Ninety-three

After I closed the store, my relationship with Zhang Xu has been much weaker than before. One thing after another, I was already disappointed in Zhang Xu. Now living with him, it can be said that it is not out of love.

Needless to say, Zhang Xu has no feelings for me, if he had, he would not do these things that hurt me one after another. But although I don't think he has feelings for me, he doesn't file for divorce from me.

So we lived like this. I work in Yanqiu's factory because I leave early and return late, and I don't have any days off at all, so I can take a leave of absence if I have something to do at home. I don't have anything to do for the time being, so naturally I won't take time off.

But although it was busy, it was not tiring. Because I am a board master, which is considered a technical job, and there are several board masters in the factory, the workload is not large. Only when there are a lot of orders, we will be particularly busy, when there are few orders, although we get off work very late, but most of the time is idle.

It's a lot easier than opening a store. So I'm really glad I was able to close this store in time. You don't have to be tired like a donkey in front of you, and you have to be idle all kinds of things.

I worked in the factory for less than a few months when Zhang Xu's father passed away suddenly. He was suffering from a sudden illness, so no one saw it when he died, even Zhang Xu's mother didn't find out that Zhang Xu's father had died. She thought he was asleep, and by the time she found out, he had died.

I was also sad about this for a while, because in my heart, Zhang Xu's father should be the best person in their family. It can also be said that he is the only good person.

After Zhang Xu's father's funeral affairs are all taken care of, there is only Zhang Xu's mother's affairs left. Zhang Xu's mother said that she would not stay at Zhang Xu's eldest brother's house anymore. She said that Zhang Xu's eldest brother often scolded her and Zhang Xu's father, who had died. also said that Zhang Xu's sister-in-law always said bad things about them in front of Zhang Xu's eldest brother. So she couldn't live there anymore. Whether it's true or not, none of us knows. At that time, I said, "If you don't want to live with your eldest brother, you can go to our place." ”

But Zhang Xu's mother said, "You don't have a house there now, so I'd better go to your eldest sister to live first." Your eldest sister and eldest brother-in-law both let me go. ”

After listening to what Zhang Xu's mother said, I didn't want to insist on letting her come over. Because our house is indeed too shabby, and it is not tight, cold in winter and hot in summer. The old lady also suffered when she came to us. Sister Zhang Xu's house is indeed very good, and our house cannot be compared with theirs.

Hearing Zhang Xu's mother say this, I said, "Okay, if you go to the eldest sister, it's okay, but if you don't want to live there, you can come to me whenever you want." ”

In this way, Zhang Xu's mother went to live at Zhang Xu's eldest sister's house first.

In this way, Zhang Xu's mother's affairs have been arranged for the time being. But my relationship with Zhang Xu is getting colder and colder. I can be sure that the reason for the cold relationship between us is that Zhang Xu has someone outside.

But although our relationship is no longer good, I will do what I should do. There are some things that Zhang Xu can get by on the big picture. So we were okay for a while. Although the relationship is not good, the life is peaceful. So I will be content. As long as there are peaceful days for me to live.

But when Zhang Xu's mother didn't stay at Zhang Xu's eldest sister's house for a long time, one morning, when the sky was bright, I heard a knock at the door. I was so scared that I hurriedly got dressed, because I didn't know who was coming.

While getting dressed, I was still thinking, who came knocking on the door so early? This man is too unreasonable. Who's going to wake up so early?

I'm wearing clothes here, Zhang Xu has already walked out to open the door, because it's summer, he is wearing shorts when he sleeps, and he can go out of the house with half sleeves on them, so it's very fast.

Zhang Xu and I don't sleep in the same room. Because Zhang Xu had nothing to do a few days ago, I was really too lazy to quarrel with him, so in order to avoid him, I went to Westinghouse to sleep, and he didn't say anything else.

I saw Zhang Xu open the door, it turned out that Zhang Xu's mother was outside, so Zhang Xu was in the door, Zhang Xu's mother was outside the door, and the two of them were talking face to face. At this time, I heard Zhang Xu ask, "Why did you come so early?" As soon as the morning dawned, we didn't get up, was there anything in the hurry? Zhang Xu didn't mean to let his mother into the house when he spoke.

At this time, I heard Zhang Xu's mother say, "Xiao Xu, I want to come to live at your house, I can't live with your eldest sister." Can I do this with you? ”

Zhang Xu listened to what his mother said, and said without thinking about it: "Look at it, my house is leaking, and it looks like it's about to collapse, what are you doing here?" Besides, where are you staying? Where do I have a place here? ”

Zhang Xu's mother listened to Zhang Xu's words, and said pitifully: "Xiao Xu, just give me a bed, as long as there is a place to live, I really can't live with your eldest sister, where am I going if I don't go to you?" ”

By this time I was all dressed. I heard all the conversations between Zhang Xu and his mother, although I didn't have a very good opinion of Zhang Xu and his mother, thinking that this old lady actually had a lot of things. But when I heard what she said to Zhang Xu, it was really pitiful. It's really hard for an eighty-year-old man to say such pitiful words. At this time, my soft-hearted problem came up again, and I had long forgotten about her provoking me and Zhang Xu.

So I hurriedly walked out and said to Zhang Xu: "Zhang Xu, if you have anything to say, you let your mother come in and talk about it." After finishing speaking, he said to Zhang Xu's mother: "Mom, you go into the house first, don't stand outside." ”

Zhang Xu listened to my words and didn't say anything, so he turned around and walked into the house.

Zhang Xu's mother also followed into the house, and after I closed the door, I also followed into the house.

After I entered the house, Zhang Xu's mother said to me: "Wen Li, I want to come to live with you, will you let me come?" ”

After listening to what Zhang Xu's mother said, I didn't think about it and said, "Let you come, I said it a long time ago, you can come whenever you want." ”

After Zhang Xu heard the conversation between his mother and me, he said to her mother a little unhappily: "Aren't you living well in the eldest sister's place?" Look at me, a family, you have to come to me? ”

After Zhang Xu's mother listened to Zhang Xu's words, she hurriedly said cautiously: "Xiao Xu, I really can't live in your eldest sister's place, if I can live, I won't come here." ”

"Didn't you keep saying that it was good to be with the eldest sister? Didn't you say that the eldest sister and the eldest brother-in-law are both good to you? Zhang Xu asked.

"Xiao Xu, no matter how good it is, that's also my daughter's house? You don't know, I'm not comfortable there. As soon as I got out of the house, someone asked me, "Why do you have a son who always lives in his daughter's house?" I don't know how to answer when people ask me, what do you say I say? It's really my two sons, and I can't say that I always live with my daughter. Although your brother-in-law doesn't say anything, I don't feel at ease. ”
