Chapter VIII
Yang May was at home in the compound of the military region, and he actually felt like he was living in a backer. She felt a sense of depression and helplessness, and she began to examine her marriage and happiness. There is no doubt that Yang May is unlucky, her peers, those classmates, are happily and carefree in life, but she herself is living next to each other, helplessly enduring. The late-maturing Yang May paid the price for her life.
Wang Changgui no longer has any disguise at this time, since he was transferred to the military region, the self-confidence in the 21st Division has come to naught, and he will do everything again, he was a celebrity in the 21st Division, but he is in the compound of the military region, and he can only be regarded as an ordinary person. Even if he caught up with the ordinary ordinary staff officers and officers, he thought it was very difficult, and he returned from his dream to reality. In reality, he was just a farmer's son, an ordinary officer. Today he seems to see the future, what is the future in front of him? After a few more years, I have to start from scratch when I transfer to a local job. He didn't have much education, he just graduated from junior high school, and in the army, he was surrounded by college students who had graduated from military schools, and he overwhelmed him mentally, and he invisibly felt sad and deeply inferior.
Now Wang Changgui has seen himself clearly, and sometimes he also feels content, he came out of the backing mountain, and it is not easy to take his parents out to this day. This is the result of his backward look, but looking forward, he sees no hope, and that's all. So, he worked eight hours a day, returned home, lay down on the bed, and stared at the ceiling in a daze. Or sigh in front of their parents, the parents who came out of the mountain do not have a deep understanding of their son's inner world, and they have long regarded Wang Changgui as an officer and a family member in their hearts, which is enough for them to straighten their backs and live. The son is uncomfortable, they all attribute the responsibility to Yang May, according to the requirements of the backer, Yang May is an unobtrusive daughter-in-law, what is she doing when she is so beautiful, and what is she doing so showy. Also, in their eyes, Yang May is not filial at all, he doesn't know the cold and the hot for the old man, and he still smashes his face at every turn, which is unimaginable in the backer. Wang Changgui was not happy, and the two old men agreed that their son had not found a suitable daughter-in-law. What's wrong with the family background of the high-ranking cadres, and what's wrong with being beautiful, it's completely useless. So, the two old men often called Wang Changgui to their house to ask for warmth, muttering something about Yang May's no.
Yang May has become disheartened with this family, and she often takes her children to live with her parents. At first, Minister Yang, who had retired, did not approve of Yang May's actions, criticizing her for not loving her old family. As soon as he mentioned the backer, Yang May cried, and later, his father stopped mentioning it. My father took the time to see Wang Changgui's parents, and before coming, my father had feelings and etiquette. As soon as Wang Changgui's parents walked into the city, they had already promoted their position and felt that they were on an equal footing with Minister Yang. As a result of the meeting between the two elders, Wang Changgui's parents kept saying that Yang May was not good or a bad example, and they also criticized Minister Yang, which meant that Minister Yang should not encourage his daughter to live in her parents' house for a long time. Wang Changgui's parents regarded this meeting as a family meeting in the field.
When Minister Yang came out of the door, his heart was uncomfortable, and since then, he has not said anything about whether Yang May has feelings or not. Once, he said to his daughter: In May, blame Dad for not seeing people clearly.
Yang May listened to her father's words, and tears flowed out at once. My father felt uncomfortable too, so he turned his head and wiped his tears from the corner of his clothes.
Yang May didn't know why, as soon as she had time, she walked along the Yong Road in the family home, until one time, she met Ma Bayi again, and she realized that she wanted to see Ma Bayi when she walked like this. When she saw Ma Bayi, her expression was completely different from before, she was chaotic before, but at this time, she was mature and sober.
Ma Bayi looked at Yang May. Ma Bayi said: May, how are you doing?
Yang May said: It's okay.
Smile after saying that.
Ma Bayi said: Don't lie to me, I know you're not doing well.
This sentence hit Yang May's vital point, and tears almost flowed out.
Ma Bayi said: At the beginning, I thought that you and Wang Changgui were not suitable.
Yang May said: It's all because I was too stupid at that time.
Ma Bayi said: That time, I just beat Wang Changgui to cripple.
Yang May said: Bayi, don't say it, I feel uncomfortable.
Next, the two of them took a walk on the winding path. Pull out a person's distance between the two.
Yang May asked: You got married when you came back from demobilization?
Ma Bayi smiled and said: I'm afraid that good women will be snatched away by others, so I am in a hurry to tie the knot.
Yang May asked: You don't have children yet?
Ma Bayi replied: No.
Yang May was a little surprised, and looked at Ma Bayi with wide eyes.
Ma Bayi said: Let it be.
Yang May didn't say anything, and walked downstairs to Ma Bayi's parents as soon as she looked up, she knew that Bayi had come back to see her parents.
Ma Bayi said: Let's go upstairs and sit for a while.
She shook her head.
Ma Bayi said: Then I will go up, and my parents are still waiting for me to have dinner.
She turned around and walked, walked a few steps and stopped, turned around, and saw Ma Bayi still standing there looking at her, she smiled and said: Do you remember the 21st division?
He nodded.
She said, "I was so stupid then."
She turned her head away, tears already hazy her eyes. She didn't look back, and walked briskly forward.
Yang decided to divorce in May, she told her parents her thoughts, but her parents did not say that they agreed or objected. When she told Wang Changgui about this decision, Wang Changgui looked at her puzzled for a long time, and then said: I don't agree.
She said: If you don't agree, I'll leave, we can go to court.
Wang Changgui trembled when he heard this.
She said, "Do you think we're funny?"
Wang Changgui stopped talking, buried his head, he was thinking. After a while, Wang Changgui raised his head and said: It's okay to leave, after I change jobs, we will go through the procedures after I leave the household registration in the provincial capital.
When Yang filed for divorce in May, the million-dollar disarmament had just begun, and a large number of military officers had transferred jobs and returned to the local area. Wang Changgui knew that no matter whether he wanted to go or not, he would definitely go, and if he divorced at this time, he would not stay in the provincial capital, and he could only be assigned back to his hometown. When he finished saying this, Yang May didn't say anything, turned around and left.
Wang Changgui wants to seize the last moment of Yang May and use it as a springboard for himself. As a result, he succeeded, and he remained in the provincial capital. Yang also changed jobs in May and became a nurse at a local hospital. Soon, the two went through divorce procedures, and she lived with her parents.
After his father retired, not long after the adjustment of the million-dollar disarmament, he lived in the cadre rest house of the logistics department. Ma Bayi's father was from the headquarters and lived in the headquarters' cadre retreat. The two retreat centers are one south of the city and the other in the north of the city, and she and Ma Bayi have never met since then.
