After having children, the pressure of life gradually increased, and the economy became more constrained. The old-fashioned eldest brother still has no stable job, the small grocery store has become the main source of income for the family, and her parents' dissatisfaction with him has increased.

Seeing his leisurely appearance every day, she was also a little anxious. She didn't want him to earn much money back, she felt that he would be depressed if he continued like this, and she hoped that he would have his own career.

He listened to her persuasion, lay on the wicker chair and smiled lazily, and she was even more annoyed to preach. When he saw that she was angry, he rubbed her head dotingly, still smiling lazily.

She couldn't help but roar: "Did you hear me? I'm not a three-year-old anymore, don't think you're going to fool things around by coaxing me. ”

He finally looked a little more serious, "I didn't want to fool you, you said that I don't have a stable job, I'll just find a job with a regular income." You say I'm not ambitious, my career has been very successful, I don't need to fight for anything. ”

"You've had a successful career?" She was really speechless, she really didn't expect him to be a person who bragged about the sky and didn't blush.

"I've been waiting to marry you, the first time we got together was a little too impulsive and hasty, but I'm afraid that if you miss the opportunity, you won't be able to belong to me anymore...... Fortunately, I finally got my wish. “

He said with a very deep expression that he was self-righteous and crooked: "Why should men work hard for their careers? This is just one of the manifestations of human animal sexuality, in order to have more opportunities to choose a mate. “

"They all fight so hard to have more choices and have more. What do I spell? With you by my side, and such a clever and lovely daughter, I have everything I want, and it's not successful? ”

He rarely looked affectionate, and she was moved to suddenly say such a long list of words with affection. Moved and weird, she told him about her career, how did he talk about this?

When he saw her eyes red and her expression a little puffed up, he knew what she was thinking.

He reclined back on the rattan chair, squinted his eyes at the sky, and said slowly, "You want me to prove my abilities to others, don't you?" Especially want your parents and loved ones to see what I'm capable of, right? I don't have much power, and it doesn't matter if they look down on me. ”

The good girl whispered: "I know that you know a lot of things, I don't want to watch you waste your life like this, your talent should not be buried." ”

He sat up straighter and moved out of his position for her to sit together, "This afternoon they took the little girl out to play, and we just had a good time to relax and enjoy the world of two." Alas, what do you want to do so much? I didn't feel wasted time, nor did I feel that my talent was buried, these two years were the most comfortable time in my more than 30 years of life. ”

Sometimes, she felt that she really couldn't communicate with him, and that his way of thinking was completely different from that of other people she had ever met. Even if she couldn't understand his way of thinking, she often persuaded him unconsciously.

She no longer argued with him about his career, and obediently snuggled up in the crook of his arm to sit with him.

After they moved here, they planted flowers and plants in the flower beds, and a begonia tree has not yet reached the time of flowering, but the curved tree shape is also quite interesting; There is also an octagonal golden plate with blue leaves; There is also a hibiscus that spits flower buds; What's even more prosperous is a large cluster of moon flowers that are blooming red. The courtyard is bright and beautiful in the autumn, and the smiles on their faces are quiet and peaceful.

It's just that his work problems still cause some small troubles in the family from time to time, she suggested that he go to the coast, and he lazily replied: "No, I can't be separated from you." Besides, I can't find a good job if I go. I didn't even finish junior high school, and no one would invite me. ”

He saw that she was under a lot of pressure in front of her parents, so he had to ask someone to find a job. Fortunately, the "double cultivation turmoil" of that year gradually subsided, and he was able to work in the Religious Affairs Bureau again. He's just an external consultant with a meager salary and no benefits, but it's a stable job.

She thought she could barely get by, but after attending several classmates' weddings in succession, she persuaded him to find another job.

She was the first among her classmates to get married, and her daughters were all in kindergarten, and her classmates got married one after another. When attending the wedding, the other classmates would talk about their significant other, and she never got involved in these topics, they were all curious about what her husband did.

She only vaguely said that she was an ordinary salaryman, and she didn't dare to say more, for fear that her classmates would mislead to bad things.

"What's so bad about that?" He blinked a little aggrievedly.

"There is a joke on the Internet, saying that it is a class reunion, student A proudly said that he was the director, student B was a little ashamed to say that he was the section chief, and student C said that he was the head of the road......"

He grinned blankly, she sighed and said: "The classmates laughed when they talked about this joke, but here I don't have a joke, it really becomes-classmate A said that her husband is the director, classmate B says that her husband is the section chief, I can only say that my husband is the chief......"

He hurriedly shook his head and corrected seriously: "I can't be regarded as a Dao Master, Dao Master is an honorific title for a Taoist who has officially become a monk and practice, and I am just assisting in the management of some materials......

"But in most people's eyes, they can't tell the difference!"

"Forget if you can't tell the difference, people don't live to let others distinguish clearly."

He always speaks with the key points she wants to say, originally talking about changing jobs, and talking has become a philosophical discussion of "what people live for".

She was so depressed that she wanted to be angry with him, but it turned out that he talked about a crooked reasoning and told her obediently.

The old-fashioned eldest brother doesn't wear a robe, but he wears a long-sleeved shirt, trousers, and cloth shoes in summer.

She asked him why he was so old-fashioned, like a little old man, and he was not too hot. He said that his heart was calm and cool, and he didn't like others to see him bare his arms and legs.

The good girl was glad that he wouldn't force her to dress it, he said there was no need to force it, anyway, she was quite conservative among women of the same age.

The good girl is conservative in her clothes, she never wears a sundress, but the reason she doesn't wear it is because she is afraid that others will laugh at her armpit hair. She has a lot of disagreements with his views, but over the years, some things have penetrated into the bone marrow and cannot be erased.

He said, "Parents who are exposed to the skin of the body should not be easily damaged", which made her feel guilty every time she had the idea of picking her armpit hair.

Her classmates sometimes encourage her, so they should be sexy and coquettish to see if he dares to do anything to her. She laughed and asked him, what would happen if she really dressed him like that? He said he wouldn't do anything to her, he would just gouge out the eyes of men who had seen her sexy and coquettish image.

She laughed so hard that it was just a little joke between husband and wife, and besides, she thought that her appearance had no seductive ability at all. never thought that there would be a day when she almost gouged out people's eyes.

Speaking of his old-fashioned personality, her classmates thought he would be very strict with her, but in fact, he never asked her where she was going and what she was doing. Sometimes her parents are in charge of her, and he will help her cover up.

When the crowd was not crowded when he went out, he took her hand. She asked him if he was afraid to see acquaintances when there were too many people, and he felt embarrassed to hold her.

"What's so embarrassing about holding your wife's hand? When there are too many people, I am afraid that you will get lost, and standing behind you can see the surrounding environment clearly to prevent accidents. “

"Shouldn't you hold hands when there are a lot of people?"

He curled the corners of his lips and smiled, "You always think that when there are many people, you have to pull and pull so that you will not separate, in fact, in that case, when you encounter an emergency, you will panic as soon as your hand is loosened, but it is most likely to make mistakes in a hurry." ”

Whether he takes the subway or goes to the mall, as long as there are stairs, he will never take the escalator. Often crowds of people crowded on the elevators, he climbed the stairs slowly alone. He said that mechanical things are not safe in short, and if you can rely less on machinery, you will rely less on them.

She dismisses his crooked reasoning, and once saw an elevator accident with her own eyes. At the entrance of the subway station, the escalator was crowded with people, and a passenger's suitcase squeezed down and slid down. The suitcase knocked down a little boy of two or three years old, and the little boy rolled down crying......

Everyone panicked, and as soon as he reached the middle of the stairs, he ran down the stairs quickly, calmly pressed the brake button, and the elevator stopped.

He jumped into the crowd and picked up the boy. Others said that fortunately he did it in time, and the child only scratched his hands and knees, and did not get stuck in the gap of the elevator and caused serious injuries.

The security personnel rushed to deal with the follow-up matters and told the crowd about some safety incidents. In those accidents, the cases of death and disability gave her a chill down her spine, and since then she has tried to take the elevator as little as possible, and she has to be as careful as possible when she has to take it.

When she got home, she told him that she had reached the top exit and turned to look at the scene of him saving people, and thought he was quite heroic.

He met her adoring gaze, and did not have the slightest smug expression, but asked worriedly, "If you find out one day that I am not only not a hero, but also a demon, will you leave me?" ”
