When Wang Xueli returned home, it was almost midnight, and as usual, he was full of alcohol, but the difference was that he didn't need to tiptoe through the door anymore, and no one urged him to take a shower before going to bed. He threw his shoes at the door, threw his down coat on the sofa at will, threw his sweater, underwear, pants, and socks all on the floor of the bedroom, and burrowed naked into the bed, followed by a high and low snoring.

Wang Xueli has two elder brothers, Wang Xueren and Wang Xueyi, his grandfather is an old private school teacher, he remembers that when he was a child, his grandfather taught his brother three to recite ancient poems, and he needed to shake his head. The old gentleman originally planned to let his grandchildren "benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and faith" make up a group, but when his mother was born to the fourth and fifth children, she changed her course and became a girl. Mother is the master, named them Wang Xuehong and Wang Xuemei, mother loves to listen to the song "Red Plum Praise", thinking that the sixth child will be called Wang Xuezan regardless of whether it is a man or a woman, and he will be born to the fifth, but he can no longer conceive. As a result, the "Five Constants" were stuck in Xueli, and "Red Plum Praise" was broken to Xuemei, and my grandfather and mother felt that it was not very satisfying. Later, after experiencing that special era, Mr. Lao Private School secretly congratulated himself that his three grandsons did not become the spokesperson of Confucius and Mencius.

When he was young, Wang Xueli was thin and tall, with a yellow and white face, a pair of glasses, and he was not ugly, handsome or annoying.

Wang Xueli's wife Zhuang Yuemei is the daughter of the former director of the boiler factory*, the former propaganda minister of the boiler factory, and the later fourth brother Xu Jiming. In fact, Xu Jiming just did a favor, it was the factory director * who first fell in love with Wang Xueli, a newspaper reporter who came to the factory for an interview, and it was not easy to say it in person, so he entrusted Xu Jiming to be a matchmaker. Zhuang Yuemei was the secretary of the Youth League Committee of the boiler factory at that time, and she was white, fat, tall, and big, not the small and delicate dream lover type in Wang Xueli's heart. Moreover, this Zhuang Yuemei is three years older than himself, and of course he doesn't believe the nonsense of "female junior holding gold bricks". Wang Xueli finally agreed to marry Zhuang Yuemei because she had a father who was a factory director, and the factory director's father could provide them with a single-room house, which was too tempting in those days.

After Wang Xueren and Wang Xueyi got married, the three small bungalows of the Wang family were no longer enough to live, the two younger sisters and their parents squeezed into a room, and hung a curtain on the upper and lower beds, while the brothers divided the other room into two with plywood, and went inside and outside the house, sleeping on a kang, just a thin layer of board in the middle, and even holding a fart at night, I don't know how the two little nephews got pregnant. As a result, Wang Xueli had no place to live, and after graduating from the University of Electrical Engineering, he had to live in the collective dormitory of the newspaper office. As soon as she gets married to Zhuang Yuemei, she can live in a single-family building, which is of course a great thing.

After getting married, Wang Xueli found out that his wife Zhuang Yuemei was still one year old, but she was actually four years older than herself. Fortunately, the two got married in the spring and gave birth to a fat son Wang Shuo in the winter.

Later, the boiler factory was restructured, and due to insolvency, the government adopted the method of "zero word sale" to package and sell the enterprise to individuals. Originally, the old factory director* was the most qualified to buy the company, but he chose to retire early with a three-level salary increase. As a result, after the company was sold to others, it stopped production within a few years, the factory was demolished, the land was sold to a real estate developer, and the business owner rolled up the money to find another way to make money, and Zhuang Yuemei was also laid off. According to the factory director's daughter, what he got was a laid-off female worker who needed him to support, Wang Xueli screamed in his heart. finally looked forward to Zhuang Yuemei being fifty years old and went through the retirement procedures, but within a few years, the person suddenly disappeared.

Wang Xueli's family and outsiders all call Zhuang Yuemei "wife", not by name, let alone "Mrs.", "Mrs.", "darling" These foreign titles, he feels that his wife's title is the best match with Zhuang Yuemei.

During the day, thinking of the days he had walked with his wife over the years, Wang Xueli gave Zhuang Yuemei two sentences in his heart: born confused, died in a nest.

A retired woman, in this cold weather, should have stayed in the warm home to watch TV, wash clothes, and cook, but she couldn't be idle for a moment, getting up early in the morning to go to the morning market to queue up to buy cheap dishes that two people can't eat for a week, and then go to the park to dance square dance, and even bring snow removal tools on heavy snowy days, clear the venue first and then dance. Her body and dancing posture, Wang Xueli really didn't dare to compliment it, but Zhuang Yuemei hummed a little song every day and twisted her old waist and was tired of it, until she jumped into that world, causing Wang Xueli to become a widower over half a hundred years old, and she had to reconsider the issue of courting a wife.

If this matter had been placed ten years ago, Wang Xueli would not have felt distressed. At that time, his lover, kindergarten teacher Li Yutian had just divorced, and said that he would wait for Wang Xueli until he was willing to marry her, and even committed suicide by cutting his wrists after a drunkenness.

Since then, Li Yutian has completely lost his heart, and soon married a big boss in the provincial capital, and now he lives in a villa, and spends his days in the circle of friends in the mansion, food, pictures of domestic and foreign travel, and a happy life with the old man.

Li Yutian has a gentle temperament and a lovely appearance, Wang Xueli loves it from the bottom of his heart, but he abides by the principles of life set by his eldest brother Yan Qingshan: no matter how the red willows and green warblers sing and dance outside, the original wife of the family must not give up, and his own children must not be left behind. In other words, it is "the colorful flags fluttering outside and the red flags at home do not fall".

If Zhuang Yuemei had come out with this ten years earlier, the situation would have been very different, and Wang Xueli would have been able to marry Li Yutian in the name of the beginning. Now, when his wife has become an indispensable part of his life, she leaves suddenly without any warning.
