Jiang Xinya pulled us to a newly opened farmhouse in the suburbs, with a large courtyard and a large vegetable field and fruit trees, all of which could be picked casually, but not taken away.

The four of them picked a remote corner in the courtyard and sat down, and I asked Jiang Xinya, "When will you change the car?" ”

"Changed for more than a week"

"No wonder I saw the Honda Accord you drove last month, that car is still new? How did you change it? ”

Hu Yali said with some regret.

"That Japanese car has been driven out twice, anyway, I want to change the car, so I just changed it"

Jiang Xinya said lightly, as if she had changed her clothes.

Li Qiutong said: "I asked you not to buy that car, but you didn't listen"

。

I smiled and said, "She just burns a lot of money, just change the car for a reason, what do you feel sorry for her!" ”

Jiang Xinya said with a smile: "You are still so right and wrong when you invite you to dinner, what do you want to eat, hurry up and order food, you are so free to ask me today, isn't there something wrong?" ”

I leaned back in the chair and stretched my body, relaxed my body and sat lazily in the chair and said, "It's nothing, it's just that I've been a little tired lately, and I'm not in a good mood, so I'll get together with you to talk and relax."

。

Li Qiutong saw me sitting there lazily and said, "Still, there is this police uniform around you, otherwise I don't know how lazy you are."

。

I smiled indifferently and said: "Liu Ling in the Seven Sages of the Bamboo Forest, ugly in appearance, 'flickering, civil and wood-shaped' is still a famous person, don't you think I am very sparse and free and easy to be under the forest?" ”

Jiang Xinya couldn't help but laugh and said, "You pull yourself up higher!" And what about the wind under the forest? That Liu Ling can drink except for loving and drinking, I haven't heard of any circulating works"

。

I smiled and said, "There is "Ode to Wine Virtue", 'the curtain is on the ground, indulgence', isn't it Mr. Li?" ”

Li Qiutong snorted and said: "You are a strong tongue, Jiang Xinya can speak and make money with one mouth!" What can you do with your sharp teeth? ”

I looked at Jiang Xinya and said, "She has to charge for talking, so do you think she is talking lightly now?" I don't charge money for talking, it's free, so I'll just talk about it."

。

Hu Yali had a thin melon seed face, and her smile was very charming, and she pursed her lips slightly at this time and smiled: "Who dares to listen to what you say, the people from the demolition and relocation office went to talk to you, I heard that what you said was bloody, and the knife was fleshy, it was very powerful!" ”

"You don't know about this, do you? Zheng Duo has called me to teach me a lesson."

"What do you think? The girl who talked to you was taken from our government office, she had seen you and me together, knew that we had a good relationship, and came to me as soon as you came back from your public security bureau and said, you are so powerful, you didn't even have a chance to talk to her, so you fell and left, and let her and Team Leader Chen sit there to wax."

Hu Yali said.

Jiang Xinya and Li Qiutong both looked at me in surprise.

I laughed and said, "Why, I surprised you, I didn't expect me to be so powerful!" ”

Jiang Xinya cupped the teacup with her fingers and said faintly: "I am very surprised that you will do this, but if you want to say that you are powerful, I don't think it is surprising, I have never figured it out, what have you been doing all these years, with your temperament, you should not live like this!" ”

"How should I live, turn the river and the sea?"

"Why not? With your talent, appearance, and character, why should you wronged yourself like this?"

"I didn't feel wronged by myself, I just chose a way of life that I approved of and lived my life according to my own wishes"

"Just for my son?"

"For my own sake, I don't want to stir myself into the whirlpool of right and wrong, I just want to live a quiet life. Besides, abiding by the rules is the maximization of freedom, isn't it? ”

I said with a sneer.

Jiang Xinya said disappreciatively: "There are many divorced women, and there is no one like you who restrain themselves to live a life."

。

"Okay, okay, don't talk about me, talk about my house!"

I digressed.

Hu Yali said: "That area is a commercial development, and it has nothing to do with our government, but there is a road to be built in the middle, and our government is responsible for demolition, and your house cannot be demolished." There is a developer who wants to develop that place, but he can't talk to the local people, and the demolition and relocation office happens to be there to demolish and build the road residents, he wants to take this opportunity to let the demolition and relocation office help, but this is not within the scope of the policy, the government means to help, if you can't help, you can't help it, and the people are not easy to mess with now, and the officials also know that Mingzhe protects himself, in my opinion, maybe that place can't be talked about, and it will be put down."

。

Jiang Xinya smiled: "It seems that your dream of making a fortune is about to be shattered!" ”

I pouted and said, "Cut, when the road in the middle is repaired, my place will be more valuable, why am I in a hurry now?" I don't wait for money! ”

"Oh, your abacus is very fine, don't you regard fame and fortune as dung?"

Jiang Xinya scoffed.

"I regard fame and ill-gotten gains as dung, do you understand, lawyer! I won't give me a penny of my money. ”

I sneered.

"Okay, okay, you two don't fight anymore, are the police and the lawyer opponents everywhere?"

Li Qiutong, who had been watching us bickering, helped his glasses and said.

"That's it, I won't tell her, the person I'm really looking for today is you, my son I really can't help it, I really need someone to guide me!"

I said to Li Qiutong.

"Rome wasn't built in a day, your son is the way he is today, and it's also because you have had problems with your education since childhood, and now you're in a hurry!"

Jiang Xinya teased.

"Where did I educate him wrong? Isn't it right for me to teach him integrity, generosity, diligence, and bravery? ”

Li Qiutong said unhurriedly: "Yes, isn't he like this now?" ”

"He is now very upright, generous, hardworking and brave, but he only scored 39 points in mathematics, and his overall score is the bottom of the class!"

Jiang Xinya and Hu Yali both laughed dumbly.

Hu Yali said: "When he was young, one of your favorite words was 'born and raised', let his nature play freely, and you can go with him now!" ”

They all burst into laughter, and even I smiled bitterly, "I'm reaping the consequences now."

。

Li Qiutong said: "It's not too late to catch it from now on, now that he has reached puberty, you are still the guide, teaching by example is more important than words, your speech and behavior should not stimulate him too much, he also has self-esteem, there is no child who can't teach well, only a mother who can't be good, remember this sentence"

I frowned and smiled bitterly and said: "Mr. Li, what I am most afraid of is your words, he did not do well, I have to blame myself with this sentence, sometimes I can't understand whether he did something wrong or I did something wrong, whether I should criticize him or myself, I am entangled to death"

Li Qiutong patted me and said: "You just open your mouth, in fact, you understand everything, you just don't do it with your heart, what's the use of being angry, when you were a child, you said 'born and raised' to save trouble, and now you lose your temper just to shirk your responsibility, educating children is a lifelong thing"

"Am I going to have to fight him for the rest of my life?"

I said with some discouragement.

"So what do you want? Want to give up? ”

"Didn't you say that teaching by example is more important than teaching? I should have been myself first, it's a little easier."

I said helplessly.

"In two years, he will be admitted to high school, and in your hands, you can take care of it, I'm going to be annoyed to death, sometimes I want to go to school for him and go to university for him!"

"Look at what you said so simply, you think you're eighteen years old, and you say these irresponsible things!"

Li Qiutong said dissatisfied.

I sneered, "If I want to do it, I can definitely do it better than him!" ”

Jiang Xinya poured Hu Yali a glass of wine and said, "You are good at drinking now, and I often hear about your reputation in the wine field, are you preparing to be promoted!" ”

I looked at Hu Yali's white and slightly charming face, and said with a smile: "I think there is still hope, although Yali is half old, but the charm is still there."

。

Hu Yali kicked me under the table: "Can you dogs spit out some ivory in their mouths?" Is there any positive energy? ”

"There is no such road in the world, there are more people who walk, this has become a road, only you are walking in these friends, no matter how you go, I wish you a smooth journey, remember to get up if you fall"

I laughed.

Jiang Xinya poured me wine and I blocked it: "I quit"

"You're the monster out there? Quit drinking? What are you quitting?"

Jiang Xinya said dissatisfiedly.

"You pour it for Li Qiutong, let her and Hu Yali drink, you see that she is wearing glasses, and the amount of alcohol is only better than Hu Yali."

。

"Did I mess with you with glasses? If you can't drink it, don't fan the fire."

Li Qiutong said angrily.

I raised my hand in a gesture of surrender, and they stopped attacking me.

I can't drink well, but I like to have a drink or two, and I want to be lively, but I can start by myself at the wine table, but I can't end by myself.

I drank too much that night and hurt my self-esteem, so I didn't plan to drink anymore, it was just my first decision.

After eating, I wanted to get together to chat and relieve my mood, but in the end I was even more depressed.

For a few days, I suddenly became very dissatisfied with myself and my life, but I haven't figured out what to do, do small things, I often rely on my own temperament, but really make decisions that I think are important, I never follow my nature, I have lived alone for more than ten years, and the consequences of all my decisions are borne by me alone, so I never rashly and never regret it.

Thirteen years ago, when I decided to divorce, I decided that I wanted to live my life quietly and never cause any trouble, so for more than ten years I lived with only a job, a son, a book, and a few old friends.

didn't want to go home to face her son, so she called Yu Xinhui, her husband Ding ** was often away from home to do business, and there were only her and her daughter at home.
