After the divorce, Xiao Shaohui lived alone in his own home.

Someone knocked on the door, Xiao Shaohui opened the door, and Lin Jia stood outside, carrying large bags of things in his hands, looking like food.

"What are you doing here?"

"Can't we come and see you?"

"We're both divorced, why are we here?"

"I forgot we were divorced."

Lin Jia pushed Xiao Shaohui away, broke in by himself, and went directly into the kitchen. She knows everything here, after all, she has lived here for more than ten years.

She still went back to her home like before, doing what she had to do. Xiao Shaohui watched from the side, just like others, and just like before.

"That lady, you're trespassing on a private house, you know?"

"What kind of house, you have to give me some time to adjust to the life of divorce. Besides, there's still my stuff here. ”

"By the way, when will your clothes be taken from that cupboard?" Xiao Shaohui asked.

Lin Jia opened the wardrobe, and there was a whole cabinet of her own clothes, which she had accumulated after more than ten years of marriage. Lin Jia has a hobby of saving things, for example, she has been keeping a diary every day since their daughter was born, recording the changes and growth of her children, and she is also full of pictures and texts. She was also exposed to some paintings in the handicraft factory, and she was a little basic, with various images under the daily text, such as a small doll or a small baby bottle. She's always kept these things.

"My house is too small to move, and I don't want these broken things, so I'll leave them to you."

"What do you leave it to me, I can't wear it."

"Wear it for your future girlfriend."

"If you don't take your things, how will I explain if I have a girlfriend in the future for the family to see?"

"I don't care about this, I don't have a place to put it anyway, and you are not allowed to touch my things, I can't spare you one less. By the way, we just got divorced, and you started thinking about finding a new person? ”

"I didn't think about it, I just said there would be a day."

"Then wait until you find it and tell me, I'll find a way, and by the way, I'll help you go through it and review it."

"You don't have to worry about it".

While the two of them were arguing and bickering, Lin Jia was cooking, and after a while, the kung fu meal was put on the table.

"How much money do you have now? I want to buy a car. ”

"Why do you buy a car?"

"Pick up Kexin to and from school, it's uncomfortable to crowd the bus every day, such a small child. I had a fight with an old lady in the car last week, and I slapped her in the mouth. ”

Xiao Shaohui couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

"You are horizontal enough at home and abroad, and one day you will be honest when you meet someone who is more powerful than you."

"Is there one? So I had to buy a car, but Xin couldn't wake up early every day, and it was hard to get up, and the time to take the car was not good, and I was always late. ”

Xiao Shaohui didn't know where to find a passbook and handed it to Lin Jia.

"That's all, let's buy a cheaper one first, I really can't buy a second-hand one, drive it first."

"You're going to make it up to us."

"It's to compensate the girl."

Money has never been a problem in their married life for more than ten years, Xiao Shaohui has always been very able to make money, Lin Jia is not bad, and the life of the two of them is good compared with their peers, relatives and friends. Xiao Shaohui had his own car before, and he used to pick up and drop off his children when he went out to run errands or his children went to school, so Lin Jia didn't think too much about it at all, but now it's different.

My daughter did well in the high school entrance examination and went to a key middle school far away. Divorced, Xiao Shaohui has been living in his own house, and Lin Jia can only take the bus to school every morning with her daughter. Lin Jia is a relatively thin woman, squeezing the car and carrying a child, it has become a big burden for her, although her daughter is fifteen years old, but she also looks with her, small and exquisite, the two of them are like two little sheep surrounded by the crowd of people in the car, it is really a painful thing, every time the daughter is very pitiful, sometimes even tearful. Every time Lin Jia saw her daughter's tears, it hurt like piercing her heart, and what she was most afraid of was that the divorce would bring her daughter this kind of pain that could be seen and touched.

There is a saying that if a divorced woman lives with her daughter, then most of them will become strong, because she must support a family and be able to give her daughter enough security to rush to the front no matter what happens, and no one can rely on her. Lin Jia is such a result, her daughter Kexin was very favored before they divorced, and now Lin Jia is doubly cared for.

Xiao Shaohui was also able to understand her request, after all, it was not that she was going to spend this money, and her daughter was the most important thing for the two of them. So he didn't hesitate to give Lin Jia all the tens of thousands of dollars he had saved since he got married.

That was the last time Lin Jia harassed Xiao Shaohui. It was not that Lin Jia accepted the money given by Xiao Shaohui and completely broke off his thoughts, but that Lin Jia felt his responsibility. Xiao Shaohui will disappear from her life, disappear completely, she wants to start a new life with her daughter, and the result must be good. Her stubborn temper began to explode again, she must let herself and her children live a good life, and show Xiao Shaohui that they can be happy without him.

After snatching Xiao Shaohui's gold necklace that time, he was ridiculed and tapped by Xiao Shaohui, and Lin Jia suddenly felt that it was really meaningless to entangle him like this. Lin Jia persuaded Xiao Shaohui to find someone else, which was also the true meaning in her heart. She looks at Xiao Shaohui is also quite pitiful, his parents are gone, only one brother is rarely contacted, after the divorce, he lives alone, there is nothing to do except commuting, it turns out that he also likes to raise a cricket, which is also a bit of a hobby, and now he has no heart to play this. She also thought about hoping that Xiao Shaohui would find a woman as soon as possible to accompany him for the rest of his life, so she wouldn't affect his life every now and then.

In those three years, Lin Jia's life was very simple, going to work and taking care of the children. She deliberately chose a business job with flexible hours, so that she could pick up Kexin on time every day, and at the same time she could earn more money by doing business.

People tend to be more lonely the more alone they are. Xiao Shaohui was occasionally harassed by Lin Jia at the beginning, although it also made him feel bored, but it could add a little fun to his boring life and spice up the atmosphere. Gradually, Lin Jia ran out of news, and she didn't bother to take care of her, so life became boring. He still relied on providing some technical guidance to nearby township handicraft enterprises to make money, but the market for this industry was getting worse and worse, and it tended to die. He also had fewer and fewer jobs, often just being home alone for long periods of time, and he couldn't even find someone to talk to, and sometimes he secretly worried that he would lose his ability to speak in the long run.

In the end, he made a decision to open his own shop. Since the current job is not very busy, it is better to find something else to do to enrich yourself. After a period of consideration and investigation, he chose the teahouse, if he wanted to be lonely, he would simply be lonely to the end, no longer communicate with anyone, and have his own environment, quiet and peaceful, and get by. Of course, according to his character, he will not follow the crowd and be the same as others, he decided to open a book and tea bar, which is in line with his hobby, and it is also very consistent with his current state. Away from the bustling city, find a slightly remote place, as for the guests, the smell of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, there will always be people coming.

There is another reason why Xiao Shaohui has the idea of opening a store, and that is money.

According to the divorce agreement with Lin Jia, Xiao Shaohui only gave Lin Jia one or two thousand yuan in child support every month, which was far from enough money for the two of them to spend. But as Kexin went to high school, there were too many places where he really needed money, and he knew that Lin Jia only had an income of a few thousand yuan a month, and the expenses were very large, so he had the idea of doing some business by himself, so that he could also help Lin Jia more.

After a period of preparation, Xiao Shaohui's shop opened, although the location of the book bar is relatively partial, but there are many retired old people living there with some culture, unique business forms, and the cost of coming here is not large, so it quickly attracted the attention of the surrounding people, and the business is really good, much better than the income from work. Since then, he has doubled the money he gave to Lin Jia and the child.

Lin Jia never went to his store, never inquired about his business, in fact, he didn't ask him for more money, he saved all the money he gave Lin Jia, which was completely different from the performance of taking the initiative to ask for money at the beginning, the reason why Lin Jia always asked him for money at the beginning was out of a kind of anger. Lin Jia has her idea of saving money, and her next goal is to send her daughter abroad to study.

Every time he talked about money, Xiao Shaohui always said to Lin Jia that she was so difficult now, it was better to put her daughter there, and when her daughter went to college or worked, Lin Jia was willing to let her accompany her, and his conditions were much better than Lin Jia's.

Whenever Xiao Shaohui said this, Lin Jia immediately became anxious, what she was most worried about was that her daughter was snatched away by Xiao Shaohui.

She knew that Xiao Shaohui's love for her daughter was much deeper than herself, and Xiao Shaohui's economic income was much higher than her own, and because of this, she understood that once her daughter fell into Xiao Shaohui's hands, she was afraid that she would be farther and farther away from her daughter, which was a terrible thing for her, and it would never happen.

So when Xiao Shaohui gave her money again, she refused.

After Lin Jia no longer had much contact with Xiao Shaohui, she couldn't stop Kexin, when the child was older, every weekend or holiday, she would go to Xiao Shaohui alone. Her parents got along harmoniously and did not put any pressure on her, and she never communicated her parents' affairs to each other. Sometimes, no matter who asks her about the other person's situation, she only answers one sentence: she wants to know what she calls and asks. Choked Lin Jia or Xiao Shaohui with nothing to say.

Sometimes Ke Xin is happy, and he will educate his parents.

"I think it's better for both of you to be divorced than not to be separated. In the past, when you were together, you quarreled every day, like two enemies. Now no one can see anyone, but they are thinking, worrying, and missing each other. ”

Xiao Shaohui was a little happy when he heard this. Lin Jia could only scold her daughter when she heard it.

Lin Jia and Xiao Shaohui both paid some attention to each other, whether it was Lin Jia's straightforwardness or Xiao Shaohui's concealment, which was clearly seen by Kexin.

A family of three existed in such a strange state, and it was three years in a flash.
