Chapter 10: The Cold War
Xia Jie listened to his sister's angry words, and shook his head helplessly: "Okay, it's up to you, we still have to buy my mother's insurance, and it's up to you whether you pay or not." What Xia Jie didn't say was that this old sister had been spoiled by her good-natured brother-in-law and brother-in-law, and she was really good-tempered compared to when she was a child. Hey, I really don't know the blessing in the blessing, and I don't know the blessing when I am not sick.
Xia Yu was silent for a while, thought about it and proposed: "Forget it, I'll give out a third." ”
Xia Jie knew that the old lady had a knife mouth and a tofu heart, and nodded: "That's okay, I'll contact you when the time comes." ”
Xia Yu nodded: "Well, I'll send the money over when the time comes." But I can't tell your brother-in-law. ”
Xia Jie nodded: "Understood." ”
After chatting with my sister and brother, after Xia Yu went to the toilet, he caught up with his in-laws and kept up with the army.
Everyone took a leisurely walk, and when they reached the large platform at the top of the mountain, the sun in the clouds showed its face, and the summer sun burned everyone like a tiger. Xia Yu was pulling Xiaoyuan to sit on the grass to rest, Zhang Shan suddenly walked in and spewed out a sentence: "Aren't there sun hats and sun umbrellas in the car?" Why didn't you bring it out? ”
Xia Yu lay flat on the grass a little carelessly, and replied: "I forgot, it's not quite cool to come out in the afternoon, so I didn't bring it, what's wrong?" ”
Zhang Shan said with some displeasure: "You should bring it out, be prepared, you take Xiaoyuan to sit in some, sit under the shade of the tree, don't get a tan." ”
Xia Yu didn't care: "You said Xiaoyuan, he is growing his body, and getting more melanin is conducive to growing taller." He's a boy, and it's okay to get a tan. Besides, your Zhang family's genetics are so strong, and your natural fair and delicate skin can't be tanned, it doesn't matter. The shade under the tree is uneven and uncomfortable to sit on. ”
Zhang Shan looked at Xia Yu lying like this, he didn't feel any bad influence at all, his face was full of gloom, and he continued to educate Xia Yu: "I'm talking about you, you're already very dark, I asked you not to go swimming, you just don't listen, and now you haven't been a little conscious." Every time you walk with me, people say you're older than me. If you don't pay attention to sun protection now, if you don't slip away in the morning and evening, your appearance will be not good, and it will be even more ugly in the future, and it will be a shame for me. ”
Zhang Shan actually blamed himself like this in front of the old and young of their family, Xia Yu was very angry. I just like fitness, and I usually pay attention to sun protection, and I wear several layers of sunscreen when I go out. His skin does not have the same black charcoal appearance as Zhang Shan said, his natural complexion is not as white as their Zhang family's little white face, and the skin color inherited from his parents is reddish, and he does not have the skin like the legendary peerless beauty.
Xia Yu is obviously several years younger than Zhang Shan, and those colleagues of Zhang Shan actually say that they are older than Zhang Shan. It's just that I don't like to dress up and put on makeup. I go to work every day to take care of my children, and I have the smell of fireworks. He is not as sloppy as Zhang Shan said, his own personality and professional requirements, Xia Yu is just not as charming and fashionable as he dresses up.
When others saw Xia Yu, they all felt that Xia Yu was very capable, clean and temperamental, and Xia Yu walked in a simple style. Xia Yu has always insisted on fitness, and there is not much to find fault with in terms of physical temperament and demeanor, but today the whole person is in a relaxed state, and he is not as profligate as Zhang Shan said.
Zhang Shan didn't care if he thought Xia Yu had lost face for him, but he actually blamed himself for not saving face in front of them, Xia Yu is not easy to mess with, not the kind of character who swallows his anger. Xia Yu held back the fire in his heart, and replied with a smile: "If you don't look down on me, you won't look at Se." Do you know? Our Xia family has an ancestral elixir, which grows very tall when eaten, my younger brother and my cousin, they all grow to about one meter eighty-five. I think you should have known me earlier, and you wouldn't be in such a regrettable situation today.
I'm tanned, and I can make up for it when I go home and make a mask, but it's a pity that you're now stereotyped and can't go back, it's a pity. ”
As soon as Zhang Shan heard it, he knew that Xia Yu was secretly mocking that he was short and a third-level cripple. Zhang Shan was so angry that Xia Yu was about to vomit blood, so he didn't care about Xia Yu and went down the mountain directly.
Xia Yu looked at Zhang Shan's back, and complained angrily in his heart, a man's mouth has grown into a poisonous tongue like you, he was really fucking blind at the beginning, and he saw that this thing has a good skin. In the battle of wits and courage with the poisonous tongue man, he has changed from a gentle young woman to a resentful woman who hurts people with a gun and a stick without seeing blood. He and Zhang Shan have also changed from loving husband and wife to a bunch of resentful couples.
Xia Yu is sad, in this marriage, he really regrets not being at the beginning, he really makes a mistake and becomes a thousand years of hatred, and it is difficult to turn back. The mountain alliance and sea vows at the time of marriage became two looks, disgusted with each other. The longing for a good marriage has become a chicken feather. God, sure enough, marriage is the grave of love. Marriage is a prison for mutual torture between husband and wife without love as the foundation.
On the way home, Xia Yu obviously felt Zhang Shan's boredom, probably because Xia Yu hurt his self-esteem, Xia Yu thought with some pleasure in his heart, haven't you always been happy to fight and dislike and ridicule me? I salute you now, you can't stand it, a big man is actually a woman is still small. If you are allowed to have a poisonous tongue, are you not allowed to return the favor?
Looking at Zhang Shan's stinky face, Xia Yu pretended not to see, and after saying goodbye to his sister's family at the highway intersection, Xia Yu, who was sitting in the co-pilot's seat, didn't say a word, and Xiaoyuan also slept in his grandmother's arms. When he was about to tell him, Li Man suddenly asked, "What are we going to do tonight?" ”
Li Man's mind Xia Yu already knows very well, if according to the previous situation, he used to get off the highway and was very close to the community where Xia Yu Zhang Shan lived, under normal circumstances, Xia Yu would invite the two old people to his house for dinner, and the two old people would walk back to their homes after dinner. But today's cold air in the car has shown that Zhang Shan and Xia Yu are in a very unhappy mood.
Although the two didn't know what was said between the two, it was obvious that the two were not right now. Xia Yu has always pretended to be deaf and dumb and didn't speak, Zhang Shan thought for a while and said: "Everyone is tired, just go to the small fried restaurant to eat casually, go home and have a good rest, I'm quite tired of playing these days." ”
After sending their in-laws home, the two ignored each other, and each lay in their respective rooms playing with their mobile phones. Xiaoyuan was watching cartoons in the living room alone, and the two started a cold war.
The Cold War lasted until the next morning, and Xia Yu did not have the leisure to get up as always, and made breakfast for Zhang Shan virtuously. Zhang Shan lay on the bed and didn't get up until half past seven, estimating that he wouldn't be able to eat breakfast this morning, so he went to work hungry. waited until after nine o'clock before Xia Yu got up lazily. When I got up, I found myself a little dizzy and dizzy, watching Xiao Yuan pour all the rice from home into the sink, as well as the dish soap on the floor of the living room. Xia Yu had a headache, found a medicine box and took a few pills, was irritable and cleaned up Xiaoyuan, and after handing over Xiaoyuan Zhang Shan's lunch to Zhang Gui Li Man, Xia Yu went home and fell asleep at home.
Xia Yu went home and dragged his drowsy head to clean up the mess in the living room and kitchen, cleaning up the garbage and mopping the floor, but the rice soaked in the sink, Xia Yu was really helpless, so let's do it first.
I opened all the windows to ventilate, closed most of the curtains, covered with a small towel, and lay down on the bed to rest.
After taking cold medicine, he was sleepy, after Xia Yu woke up from a groggy sleep, he saw that it was more than three o'clock in the afternoon, he took a warm bath with sweat, and cooked some mung bean porridge, although he still had some muddy heads, but his stomach was finally no longer hungry, Xia Yu made persistent efforts and took another piece of cold medicine, played with his mobile phone for a while, and fell asleep again.
In the dream, Xia Yu dreamed that he was standing on the podium, carrying Xiao Yuan in the back basket, he was lecturing seriously, and the students were also taking notes seriously, but Xiao Yuan in the back basket suddenly cried, and Xia Yu was embarrassed by Xiao Yuan's embarrassment. Xia Yu was really sad in his dream, irritable and depressed, and couldn't help but hug Xiao Yuan, who couldn't stop crying, and cried on the podium.
Xia Yu woke up with tears, touching the tears in the corners of his eyes, Xia Yu despised how he was so fragile in his dreams, he had been tempered for a long time over the years, and he had long been strong and invincible. Why is he so fragile in his dreams?
Xia Yu slumped on the bed and thought a lot, thinking the most was that women now, especially women who go to work to earn money, are really tired.
Many of my female colleagues are like this, really tired. A female colleague had just come to work when she was taken a fancy by a man, and the female colleague looked down on this man. But this man can't stand this thick-skinned man who will chase his wife, and he always pesters his female colleagues, and in the end he has to compromise.
The state of marriage is very good, but since having children, young in-laws are reluctant to help with children, and how much can my own man expect. The young female teacher is really working hard to support the child at home, and she really carries the child to work. After the child is studying, the female teacher will leave work a few minutes early every day and go home to cook for the child.
A woman can ignore a man's food, but she can't ignore a child born to herself. For the sake of her children, female colleagues have been working hard for more than ten years, and several times Xia Yu saw several bags of vegetables piled up next to the table of female colleagues.
This is forced by life, female colleagues often educate the little girls in the office, and when looking for a man in the future, we must see whether the in-laws are reliable, otherwise we will suffer for a lifetime, and she will have to earn money to support her family like a man in this life, and work like a housewife when she returns home. This society's treatment of women is really double tired. If she was given another choice, she felt that she would not choose her current husband.
Xia Yu thought about what happened to her female colleagues, thinking that she was at least very relaxed in the first few years, and her mother-in-law at least helped her take care of her children and help take care of her own life, but now her mother-in-law needs to recuperate, and Xia Yu and her female colleagues generally have to rely on themselves.
Xiaoyuan was born by himself, and he must be responsible for him, cultivate and take care of him well, as for giving birth to a second child, then he will only dig his own grave and suffer by himself.
