Chapter 11: Formalin Chicken Feet
Xia Yu remembered that he once saw a post, a happy family of four in the eyes of outsiders, the husband has been earning money outside to support the family, and the wife has two children. One day, the husband came home and was surprised to find that his wife had committed suicide with her two children drinking medicine. The husband and in-laws were very surprised and angry, and the others were puzzled and discussed, thinking that this woman was too vicious to find trouble, and they couldn't think of pulling the two children to seek death.
When everyone else was scolding this stupid and stupid pig-like woman, only Xia Yu and the other mothers understood that this mother who was looking for death must be suffering from severe depression, in fact, although Xia Yu has not been depressed since she gave birth to Xiaoyuan, she is always a little depressed and bored when welcoming the arrival of a new life. Women are already very depressed when they live in their in-laws' house, and after giving birth to a child, the joy is even more accompanied by depression.
Xia Yu thought that this mother must have been very depressed, and after giving birth to her second child, she was even more depressed, so she chose to die like this. In the comment section of the news report, you are divided into two groups, and the men scold this woman for being ignorant and dead-eyed. The women lamented the sadness of the children.
One of the mothers who gained transparency said: Women have to learn to be selfish, and it is enough to have one experience of being a mother, and having a second child is self-inflicted.
Xia Yu and the other women agreed. Women have to learn to be selfish and love themselves, there is already a child who is tied to her heart and suppresses her own discomfort, raising a child has to take off a layer of skin, why do you have to ask for hardship again.
Xia Yu finished feeling it, got up and cooked himself a bowl of rice balls, and ate it slowly. Eating rice balls, Xia Yu suddenly heard the sound of fingerprint lock verification opening the door.
Xia Yu continued to eat glutinous rice balls and watch TV series, watching Zhang Shan enter the door to change his shoes. Zhang Shan sat on the sofa and asked, "Are you getting better with a cold now?" ”
Xia Yu nodded: "After taking two pills, it is already much better." You should have had dinner, right? ”
Zhang Shan nodded: "I have already eaten it at my mother's place, and Xiaoyuan wants to go for a walk with his grandparents at night, so I didn't bring it back." ”
Xia Yu nodded, and after eating, he lay down for a while and went to wash the dishes. Seeing that it was already more than nine o'clock, Xia Yu was playing with his mobile phone for a while, preparing to sleep, and when he was about to continue taking cold medicine, Zhang Shan stopped: "Just eat two, don't eat more if you have a cold." ”
Xia Yu decided to accept the advice of professionals, and at night Xia Yu was lying reading a novel on his phone, and Zhang Shan slept next to Xia Yu in pajama pants. I don't know why, Xia Yu felt that this strange feeling was amazing. Once this bedroom witnessed the first fiery and lingering first marriage life of the two, and now when her husband took advantage of the child's absence to sleep in the bed that belonged to him, Xia Yu actually felt a little ironic and strange, and even a little unaccustomed.
Xia Yu has always known that there is a rumor that couples will divorce sooner or later when they sleep in separate beds, and the feelings of couples who sleep in separate beds will become weaker and weaker. But in order to take care of Xiaoyuan, Xia Yu and Zhang Shan were very tired from work, so the two developed the habit of sleeping in separate rooms. Sometimes when Xiaoyuan pesters Zhang Shan to sleep together, Xia Yu enjoys the feeling of being alone and freely occupying a big bed, and he can sleep as he wants. Don't worry about Zhang Shan grabbing most of the quilts, and don't have to touch Xiaoyuan in the middle of the night in a daze, whether the quilt is covered and whether it is cold?
The two of them were covered with the same thin air-conditioned quilt like this, with pillows and backs to their mobile phones, and there was no verbal communication between the two, nor did they care about each other, and they simply felt that they regarded each other as air.
Playing until eleven o'clock, Xia Yu threw away his mobile phone to sleep in strict accordance with the rules of work and rest, glanced at Zhang Shan's mobile phone, and was still looking at the new model that was relatively unfamiliar to Xia Yu.
Xia Yu looked at Zhang Shan and was fascinated, so he continued to sleep in silence. Zhang Shan was on the side, more or less for Xia Yu, affecting the speed of falling asleep. Xia Yu had no choice but to remain motionless and let his thoughts fly.
Xia Yu remembered that he used to often check the SMS and WeChat QQ conversations on Zhang Shan's mobile phone, and take a targeted look at Zhang Shan's deposit limit. Later, since Xia Yu was bored with Zhang Shan, he was annoyed and didn't bother to supervise. Almost because Zhang Shan often picks at Xia Yu from time to time and picks bones in eggs, the nature of the poisonous tongue makes Xia Yu ignore Zhang Shan and directly treat him as a transparent person.
Xia Yu thought that as long as he had contact with Zhang Shan, he would have a very high opinion of Zhang Shan, but only his family, especially Xia Yu, knew Zhang Shan's selfish, lazy, poisonous tongue, stubborn and arrogant nature very well.
Xia Yu didn't want to think about Zhang Shan's nature as a venomous man in front of his former gentleman's wife. Xia Yu continued to think about his and Zhang Shan's hobbies, Xia Yu likes fitness, swimming, etc., so the skin is a normal and healthy complexion, but it does not meet Zhang Shan's aesthetics of women. often criticized Xia Yu's skin, Xia Yu replied arrogantly: "The lifestyle of the old lady and the old lady has never been prepared separately for your private order, you don't try to transform me, I am me, if you don't accept it, forget it, shut up the old lady." ”
Compared with Xia Yu's love of fitness, Zhang Shan is a weak chicken in Xia Yu's eyes. Xia Yu also knew that this was caused by Zhang Shanxing's hard work and lazy life. Zhang Shan dislikes Xia Yu's complexion, but he likes Xia Yu's figure very much. After giving birth to a child, Xia Yu was more slender and slimmer than when he got married, which also made Zhang Shan more face-saving before his colleagues.
Although Xia Yu dislikes Zhang Shan's so-called white chicken physique, he also likes Zhang Shan's face, after all, because he married Zhang Shan, he directly improved Xiaoyuan's genes, and Xia Yu never regretted this.
But as married life continues, Xia Yu has discovered a huge gap between the two. Xia Yu is optimistic and positive, but he is a little careless, anxious, and wide-hearted, likes to see the best side in everything, likes to read novels, watch TV, and likes to eat all kinds of snacks.
And Zhang Shan is a man, although he is also calm and meticulous
Steady has no bad habits, but his temperament is relatively gloomy, except for watching stocks and models and playing Douyin, there are almost no special hobbies. I don't like to eat all kinds of snacks outside, and I think that all kinds of food outside are very dirty. Always judge from a professional point of view, always see the worst in everything.
The two are almost at odds with each other on this point. Xia Yu once ate pickled pepper chicken feet with relish, enjoying the spicy, fragrant and exciting deliciousness. Unexpectedly, Zhang Shan, who was sitting next to him, was very disgusted and said blandly: "It's all formalin." ”
Xia Yu actually remembered what Zhang Shan said about the freshly waiting corpses in the basement of the medical school's anatomy room in the pool soaked in formalin for research, and instantly lost his appetite, ran to the bathroom and vomited, losing interest in the delicious chicken feet with soaked feet. For a long period of time, he was insensitive to pickled pepper chicken feet, and at the same time hated Zhang Shan, who had a poisonous tongue and straight male cancer.
A few months later, Xia Yu became interested in pickled pepper chicken feet again, once again forgot the scars and disgusting memories, and when he was happily eating pickled pepper chicken feet, Zhang Shan, who was sitting next to him, wanted to speak, but Xia Yu immediately stopped: "You only have the qualifications to remain silent now, and I don't want to hear everything you say." Don't talk, or you wash your underwear stinky socks yourself. ”
After the threat was issued, Zhang Shan muttered a little depressedly: "People just want to eat one." ”
Xia Yu seemed to have heard some crazy words, looking up and down, left and right, looking at Zhang Shan, looking at Zhang Shan's intention to take away the pickled pepper chicken feet in his hand, Xia Yu's gentleman took revenge for half a year, and directly refused: "Formalin is soaked and dirty, you don't want to eat it." ”
Then he continued to eat alone in front of Zhang Shan with relish, and the gluttonous insects in Zhang Shan's stomach screamed restlessly, looking at the ruthless Xia Yu with great resentment.
Thinking of the beauty of the past, Xia Yu couldn't help but upturn the corners of his mouth, squinting his eyes and laughing. Zhang Shan saw Xia Yu's expression in the dim light, smiled, put down his phone, approached Xia Yu and hugged Xia Yu to sleep.
The next morning, Xia Yu was still sleeping in a daze, feeling the weight on his body pressing up, and the whole bed collapsed, Xia Yu had to open his blurry eyes and look at the rare light in Zhang Shan's eyes......
At noon, Xia Yu didn't take Xiaoyuan back, he was playing happily with his grandparents, Xia Yu also enjoyed cleanliness and freedom, so he was playing with his mobile phone and watching TV at home, and suddenly Zhang Shan called: "At noon, I can cook some mung bean porridge, Xiaoyuan is not at home today, I ordered a grilled fish with chopped peppers, and finally we eat grilled fish." ”
Xia Yu was very happy to hear this, feeling that saliva was already secreting in his mouth, remembering the fragrance of grilled fish, he nodded happily. At noon, Zhang Shan came back with a baking tray, Xia Yu smelled the aroma of grilled fish, and hurriedly served the food. The grilled fish with chopped pepper is spicy and spicy, but it is too spicy. Because of the children, the food in the house is unusually light, and the mouth is uncomfortable. Xia Yu eats a bite of spicy grilled fish, then drinks a sip of watermelon juice, and eats a spoonful of mung bean porridge. Continue to fight again with spicy chopped pepper fish.
Xia Yu was eating spicy grilled fish, drinking watermelon juice mung bean porridge to reduce the fire, while the spicy green snot was busy wiping, and his face was also spicy and red, Xia Yu couldn't help asking: "Are you ordering medium spicy or extra spicy, I feel that I am about to ascend to heaven, I don't think I am an authentic Sichuan stomach." ”
Zhang Shan calmed down a lot, without Xia Yu's exaggeration, and replied lightly: "I don't know, but it's just that the grilled fish with chopped peppers is more fragrant, and the others are not flavorful enough, so I thought that Xiaoyuan didn't come back, let's have a good taste of spicy addiction." ”
Xia Yu ate konjac chips and said: "The last time I ate such a spicy thing was before Xiaoyuan was born, I went to an Internet celebrity shop under the ancient city wall in Xi'an with my colleagues to eat dry pot, that place is spicy and spicy, I was a Sichuan girl who ate snot, drank three bottles of Wang Laoji and used five boxes of toilet paper, you don't know that the toilet paper in Xi'an is not like us here to use casually, but you have to charge money."
Our group didn't spend much money on food, but Wang Laoji and paper towels cost a lot, that time was a refreshing insight for me, I never thought that the people in Xi'an could eat so spicy. ”
