In short, Li Meng's mood began to become bright and cheerful because of Hu Shasha's little sun, and he could even occasionally be coquettish when talking to Meng Ling on the phone, Meng Ling watched her daughter develop in a good direction, and felt sincerely happy, and felt that she had finally made the right choice.

In order not to burden her daughter financially, she also began to work hard to find a job.

Although Meng Ling was born in the countryside, her great-grandfather was a famous calligrapher. Therefore, she has been practicing calligraphy with her elders since she was a child, and the children of her generation are also the most talented in Chinese painting. It's just that he later married Li Yan and felt that he should concentrate on taking care of the family, so he gave up these hobbies. Later, the marriage was unhappy, and there was no leisure to dance and write. In the past, whenever the elders mentioned this matter, they felt deep regret.

After your divorce, you have a lot of time to think about the past and think about the future. She hopes to set a good example for her children, and she hopes that her children can be proud of having an excellent mother when they mention her to others. It's been almost 20 years, for the first time, she opened the small box in the depths of the wardrobe, which contained the awards she had won in various calligraphy competitions.

She bought a lot of paper and ink, and practiced hard behind closed doors for two whole months, although it was not up to the previous level, but it was barely able to get into the eyes. She brought her work to the door to look for work, and finally got recognized at the Municipal Culture and Art Center, responsible for teaching children calligraphy and Chinese painting.

When she received the offer call, her hands were shaking. No amount of words can describe the excitement in her heart at that time, she chose to get married after graduating from college, and lived for nearly 20 years on the living expenses given by Li Yan every month. In 20 years, she forgot about self-enrichment, forgot to continue to work hard, and the burnout of her marriage also made her lose her expectations and pursuit of life. After 20 years, when she found a job through her own efforts, she suddenly felt full of infinite expectations for the future, and suddenly felt that she could decide to live a different life.

During the three months of the probationary period, the salary he received was one-third of the normal salary, and he could only bear the living expenses, which was less than the living expenses that Li Yan gave every month before. But when she received her first salary, she felt that she had never received such a piece of money so at ease and with such a sense of accomplishment. She gave half of her salary to Li Meng, although it was not much, but she just couldn't help but want to give her child pocket money, the pocket money earned by her own hands.

Li Meng didn't know that his mother still had the skill of calligraphy, after all, Meng Ling had never talked about it. Listening to her mother share the joy of work with herself, she is also proud of her mother who has regained her life. She did not refuse her mother's pocket money, and she knew that her acceptance was actually a support and encouragement for her mother. So he took Hu Shasha out for dinner that night, and took a photo and posted it on his personal homepage. Meng Ling was so happy when she saw it, she lay on the bed and grinned for a long time before slowly falling asleep, and had a good night's sleep.

The future is bright here, but Li Yan's side is gloomy. Since the divorce with Meng Ling. Li Yan returned to his life alone. At first, I comforted myself, feeling that no one was in charge of my life, and it was good that no one was cooking and ordering takeout. But within a week, he couldn't stand it anymore. There was no one to leave a light for him after work, and when he came home it was always dark and lonely. After eating takeout every day, I felt greasy after a few days, and I missed the home-cooked food Meng Ling made before. It didn't take long for the house to be like a thief, dirty and messy, his clothes were full of wrinkles and the smell of sweat, tobacco and alcohol, and he found that without Meng Ling, he wouldn't know anything. I didn't know how to use a washing machine, I couldn't use a rice cooker, I didn't even know how to boil hot water, and I thought that the electric kettle only needed to be plugged in, but it didn't move after half an hour, and finally I called someone to ask someone to know that I had to press the button on the electric kettle. During the period, Li Yan's mother went back to her hometown, and when she saw her son's disheveled clothes and sloppy beard, she didn't want to care about any secretary or the other anymore, and urged her son to get married quickly.

Li Yan had his mother's approval, and felt that his life really needed to be taken care of by others, so he immediately received a marriage certificate with Bai Xinxin. I was looking forward to a good change, but who knew that Bai Xinxin's appearance was clean and tidy, and his life was even more sloppy than Li Yan, and finally one day, Li Yan ran to the bathroom and vomited when he saw maggots surging in the kitchen trash can.

"Bai Xinxin, I'm fed up too! Why didn't I know you were so sloppy before, where is this sloppy, it's just dirty. There are maggots in the kitchen trash can, do you see it, and you don't work, can't even do housework! ”

Bai Xinxin was much calmer than Li Meng, and touched his belly, which was already bulging: "I'm pregnant now, you let me work as a pregnant woman, what if something happens?" ”

"I didn't let you climb the stairs, it's the elevator when you go out, you can die if you take two steps!"

Although Bai Xinxin's family can't say how rich they are, they have grown up in the palm of their hands since they were children, and when did the eldest lady who didn't touch the spring water with her ten fingers do housework? is pampered again, and his personality is also powerful, so he was very unhappy at the moment: "Let me tell you Li Yan, I am not the Meng Ling who lets you call and drink, I didn't let me suffer a little grievance when I beat my little family, if I wasn't ignorant, how could I have been bewitched by you in the first place." Don't think you're so great, you're almost five, and you'll be happy if you can marry me at such a young age. Don't even think about taking advantage of me and wanting me to be your nanny. I didn't do housework before, and I won't do it again. If you can't stand it, do it yourself. Don't tell me about your machismo theory, I don't eat that set Bai Xinxin! ”

I really couldn't stand the stench of the kitchen, Li Yan could only find a housekeeping company to hire an hourly worker, who knew that the hourly worker was about to leave as soon as he entered the kitchen: "I can't stand it, whoever loves to do this job will do it!" ”

In the end, it was three times the price before the hourly worker reluctantly agreed, because it was inevitable to see something that should not be seen or wanted to be seen during the cleaning process, and he couldn't help but vomit twice in the bathroom, and Bai Xinxin disliked it for being too dirty, and there was a dispute again. After all, being disgusted by such a dirty person makes the self-esteem of hourly workers deeply hurt. With professional ethics, after cleaning the room, he ran away. Since then, no one in any of the housekeeping companies in City A has been willing to take over their jobs.

Li Yan felt that for the first time in so many years, he felt tired, extremely tired.
