Chapter 44: Farewell to the Child
The director gave me a chance to go out for training, which flattered me, who had always been left out in the cold, and agreed immediately. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Are you gone, do you have anyone to take care of the children?" the director asked me at the time.
"Yes, yes!" I said.
"That's good, you and Wang Xu go together, this is a new job, and it depends on the two of you whether this work can be carried out smoothly. The director changed his previous cold face and said to me with a smile.
"Oh, not me?" I was a little surprised to know that there was a companion.
"Yes, you have to do this work with at least two people, and you can't do it alone. ”
"Okay Director, I won't let you down this time. ”
"Well, I just decided to hand over this new job to you after seeing that the file you sorted out successfully passed the second-level acceptance, young people have to work hard, you can't be entangled in housework all day long, if you still stand still in another ten years, your chances of promotion will be slim. ”
"Got it, Director, thank you!"
When I came out of the director's office, I was in a very happy mood, and took the initiative to discuss the departure with Wang Xu, a college student who had been newly assigned, and hummed a little song all the way home after work.
In the evening, I cooked eight-treasure millet porridge and baked mille-feuille cakes, and while feeding Yangyang to eat, I waited for Lu Tao to come back and report the good news to him.
Until he quit the English class in Yangyang, Lu Tao has been in a bad mood, ignoring me for many days, and sleeping alone in the big bedroom at night, which makes me embarrassed to go over when I want to find him several times.
Don't look at me in other aspects, but I am very stupid in terms of love between men and women, even in the face of my husband, I can't let go, I never take the initiative, and I always feel in my heart that a woman is too frivolous when she takes the initiative. When I was in college, I was very disdainful of those female classmates who held her boyfriend's arm all day long, thinking that they were very superficial and self-respecting, and they showed off in front of people such a very hidden thing as falling in love, as if they felt how attractive they were. Many of them hung up several subjects before graduation, and they didn't even get their graduation certificates, although not all of them were in love, but I think it has something to do with falling in love. How can they think that falling in love is more important than studying? It turns out that people's interest in love is far greater than their interest in learning, and sex is the instinct of all living beings, not just human beings. But even though I figured it out, I still couldn't get rid of my old stereotype, as if I was worried that the people around me wouldn't know me all of a sudden, especially my mother. I'm sure it was my mother's old feudal brain who taught me to be like this, not to dress too fashionably, not to go into the dance hall casually, to always maintain a neutral dress, and often forget that I was a woman. Although Lu Tao and I also loved vigorously at the beginning, completely ignoring my mother's opposition, Lu Tao is the only person I have ever loved. Before him, my feelings were blank. After marriage, Lu Tao often said that there was a lack of emotion between us, like a pair of partners.
After Lu Tao went home, I took the initiative to serve him food, and when his face warmed up, I said to him proudly: "I'm going out to participate in training, a new job, and I may not have to organize my files when I come back from training." ”
"Training, where to go?" Lu Tao asked me with a piece of bread in his mouth.
"Go to Taiyuan. I said.
"Taiyuan, how many days will you go?" he put down his chopsticks.
"A week. When I said these two words, I saw Lu Tao's expression freeze again.
"Who cares about Yangyang when you leave?" listen, it seems that taking care of Yangyang is my business alone, and it has nothing to do with him.
"Can't you do it?" I was starting to wonder.
"I'm so busy all day, I don't know when I'm going to meet customers, can I manage it?" Lu Tao said as he stared at me with two eyes.
"If you can't manage it, just put it there with his grandmother. "I came up with an idea for him.
"My dad is not in good health this time, can my mother take care of it?"
"Then I'll take Yang Yang to training!" I said angrily.
"Take that with you?" he didn't do either.
"Then what do you want me to do? Do you want me to quit my job? Can you afford to support our mother and son after quitting my job? Why are you such a nasty thing!" I was completely angry, stood up with a swish, and roared at Lu Tao.
"Are you crazy again? Do you deliberately let the neighbors listen? Do you see whose woman in our unit is yelling like you for three days and yelling for five days?" Lu Tao pointed to the door and said to me very dissatisfied.
Indeed, I'm a little out of control again. At this time, Yang Yang, who was shocked by my roar, came over, hugged my leg and said, "Mom, don't make any noise, wow!"
Yang Yang cried, so I quickly picked him up and sat on the sofa. I regret what I did just now, and it seems that I can't quarrel in front of my children in the future, it will hurt my children a lot.
After Yangyang stopped crying, I asked him, "Mom is going to Taiyuan to study, can you be put at grandma's house these days?"
"No, Yangyang is going with his mother. Yangyang didn't agree.
"If you don't want to take children to study meetings, the director won't pay your mother's salary, and if you can't pay your salary, you won't have money, and you won't be able to buy toys and delicious things for you. "I'm coaxing Yangyang.
"No, I'm going with my mother. Yang Yang still shook his head vigorously.
At this time, Lu Tao sat down, grabbed Yangyang's arm with both hands and put it close to his face and said, "Adults can't take children in meetings, you wait at home, and when your mother comes back, you can buy a big bear toy, okay?"
"Don't want a big bear, I want a big car, remote control!" Yang Yang finally accepted the negotiation.
"We have too many cars. Lu Tao said.
"Big plane!" Yang Yang changed again.
"We also have too many planes. Lu Tao still didn't agree.
"Then buy a train! Electric!" Seems my son likes transportation, so he wants to be a driver or something.
"Okay. Lu Tao agreed, because our family doesn't have a train yet, and we need to bring one over.
I got up at six o'clock the next day, waited for Lu Tao and Yangyang to eat, and then packed my luggage for myself and prepared to leave.
"Yangyang, goodbye! Mom is leaving. "At seven o'clock, I said goodbye to Yangyang.
"What car?" Lu Tao asked me.
"Trains. I said.
"I'll drop you off, or it'll take half an hour to walk to the train station. "Lu Tao took the coat and wanted to give it to me, which surprised me and warmed my heart, but I still wasn't ready to use him to send me.
"No need, what should you do if you send me Yangyang? You can't leave him at home alone, right?" I said to Lu Tao.
"I'll be back in a moment, it's fine. Lu Tao insisted on sending it.
"No, it's dangerous to leave Yangyang alone at home. ”
When I said this, Lu Tao turned to Yangyang and said, "Yangyang, you watch TV at home first, and Dad will send your mother off, and you will be back in a while, okay?"
"Okay. Yang Yang nodded, looking indifferent.
But I didn't feel at ease and didn't agree to do this, so I said to Lu Tao: "No, it's very dangerous to have electrical appliances and gas at home." ”
"Yangyang, when Dad is gone, don't move the socket, don't play with matches, don't go to the balcony, and don't open the window, understand?" Lu Tao conducted emergency safety training for Yangyang.
"yes, I see. Yangyang's eyes looked at the TV screen, and his mouth agreed, obviously not listening to his father's words.
At this moment, the phone at home rang, and Lu Tao picked it up: "Looking for Sister Swift?" He handed me the microphone, "Look for you." ”
I walked over and picked up the phone: "Wang Xu, are you at the gate of our community? You wait a while, I will go down soon." ”
"Who?" Lu Tao asked me.
"Wang Xu of the unit, he and I both went to the training, and the bureau arranged it. I said.
Hearing me say this, Lu Tao was stunned for a moment, and then changed his tone and said to me: "No wonder you don't let me send you alive or dead, it turns out that someone came to pick you up?
"I was just about to talk to you when the call came. I explained.
"Just about to tell me, I don't think you're going to tell me at all. Lu Tao didn't believe my words.
In fact, I really didn't plan to tell Lu Tao about Wang Xu coming to pick me up, I didn't mean anything else, I just didn't prepare to say it, I always felt that it was redundant to say this, and it would cause trouble if I didn't do it, especially for people like Lu Tao who lacked self-confidence and were small-minded. But dodging makes people suspicious, and anyway, when there is a lack of trust between two people, it is not right to do anything.
"What is your attitude? Do I tell you about you when you are with Liu Jiaxiang every day?"
Lu Tao was stunned for a moment when he heard me say Liu Jia's name, and then his tone softened significantly, and said: "Liu Jia and I are colleagues, doing the same work, what is there to meet customers together? Besides, Liu Jia is your best friend, do you still doubt her?"
"I don't doubt her, I also want to tell you that Wang Xu and I are also colleagues, doing the same work, and it is normal to go out for training together, you don't have to be suspicious, besides, Wang Xu is an unmarried young man, can people take a fancy to me as an old woman?
"Alright, alright, who doubts? I'm just asking. ”
After a one-to-one fight with Lu Tao, I went downstairs and got on Wang Xu's motorcycle, and after arriving at the train station, Wang Xu stored the motorcycle in the storage area, and we boarded the train to Taiyuan together.
Occasionally go out, it feels good, you don't have to get up early to cook, the hotel restaurant has a rich buffet breakfast, and you don't have to rush to pick up the children after work, you can lie in the room and watch TV after class. One night, I also went to watch an American blockbuster with Wang Xu, that scene, that sound effect, it was really enjoyable!
I hadn't seen a movie for a long time, and after the popularization of color television, movie theater tickets couldn't sell until one day the county movie theater became a large supermarket! Once upon a time, the cinema was an important place in people's lives, young people wanted to go to the cinema to fall in love, parents also liked to accompany their children to watch movies on weekends, and schools also organized groups to watch movies from time to time, but then why no one watched movies? After coming to Taiyuan, I understood that the county cinema was too small, the audio equipment was backward, and even if a blockbuster movie could not be released, if it was replaced by a large studio with super sound and first-class specifications like Taiyuan Cinema, someone would definitely watch it.
Wang Xu likes to say that I used to communicate with him less in the unit, and after a few days of training together, I found that he was a sunny and trendy boy, with active thinking and advanced thinking, although I was not a few years older than him, but chatting with him, I felt like an aunt. Through Wang Xu's chat, I found that my usual attention is too small, except for work is a child, there is almost no hobby, and there is almost no social circle, and the friend who often comes and goes is Liu Jia, just this one friend, and now he has jumped to Lu Tao's side. But what's the solution? If you want to focus on raising a child, you have to give up a lot of things. (To be continued.) )
