When she got up in the afternoon, Dongmei washed her face and finally slept out of the fatigue of the day. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, she knew that after she woke up, she would only have an hour to rest at most, because after Wei Guo purchased the ingredients from the street, she would immediately devote herself to the process of preparing for the next day's food.

The children are all at school, Wei Guo went out to buy ingredients, and Dongmei was rarely clean.

Dongmei stretched and yawned, ready to go out for a walk.

Since she settled in the farmers' market and started selling food, she has basically lived a life of two points and one line every day, home, farmers' market, home, coming and going, and never crossing these two points and one line.

Dongmei, who walked out of the door, saw that the door on the opposite side was also open.

Dongmei looked at the door curiously, since moving to this cadre building, Dongmei is familiar with only three people, one is Chang Dalei's mother upstairs, one is Li Heng's mother on the fourth floor, and Wang Chaoying and Wang Xue'e and his wife in the third unit, as for who lives in the opposite door, Dongmei not only hasn't seen it, but even feels that this family seems to have never lived.

Just when Dongmei was surprised, a familiar figure came out of the opposite door.

She led a five-year-old boy and turned out as she closed the door.

When this woman turned around, Dongmei was stunned, she was none other than Li Guilan, her good sister when she was in Xinjiang more than ten years ago.

Dongmei shouted overjoyed: "Li Guilan?"

Hearing someone shouting her name, Li Guilan turned her head and looked at Dongmei.

After a while, she finally popped out of her mouth with three words: "Yin Dongmei?"

Sure enough, it was Li Guilan, Dongmei couldn't close her mouth excitedly, she hadn't seen her for more than ten years, but she suddenly met today, and it was the right door, what a coincidence.

Dongmei said excitedly: "Li Guilan, why are you here, I haven't seen you for more than ten years." “

Li Guilan was also extremely excited, since the Changqing Oilfield retreated from Xinjiang, the two have lost contact.

In that era when there was no mobile phone, no phone, no WeChat, no QQ, and no mailbox, if you didn't remember the other party's mailing address, then you would definitely lose contact completely.

Li Guilan's eyes were rosy and said, "Dongmei, I haven't seen you for more than ten years, I'm really happy to see you today." ”

Dongmei looked Li Guilan up and down, she was still dark and thin, but her age was unforgiving, and she was a lot older.

Dongmei hurriedly invited Li Guilan into the house to sit, she said, "Li Guilan, come up to my house and sit down." ”

Li Guilan walked into Dongmei's house, looked at Dongmei and said, "Dongmei, I haven't seen you for more than ten years, you are still so young and beautiful, and your skin is still so white." ”

Listening to Li Guilan's words of praising herself, when Dongmei was just about to say that Sister Li was really good at talking, she didn't expect Li Guilan to suddenly tell the truth, she said: "Dongmei, why are you so fat now, I remember that in Xinjiang, when I first saw you, you were thin and tall, and your strips were so good, how did you become a round now." ”

Dongmei knows that people who are always around them are in contact every day, and they can't see the changes in each other's bodies, and only people who haven't seen each other for a long time can see the changes in each other's bodies.

Hearing Li Guilan say that she was fat, Dongmei realized that since she started selling food, she has really gained a lot of weight, and the degree of obesity continues to increase.

Dongmei smiled and said: "Age is not forgiving, people in their thirties, I don't know how to feel fat." ”

When Li Guilan heard that Dongmei was already in her thirties, she couldn't help but widen her eyes, looked at Dongmei and said, "Wow, the world is really fast, when I first met you, you were only in your early twenties, and now you are in your thirties, I thought you were still in your twenties." ”

After speaking, Li Guilan followed Dongmei into Dongmei's house.

Dongmei pointed to Li Guilan's crow's feet at the corners of her eyes and said, "If only I were in my twenties, now that I'm old, I'll be forty in a few years, look at these crow's feet." ”

As she spoke, Dongmei took out a banana from the refrigerator at home and gave the child next to Li Guilan and said, "Children, eat the fruit quickly." ”

The child was shy and did not dare to take the fruit that Dongmei gave him.

Li Guilan took the fruit for the child and said, "Dongmei, I forgot to introduce it to you, this is my son." ”

Hearing that the child in front of her, who was only about five years old, was Li Guilan's child, Dongmei couldn't help but widen her glasses, looked at Li Guilan and said, "Sister Li, I'm really sorry, this is your son, I thought this child was your daughter's child." ”

Hearing this, Li Guilan smiled awkwardly and said: "Just to give birth to this son, I only went back to my hometown for more than ten years, otherwise, I would have come out early." ”

It turned out that Li Guilan's husband had a serious feudal mentality, and although the two already had two daughters, he always felt that he couldn't do without a son.

So, when Changqing came back from Xinjiang, he took Li Guilan back to his hometown, in order to avoid the birth policy of the unit, and secretly have a child, and it must be a son.

Li Guilan is a traditional woman, she knows that she never had shoes to wear, she couldn't eat, and now she has no worries about food and clothing, all thanks to her husband, so her husband's words are holy decrees, Li Guilan finally gave birth to this son when she was forty-one years old.

Dongmei looked at Li Guilan's son, who looked exactly like Li Guilan, and praised her son and said, "The child is so good-looking, what's your name." ”

Li Guilan said for her son: "You tell Auntie, your name is Yu Xinghai." ”

Hearing that Li Guilan's son was surnamed Yu, Dongmei asked in surprise: "I remember that your husband and you are both surnamed Li, how can you give your son the surname Yu?"

Li Guilan helplessly explained: "I gave birth to two daughters, which is already considered a superbirth, Lao Li has to have a son, no, the third son, can only temporarily let him be surnamed Yu, and use the children of relatives to Xuancheng, otherwise, if the unit finds out that this child is born to Lao Li Chao, it must take his job." ”

Hearing this, Dongmei understood, it turned out to be like this, like Sister-in-law Du's family, the third child in Li Guilan's family also existed in the form of a relative's child.

Dongmei looked at Li Guilan and thought, Sister Li is really a traditional good woman, if it were herself, my husband would let me have another child in my forties, and I would definitely not be able to kill him, after all, when I am older, both adults and children have to take a high risk.

At the same time, Dongmei sighed and admired Li Guilan's courage.

When she was twenty years old, she gave birth to her eldest daughter, and when she was in her forties, she gave birth to a younger son.

To tell the truth, Li Guilan's childbirth is really a bit like the society before liberation, where a mother and daughter gave birth to a child, and the two children born were generally old, but one was a son and the other was a grandson.

In the past, women were very pitiful, because there was no contraception and no family planning, so they were giving birth to children all their lives, until they couldn't give birth.

From Li Guilan's body, Dongmei thought of the women of the past, who could neither pursue their own careers nor have their own jobs, and had been giving birth to their husbands all their lives, which was simply a tool for inheritance?

If a woman lives like that all her life, neither able to pursue her dreams nor fight for her career, how sad it would be.

Dongmei sighed, it's better in this era, it's good in this society now, if there is no such a good society, she is a housewife, she must stay at home, look forward to her husband, and obey her words.

Now, women can not only live for themselves, but also take risks to pursue their careers, to struggle, to fight, to realize a woman's lifelong dream.
