For my sake, my mom forgave my dad once again, and I am indeed grateful to her for this, and it also offsets the shadow on my soul because of her fornication with that section chief Feng. Perhaps this is the nature of a good woman: she can sacrifice everything for the sake of her children.

But my mother forgave my father this time with conditions: first, he was not allowed to have an improper relationship with any woman in the future, and he would divorce decisively next time he committed it; Second, return the 20,000 yuan defrauded from Bao Dandan to others, (of course, the money must be returned to her by mail, and she must not return to her hometown.) In the future, cut off all contact with her, and if there is any more contact, divorce decisively; Third, in the future, we must live a down-to-earth life, and we are not allowed to mention business matters again, and find a job to work safely and steadily to earn wages.

My father had no choice but to agree to these three conditions, but the second one he was a little embarrassed: because the 20,000 yuan he defrauded from Bao Dandan had long been gone≡ since he came back from his hometown, some creditors came to the door again, blocking the door to ask for accounts, my father in desperation, he gave the 20,000 yuan like a plaster to these creditors, more if he owed, less if he owed, and the rest of the debt promised to be paid slowly after work. Those creditors were helpless, they had no money and couldn't die, so they could get some of it, so they temporarily tolerated my father. In fact, Bao Dandan's 20,000 yuan can be regarded as a relief for my father's urgent need, at least he can be stable for a period of time and no longer pay creditors.

In this case, my father had no money to pay back Bao Dandan, so my mother also modified the second article with a delay: Bao Dandan must be repaid within three months, and it can also be solved from his salary after he finds a job.

Soon after, my father found a job as a salesman in a feed company, and he could earn a salary of more than 3,000 yuan a month. But my mother's deadline for repaying Bao Dandan's 20,000 yuan was approaching, and my father still couldn't scrape together enough money. Later, my mother found a way to help him scrape together enough 20,000 yuan.

My father sent 20,000 yuan to Bao Dandan through the post office. And behind my mother's back, I secretly attached a letter to Bao Dandan. The general meaning of the letter was: "Because the child does not agree to divorce me and Liu Hongxia, for the sake of the child, I can only not divorce for the time being, but I still have to leave when the child is older, but this is indefinite, maybe three or five years, maybe ten years or eight years." If you are patient to wait, just wait, if you don't have the patience to wait, you can remarry yourself! In fact, this letter has tactfully put an end to the entanglement that should not have happened.

No one knows what kind of expression and mood Bao Dandan will have after reading this letter. No one can fathom how much my dad hurt this woman a second time. But one thing is gratifying: the 20,000 yuan was returned to her, so that she dispelled my father's suspicion that he approached her to cheat money, and let her realize that my father did not divorce for the sake of the child, so that she would not be very sad, although the actual damage is still very serious, but at least she can accept this fact. This alleviates the harm to Bao Dandan, and it is also the result of my mother's virtuous deeds.

But in the dark, my father's relationship with that Bao Dandan did not end because of this. But that's an afterword.

Over the next two years, our family's life was relatively quiet. Instead of whimsical business, my dad started working on the ground to earn money. During these two years, my mom's relationship with my dad has eased somewhat. The main reason is that my second aunt married Wang Blind, and my father completely died of that flower, and began to have some painful actions to change his past.

But this peaceful life only lasted for more than two years, and my mother's tragedy began to creep in, of course, it was related to my father and my second aunt Liu Hongcai......

In 2000, the new century began. I was ten years old.

A lot of things happened in my family this year, and my life that had been relatively peaceful for two years was shattered again.

First of all, my father's feed company went bankrupt, and my father lost his job and became a vagrant. It's a bit scary that my dad's desire to do business is a little bit uplifted, and he's looking for some "business opportunity" all day long. This made my mom start to worry again.

That summer, my mom was suddenly laid off as well. It is said that it is sudden, but it is actually caused by the general climate: many enterprises in Bawu City have closed down, many enterprises have been restructured, and laid-off and unemployed people can be seen everywhere. My mother's garment factory was bought by a company in the provincial capital. Once a son of heaven and a courtier, the factory was routinely going to change blood and lay off employees, and it was reasonable for employees like my mother to be laid off. Although in such a climate, laid-off and unemployed are commonplace, my mother still bears it in her heart; In fact, it is not only a problem of psychological imbalance, but also the fact that family life is in an economic crisis. Two years ago, my father and my second aunt had not completely repaid the money they had paid for the hotel, and now they have both been laid off, and the already stretched family economy is almost worse.

My mother's mood was like the rainy weather of that summer, and the clouds were overcast all day. But my mom certainly can't sit still, she's looking for a job everywhere.

Near noon that day, she was waiting for a bus on the side of the street when someone tapped her on the shoulder from behind. She looked back and was immediately shocked: Feng Yongtian, who had not seen her for two years, was standing behind her, smiling at her affectionately.

Liu Hongxia's heart was surging suddenly, those scenes from two years ago were vivid in her mind, and some of the feelings that had been depressed in her body for a long time were faintly flooded again, she looked at it in a daze for a long time, and then asked in a trembling voice: "Yongtian, when did you come back?" ”

Feng Yongtian put one hand in his pants pocket, the other hand was still on her shoulder, looked at her intently, and said, "I've been back for a few days, and I'm thinking about how to see you, but I didn't expect to meet you today, do you think it's fate?" ”

Liu Hongxia moved her steps to the side, naturally detached from the hand he was holding on her shoulder, and smiled charmingly: "What kind of fate is this?" Bawu City is so small, as long as you come back, sooner or later you will have to meet it! ”

Feng Yongtian looked at her with burning eyes and asked, "Hongxia, you haven't seen each other in the past two years, have you forgotten me completely?" It looks like a strange look at you! ”

"How could it be...... Forget it! I was surprised......" Liu Hongxia was a little shy and cramped, because she inevitably remembered the two unforgettable nights she spent with this man two years ago, but she tried to control herself not to think about it, she should forget about it. She immediately changed the subject and said, "Time flies so fast, two years have passed unconsciously in the blink of an eye!" ”

"Why didn't I think it was so fast before I knew it? I think it's going too slowly...... The night we separated always appeared in front of my eyes..."Feng Yongtian's eyes were infinitely sentimental and aftertaste, he should also be reminiscing about something, right?

In order to avoid such a sensitive and embarrassing topic, Liu Hongxia asked, "Are you coming back from this study...... How? Is the establishment of the garment factory still kept for you? She really wanted to know Feng Yongtian's situation in the garment factory, to see if she was the only one who was laid off.

Feng Yongtian smiled bitterly: "Actually, since the day I left, it means that the position has ended. If it weren't for the restructuring, it might have been an ordinary worker, and now, like you, has also been laid off and has nothing to do with the garment factory! ”

"Oh, that's right!" She didn't seem surprised by this, what surprised her was ....... She looked at him sideways, "How do you know I'm laid off?" ”

"What's so strange about this? The first thing I did when I came back was to know all about you, and when I went to the garment factory, of course I knew that you were laid off! Before he could reply, he said, "Hongxia, why should we stand here and talk, it's noon, let's find a tavern to eat and talk, okay?" Although he was asking for her opinion, he took her arm and walked away without saying anything.

Liu Hongxia hesitated for a while, but still followed him to a tavern not far away.

The two of them chatted while eating. Of course, Feng Yongtian was anxious to ask about Liu Hongxia's situation in the past two years, and more importantly, to ask what happened to her relationship with Yao Suixin?

Liu Hongxia told him that Yao Suixin opened the hotel and closed it less than a year ago, owed a fart~ stock debt, and his family life was very poor. But when it comes to the relationship between her and Yao Suixin, she deliberately avoided this, and only said lightly: "Even if it's like that, it's okay to be plain, when people are middle-aged, peace is a blessing!" ”

Feng Yongtian smiled faintly, and still asked, "After our matter is revealed, Yao Suixin won't treat you so calmly, right?" Is he still using this to make things difficult for you? I know that person's nature, he won't forgive you so easily......" Feng Yongtian carefully observed her demeanor.

Liu Hongxia's heart was rippling, she lowered her eyes, and said: "It doesn't matter if you forgive or not, anyway, life has to go on." Besides, even if he is like that, it is a reasonable thing, who makes me feel sorry for him! Whatever you say, I'm a betrayal of him! ”

"That's the one he betrayed first! He had an affair with your sister first, and he was the one who pushed you to this point regardless of your life or death! Feng Yongtian seemed to be excusing their fornication, which was also practical.

"Yongtian, don't talk about that, until now, I haven't really found out about him and my second sister, so I can't assume that it's the truth!" Liu Hongxia said so innocently, especially now that she is even more vague about that.

Feng Yongtian looked surprised. "Ah, you still don't believe it's true? Have you not discovered their adultery in these two years? You're stupid, aren't you? ”

Of course, Liu Hongxia is not without feelings, but there is no evidence if she is not caught on the spot, not to mention that everything has already passed. She at least decided that after Liu Hongcai married Wang Blind, Yao Suixin would indeed not have that with Liu Hongcai. The things of the past, true or false, are in the past. She said very blandly: "Of course I'm stupid, but it's not a bad thing to be stupid like this, at least I have peace of mind." Besides, now that my second sister got married two years ago, Yao Suixin has lived a good life in the past two years, and rarely mentions the matter of you and me again, so I am content. ”
