Chapter 2: The Wife
After putting down the album, Shen Congyun took out a pack of cigarettes from the cabinet and lit one.
Shen Congyun smoked when he was young, but when he was thirty-five years old, after having a daughter, because the house he lived in at that time was still so small, in order not to affect Qianqian's health, Shen Congyun quit his addiction to smoking.
I haven't smoked it for more than ten years, and I took a sharp puff, which made Shen Congyun cough uncontrollably.
After smoking a cigarette, Shen Congyun stood up and went to the kitchen, washing vegetables, cooking, and waiting for his wife to return.
Like cigarettes, Shen Congyun has not cooked for nearly ten years, at this juncture, he suddenly wants to cook a meal for his wife, every day she waits for her to come back, and she waits for her today, if you don't cherish today, you may not have a chance tomorrow.
After the meal was cooked, Shen Congyun put the meal on the table, looked at the simple four dishes and one soup on the table, and was crying in his heart, I really don't know what medicine I took three years ago, and I actually helped Zhang Desheng for personal gain, at this time the boat capsized, but no one wanted to save him, smiled bitterly, sat on the chair and waited quietly for his wife to return.
Looking at his watch, it was already six o'clock, Shen Congyun knew that his wife was coming back soon, and adjusted his emotions.
Sure enough, after a while, the door opened.
His wife's name is Wang Huifang, she looks like a loving mother and a good wife, she and Shen Congyun met on a blind date, before getting married, she had no emotional foundation, and she has been married for 23 years, but her relationship has always been very good.
Wang Huifang was surprised when she saw that the meal had been prepared: "Old Shen, what's wrong with you today, why are you cooking?"
Shen Congyun smiled and said, "Huifang, go wash your hands, you haven't tasted my cooking for many years, let's see if my craftsmanship has regressed today." ”
Shen Congyun's tone was very calm, and he was trying to restrain his thoughts.
Wang Huifang smiled and shook her head, she couldn't understand what Lao Shen was thinking?
She went into the bedroom and put down her handbag.
In the bedroom, Wang Huifang smelled the smell of cigarettes, and saw the photo album on the table as if it had been flipped, and suddenly felt shocked: "Old Shen, there won't be an accident." ”
Wang Huifang hurriedly walked out of the bedroom, saw Shen Congyun who was waiting for him to eat, and hurriedly said: "Old Shen, tell me the truth, did you have an accident?" As he spoke, he walked to Shen Congyun's side, touched Shen Congyun's forehead, and said, "Are you sick, if you are sick, don't hide it from me and Qianqian." ”
Shen Congyun smiled dumbly and said, "How could I be sick, even if I am sick, you are a doctor, can't you see it?" Go and wash your hands, I'm still waiting for you to eat." ”
Wang Huifang couldn't help Shen Congyun, there was no choice but to listen to Shen Congyun's words, wash his hands and eat.
"Old Shen, are you really okay?"
"What can I do? Don't think about it, eat it, try my craft. Shen Congyun said with a smile.
Although Shen Congyun kept saying that he was okay or something, Wang Huifang didn't believe it, but she also knew that if she asked Shen Congyun again, he wouldn't tell herself.
Wang Huifang sighed, picked up the vegetables and put them in the bowl, and took a bite slowly, only to find that Shen Congyun had been looking at her.
"What are you looking at?"
"Huifang, you said, have you ever regretted following me in this life?"
"Why do you ask that? Old Shen, is there really nothing wrong with your body, I'll take you to the hospital for a check-up tomorrow, okay?"
so that I can rest assured. ”
"You don't have to think about it too much, it's just that people think about more things when they get older, I just think about the things before and feel nostalgic. Shen Congyun said softly.
"We've been together for more than 20 years, and there's nothing I regret or don't regret, I've never thought about. Wang Huifang sighed and said.
"It's my blessing to be able to marry you, Huifang, you said that your daughter has grown up, and you have to watch more when she gets married in the future. ”
"Old Shen, what's wrong with you today, what happened? Can't you tell me? We have lived together for twenty-three years, and we are already each other's closest relatives, if there is really something, don't you bury yourself in your heart, okay?"
Wang Huifang stood up, looked at Shen Congyun and said excitedly, listening to Shen Congyun's words like a will, Wang Huifang really couldn't stand it.
Shen Congyun smiled bitterly, also stood up, walked to Wang Huifang's side, patted Wang Huifang's shoulder lightly and said: "I know, the best person for me in this world is not our daughter, it's you, we are relatives, if there is anything, I will really be the first to tell you, but now really, there is nothing to tell you, what to tell you." ”
"Then what are you talking about, my daughter's husband, I have to keep an eye on it. ”
"I'll keep an eye on it, don't worry. Shen Congyun said softly.
He knew that what he said was too straightforward, and anyone who listened to it would think too much and make up his mind not to say it again.
After Shen Congyun's appeasement, Wang Huifang calmed down and ate something, after dinner, Wang Huifang cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and Shen Congyun sat on the side, looking at Wang Huifang quietly.
Tomorrow when she knows what is going on, will she be able to hold on.
Shen Congyun didn't dare to think about it, got up and walked to the bedroom, Wang Huifang looked at Shen Congyun's back, and her heart was like turning over a five-flavor bottle, not a taste.
Back in the bedroom, Shen Congyun lay on the bed, closed his eyes and rested.
As soon as he lay down, the mobile phone rang, so he had no choice but to get up, pick up the mobile phone, and when he saw that it was Zhang Desheng's phone, he sighed and pressed the answer button.
"Old Shen, are you at home?"
"District Chief Zhang, I'm at home, is there anything wrong?"
"I want to invite you to dinner, and I will be downstairs in ten minutes from your house, and I must give face. ”
"District Chief Zhang, you don't have to eat, don't worry, I know what to do. Shen Congyun declined.
On the last peaceful night, Shen Congyun certainly didn't want to accompany Zhang Desheng to dinner.
Zhang Desheng paused for a while, as if he didn't expect Shen Congyun to refuse him, but it was only for a moment, and then he said with a smile: "Old Shen, we are not only a subordinate relationship, but also a friend relationship, please have no other meaning, is it possible that you really want to save my face and not come?"
Zhang Desheng had already said it like this, so that Shen Congyun couldn't refuse, thought for a while, and said, "Okay, but at ten o'clock in the evening, I have to go home." ”
"Okay. We'll see you later. After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Shen Congyun walked out of the bedroom, walked to the kitchen, looked at Wang Huifang who was busy and said, "Huifang, District Chief Zhang invited me to dinner, I want to go out for a while, I should be able to get home at about ten o'clock in the evening, don't wait for me, you rest early." ”
Wang Huifang nodded and said with concern: "You drink less." ”
Shen Congyun answered, then wanted to go out, took two steps, and suddenly stopped: "Huifang, I am lucky to be able to marry you." With that, he strode towards the door.
Looking at Shen Congyun's back, not knowing how to get it, Wang Huifang suddenly had an ominous premonition and shouted, "Old Shen." ”
Shen Congyun turned his head, looked at Wang Huifang and said, "Is there anything else?"
"Come back early, I'll wait for you. ”
The sentence made Shen Congyun's tears almost fall, but after years of rolling in officialdom, the emotional fluctuations can still be controlled.
He nodded and said, "I know, I'll be back soon." "When you go out, lean against the door, close your eyes, and breathe heavily.
And Wang Huifang, who was in the room, whispered at this time: "It's also my luck to be able to marry you." ”
However, Shen Congyun never had a chance to hear this sentence again.
After going downstairs and waiting for less than five minutes, Zhang Desheng's special car, a brand-new Audi A6, stopped in front of Shen Congyun, thinking that it should be when the car drove nearby, Zhang Desheng called himself, and he had no chance and right to refuse, so he sulked in his heart and didn't get into the car.
The driver opened the window and shouted, "Director Shen, hurry up and get in the car, District Chief Zhang is still waiting for you." ”
"Where to eat. ”
"An unknown small hot pot restaurant, I don't know how District Chief Zhang found that place, get in the car, Director Shen, you said that it is not good to let the district chief wait for you and me. "The driver was polite to Shen Congyun, the reason is that everyone knows that Shen Congyun and Zhang Desheng are old classmates in the early years, and they have a good relationship, so the driver is polite to Shen Congyun.
