Chapter 13: I Am the Captain
For the rest of September, I was shuttling between schools, hotels, courtrooms, and lawyers.
It's really "no one thing, no wisdom".
Through counseling and through real experience, I finally understood the difficulty of divorce.
Originally, I thought that divorce was a simple or at least not complicated thing, but it wasn't until I was in it that I realized that there were too many human feelings and too many backgrounds in it, and I realized how ignorant I was yesterday and today, and I realized that I was so idiotic about the world that I couldn't believe it.
In the past, I scoffed at the saying that "everything in the world is knowledgeable, and the practice of human feelings is the article", but now I finally realize that I am not even as good as a primary school student in this regard! However, no matter how difficult it is, even if there is a sea of swords and fires in front of me, and a rain of bullets, I will break through him.
I'm divorced.
A good friend is a good friend after all, and after learning about my situation, he didn't say anything, so he let me get on his motorbike and help me find a lawyer and a court president, all of whom were his friends.
I thought I didn't have to worry about it now, Hua Jiehao, who was riding a motorcycle, sneered: "Mingxi, when will you open your mind?" Do you think that if I introduced them to you, divorce would be a matter of course? My role is nothing more than a bridging lead. ”
After a pause, he looked a little agitated and continued, "You still have to give them gifts." As the saying goes, 'It is better to tear down a hundred bridges than to tear down a marriage'. My talented brother of Beijing Normal University, I did this, but I couldn't extricate myself from being trapped by love, and by the way, the deep brotherhood of three years in high school. ”
Although I hated the matter of giving gifts to guests, in order to completely remove the pain in my heart, I had to ride a bicycle one night, carrying a pound of West Lake premium Longjing tea and a Hongtashan cigarette, to the Luyuan community.
The green trees in the green garden community are swaying, the fragrant flowers are in full bloom, the green grass is verdant, and each household is a single-door courtyard, with two floors above and below, black tiles and red walls. President Wang's family lives here. I walked to the courtyard of the president's house with the gifts, raised my right hand and rang the doorbell.
The president's wife came out and opened the courtyard door, and when she saw that it was me, Danfeng's eyes immediately smiled: "It turned out to be Teacher Chu, please come in, please come in." ”
"Mrs. Wang, is the president at home?" I asked as I walked.
She glanced at what I was carrying in my hand as if casually, and immediately replied enthusiastically, "He just went out and will be back in about 20 minutes!" ”
I carefully changed my slippers at the door, and while dealing with the president's wife, I looked at the furnishings of the house.
The living room is extravagantly luxurious.
The golden ceiling and white walls are imposing. Two glittering crystal chandeliers are particularly dazzling.
In front of the glass background wall directly opposite is a 21-inch color TV, and the curtain light makes the copper and gold small characters on the background wall "Purple Qi from the East" shimmer. To the south of the living room, there is a milky white horizontal piano, with green plants on the left side of the piano and a large glass fish tank on the right, which makes the style of the large living room bright and fresh, and alleviates the dullness and depression brought by the complicated and luxurious decoration.
I was very interested in looking at the large glass fish tank.
The fish tank is indeed very large, and there is a blue "cold light source" tube inside to illuminate the little creatures inside.
There is a coral reef in the fish tank, the coral reef is not a natural appearance, but a processed shape, the overall shape is very perfect, the shape is complex and changeable, and if you look closely, you will find that it looks like a dragon that is moving forward rapidly.
On the reef were a few colorful anemones, stretching their tentacles as the water circulated back and forth in the tank as the tank was agitated by small machines. The clownfish in the water is very small, coming and going, shuttling rapidly, moving very quickly, and has a very bright blue and yellow body.
The ball fish seems to have a thin layer of skin wrapped in hard armor, and only the fins on its back, chest, and tail move to complete all its actions. Its skin color is very peculiar, grayish-yellow and greenish with many small round spots, which looks a little funny and a little cute. There are a few colorful tropical marine fish like butterflies in the water, wandering slowly and leisurely.
There are also four or five shrimp in the glass tank, all of them have extremely long beards, and they seem to be wearing the clothes of a circus clown, and the color of red and white stripes is mixed with color, which is very beautiful. They are always wielding large pincers and wishful thinking to tease other animals, as if they are their opponents, competing with each other.
Perhaps seeing that I liked the glass fish tank very much, Mrs. Wang began to carefully open the bottom of the aquarium, and it turned out that the tank was hidden in a wooden base cabinet.
She told how the aquarium is ecological, natural, and scientific, and boasted proudly about how her aquarium circulates naturally, how it cleans dynamically, and can even turn over the tank once in two or three years and clean it thoroughly. She pointed to the small glass jars filled with gravel and sea sand below, and explained the role of each jar one by one.
In such an atmosphere, I wondered that I could smile innocently and happily from time to time like her.
Mrs. Wang finally got tired of talking, sat down on the sofa, drank ice water in a big gulp, and pointed to me and said, "The cup on the coffee table is for you, please taste how it tastes like me." ”
It was very cold in the house because of the air conditioning. Originally, I was not thirsty, but since others invited you to taste, I am afraid that it would be rude not to drink, so I took a sip of the crystal clear cup, the taste is not only cool, but also a little sweet and sour, it is indeed a taste that I like.
So I said in an exaggerated tone, "Yes, really good!" ”
While we were talking, the President returned.
As soon as he saw me, he smiled and said politely, "Oh, Teacher Chu, hello." ”
"President Wang, I just have time to visit you at the mansion tonight!" I quickly stood up, a little at a loss.
He waved his hand again and again: "You're polite." You may be seated, you may be seated! ”
I don't really remember exactly what they talked about, but I vaguely remember that he seemed to talk about his past, saying that he used to be a soldier and then transferred to a local area. Before leaving, he insisted that I take the tea and cigarettes with me, and after many rounds, he finally accepted it helplessly, and said, "In this case, I will accept it first, and I will give it to the flower section chief and hand it to you when I have time." Don't worry, I will handle your affairs impartially! ”
I stupidly dropped the warm "thank you" and left President Wang's house satisfied.
Pedaling my bicycle, walking through the thick night, listening to the sound of frogs and insects, I seemed to see some light.
It seems that the divorce wish is about to come true.
