I'm Wang Lei, 32 years old, and I've been married to my husband Lu Haibin for 4 years. In fact, we knew each other more than 10 years ago, when we were high school classmates. At that time, I was like an obscure ugly duckling, often ignored because of my mediocre appearance.
My parents run a Sichuan restaurant in the county, and I am the youngest daughter of the family, and I am very much loved. Although I had a carefree life, I even had a little baby fat in high school, which made me feel neglected in school and developed a somewhat inferior personality. I always try to avoid attracting attention, and I like to hide in the corner and hide myself more and more.
Although my science grades were not satisfactory, my language scores were not bad. In my high school days, I used to peek in math class, which also led to my academic progress not being as good as I should be. At my table was the most beautiful female classmate in the class, Zhang Yan, who had a tall figure, a pair of almond eyes, and was fair-skinned.
I found out that many boys in the class had confessed to her, which made me full of envy for her. Lu Haibin, a member of the Xi Committee sitting in the back row of us, silently likes Zhang Yan and is very attentive to her, often helping her with meals and delivering snacks to express his heart.
Looking back now, in those youthful years, Lu Haibin did not ignore me because I was not amazing. He always looked at me with warm eyes and made me feel noticed and understood. During those years, he became a light in my life and led me out of the shadow of low self-esteem. Time flies, many years have passed in the blink of an eye, and now I am no longer the shy ugly duckling. Thanks to Lu Haibin's companionship and care, I have found confidence and happiness in my marriage. Since I have always been at the same table as Zhang Yan and have a relatively easy-going personality, she, a flamboyant and confident girl, naturally regards me as someone to talk to.
She told me privately: "Although Lu Haibin looks okay, he is a rural person and his family is not good, so I won't take a fancy to him!."”
Although I pretended to smile indifferently, there was actually some pain in my heart. They didn't know that I liked Lu Haibin, and if he attacked me, I would definitely agree to his overtures without hesitation.
Lu Haibin had no feelings for me, and even often joked about my appearance, jokingly calling me a little chubby girl. At one point he even tied my long braids to a chair and laughed.
As the saying goes: a woman is willing to pay a lot to please the person she likes. In my junior year of high school, in order to attract Lu Haibin's attention, I stopped letting him make fun of me as a chubby girl, and started dieting, crazy**.
However, Zhang Yan is not optimistic about Lu Haibin, her goal is to have a son in the same grade with a superior family, his parents are big bosses, and they are very eye-catching in the school.
In the end, Zhang Yan and this generous son-in-law came together and started a campus romance in a high-profile manner.
After graduating from high school, Brother Gongzi continued to accept his parents' sponsorship to go to college, while Zhang Yan could only find a job in a gold jewelry store in the county due to poor grades, and the relationship between the two naturally came to an end.
Lu Haibin was admitted to a university in another province, and I felt a little disappointed because I didn't get into the undergraduate program and had to go to a junior college in the city. After graduating, I went back to my parents and helped them run the restaurant.
Since Zhang Yan and I were still in the same county, she often came to see me after work, and we re-established the deep friendship we had in high school. When I was 27 years old, at the urging of my parents, I reluctantly participated in a blind date. I have always been skeptical of blind dates, feeling that such a hasty marriage is not strong enough, lacks an emotional foundation, and is difficult to last.
Although I was against blind dates, under the pressure of my mother, I had to take the plunge to participate, thinking that I would not suffer a loss when we met, anyway, I could admit that I was not interested in it, and they could not force me.
The matchmaker arranged for us to meet at the teahouse in Riverside Park. When I came to the door of the teahouse, I suddenly heard someone next to me shouting: "Little chubby girl!".”
When I looked up, it turned out to be Lu Haibin, and a burst of excitement suddenly surged in my heart, is he the object of my blind date today?Lu Haibin looked at me and said happily: "It's really you, little fat girl, why did you lose weight like this?."Is there a famine?”
I responded: "Lu Haibin, I'm so thin, you still call me a little fat girl?."How did you end up here, though?Is it your ...... who I want to see?”
Lu Haibin smiled and nodded: "Yes, my parents asked me to meet a girl, and when I heard your name, I thought it was a stranger with the same name, so I was a little curious and wanted to see if it was really you." ”
This is really a narrow road, I can't be sure whether I am happy or excited, in short, I didn't listen to what the matchmaker said, I just kept smirking at Lu Haibin. It's so fun and exciting to go on a blind date with a male god in high school!
Lu Haibin is a computer science major, and after graduating from university, he and several classmates founded an electronic product company, which is still in the entrepreneurial stage. They struggled all night, so they never had time to have a girlfriend.
So, Lu Haibin and I met so magically, maybe because I became thinner and looked more attractive, he didn't dislike me, but left his mobile phone number and officially started our relationship.
It was only a few months later that I revealed the news to Zhang Yan. At first, I had some scruples, after all, Lu Haibin once liked Zhang Yan, if they learned that the other party was not married, would it evoke old love?
Therefore, I never told Zhang Yan about my relationship with Lu Haibin until Zhang Yan took the initiative to tell me that she was in a relationship with a former soldier from the Urban Management Bureau and was about to get married.
Zhang Yan's eyes widened and she scolded me angrily: "Dead girl, you actually hide such a big thing from me, and punish you for inviting me to dinner!.""Of course, I also contacted Lu Haibin later and invited Zhang Yan to have a meal with her chengguan boyfriend. We had a very pleasant time drinking and eating skewers at the barbecue restaurant.
Zhang Yan's boyfriend is a tall, burly and smiling man, who looks very simple, even a little honest, and is obedient to Zhang Yan.
Still, I have a keen sense that Zhang Yan is constantly looking at Lu Haibin and sometimes looking at her boyfriend, as if to make a comparison.
It gave me a sense of crisis. When Lu Haibin sent me home, I couldn't help but ask, "Do you still have feelings for Zhang Yan?"After all, she was your goddess in high school. ”
Lu Haibin put his arm around my shoulders and smiled, "Have you drunk too much, or are you jealous?"The good feeling when I was a student was just a momentary impulse, and now with you, I only take you to heart and don't think about other people anymore. Don't think about it. ”
I looked at my boyfriend with joy and giggled. Indeed, since Lu Haibin and I fell in love, he has kept in touch with me almost every day, and no matter how busy he is, whenever he receives a message from me, he will almost always reply quickly.
Lu Haibin works in the city, 46 kilometers away from our county seat, but he comes back every weekend. In order to save money and to exercise, he often chooses to ride a mountain bike home.
Sometimes, we went to the countryside together to visit his parents, and sometimes he would stay in our hotel to help. Lu Haibin wears a pair of short-sighted glasses, giving people a scholarly temperament. However, he often does what he can in our restaurant, such as mopping the floor and washing the dishes and chopsticks, which makes the guests who come to eat quite curious.
Once Zhang Yan learned about my relationship with Lu Haibin, she invited us out for a party every weekend, sometimes just the three of us, sometimes with her colleagues.
I knew that Zhang Yan liked to be lively, so I didn't refuse her invitation. It's just a little strange, didn't she say that she was going to marry her boyfriend right away?Why hasn't there been any progress?
When I asked Zhang Yan, she replied with some dissatisfaction: "He is too dull and has no interest at all, and I am considering whether to marry him." ”
I reassured: "He has a formal job, he is reliable, and he has his own house in the city, so it's not easy to find such a person, so don't be too picky." ”
However, Zhang Yan said: "Of course you are happy to find such a satisfactory object, Lu Haibin opened his own company, he is talented and rich, you really earned it." ”
I defended: "How can Lu Haibin have so much money now?".His family is in the countryside, his parents are farmers, and there are only two old houses in the family, if you go to his house to see, you may have an impression of him. ”
Zhang Yan smiled: "Is Lu Haibin's family really that poor?"Isn't his company profitable?”
I had no choice but to tell the truth: "The company he founded with a few classmates is still in its infancy, and it really hasn't made a profit yet." They only pay themselves a basic salary of 4,000 yuan every month, and the rest are kept in the company as operating funds, and they will consider dividends when the company is profitable. At the end of last year, they each received more than 20,000 yuan. ”
Zhang Yan smiled relievedly, she has high requirements for men, and naturally she will not easily accept economic instability. I'm in love, and after a year of dating, we're getting closer.
My parents were also very fond of Lu Haibin and they helped with the down payment when we got married, and my mom was going to fund our renovation costs. However, the future parents-in-law sent a gift of 100,000 yuan to help our marriage. Lu Haibin explained: "My parents worked in the countryside, and they couldn't save much money for my education all these years. The 100,000 yuan was collected by borrowing some yuan, and I'm really sorry for them. ”
I understand the financial situation of my parents-in-law, so I did not let them pay for the dowry. At the wedding, Lu Haibin handed me a red envelope of 20,000 yuan, which was a scene.
Later, I learned that he had borrowed money from a friend, and I immediately transferred the money to him so that he could pay off his friend's debt so as not to cause further trouble.
When Lu Haibin and I got married, Zhang Yan and her boyfriend also came to congratulate us, and since then we have maintained a relationship of frequent visits to each other and often party together.
Some people say that I have a "round nose" and have a prosperous life, and Lu Haibin often makes fun of me, saying that he is fond of my big nose.
I'm not sure if that's accurate, but in short, after I married Lu Haibin, his career went well and the company started to make a profit.
My husband helped his parents pay off their debts, and because the old man did not want to leave the country, he renovated their home for them, and laid concrete floors in the yard and the village road in front of the gate so that we could go back and visit them.
Subsequently, the husband purchased a scooter worth more than 200,000 yuan, which made it more convenient for him to go to work in the city. There's no need to ride my little electric car anymore when I'm hanging out with friends on the weekend.
At the end of last year, after my husband got the company's dividends, I considered that he had been renting a house in the city and only came back on weekends, so I discussed with him and purchased a 120-square-meter house in the city, so that he could have a stable residence in the city, and I could go to the city to live at any time in the future.
Of course, our friends have always known about buying a car and a house, especially Zhang Yan, and we get together almost every week or two.
One weekend, Lu Haibin called me, saying that the company was busy with work and needed to work overtime, and he might not be able to go home. I didn't pay much attention to it because he occasionally worked overtime and couldn't go home, so I comforted him and told him that it was okay to come back next week.
Actually, I had good news to tell my husband at the time, and I decided to wait for him to come back, considering that he would not be able to come back for the time being. However, what I didn't expect was that the next morning, before dawn, Lu Haibin appeared at my doorstep. Since I lived alone, I locked the door behind my back, and his knock was so loud that it woke me up from my dream.
When I opened the door and saw Lu Haibin, I was surprised and delighted and asked, "Didn't you say that you can't come back if you have to work overtime?"”
After Lu Haibin walked into the house, he showed a trance expression on his face, held my arm tightly, and said excitedly: "Dear, you have to believe me, I didn't do anything to be sorry for you, really!."”
I looked at Lu Haibin suspiciously, bothered by his statement, and he hurriedly began to explain. It turned out that after he called me ** yesterday, Zhang Yan sent him another message, urgently asking him to come back. Zhang Yan said that yesterday was her birthday party, and her boyfriend booked a room at the hotel to celebrate with friends.
Knowing that I would also be attending the party, we were going to meet directly at the hotel, so he had to take a leave of absence and drive back to the hotel. However, when Lu Haibin arrived at the hotel, he didn't see anyone else, only Zhang Yan was there alone.
Because he drove hard, Zhang Yan handed him a bottle of water. Lu Haibin took the water bottle and drank a few sips, and when he saw that everyone hadn't arrived yet, he offered to drive to pick me up. But Zhang Yan grabbed Lu Haibin and said that she had an argument with her boyfriend and was in a low mood, hoping that Lu Haibin, as an old classmate, could listen to her thoughts, okay?
Lu Haibin was embarrassed to refuse, and sat down to listen to Zhang Yan's complaints, but he fell asleep unconsciously in the process of listening. When Lu Haibin woke up this morning, he found that he and Zhang Yan were lying in the same room, in the same bed. Frightened, he hurriedly dressed and hurried back.
Lu Haibin explained to me again and again: "My dear, I really don't know anything, it must be Zhang Yan who calculated me, there must be something wrong with that bottle of water, I have fallen asleep, and absolutely nothing happened to me and her." ”
I was dumbfounded and in disbelief. How could Zhang Yan do such a thing?For Lu Haibin, we have been in love and dated for nearly three years, I believe in his character, he will not deceive me, otherwise he would not be so anxious.
I smiled and said to my husband, "As long as you say no, I will completely believe you." And, I have good news for you, I'm pregnant and we're going to be mom and dad!Lu Haibin hugged me tightly in surprise, and shed tears of relief while being surprised.
We decided to cut ties with Zhang Yan. One weekend night more than a month later, my husband and I were about to fall asleep when his mobile phone suddenly rang and we received a text message from Zhang Yan: "I am pregnant, the child is yours, you want to marry me." ”
Lu Haibin was so angry that he slammed his phone on the floor, and kept muttering: "Impossible!."She must be framing me!I believed in Lu Haibin, so I calmly picked up my phone from the floor and replied to Zhang Yan with a text message: "I have been examined in the hospital, I can't have children, you still think carefully, whose child is it." ”
After that, Zhang Yan did not contact me again, and our friendship was severed, and there was no more opportunity to get together. My husband and I removed her from all ***. Now, Lu Haibin and I are two and a half years old, and we plan to add a sister to him when he turns three.
Our lives are now peaceful and happy. I think this is mainly due to the fact that I trusted my husband enough and responded intelligently to the provocations of my rival, which kept our marriage happy. As for Zhang Yan, although we are no longer in touch, I learned through my classmates that she eventually married her chengguan boyfriend. I sincerely wish her happiness in the future!
