During that time, Chen Hong seemed to have forgotten Bai Xuesong, because she didn't have so much time to recall, compared to the love twenty years ago, this time it was more enthusiastic and more devoted, as if it was a force that had been held back for a long time, and finally broke out, so that she and Xiao Shaohui ushered in another love when they were in their forties.

Without Bai Cedar at home, Chen Hong is much freer, and Xiao Shaohui will drive a car to pick her up at the school gate every day after school. In the past, Bai Xuesong often came to pick up Chen Hong, but now there is a difference, not only the driver has changed, but the car has also changed, from a taxi to a decent car, which naturally gives Chen Hong a lot of anger. Among female teachers in school, being able to have a man to and from work every day is the most obvious sign of a woman's show-off, which is more eye-catching than what she eats and wears, and will inevitably be jealous and sarcastic. Many of Chen Hong's colleagues have been working together for more than 20 years, and everyone's family and life cannot be hidden. Chen Hong was picked up by Xiao Shaohui for the first time and immediately attracted the attention of her colleagues, she did not tell any colleagues when she divorced, except for Wang Jing, she specially told Wang Jing to keep it secret for her, Wang Jing did it, but Chen Hong herself did not keep the secret.

The sisters asked her bluntly who the man was. Chen Hong answered everyone without any concealment: "New wife." ”

"What about Lao Bai?"

"Knocked out."

Chen Hong's colleagues almost all know Bai Xuesong, and every winter and summer vacation, their school organizes a trip, and Bai Xuesong picks up and drops off at the station, and usually has colleagues who take a ride along the way. In everyone's eyes, they are a loving couple, Bai Xuesong, who has no temper, is more enthusiastic about Chen Hong's colleagues, but keeps a distance, after all, there are mostly female teachers, and Chen Hong is a jealous person. Everyone has a good impression of Bai Cedar, and they all know that Chen Hong likes to be top-notch, and Chen Hong must have the final say at home.

Now that we have heard such news, we finally have a new topic to talk about. Of course, there are many people who blame and ridicule Chen Hong behind their backs, and even say a lot of unpleasant comments, and it seems that Chen Hong's performance of not admitting defeat for many years has finally been retributed.

Chen Hong inevitably heard all kinds of rumors, and she also let it go this time, sometimes scolding openly in the office.

"Don't be angry at watching others live a good life, I live my own life, and others can't take care of it."

Her words did not refer to specifically, but they were clear, mainly to silence those people. The reason why she dared to say this was that on the one hand, she couldn't help the anger in her heart, and she fought back against those who said bad things about her behind her back, and at the same time, she also strengthened her relationship with Xiao Shaohui, so as not to hide and hide, as if she had done something unseemly. Sooner or later, one day the matter between her and Xiao Shaohui will be made public, she thought so.

After Bai Xuesong left Chen Hong's house, he thought of two places, one was to go back to his parents, and the other was to rent a house outside, but he finally rejected the first idea. Since he didn't listen to his father more than 20 years ago, quit his job and opened his own shop, until he had to live in Chen Hong's house when he got married, he rarely went to his parents. At most, every year during the Spring Festival, the Chinese New Year's Eve or the first and second days of the new year, they symbolically go back, that is, stay for a few hours, eat a meal and then leave. There is nothing to communicate with the family together, Chen Hong has been pampered since childhood, and her parents are very stubborn, and it is difficult to communicate well with Bai Xuesong's family. After having a child, they took the child home, and the two old men naturally smiled more when they saw their grandson, and the child also became a medium to ease the atmosphere. Although sometimes the second elder would let them bring their children over, it still failed to completely alleviate the conflict between them. So at this moment, if Bai Xuesong goes back, you can imagine how the two old men will react. Originally, Bai Xuesong was upset enough to leave Chen Hong, and if he faced the complaints of the old man and the old lady all day long, he would be too uncomfortable.

Many colleagues in the company are drivers who live in the suburbs, and he asked them about it, and everyone rents a relatively cheap house in the urban-rural border area, and they all drive anyway, so it doesn't matter if it's far away. There are even buddies who share a room with a few people, which doesn't cost much. But it's much more suitable than running home every day, and the gas money back and forth is more expensive than renting a house, and the key is to take time.

So, Bai Xuesong, under the recommendation of a colleague, also rented a bungalow near the Fifth Ring Road.

When he left Chen Hong's house, he once thought that maybe his future life would be boring, after all, he returned to the life of a person, and the current situation is different from more than 20 years ago, when he was young, he could do whatever he wanted, and he had no marriage experience, and he was completely carefree. But now it's different, it's like the feeling of having something you once had and suddenly losing it is completely different from not having it at all.

After living there, Bai Xuesong found that Beijing still has such a relaxed environment. It was a village that had not been demolished, next to a body of water, surrounded by a pristine park. Most of the residents in the village are elderly, and the younger ones have moved to the bustling areas early, so it is unusually quiet and safe. He leaves early and returns late, so he rarely sees people around him. Every day, he collected the car and returned to the village, sat by the pond and drank some tea to rest, looking at Liao's uninhabited surroundings, the stars in the sky were clearly visible, and the air was much fresher than in the city, which gave him a feeling of being outside the world.

At this time, he calmed down and thought about the experience of the previous or the first half of his life, as if he was in another life. He would think of Chen Hong, and he didn't know what she was doing, and which man she was with. Occasionally, he would have the idea of calling Chen Hong, but each time he quickly dispelled it. He knew Chen Hong's hypocrisy, if he disturbed her good mood, he would definitely be frantically abused, not to mention that she was probably not alone now. The life in front of him was originally peaceful, and there was no need to cause an argument and disturb his mood.

The only thing that made Bai Cedar feel at ease was his son. Fortunately, he drives a car every day, often passing by his son's school, and sometimes he will take advantage of the end of school time to stop picking up work, and go directly to the school gate to wait to see his son.

At that time, my son was already in the second grade of junior high school, and the school was not far from home, so there was no need for adults to take care of it. The daily life is taken care of by grandparents and grandparents, and the two of them are very worry-free before the divorce. Chen Hong's idea is very simple, in the future, let his son be admitted to a normal school like himself, and the profession of teacher will become more and more scarce, especially for boys. Another reason, which is the result of her own personal experience, is that there are mostly girls in normal schools, and it is easy for boys to find a partner, so it will be a good thing to kill multiple birds with one stone. After designing their son's future, they will be more at ease with their son, as long as there are no major problems, their son's life will basically be spent under their arrangement.

The children in junior high school are in adolescence, and they basically ignore their parents, which makes Bai Xuesong a little relieved, he has always been afraid that their divorce will affect the children, but the son is very arrogant and does not take it seriously at all. Even if he often didn't come home, he didn't attract his son's attention, and occasionally asked. He just replied that he would go to live at his grandparents' house, and his son would not say anything more. Every time I go to school to see my son, I just buy something to eat, or better yet, give him some pocket money, and my son is very happy.

The taxi fleet has a regular meeting once a week, and the time is very short, just to briefly inform everyone of the latest news system to avoid delaying everyone's departure time. But it is this short time that colleagues are familiar, people in this industry do not have time to make friends, every day on the road, colleagues are the best and closest friends, although not often meet, but everyone will also take the time to contact.

Bai Xuesong is almost the first batch of employees to enter the company, is the old man of the company, so there are many people who know him, and his popularity is very good, and he is one of the few employees in the company with a college degree, so everyone jokingly calls him "Xiucai", the company will find him if there is anything that needs to write and paint, and he will perform one or two programs at the annual meeting every year, that is, sing a song or something. He also has a specialty, when he was in college, he had a whim to learn photography for a while, and then he put this thing down when he was busy opening a store, and he did everything that needed to be done in the taxi company for all kinds of documents and photos, so he became a celebrity in the company, and almost 90% of people could call his name.

Everyone also knows that he has a beautiful daughter-in-law, because Chen Hong sometimes follows him to the company in his car, and Bai Xuesong often talks about Chen Hong among colleagues, always with a show-off attitude, so everyone is jealous and envious, and they all know that he has a good home.

Bai Xuesong has not told his colleagues what happened at home after the divorce, first, we don't have much time to meet, there is no need to have too deep exchanges, and I rarely interact with my good buddies, everyone is too busy, and this is not a glorious thing. The point is that he had thought that their divorce was just a formality, maybe there would be any changes one day, and if he really remarried one day, he wouldn't mention it anymore.

But after being blasted out of his home by Chen Hong, he had no way and no place to live, so he could only inquire with his colleagues to find a place to live. Of course, he wanted to give people an excuse, but he still didn't say anything about the divorce, just said that relatives had recently come to the house, and there was no place to live, and he needed to live outside for a while. People didn't ask much about anything.

Lao Zheng, who helped him find a house, also lived near him, and often came to sit here for a while, and the two of them chatted, inevitably mentioning the family, Bai Xuesong gradually couldn't hide it, so he told Lao Zheng the truth. Lao Zheng also knew that his family was good, but he hadn't seen Chen Hong, and he didn't know much about it, and now there are so many divorced people, it's not a new thing, just symbolically comforting and comforting him, and saying sorry words.

But soon Lao Zheng found Bai Xuesong and said that he would introduce him to a partner.
