On the log table, a fast food box containing leftovers, a long-necked blue vase, a few peanuts, and an alarm clock are placed haphazardly, looking messy.

The bouquet of flowers in the blue vase was as beautiful as thousands of danxia!

It was carefully chosen by Bai Meimei for her birthday! It is also the only thing in Bai Meimei's room that smells of birthdays.

It was her 35th birthday a few days ago!

No greetings, no gifts, as boring as a normal workday, no one remembers, except herself.

Mom and Dad never remember birthdays, their family doesn't have this habit, the child is still young, not sensible, who else can remember!

Yang Yuanshan?

If he could remember her birthday, the sun would come out in the west!

is also a woman, Xu Aqi can receive a beautiful and expensive red dress from her boyfriend Lin Chen even on her birthday, thinking that Xu Aqi is spoiled by her boyfriend, happiness and happiness are beyond words, Bai Meimei is so envious!

This may be what love and marriage should look like!

In fact, many women care about their birthdays very much, and Bai Meimei is no exception.

On this day, they will feel as if they are a year older, the years are gone, the youth is passing, it is an indescribable feeling of cherishing spring.

This feeling tends to come especially strongly on this day!

It's like someone carved it with a knife on a smooth arm, and it hurts, so you have to remember, oh, another year old!

Sometimes this feeling is accompanied by bitterness, which needs to be diluted by flowers, greetings, cakes, noodles, candlelight, wine, gifts, especially if these dilutions come from the person she cares about.

The tip of Bai Meimei's nose was a little sour, she took the boiled clear water noodles, picked one up with chopsticks, and put it back, Suo Xing put down the bowl, nested herself in the sofa, and looked at the flowers in a daze.

These flowers, all withered, wilted!

It's no longer the original splendor, and it's no longer worth mentioning!

Bai Meimei, who is 35 years old, has tasted the real isolation and helplessness in her life, the old and the young, when she reaches middle age, she has become the heaven of the family after being abducted by others.

There are so many things to think about, and so many things to do for her!

At home, in the supermarket, for the elderly, for children!

Every day, every minute, every corner can have new problems!

When the lights go out, you need to change the bulb, the toilet is leaking, the parent-child meeting in the child's kindergarten, the blood pressure medicine for the dad, the purchase channel of the supermarket, the newly opened competitors, and how to promote to retain customers, the wages of employees to be paid, and the bank loans to be repaid.

For a while, the pressure was so great that Bai Meimei was a little out of breath, pretending to be strong to support the fragility of her heart, which was not pleasant.

She's so tired!

Bai Meimei leaned back tiredly, picked up the remote control in her hand and turned on the TV, boringly switching TV channels back and forth, and finally she stopped.

Flowers and flowers are flying all over the sky, who has mercy on the red incense?

The gossamer is soft and fluttering spring pavilion, and the flocculent is lightly stained with the embroidery curtain?

The poignant piece of the TV series "Dream of Red Mansions" played on TV seemed to touch her heart.

She stood up, took a bottle of French bred from the cupboard, poured herself a full glass, held the glass in front of her eyes, shook it slightly, and looked at the dark red juice in the transparent long-legged glass, like blood.

She threw her head back and drank it all.

Then, I poured another glass and drank it again.

It seemed to be windy outside, making the window crackle, Bai Meimei got up and closed the window, but her arm accidentally touched the wine bottle on the table.

With a "pop", the wine bottle fell to the ground, and the room was suddenly filled with the smell of wine.

Bai Meimei did not clean up immediately, but walked into the study, opened the drawer of the desk in annoyance, she found the paper and pen, sat down, pursed her lips, calmed her mood, and solemnly wrote the words "divorce agreement" on the paper with a pen.

"Ding Dong" someone rang the doorbell.

Bai Meimei put down the pen, swayed out and opened the door to see that it was Tongtong and Grandma.

"What a house full of wine! You're drinking again? Drink less, drinking too much of this stuff is not good for your health! How old are they! Still won't take care of themselves! I can't help it! ”

Grandma entered the door, took off Tongtong's coat, and hung it on the hanger.

"It's okay, the wine spilled, no, I'm about to clean up!"

Bai Meimei said, taking out a broom and dustpan from the kitchen next to her.

"Why are you here?"

"Tongtong said that I miss you! I stewed pork ribs, and bought some food from the supermarket by the way, and brought some to you, look at the broken glass slag here, you two have to be careful! Don't paddle yourself! ”

The old lady put the bag in her hand on the table and saw the flowers on the table at a glance.

"The flowers in this vase have withered like this, why don't you throw them away! It's not good to have dead flowers in your home! ”

The old lady chattered, took the withered flowers out of the bottle with one hand, and sniffed the vase with her nose.

"Tsk! The water stinks, how are you spending your day! ”

"Really? Busy, I don't care! ”

Bai Meimei took out the cup from the cupboard and poured water for the two of them.

"Teacher Chen of Tongtong Kindergarten said, our sponsorship fee has not been paid, haven't you received the notice from the kindergarten?"

"Oh, got it, just got it!"

"Teacher Chen said, it's just the cost of our family's Tongtong, and everyone else's family has paid it, so hurry up and pay it! Don't keep urging people! ”

"Yes!"

The old lady threw the whole bouquet of flowers into the garbage can, picked up a tissue from the table, wiped her hands, and looked at Bai Meimei.

"Huh! Meimei, you have gray hair! ”

"It's been there for a long time! There are people in their twenties! I dye it too, but you didn't find out! ”

"That's a lot! Is it because of the pressure? ”

Bai Meimei brushed her hair lightly and muttered, "It's okay, there are more people with white hair at a young age now!" ”

"If you can let Yang Yuanshan get it, let him get it! You don't have to work too hard, you don't have to! ”

"Oh!"

Tongtong ran into the kitchen and found a cup of yogurt from the refrigerator.

"Just took it out of the refrigerator, don't drink it yet, it's too cold, you'll drink it badly!"

Bai Meimei snatched the yogurt from Tongtong's hand.

"I just want it, I want to drink it!" Tongtong shouted willfully, and when he saw that Bai Meimei didn't give it, he simply sat on the ground.

"If Dad was here, Dad wouldn't let me drink it! Mommy Bad! ”

"My little ancestor! How can you sit on the ground! There's broken glass on the ground, get up! The clothes were washed in vain! Bai Meimei said angrily.

"I don't! Unless you give me the yogurt! ”

"Tongtong!"

Grandma saw that there were still a few oranges on the table, so she took them, handed them to Tongtong, and said, "Tongtong eat this, Tongtong is good!" ”

"I don't want to eat this, I'm going to drink yogurt!"

Tongtong's bull temper came up, and he recognized the things, whether he could do it or not, whether he should do it or not, he had to do it, which was the same as her father.

"Wait a while and drink, good!"

Bai Meimei was patient, and suddenly, she remembered something, rushed into the writing room, closed the door, tore up the "divorce agreement" with a few words written on the table, and threw it into the paper basket.

When Bai Meimei returned to the living room, Tongtong was still sitting on the ground, eating oranges, quietly watching cartoons on TV, and the old lady was cleaning the broken glass slag on the ground.

"The children are so old, you said you still can't let me worry! It's like a child! Tongtong sat on the ground, there were so many broken glass on the ground, I checked the child just now, but fortunately there were no injuries! It's a fluke! What if it's tied! How dangerous! Just give him the yogurt! You! It really breaks my fucking heart! ”

"I'll do it!"

Bai Meimei was distraught and too lazy to argue, took the broom and swept the ground.

"Did Yang Yuanshan have anything to do with you? Why haven't I seen him all this time? The old lady frowned and asked uneasily.

"Hmm... It's nothing, it's just that everyone is busy! ”

Bai Meimei pondered, there are some things that she can't tell her mother yet, at least it's not the time yet, she hasn't thought it through.

"It's okay!"

"Grandma, can I drink yogurt?"

Tongtong put down the orange peel and wiped his mouth with his hand.

"Wait! It's still too cool! If you eat a bad stomach again, you will have to go to the hospital, get injections, take medicine, you are not afraid! Bai Meimei said.

"Mom is just verbose, or Dad, Dad doesn't care so much!" Tongtong couldn't eat yogurt, pouted and said. "But, I haven't seen my dad for a long time, so dad won't want me, right?"

Seeing that Tongtong was still sitting on the ground and didn't get up, the old lady simply handed over the yogurt.

With the yogurt, Tongtong happily got up from the ground, jumped on the sofa like a raccoon cat, and started eating.

"Daddy busy!"

Bai Meimei cleaned the ground, put away her tools, walked back mechanically, and said to the old lady, "Mom, how is my father's illness?" ”

"Alas! It's not been a day or two since he had heart problems! The doctor said that there would be another consultation, trouble! When you're old, getting old is trouble! ”

"Nothing will happen, will it?"

"I don't know! After all, it's such an old age! Alas! Wait for the consultation and then listen to the doctors' opinions to see if you can do surgery, there are risks associated with surgery, alas! ”

"Thank you for your hard work, and let you help me take care of the child."

"What's the solution! It's not easy for you either! Take care of yourself! I'll thank you for saving me a little bit. ”

"Don't worry!"

Bai Meimei has long known that it is better not to say something in front of the old man! Oh, yes! What's the use of telling them! What else could there be but to make them worry a little more! On the contrary, if you are in a hurry, the body will not be worth the loss.

Thinking of this, Bai Meimei smiled, "Look, I'm not very good." ”

"To be honest with Mom, Yang Yuanshan didn't bully you, right?"

When Bai Meimei got married, the old lady felt that this aunt was not authentic! But Bai Meimei didn't know which nerve was deranged, she wanted to marry him, and she persuaded her left and right, but she couldn't listen to it at all!

Sure enough, not long after getting married, Yang Yuanshan was revealed in his true form, and it had been a long time, and he couldn't see his shadow, and he didn't answer the phone!

The last thing she couldn't see was Bai Meimei's red eyes in front of her, but when she asked her, she didn't say anything.

"I just got sand in my eyes!"

Bai Meimei always explained so lightly.

"If you have anything to do, you must tell your mother! I've lived so long, I think I know better than you! People are good at being bullied, and horses are good at being ridden! For some people, you can't be too kind or too weak! ”

"Do you think I'm the kind of person who is vulnerable enough to be bullied? Your daughter is not the one who suffers! Don't worry, Mom! ”

"With your words, I'm relieved! I know, you're always nagging at me! Damn, no way! ”

"Why don't you stay and eat and then go back?"

"No, your dad is home alone, I'm not worried, I'd better go back!"

With that, the old lady took out a small lunch box from the plastic bag.

"This, take it! My freshly stewed ribs! Eat it hot! ”

Bai Meimei opened the lunch box, the meat was fragrant, and Bai Meimei took a deep breath.

"Incense! It's better to be a mother! ”

Bai Meimei glanced at the old lady, said with a smile, reached out and picked up a piece of pork ribs, and put it in her mouth.

"Of course it's Mom! Then you don't need to ask! By the way, I heard from the neighbor's eldest sister that I saw someone moving things out of your supermarket, big boxes and small boxes, and new goods? ”

"Well, really? No way! The new goods are not long in coming! I don't know what Yang Yuanshan is doing! ”

"It's common to quarrel and get angry, angry is angry, you can't just mess around because of this! Don't delay business! Go back and see! Don't have any problems with the supermarket! ”

"I know!"

Bai Meimei's mother sat for a while, and then took Tongtong back.
