Chen Hong didn't come to stare at the stall that day, Bai Xuesong was watching the store alone, and the old couple entered the store and looked around to ask this and that. It is impossible for Bai Xuesong to know that the old couple in front of him is his future father-in-law and mother-in-law, but he is used to the attitude and behavior of all kinds of customers, and treats everyone with the same courtesy.

After running a small shop for two or three years, he was originally able to speak well, he had already mastered the skills of opening a store, and he was extremely tactful, dealing with all kinds of customers with a friendly and wealthy attitude, and maintaining the development of the shop, especially the two kind-hearted old men in front of him, he liked it in his heart.

The two old men stayed in the store for nearly an hour and chatted a lot with Bai Xuesong, a customer like this is rare, but it did not arouse Bai Xuesong's suspicion. This small street has become a well-known commercial street in Beijing, and not only young people but also many old people come here. It is not only a place to do business, but also a scenery or a unique cultural atmosphere, and a place for everyone to hang out and have nothing to do. In the past, there were often old people who came here, maybe to buy things for children, maybe to get in touch with new things, no matter how they came, they were all customers, and they had to be treated equally, which was Bai Xuesong's own business experience. And Bai Cedar was born with the elderly, which may have something to do with his background of growing up in his grandparents' parents, so Chen Hong's parents' first private visit to Weifu received a particularly good effect.

Before leaving, Bai Xuesong also took out two beautiful little silk scarves to the old man and old lady, this is not actually specially prepared by him, he bought some very cheap small silk scarves in Guangzhou, you can sell them if you buy them, and if you don't buy them, you can give them as gifts to those guests who shop a lot or are familiar with them.

Back at home, the old couple conducted a very detailed analysis and discussion on the problem of white cedar, the old man saw the problem more clearly and rationally, he put forward an opinion, after the reform and opening up, the model of many families has changed, the husband and wife are not necessarily guarding the iron rice bowl, if the girl will graduate in the future, she will definitely go to school to work, this is a stable job, but relatively speaking, the income may not be too high. As for Bai Xuesong, if his character is still good, and he does it himself, he may be able to make more money, one of the two is stable, and the other is struggling outside, this model is not a good combination.

What's more, the old couple only had one child like Chen Hong, so they thought of a question, whether they could let Bai Xuesong into their home in the future.

The old couple told Chen Hong about this idea, and Chen Hong also relayed it to Bai Xuesong. Bai Xuesong was raised in his grandparents' house when he was one or two years old, and it wasn't until he went to high school that his grandparents were old and couldn't take care of him anymore, so he didn't have too deep feelings with his parents.

Listening to what Chen Hong said about the old couple's thoughts, Bai Xuesong was very happy, he thought that the relationship between himself and his parents was not very normal, if he really married Chen Hong to his own family, he and his parents would have some estrangement, let alone a daughter-in-law. It's better to really go to Chen Hong's house, so that he can get the best of both worlds, and his heart can also make up for the care and love given by his parents' generation, and he will not have conflicts with his parents.

Of course, Chen Hong told him about the private visit of the old couple. Bai Xuesong didn't have any sense of fear, he thought that no matter whether it was his future father-in-law or mother-in-law, he would contact the old man with a respectful attitude, which made Chen Hong and her parents very optimistic. So this family affair was basically settled, and they began to prepare for marriage after Chen Hong graduated from college and was assigned a job.

Their marriage, like most young men and women at that time, was plain but sweet, like two children of a family. Neither of them has much money, needless to say, Chen Hong has just graduated from college and has no income, while Bai Xuesong has opened this small shop, it has not been too long, and the money he earned has been returned to his parents. But when he brought Chen Hong home and said that he wanted to get married, his parents were still very happy, thinking that their son did not grow up with them, and now he can be independent, and went to the other party's house again, and he also had peace of mind, which was a happy thing, and they pooled a sum of money to organize a marriage for Bai Xuesong.

One of the things that Bai Xuesong was most excited about when he got married was that Chen Hong was still a virgin, which was an accident for him, although he didn't dare to fall in love openly on the college campus at that time, he secretly and privately dated a lot. He thought of how beautiful Chen Hong was, and it was inevitable that someone would chase him, and when he got married, it was the first time, which was an unexpected gain for him, and it was also the first time for him.

In the process of opening a store, he will meet beautiful girls almost every day, including the buddies who open the store around him have also made a lot of girlfriends, and they come over from his eyes every day, but those girls are not very attractive to him, on the one hand, he almost devotes himself to the operation of the small store, on the other hand, since Chen Hong appeared in her life, she has recognized this girl, and she has not had any other ideas.

Everything was smooth sailing, two ordinary children from two ordinary families formed a new ordinary family, Chen Hong successfully became a Chinese teacher in a middle school, and they gave birth to a son more than a year later. Bai Xuesong's small shop continues to operate, the income is still good, of course, there will be some ups and downs, in comparison, the harvest of a year is definitely more than Hong, and Chen Hong not only has a stable job, but also has a winter and summer vacation, which is more opportunities for them to be together better than others, stability is the most obvious sign of their family.

The biggest event they encountered after their marriage was the closure of Bai Cedar's shop.

It's not that White Cedar is not doing well, it's completely objective. Their street is located in the most prosperous area of the city center, and a large Hong Kong company has taken a fancy to its location and invested heavily in real estate development here, and the small street is facing demolition.

After closing the store, Bai Xuesong was faced with two choices: one was to find another place to continue to open the store; The other is to do something else. At that time, his store had been open for four or five years, and with the stability of the family, he also felt that it was not a matter to always keep such a small shop, the child was the age that needed to be taken care of, Chen Hong's parents were getting older day by day, Chen Hong was usually very busy, and he also needed someone to help him, and his own store was basically inseparable from people, so he had plans to do other things. But since I opened this store, I have basically disconnected myself from society, and I can't do anything else, and I can't do anything else if I want to find a job, and I have developed a habit of freedom by myself for a long time, and I don't want to work a 9-to-5 shift. In the end, he came up with the best of the best and drove a taxi.

At that time, there were taxis, which was still a fashionable job, and I had already learned to drive, so it was no problem to do this job. He thought that if he had a car, not only would he be able to earn money by having a job, but it would also be convenient for the adults and children in the family to use a car, and his time would be flexible, and his previous concerns would be solved.

Regarding the choice of white cedar, Chen Hong had no objection. She thought that if Bai Xuesong drove the car, she could enjoy the treatment of picking up and sending the car, which was also a good thing, and the income from driving a taxi at that time was still a lot. Chen Hong's parents were a little reluctant at first, after all, this was not a serious job for them, and there was no future. But since Chen Hong didn't object, it was inconvenient for the two old men to say anything. And with Chen Hong's thoughts, it is indeed much more convenient to have a car at home.

Everything continues peacefully, there is no pressure on their work, and they don't need to work too hard, especially Chen Hong, the daily classes are fixed, the monthly and annual work is even about the same, the spare time is abundant, and there are winter and summer vacations, which makes her life dull. There is only one way for her to solve this boredom, which is to quarrel with Bai Cedar from time to time, and be noisy for no reason. Chen Hong has been pampered since she was a child, and she is an only daughter, even if she is a mother, she is almost like a child, Bai Xuesong takes care of Chen Hong and spoils Chen Hong. Of course, the most common topic in the quarrel is divorce, and Bai Xuesong can't remember how many times Chen Hong has said divorce over the years, but he hasn't fulfilled once. Gradually, it became a mantra, and it was not taken seriously.

This time, Bai Xuesong was still not sure what the final result would be, and in the last few days of waiting for the divorce procedures with Chen Hong, he reviewed the past ten years, and did not find that he had done anything sorry for Chen Hong or sorry for this family in this long time. In fact, he had long understood the reason why Chen Hong wanted to divorce, just like she said that day, she wanted to see the outside world. They have known each other for more than ten years, the family has always been calm and stable, like a pool of stagnant water, without too many waves, although they are noisy all day long, but it is not a matter of principle. Chen Hong lives in such an environment like a frog at the bottom of a well, but now the frog at the bottom of the well is no longer satisfied with the small piece of sky she sees, the key is that although she can't see the outside world, she can hear about the outside world, because there are many people who can see the outside world will tell her what the outside world is like anytime and anywhere, and will hide the bad places, report good news and not bad news, and describe to her how gorgeous and colorful the outside world is. This depiction is full of temptation for her, a woman who spends her days wandering around a small environment like school, with little contact with the outside world, simple, kind and simple, and at the same time it is difficult to control her yearning for the unknown world.

Bai Xuesong thought that the biggest influence on Chen Hong must be her best friends, and this resolute divorce is also related to them, which is the source of temptation, especially the closest colleague Wang Jing to her.
