Chapter 1: Ex-Wife
"Dad, I'm going to school. ”
In a daze, I heard this voice.
Father?
I'm only in my third year of high school, I just finished the college entrance examination, I had dinner with my classmates, and I drank a lot of alcohol under indulgence, but I'm only eighteen years old, how did I become a father all of a sudden?
Are you dreaming?
"The teacher said that he would charge a donation fee of 10 yuan. In my ears, the voice rang again.
The girl's voice, listening to the voice, knows that she is not very old, very crisp, very good, but there is a trace of worry and helplessness in her tone.
The voice was so clear that I woke up suddenly, and when I opened my eyes, I saw a little girl standing in front of me.
The girl was very delicate, not very old but had the appearance of a beautiful embryo, with a ponytail, black and bright hair, seven or eight years old, carrying a pink school bag, looking at me.
The eyebrows and eyes do look a little like me.
"Are you talking to me?" I asked, out of the corner of my eye, a little confused and a little panicked.
This is not a hotel, but a home.
On the security net on the window, there are a few clothes hanging, a few pots of flowers and plants are resting underneath, one pot has been cooked, and there is a cabinet in the corner of the wall on one side.
On the cabinet were messy combs, toilet paper, mirrors, and a few clothes that had been taken off and had not had time to be changed, and there seemed to be a few pieces of diapers on the clothes.
There is a shoe cabinet at the door, with some dust on it, which seems to have not been wiped for a long time, and on the side of the shoe cabinet, there is a square table, on which there is a red plastic vegetable cover, and there are two dishes underneath, which are covered and cannot be seen.
"Dad, if I don't talk to you, am I talking to my sister?" the girl said, "Today is the deadline, and the teacher said that you must bring ten yuan, otherwise you will be criticized." ”
And a sister?
I was startled again, and finally I noticed that there was a baby bed at the foot of the bed, wooden, with some quilt in it, and I sat up and glanced in.
Sure enough, there was a child lying in the crib, asleep, and looked to be only about a year old.
I touched my lip, a little prickly.
I panicked, got out of bed, ran to the cabinet and picked up the small round mirror, and couldn't wait to see myself in the mirror.
When I saw this, I was stunned.
In the mirror, although I can vaguely see the appearance of the eighteen-year-old, the whole person is eight or nine years older, the childishness has completely disappeared, and he has matured a lot, and the whole person has completely lost the spirit of the eighteen-year-old, and he looks a little decadent, the beard has grown a lot, and the hair is still a little greasy.
At this time, I no longer doubt that it is very likely that I will inexplicably come to eight or nine years later because of the indulgence after the college entrance examination.
In other words, I am now eight or nine years later, but I can't remember any memories of these years, as if I had amnesia.
"Is there no money?" said the little girl again, with some grievance and some fear in her voice.
Probably because I was worried about being punished and criticized by the teacher.
"If you have money, how can you not have money, isn't it just ten yuan, you wait. I hurriedly said, rummaging around.
The pockets were empty, and there was not a penny except for a pack of cigarettes.
"That...... Do you know where I put my money?" I was a little embarrassed, and turned to the little girl, "I'm a little dazed, my head is still dizzy, and my memory is not very good." ”
"You've always had money in your pocket. The little girl said.
"But I don't have it in my pocket, I don't have a dime. I said, "I don't even have a bank card." ”
Suddenly, I thought of a possibility, and showed a sudden realization expression: "I remembered, is it that the money and bank cards are in your mother's house, and she hid them?"
I accepted my identity for the time being, and the reasons behind me will be further investigated later.
Since I have two daughters, it means that I am already married, and I am still in a relationship. It's just that I have some regrets, I haven't felt the pleasure of popping, but I suddenly have two daughters.
It feels weird.
"Dad, are you alright?" the little girl looked at me with some concern, "Mom left us half a year ago, how could she hide your money?"
Daughter-in-law ran away?
"Why is she leaving?" I was a little annoyed.
"Mom said that you are not motivated, you have been married for so many years, you are lazy, you refuse to go out to work, you only think about writing novels, you only earn a few hundred yuan a month, and even your sister's milk powder money is not enough, I am fed up with you, so I left. The little girl said.
All right.
I sighed, completely unimpressed.
"Don't worry, I'll look for it again, with such a big family, I don't believe that I can't find any money. I comforted the little girl, my daughter, and rummaged around again.
Finally, the emperor lived up to his wishes, and I pouted my ass and pulled out a dollar coin from under the bed.
"Dad has money, do you see it? Take it to your teacher. I brushed the dust off the coin, wiped it twice more on my body, and handed it to my daughter.
"Just a dollar?" the daughter took the coin, not very emotional.
"You are wrong, how can you have such a thought?" I was a little unhappy, and the education criticized, "Donations cannot be compulsory, they have to be voluntary, and your teacher's practice of forcing everyone to donate ten yuan is not right." ”
Besides, as long as there is love, even a dime, it is a good deed, and a dollar is no different from ten dollars. Alright, let's go to school quickly, don't be late. ”
"Oh. The daughter seemed to understand a little, her mood improved, and she hurried out.
There was no one left in the house except for a sleeping baby, and it was only then that I breathed a sigh of relief and walked around the house, trying to find some useful clues to deal with the situation I was facing.
This home is not big, less than 50 square meters, there are kitchen and bathroom, but there is only one room, bedroom, dining room, living room are all crowded together, in the drawer, I found a photo pressed under the clothes.
There are four people in the photo.
One is the little girl just now, the other is a baby in swaddling clothes, and there are two people, one is me, and the other is a woman, twenty-three or four-year-old, very beautiful, standing beside me with swaddling clothes, it should be my daughter-in-law.
This woman is one meter seven tall, only seven or eight centimeters shorter than me, she is very tall among women, she is very capable, her face is good, and she is very beautiful.
It's just that when I took this photo, the woman seemed to have something on her mind, and she didn't feel much emotional, and her brows frowned slightly.
"I'm not impressed at all. I muttered, I don't know the woman in the photo.
I guess I met after high school.
"Didn't Tang Wan and I get together in the end?" When I was in high school, I had someone I liked, and I originally thought that she would not marry in the future, but I didn't expect that I would marry another woman and have children.
On the back of the photo, there are several names, and in the middle there is a heart-shaped pattern connected together.
"Chen Jin, well, it's my name. I muttered softly, "Tong Wangjun, it should be this woman's name, Wangjun, this name is interesting, her parents must be disappointed that they gave birth to a daughter." ”
"Sure enough, I don't know it, I have never heard of the name Tong Wangjun. Chen Ke, Chen Le, this should be the name of the two daughters, and I don't know who gave it to me, so I don't have any impression at all. ”
In the middle seven or eight years, there was no memory at all, it was a blank, and I couldn't think of anything.
On the messy bed, I found another homework book, on which the name column was written with the word Chen Ke, and the class was the third class of the third grade.
If you can't write in the crib, then Chen Ke can only be the name of the eldest daughter, and the daughter in the crib is Chen Le.
I lifted the plastic dish cover on the table and saw two plates of unfinished dishes, and I was a little stunned.
A plate of cabbage, a small half left, and a plate of white radish with half left.
"This family seems to be very poor. I muttered.
Two dishes, no meat at all, just these two dishes, or common green vegetables, very cheap, used to be the scene of the school cafeteria.
I didn't expect that I would fall to this point without meat and without joy, and my family background was quite good.
"When Chen Ke went out just now, he didn't seem to have breakfast. "Looking at the food on the table, I suddenly realized the problem.
I couldn't find ten yuan, Chen Ke naturally didn't have the money to go outside too early, I went to the kitchen to look for a while, the rice jar was empty, and the garbage basket was stuffed with noodle bags, which was still the cheapest kind of noodles.
I think when I used to be in high school, my family was well-off, and my living expenses were more than 300 yuan a week, and the average student was only 100 yuan.
Thinking of Chen Ke listening to the lecture hungry in the classroom, suddenly, I felt a little sad.
There was a knock on the door, I walked over, opened the door, and there was a beautiful woman standing outside the door, it was the woman named Tong Wangjun in the photo I had just seen.
My daughter-in-law.
