After Wang Jingzhi returned home from the Civil Affairs Bureau, she and her mother kept staring at the purple book and crying, as if facing her father's ashes. Jing Zhiniang wiped her tears and comforted her daughter: "Your father is an old fool, and he forced you to leave after only half a year of marriage, how can there be such an old man?" How will you live after you leave? What to do if you have a baby? ”
Wang Jingzhi said: "In this way, he can always be quiet." She seemed to suddenly have a strong resentment towards her father, although she personally received the certificate, but her father threw away one of her beloved things.
Wang Baosen took time to go home for dinner at noon, of course, because he was worried about his daughter. He saw the book at a glance and asked, "Are you really leaving?" ”
Jing Zhi Niang said: "Are you satisfied? ”
Wang Baosen carefully looked at the seal on the certificate, then locked it up, and said, "I want to see how this kid gives the 200,000." Why are you crying? It's okay, there's nothing else this kid can do. To say that when he was first admitted to university, I was still a little envious of him for eating 'treasury grain', but I didn't expect it to change in ten years. Looking at it now, those things have long been outdated, and now if you have money, you can do it, and if you have money, you are your ancestors, and if you don't have money, you can't even have grandchildren. This poor boy, that little bit of ability will not escape from my Buddha's palm. ”
Fang Xinning, who had been wandering the street for a long time, did not go back to the dormitory, he found a small restaurant to eat something and read the newspaper. Seeing that the time was almost up, he went back to school. He arrived a little early, and there was no one in the office. He tossed the newspaper and the divorce papers tucked inside onto his desk and sat down to ponder. Seeing that there was still a little time before school time in the afternoon, he lay down on his desk and rested for a while.
When it was time to go to work in the afternoon, Cai Jie was the first to come to the office after Fang Xinning. She saw Fang Xinning lying on her stomach there, and shouted casually: "Teacher, it's so early." ”
The groggy Fang Xinning was not woken up by her. She walked up to him, took the newspaper and looked at it, and the divorce certificate sandwiched in it slipped instantly. At a glance, she saw the big letters on the cover. The shirt he had chosen for his mentor almost fell to the ground...... With an inexplicable panic, she put the book back in its place, along with the newspaper, and sat down in her seat.
Wang Jingzhi, who had been in a tense mood for a day, suddenly felt uncomfortable. Jing Zhiniang said: "You go to the hospital to check, it's still the child who matters." Wang Baosen heard his wife say this, felt that it was time to go to the steamed bun shop, got up and went out.
Wang Jingzhi packed up and hurried to the hospital. Jing Zhiniang felt weak and couldn't accompany her.
Wang Jingzhi came to the hospital alone to find Jin Yanan.
"It's been so long to check?" Jin Yanan asked.
"I can't come to my family because of something, and I suddenly feel a little uncomfortable today."
"Teacher Fang didn't come with you? I heard your brother Ren talk at home, saying that Teacher Fang is really a good person. Originally, you said that he was distracted or something. Where did you hear that? Jin Yanan told Wang Jingzhi the story about Fang Xinning seriously, and he heard it from Ren Nande.
Wang Jingzhi just listened quietly, without a trace of expression in response.
Jin Yanan said: "Don't listen to outsiders in the future, you are lucky to find a good man." ”
"It's not that I was looking for it, it was because he was forced by his family to have no choice, so he hurriedly chose me." Wang Jingzhi said.
"Then is he bad for you?"
"He cares about his classes, he cares about his colleagues, he cares about his students. Never ask me about it. ”
"This is a good teacher who is not distracted by his family." Jin Yanan wanted to help Fang Xinning get rid of it.
"Even if you're a good teacher, you're not a good husband, right? So, I left him. ”
"You're leaving? How did you...... Oops, really. It's a shame. Jin Yanan regretted, and suddenly remembered something, and took her for an examination.
After a while, the doctor said, "It's fine." Everything is normal, pay attention to maintain a good mood every day. ”
"Why did you say you left?" Jin Yanan was still asking. That Wang Jingzhi was still silent.
Liu Shu went home from work in the afternoon. Tian Sanju asked, "Is Fang Xinning really leaving?" ”
"Look at his expression. But you don't have to worry about him. He has substitutes. With such good conditions, if you want me to leave, I will leave. After Liu finished speaking, he smiled hey.
"What substitutes? Are you looking for a substitute? Tian Sanju asked.
"Ah, people do, but unfortunately I don't." Liu Shu said.
"You can't wait until you stutter," Tian Sanju said in a mocking tone, "but you have to make it clear, who is his substitute?" ”
"You don't know it, it's the female apprentice he brings now, that little girl looks like, hey, that's really the case." Liu Shu deliberately made various expressions.
"If you had this condition, would you have left a long time ago?" Tian Sanju dragged a long tone, like a strict official.
"Uh-huh." Liu Shu did not make it clear whether it was yes or no.
Tian Sanju entered the kitchen indignantly. Liu Shu had a triumphant smile on his face. He's finally got the upper hand here.
Cai Jie's mood was naturally very heavy this day. He never dared to look at Fang Xinning. She had already heard someone gossiping about her and Fang Xinning, so she had a faint sense of guilt in her heart about Fang Xinning's divorce. She sat in a small restaurant, but she didn't have the slightest appetite. Her eyes stared straight at a certain place.
Chen Xin appeared next to her again at some point and said, "Teacher Cai, what a coincidence, are you also eating here?" ”
Cai Jie came back to her senses and said politely: "That's really a coincidence, you often come here?" ”
"I don't come often, I didn't expect to meet you here today." This time, the smile on Chen Xin's face has somewhat returned to normal.
"You can't use that smile that the teacher taught you, it's too unnatural to use on your face, it's weird and scary." She really took Fang Xinning as their common teacher this time.
"I really admire his theory, but when it comes to practice, it's still a bit outrageous." Chen Xin explained.
"Teacher Chen, did you hear...... Some gossip? Cai Jie asked tentatively.
"Whose gossip?"
"For example, Mr. Fang......"
"I've listened to it, but do you know who's gossiping? It's the old man who sells steamed buns near the school. He is Fang Xinning's father-in-law. Mr. Cai, do you say that there is such a father-in-law? It's so weird. ”
"What did he say?"
"He just told those who bought steamed buns how Fang Xinning and the woman were, and he also said that he would talk to you...... There must be something wrong with the old man's spirit, and he can't listen to what he says. ”
"Oh." Cai Jie responded thoughtfully.
Fang Xinning had already returned home at this time, soaked noodles and prepared to eat. Wang Liwei called him and asked, "Are you okay?" ”
"I'm fine, I'll be clean when I leave." Fang Xinning said.
"It's really gone, why don't you persuade her?"
"Yes, she has her own troubles, and it is not just her own reasons. There's really nothing you can't do. ”
Hanging up the phone, Fang Xinning slowly ate the noodles, one by one, you swallow the worms alive. He was also thinking little by little. In fact, there are some things that are happening around you, but the annoying thing is that you can't intervene. It's like a play in progress, you're just a spectator, the actors can interact with you, and the power to change the outcome is still with the director. He was worried about Wang Jingzhi and the child in his belly, and it was precisely because of this worry that he gave up any of his ideas and let Wang Jingzhi arrange everything between them. Being poor and white cannot bring Wang Jingzhi any satisfaction materially, and in terms of spirit, the world of the two is even different. Sometimes, chatting at home, he actually has a hard time finding the same topic. Maybe as time goes by, there will be things of common interest between them - this is Fang Xinning's hope. But Fang Xinning couldn't wait for that day, and the relationship between the two had ended at this juncture.
He lay on the bed with his eyes on the sky. The stars are so far away, they can't hear them when you talk to them, right?
Time just ticked. A few sentences popped into his mind:
Midnight stars
Keep your eyes open
You're looking at me
I'm watching you too
Midnight stars
At the moment, what are you thinking
The sky is so peaceful
It's not like I'm in the mood at this time
He was really a little aggrieved in his heart, and he couldn't help but sigh bitterly: I am holy, but why should others have a cloudy vision? He often reflects on his words and deeds, and feels that he may sometimes be a little less concerned, but he longs for everything to be good, believes that human relationships are pure, and never thinks of doing such nonsense to satisfy his selfish desires. But in this world, there are people who like to think of others in a shameless direction, and there are never good people in their eyes. (To be continued......)
