Chu Zhixi disliked the expensive catering in large shopping malls, and it was definitely not good and cheap, so he took Wu Mian out to eat.

The two of them casually found a restaurant around, and prepared to choose carefully after lunch. Wu Mian patiently did work for Chu Zhixi, this is to buy a couple's shirt, it is a matter of two people, and you must have a correct attitude.

Chu Zhixi just smiled, no matter what Wu Mian said, she was good at one bite, and one brother was right.

Wu Mian can't help her, if you want to say that her own girl is stingy, she can't say that. Not to mention anything else, I told the girl about the preparation of the orphanage, and she agreed without even asking how much it would cost.

But to say that she has no concept of money is not right. If you don't spend the money to buy a necklace, you won't spend it, and Chu Zhixi can't afford to have a meal in the shopping center.

There's no way, Wu Mian won't talk about her because of this little thing, as long as she's happy.

Lunch is very simple, one green pepper stir-fried meat, two bowls of rice. Wu Mian carefully observed Chu Zhixi's sensitivity to this saltiness.

Life lies in the accumulation of details, even if Wu Mian never forgets it, there was still too little accumulation of this kind in the past, and he is ready to start from now.

"Xiao Linzi, don't just drink alcohol, you still go to work in the afternoon. Three men sitting diagonally opposite each other were eating, one of them said.

Wu Mian remembered the three of them, two of them sitting on one side and the other sitting on the other side. There were two empty bottles on the table, small spirits in two halves, and the man was drinking the third.

The three of them should have just arrived, and they only served one dish, and the drinkers didn't see him eat, just lowered their heads and drank stuffy wine.

It is estimated that there is something to worry about, Wu Mian guessed.

But is it a bit too much to drink a pound at noon?

"It's okay, I've taken a leave of absence for the afternoon. The man who was drinking had a big tongue, and he didn't notice it at all, but he still held the bottle and drank it one bite at a time.

"Isn't there something wrong with you, you can't do anything if you drink too much. A man was admonishing the drinker across from him, and the man sitting next to him poked him in the elbow and motioned not to talk nonsense.

Speaking of the afternoon, the man who drank simply drank all the remaining strong wine in one gulp, and then shouted loudly, "Waiter, two more bottles." ”

"Xiaolin, don't drink it, it's almost there. The slightly older man persuaded, "Everyone is boiled out like this, it's not a big deal, and then insist on it." It's all the same. ”

"Brother Zhou. Xiao Lin's eyes were red, staring at the man opposite, and said, "You don't know, my dad said that he wanted to break off the father-son relationship with me, and my daughter-in-law said that she wanted to divorce me, and I ...... I ......"

It was clear that he had drunk too much, and his speech was slurred, like he had an egg in his innermost mouth. But his words were full of resentment and helplessness, and as he spoke, he slapped the table and shouted, "Waiter, wine!"

"Xiaolin, don't drink, don't drink. The older man held his hand and motioned to the waiter that he had drunk too much and left him alone, and then persuaded, "Don't you want a child, the family will sit down and discuss it carefully, and see if you are given a rest." ”

"Discuss, how to discuss. Xiao Lin's mouth was full of wine and his eyes were red, "My dad wants to hold his grandson, and my daughter-in-law also wants to have a child while she is young." But what do you want?

"Be quiet, don't make everyone eat. The older man looked around, and when he saw someone looking at him dissatisfied, he bent down slightly and made apologetic gestures to the diners around him.

"Both of us are from the countryside, so we can't borrow anything at all. Since graduation, we have been working early and late every day, working hard, working as cattle and horses, and saving up for a down payment. ”

"Actually, you know, the down payment is not enough. House prices are rising much faster than we are earning. ”

"I have a mortgage of hundreds of thousands, and I want a child at this time, what do I use to support my family!"

The more the man talked, the more excited he became, and the older man hurriedly sat down beside him, put his arm on his shoulder, and said, "It's the same when I'm young. After two years of hard work, I gritted my teeth and endured it. ”

"Brother, you don't know that I'm bitter in my heart. Xiao Lin lowered his head and spoke in a much quieter voice, "The house was bought, and he was in debt." If we don't have children, we can work together and have more money at home. But I can't say this, I'm a man, I have to have face!"

The words that he usually can't say are said to his colleagues through the strength of wine, Xiao Lin's emotions are a little out of control, and he stretches out his hand to fan his face, crackling.

"I don't have the face to tell my lover......"

"Doesn't she know?" the older man quickly grabbed Xiao Lin's hand and asked.

What she means is that if you don't have children, you will become an advanced maternal age. It doesn't matter how hard she has been in the past few years, if she gets older and older after this time, I'm afraid she won't be able to have children. ”

"She's quite a mother and wants to have a baby, but I can't hold it. Even if I had the heart, I wouldn't have the ability. Xiao Lin said, and the sadness in his heart came up, and he lay on the table and cried.

The older man sighed and persuaded, "Don't make a hasty decision just yet, go to the hospital and have an abortion." You can discuss it again, and when you calm down......"

"Brother, I'm quite calm. If I hadn't calmed down, this kid would have been. The man raised his head, his face was pale, and it seemed that the wine was rising, he retched, but did not vomit, and then wiped the non-existent vomit from his mouth, and continued, "Six thousand a month mortgage, this is money." ”

"The two old people are in good health now, but they are in their sixties. Brother, I'm over 60 years old! High blood pressure and diabetes are more or less a bit, and it is money to buy medicine. This doesn't count, once someone is seriously ill, they must be sent to the provincial capital for treatment and care. ”

"You say I work alone to earn money, what should I do?"

"Xiaolin, think about the good. The wrinkles at the corners of the middle-aged man's eyes deepened, and he sighed deeply and said, "That's all extreme cases." ”

"Stop coaxing me. Xiao Lin's eyes widened, but tears flowed down the corners of his eyes, and he couldn't stop, "This is inevitable, not this year, but also next year." No, let's just say that the old man is in good health, and he can hear that he is seventy or eighty years old, which is always okay. ”

"What about the child?" Xiao Lin said with red eyes, "That's a gold-swallowing beast, and his own child must be distressed, and he has to spend money on his child." I asked a few colleagues, even if the conditions are not good, it costs two or three thousand a month. ”

There is nothing special about sentence by sentence, many people have faced and experienced it. That's life, isn't it?
