Xiao Qiang's outstanding performance was quickly valued by Ayu's adoptive father, and he secretly inspected it for half a year as a son-in-law, and felt that there was nothing wrong with this young man's character.

So, he personally carefully arranged the contact between Ayu and Xiao Qiang at work, and the coincidental encounters outside of work. As the two people get acquainted and come into contact, they naturally develop a good feeling for each other. It didn't take anyone to introduce them, they met and quickly fell in love. Ayu's adoptive father was naturally happy to see it, and under his personal care, Ayu and Xiao Qiang held a grand wedding on an auspicious day of the zodiac half a year later.

The families and friends of both parties happily attended the wedding, and the enthusiastic colleagues also gave them sincere blessings. The grand, warm, tedious and cumbersome wedding ceremony finally came to an end after the lights bloomed. The guests also said goodbye one after another, and only a radiant newlywed couple remained in the cave room.

The bride's face was covered with shy red clouds, and the groom's eyes were filled with urgent anticipation. A married couple is about to perceive the other half of life, and since the concept of etiquette has been inaugurated, humans have cherished this moment and have prescribed many red tape to show the importance of this moment in the course of human life.

Xiao Qiang took out a cloth package from the innermost layer of the wardrobe, and took out a coarse white cloth from the package, the coarse white cloth was hand-woven by Xiao Qiang's mother, and there were some strange patterns on it.

He remembered his mother's advice, and put this coarse white cloth embroidered with a strange pattern on the marriage bed. Ayu asked a little puzzled: "This cloth is so strange, what are you going to do here?" Xiao Qiang explained vaguely: "This is our custom in the mountains, and we must pad it on the first night of our wedding, which means having many children and grandchildren." When Ayu heard him say this, she immediately blushed: "Xiao Qiang, you are too bad." ”

At the beginning of the union of heaven and earth, it felt like a special electric current made life tremble, intoxicating the two young bodies until they were numb, and as if awakening the original code of life, it seemed to return to the original of all things, and was deeply reflected in the memory of life.

Ayu fell asleep sweetly in exhaustion and happiness, Xiao Qiang quietly put away the coarse white cloth specially prepared for him by his mother, but his heart was like an overturned five-flavor bottle, and he couldn't tell the difference between sweet and sour. His mother repeatedly told him that the bride should see red on the first night of the wedding, and if she didn't see red, she would not be a girl, and she would have lost her virginity.

Xiao Qiang was a little resistant at first, after all, he was a young generation who had received modern higher education, and he felt that this was an outdated concept. Doing so is also a kind of distrust of Ayu, and it can even be said to be a kind of humiliation, if she knows, it will definitely affect her feelings. But Xiao Qiang has been accustomed to obeying his mother since he was a child, and he never thought of disobeying his mother.

Xiao Qiang thought about it, and finally did what his mother said. But now he began to regret it, and he felt that he should let himself drink a little more and forget what his mother had said.

Looking at Ayu, who had fallen asleep, Xiao Qiang opened his eyes and faced this coarse white cloth that failed the test, he didn't know how to face Ayu in the future, and he didn't know how to tell his mother about it. No one knows what kind of psychological torment the groom Xiao Qiang experienced on the wedding night, and no one knows that he has an indelible shadow in his heart since then.

After the honeymoon, they returned to work together in the company, and the two of them loved each other enviably. Xiao Qiang began to get busy again, and seemed to have forgotten the embarrassment and embarrassment of the wedding night. Xiao Qiang was indeed trying to forget, because he understood that the coarse white cloth didn't mean anything.

However, the trees want to be quiet and the wind does not stop. Someone is eyeing the position of vice president of the company, and Ayu's adoptive father is also one of the opponents of the competition. Ayu's adoptive father has been working in the company for more than 30 years, and it is difficult to find any handles, so the eyes of opponents will naturally focus on his daughter and son-in-law.

One day, when he was about to get off work, Xiao Qiang's female assistant walked in with a lot of information in one hand, and complained with a phone in the other: "I told you yesterday, I've been very busy these days, don't you understand my words?" I'm not interested in any movies, you have a mood, but I don't have time to accompany you, I'm sorry. ”

Xiao Qiang looked at her, feeling as if something was making her seem very irritable, and the female assistant greeted Xiao Qiang with an apologetic face, and when she put the materials she was holding on Xiao Qiang's desk, she hurriedly fell to the ground.

The female assistant seemed to be even more flustered, and after putting the things on the ground together, she hurriedly stacked them on Xiao Qiang's desk. Xiao Qiang looked at her somewhat strange appearance and waved his hand with a smile and said, "Forget it, you go, I'll clean it up myself." If you have an appointment, don't keep your family waiting. ”

Xiao Qiang watched the female assistant walk out in a panic, shook his head with a smile, and when he buried himself in sorting out the information on the table, he found that there was a book in the information. After a few days, the female assistant knew from Xiao Qiang's absent-minded demeanor that the book she pretended to lose unintentionally had worked.

Ayu also saw Xiao Qiang's changes, and she asked puzzledly: "There has been nothing going on in the company recently, why do you seem to be preoccupied?" ”

Xiao Qiang looked at Ayu inexplicably and said, "Before we got married, did you ever have a man?" ”

Ayu was stunned for a moment after listening to Xiao Qiang's words, and then her face became ugly: "What do you mean by this?" Doubt me? ”

Xiao Qiang said stubbornly: "Can't you ask if you don't have doubts?" ”

Ayu got angry: "It's your right to doubt, but you'd better not ask, I don't have anything to tell you!" After arguing a few words with their own thoughts, they slept separately for the first time that night.

In the afternoon of the next day, the female assistant walked in with a few contracts, and saw Xiao Qiang's ugly face, knowing that he must have been in the trap, she quietly reported: "Manager Xiao, the contract for the purchase of special equipment and equipment of Beicheng Company has been printed, please take a look, if there is no problem, the boss of Beicheng Company just called and invited us to get together in the evening, and by the way, the contract was signed, if you agree, I will reply to them." If you don't agree, make another appointment. ”

Xiao Qiang took the contract and looked at it, but didn't find any problems, he and Ayu have been in a state of cold war for the past few days, and he didn't want to rush home after work, so after thinking about it, he said to the female assistant: "No problem, you can arrange it." ”

Beicheng Company is a small company that has just been established for half a year, and it is naturally a good thing that everyone can establish business contacts with Company M and get the first purchase order of millions of dollars.

In order to get the long-term cooperation business of Company M, the general manager of Beicheng Company personally came forward to banquet Xiao Qiang, the manager of the purchasing department of Company M. After the guest and host greeted each other, all parties signed the contract, Xiao Qiang's female assistant collected the contract text, and the two parties walked into the banquet hall. The general manager of Beicheng Company led a group of ten people to applaud and welcome Xiao Qiang, which greatly satisfied Xiao Qiang's vanity and made him forget the unhappiness in family life for a while.

Xiao Qiang, who usually acts relatively low-key, rarely relaxes in the atmosphere of the stars holding the moon, and after the staggering, Xiao Qiang, who is a little drunk, leaves his seat and goes to the bathroom, and the female assistant quietly sends a whispered expression on her mobile phone when she sees this.

Xiao Qiang just walked into the bathroom, and saw two men, one tall and one short, walking out of it, and as if no one was talking about anything, Xiao Qiang overheard the tall man laughing and saying to the short man: "Don't you know Ayu?" She was my ex-girlfriend and we used to live together for more than a year, she got pregnant and had a miscarriage before we broke up. ”

Xiao Qiang felt his head "buzz", and the delicious dishes he had just tasted seemed to be gushing out of his throat. He leaned limply against the wall, and then he vomited. Xiao Qiang didn't pay attention, and he wouldn't have thought that in the corner behind him, there was a camera aimed at him.

More than a week later, as soon as he went to work in the morning, Ayu's adoptive father was called to the office by the chairman. Half an hour later, he walked out of the chairman's office with a blushing face, went down from the elevator to the comprehensive office area on another floor, pushed the door directly through the corridor and walked into Xiao Qiang's office, he angrily threw a stack of photos on Xiao Qiang's desk: "Using his power to pick up girls, drinking heavily, and accepting gifts and red envelopes from business units, is this your manager Xiao?" ”

Xiao Qiang looked at this stack of photos blankly, he remembered everything that day, but he didn't expect to be photographed the whole time. Looking at these photos, he came to his senses, he was trapped, Xiao Qiang was speechless. Xiao Qiang knew why Ayu's adoptive father was so angry, because of his own reasons, it would drag down his promotion.

"Resign!" Ayu's adoptive father dropped this short sentence and slammed the door. Xiao Qiang collapsed on the wide chair all of a sudden, staring blankly at everything in the office, the door was about to close for him.

Xiao Qiang knew that everything was over, and after he submitted his resignation report in frustration, he wrote the divorce complaint again. After leaving the company where he had been employed for three years, the doors behind him that had been open to him closed silently to him again, turning him away again.

When he walked into the courthouse, Xiao Qiang realized that the pain and happiness he had worked hard to gain were about to be zero, and he could only start everything again.

He finally understood that life cannot deviate from the right path, and once it deviates, it will leave a trajectory or trace, and he can't hide if he wants to, and he can't wipe it clean if he wants to. He thought of the coarse white cloth that his mother had stuffed into him, and finally felt that it was a meaningless symbol, and his marriage was inadvertently covered with tragedy by this coarse white cloth.
