Xinya didn't live with me anymore, and when she got home in the evening, she had to go back to her old business and cook and eat by herself. As soon as I cleaned up the kitchen and sat in front of the TV to watch the ball game, my mother-in-law called to ask about meeting Xiao Qin.

"You kid, you eat alone when you go home, why don't you invite her to dinner when you have a good conversation?"

"It's not the first time, it's not that familiar. "I can't tell the truth, I have to make my mother-in-law think that we are in a good relationship.

The mother-in-law didn't finish: "You are all from here, my granddaughters are all in college, and Xiao Qin is not small, don't be as bells and whistles as young as Xiaoxiao, it's okay to do things quickly when you meet twice." ”

Where is this?

The old man is kind, I don't want to peel her face.

"Mom, this matter is in a hurry. Truly understanding a person is not a matter of one or two days, let alone what people think. ”

"This is easy to do, I'll let your sister inquire, Xiao Qin as long as you want, you can hurry up. "My mother-in-law has always been crisp and neat in her work, and she applies this style to me to this matter, which is really a bit unbearable.

"Mom, Mom, I beg you, don't ask anyone, I'll ask myself, okay?"

Probably in my eagerness to stop, my mother-in-law said, "Okay then, we don't ask." But you have to take Mom's words to heart, do you hear me?"

I didn't know how to respond, my mother-in-law on the other end of the phone paused, changed to a somewhat bleak tone and said: "Mom, this is also for your good, Mom can't bear to watch you live alone and lonely, so let's start a family as soon as possible." ”

My eyes were glazed, and while trying to control my emotions, I said to the other end of the phone, "Mom, I understand your intentions. I'm actually pretty good, don't worry. ”

It was nothing, but let my mother-in-law sensationalize it, and I felt very uncomfortable.

After hanging up my mother-in-law's phone, I didn't have the heart to sit in front of the TV, ran to the study on the second floor, sat on the single bed, leaned against the wall, and looked at the portrait of my wife on the opposite wall by the reflection of the moonlight, and unconsciously recited Li Bai's poem "Autumn Wind Words":

The autumn breeze is clear, the autumn moon is bright,

The fallen leaves gather and disperse, and the jackdaws are frightened.

Lovesick and embarrassed at this night!

Enter my lovesick door, know my lovesickness,

Sauvignon Blanc long memories, Sauvignon Blanc is infinite,

I knew it was so stumbling, how could I not know each other at the beginning.

When I felt tears falling onto my chest clothes, I realized that I had been sitting like this for a long time, and I was a little out of shape.

I hurriedly got out of bed, lit three sticks of incense for my wife in the incense jar, and then dragged my tired body downstairs.

======

I don't know if Guimei's explanation of perjury worked, or if Xinya figured it out later, but the next day after work, Xinya dragged her suitcase to my office and said that she would come with me after work.

When I reacted, my mood was as bright and refreshing as the sky in the liberated areas.

"What, finally figured it out?" I asked Xinya with a hippie smile when her expression was less tense.

It's because I haven't understood it yet, so I don't think we should blindly make a conclusion about a person's coffin. ”

"Can you give yourself a change next time?"

Xinya probably forgot that the last time she moved away in anger and moved back, she also used similar words to relieve herself.

"What steps?"

"It's nothing, I mean that the next time I give in and admit defeat, you will accept it when you see it. ”

Xinya glared at me with white eyes: "Do you want to tell me a story?"

"No, no. Oh, I mean don't say you're sick. "I think I must have been a slave back then.

Xinya once again put aside the previous suspicions, it does not mean that the matter has passed, if those strange things don't come to light, I will still carry a black back.

But where do I go to find out who I can find? I sleep at home, I don't get along with anyone, and I can't tell anyone clearly.

After pondering and pondering, I finally came up with a solution that I was ashamed of not expecting.

I brought back a cardboard box from outside that day, and Xinya asked me what it was, and I said, "I want to prove my innocence." ”

Xinya didn't understand, and casually glanced at the box in my hand, and didn't intend to ask again.

"I want to have a camera in front of my house. ”

I'm ashamed that I couldn't think of such a simple solution earlier, but after all, I still came up with it, so I was a little complacent.

"What are you doing?" Xinya was neither surprised nor negative.

"You see, when those strange things happened, every time I slept at home, I never went out, and I had to say that I did the bad things. Even if a street or on-site camera captures a person who looks like me, if I can record that I didn't go out of the house that night, wouldn't that prove that person wasn't me but probably a clone of 'me'?"

I was still a little proud when I said this. Several times the police asked me to show the evidence that I was not at the scene of the "crime" at home that night, and I was dumb to eat Coptis chinensis, and I thought that next time if this situation happens again, I will prove it to you.

Xinya understood my intentions, looked at me with a smile and a smile, and said, "Are you stupid? Do you really have to start and end at home when you really go out to do bad things? Can't you go directly from the office or after eating out at night? Can't you prove that you are at home and still need to prove that you didn't go out? Aren't you quite smart, and your brain is squeezing the door at this time?"

My focus has always been on me lying at home and "doing evil" outside, so I just think about monitoring whether I will go out at night and don't think about it that much.

"That's... It's..."It's so embarrassing, and the little smugness that comes in the door is ashamed.

"Since you bought it, put it on. I can't prove to the police that at least I know what I know. ”

Also, I can't prove to the police if I'm at the scene, it's always okay for me to monitor whether I was out of the house for my own reference when it happened.

"You're still wise!"

I gave Xinya a thumbs up again and again, and the little smugness I had just now ran to Xinya's face, and she was silent about arrogance and irritability.

The camera is installed outside the gate, and the situation in and around the gate can be "seen".

When I went upstairs to sleep in the evening, Xinya stopped me and said, "Wait a minute, you can take this and hang it." ”

I turned around and saw Xinya holding the red lacquered wooden sword that Master had given me.

Seeing that I was puzzled, Xinya looked at her and explained: "Some time ago, I accidentally broke the lanyard when I was cleaning, and the rope was a little short after I connected it, so I didn't hang it. After I got angry with you and left, I happened to see this red rope very beautiful one day in a street stall, and I remembered that I bought two of them, and now I have tied them. ”

"No wonder, I think there's something missing in my study, and I didn't notice it's this. ”

Xinya smiled and handed me the sword.

I hung it back to where it was.
