Chapter 8 Changing the Light Bulb

"This ......," I was a little embarrassed, "my daughter is yours too, and if you really want us to move out, don't you feel heartache? ”

"I didn't let Ke and Xiaole go out to live, I just let you go out to live. Tong Wangjun looked at me and said.

I was speechless for a moment, and I couldn't help but regret saying that I had just said that.

"Why don't you speak?" asked Tong Wangjun.

"Don't worry, when I get a job and earn money, I'll pay you back. I said.

Tong Wangjun looked at me deeply: "Do you think that if we are divorced, we must be so clear?"

"It's not. I shook my head, "It's just that it's not appropriate for you to ask a woman to pay the rent, which should be a man's responsibility." You can take the two hundred yuan, you didn't eat here today, you have already paid for milk powder, and then let you pay for vegetables, it's not good. ”

Tong Wangjun paused and looked me up and down a few times.

"What do you see?" I wondered.

"Chen Jin, you have changed, you were not like this before, and you never said that it was a man's responsibility to support a family. Tong Wangjun said, "You can't afford to get drunk every day, let alone support your family, and you still want me to take care of you." There is not a day when you don't drink, and when you do, you get drunk and go crazy. ”

"Really?" I wasn't impressed.

What Tong Wangjun said should have happened before I woke up.

"Maybe divorce is a relief for you, marrying me, binding you, wronging you, after the divorce, you have changed, become responsible, and deliberately keep your distance from me. There was a trace of desolation in Tong Wangjun's eyes, and his voice was a little choked, but after a while, he showed a smile again.

"I know that the union between the two of us was originally a mistake. If you want to divide it so clearly, then divide it, I will take the two hundred yuan, as for the rent money, even if the house is my money, then we will not divorce. ”

Tong Wangjun took the money from me, turned his head and entered the elevator, with his back to me.

The elevator door gradually closed, and I saw Tong Wangjun raise his hand and wipe the corners of his eyes.

At this time, I suddenly found that I was not the only one who was lonely, but Tong Wangjun in the elevator was also so lonely.

I really wanted to run over, stand in front of Tong Wangjun, and ask her how I met her, how we got married, and what happened between the two of us.

But I didn't move.

No matter what the reason is, the result is already like this, Tong Wangjun and I have two children, and we are divorced, and now Tong Wangjun has a house and a car, and a talented person pursues her.

This result should be the best for her.

I didn't have any reason to interfere with her, after all, I couldn't give her the kind of life she wanted.

The elevator door opened again, and the woman next to me was stunned when she saw me at the elevator entrance.

"Wait a minute, I'll go get the bowl and rice. I looked at the light bulb in the woman's hand, said to her, and then turned and ran back to my room.

I took a plastic bag, scooped ten bowls of rice with the bowl that the woman had taken at home, looked at the small bench, squatting on the side of the small wooden bed, doing homework, and occasionally looked up at Chen Le, who was sleeping in the wooden bed, and I came to the door of the woman next door.

The door is closed.

I thought the woman would leave me a door, after all, I said I was going to fetch rice, and it was only a matter of a while, and she actually closed the door.

I knocked on the door twice.

No one answered.

I looked at it twice.

Still no one cared, but I knew the woman must be inside, so I knocked hard twice more.

There was a clang, and it seemed that the chair had collapsed.

After a while, the door opened, and the woman glared at me angrily: "Why are you knocking on the door if you have nothing to do?"

Where the woman was holding her knee with one hand, it seemed that she had just fallen.

"I borrowed your rice and bowl, and I returned it to you. I lifted the plastic bag in my hand.

"No, I don't. The woman glanced at the plastic bag in my hand and turned to go back to the house.

"That's not good, I don't like to owe favors, it's still a woman. I didn't agree, so I walked in, "I'll put it in the kitchen for you." ”

The woman wanted to get angry, but when she saw me come in, the anger on her face suddenly suppressed again, ignored me, and went to the room.

I put the rice and bowl in the kitchen and prepared to go back to the house, but halfway through, I saw the downlight in the dining room, and turned back to the door of the woman's room.

In the room, the woman is standing on a chair, her head tilted, her hands held high, and she is trying to fill the light bulb.

The woman's waist was white and looming.

"You're dangerous, you know?" I began.

Yes.

The woman screamed suddenly, staggered, and staggered to fall.

I rushed over and grabbed the woman's legs before she could fall to her feet, keeping her balanced.

But the woman didn't know if it was a foot injury or too much fright, so she actually lay directly on my back, causing my center of gravity to be unstable, and the two fell to the ground together.

"Are you alright?" I hurriedly picked the woman up.

"Why did you trespass into a private house?" the woman frowned and looked at me in disgust, "Do you believe that I called the police?"

"Can you just call the police at every turn? I'm kind enough to see that the downlight in your restaurant is not turned off, and I'm worried that you will be charged when you change the light bulb, so I'm here to help you." I said, "You don't know how to turn off the light bulb?"

The woman shook her head.

"Alright, give me the light bulb and I'll change it for you. I stretched out my hand and said.

The woman stood up, sat down on the bed, and handed me the light bulb.

I went to turn off the power first, then went into the house to change the light bulb, turned on the power, pressed the switch, and the room lit up, but it was faint yellow.

"Ceiling lamps are usually used in rooms now, but you still use this kind of bulb for home decoration?" I looked at the woman and said strangely, "It seems a little out of place, and it's an old-fashioned bulb." ”

The woman didn't speak.

I was bored, clapped my hands, and went out to my room.

In the city, people get along with each other many times separated by a wall, but there is a gully between hearts.

"Come, Ake, drink this milk and go to bed. I opened a can of milk powder and said to Chen Ke.

"I don't drink it, this one is for my sister. Chen Ke shook his head.

"Xiaole still has. I pointed to a few cans of milk powder on the table, "See, imported, five or six hundred and one cans, that's for Xiaole to drink." ”

Chen Ke looked at the milk powder on the table, and then at the milk powder I put on the side of the cabinet, and then nodded his head and took the milk in my hand.

After a few sips, Chen Ke handed me the cup: "Dad, you drink it too." ”

"You drink, Daddy is not thirsty. I laughed.

"I have a small belly and can't drink so much, Dad, you drink. Chen Ke insisted, licking the milk stain on his lips.

"Okay, then we'll split it, one and a half, okay?" I took another cup and said to Chen Ke.

Chen Ke nodded: "Okay." ”

A glass of milk was divided into two portions, and Chen Ke and I were one and a half.

This night, Chen Ke slept very sweetly, his little face was ruddy, and the corners of his mouth were smiling.

I got up in the morning, made breakfast, made a cup of milk powder for Chen Ke and Chen Le, and after Chen Ke went to school, I went out with Chen Le in my arms, wandering the streets, looking to see if I could find a job suitable for my situation.

But after walking around, I cheekily entered a clothing store to apply for a salesman, and it had already been negotiated, but when I said that I had to take my children to work, the boss immediately drove people away.

The wind was a little cold, and the fallen leaves were rolling, and I covered Chen Le's face to my chest, and walked around with my head shrunk, aimlessly.

I was really a little desperate, the big city, such as the population, the people around me were all in a hurry, and they looked busy, and I was the only one who seemed to be idle, and I didn't fit in with this city.

The city seems to have abandoned our family of three.

Is it difficult to go back to your parents?

I shook my head, I was an adult, married, and had children, so I had to support a family instead of continuing to ask.

When I passed a flyover, I saw the stalls on both sides, and my eyes lit up, maybe I could try this.

With the direction, I didn't rush to do it, but spent half a day, constantly observing by the flyover, and finally found that the insoles sold the best, and many passers-by would stop and buy one or two pairs of thicker insels.

In just four or five hours, I saw a stall selling thirty or forty pairs of insoles, and the price of a pair of insoles was three or four yuan, which could make at least half of the profit, and two or three thousand yuan a month.

It's barely enough to feed my father and daughter.
