The days of July change faster than a child's face. Obviously, the sun in the sky just now was still raging mercilessly like Taishang Laojun's alchemy furnace, and in a blink of an eye, it was pouring rain.

Under the rain wash, the already listless pansy also raised its proud little purple head, desperately absorbing the selfless gift of nature, and sang softly.

Even the dreary pentagonal pavilion in the park has shed its gray coat and become new. However, Ye Jingshu had no intention of appreciating all this. The pouring rain and the noisy cicadas made her even more irritable.

"Sister Ye, it's raining too much. We still have so many pages left, I'm afraid we won't be able to finish this morning. Alas, if we can't complete the task assigned to us by Manager Huang, we will definitely not be allowed to come tomorrow. ”

Xiao Zhang, who was sitting in the gazebo to avoid the rain, had red eyes.

Xiao Zhang is a friend who met with Ye Jingshu part-time. Although the age difference between the two is more than 20, the two are very similar in the face of the huge pressure of life, which makes the two who have known each other for more than a month feel sorry for each other.

Looking at Xiao Zhang, who was frowning, thinking that she was only twenty years old and had to shoulder the burden of treating her mother with uremia, and that she could only give up her studies and go out to work hard for her young brother, Ye Jingshu silently picked up the thick stack of single pages beside Xiao Zhang, and comforted:

"Xiao Zhang, it's okay, leave the one-page matter to me. Your mother is still waiting for you to go back to the hospital, so go to the hospital to take care of her. ”

"But Sister Ye, what are you going to do?" Xiao Zhang asked worriedly as he looked at the leaflet that had not yet been sent out.

"It's out of the way, you can go quickly."

Looking at Xiao Zhang's departing figure, Ye Jingshu let out a long sigh and muttered to herself:

"Who has life spared?" Then fell into distant memories.

Twenty years ago, Ye Jingshu was still the pearl of her parents' palms.

His father, Ye Bingxu, was a distinguished professor at the Military Academy, and before the age of 50, he won many key projects of the National Social Science Fund, and was a well-known discipline leader in the country. Mother Han Dongmei works in the government department, has outstanding ability outside, is gentle and virtuous at home, and takes care of the house in an orderly manner.

As the only daughter of the Ye family, she is afraid of falling in her hand, and she is afraid of melting in her mouth.

As the saying goes, "too much", this kind of doting has also made Ye Jingshu develop a temperament of being easy and hardworking.

Since she was a child, her parents have responded to her needs, and when her peers are learning Guzheng Chinese painting, dance and calligraphy, as long as she frowns a little and shouts tired, she immediately packs up her things and goes home; A neighbor's child called her out to skateboard, and she accidentally fell and never played again.

On sunny days, she is too hot, on cloudy days she is too stuffy, not to mention rainy days, and in her opinion, this is even more inappropriate weather. Over time, no child within a radius of several miles would play with her again.

has no friends, but Ye Jingshu is also happy, which just makes Ye's mother's good cooking skills get the most out of it. Fish-flavored shredded pork, rock sugar hooves, braised pork, sweet and sour pork ribs, with chilled canned peaches, not to mention how comfortable.

So, not surprisingly, even if Ye Jingshu didn't go out often, the saying that "the Ye family has a little fat man" spread all over the neighborhood.

The famous German poet Goethe once said, "What man doesn't love?" What girl doesn't have a spring? Ye Jingshu, who is still in college, secretly fell in love with a person - Pu Dafu, a university senior from Sichuan.

Since the freshman saw him filling out the registration form for his younger students at the recruitment office of the club garden, Ye Jingshu began to truly understand what it means to "be convincing and tossing and turning." ”

When I was in class, when I was reading, when I was sleeping, my mind was full of him, and even the rock candy elbow made by my favorite mother tasted like chewing wax. So, suffering from lovesickness, Ye Jingshu reported to the painting club where Pu Dafu was located without hesitation.

However, the goddess has a heart, and the king of Hunan has no dream. No matter how hard Ye Jingshu tried, she was never able to attract the attention of her seniors. Pu Dafu, who has a mellow voice, fair skin and transparent skin, and some painting talent, is undoubtedly the sweetheart of the club, and there are countless fat and thin girls around him. And Ye Jingshu, who is short and chubby and nicknamed "Little Raccoon" by the same club, is undoubtedly the most non-existent newcomer.

However, after more than half a year of unrequited love, Ye Jingshu struggled to rescue Pu Dafu, who had fallen into a deep pit, and successfully moved the male god, and the two held hands happily.

In the year when Pu Dafu graduated from his senior year, in order to let him get the approval of his parents, Ye Jingshu, who was still a sophomore, brought Pu Dafu home.

thought that he would get the blessing of his family, but he didn't want to attract the thunderous anger of his father Ye Bingxu:

Ye Bingxu thought that Pu Dafu was arrogant, disrespectful, and ambitious, and could not take on the responsibility of being a husband, and his daughter was still young, so he refused their relationship because she had not completed her studies.

But where does the wayward Ye Jingshu understand her father's hard work? I'd rather cut off relations with my family than live and fly with Pu Dafu.

So he secretly took the family's household registration book when his parents were out, went through the withdrawal procedures by the way, and got a marriage certificate with Pu Dafu, who had just graduated, and followed him back to his hometown in Sichuan.

When she arrived in Sichuan, Ye Jingshu found that life was far from being as beautiful as she thought.

Pu Dafu was born in the countryside, and his parents were authentic farmers.

There is also an older brother and an older sister in the family. The elder brother Pu Dagui was lustful and greedy for gambling, not only lost all the family's savings, but also had an ambiguity with the widow in the village, and the widow threw the child to Pu Dagui when she gave birth, and ran away with the big boss; Sister Pu Xiu is bitter and mean, loves to take advantage of small advantages, and after five years of marriage, she still uses her parents' food savings to subsidize the family.

And Pu's father and mother were originally disdainful of the little fat man brought back by their son, but when they heard that Ye Jingshu was the daughter of a university professor, their eyes were full of light, and they immediately smiled all over their faces. Eagerly began to ask how much dowry she had brought.

At that time, Ye Jingshu, who had been raised by her parents in a greenhouse, understood what reality was.

Prior to this, Ye Jingshu had always felt that a person's life was very long, because if it was calculated according to the number of days, it could be calculated by "ten thousand"; However, life is so short, the days when I was raised by my parents and held in the palm of my family's hands in retrospect have become the most distant dream in my heart, and I will never come back.

Life is a big and complex book, with sweetness and joy, as well as bitterness and sorrow.

In the Pu family, in just three years, Ye Jingshu has completely changed from a lazy "little raccoon" to a hard-working "little scalper"; From ten fingers not touching the spring water, he has become a housekeeping expert who sprinkles and sweeps the kitchen.

The in-laws have also changed from the initial diligence to the current accusation, I thought that the woman brought back by my son could improve the life of the family, but who knew that she was not diligent, and she did not divide the grains, not only did she not have a rich dowry, but she had to use the family's food to support her. Moreover, in the past three years, Ye Jingshu has not continued the incense for the family.

As a result, Ye Jingshu's life in the Pu family became more and more difficult. You can't even eat food. What awaits her every day is a busy and heavy chore.

I thought that I could live a happy life with my husband when I got married, but how did I know that life was so difficult when I didn't know how expensive firewood and rice were at home? The husband went out to work after the marriage.

Ye Jingshu didn't think about going home to find her parents for help, but her strong temperament in her bones drove her to grit her teeth and endure it.

Whenever in the dead of night, Ye Jingshu, who is lonely and sleepless, will think of the care of her parents and their smiles. How long has it been since you saw it?

Mom and Dad, are you all right?
