"Brethren, I am confused. ”

Courtyard No. 81 of Gangwan New Town, on the grass in the backyard, Li Mai is half-lying on a recliner, enjoying the warm afternoon sunshine in late winter and early spring. Wei Zhenhua and Hu Wenbing were on both sides, and Li Xian and Pei Xiaoshuai were sitting in front and drinking.

They were idle and basking in the sun.

"I don't know if you're confused or not, but I know my wife can't tell when she's going to give birth. Wei Zhenhua rubbed his temples and said, "Oh, I'm nervous." As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Li Mai and asked, "I said Maizi, did you feel the same way when you first became a father?"

Li Mai was speechless for a moment and said, "I was in the army when Haohao was born, and I didn't know about this matter at all, so how can I feel it." ”

"Uh, I forgot. Wei Zhenhua said, and then looked up at the clear blue sky, "Oh, as Xuanxuan's delivery day approaches, I have been unsteady in my heart, and I have all kinds of feelings." You say, a little guy is coming, how should I bring him up? Damn, the more I think about it, the more unreliable I become, and I'm confused. ”

Hu Wenbing smiled, lit a cigarette, and said, "Don't think too much, there is no internship period for this kind of thing, sooner or later there will be such a day." Now you feel confused and don't know how to take the child, and when the child comes out, you will naturally know what to do. ”

As he spoke, he added, "This is human potential, and all mammals are like that." ”

Wei Zhenhua suddenly said: "I'm surprised, where did you learn the theory from the kid, as if you were a father." ”

"Haha!" Hu Wenbing said, "I read it in the book." Besides, Zhan Tianqi is pregnant. ”

"What, pregnant?" Wei Zhenhua said in surprise, "When did it happen?"

Hu Wenbing's pride in his heart could not be concealed, he said, "It's been more than three months, and I only found out last week. As he spoke, he looked at Li Mai, "I said Maizi, should you find someone else to replace Zhan Tianqi, my daughter-in-law is pregnant, and you resolutely can't let her fight so hard." ”

Li Mai waved his hand and said, "You said it ten thousand times, okay, I'll arrange it." Besides, the due date is still far away. Unless you convince her to take the initiative to hand over the company's affairs. ”

Hu Wenbing suddenly made a bitter face and said, "Forget it, I don't want to be beaten." ”

The crowd burst into laughter.

At this time, seven months have passed since Li Mai's successful marriage proposal. For men, two major events in life, career and family, both of which have been completed, although they have gone through some hardships. But he was finally able to enjoy a happy family life, and his career, the gun regiment construction group on the track no longer needed him to worry a lot, and it was his job to make decisions about the direction.

Hu Wenbing also got married to Zhan Tianqi, but he has been laughed at for not being good at marksmanship, and it took more than three months to get Zhan Tianqi pregnant, which is far worse than Li Mai.

"Brother Mai, sister-in-law's due date is approaching, right?" Li Xian took a sip of wine and asked with a smile.

When Li Mai mentioned this, he was in a good mood and said, "The doctor said that there will be two months at most." ”

"Tut-tut!" Wei Zhenhua shook his head in admiration, "Maizi, according to the time calculation, you made an accurate shot on the night of your proposal." As he spoke, he sat up and pointed at Hu Wenbing, "Old Hu, compared with wheat, your marksmanship has to be thrown!"

Li Mai laughed proudly.

At this time, Li Xian asked with a smile, "Brother Mai, is the success rate higher on the plane?"

Wei Zhenhua preemptively said, "I don't know if the success rate is high, but I know that it must feel good." ”

Li Mai smiled and said, "Want to give it a try?" Okay, you can also buy a flying RV, and I'll give the red plane a word." ”

"Forget it, I don't have that much money. Li Xian said with a wry smile.

Li Mai squinted at him and said, "I said little idle man, there is no need to cry poor in front of my brothers, right? I remember that you took 90 million in the year-end dividend." ”

Smiled awkwardly, Li Xian lowered his head, and his voice also lowered, "Uh, that, the money is in Dandan's hands, she definitely doesn't agree to spend money like this." Hundreds of millions of helicopters, let's wait another two years. ”

"I can't see that the little idle man is still a strict wife. Hu Wenbing said with a smile.

Wei Zhenhua snorted, "No matter how strict you are, you can't figure it out, she really does it with you." ”

"Not really. Hu Wenbing said with a bitter face, "I really beat me, and I don't dare to fight back." No, I think I still quit my job at Nangang Station to work in Maizi's company, otherwise that salary would not be enough to heal the wounds. ”

"Are you enough, is it so exaggerated?" Li Mai said helplessly, "Besides, the one in your family who won me really doubled the assets of the leasing company tenfold in one year, and she now holds 10% of the shares." It's more than enough for you to frame it with diamonds. ”

Hu Wenbing also sat up, his expression became stern, glanced at everyone, and said, "The problem is here!"

Everyone didn't react and looked at him.

Li Mai thoughtfully, took the cigarette light handed over by Wei Zhenhua, and waited for Hu Wenbing's next words.

"Look. Hu Wenbing spread out his hands, and the fingers of his right hand were dotted on the palm of his left hand, "Aside from the equity income in her hand, let's talk about salary." My monthly salary is less than 8,000, and all the allowances, subsidies, and bonuses add up to less than 8,000 on average. As for her, it's nearly a million a month. ”

Pointing at Li Mai, Hu Wenbing was full of resentment: "I wondered, don't you have too much money to burn, aren't you just a CEO, what kind of annual salary do you give her." ”

"You see, the house, the furniture, the car, and the diamond ring that she lives in now were all bought with her money. As for me, the Moonlight Clan, I don't have a penny of savings. Hu Wenbing said bitterly, "It's okay at first, we love each other so much that we have to love each other to the bone marrow, and we can ignore everything." But after a long time, the problem came. I can't always rely on women to earn money to support my family, right? My little salary is barely enough to cover the monthly maintenance of the house, the utility bill, and so on. ”

The crowd was silent.

Li Xian lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and then said, "What Brother Bing said makes sense. Dandan had actually been working hard in secret for a long time. For women, the disparity in economic power can also make them feel uncomfortable. Maybe money is not the ultimate goal, but to reflect one's ability to earn money. I also have a headache now, she works hard, and she spends less time together, and she hasn't been able to conceive a child until now, I guess it's because her mind is not on it. ”

Li Mai asked strangely, "Dandan, this girl, I feel like I care about my family, how did she become a strong woman." ”

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Li Xian said, "Yes, I wonder too." Alas, if you want to say the reason, it may be because I earn too much. ”

Li Mai sighed speechlessly and said, "Alas, when you earn less, this is not enough, and you don't dare to buy it, and you want to earn more, and you earn more, and this problem is that change." This life is just tossing and turning. ”

"I don't think so. Wei Zhenhua calmly analyzed, "Our family Xuanxuan doesn't have this idea. Now she finds something to do when she gets bored, and when she doesn't want to work, she plays and shops everywhere. Alas, I was so relieved to see her spending money like water. That's how I feel like the money I'm earning makes sense. ”

"Not true. Li Mai waved his hand and said, "Your Xuanxuan is pregnant, and all your thoughts are on the child." Dandan's situation is different from hers. There is another reason......"

As he spoke, he glanced at Hu Wenbing, "Maybe I have more contact with Dandan and Zhan Tianqi and have been affected." ”

Hu Wenbing was stunned for a moment, "It's my business again." ”

The crowd laughed softly.

After pondering for a while, Li Mai said slowly, "However, the problems mentioned by Lao Hu and Li Xian are indeed true, and they are very common. ”

"During this time, I have been very attentive to the people around me. For example, Qian Mangui and his wife, they are a very typical example. As you all know, they've had divorces before. The root cause is that at the beginning of the business, the money was full of the lord, and his wife was in the house. The career is stable, and his wife is starting to have ideas. She felt that she had not been able to contribute to her career, or perhaps she felt that she had not been able to contribute to this area, because she was irresponsible to her family, or because she had other ideas. In short, she has to manage the company. It was under her management that Youwei almost went bankrupt, and it was at that time that I began to invest in Youwei. You say, the problem is not very strict. ”

Hu Wenbing sorted out the context, took over the conversation, and said slowly, "The huge gap in economic status will sooner or later affect the life after marriage. It is true that I don't care about more money or less money in my heart, and Zhan Tianqi won't care either. But the gap is unequivocal, and that's a problem that needs to be addressed. Besides, maybe Zhan Tianqi feels that it doesn't matter now, whoever spends money is money. But what about the long time? God, there are still decades. Maybe one day she will think, oh, this Hu Wenbing is really useless, he doesn't have much money to be a broken officer, and he has no interest. Or maybe one day she doesn't want to work anymore and depends on me to support her. Is my little money enough for her to buy a bottle of perfume?"

Shaking his head, Hu Wenbing said with a wry smile, "Falling in love and getting married are really two different things. Married life is by far the most challenging task of human beings, and it is really full of problems that need to be overcome!"

"The so-called right door is not unreasonable. Deposit zài is meaning. Li Mai nodded slowly and said, "This is actually related to the difference in the growth environment. ”

Drinking some wine, Li Mai said, "The growth environment determines people's character, and also determines the level of consumption and mental standards." We may think that eating a roadside stall for a dozen yuan is already satisfying, but for those who have grown up in a privileged environment, it is impossible to swallow. Hundreds or thousands of light meals are the normal meals in their minds. Just imagine, children who grow up in a privileged environment, who have enjoyed the high-end goods of society since childhood, and one day ask them to lower their own standards of needs, there is no doubt that various problems will arise. ”

Smiling, Li Mai said, "However, there are always some people who are restless and want to challenge difficulties. Like you, like me. ”

"All in all, no matter how beautiful love is, it will be defeated by a long marriage, the key is whether we can do our own in this long war, and whether we can not forget our original intention and go to the end as always. ”

Everyone had the feeling that listening to your words was better than reading a book for ten years, and they all lowered their heads and pondered......

Note: The following text is free of charge

Written at the frontispiece

It took a day to think about how this volume should begin, and in fact there is no outline for Daddy to proceed here. In the past eight months and sixteen days, I have spent all this time overthrowing Mr. Zhang, and I think it is long enough.

Originally, this was a very pure emotional story.

Today, some readers ask me, rifle, are you writing about real people and real things?

The rifle was silent for a long time, and replied against his will, no. It should be said that not all of them, nor none of them. In terms of the relationship between men and women, in terms of marriage, it is inevitable that the book expresses the views and opinions of the rifle.

Have you ever had too many things to say to him/her but never felt like you knew how to say them?

I think everyone has encountered it. The stages of life must go through, to put it a little disgusting, people always have one or two unforgettable love experiences, to put it bluntly, people always have to throw themselves out of reason to go through it.

Daddy finally got to this point according to his plan, and Rifle really wanted to write about his married life - would that be an imaginary situation, I don't know.

Many people think that life is already very difficult, and if even novels are so uncomfortable, there is no hope. Rifle thinks that literature must have its attributes after all. It should be profound, teach people to be as optimistic as possible in life, and give people to think and have the right values.

I'm trying to do this and will always try to do better.
