A few houses on the east end of the office building of the General Affairs Department were vacated and became office space for the construction of affordable housing for retired cadres. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Tan Sen had dinner in the military canteen of the agency, and was about to go to the preparatory office to put some things in order again, when he received a call from his wife Yin Ling.

"I've got off the plane, I'll be home in about an hour, you buy me some dinner from the cafeteria and prepare."

"Didn't you say you would come back the day after tomorrow?"

"The meeting is over, and a tour will be organized tomorrow, and I don't want to play anymore."

Tamson went to the life service center and bought two bags of milk and a loaf of bread.

Back at home, Tamson was sullen and sat alone on the sofa in the living room and fell into deep thought.

Yin Ling often came and went without a trace, traveling around the country on a plane as if she were traveling around the world. When she was not at home, Tamsyn had a feeling of "turning over the serfs and emancipating them"; As soon as she returned, Tamson would have another feeling: "The good days are over." ”

When Tan Sen was young, he was a well-known "old scalper" in the General Affairs Department, and the certificate of meritorious service was almost bursting through the file bag. While working as an off-campus tutor at a secondary school near his station, he attracted the attention of Yin Ling, a Chinese teacher who graduated from the Chinese Department of the Normal University. Yin Ling likes Tamson Tamson's calm appearance, persistent work spirit, and his quiet and humorous personality.

In a dormitory in the tube building of the family courtyard of the General Department, on two single beds side by side, several bedding of lonely men and widows were put together, and Tan Sen and Yin Ling became husband and wife. "I bought it for one hundred and eighty dollars." Yin Ling once joked to others more than once. One hundred and eighty yuan is all the cost of buying candy and daily necessities when Wang Quan and her got married.

Soon after Tan Sen and Yin Ling got married, Yin Ling became pregnant. Due to the strong pregnancy reaction, Yin Ling had to take a long leave to rest at home.

Yin Ling's belly is bulging day by day, Tan Sen's wallet is deflating day by day, and after her daughter Tan Xiaohong was born, the money for milk powder has become a problem. Although the life of a family of three is poor and plain, the small room of more than ten square meters is often full of laughter, especially the young couples who live with anticipation, seeing their daughter who grows up day by day, cabbage and radish can eat the taste of meat, this period of life makes Yin Ling understand that there are sweeter things in the world than honey.

Although Yin Ling was born in the city and grew up in the city, the original living conditions of the family were not good, her mother gave birth to a total of six sisters, and the two bungalows in a small courtyard seemed to have become the girls' production workshop. The combined salary of the two parents is less than 200 yuan, and the dilemma of having to support eight people at once can be imagined. Because they are also people who are used to suffering, after Yin Ling and Tan Sen got married, they were able to live an ordinary life without falling in love with the wind and flowers, spending firewood, rice, oil and salt together, and living an ordinary life in ordinary years with an ordinary mentality.

When Tan Xiaohong went to kindergarten, Yin Ling ignored Tan Sen's advice, and suddenly went to a literary magazine as an editor, and then the literary magazine was sluggish, most of the readers were robbed by the TV station, the circulation was getting smaller and smaller, the income could not cover the expenses, and the income could not make ends meet, and she couldn't live her life, so she jumped to a life magazine as an editor, and the benefits of life magazines were very good, and Yin Ling was also promoted to editorial director and deputy editor-in-chief. Tamsyn, on the other hand, is not as "young and promising, with a bright future." "The butt seems to have been soldered in the position of "staff officer", and it has not moved for many years.

"The spit of those who exaggerate and talk exaggeratedly is drowning the bodies of those who work hard and work hard, and those who are good at traveling survive and those who are easy to choke perish, this is the fate of honest people."

Tan Sen felt that Yin Ling's words were a great injury to his self-esteem, and he looked at his wife, who had been living with him for longer and longer, and his tone was becoming more and more unfamiliar, and he retorted: "Most of the honest people live a more miserable life, and many of the dishonest people die more miserably. Honest people can often find happiness in suffering, and dishonest people often enjoy happiness and sorrow. ”

Tensen used to know that there is a saying that "the economic base determines the superstructure", but now he knows that there is a phenomenon called "economic income determines the status of the family". After Yin Ling became a leader in Life Magazine, her income was several times that of herself, and she always put on a condescending posture at home, and her arrogant attitude was unacceptable. This-for-tat dispute between him and Yin Ling is happening more and more at home, and the daughter is always on her father's side at this time.

Thinking of his daughter, Tamson felt a sweet spring gush out of his miserable heart.

When Tan Sen's daughter Tan Xiaohong was in junior high school, she was in the same class as Wang Quan's son Wang Nianjun, and both children were the first in the class, Tan Xiaohong was the first in the positive number, and Wang Nianjun was the first in the penultimate number. Later, Tan Xiaohong was admitted to the city's key high school, and Wang Nianjun was assigned to an ordinary high school located near the compound of the military office. Later, Tan Xiaohong was admitted to a key university, and Wang Nianjun went to a private junior college.

"What scientific formula do you and your wife use to produce such high-quality children?" Wang Quan once joked with Tamson and asked him.

Tamson smirked wryly and said: "Studies have shown that the farther away a couple is from their place of birth, the smarter the child they will have. My wife and I are thousands of miles apart, so the children born have good academic performance, and you and your wife grew up in the same village, which belongs to 'close marriage', so the children born have poor academic performance. ”

Wang Quan said matter-of-factly: "There seems to be some truth in your words, and I understand why some girls always want to find foreigners as husbands." ”

"Yes, it's also a punishment for those who nibble on the grass rabbits on the edge of the nest."

"According to what you say, the love and union of young men and women in a village is 'marriage between close relatives', then, a man surnamed Tan marries a woman surnamed Yin, that is to say, people with different surnames are combined, and the children raised are 'mixed-race children'."

"You can't deduce that the last name of the parent has nothing to do with the IQ of the child." Tamsyn said.

"Besides, your concept of 'rabbits don't eat grass by the nest' should also be changed, haven't you heard some people say now, 'Since there is grass by the nest, why not look elsewhere.'" Rabbits are most familiar with the grass around the nest and know what to eat and what not to eat. Like my wife's 'grass', it is native, natural, no pesticides, no chemical fertilizers, and it is a green food. The two of us have been peeing and mud together since we wore open crotch pants, playing 'playing house', such a marriage foundation is the strongest, watching the sunrise together when we are young, watching the sunset together when we are old, and never abandoning each other. Let's tell you this, suppose one day I am penniless and pull a stick to ask for food, and she will follow closely behind with a begging basket, and leave it to me, and drink it herself. In our family, the two "positions" of 'wife' and 'husband' can be said to be 'lifelong', and no one else will participate in the combination. ”

At this time, Tan Sen thought of what Wang Quan had said, and felt a little respect for him and Wang Yueying, a poor couple.
