"Tang Jincai, we have been married for nearly 20 years. Let me ask you a question, have you always been thinking about Guan Zhengfen in your heart? ”

Tang Jincai was eager to explain, he didn't, he wasn't, but his mouth didn't listen to him at all.

"I have never forgotten Guan Zhengfen, although she is abroad, I think of her every year. Thinking of the love letter I wrote to her, Zhengfen is my white moonlight, she is beautiful, intellectual, kind and elegant. ”

Tang Fangfei looked at her father with a shocked face, and she finally found out. It turned out that both father and daughter were in the same strange situation - they couldn't control their mouths.

Everyone stared at Tang Jincai, although they didn't understand Tang Jincai's words, they could hear that he had been praising his ex-wife.

"Jin Cai, what are you doing? Guan Zhengfen abandoned her husband and children, and went abroad to enjoy happiness by herself. After all these years, you still wonder what that selfish woman is doing. ”

"No, you misunderstood Zhengfen. She is a romantic and gentle person. She left us not because of selfishness, but because she stayed in this suffocating land any longer, she would die. ”

Before Guan Zhengfen went abroad, he communicated with Tang Jincai for a long time, afraid that after she left, he would take his resentment out of his anger on his children.

Of course, Tang Jincai himself couldn't say this kind of thing, but he remembered what Guan Zhengfen had said.

Nie Shaozhen was devastated and didn't want to stay at home for a moment.

She lifted the bag, pulled her daughter, and her voice choked: "Yanan, let's go, let your father miss him by himself-"

Speaking of this, Nie Shaozhen felt that in front of her daughter, it was not good to mention the grievances and hatreds of the previous generation, so she didn't say any more.

"Okay, Mom, I'll be with you."

The mother and daughter left the Tang family, and the rest of the people looked at each other in the living room, and the atmosphere became very awkward.

Tang Jinbei lit the cigarette and asked Tang Jincai with a reproachful face: "Third brother, are you enchanted or what." Even if you're thinking about the one in front of you, you shouldn't get up in front of your younger siblings. ”

"Yes, listen to the advice of the eldest brother and sister-in-law. What woman is willing to listen to her husband still thinking about others in his heart, even if you really can't forget Guan Zhengfen, you can't say it directly. “

Tang Jincai's eldest brother and sister-in-law were all persuading him, and the second brother and sister-in-law said similar things.

"Uncle, uncle, second uncle, second uncle, my dad didn't mean it. He didn't want to say those things, but he couldn't control himself. ”

Tang Fangfei said a fair word for her father, and Tang Jin nodded frantically: "Fei Fei is right, I don't want to say something like that, but I can't control it with one mouth." ”

"And what's going on? Jin Cai, you can't be evil, right? ”

Tang Jinhuan's daughter-in-law asked Tang Jincai, and he spread his hands with a sad face: "I don't fucking know, since the hospital got the kidney transplant matching book a few days ago, it's been like this." ”

"Hey, did you hit something unclean in the hospital? There is a lot of yin in the hospital, and there are many people who have died. ”

In recent years, everyone still has some superstitious thoughts, and when Tang Jincai said that he couldn't control himself, everyone's first thought was that he had hit an evil spirit.

Tang Fangfei's face turned pale and asked, "Second uncle, sometimes I can't control my mouth, do I also hit the evil spirit?" ”

"Do you too? In my opinion, this must be an evil one. I heard that there is a master in Dongxu Township who is good at exorcising evil spirits, if you don't get good in two days, go to Dongxu Township to let people take a look. ”

In the living room, the Tang family was discussing whether Tang Jincai and his eldest daughter were evil.

On the street, Shu Ange held Nie Shaozhen's arm and walked aimlessly outside.

The sky was already warm, and the sun was shining on his body, which made people feel lazy, and Shu Ange was a little sleepy.

Nie Shaozhen's body was shaking all the time, not cold, but the chill that she couldn't get rid of, which made her feel chills all over.

Tang Jincai's words were repeated in her mind, it turned out that in his heart, Guan Zhengfen had always been a goddess-like existence.

The stepdaughter is right, she is a nanny and an old mother.

In this half of her life, she thinks she is busy with everything else, and she has managed a large family and become a good wife and mother in everyone's mouth.

When she first got married, her in-laws, uncles, uncles, and concubines would find fault with her, afraid that she would treat her two stepsons and stepdaughters harshly.

Seven or eight years after she married into the Tang family, no one in the Tang family could find fault with her.

Nie Shaozhen never felt that she had treated Tang Jincai's ex-wife badly for a pair of children left behind, but the words and deeds of her stepson and stepdaughter made her realize that she had raised a pair of white-eyed wolves.

The more she thought about it, the more chilled she became, and the more she felt that her life had been in vain.

"Mom, don't be sad, there's me."

Shu Ange took Nie Shaozhen's arm, rested his head on her shoulder, and comforted her softly.

The little daughter's soft comfort made Nie Shaozhen's cold heart feel a little warmer.

It wasn't until this time that she realized that her little daughter, who was ignorant and loved to dress up in the eyes of others, was the one who really cared about her.

In retrospect, she was such a failure to be a mother.

In order not to let others say that she is partial, she treats her three children equally. When the family's money is tight, he is struggling with his daughter, and he also has to buy new clothes for his stepson and stepdaughter.

During the Chinese New Year this year, she was not even willing to buy a new coat for her daughter.

Just because others always say that the age difference between the sisters is not much, Yanan wears her sister's just right.

Why does her daughter have to pick up old clothes to wear, and she, a mother, thinks she is too particular about dressing up when Yanan protests.

In the past, Nie Shaozhen always thought that others could see her heart, but now she understands that everyone treats her as a fool.

"Yanan, mom was sorry for you before and made you feel wronged."

Nie Shaozhen grabbed her daughter's hand, and her voice was a little choked.

"Mom, you are even more wronged, and I have always been upset for you. If you want me to say, you should divorce your father. It's not me who is a daughter, I haven't seen my dad since I was a child, and he has been considerate of you at any time. ”

Shu Ange didn't mention Guan Zhengfen, any woman with self-esteem would not be willing to repeatedly mention the name of her husband's dream lover.

"It's my mother who is stupid, and I always think that women have to take care of the family. Later...... Mom won't be so stupid. ”

Perhaps because she was in urgent need of support, Nie Shaozhen rarely talked to her daughter.

Her family is thin, and her relationship with her brother and sister-in-law is relatively estranged. The relatives and friends of the Tang family are close, but they are all on Tang Jincai's side.

Family matters, say that listening to colleagues with good relationships, it will be spread in a few days.

Thinking about it, the person she can pour bitter water is her own daughter.

"Mom, I'm serious, you should divorce Dad."

Nie Shaozhen was very sad, so sad that she lost her soul. The letter of her daughter persuading her to divorce made her can't help but feel excited.

She was sad and sad, and she really didn't think about divorcing her husband.

"Yanan, don't talk nonsense, my mother is just uncomfortable, and I haven't thought about divorcing your father."

If someone gets divorced this year, it can become a hot topic in the whole community, and if the couple is a little weird, it can alarm half of the town.

Nie Shaozhen is a traditional person, otherwise he would not be a conscientious stepmother, for fear of gossip from others.

She never considered divorce, not only for herself, but also for the sake of her daughter's reputation.

My daughter is seventeen or eighteen years old, she can't go to college, and she gets married within a few years.

If she divorces her husband, it will be difficult for her daughter to find a partner, who wants to find a daughter-in-law whose parents are divorced.

Shu Ange didn't expect Nie Shaozhen to reject divorce so much, she patiently persuaded: "Mom, you have a job yourself, if you get divorced, I will follow you." Let my father raise my eldest brother and eldest sister alone, and we don't have to suffer from the idleness of the Tang family anymore. ”

She tried to make Nie Shaozhen make up her mind to divorce as soon as possible by sketching a beautiful blueprint after the divorce.

The two unconsciously walked to a remote bus stop, and Nie Shaozhen pulled her daughter to sit down, looking at her with a serious expression.

"Yanan, listen to your mother. Mom, you know you're upsetting your mom, but divorce isn't that simple. If I divorce your dad, people at your school will laugh at you. The neighbors will also point fingers at our mother and daughter. ”

The requirements for women in this era are too harsh, and Tang Jin does not gamble, smoke, or drink, and has no bad habits of domestic violence.

If Nie Shaozhen filed for divorce on the grounds that Tang Jincai still had an ex-wife in her heart, everyone would definitely poke her spine and scold her, scolding her for not abiding by women's morals.

Nie Shaozhen herself was scolded, she didn't want her daughter to be wronged.

Moreover, Yanan is beautiful, and their mother and daughter live alone outside, so they are easily targeted by idle little hooligans.

This is a heavy concern, Nie Shaozhen, a mother, is embarrassed to mention it to her daughter.

Shu Ange buried his face in Nie Shaozhen's arms, and said coquettishly: "I'm not afraid of other people's jokes, it's a big deal, let's go far." When I was admitted to college and graduated from college, I bought a house in a big city, and our mother and daughter depended on each other. ”

"Silly boy."

Nie Shaozhen patted Shu Ange on the back, but he didn't agree to divorce Tang Jincai.

But from now on, she doesn't want to pay her heart to Tang Jincai and her two stepsons and stepdaughters who don't know what to do.

People's hearts are flesh and blood, if they don't have a little affection, she won't hold on to the Tang family.

From now on, she will care about her family Yanan.

In a small city at the turn of the century, nightlife ends exceptionally early.

After Kong Xuefei closed the roller shutter door of Shuangqing Bookstore, he stepped on his bicycle and rode in the direction of his home.

After entering the third year of high school, the school only has two weekends off once every two weeks.

On the rare days off, the students either supplemented their nutrition at home, or continued to work hard to make up for classes, and only Kong Xuefei had to take care of the store for the family.

Back at home, he parked his car in the garage, nibbled on some instant noodles to pad his stomach, locked the door and went to his parents' place.

His parents lived on the third floor above him, and the thin door panel could not separate the laughter and laughter in the living room.

Kong Xuefei pressed the doorbell and shouted Mom again, and it took two minutes before Dong He twisted his waist to open the door.

She stretched her face and said angrily: "Why did you come here now, I don't know if your brother is too young to stay up late, so he has to go to bed early." ”

"It wasn't long after I got back from the store."

"If you have a lot of excuses, come in."

Kong Sicheng watched the TV intently, and Kong Junbao, who was as thin as a monkey, jumped up and down on the sofa.

Seeing Kong Xue flying in, he picked up the toy gun, pointed the barrel at him, and shouted: "Kill you, kill the villain." ”

Kong Junbao shouted for a while, and when he saw that Kong Xuefei hadn't fallen, he scolded: "You are a fool, why don't you lie down when you are dead." ”

"It's time to do our homework, let's go to the study."

Kong Xuefei's expression was indifferent, and he didn't take Kong Junbao's insults seriously.

"Good Junbao, give the gun to my mother, let's go do my homework first, our Junbao is a good seedling who is going to be admitted to Tsinghua University."

Dong He smiled and coaxed Kong Junbao to take away the toy gun in his hand.

Kong Junbao hugged the gun tightly and tore it with her, and said with an unhappy face: "I don't want to study, I want to play, you all play with me." ”

Kong Xuefei didn't say anything, every time he came here, such a tug-of-war would be staged at home, he was used to it.

After a long while, Dong He finally coaxed Kong Junbao into the study obediently.

He held a pen and scribbled and drew in his homework book, but he couldn't honestly finish the questions assigned by the teacher.

Dong He served hot milk for a while, and fed Kong Junbao food for a while, and his mind was not on studying at all.

Kong Xuefei sat silently on the side and didn't squeak, because he knew that no one in the family liked to listen to his words.

When Kong Junbao finished drawing his homework, Kong Xuefei corrected it with a pencil, and the error rate was as high as 80%.

"These are the wrong questions, I'll show you how to do it."

Kong Xuefei's voice was very gentle, and Kong Junbao saw so many wrong numbers in the homework book, so he sat directly on the ground and began to splash.

"I don't care, I've done it right, I don't want to change it, I don't want it!"

He howled while splashing, and Dong He went to pull him distressedly.

"My darling, get up and get cold on the ground. After listening to the question, let's go to sleep, okay? ”

"No, I don't want to write, woo, I don't write."

Kong Junbao poured his anger, and the ears of people who could be shocked hurt, and the neighbors were not at peace.

Dong He coaxed for a while, and put Kong Junbao just on the ground and said softly: "Okay, baby don't need to change your homework, get up quickly." ”

"Hooray, hooray."

Kong Junbao sat up from the ground with a carp and wiped his nose with his sleeve.

Dong He glared at Kong Xuefei with a straight face, and said angrily: "I didn't see that your brother was unhappy, like a wooden man, help Junbao finish his homework." ”

"Haha, let the fool do his homework, yay."

Kong Junbao clapped his hands happily and laughed, and Kong Xuefei sat silently at the desk, writing his homework for the fourth grade of primary school.

He was concentrating on his homework when he suddenly heard the sound of ripping paper from behind him.

Kong Xuefei glanced back and saw that Kong Junbao didn't know where to turn out his award certificate, and happily tore it in his hand.

Seeing him turn around, Kong Junbao sang proudly: "Lalala, lalala, I am a little expert in selling newspapers, tear lala, tear lala, tear off all the awards." ”

Dong He looked at Kong Junbao with a smile, and didn't mean to stop him at all.

Kong Junbao tore more than a dozen awards in a row, his hands were tired, and he stuffed the other awards back into the cabinet.

This is something he turned out of the storage room on the first floor, and deliberately tore it to anger his brother.
