When I got home, my parents were there, and the dishes on the table had not been touched.

"Trouble again, huh? Why didn't you come back at noon? Where did you go crazy? Come back so late in the evening, I don't know if we're waiting for you to eat? Wen Min asked with a cold face.

"You got it?"

"If you don't want anyone to know, you can't do it unless you do. You belong to Mu Guiying, you can't pull it down? Why is it that as long as it is a bad thing, you are indispensable? Wen Min hit Zixuan's ass hard with a fly swatter a few times.

"You don't know, the relay in the afternoon is a matter of life and death for us! If Wu Haotian doesn't participate, we will die! So——, at noon, I sent him a note under the pretext of delivering a school uniform."

"You passed a note to Wu Haotian? What was written? Wen Min asked.

"I wrote: Around 3 or 30 in the afternoon, the 4×400-meter relay ,—— the rivers and lakes to save the emergency!"

"The result?" Dong Lixing asked.

"As a result,—— Wu Haotian is here! Not only did we come first, we also broke the school record! All of a sudden, we scored 21 points! Finally – Group First! Zixuan's mood changed, "It's just that ——, didn't expect that the school's radio broadcast results were heard by his mother!" His mother was impulsive and actually ...... Cut your wrists! Haotian was also injured! ”

Wen Min raised the fly swatter again: "Ah——? You're in a new trouble? I haven't settled accounts with you last time you got into trouble! I gave birth to you just to wipe your ass? ”

"What? That's not what you're talking about?" Zixuan avoided his mother.

Wen Min said to Dong Lixing: "Take a look! - Look at your good son! There are so many mistakes I have made that I can't figure it out myself! He pointed at Dong Zixuan again, "Let me ask you, did you also have a group fight yesterday?" I'll take a picture of you this morning! You're good——! Your Director Zhang called and asked me to come to the school to solve the war. - How can I have the face to go to a parent-teacher conference like that? ”

"Oh——! I said, why did you leave all of a sudden! Zixuan said.

"If I don't leave, why don't I stay there and follow you?" Seeing Dong Lixing smiling slightly, Wen Min said angrily, "What are you laughing at?" - Say I'm vain again? ”

……

Wu Haotian injured his knee and had difficulty walking, so several parents in the class who had cars took turns to pick him up and drop him off from school. Today it is the turn of Chen Jiabao's family.

In the morning, Jiabao's mother, Jiang Meina, made breakfast and put it on the dining table waiting for Jiabao. Chen Chuan came out of his bedroom, picked up a slice of bread, and spread it with jam.

"What I told you a few days ago, how did you think about it?" Jiang Meina asked.

Chen Chuan put down the bread that was brought to his mouth and shouted at the bathroom: "Jiabao, what are you still rubbing?" Didn't you say that you were going to pick up Wu Haotian to school today? Don't hurry up yet! I'll go to the garage and drive the car over and wait for you! ”

Jiang Meina said loudly: "Avoidance is not the way!" - Are you good at facing reality? ”

Jiabao got into the car and handed his father two slices of bread and a carton of milk, "My mother mentioned the divorce again?" ”

Chen Chuan smiled bitterly and said, "I really don't understand your mother!" If she doesn't toss something, she won't feel well! ——Yesterday, I quit my job at the unit and said that I was going to Guangzhou to do a garment business. Why did she just want to play a play? ”

Jiabao stared into his father's eyes and asked, "Dad, do you still have a relationship with my mother?" ”

"Why do you ask? You little kid knows what feelings! Chen Chuan avoided his son's gaze, "At this age, let's live!" ”

"At the beginning, if my mother hadn't dragged me to jump off the building, would you accept our mother and son?"

Chen Chuan was silent. The frightening scene still haunts him. If Jiayi's mother hadn't coped with it properly at that time, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

He couldn't forget the tears in his wife's eyes when she handed him the divorce agreement: "Sign it!" Human life is at stake! When she really has no way out, she can do anything! He hugged his wife and wept bitterly. Then, they went to the rooftop together and signed the divorce agreement in front of Jiang Meina.

It's just that when he went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to go through the divorce procedures, Chen Chuan changed the relevant content of the property distribution, and he didn't want the career and wealth that the couple worked hard together for Jiang Meina to enjoy.

Seeing that his father was silent, Jiabao said, "I understand! The palms and backs of the hands are full of meat! I'm not too small! Ever since we came back to this house, you've been making a lot of noise. To be honest, I don't even want to go back to this home! If you don't want to divorce because of me, then I'll show my attitude, and I support my mother. A marriage without feelings is a disservice to you as well as to me. Teacher Ming is right, even if you are divorced, you are still my father, she is still my mother, and your love for me will not change. It's just that you don't have to torture each other. ”

Chen Chuan patted Jiabao's head: "Son, you have grown up!"

"Alas! After so many things, I can't grow up if I don't want to! ”

"Did you Teacher Ming talk to you about the outcome of your fight?"

"Talked. It's my responsibility, and I have to take it. Think of it as the tuition fee you paid when you grew up! ”

"Is your grandmother's illness better?" Chen Chuan peeked at his son's expression.

Jia Bao smiled: "Come on! Treat me like a child? It's not to trick me into going to grandma's house! One by one, they have all become drama spirits! - I didn't say anything! ”

Chen Chuan also smiled.

……

In the morning, Lu Chang drove Jiayi to school, and suddenly received a call from Jiang Meina, saying that there was something important and needed to be discussed.

This reminded her of the past a few years ago:

That day, as soon as she arrived at the company, she received a call from Jiang Meina, asking her to meet at Hannesca's restaurant. At that time, Jiang Meina was carrying a little boy who was seven or eight years old.

After saying hello, Jiang Meina went straight in: "Please come, I won't go around in circles." Look at this kid, who does he look like? ”

"You won't say he looks like me, will you?" Lu Chang picked up his coffee and stirred.

"How is that possible? What does the son I gave birth to have to do with you? ”

"Why did you come to me if it had nothing to do with me?"

Jiang Meina slapped a paternity test on the table: "Take a look!" ”

"I don't have to look at it. My husband didn't hide anything from me, and I knew exactly what was going on. Lu Chang drank coffee slowly.

"Now that you know it, it's easy to do! In short, my son can't live without his dad! ”

"Yes, how can you not have a father? There used to be more than one, right? Lu Chang raised his eyelids and glanced at Jiang Meina, whose face was pale.

"My son is the flesh and blood of the Chen family, and he must recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors."

"It's not hard! I am the daughter-in-law of the Chen family, and I will not watch the children of the Chen family live on the streets. Besides, we can afford it. Jiayi's mother smiled faintly.

"You mean my son is left to you to raise? Are you kidding? Are you willing to separate you from your daughter? ”

"What do you think? My daughter must be separated from his father, and we mother and daughter must give way to you, is that right? I don't understand, where do you get the confidence? You're robbing! Why are you? ”

"I gave birth to a grandson for the Chen family! In the future, the incense of the Chen family will depend on him to continue! So I'm going to remarry Chen Chuan! ”

"Remarriage? - Ms. Jiang, you are so forgetful! Have you ever been married? Jiayi's mother stood up with a smile, "If you want to get back together with Chen Chuan, you should talk to him." As for the continuation of the incense you mentioned, I'm afraid the drunkard doesn't mean it in the bar! I don't participate in this matter, I still have something to do, so I will not accompany you. ”

"Don't be in a hurry! Don't you dare talk to me? Jiang Meina stopped, "Although you and Chen Chuan have been husband and wife for more than ten years, we are each other's first love. If it weren't for the deep feelings, there would be no such child! Why is he with you so quickly? It's just to fill the void of losing me, do you really think he loves you? ”

"Love is a beautiful thing, but it is also very fragile, and it can't be trampled on! As for whether he loves me or not, this is like a man drinking water, knowing his own warmth and coldness. I don't talk to you, not because I'm afraid of you. What is there to talk about between me and you? ——Talking about whether Chen Chuan and I will divorce? That's between us as husband and wife, to talk about it, it's also about the two of us. Moreover, once my husband files for divorce, I will never hesitate! Because I love him, I don't embarrass him. As for whether he accepts you or not, it's a matter between you, and you don't need to look for me. - Didn't you hit a nail at Chen Chuan's place, so you came to me, right? If that's the case, there's nothing I can do to help. I will not be accompanied, farewell! - By the way, I've already paid for the money, you can use it slowly. Lu Chang picked up his handbag and walked out, took two steps and stopped, "- I will say more, you really shouldn't lead the child around to find someone to swagger, you may think that your son is your weight, but the most injured - may be your son." ”

……

Chen Chuan sent Jiabao to pick up Wu Haotian from school, and just after leaving home, Jiang Meina came out to Hannesca's restaurant. Looking at the pedestrians coming and going outside the window, some are in a hurry, some are strolling around, all of them are so strange. I can't help but feel sad when I think that I have lived in this city for nearly forty years and have not had a true friend. She took a sip of her coffee – oh, so bitter!

Speaking from the heart, talking to Jiayi's mother Lu Chang, she was really stunned. This woman is so gentle and elegant on the surface, but when she speaks, she always hides needles and goes straight to the point.

……

Today, when Lu Chang arrived in Hanis, Jiang Meina was already waiting here.

"I'm sorry, I'm late!" Lu Chang said while taking off his coat.

"It's not too late, it's me who came too early!"

The two were silent for a while, and Jiang Meina broke the deadlock first: "I know, you don't want to see me......"

"Don't talk about the past! After going through so much, you feel quite bitter in your heart. You won't invite me if it doesn't matter! And, I also understand that now, you won't have any ill will! Before Jiang Meina finished speaking, Lu Chang interrupted.

Lu Chang's words were gentle and supple, but Jiang Meina couldn't help crying. Lu Chang hurriedly took out a tissue and handed it over.

After a while, Jiang Meina, who calmed down a little, said, "I'm really—too much of a failure in life!" Unexpectedly, the only person who understands me is you! ”

"We're all women!"

"All women? Compared to you, I have lived in vain! ”

"Don't say that! Look at your eldest son, how wonderful! I love it all when I look at it. ”

"Son? - Alas! Even he looks down on me as a mother! I'm disgraced to him! As she spoke, Jiang Meina's tears couldn't stop flowing.

"You're thinking too much! It is common for children to be rebellious, to speak and do things lightly or seriously. Didn't Jiayi also resent his father and changed his surname! However, when no one is around, don't you look endless with his dad's photos? Blood and family affection, cut constantly! ”

"Y-don't hold a grudge against me?"

Lu Chang smiled bitterly, took a sip of coffee, and said, "I said I don't hate, do you believe it?" - I am not a saint. ”

"Yes, how can you not hate the pain of taking your husband?" Jiang Meina looked at the people walking by outside the window, "But what did I get?" It's just a thousand fingers! Even the husband who was robbed was only in name, not even as good as passers-by. Among passers-by, at least there is no disgust! ”

"As the old saying goes, people get narrower sometimes. In the past, my journey was smooth, whether it was my family or career, it was enviable. However, I was really stunned by the sudden upheaval! Wu Zixu passed Shaoguan overnight and turned white. - I didn't believe it before! But, having experienced that sorrowful knot, I—believed.

But you still have to move forward after all, don't you? The old and the young, all rely on me for support, and I can't tolerate my sorrow! There is also a company in Nuoda, there are so many things to do, and no one can give me time to heal! It's not—it's stumbling, but it's coming through.

So, too, you don't have a mountain of flames that you can't get over. Everything will be fine! Anyway, we have children! Children are our hope and our dependence. Isn't it? ”

Jiang Meina said: "I invited you here today just to talk about the child. ”

"Isn't everything about the child settled? That white hair was also fired. - That is, Jiabao also has to be punished, the child must feel uncomfortable, let's solve it slowly! ”

"I know you're nice and kind-hearted. It's as good for Jiabao as it is for Jiayi. So...... So—I want to entrust my family treasure to you. …… I know this request of mine is a bit ...... excessive."

Lu Chang asked suspiciously, "You entrusted me with the family treasure?" What about you? ”

"I filed for divorce from Lao Chen, and I have quit my job at the bank. My sister is in the garment business in Guangzhou, and I'm going to go there. ”

"You, you—always surprise me!"

Jiang Meina smiled awkwardly: "You mean to say that I always play cards that don't follow common sense, right?" ”

Lu Chang looked at Jiang Meina and said, "It's a little!" ”

"Alas! You can't live again! - However, there is one thing I don't regret, that is, Jiabao has returned to the Chen family! ”

"I often comfort myself with this, we can't be with our children for the rest of our lives! In the future, when we leave, Jiayi will at least have a brother, and their brother and sister will have a care. - That's a good thing! Lu Chang said.

"I'm leaving, you and Lao Chen will get back together! I know it's you that he always has in mind. The little affection I had with him was trampled on by myself! I can't get it back! ”

"After so many years, this pool of stagnant water in my heart can't make waves! If we want to talk about affection between us now, it is like family affection. However, love has long been washed away by time! So, if you don't get divorced, you don't have to think about me. - Besides, if you leave, will Lao Chen come back to me? ”
