(40) Thousands of miles to find a wife
"Why are you here?" Li Xiaocan was surprised and delighted, rubbing his eyes, for fear that he had seen it wrong.
"Why can't I come? I'm looking for my daughter-in-law. Zhang Gang took over the words, gave Li Xiaocan an incomparably bright smile, put a large bag of snacks, fruits, and yogurt in his hand on the chair, and pulled out the chair opposite Li Xiaocan and sat down.
"You remember that I was your daughter-in-law." Li Xiaocan said angrily, but his hand was very honest and picked up a bottle of drink on the table and handed it to Zhang Gang.
"You're so ruthless, just leave." Zhang Gang unscrewed the drink, took a few sips, closed the bottle cap, and played with it in his hand.
"Didn't you force it? You think I want to go? When Li Xiaocan heard this, he unconsciously raised his voice.
"I can't bear to let you go, daughter-in-law, go back with me." Zhang Gang propped his elbows on the table and propped his chin on, the sun outside the window shining right on the bridge of his high nose.
"I don't." Li Xiaocan's voice was small, like a fly buzzing, and his eyes never left Zhang Gang's face.
"What's wrong? Attracted to your handsome husband? Fascinated? Zhang Gang realized it and smiled evilly.
Li Xiaocan hurriedly waved his hand: "Cut!" Who watched fascinated! Talk nonsense! She quickly retracted her gaze, there was a hint of panic, she had to admit that her husband's face was separated, with a high hairline, slightly sunken eyes, a straight nose, thin lips, and plain facial features, but I don't know why, the overall look is both a little handsome and handsome, probably really long-lasting.
Zhang Gang raised his hand and looked at his watch: "You won't get off work until half an hour, I'll wait for you in the living room outside, you work hard." ”
Li Xiaocan then remembered that he was in the office now, not a place to talk about love, looking around, in other compartments, he was either busy making business calls, or crackling on the keyboard, Li Xiaocan nodded at Zhang Gang and handed Zhang Gang the unfinished drink. Zhang Gang opened the door and walked out, Li Xiaocan's eyes followed his back until Zhang Gang turned and walked towards the living room.
Li Xiaocan seemed to have returned to before she got married, and Zhang Gang came to her with hope and joy, his eyes full of shyness. Now that she is no longer shy, how familiar is the person in front of her, she can feel the mole on his back with her eyes closed, and she can say every hobby and habit of him in one breath, this person has been engraved in her bones and has become an inseparable part of her.
"Xiaocan, your husband has come to see you!" Sister Wang sent the documents to the manager and greeted Li Xiaocan when she passed by Li Xiaocan's cubicle.
"Hmm", Li Xiaocan smiled, his heart sweeter than eating honey.
At 17 o'clock, Li Xiaocan didn't accept the table, and hurriedly picked up his bag and left. Zhang Gang just pushed the door in, carried the bag of food and drink, and picked up Li Xiaocan from work: "Wife, let's go, let's have a meal and go to the movies, I bought a ticket for eight o'clock." Zhang Gang took Xiaocan's hand, Li Xiaocan's heart was like a bird, fluttering his wings, and he flew to the sky happily. Like a first acquaintance, she let him lead and let him arrange.
"Where to eat?"
"Go for Thai rice."
"Ah, it's too expensive for me to go." Li Xiaocan knew that the store was in Qunguang Plaza, and the per capita consumption was nearly 100 yuan.
"Don't save it, I've booked a seat." Zhang Gang insisted on pulling Li Xiaocan away.
"Have you paid off your mortgage and car loan this month? Have you bought milk powder and diapers? Li Xiaocan asked after him like a cannon.
"Daughter-in-law, let's celebrate the festival today, celebrate our reunion, don't be old and rich, your husband's monthly salary is tens of thousands, can't he afford a meal?" Zhang Gang said freely, waving his hand.
Li Xiaocan pursed her lips and smiled, Zhang Gang was still as good to her as before marriage, eating, drinking, and playing were all arranged, she just had to open her mouth to enjoy it.
Zhang just took her hand and walked into the cinema. There was still an hour before the movie opened, and she suddenly remembered that they hadn't seen a movie for a long time, and she suddenly felt that "life should have a sense of ritual", this sentence is a wise saying. If they have a sense of ritual and remember not to make some surprises and romance in their ordinary and trivial lives, proving that they are happy with each other, who will waste so much time and energy to quarrel? But they are in a mediocre and busy life, giving each other all the demanding and bad moods, not to mention surprises, they don't even have the least company, they haven't gone out for a long time to play on their honeymoon, they don't want to move when they are tired during the holidays, they have already thrown away the meaning of life, and they are hysterical in exhaustion.
Li Xiaocan bit the Coke straw and looked at her husband Zhang Gang who was sitting opposite, full of emotions.
Zhang Gang is playing with his mobile phone, this is their usual way of getting along, there is too little communication, and the mobile phone occupies Zhang Gang's little rest time.
"Can you play less on your phone?" Li Xiaocan stared at Zhang Gang, wanting to communicate with Zhang Gang about what he had just thought.
"Here we go again." Zhang Gang frowned, after marriage, most of Li Xiaocan's familiar actions have become a precursor to quarrels.
"Okay, okay, okay, do you have tissues? I'm going to the bathroom. Li Xiaocan was afraid that he would break this hard-won peaceful happiness again, so he diverted the topic for some reason. She picked up a pack of tissues that Zhang Gang took out of her pocket and walked into the bathroom, her heart was sinking a little bit, she couldn't go back to the beginning, no matter how much she did, no matter how hard she tried, once the other party didn't want to communicate and ignored the problem, there was no room for improvement, Li Xiaocan knew that she couldn't say more, if she continued to nag "Playing with a mobile phone is not good for your eyes", Zhang Gang would retort: "You made me lose my freedom!" ”
People, what's going on? They are like two hedgehogs, because they are afraid of the cold and want to get close to keep warm, but once they get close, they are pierced by each other's thorns.
"Xiaocan, you can go back with me." Zhang Gang saw Li Xiaocan return to his seat.
"No return." Li Xiaocan wiped the water droplets on his hands and threw the paper into the trash.
"Xiaocan, don't you want a son?" Zhang Gang made a killer move.
"Yes, but I don't want to go back now." Li Xiaocan paused, said calmly, and looked at her slender fingers again, she felt that he was completely unaware of the problems between them, and if he didn't solve it, it would be useless to go back, and he would continue to quarrel and quarrel.
"Wife, how are you doing alone?" Zhang Gang grabbed Li Xiaocan's hand, and Li Xiaocan pulled it away.
"Okay, I'm very good, you didn't see me lose weight, I work out and run, I earn money, I cook by myself, full and free." Li Xiaocan pretended to be relaxed, stroked his hair, and straightened his waist.
"But I'm not having a good time at all." When Zhang Gang said this, he lowered his head and pouted, looking pitiful. Li Xiaocan's jaw dropped in shock: "Ah, our men will be coquettish!" If Zhang Gang had looked like this before the quarrel, instead of raising his voice and staring at him, maybe Li Xiaocan wouldn't have been able to quarrel with him. Zhang Gang has always been a tough guy, and under extremely special circumstances, he exudes the temperament of a cute man, which is the occasional cute side leakage, which makes Li Xiaocan feel that Zhang Gang is very cute, and it turns out that women can't stand men's coquettishness.
"Who is coquettish with you, I am a big man!" Zhang Gang looks like a tough guy again.
Li Xiaocan smiled "fluttering": "Cut, it's not ashamed to be coquettish in front of your wife." Between the two giggling, time flies.
"Wife, it's time, it's time to start." Zhang Gang stood up and led Li Xiaocan into the cinema. In the darkness, Li Xiaocan and Zhang Gang were wearing 3D glasses, and the lenses showed a colorful and beating picture, "Predecessor Three". Li Xiaocan's tears are low, and he can't be sensational, seeing that the heroine in the back is in pain because of her happiness, regardless of allergies, eating mangoes like crazy, and crying while eating, Li Xiaocan can't wait to become the heroine's best friend, and make a phone call with the male protagonist to reconcile the two, so she can't help but cry in the main corner. Zhang Gang grabbed a handful of popcorn and stuffed it into Li Xiaocan's mouth, Li Xiaocan felt salty and salty, and he didn't have the strength to chew it. Zhang Gang saw her cowardice and muttered in a low voice: "It's all a mother, and you're still so hypocritical." He handed over another tissue and leaned into Li Xiaocan's ear: "Wipe it, otherwise Harazi will drop the popcorn bucket." ”
Li Xiaocan grabbed a tissue and wiped it indiscriminately, pulled Zhang Gang's shoulder again, leaned his head on his shoulder, watched the actor confess but was caught and pressed down by the police, and when he struggled on the ground to continue to confess, Li Xiaocan's tears and snot came down, grabbed Zhang Kang's shirt and began to wipe it. Zhang Gang was anxious: "Don't stain my clothes!" Hurriedly straightened up and handed over a stack of tissues.
After watching the movie, it was almost ten o'clock, and Li Xiaocan, with red and swollen eyes, was dragged out of the theater by Zhang Gang. Li Xiaocan was immersed in the plot and couldn't extricate himself: "Husband, why aren't they together?" What a pity! Zhang Gang replied with a tough guy's big nerves: "Well, they missed it." Li Xiaocan suddenly pulled Zhang Gang's arm, and the little bird was human: "I don't want to miss it with you." Zhang Gang smiled: "That's right." ”
The two of them snuggled forward as if they were one person.
Li Xiaocan hugged Zhang Gang and slept very peacefully.
The next day, the bright sunlight shone in through the window, Li Xiaocan rubbed his eyes and pushed Zhang Gang, who was still dreaming: "Hey, the sun is drying your butt!" ”
Zhang Gang was like a spider, lying on the bed. His chin rested on the pillow and drooled.
Li Xiaocan pushed again, Zhang Gang wiped his mouth, muttered in a daze: "Hmm", then turned his face and continued to sleep.
Li Xiaocan was helpless, so he had to twist Zhang Gang's ears and work hard, Zhang just woke up: "Hey! What are you doing?! ”
"Don't sleep! Waste of time! Today Sunday, tomorrow you don't want to go to work? Don't you want to leave in the afternoon? Li Xiaocan reminded him.
Zhang Gang suddenly lifted the quilt and jumped up, as if remembering something: "Wife, I have a ticket at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and now there are five hours left at 9 o'clock!" ”
