Meng Lan finished his housework as usual and went out to buy groceries.

When she changed clothes, she looked in the mirror for a long time.

In a month, she will celebrate her fortieth birthday, and over the years, Shen Ke has given her a very comfortable and rich life, so that she will not be covered with wind and frost like a woman running around, her hair is still black, her figure is still slim, although it is inevitable that there will be some unwelcome wrinkles, but it is still full of charm.

In order to be worthy of Shen Ke's step-by-step promotion, she has always been taking care of herself, and when she attended the event with Shen Ke, everyone praised her younger than Shen Ke, saying that she was a woman who was favored by the years.

She thinks so herself.

It's just that in the past two years, for the sake of her son's studies, she has gradually faded out of Shen Ke's social circle and wholeheartedly accompanied her son to make the final sprint.

In order to save their children as much time as possible to queue up for dinner, many parents make meals and deliver them to the school gate every day, some of them are far away from home, and even rent a house near the school, just to be able to take care of their children more conveniently.

As a result, housing prices in the vicinity of the school have risen dramatically.

Many people complain, many people are helpless, but the national situation is like this, and no one can do anything.

Meng Lan's house is not far from the school, and she can get there by bus in four stops, so she doesn't rent a house and delivers food every day.

For the sake of her son, no matter how hard and tired she was, she was willing, but she didn't expect that Shen Ke would give her a blow to her at this critical juncture.

She took a deep breath in the mirror and comforted herself, maybe things weren't that bad, but it was just a woman who admired Shen Ke who had been following the rules for eighteen years, and it was unlikely that she would do such a ridiculous thing.

But how can he explain his loss of soul in the morning?

The more Meng Lan thought about it, the more irritated he became, but he had to put this matter aside for the time being, change his clothes and go grocery shopping.

At the moment, it is not as important as buying a brisket for his son.

When he came back from grocery shopping, Meng Lan began to cook intensively, and he was distracted in the middle, and accidentally cut his index finger, and even cut the flesh with the skin of his nails.

The pain in her heart brought her to her senses, bandaged it indiscriminately, and continued to cook, and at half past eleven, she got on the bus to school with a warm lunch box.

When I arrived at the school, the gate was already full of expectant parents, and the liveliness was comparable to that of a vegetable market.

Meng Lan saw that there were still five minutes left in the time, so he stood by and waited.

A small woman with a lunch box came over and called her, "Meng Lan, why are you late today?" ”

The woman's name is Chu Jun, and Meng Lan are classmates in high school, and now her son is in the same class as Meng Lan's son, because the house was bought far away, in order to take care of her son, she rented a room opposite the school.

"I accidentally cut my hand and delayed it for a few minutes." Meng Lan explained lightly.

"What an adult, it's still hairy, I'll see if it's serious." Chu Jun said, "You have to be good, there can't be any accidents, the most important thing for the child is this year." ”

"It's fine, a little hurt." Meng Lan stretched out his left index finger wrapped in gauze to show her, "Don't mention it to my son later, do you hear?" ”

"I know." Chu Jun said, "After delivering the meal, go to my house to sit for a while, I have disinfected things in my house, and I will re-wrap it for you." ”

"yes, okay." Meng Lan agreed, the school bell rang, and the two squeezed into the crowd with lunch boxes.

After a while, the students ran out in twos and threes, and the school gate was boiling.

Meng Lan stood outside the iron gate, watching her tall and handsome son walking towards her in a blue and white school uniform, and couldn't help but redden.

She hurriedly turned her face away, blinking her eyes quickly, forcing back her tears and smiling before her son arrived.

"Mom, thank you for visiting the prison again!" Shen Yu grabbed the fence and played poverty with his mother.

"Less nonsense!" Meng Lan handed over the lunch box, "Hurry up and take it to eat, hurry up and study after eating." ”

"I'm going to be stupid." Shen Yu complained.

"It's more stupid not to learn." Meng Lan said, "Mom knows that you are tired, there is only one year left, and you will work harder......"

"Again, again." Shen Yu said, "A year is like a white horse for you, but for me, it is like a year." ”

"I'm just living like a year." Meng Lan said, "I'm going to cook you more than a thousand meals plus more than 300 suppers." ”

This account was calculated, which frightened Shen Yu, he didn't think about it in the past, it turned out that his mother had to cook more than 1,000 meals for him a year, and he had been cooking it for more than ten years.

"Mom, you've worked hard, when I go to college, you can leave me alone, and live a two-person world with my dad when the time comes."

Meng Lan's heart was hit hard, and tears almost fell.

"Don't be poor, let's go eat!"

"Oh, goodbye Mom." Shen Yu didn't notice his mother's mood changes, and ran away with the lunch box.

Meng Lan stood quietly in place until the crowd dispersed, and then went to her rental room with Chu Jun.

Chu Jun's family background is not very good, her husband is a taxi driver, she goes out early and returns late all day, Chu Jun was a company accountant before, in order to accompany his son to take the college entrance examination, he gritted his teeth and resigned, it can be said that he has bet all his net worth on his son, and he is counting on him to be able to make a profit, take the entrance examination to a prestigious school, and find a good job in the future.

The rental room is small, with only enough space for two beds, separated by a curtain, except for the kitchen and bathroom.

Meng Lan sat on the bed, watching Chu Jun medicate and bandage her, and her heart was in a mess.

"Isn't there anything wrong with you, looking wilting." Chu Jun asked.

"No, I'm just tired of running, and I knew that I would rent a room like you." Meng Lan thumped his waist to cover up.

"I can't rent it now." Chu Jun said, "I've survived for so long, let's insist on it!" ”

"Yes, I can only persevere, otherwise what can I do." Meng Lan said.

The two talked for a while, Chu Jun was going to buy study materials for his son, Meng Lan got up to say goodbye, and went home to prepare dinner for Shen Yu.

While waiting for the bus, Meng Lan suddenly wanted to go to Shen Ke's company to have a look, so he took a taxi.

The little girl at the front desk of the company knew Meng Lan and greeted her with a smile, Meng Lan smiled back and asked her if Mr. Shen was there.

The little girl said yes, and immediately called Shen Ke, but was stopped by Meng Lan.

"No need to fight, I'll just go over by myself."

After walking a few steps, I heard another front desk whisper, "Who is this?" ”

"Mr. Shen's wife."

"It's quite temperamental, and the people are young."

"That is, people have no worries about food and clothing, husband and wife are loving, and of course they are young without any worries."

"That's a blessing!"

"No, woman, it's better to do a good job than to marry."

Before today, Meng Lan also thought it was true, but now, she was suddenly not so sure.

The man who has lived together for eighteen years has made her feel uneasy for the first time.

Shen Ke's office was open to the door, and Meng Lan was about to push the door in, when a girl came out of it, and when she saw Meng Lan, she was slightly startled and asked, "Hello lady, who are you looking for?" ”

A young girl, her facial features are very exquisite, and her well-fitting professional outfit stretches out her slender curves, full of youthful atmosphere.

Meng Lan looked at it for a while before saying, "I'm looking for Shen Ke." ”

The girl looked at her with a smile, "May I ask who you are, do you have an appointment?" ”

Meng Lan read a hint of provocation in her eyes for no reason, straightened her back unconsciously, and said, "I'm his wife." ”

"Oh." The girl didn't seem surprised, and smiled and said, "Then you wait a minute, I'll go and ask for advice." ”

Meng Lan looked at her calmly and let her in.

A few seconds later, I heard Shen Ke say, "Will you do something, do you still need to ask for instructions when my wife comes?" ”

Then footsteps sounded, and Shen Ke personally greeted him, "Ah Lan, why are you here?" ”

"After delivering food to my son, I saw that it was still early, so I turned around." Meng Lan's gaze fell on the face of the little girl behind Shen Ke, "The new assistant? ”

Shen Ke's heart jumped, and he said with a smile, "It's not new, it's been half a year, it's just that you haven't been to the company for a long time, and she doesn't know you." ”

Meng Lan was stunned for a moment, hadn't he been here for half a year?

"Hello eldest sister, my name is Ah Lian, I'm sorry just now!" The girl stepped forward to apologize.

Meng Lan looked at her fixedly and said, "Just call me Mrs. Shen." ”

Ah Lian's face froze, and then he smiled brightly, "Okay, Mrs. Shen." ”

Shen Ke glanced at her, and quietly took Meng Lan's shoulder and went in.

The two sat on the sofa and talked, and Ah Lian made tea and brought it over.

"Mrs. Shen, please use tea."

"Thank you!" Meng Lan stretched out his hand to pick it up, Ah Lian's hand suddenly shook, and a cup of hot tea was sprinkled on Meng Lan's hand.

Meng Lan stood up with an "oops" in pain, and the back of his hand was on fire.
