Volume 5: The Rainy Season (1)
Xia Qing's craftsmanship is very good.
Although it was just a simple dish of hot green vegetables with egg fried rice, Chen Zhao ate it with relish. But while eating, seeing Xia Qing who was holding his head with his forehand and watching himself eat with a faint smile, he muttered because he was stuffing a few balls of rice in his mouth.
"Aren't you going to eat?"
"I've been at home for too long lately. I'm getting fatter and want to lose weight. Xia Qing smiled.
This made Chen Zhao a little stunned.
In his impression, Xia Qing is actually a very perfect woman. I didn't expect to love beauty too... I haven't seen her wear makeup or anything like that.
"Aren't you disgusted when you're fat?" As if he had guessed the doubts in Chen Zhao's heart, Xia Qing chuckled.
“....”
Chen Zhao was silent, his eyes were staring at the pot of green vegetables, and he didn't look at Xia Qing, and soon, he swallowed the rice in his mouth, and continued to mutter something that Xia Qing didn't hear clearly.
"I won't dislike it."
Yes.
Chen Zhao was a little dazed.
He had a fight with Xia Qing once, and the reason was roughly because of his boring self-esteem. Although he knew in his heart that Xia Qing was right, he still didn't avoid quarrels.
Therefore, after reading the diary, he felt that 8 years later, he may have had a gap with Xia Qing in some aspects, so he fell in love with other women, and finally derived the idea of divorce.
After all, life is like that, there are many chores.
But Xia Qing's sentence 'I'm afraid you will dislike it' made Chen Zhao's inexplicable heart slightly astringent.
He knows that if such a good woman leaves, it will be absolutely impossible to find it again in this life.
It's just that how can a 26-year-old self not understand this?
So what prompted the 26-year-old to ask Xia Qing for a divorce? Even if there is a good woman, it is not necessarily better than Xia Qing, right? And what is the promise of more than 1 year in the diary?
He was eager to read some more diaries to find out.
.......
The midday wind was a little warmer.
After the meal, Chen Zhao waited for Xia Qing to leave, but he sat for a long time, but saw that Xia Qing had been watching TV, and he didn't look like he was going to the hospital at all, so he asked curiously, "Aren't you going to accompany Xiaole?" ”
Xia Qing smiled, "I recently met a nurse sister, and she was very happy to be accompanied by someone." So I'll stay home with you in the afternoon, I'm afraid you'll be bored if you don't go to work. ”
Bored?
Chen Zhao lowered his head, a little ashamed.
Just now, he obviously wanted to enjoy it for a few more days...
"I want to go to work next week." But at this time, Xia Qing added.
Chen Zhao was stunned, then lowered his face, frowned, and said, "Are you kidding?" It took 3 months to barely try to walk, and now you have to walk with crutches and still want to go to work? ”
"Isn't there nothing I can do at home? I sit most of the time at work, so I don't get in the way. Xiaole's words, well, the hospital is accompanied by nurses, and there are also a lot of comic books sent by Sister Zhang, and people are also sensible, so it's no problem to accompany you after work. ”
After Xia Qing said this, seeing that Chen Zhao's face was still ugly, he sighed, and continued to speak softly unhurriedly, "Chen Zhao, you have been supporting the family for several months, and it is time for me to help you some." I know that it is very important to make money, to support me and Xiaole. But isn't your body more important than money? I'd rather live a simpler life than see you work as hard as you did last month. You just go find an easier job, I'll go to work, and we can live a good life together, okay..."
It was drizzling outside the window.
Knocked out a few tender green willow leaves, Xia Qing's words were like the leaves that had fallen to the ground, but the soft and pleading tone gave Chen Zhao a feeling that he was not allowed to refuse.
Chen Zhao quickly lowered his head, no one knew why he did this, maybe he didn't want to look at Xia Qing's eyes?
Or something else that no one understands.
"I also want you to spend more time with Xiaole. I haven't seen you in a few days, and she really misses you. ”
“....”
Xia Qing is in love with Chen Zhao.
Chen Zhao knows this, extremely clear.
But his guilt deepened.
Because Chen Zhao doesn't love Xia Qing.
Both in the past and in the present.
He didn't know how the love between the two came about, and he wanted to know the answer. Of course, he also wants to try to love Xia Qing, not just for Xiaole, not just for self-esteem...
He told himself that Xia Qing could not become an accessory to working hard, 'raising a family', and a home.
"How many years have you worked hard? How many months have I worked hard? Chen Zhao's words made Xia Qing lose his mind slightly, and he couldn't answer for a while.
"I don't allow you to go to work, absolutely not. It doesn't matter if I work hard for another month or two, really, it doesn't matter. Responsibility is something every man should have, isn't it? Our life is still very long, we have only lived together for 6 or 7 years, and there are still decades to go, are you still afraid of missing time with Xiaole? Are you afraid of being tired for so many months in a few decades? ”
may be able to understand that the reason why Chen Zhao lowered his head was that he didn't want to face Xia Qing's undeniable request.
Because he still refused.
Chen Zhao didn't know whether his choice was right or wrong, maybe he felt that he was wrong, and in Xia Qing's heart, he was wrong.
But he didn't mind.
If you feel right, it's fine.
Figured it out.
In fact, it is not 100% unfortunate to rebel against the summer rain, and it is not necessary to think of everything pessimistic. Maybe it's just the rain of early summer, maybe it's the last beauty? After all, the truly disgusting rainy season is just around the corner.
The mood improved, and Chen Zhao secretly praised what he said.
That's right, for decades, I have struggled for one-third, one-quarter, to make this family better, and the remaining two-thirds, two-quarters, to rest well and spend a good life, isn't it good?
Why rush for momentary comfort?
........
Xia Qing's emotions were a little subtle and complicated.
But he didn't dare to let Chen Zhao see the change in his expression, so he could only bite his lip and learn to lower his head like Chen Zhao just now.
She was thinking, what Chen Zhao said just now, are they love words? Is it a promise to her?
If so, how many years have you not heard of it?
Two years ago?
Or was it a little longer ago?
Xia Qing almost forgot how she was with Chen Zhao in the first place, but that beautiful moment seemed to be reflected in her mind again at such a moment...
"I decided, go find a job in the afternoon." Chen Zhao stood up suddenly.
"Huh? ... I just don't go to work first, it's still raining in the afternoon. Xia Qing was taken aback, and said, "Don't be too impulsive, your health is not well yet, and you won't be in a hurry to go again in two days." ”
"You come back from the rain to cook for me, and I go out to find a job, it's nothing." Chen Zhao disagreed.
He didn't understand where the sudden rush in his heart came from.
Is it because Xia Qing was added to the list of hard work goals?
.........
The rain seemed to light up at noon.
Xia Qing took a nap.
Chen Zhao stared at her beautiful sleeping appearance for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and secretly kissed Xia Qing twice on the face. But this seemed to make Chen Zhao not satisfied, he thought about it, and finally didn't let go of Xia Qing's lips.
"It feels soft..."
After Chen Zhao finished muttering, he walked away from Xia Qing with a red face, and saw that she didn't wake up, so he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
It doesn't matter if you find out, does it? Anyway, it's my wife!
Walking to the back of the TV, Chen Zhao took out the diary, according to the wrinkles he had just flipped, he quickly turned to the two pages he had read, looked at the contents, was silent for a few seconds, and finally gritted his teeth, tore it off, crumpled it into a ball, and threw it into the trash.
Chen Zhao didn't want to read the rest of the content, he opened the drawer and put the diary in it again, and locked it.
Yes, there's nothing more to see.
Now he is Chen Zhao who came from 18 years old, not Chen Zhao who is 26 years old. The past 8 years are not what he has experienced, he doesn't need to know, and he doesn't want to know anything he shouldn't know.
No matter who the woman he likes, what the 1-year agreement is, the reason why he wants to divorce and hates his daughter, he decided not to speculate and contact anymore.
"That's the thinking of 26-year-old Chen Zhao!" Chen Zhao said to himself seriously, "Now I like my daughter and don't want to divorce Xia Qing." There is no woman I like except Xia Qing. ”
That's right, his life in this world has only just begun!
