"Do you two like boys or girls?"

"I like male dolls – be honest!"

"Actually, the girl is also good!"

More than 20 years ago, when Xingbang's wife Wu Feiyan was pregnant for eight months, Xingbang took Yanzi to the county hospital for a check-up. When the doctor asked them this question, Xingbang didn't have time to answer, Yanzi blurted out, and then the female doctor glared: "Actually, the girl is also good", and nodded frequently.

This conversation, Ma Xingbang thought and thought, pondered and pondered in his mind.

The year before last in Dongguan, an employee in his factory was also pregnant, and when he was chatting, he suddenly realized that the doctor was actually hinting at the gender of their child. Because the doctor already knew, but he couldn't come out. Xingbang was excited about this for a long, long time, and also sad for a long, long time.

What is the significance of belated enlightenment? It's just tears.

In fact, when the doctor asked them whether they liked male or female dolls, his own answer was - female dolls.

If it was really a girl, what would it look like now, how many nights, Xingbang was so excited that he couldn't imagine it. In the next half of his life, whenever he saw the well-behaved and lovely child, he remembered his baby, especially when he saw the rippling waves, he couldn't help but touch the scene. In order not to let sadness take advantage of the opportunity, every time he comes back to his sister-in-law Gui Ying's house, he always keeps a certain distance from the second child, but he is very close to the eldest boy. The moment Yang Yang washed the old man's feet last night, his scar was once again removed.

If!

Assuming that if everything went well and his daughter was born, then he and Yanzi would not have divorced, then his fate would have been a different situation. provide for her daughter, train her to be a college student or even a graduate student, and then save a dowry for her, send her to marry beautifully, and watch her have children; Taking care of his wife and planning for the future and future of his two of them - this should be his ultimate goal. If this were the case, then Ma Xingbang would not have left the province at all, built a new house in the village or bought a unit in the city, and then devoted himself to running his own home and raising his own doll......

There are no assumptions in life. Fate has no ifs.

The past is unbearable, and he has already heard that Yanzi is the mother of two male dolls. The old and worried Ma Xingbang looked at the place where he was spliced with the building, broke his tears and extinguished the smoke.

In the east-west wind above the 33rd floor, Ma Xingbang lit three neighbors, the cigarette butt was facing the ground, and the green smoke was curling, as if he was sacrificing.

The long wind is unhindered, and the sunset is merciless. It's seven o'clock in the evening, the persimmon red sun goes down, the brilliant sunset suddenly dims on Thursday, the voices of people who get off work overflow on the earth like a tide, and the rows of red lights at the end of the street illuminate the dome crimson shy. The old horse sat on the lime platform, as if sitting on the stump at the south entrance of Majiatun Village, Erlang's legs were raised high, he held a hookah in both hands, his mouth was purring, and he heard the sound of the baby's iron ring humming.

Only this moment, harmony and beauty.

When it was dark, the three of them reluctantly returned home.

At nine o'clock in the evening of October 5th, Master Li finally arrived in Nanning, Guangxi, where he found a hotel where the four of them stayed for one night. As usual, the three sisters Mi, Zhuo Fan and Xiaotang squeezed into one room, pushing one or two beds together to form a super big bed. Bai chatted in the car for a while, and then went to bed after midnight at night. Early in the morning of the 6th, the four people who had rested for the night saved up some energy, and Master Li drove to continue to Guangzhou.

Although the three girls have planted a big heel fight in love, who wants to gain a romance and perfection in friendship. From the evening of October 3 to October 6, when they first met at the gate of the hot spring, in a short period of time, the three of them have soaked in the hot spring once, met the policeman twice, stayed as roommates for three nights, had five or seven meals, and been passengers in the same car for more than a dozen hours...... By this time, the three of them had already become friends in distress who talked about everything.

Bao Xiaotang is not obscure, and even told about the relationship between himself and Li Zhiquan and the unbearable experience of unexpectedly getting pregnant and having an abortion. Even if she has good sisters like her sister and Gui Ying, not she can tell the truth about everything and talk openly about any feelings. But in front of Mi and Zhuo Fan, she has nothing to wrap and no need to wrap.

Confiding - confiding so unreservedly with someone who has only known three is not because she is too stupid, but because she is too tired and bitter to hide a lot of things in her heart, and telling it is more like a confession or redemption - confessing to herself, getting her own understanding, and then redeeming herself.

"So, Sister Fan, you are thirty-six and you are not in love yet, could it be because of ...... You are likely to ...... Like...... That one...... Schoolgirl? At ten o'clock in the morning, the three people who had taken a break after breakfast began to talk again, and Momi's mouth frightened the three of them, and even the driver, Master Li, looked at Zhang Zhuofan from the rearview mirror.

"Nope! No, no, no! I'm a straight daughter, a straight straight girl, really. After Zhang Zhuofan clarified his orientation with his teeth and claws, he stroked his hair and said solemnly: "To be honest, I also doubted myself!" But when I was a freshman, I had a crush on a boy in my class, and it never got out of hand. ”

"Crush is the hardest." Bao Xiaotang, who spoke most of the lectures yesterday, felt a lot of shortness of breath today, and he still couldn't help but talk at the moment.

"So, if you can be liked by Sister Fan, that boy must be very good!" Momi fluttered her eyelashes and guessed.

"Excellent indeed. We were in the same class for four years of college, and he and I have been serving as leaders in our age and class. He is very steady, a little exquisite, but not scheming. He is very self-motivated, has won several scholarships, and is versatile, can play the piano, can host, can debate, can play basketball, and has a super good personal relationship, and the college has a very high evaluation of him. In the senior college, he was sent to graduate school, but people looked down on him, and he was admitted to a better university. Why, he is enthusiastic, smiles sweetly, and speaks and behaves in a measured manner...... Heck, there are many, many advantages anyway, and every pore is a plus. The key family is not bad-looking, with a height of 1.85 meters, can dress up, is generous and thrifty, and has a very good family background...... Oops, oops, there's no need to talk about it, it's anyway - perfect! Zhuo Fan shook his hands excitedly, not as majestic and cold as he first saw it.

"Then he's so good that he doesn't have a girlfriend?" Mi wondered.

"Yes! After graduating from high school. He is from Shandong, and his girlfriend is in college in Tokyo, Japan, and the two are in a foreign relationship and are very romantic. Moreover, in engineering colleges like ours, there are few girls and poor looks, and crooked melons and cracked dates like me are already considered to be above average! Zhuo Fan covered his face and laughed, with a girl's shyness on his face.

"No wonder!" Mommy cupped her cheeks, thoughtful.

After a while, Mi sat up straight and said boldly: "Sister Fan, do you want me to help you confess!" You give me the contact information of the two of you, and I will help you write a love letter, and then I will send it to him so that he can understand your mind! You just need to know one result. ”

"No, no, no, no! He's a baby dad now! Zhang Zhuofan's hands were like cat's paws.

"What's that! Confession is not a result. You just have to tell him the truth about your heart, or it will become a knot in your heart for the rest of your life! Think about it, from freshman year to now, more than ten decades! You're still thinking about it! Bao Xiaotang also felt indignant.

"Don't don't don't don't! You two don't mess around, I don't want to disturb anyone, and I don't want to hurt anyone! Besides, it has become a knot in my heart, and it has nothing to do with him anymore, it is my own knot. Zhang Zhuofan was very excited.

The three of them were at a loss, and there was silence.

Five or seven minutes later, Zhang Zhuofan spoke: "Actually, the first time I saw that tall man, I felt that he had a few things similar to my crush - height and size, temperament at first glance, and extensive interpersonal relationships...... Ay! No, no, no! ”

After a while, Zhang Zhuofan took the initiative again: "Actually, if you have a crush for a long time, you can't help but imitate each other - the way he speaks, the way he laughs, the way he walks, and his demeanor and movements when he listens to lectures and meetings...... To tell you both, I am very grateful to him in my heart. Think about me, an ancient female ape from a village who is rustic, can't dress up, doesn't speak Mandarin, and doesn't have emotional intelligence, and suddenly likes such a perfect and perfect boy, how much impact does this have on me! It's like Big Brother meets Apple 11 – it's unimaginably subversive! In any case, because of him, I myself became beyond my imagination, pattern, or destiny. ”

"Wow!" Zhang Zhuofan finished slowly, and Momi clapped his hands in amazement.

"Crush can make people lose themselves, and the most painful thing is that you become stronger and inferior! Even if you are already very good, when you think of the other person, you immediately feel that your world will always have major flaws and there is no way to spare them. Zhuo Fan, you are a smart person, stop the loss in time! After Xiaotang finished, he patted Zhuo Fan's shoulder across the meter.

Zhang Zhuofan nodded and shook his head again. How can she, who has a high IQ, not understand, but unfortunately, how can emotional matters be interfered with by reason at will? No matter how strong the willpower is, anyone will lose their grace and principles in the face of love.

After a long time, the car was dull, and Zhang Zhuofan diverted the topic and said, "Hey, what do you want to do in the future?" You're so young that you have to have a direction. ”

"Two sisters, I'm not afraid of your jokes when I come out, I want to find a rich man who is good to me to marry - this is my goal in life." Mommy finished and mischievously glanced at the surprised people on both sides.

"Huh? So ambitious! Zhang Zhuofan teased, and the three of them laughed together.

"I didn't set this goal all at once, there was a process. When I was a student, my father hired me with no lower tutoring experience than a graduate student; I had four tutors in junior high school, two undergraduates from Tsinghua University, one graduate student from Peking University, and one Ph.D. from Sun Yat-sen University. My piano teacher has a box of certificates and awards; My English teacher was American; My dance teacher is the best one in Guangzhou who has been on TV...... Also, all the people from my father's company who have come to our house for dinner and drink, regardless of age and position, are very good......"

Momi was not finished slowly, Zhang Zhuofan interjected and teased: "Mine, that's it!" I taught you to the college entrance examination and didn't pass it! I'll go, it's hard to make you a dou in Guangdong! The female doctor's eyes widened.

"My dad is too strong and too successful, and you can only be his weakness - the weakness that will be broken when you poke it, and he will pay special attention to it. The richer the family, the more complicated it is, sister, you don't understand! Mi Wan naughtily glanced at Sister Fan.

Xiaotang and Zhuo Fan were secretly startled when they heard the twenty-year-old girl like this.

"Zhuo Fan, don't interject, let Mi continue!"

"From the beginning, I have seen too many excellent and strong people, and I have found that they are fast-paced, in a hurry, fighting for fate, making themselves superior, armed with titles, and in the end, nothing more than a word for money! Isn't it? I am a tutor and teacher, what is self-realization, life value, and class leap...... But all the efforts finally pointed to a money word. I, Mommy, were born with money—money that I can't spend in a lifetime, so why bother! Momi finished shrugging his shoulders and looking at the two of them.

After stammering for a long time, Zhuo Fan asked, "What...... Business can be good and bad, your dad can't have that much money forever! There are not many rich second generations who collapsed overnight! ”

"It's my mother's job!" Momi grinned and shook his head, and then showed off slightly: "Before I was a year old, my mother forced my father to invest in me, buy stocks, buy houses, buy insurance, and buy funds. So even if I get married, my wealth will still be mine. Why is my mother smart, my mother never sees me and her as one, my property must be a single share, and hers is also a single share, so there are two parts. In the past few years, my father has three of my mother's cares at all, because they made an agreement when they gave birth to me, my father cheated on her once, and one of the three children compensated me for how much, which was written in black and white in advance. My mom pinched on my dad's love for me and keeping his promises, so my dad had a heart and my mom didn't care at all. ”

As soon as these words came out, the car fell silent with bated breath.

Zhuo Fan pointed at the driver with his index finger between his knees, suggesting that the rice partition wall had ears.

"Rest assured. Master Li is my driver, I decide to use it or not, my dad just pays. So, complete peace of mind. Mi nodded in the affirmative.

"Then you will be deceived too! What if your property is scammed away by someone close to you? Bao Xiaotang asked.

"Anyone can be deceived! Female doctors can also be deceived! What I want to do is to find a lawyer, do a notary and go through the legal process, and the other is to make friends with people who treat me sincerely and are afraid that I will be deceived. After finishing the meal, he pointed to the two people on the left and right with his finger, and then smiled sweetly proudly.

"Eh, why don't you sneer?" Zhang Zhuofan suddenly frowned and asked.

"Hey-it's our family heirloom, if you see my mother, you'll definitely collapse, especially in front of my father, there is no normal word, every sentence is coquettish and a few turns, I sometimes feel disgusting and fake, but my dad eats this set! Tsk, tsk! Sometimes when I play with my friends, I can scare myself! Get used to it, get used to it in one way, it's the same as a mask, you can't take it off. ”

"Why are you so old-fashioned now? It's kind of scary! Xiaotang asked solemnly.

"Because every good teacher who takes classes with me, after getting to know me, I will tell them that you may not be effective in teaching me and can only get the original salary, and if you talk to me, I will let my mother pay double the salary. So, I'm not stupid, I just don't study well. I've been talking to those top and good people for almost ten years, and it has to be effective! Isn't it, sister! Mi Wan snorted again.

The two of them pushed the rice on the left and right, but they couldn't help but be impressed by each other.

After a while, Zhang Zhuofan said with some confusion: "Mi, do you have cats?" ”

"Yes! What's wrong? ”

"Did the cat bite you?"

"Our two cats and two dogs don't dare to touch me, and they are most afraid of me at home! Just hurt me, my mother will be beaten to death. What do you want to ask, Sister Fan? ”

"Why do you have so many wounds on the backs of your hands? I found out when I was soaking in the hot springs! The back of your hand looks older than your actual age...... More than 10 years old! The old wound leaves color, and the back of your hand is not as white and tender as your arm......" Zhang Zhuofan was curious, grabbed the back of Mi's hand and looked at the car window.

"Oh fate, let me know you two. The marks on the back of my hand are unknown to no one except my parents, my parents, and my aunt at home. I've been with Fa a few times, trying to use the wound on the back of my hand to get them to care about me, but unfortunately none of them have noticed. ”

"I've had cats before, and it looks like a cat scratched by its paws!" Zhang Zhuofan pointed to the back of Mi's hand.

"It's like, but it's not. I made it myself. Family problems, my dad often doesn't come home for ten or even two or three months, as long as I get hurt, he comes back immediately, so ......" Momi gently touched the back of his hand, looking innocent and unconcerned.

The two of them didn't know how to respond, and quietly glanced at each other in the air, alternating horror and terror.

"My dad has always had threes, all sorts of threes. When I was six years old, they divorced over this, and they had already gone through the process. At that time, I didn't know how to get hurt, I fell my knee, it didn't break a bone but it was very serious, and I took a three-month break from school. My dad hadn't been in the house for seven months before those three months, and during those three months, my dad came home and thought the caregiver he was looking for was clumsy, so he rubbed my wounds, rubbed the medicine, and moved my muscles and bones. Since then, the two of them have reconciled and never mentioned divorce again. That inspired my mom, and ever since then, I've ...... "Momi stretched out his hands and looked in the air at the bark-like roughness of the back of his hand, looking like admiring the high-end and sophisticated, new anime-style manicure he had just made."
