Chapter 0004: Conflict
Kang Mingsong, who fooled his mother, was thinking about how to face the dilemma in front of him with a bitter face.
If he was asked to break up with Lu Xiaofang, he would not be very willing, if this was the case, he would not have chosen to resign from the research institute two years ago and return to his hometown to save the love between the two.
Although I resigned from the graduate school partly because I didn't like the job very much, but more because of my girlfriend.
Now, after two years of living together, even if there was no emotion, there was a relationship, not to mention that the two were still deeply in love.
What's more, during this period, Lu Xiaofang also conceived his child twice, although after discussion, she didn't choose to have it.
Moreover, Kang Mingsong is still quite satisfied with his girlfriend, whether it is personal conditions, education, or even personal character.
Although she did not graduate from a prestigious university, she also graduated from a formal medical college, had a stable job, and was studying for a bachelor's degree in medicine; in terms of appearance, although she could not be said to be the best in the world, she was also a little beauty in her eighties; although she liked money a little, she was not a money worshipper, she did not have the habit of spending money lavishly, and she did not have any bad habits; although she occasionally liked to make trouble and have a small temper, but she did not have any bad intentions.
Such a woman, if she can be with her for a lifetime, is also a good object.
However, the remaining two choices in the "ultimatum" she gave herself just now are really not what Kang Mingsong wants.
For a while, Kang Mingsong was very entangled.
In the end, under the idea of wanting to save the relationship between the two for nearly four years, Kang Mingsong decided to go back to the city and have a good talk with Lu Xiaofang.
told his parents that he was going to the city and clean up his room, and Kang Mingsong got on the minibus into the city.
Neither of the parents doubted this, after all, Kang Mingsong had been home for more than a month, and it was normal to go back to the city to clean up.

No. 88 Renmin West Road, West Point Coffee House.
With the development of the economy, the flow of people and goods between the East and the West is also increasing, and Chinese restaurants are also popular in the Western world, and the Western way of life has also taken root in the East.
Although Guxing is only a small mountainous town with a population of about 200,000, it is not uncommon to see elements of Western life such as coffee houses and Western restaurants, and the West Point Coffee House is one of them.
Because of the surrounding gathering of various departments of the Guxing District Party Committee and District Government, as well as the Guxing People's Hospital, the business of the West Point Coffee House has always been booming, and the location is very tight, and sometimes it is even necessary to book in advance.
However, it is now the middle of April, which is not the peak season for business, so it is not impossible to find a location.
In a relatively remote and quiet private room, Lu Xiaofang sat quietly in a daze.
She is becoming more and more dissatisfied with her current life, even though it is the way she most aspires to live when she graduated from college two years ago.
Seeing the friends around me at the same time, every time I get off work, I go to drink coffee, watch movies, go shopping, and even go to the park or suburbs together on weekends to travel, this kind of comfortable life for young girls, who doesn't envy?
Not to mention that when the weather changes, two people huddle up next to each other in the room, watching TV on the couch or bed, or even doing something shameful.
Therefore, during that time, she lost her temper with her boyfriend intentionally or unintentionally, making her petty and hard, and finally let her boyfriend resign from Xichuan and return to Guxing's hometown.
However, as she grew older, she finally realized the pressures and hardships of life, and realized that in the face of real needs, romance is not so important.
Especially when I watched the former little sisters live in spacious and comfortable new houses one by one, and there are beautiful cars to pick them up and drop off from work, while I can only live in a rental house with my boyfriend and commute on foot, this psychological gap is even greater.
This is despite the fact that the rental house is less than 500 meters away from the hospital where I work.
As the aunt said, no matter how educated Kang Mingsong is, he can take care of people, he can't afford to buy a house or a car, and he can only endure hardships if he marries him, so why did he hang himself on this tree?
I am twenty-five years old this year, and I have reached an age where I can't afford to drag it out.

When Kang Mingsong came in, Lu Xiaofang reclined on the sofa and asked casually, "How do you eat dinner?"
"Whatever. Kang Mingsong also said casually.
"What do you mean casual?" Lu Xiaofang said a little unhappily.
Kang Mingsong hesitated for a moment and said, "I just came back, I didn't buy vegetables, let's eat outside." ”
Lu Xiaofang was even more unhappy, frowned and glanced at Kang Mingsong, and said, "How did you do it, you didn't bring any food from home?"
Lu Xiaofang is a little unreasonable, it was not like this in the past, Kang Mingsong did not squeak, he knew that explaining at this time would be counterproductive, so keeping silent was the best way.
Lu Xiaofang also realized this, but she was just not in a good mood, she was really fed up with this kind of life.
"What about what I said on the phone in the afternoon?" a mocking smile appeared on the corner of Lu Xiaofang's mouth.
She knew it was inappropriate, but she found it difficult to show her attitude without it.
When men and women cross that line, they will expose their shortcomings and deficiencies in many aspects, and to a large extent, it will be a test of whether the two sides can tolerate and compromise with each other, which is a run-in process.
When this process is successfully passed, then it means that the first difficulty has been passed, and once the contradictions and grievances continue to accumulate but it is difficult to release and resolve, then it will erupt at a certain characteristic time node, and the consequences will be difficult to predict.
"Xiaofang, do you really think that if I go to a company to find a class, or take a civil service exam or something, I can solve the problem between us?" Kang Mingsong asked rhetorically.
"I didn't say that I could solve the problem all at once, but it's better than seeing no hope at all like now, right?" Lu Xiaofang was a little angry as soon as she said it, "You stay at home every day and write novels, at most you go to be a tutor, is this a long-term solution?"
"According to what you said, I might as well not come back two years ago......" Kang Mingsong regretted a little as soon as he spoke, and when the topic returned to this, I am afraid it would be difficult to stop.
"Why don't you come back two years ago?" Lu Xiaofang's voice raised a few degrees.
"Xiaofang, it's boring to say this. Kang Mingsong said helplessly.
"Then what do you think is interesting?" Lu Xiaofang asked rhetorically, "Do you spend your whole life in the house writing novels?" Or can you be a tutor for the rest of your life?"
