Chapter Twenty-Four: The Estrangement of the Sinking Years
In the afternoon, the sky was still covered with gray clouds, through which the pale green sky could occasionally be seen, and the raindrops falling in the sky were not as urgent as yesterday, but like small beads of misty stars that were lightly traced by the wind.
Two fluttering birds landed on the long branches of a plant in the uncle's yard, and the feathers of one of the birds at the tail feathers showed a pearlescent sapphire blue, which was particularly eye-catching, and they were probably hungry, and took advantage of the light rain, so they came out to find some insects or fruits to eat as food.
The parrot that the uncle raised hanging on the balcony was eating leisurely, after seeing the two birds flying, he couldn't help but be restless, it paced back and forth on the beam, and from time to time looked at the two birds that jumped up and down between the branches swaying in the wind, and the bird with only blue tail feathers also seemed to notice the restless parrot, it cautiously approached the parrot a few steps, turned its head lightly, and then chirped a few times crisply and tactfully, Qinglu'er seemed to hear a very beautiful song, I couldn't help but admire in my heart: "What a beautiful singing, how long this throat is, it's amazing!" ”
The uncle seemed to be attracted by the gentle singing, and as he walked out of the courtyard from the living room, he just caught a glimpse of two birds, which fanned away gracefully with their wings because of a stranger.
The uncle looked at the birds in the distance and sighed, "Now even the birds are in pairs." ”
The parrot raised by the uncle could not speak yet, but when he saw the two birds fly away, he also cried out twice.
The uncle walked up to the parrot and said to it, "The little one looks at others in pairs, flying like wings, and you feel lonely!" It's time to introduce you to a girlfriend.
When Qing Lu'er heard her uncle's speech, she looked at her uncle in surprise and said, "Are you sure the parrot wants a girlfriend?" ”
"Yes!"
As soon as the uncle's words fell, he heard a knock on the door outside the courtyard gate.
"Qinglu'er, are you at home? I'm Xiaoyuwu'er, and I'm looking for you. ”
"Oh! In, in. Qinglu'er ran to open the door for Xiao Yuwu'er while replying.
Qinglu'er opened the gate of the courtyard and saw Xiao Yuwu'er standing there holding a black umbrella.
"Qinglu'er! I'll pick you up, and you can accompany me to the psychiatrist. ”
"Hmmm! Good! You just told me on the smart box that you came over, but I didn't expect it to come so quickly. ”
"I'm not from home, I'm not ......from home, I just went through the divorce procedures with Gui Zhi, and the marriage registry office I went to is relatively close to you."
"Oh! All right! Let's go now! ”
Qinglu'er turned to her uncle standing next to her and said, "I'll go out with my friends." I bought some things on the smart box for you, and I may mail some today, so remember to receive it! ”
"Hmmm! Good! I'll take it! Go over to you! ”
The uncle looked at Qinglu'er and his friend's car driving away from the house, he still stood outside for a while, and couldn't help but say to himself: "Why did you get divorced?" ”
When Qingluer and Xiaoyuwuer walked to the office building where the "Er'an Psychological Studio" was located, the familiar sign of "Er'an" came into her eyes again.
The layout of the "Er'an Psychological Studio" is very similar to the layout of Qingluer's singles club, except that there are not so many corridors here, and verdant plants and beautiful flowers are still scattered in all corners of the office building.
Qingluer accompanied Xiao Yu Wu'er into the psychological reception room, and Xiao Yu Wu'er's exclusive psychiatrist received them with a kind and friendly smile.
Under Xiaoyu Wu'er's active suggestion, Qinglu'er did not avoid this counseling, but sat next to her and listened.
"I went yesterday to meet the prisoners who murdered my father, my father, because I lost my parents when I was 3 years old, and I grew up under my mother-in-law, my father's father.
My father has been sick intermittently since I went to the 'first education', and he left this world not long after I entered the 'higher education'.
I often wonder what my life would have been like if my father had never left me, and I had grown up with my father's love and companionship. Am I going to be less aggressive? And whether you will get a lot of guidance on marriage?
Mother told me that Mother Mother and Elder Mother loved each other very much when they were young, and they especially cherished me as a daughter. The reason why I am called Xiaoyuwuer is because I like to cry when I was born, and I can't hear many noisy sounds in my sleep, and the sound is a little louder. I would wake up from my dream and cry.
Whenever I slept, my father would whisper softly, until he developed a habit. Whenever I was there, he couldn't help but lower his voice. Later, he smiled and said to Mu Chang, "Why don't we call our daughter's name Xiaoyuwu'er!" The baby is too petite, talk to her softly, don't let her cry, and protect her well. That's my name
............" Xiao Yu Wu'er said this, falling into a deep sadness, her tears slid down her cheeks, Qing Lu'er saw this and hurriedly walked over and handed a tissue to Xiao Yu Wu'er.
Xiao Yu Wu'er took the tissue and cried bitterly for a while, Qing Lu'er sat next to her, patted her shoulder, and after a while, Xiao Yu Wu'er adjusted her mood, wiped her tears and said:
"I have known the difficulties of the world since I was a child, and slowly I began to face a lot of turmoil, as well as the loneliness and loss in my heart, I no longer cry because of a small thing or a small life, I began to make myself stronger, stronger and stronger.
I wanted to use my ability to protect everything I wanted to protect, and the more I clutched many things, the more I clenched them, the more I lost both.
Before coming today, my husband and I went through the divorce procedures, and the friendship of more than ten years has come to a complete end.
If we could each take a step back and manage this marriage well, we might not be facing the same outcome as we are today!
Since his derailment, I have always chosen forbearance and secret revenge. Since then I've been more and more neurotic, I don't believe in a lot of things, even if it's credible.
I want to get out of life's troubles. I want to believe in a lot of things again, I want to maybe I can relax my wrist and win some peace and ease......"
“……”
“……”
Qinglu'er accompanied Xiao Yuwu'er to complete today's psychological appointment and walked out of the "Er'an Psychological Studio", the hazy light rain in the sky had stopped, and the sparse breeze blew the earth, and also blew away the large dark clouds in the sky. Qing Lu'er looked at the bright and clear green sky, and began to think about the meaning of life in her heart again, she thought with hope: "I hope that Xiao Yuwu'er can finally become what she wants to be." ”
Qing Luer drove Xiao Yu Wu'er's "A+ smart car" back to her home, and Qing Lu'er had dinner with Xiao Yu Wu'er and her family and assistant.
After finishing the meal, Xiao Yu Wu'er chatted with Qing Lu'er for a while, and then Xiao Yu Wu'er arranged for an assistant to send Qing Lu'er to her home.
When Qinglu'er returned to her uncle's house, her uncle was there
Pots of plants are tended in the yard.
"Qinglu'er, are you back, have you eaten?"
"I've eaten it."
"I have some more flowering and fruiting plants. When these plants grow up, you can send some to your friends who are here today. ”
"Oh! Good! ”
"I heard your friend speak today, is she divorced?"
"Oh! …… There is such a thing! ”
"Alas! Why are you getting divorced? ”
"Other people's private affairs, why do you ask so much?"
"Does she have a baby?"
"I have a son."
"Awarded to whom?"
"It's been sentenced to my friend."
"What does your friend do?"
"I found out why you have so many problems? Huh! Huh! That's not right! You...... Do you have any thoughts about my friend? ”
"Well! Anyway, your friend is also divorced, and I'm single too, I ......"
"Stop! I said why are you so attentive! The person who sent flowers and plants was thinking about my friend? ”
"Heartbeat! Uncle I don't want to lie to you, I really moved after I met your friend. ”
"O my God! What nonsense are you talking about? Qing Lu'er held her forehead with her hand, her face scorched: "That's my friend!" Rabbits don't eat the grass next to the nest, you have to be a doorman, right! It's good to say! There are so many differences in your two ages, occupations, and family backgrounds, don't you be funny, okay? ”
"Huh! It's exciting! I'm measured! I don't allow others to be tempted yet. ”
"Oh......" Qing Lu'er held her forehead and sighed helplessly.
Qinglu'er stood in the courtyard, feeling a little cold in the night, and when she turned around to go to the bedroom to put on an extra dress, she couldn't help but see two parrots sleeping on the shelves under the balcony.
"Huh! Why is there an extra parrot? ”
"I bought it! How good it is to come in pairs. Don't be alone. ”
"Uncle, I've noticed that you've changed a lot recently, and you're different from the gentle, elegant, subtle and graceful uncle when you were a child, and now you feel a little blunt and debauched."
"Really? That's how it should be. Do you always miss the past? Have you been grieving because of nostalgia? It's nearly dusk, and now I've seen everything. No matter how graceful it is, life is going to be over, love and hate happily, enjoy life, and make a graceful appointment. ”
"Good...... Let's do it! It's okay if you can be happy! After Qing Lu'er finished speaking, she was urged by the cold to add clothes upstairs.
In the early morning, the warm light fell on Qinglu'er's bedside, and the crisp birdsong outside the courtyard woke Qinglu'er who was sleeping soundly, and she sat up with a yawn.
She procrastinated to change her clothes and was about to go downstairs for breakfast, when the "right one" began to jingle and rang, and then read: "Twilight Cher sent a voice message." ”
"Connected." Qinglu'er said.
"Qinglu'er! Are you in 'W City Network now'? ”
"That's right!"
"I came to the 'W City Network' yesterday to investigate, and I am free today, is it convenient to meet? Where do you live, I'll visit you. ”
"Okay! I'll send the address......" Qinglu'er was saying this, and a fantastic scene appeared in her eyes: Twilight Xue'er looked back and smiled, charming and lovely, and her uncle's eyes straightened, and she couldn't help but admire her heart, thinking about it for a while, and she couldn't sleep at night.
"Hmmm! No...... Still is... I'll go find you! ”
"Okay! I'm going to make an appointment to understand thanks. Yun Jin to see if she is free, let's get together for a while. ”
"Understood. Yun Jin! Oh! Waves! Calling her another name, I didn't react for a moment. You ask her if she has time, and if she has time, we can make an appointment to get together. ”
"Hmmm! I'll hang up first, I'll go and thank you. Yun Jin made a phone call. ”
"Okay!"
After hanging up the phone, Qinglu'er couldn't help but think in her heart: "Twilight Xue'er also happened to be divorced, if the uncle looked at the right eye again" Thinking of this, she couldn't help but shake her head and said: "Don't dare to think about it!" Don't dare to think! ”
After Qinglu'er finished washing, she received a text message from Twilight Xue'er: "Qinglu'er! Understand. Yun Jin has time today, but she has to attend a party in the morning, and she can hang out with us in the afternoon. I'm fine in the morning, I'll go to the party with her, I'll send you the location of our morning meeting place later, if you can come in the morning, you can come to us at this address. ”
"Okay! I'm fine this morning, I'm going to look for you! ”
After Qinglu'er finished breakfast and said goodbye to her uncle, she called an online taxi and went to the place where Langlang and Twilight Xue'er were partying.
When Qinglu'er arrived, the meeting at the meeting point was almost over, and everyone had dispersed after singing the last song.
"Twilight Cher! Waves! I'm here! Qinglu'er waved at the two friends who sat up not far away.
Twilight Xue'er and the waves on the side walked towards Qinglu'er.
"You're done, it looks like I'm late, are you happy with today's party? It's the first time I've been to a party like this. ”
"I'm not happy, forget it, so be it! It's just right that you're late. Lang Lang replied.
"Understood. Yun Jin, wait a minute. The party leader in the distance shouted at them.
Lang Lang heard someone call her, looked back, and showed a rather impatient look.
The man who shouted came towards them, followed by two or three men and women, and when he came to Lang Lang, the man said, "Yes. Yun Jin! Do you have any doubts about refuting the lessons of the Book of the Covenant today? I can answer it for you. ”
"Humph!" Lang Lang snorted coldly and said, "I'm busy, I have something to do with my friends, I'm leaving now." ”
"Oops! Young people, don't be too frivolous! I still have to have a life of obedience! Obedience will be blessed by Him. A middle-aged woman next to the party leader said.
Another slightly younger gentleman next to the party leader hurriedly ran to the pantry and poured three cups of tea, and then he quickly came over with a tray and said to the waves: "Please drink tea, if you are not in a hurry, you can listen to the leader tell you about His words and His will." ”
"Don't come into this disgusting posture, what can you say? It's nothing more than making me obey! Agree with your views on marriage and succumb to your stereotyped dogmas.
You can't get a divorce after domestic violence, why don't you go and beat them every time!
Regardless of the true state of the heart, the outward appearance must also bear the mark of obedience. This is not to say that your inside is secondary, you have to have enough face, and your face has to be blameless.
Men have to be the head, and men have decision-making power. Some party leaders are stubborn and don't have much knowledge for their own use, and their decision-making is sparse, and the things they have done are sparse, don't you think you can't do it? Such incompetence is not ashamed! I'm ashamed of you!
A woman who has been raped must not have a baby, and the man who has been raped snickered secretly, and the person who gave birth to someone who is better looking and better than you finally has no better fate than you. You can't have a baby, you can raise it! You will be a lifelong helper! You've taken on the subconscious sense of shame! You are high up and give only one word, but others have to bear the whole life alone.
You have stipulated that you can't do this, you can't do that, you have to do this, you have to do that.
The law is added to the law, and the order is added to the order.
For the commands are just, just, and loving.
You have changed a little subjectively here, and you have made a little bit of sacrifice there, but the original order has become tortuous, and it has become a sharp sword that hurts people. If you think that following the rules is faithful to Him, and that no one else is as faithful as you, why don't you ask the people you have hurt what kind of life they are living now?
You have laid hard burdens on men, and you are blind in your so-called obedience, and do you expect to blind those whom you lead? Do you think that you are diligent in your work for Him, diligent in your work for Him, or diligent in the servitude of His chosen people who tame His chosen people with high words?
One thing that cannot be reconciled with you is wrong, and no one else can enter the kingdom of the future, but you can enter. What a chosen person you are! If you are bright, no one else will shine.
I'm not obedient today, how about it? Shouldn't you thank me? It is my disobedience that has led you to find the superiority of obedience.
Don't you want to tame me? I will not be tamed by you!
I don't know if he is righteous or not,
If there is righteousness under the sun.
I'm right, I'm right.
Yours are yours.
I'm wrong and I'm wrong.
Your fault is yours.
Not by your words, but we will see! Before leaving, I will tell you a secret by the way: "Lang Lang turned his head to today's gathering to lead the humane: "You said, you are clean, you never smoke, and your family or guests who come to your house, you don't let them smoke." Hehe! I tell you, clean and self-conscious, that just a few days ago I saw your son squatting on the side of the road, smoking very skillfully. Bye! ”
After Qinglu'er walked out of the party point with the waves, she didn't look back at the embarrassed and angry expressions of the party leader.
When Qinglu'er and Twilight Xue'er got into Langlang's car, Langlang turned back to them and said, "Alas! I'm going to show you the joke today. ”
Twilight said, "I saw their jokes, and I always thought these meetings were holy and cleansed. Looking at it today, why is this the case? People choose to remain silent in the face of unfair rules and dogmas, and silence is also called obedience. They feel that they are far-sighted in their hearts, but they do not show it on the surface, but show a kind of hypocritical humility. It makes me feel like everything is weird. ”
"What the hell happened today?" Qinglu'er asked.
"I can't finish a sentence or two, anyway, it's just a group of people who think they are right, changing you according to dogmas and procedures, making you a numb and impersonal person, without the ability to think independently, unrealistic, and will not contradict them."
"This kind of party, just hide." Qinglu'er said.
"I haven't been here for a long time, the party point has contacted me many times on the smart box, and also contacted Roujia to persuade me, I came once, but I didn't expect it to be on the bar again."
"Roujia, do you often meet here?"
"Once in a while! There are many places where she gathers, this is a meeting point introduced by Roujia's schoolgirl, and it is said that it is according to the covenant, although it talks about grace and forgiveness, but it is also mostly about living a life with rules.
Nowadays, even in formal places, this is mostly the case, and although they come to the stage with the covenant, the content of the speech is either too much or less than it is written! What age is it, but the old-fashioned and flawed ones are still the same.
Roujia is a little better...! Not as deviant as I am. I once asked her, 'Is this really all right?' ’
She asked rhetorically, 'Are these people really all wrong?' ’
Roujia also disagrees with these dogmatic rules, maybe she has been forced for a long time and slowly got used to it! You don't know that my cousin, who is a few months older than her, has gone even further than me! Alas! Don't talk about this?
There are a few mutinies, and there are only a few good seedlings left, and they have to be squeezed and cultivated. Anyway, they don't like me, and I don't listen to their views and values about marriage. ”
"I can understand some of your feelings, and I've been through such high-pressure authorities. When I was in 'first teaching', I had a young love, and my father and mother also invited me to be an adolescent educational psychologist because of this incident, and his best-selling book "How to Correctly Guide the Psychological Growth of Adolescents", in which there is a case written based on me.
Later, my sister and I were advised to go to the 'Women's Higher Education', and I thought about it when I grew up. The so-called authoritative counseling at the time. Is it really good for us? Whether this childish and simple feeling of teenagers really needs to be rigidly and forcibly stopped.
I always feel that the 'women's higher education' has had some emotional influence on my sister, although these influences seem very vague now, but there is always a kind of debt in my heart that has affected my sister. ”
"It turns out that the controversial bestseller still contains your story, I really didn't expect you to have this experience." Twilight said in surprise.
"Well, that's right!" Qing Lu'er replied with a wry smile.
"Alas! I am reminded of what Lang Lang just said: 'Why don't you ask the people they hurt what kind of life they are living now'. At the time, I thought she was very hazy when she said this, but now that I hear your recollections, I really feel that I really want to ask you parties.
When I was a child, I thought the world was simple and beautiful! But the more I grew up, the more complicated I felt about the world. Emotions alone can disturb people's minds, plus some other rules and regulations, how can it be burdened! I think life is still a little more open-minded and free-spirited. Twilight sighed.
"Yes! Look a little away. I have experienced a lot of entanglements! Twist it! It's all slowly passing. It's just that now I still sigh when I think of some of the effects that my past mistakes may have on my sister. ”

There are so many places to play and a lot to say when three friends meet, so I won't go into too much detail here, and we'll see you in the next chapter.
