A Home for Veterans Chapter 20 Frustration

"In the past, you used to cook for me, but today you have to cook by yourself; I used to come back with a smile and tell me why I was happy, but today I only smiled and didn't speak. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info Surely there is something you are hiding from me? Tamson untied his apron from his body and handed it to his daughter.

"Dad is subjectivist again, I never hide anything from you." Xiaohong blushed and defended.

"Your eyes tell me that you are not speaking from your heart. Well, my daughter is older and has the right to protect her privacy, I don't want to ask more, you should pay attention not to let the oil splash on your clothes when stir-frying, and you must be careful not to let the oil burn your skin. ”

"Got it, you sit on the sofa and rest for a while, and I'll finish the meal in a while, please taste it with your mother."

Yin Ling came back from work, and her round face was stretched into a rectangle. Seeing that her expression was wrong, Tan Sen threw away the newspaper in his hand, got up from the sofa, took Yin Ling's windbreaker, and asked her with concern, "Are you uncomfortable somewhere?" ”

"It's not!"

Yin Ling threw two words to Tan Sen and went into the bathroom.

Xiaohong saw that her mother was coming home, so she hurriedly brought the two dishes she fried to the table, set the dishes and chopsticks, and felt a sense of accomplishment.

When Tan Sen saw Yin Ling coming out of the bathroom, he sat down at the dining table first, pointed to the food and introduced it to his wife: "Today is my daughter's cooking in the kitchen, and the two of us are enjoying it." ”

Yin Ling's face was expressionless, and she also sat down at the dining table, and said coldly to Xiaohong: "I have no appetite today, go get some wine." ”

Xiaohong didn't get the expected compliment, so she took out a can of beer from the kitchen and put it in front of Yin Ling.

"I want to drink liquor!" Yin Ling shouted at her daughter with a little annoyance.

Seeing her abnormal expression, Tamson asked in surprise, "Don't you hate drinking liquor very much now?" ”

"I'm not happy today, I want to drink a little!" Yin Ling lowered her head and whispered.

"Okay, I'll drink with you!"

Tan Sen said to Yin Ling, and then instructed his daughter who was standing by with a pouting mouth: "Go, bring two wine glasses, if you don't drink, you can open a can of Coca-Cola, and my mother and I will drink liquor." ”

Yin Ling didn't eat, and drank two glasses of white wine in a row, and after a while, the flush on her face began to flood. Tamsyn snatched the cup from her hand, and she hid her face with her hands and sobbed.

Xiaohong put some vegetables in the rice bowl, picked up Coca-Cola, and went back to her room with interest.

Tamson handed a pack of napkins to Yin Ling and watched her cry quietly.

Yin Ling is a stubborn and competitive woman, usually the tears in her eyes are more precious than the pearls in the necklace around her neck, but today she cried, and she cried uncreatively, vulgar and unbearable, along the fingers, snot and tears flowed together, and the soup flowed together.

A person who has so many emotional secretions overflowing will make others feel that the dry city she is in does not seem to be short of water.

Waiting for Yin Ling to cry enough, Tan Sen whispered to her: "I can see that you have something on your mind these days, it doesn't matter, as long as you calm down and deal with everything, everything will pass." ”

Yin Ling's mood slowly stabilized, and she said sadly: "Now I know that among all the living and thinking animals in the world, humans are the most cruel. Tigers and wolves are fierce and sometimes kill each other, but they are more likely to unite to destroy alien flesh. Some people are not like this, who not only want to destroy the flesh of their own kind, but also torture the souls of their own kind. When the tiger wolf hurts the other party, the fierce appearance is revealed, and it is clear at a glance. When people hurt their own kind, they will also cover themselves up with a sanctimonious appearance, pretending to be Sven, so that you can't guard against it. ”

Tan Sen listened quietly, waiting for Yin Ling to explain what he said.

"The advertisements undertaken by our magazine are all centralized by the advertising department, and after they arrange the advertising pages, they generally report to me for preliminary review, and then submit them to the editor-in-chief for final review after my initial review. A recent advertisement in this issue of the magazine hurt many readers because it promoted a shoddy product, and some readers banded together to take us to court. I once called the editor-in-chief in the field to report the content of this advertisement, and he said that he had no opinion. After he saw that there was a problem with the advertisement and that he was going to suffer a lawsuit, he denied what he had said. Since there was no call record at that time, and there was no evidence to check it, he pushed the responsibility cleanly, and asked me in public why I didn't ask for instructions or report some things. ”

Tamson nodded and said: "There are all kinds of people in the world, or some people say that there are fewer and fewer types of animals on the earth now, and there are more and more types of people." Some people, including some leaders, can make the masses move to tears when they speak on the stage, and doing things off the stage can make the masses so angry that their hearts drip blood. ”

"Some leaders lack morality, and some masses also hurt people. In front of the leaders, they nodded their heads for fear that the frequency was not high, and they were afraid that the decibel was not enough. But when you turn your back, they will take advantage of the danger and fall into the ground. Some people in the editorial department knew that I had become a defendant, and they celebrated and gloated, but they didn't have a celebration meeting, and they were jealous of others being leaders. ”

"I don't completely agree with your statement, the relationship between the cadres and the masses in some units is tense, and sometimes the problem lies on the side of the masses, but the main contradiction and most of the time the problem lies on the side of the cadres, or the two are cause and effect of each other."

"We are in a different position, and of course our position is different."

"You shouldn't look at things this way, I've heard your drivers say that the people in the editorial department of your magazine have opinions not only about you, but also about the leaders of the editorial department, including you, and they think that the sharing of advertising revenue is unfair."

Yin Ling was silent for a while, and said sadly: "Don't mention the past again, when this matter is dealt with, I want to transfer out of the magazine." ”

"Now you choose to escape from reality in front of the whirlpool, and you will be helpless when you encounter the rapids in the future, I think you should learn the lesson now, to use the old saying, where you fall, you get up."

"I don't like your words, you mean to keep me from leaving the magazine."

"No, I didn't want you to do it in this magazine for a long time, I mean you deal with this problem first, and then think about whether to leave or not."

"Easier said than done, people my age, if they want to go, where else can they go!" Yin Ling said worriedly.

"Come home, Xiaohong and I need you."

"You want me to be a housewife?" Yin Ling said in surprise, "I still have to make money to buy a car and a villa!" ”

"The two of us have always had different views on this issue, the car is a modern means of transportation, but I sometimes see it as a disenfranchisement of people's legs. I have never longed for the villa you talk about, I will not put aside the affordable housing I should live in to live in the villa, although the area of affordable housing is smaller, the facilities are poorer, but, go upstairs to say hello to Lao Wang Lao Li, go downstairs and say hello to Lao Zhang Lao Zhao, such emotions and fun, can not be enjoyed in the villa. ”

"I know that you have been undemanding all your life and have to get by."

"There are two kinds of happiness in life, one is to have something, the other is to ask for nothing, what you have is temporary happiness, and what you want is lifelong happiness; There are also two kinds of suffering in life, one is to get what you want but can't get, and the other is to get everything you want. Therefore, a person should not deliberately pursue anything at any cost in life, but should go with the flow and stop in moderation. ”

"You should go to school and teach philosophy." A sneer hung on the corner of Yin Ling's mouth.

"Don't forget, I was originally a graduate of the correspondence college course in philosophy at the Normal University, but the main purpose of my studies at that time was only to get a college degree, and I was not really interested in philosophy." Tan Sen smiled indifferently at Yin Ling's sarcasm and said, "I still can't help but remind you again that many people have extravagant wealth, and when they have enough wealth, they realize that family affection is more valuable than wealth." You haven't taken much care of Xiaohong in recent years, she is a little estranged from you ideologically, and a little estranged from you emotionally, these are normal. I found that she seems to be in love now, and she needs our care and guidance in life, and there are some things that I am inconvenient to talk about as a father, and I hope you will communicate more with her and communicate more. ”

Yin Ling's always arrogant head nodded lightly twice this time.

"The food is cold, I'll go and heat it up again." Tan Sen said, stood up, and shouted towards Xiaohong's room, "Xiaohong, I'll heat up the food again, and you can come over and eat some more later." ”

Xiaohong took the empty rice bowl, took the empty Coca-Cola can, walked out of her room, and said stupidly: "You guys eat, I'm full, alas, this meal is only delicious, not happy!" ”
