(53) Marriage is a five-flavor bottle
Li Xiaocan began to look for a job, and under the scorching sun, he had to run away from one company after another with his resume.
On this day, Li Xiaocan stepped on high heels, wearing a suit with a tight zipper that took a lot of effort, and after the interview, he climbed up to the fifth floor out of breath, and his bones were scattered.
The south is different from Wuhan, there are certain differences in industry background, company system, and salary level, and Li Xiaocan ran a few companies, but he was not very satisfied. Either the company is too small, or the company is large but the salary is low, or I have heard that there is a lot of change within the company. Therefore, for several days in a row, Li Xiaocan racked his brains to deal with one aggressive human resources commissioner after another, as well as one set of professional written exam questions after another.
When Li Xiaocan just took out the key and was inserting it into the lock hole, the door opened with a "creak".
"Wife, are you back?" Zhang Gang poked his head out of his apron and smiled.
"Hmm." Li Xiaocan said with a dying breath, Zhang Gang reached out and took Xiaocan's handbag and the resume document bag that was pinched with sweat.
As soon as Li Xiaocan walked into the house, she smelled a burst of her favorite delicate lily incense. She looked up and saw that there was a light ink-colored straight vase on the coffee table, in which were placed a few pink lilies and a few red roses with bright red and full flowers. ”
"Wife, it's not a day, come and have a cup of tea, you've worked hard." Zhang Gang held the cup and handed it to him.
Li Xiaocan's mood was extremely comfortable: "Husband, what's wrong with you today?" How can you be so good to me? ”
"Wife, it's nothing, I think you've worked hard, and the meal will be cooked in a while." Zhang Gang put down the cup and went into the kitchen again.
Li Xiaocan walked to the kitchen and saw that the red peppers, green vegetables, and yellow ginger shreds on the cutting board were neatly placed, and they were very good-looking. The pot was bubbling, and the aroma of fish soup wafted out: "Wow, it's so fragrant!" ”
"Wife, sit down for a while!" Zhang Gang is washing the soup bowl.
"Husband, you won't do anything wrong, will you? Why was it so good to me all of a sudden? Li Xiaocan felt that happiness was a little unreal.
"No, wife, I got off work early today, thinking that you have been looking for a job hard recently, and I will treat you." Zhang Gang walked into the living room with a bowl and a soup spoon, and then busily walked into the kitchen.
"Husband, I suddenly feel that life also has a sense of ritual." Li Xiaocan's heart, like this big bowl of gurgling steaming soup, is warm and full, and it is not easy to work hard in the outside world, and it is ironed without a trace by this hot soup.
"Wife, it's time to eat!" Zhang Gang walked in with the soup.
Li Xiaocan Zhang Gang looks very handsome in his apron, who said that if you want to capture a man's heart, you must first grab his stomach, and it is the same for women, if Zhang Gang is so diligent every day, Li Xiaocan will not fall into the honey pot happily.
"Husband, I found you so good!" Li Xiaocan sandwiched a piece of meat on the back of the fish to Zhang Gang, feeling a bit like going back to when he was in love before marriage.
"Silly girl, this meal and a bouquet of flowers will buy you as a goddess!" Zhang Gang smiled.
Although she is a married old woman, Li Xiaocan feels very useful, this "goddess" makes her heart flutter a little, but her mouth is neat: "When was the last time you called me a goddess?" Well, when you just chased me. Ah, two years! ”
Li Xiaocan suddenly understood a little why those silly and sweet, boundless and unrealistic idol dramas where the heroine is favored by the perfect male protagonist are sought after by so many married middle-aged women, it is because in their actual married life, they rarely hear these romantic sweet words. Even though they are no longer young, even if they are mothers, they are still the soft little girls who yearn for love in their hearts!
"Well, wife, eat more." Zhang Gang sandwiched a piece of tofu and gave it to Li Xiaocan.
This is tofu, this is simply a sweet chocolate, sweet to Li Xiaocan's heart.
After a while, the two of them were full, and the table was already a mess of cups and plates. After eating and drinking, Zhang Gang lay on the sofa with one foot on the armrest and one foot on Li Xiaocan's leg. Li Xiaocan leaned back against the sofa, and both of them stared at their respective phone screens.
"Husband, hurry up!"
"Wife, you should hide!"
"Run!"
"Haha, I'm out, don't be afraid, I'm here!"
……
The two are playing a tribal mobile game together, and they are very busy, you chase me, you advance and I retreat, and the two cooperate seamlessly. On the second day, Li Xiaocan put on his slippers and opened the curtains, and Zhang Gang had already gone to work. The table is still the same as the endgame from last night's feast. Li Xiaocan wiped the dried oil stains with a rag, and put a bunch of greasy plates and dishes into the pool.
Last night's carefree happy scene seemed like a dream, and as soon as I woke up, I still had to go back to my trivial life.
What exactly is marriage? Who would have thought that one moment you were a nong, and the next moment you were so angry that you blew your beard and stared, life is really a five-flavor bottle, there are all kinds of ups and downs.
After several trade-offs, Li Xiaocan chose a company with acceptable scale, and also received an offer from the other party, and finally settled down. Zhang Gang came back from work, the two were eating, and Zhang Gang's mobile phone rang.
"Hey, Mom," Zhang Gang said as he ate.
Mother-in-law called. As soon as he mentioned his mother-in-law, Li Xiaocan's heart was a little uncomfortable.
"Huh? ......" Zhang's chewing mouth stopped, his eyebrows furrowed. Li Xiaocan couldn't help but lean closer.
"Oh...... Okay" Zhang Gang hung up the phone and took another bite of rice into his mouth, "Xiaocan, Mom said she wanted to go back." ”
"Why? What about the baby? Li Xiaocan asked.
"Mom said that she called the fortune teller, and the fortune teller said that the baby still had a catastrophe - burns." Zhang Gang said.
"Huh?!" Li Xiaocan felt that the fortune teller was unreliable, and he felt that what the other party said was strange and scary, so he didn't dare to believe it, "That's ...... So what to do? ”
"The fortune teller said that you have to do a ritual to get rid of evil spirits," Mr. Zhang said.
"So troublesome?" Li Xiaocan never thought that it was the 21st century, what age it was, and the ancient superstitious activity of the Dharma.
"Yes, I have to bring the child back and let the mage personally recite the sutra to the child, calm the gods or something." Zhang Gang repeated his mother's words on the phone to Li Xiaochang.
"No, bring it back so far, from here to home, more than a thousand kilometers, and it takes a whole night to take the train!" Li Xiaocan felt that this mage, in order to make a little money, was really doing all kinds of evil, and he didn't even consider such a long distance!
"The master said that the last time the baby fell down the stairs, it was an evil spirit that invaded, so he still had to chant the scriptures. Mom also said that the baby always wakes up at night and can't sleep well, maybe it was scared last time, and he wanted to go to the evil spirit. Zhang Gang, like his mother, believes in superstition.
"What age is it, still believe in these! Have you ever wondered how your child can go back when it's more than a thousand kilometers away from home? Li Xiaocan felt that they were all kicked in the head by a donkey.
"Take the train, buy a sleeper and sleep, and the baby can also fall asleep." Zhang Gang said calmly.
"Have you thought about it, it's very troublesome to take the train, let's not talk about how turbid the air on the train is, and then there are people on the train, there are many thieves, what if the mother is asleep and steals the baby?" Xiao Can shuddered at the thought of human traffickers.
"Xiaocan, it's not as terrifying as you think, according to you, children can't go out?" Zhang Gang said expressionlessly.
"No, Chen Gang, have you thought about it, there are many people on the train, there are many infectious diseases, and the baby's resistance is weak, what if you are infected? And once you go back, the climate at home, the baby may not be able to adapt, what if you get sick? He went and had to come back, and it was a whole night, how could he stay up? Li Xiaocan remembered his terrifying experience of riding the train, and 10,000 disagreed.
"Xiaocan, the child is not as fragile as you think! It's safe to take the train, and, in case you get burned by a fortune teller, would you like to? As soon as Zhang Gang heard Li Xiaocan's objection, he became impatient.
"I don't want to! But don't you think it's risky to go back? Li Xiaocan's voice rose.
"But it's even riskier not to go back! He is so small on the train, he can only sleep, what do you know? Besides, haven't you seen those scalded children? Skin grafting, disfigurement, surgery, it's painful! Zhang Gang's voice also became louder.
"Zhang Gang, your mother is old and I can understand that her brain is confused, but what about you? It's a shame that you have received an education, and you still have the same feudal thinking as your mother! Li Xiaocan said mercilessly.
"Li Xiaocan, who is confused? What happened to my mom? Do you think my mom would like to take the car? Don't you know how hard it is to take the train? Who is my mom going to do this? Zhang Gang began to defend his mother again.
"Zhang Gang, don't keep using your mother to press me! Can you think about it with your brain, the child is only a few months old, you take the train with you, can the child adapt?! Li Xiaocan felt that the mother and son were really blown up in minutes.
"How do you know if it's fitting in if you haven't tried it? Children always sleep anyway, isn't it the same to sleep on the train? He's so small, he doesn't know anything! Zhang Gang said eloquently.
"Zhang Gang, let me tell you, I want to take the child home, I don't agree!" Li Xiaocan felt that it was difficult to reason with Zhang Gang and could not communicate.
"Xiaocan, if you have the ability, you can take care of the child yourself, don't let my mother take you back this and that! If you can bring it yourself, you can bring it as much as you want, I don't care if you go back or not! ”
"Tell your mom that if she dares to take the child back, I dare not let her touch the child from now on!" Li Xiaocan is out of the way, what kind of thoughts!
"You're going to say it to your mother! I wouldn't say it anyway! ”
"Okay, I'll tell myself!" Li Xiaocan held his breath.
