Zhiqiang washed up early and went back to the house to meditate, looking forward to his wife Ah Lian ending a busy day. Life in the countryside is simple and simple, and after dinner, chatting is a time to rest. But Ah Lian always seems to be busy with things, and the children have fallen asleep peacefully, but she looks restless, which makes Zhiqiang feel confused. Is it because she knows that I will go south to Guangdong tomorrow, and she is a little reluctant?
Time flies, it is the eighth day of the Lunar New Year in a blink of an eye, and many people in the village have begun to pack their luggage, ready to embark on the journey again. During the Chinese New Year, the family was busy cooking food and visiting relatives and friends, and Zhiqiang felt that he had gained a lot of weight. And Ah Lian can always change tricks to make delicious dishes, which makes Zhiqiang feel happy.
However, after eating this morning, Ah Lian's behavior was a little abnormal, and the dishes clanged. The mother could only comfort and say: "The years are safe, rich and glorious." Zhiqiang sat at the head of the bed and waited, a little impatient in his heart, but he didn't want to call Ah Lian loudly, for fear of waking up the child, so he lit a cigarette.
After a long time, Ah Lian finally returned to the room, but with a dark face, she turned off the light and got into the quilt directly, not even caring that Zhiqiang was still smoking. Zhiqiang thought that Ah Lian was like this because he was reluctant to leave home, and he was secretly proud in his heart. He snuffed out the cigarette butt and approached Ah Lian.
I'm leaving home tomorrow, and you ignore me. Zhiqiang whispered in Ah Lian's ear.
Don't touch me! Ah Lian pushed Zhiqiang away, with unprecedented determination in her voice.
Zhiqiang was stunned, he tried to suppress his anger and turned on the light. "What's wrong with you? What kind of nerves do you have? As soon as he finished speaking, the light lit up the room, and I saw Ah Lian's face full of tears.
What happened to you? Zhiqiang asked anxiously.
Don't you know what you've done? Ah Lian's tears rolled down like beads with broken threads. "Today, the child is still holding a ** and asking me, who is she. ”
Zhiqiang was like a bolt from the blue, and his mind was in chaos. It turned out that today he gave his mobile phone to the children to play, and the children turned to the ** photo he was reluctant to delete on the train - a photo with Xiaoli.
A ** makes you so angry? That's just a photo with a regular colleague when the company organizes a trip. If you don't like it, just delete it. Zhiqiang tried to stay calm as much as possible, and his eyes were firm.
Don't open your eyes and talk nonsense, look at your love and affection, I don't know how long we've been together. Ah Lian said bitterly.
You just guess randomly, don't I have to socialize with people outside? Do you see that every time I pay my salary, I send it home? Do I still have spare money and leisure to raise a woman? Zhiqiang said it categorically.
I-" Zhiqiang interrupted Ah Lian's words, using all his tenderness and thoughtfulness to dispel the doubts in Ah Lian's heart. He knew that if he didn't handle this matter well, the family might fall apart. Zhiqiang understands women's minds very well.
Under the flickering lights, the figures of the two staggered and stumbled. I don't know how long it took for the lights to fall silent, and the two looked at each other, silent and silent. "If you don't worry, I won't go out, just farm at home. Zhiqiang said softly.
If you don't go out, you won't be in a hurry to die if you are good outside. Ah Lian's tone became gentle and calm, and she didn't show a trace of anger.
You're here again, do you still want to beat you? Zhiqiang said, "You don't know how hard it is to be alone outside for many years, and you don't even have a person to talk to." When I miss you, you're not around. ”
Am I at home? Others say I'm a widow. Ah Lian said angrily.
We have been separated for a long time, not to support this family and live a good life. When I make money for another year, I won't go out, and we'll be together every day. Zhiqiang said.
I don't care, you're looking for a good match outside. I can find wild men in the village. Ah Lian said angrily.
Don't you dare! Zhiqiang said angrily.
What don't I dare, it's just that you do the first year of junior high school and I do the fifteenth. "Ah Lian is not to be outdone.
I swear, I don't have a woman outside, or I won't die well. Zhiqiang stretched out his five fingers as he said and swore to the sky.
What kind of poisonous oath did you make during the New Year, if you die, won't I become a widow? Ah Lian hurriedly covered Zhiqiang's mouth, and felt sorry for him in her heart. Seeing Ah Lian like this, Zhiqiang was relieved. He knew that this was the only trick that would convince his wife. He took a deep breath and said something else to Ah Lian, such as what time to take the car tomorrow, what time to wake up, whether the luggage was packed, and so on.
The next day, Ah Lian still got up early and made dumplings for Zhiqiang to eat. After eating dumplings, Zhiqiang embarked on a new year's journey under the eyes of his family. Ah Lian leaned outside the chai door and watched Zhiqiang's back as he walked away, tears couldn't stop flowing down, and finally cried out loud. The mother-in-law felt a little confused, they were also old husbands and wives, but they still comforted their daughter-in-law and said, "When you miss him, call him to come back and stay for a few days." The mother-in-law didn't understand Ah Lian's feelings, because she herself was a widow when she was young, but she never cried, and she didn't come over the same. When the children saw their mother crying, the youngest one also cried, and their father left home, and they were also reluctant to let go. The mother-in-law had no choice but to dismiss the children, take out ten yuan from their trouser pockets and tell them to buy something to eat. The children had money, and they quickly ran away with a smile, and their father was away all year round, and they had long been used to it.
