CHAPTER XX

After all, one day, Wang Chu wrote a divorce agreement and handed it to Li Xiangyang, and that day, she deliberately sent Li Haoran to his grandmother's house and made a special trip to discuss this matter with him.

"Wang Chu, what do you think of me?" The moment he saw the divorce agreement, Li Xiangyang was furious, "The front foot has turned your job into a regular one, and you want to kick me away with the back foot?" You eat what you eat inside and out, you? ”

"What does this have to do with eating inside and out?" Wang Chu said angrily, "Think about what you have done to me all these years? I choose to come back, do you think I'm living a good life with you? I am enduring humiliation, and when I have the ability, I will fight for the custody of Li Haoran. ”

"I'm not going to agree to a divorce." Li Xiangyang picked up the divorce agreement and tore it up and threw it into the garbage basket without looking at it, "You will die of this heart." ”

Li Xiangyang began to plan to go out, but Wang Chu blocked him at the door, "If you don't agree, then we'll see you in the court." He pulled her away with all his might, slammed the door and left.

Wang Chu sat on the sofa, she put her hand on her forehead, felt a sharp pain in her sideburns, her head was buzzing, the sound came from nowhere, and there was a piercing sound in her ears, I don't know if it was related to the eardrum perforation incident? Those images hit her unconsciously, and she felt her heart tremble.

This process was very difficult, as if she was suffocated, Wang Chu raised her eyes and looked around, she wanted to escape, she went to the drawer to find the household registration book, ID card, and two-inch photo, but she couldn't find the marriage certificate, she rummaged through all the drawers and bookcases at home, and finally didn't find it. She was sure that Li Xiangyang had hidden the marriage certificate, so she asked him that night, "What about the marriage certificate?" ”

At first, Li Xiangyang was silent, and when he asked in a hurry, he smashed the remote control on the coffee table to the ground and yelled, "I don't know." His eyes were red, his lips were trembling, his breath was short, and she subconsciously sensed a danger coming, but fortunately, after he struggled for a long time, he turned back to his room and closed the door.

Wang Chu knew that when she saw Li Xiangyang's hideous expression, her heart was already trembling, and even her heart was beating faster, so she could only return to the room temporarily and close the door of the small bedroom.

Unable to find a marriage certificate, Wang Chu had to go to the Civil Affairs Department and consult about the replacement of the marriage certificate if the marriage certificate was lost, and it didn't take long for the news of Li Xiangyang and Wang Chu's divorce to spread not only to the ears of the leaders.

This angered Li Xiangyang again, "Wang Chu, you want me to lose face in the organ, right?" Do you know what those people in the agency say? Say you, Wang Chu, want to divorce me? ”

"It's a fact that I'm divorcing you."

"But you have affected my work, and the leader has talked to me and asked me what is going on? Your wife came to divorce as soon as she turned positive, which one is the trouble? ”

"The leader is also in charge of household affairs, right? Why don't you tell the leader what Li Xiangyang did to me? Wang Chu didn't want to believe it.

"What do you think? If you continue to make trouble like this, maybe your job will be gone one day, where do you have any capital to mess with me again? ”

Wang Chu took a cold breath, his breath was short, his eyes were red, her eyes were stubbornly resisting Li Xiangyang, but fortunately, he chose to leave the house after a roar and thunder.

For a long time, Wang Chu spent time in pain and inextricability, she wanted to talk to Li Xiangyang calmly, but he didn't give her any chance at all, he went out early in the morning, and often came home after two o'clock in the evening, and finally blocked him at the door in the morning, "Li Xiangyang, let's talk, just give me ten minutes." ”

"I don't have time." Li Xiangyang pulled Wang Chu away and left.

Wang Chu was helpless, and was about to make up her mind to go to the Tumshuk court to deliver the complaint, when she put all the materials in the office into an envelope, Wang Xuewu entered her office.

"Wang Chu, come to my office."

"Oh." Wang Chu immediately put away the envelope bag and put it in the drawer.

Entering Wang Xuewu's office, he was pouring a glass of water into the cup, and the accountant came in from the door, so he waved his hand to let him out, "You go out first, I will talk to Wang Chu about something, and I will call you later." ”

The accountant said, "Okay." He stepped back and closed the door.

Wang Chu chuckled in his heart, talking to her in such a posture, eighty percent is closely related to Li Xiangyang, "Wang Chu sit." Wang Xuewu said, she complied, "What's the matter? He asked, "I've been working for a year, and now I've become a regular cadre and a regular cadre, so I should be handy with my work, right?" ”

"Okay." Wang Chu replied, "Thank you for your concern." ”

"Well, it can't be okay, it must be okay." Wang Xuewu said, "Last time, the leader also said that you are currently the youngest cadre in the regiment, and Director Li is the youngest director of the regiment organ, and both of you are very promising." ”

Wang Chu smiled slightly, "I don't know if there is a future, but I will work hard and not hold back our unit." ”

"You just joined the work, your husband must have a bright future, and he is a college student, it will be easy to be a regiment leader and political commissar in the future, what about you, you have to support his work, don't delay you because of a little misunderstanding between the two breaths, and also delay his future."

Wang Chu sneered lightly, but this kind of sneer could only be heard by herself, "Secretary Wang, what do you seem to have heard when you heard this?" ”

Wang Xuewu: "Hi! "I did hear some bad news, I heard that the two of you were getting divorced not long ago, and they all went to the leader, I, who is the eldest brother, persuade you, you have just turned positive now, you can't mess around, otherwise it will really affect your work." ”

"Then do you know what the leader said?"

"That didn't mean anything." Wang Xuewu explained, "I only heard that the leaders have some disagreements and opinions on your regularization, and I still say the same thing, you have finally become a regular, don't lose the hard-to-get work because of a little conflict at home." ”

"I know the secretary, thank you." Wang Chu was very lonely in her heart, her heart was already aching faintly, she used a long time to calm down, and when she walked out of the office, a feeling of suffocation came to her heart, making it difficult for her to breathe, she felt that her heartbeat was speeding up again, and the convulsions were uncomfortable, she forcibly returned home, and once again turned her crying into silent mode.

For several days, Wang Chu repeatedly recalled Wang Xuewu's words, and felt that the future was gloomy, as if he was about to fall into a desperate situation. At this moment, she felt so small, so small that she felt like a piece of sand in the desert, as small as a speck of dust in the air, as small as a drop of water in the sea, so insignificant, so powerless. No wonder Li Xiangyang racked his brains to climb up, it turned out that the power in his hands can make you from scratch, and it can also let you go from nothing to nothing.

At this moment, Wang Chu remembered a conversation with Yang Huimin, "Chu Chu, let me tell you, this is Li Xiangyang's routine, if you can't go back, he will solve the job for you and tie you for the rest of your life." ”

"Chu Chu, let me tell you, this is Li Xiangyang's routine, you can't go back, he wants to solve the job for you and tie you for the rest of your life."

"I have to go back and try no matter what the knife is, and if I try it right, I don't have to work so hard to find a job."

"You're just putting yourself in for a job?" Yang Zhizhi jumped like thunder, looked at her and asked, "You can see Chu Chu clearly, a man like Li Xiangyang is not worthy of your life, a dog can't change eating, he has already beaten you twice, do you still believe her?" Yes, he Li Xiangyang may stop for a year or two, but if you Wang Chu make a little mistake, as long as he seizes the opportunity, he will still do it, and it is more serious than before, do you believe it? ”

Thinking of this, Wang Chu locked all the materials in his hand to prepare for divorce in the office drawer, "I can endure it for a year, I can endure it for two years, or even three years, four years......." ”

Since then, Wang Chu has never mentioned the divorce again, she compromised, worried that the divorce would be in an uproar, so that the job she had worked so hard to get was gone, and in the end she still couldn't get Li Haoran's custody. She once again played herself as a good wife and mother, one line at two o'clock every day, commuting to and from work to pick up Li Haoran to and from school, cleaning up housework, cooking, and writing became the whole of her life.

Li Xiangyang seems to have restrained a lot, in order to make Wang Chu happy, he can be said to have spent a lot of effort and energy, took advantage of the business trip to buy her a pair of earrings and watches, and bought her several sets of clothes she likes to wear. He tries not to drink and socialize, tries to go home early, tidy up the house, do laundry, and never goes into the kitchen, he will often go into the kitchen to wash dishes and help cook.

Li Xiangyang also took Wang Chu and Li Haoran to Yili for a trip on 15 days of annual leave, and before going, he also bought a car with a full amount of 135,000 yuan. Li Xiangyang paid 50,000 yuan for the down payment, and made three installments for the rest, and repaid about 2,400 yuan every month.

At the beginning, Li Xiangyang specifically discussed this matter with Wang Chu, but she replied, "If you want a car, you can buy it, you don't need to discuss it with me." ”

During that time, it was very popular to buy cars in the group, and more than 20 people bought cars and came back. Whoever bought a Citroen, who bought a GAC Toyota, who bought an Audi A3, the wind will always last for a while, knowing that everyone knows, this gust of wind is in the past.

There are a lot of people in the regiment who buy more than 100,000 cars, and they are all people who have jobs and have a certain economic foundation at or above the deputy section level of the organs, but the people who buy hundreds of thousands of cars are the richest people. For example, the first richest man in the group drove an off-road Land Rover, the second richest man Maimaiti Yiming drove a domineering, whose boss's son drove a Toyota TOYOTA, Li Xiangyang had limited economy, so he had to pay a down payment and mortgage a car back.

In fact, the salary of the people in the regiment is not high, the monthly salary of cadres above the deputy section level is 2,400 yuan, 28000000 yuan a year without eating or drinking, and the husband and wife participate in the work for a year without eating or drinking about 50,000 yuan. The only good thing is that there is no place to eat, drink and have fun in the group, no KTV, no bar, no entertainment venue, no footwashing city, no beauty salon, to put it bluntly, there is not even a place to spend money, so. In the summer, most people plant vegetables in their own yards, basically can eat for more than half a year, and can only spend a few dollars to buy vegetables in winter, children go to school and kindergarten are all free, and the tuition fee for a semester of primary school is less than 300 yuan, so the salary of a year can basically save more than half.

When Wang Chu and Li Xiangyang went to Yili, it was the time when the lavender flowers were blooming, and the green all over the mountains also surprised her. I have lived in southern Xinjiang for more than ten years, and the desert and the Gobi Desert have long been confirmed in my bones. The snow-capped mountains, forests, grasslands, wildflowers, lavender and Sailim Lake in Ili gave her a taste of what true beauty is.

The first stop was to the sky grassland in Nalati, Li Xiangyang drove over one mountain after another, Li Haoran was the happiest one, he kept exclaiming, "Wow, it's so beautiful here, Mom, let's live here in the future." ”

"Little fool." Wang Chu said, "Mom and Dad don't work here, can't live here for a long time, Mom can fulfill your wish, let's live here tonight, okay?" ”

"yes yes, that's great." Li Haoran's face was full of innocence and splendor.

The car arrived at the top of the sky grassland, there is another world, the vast grassland is not beyond the boundary, from a distance, the slender green grassland from the south can not see the north, the west opposite peak is in front of you, the top is covered with snow, this is the height of summer, the temperature at the foot of the mountain is 28 degrees Celsius, the top of the mountain must be about minus 10 degrees Celsius.

Don't look slender, but walking to the opposite side, you may waste most of the day, located at the foot of the mountain less than 20 miles, is a row of yurt yurts, when you get there, the first smell is the smell of mare's milk wine.

Then came the sound of guitars and singing, and the beautiful dancing of Mongolian girls and boys shook the whole grassland. Snacks, ornaments, ethnic clothes, and the roar of horse racing in the distance will make people forget their worries and sorrows in an instant.

Playing the guitar is a young girl, with long black hair flowing to her waist, this sound alone can make people listen to it, a string of subdued notes constitute a swan song, her face is sad and beautiful, and her voice is passionate and soft, so that passers-by stop listening.

After a long silence in the fascination of singing and dancing, Wang Chu chose a yurt at the top of the mountain, where he could see all the scenery. In the distance, there are large fields of pine towers, Li Haoran runs all over the mountains to pull the unnamed wildflowers, and Li Xiangyang holds a camera to photograph the landscapes and people he thinks are the most appealing, including wildflowers. She stood in a clearing high up, a breeze blowing across her cheeks, over the grass on the grass, and over the pine trees not far away, all tilting in one direction. She liked it so much, looking at everything in front of her, she felt that her soul was cleansed, and those injuries that her heart could not bear were swept away in an instant.

Wang Chu believed that this was a holy place, a place where wounds could be healed.

The sound of horses not far away broke the momentary silence, and a woman dressed in Kazakh costume came on horseback, the dress was not good-looking, and the woman was not good-looking, she looked very thin and slender, but she had a bright smile on her face, the smile was not immature, but mature, and it seemed to be a little sad.

"Beauty, your first time on the prairie, right?" The woman tightened the horse's rope and made the horse stop.

"That's right, it's the first time I've been here." Wang Chu squinted at her, the sun piercing her eyes.

"Then you haven't ridden a horse, have you?" The woman asked again.

"Hmm." Wang Chu nodded with satisfaction.

"Would you like to experience it once?"

"I don't know how to ride a horse."

"I'll teach you."

Wang Chu was more interested in horseback riding, and nodded happily in agreement. The woman quickly flipped off the horse, patted the saddle, and motioned for her to come up. The whole process of turning on the horse's back was very difficult, even a little timid, and her legs were a little shaky.

"Don't be afraid, it's okay." The woman said that when Wang Chu got on the horse, before she could sit firmly, the woman quickly and dexterously turned on the horse's back, "Sit tight, I'll let you experience what real horseback riding is." ”

The horse began to walk downhill, Wang Chu sat very uncomfortably, at first walked very slowly, but when he reached the flat grass, the woman patted the horse's buttocks with a whip, and the horse ran.

Wang Chu seemed to feel that she was being taken off, the sky was extraordinarily blue, the grass was extraordinarily green, the flocks of sheep in the distance were extraordinarily white, the sun was extraordinarily bright, and the breeze was like a hand gently caressing her.

"It's beautiful." Wang Chu exclaimed.

"In this life, people should experience all the lives they have not experienced." The woman said, "Otherwise, I will lose my life." ”

Wang Chu frowned after hearing this, "You're right, can you hurry up?" ”

"Sit tight." The woman whipped the horse's buttocks with a whip, and the horses ran away as fast as they could.

Wang Chu's whole body felt like it was falling apart, and after running for more than ten minutes, he finally approached the hillside, and the horse slowed down, and the woman tightened the reins and let the horse turn around.

"It's a tower." The woman pointed to Wang Chu with her eyes, "Go there and experience it, you can see farther there." ”

"Okay, you said that people should experience everything they have never experienced in this life."

The woman first turned over and dismounted, and then helped Wang Chu off the horse, the tower was in front of her, the woman tied the horse to a pillar, and the two walked over, but before they climbed a few ladders, they saw smoke billowing not far away. The woman's brow furrowed and furrowed, her face tightened and tightened, and the smile faded into place, replaced by nervousness and uneasiness on her face.

"Something's wrong, come with me." The woman went down in a panic, Wang Chu also followed down the stairs, and the two rode on their horses and galloped away.

Ten minutes later, when we finally reached the place where the smoke was billowing out, a tent had been burned and collapsed, the fire had been extinguished by the herdsmen, and the crowd had dispersed, and next to them stood two girls, the older of whom were less than ten years old, with a little boy less than a year old in their arms, their faces and clothes painted with charcoal gray and colorless.

The woman got off the horse and ran to the child regardless of Wang Chu, she held the little girl's face with both hands, "Ya'er, are you okay?" Didn't burn you, did you? ”

The girl shook her head, "Mom, we're fine." ”

"I'm sorry baby." The woman held the three children in her arms, "I'm sorry, I was too careless and didn't take care of you." ”

Wang Chu struggled to climb down from the horse, "This is your child?" She asked.

"It's my child." The woman replied, wiping away the tears that were about to fall, "I'm sorry I couldn't fulfill your wishes. ”

"It's okay, you don't have to say sorry to me." Wang Chu said while looking at the burned out yurt, "The yurt is burned out, where do you live and your mother?" ”

The woman looked around, "It's okay. She pulled the child away and stood up, "I'll find a way to build another yurt." ”

"Where's the child's father?" Wang Chu asked.

The woman was suddenly silent, her face clearly showing a pang of pain, she withdrew her gaze and took her son from the arms of her eldest daughter. Wang Chu seemed to feel that she had said the wrong thing, she took out the money from her pocket and gave it to the woman, "You take this money." ”

"I can't ask for this money." The woman excused, "I'm sorry I didn't take you to see the scenery you want to see the most." ”

"You have to accept this money, and you have to build a yurt, and there are many places where you need money."

The woman looked at Wang Chu blankly, "Okay." She nodded, "Then I'll take it." ”

"The yurt burned out, where are you staying tonight?" Wang Chu asked.

"It's fine." The woman pretended to be strong and frowned, "I'll buy a blanket later, and spread it on the grass to solve the problem of sleeping." ”

"It's so damp on the ground, it's going to get sick, or go live with me, and we'll talk about it tomorrow."

"Nope." The woman refused, "How much trouble you have." ”

"Don't refuse someone who really helps you, that's it." After Wang Chu finished speaking, he held hands and pulled up the other two girls, "Let's go, let's get acquainted, don't refuse me." The corner of the woman's mouth showed a smile of relief, and she had to follow Wang Chu.

Li Xiangyang looked for Wang Chu for more than half an hour, and when he saw her, he frowned and asked, "Where are you going, don't say a word." "I never thought there were four people behind me.

Li Haoran ran from afar, holding all kinds of small flowers in his hands, "Mom, where have you been, we have been looking for you for a long time." ”

"Mom accidentally walked away, this won't come back, and I brought you two sisters and a younger brother to play with, okay?"

"Yes, yes!" Li Haoran jumped up happily.

"Brother, my sister will take you to the swing, okay?" The girl said.

"Swinging, I've seen swinging on TV, that's fun, sister, take me there." Li Haoran urged, the girl stretched out her hands, pulled Li Haoran up, and walked away with her sister jumping and jumping.

Li Xiangyang looked at Wang Chu with a displeased expression, he glanced at the woman and the son in her arms and asked, "Where did they come from?" ”

Wang Chu didn't want to answer Li Xiangyang's words, so he pulled the woman into the yurt, he had to frown unhappily, and simply took the camera and left, going to take pictures from a distance.

The sun has gradually receded, the night is coming, the curtain is lowered, there is some darkness in the yurt, Wang Chu lit the candle on the table, and then he could see the woman clearly.

"By the way, I haven't asked you yet, what's your name, my name is Wang Chu, you can call me Chu Chu, what about you?" Wang Chu asked.

"My name is Taliya." The woman replied, placing the boy in her arms on the couch, "...... you?" She asked in a tentative tone, "Did you quarrel with your lover?" ”

"You don't have to pay attention to him, he will always be the one who disciplines people." Wang Chu sat down, picked up the teapot, took two small bowls, poured a bowl of tea and handed it to Taliya.

"I'm talking about ......." Taliya was very sad, "Cherish the man in front of you, no matter how bad he is, there is no difference between having and not having it." ”

"Taliya, let's not talk about this." Wang Chu also poured a full cup of tea for himself, "This tea tastes good, you can taste it." ”

"Don't interrupt." Taliya looked at Wang Chu seriously, "I have lost my man, and he has left me forever." Her eyes were full of tears, "I would love to tell him in front of him that I love her." She twitched her nose and lowered her voice, trying not to cry, "but he left me forever, and I can only say that in front of his tombstone." ”

Wang Chu obviously felt that Taliya's crying had reached her throat, she would not comfort people, let alone say good words, she only felt that her mood followed Taliya's ups and downs, and after a long time, she added some tea to Taliya's cup, "Although the grassland is beautiful, it restricts a person's wealth and development, have you ever thought about living in the city and letting your children go to a better school in the future." ”

Taliya hesitated for a long time, "There are horses on the grassland, I can make a living without investment, but when I get to the city, it is difficult to find a job, I don't even have a place to live, and I can't survive with three children." ”

"Wrong." Wang Chu corrected, "It's your gaze that restricts everything about you, you have lived on the grassland since you were a child, and you haven't gone to the outside world to see, just like me, I have lived in the group since I was a child, and the environment I am in also restricts everything about me." As you said, people should experience everything they have not experienced in this life, and you should also experience it, even if it is to go out to do a small business, it is better than staying on the grassland. ”

Taliya sneered, "I don't even have the funds to start a small business, how easy is it?" ”

Wang Chu let out a cold breath and frowned, she looked at the yurt and asked, "How much does it cost to build such a yurt?" ”

"Uh......." Taliya carefully calculated the cost in her mind, "It's probably about two thousand." ”

"This yurt is two hundred yuan a night, if you build two yurts and catch up with the tourist season, you will earn a lot of money a month."

Taliya sneered again, "Where do I have the money to build a yurt, I only have a horse, and I can't sell it." ”

"Don't sell the horses." Wang Chu said, "That's also an income." As she spoke, she took out a card from her bag and handed it to Taliya, "I have 5,000 yuan in this card, and you can use it to build two yurts." ”

"It's not going to be done." Talia got up from her couch, "I can't ask for your money. ”

"I didn't tell you." Wang Chu took out a pen and paper and handed it to her, "I borrowed this money from you, and I have to pay it back with interest." ”

Taliya smiled, "Did I meet a nobleman?" ”

"Sort of." Wang Chu also smiled, "Write the IOU, and the principal will be interested!" ”

Taliya was so excited that she almost cried, she wrinkled her nose, sorted out her excited heart, brought paper and pen, and wrote down an IOU, "I recognize your sister." She said as she wrote, "Actually, I really need a little money as an investment, my children are still young, and when they grow up and go to school, it will cost money, and I know that it is impossible for me to make a good life for my three children with just one horse, so I accept your sponsorship." ”

"That's right."

Tong Liya handed the IOU to Wang Chu, "I really don't know how to thank you." ”

"You recognize me as a sister, don't see outside."

Li Xiangyang suddenly broke in, Wang Chu stuffed the IOU into his bag at a very fast speed, Tong Liya was very pale, and stuffed the bank card into her sleeve. He saw Ni Duan and looked at them with strange eyes, "You two are acting very suspicious, what are you talking about?" ”

"What can we say? It's nothing more than privacy between women. Wang Chu replied.

Li Xiangyang looked at Wang Chu, obviously feeling that her answer was not convincing, "When will my son come back?" Knowing that he couldn't get a result, he changed the subject.

"I'll take a look." Tong Liya got up, gently twisted Wang Chu's shoulder with her hand, and gestured with her eyes, this action seemed to be a reminder, "Talk to him well." But she knew very well that she had lost interest in even looking at the man in front of her.
