35 this year

Chapter 16 The past is gone with the wind?can't do it, thanks

When Xu Hong was comforting Sheng Min, Chang Qing had already woken up and was preparing breakfast in the kitchen. Huang Guanyang got up from his noise, stood at the door of the kitchen and said, "Are you stimulated by that woman?" ?” If Huang Guanyang complained about Xu Hong before, then Xu Hong is a heinous crime to him now.

While cracking the eggs into the pot, Chang Qing said, "No, I'm very well now." Chang Qing was really very well, because finally someone was blaming him, scolding him, saying that it was him The problem.After the accident that year, all the people around him, including the girl's parents, comforted him. They said that old age, sickness and death have nothing to do with others. A life is lost in an instant, but people, how can it disappear so easily, even if you want to die and want to atone for your sins, you have to have the courage.The more no one blamed him, the more Chang Qing blamed himself. He always felt that it would be better if he was braver and more mature.It's all right now, Xu Hong told him clearly that all his depression and self-blame were deserved, and they were the price he should pay. The choked air was finally relieved.So, he's doing really well now.

Huang Guanyang rested his head on the door frame helplessly and said, "I will repeat for the last time, I do not agree with you to associate with her."

Chang Qing looked at him and said, "No one said they wanted to date me."

"Are you mean?" Huang Guanyang felt that he couldn't understand Chang Qing's sudden enthusiasm.

Chang Qing looked at him again, smiled slyly, and asked, "Don't you think she doesn't look like she's over 30?"

Huang Guanyang let out a disdainful snort from his nostrils, and said, "Can it be like a woman in her 30s? Apart from going to work, she does fitness and reading books. It is said that she has also signed up for some courses. She is far away from her parents and has nothing to worry about. Other women like her age After work, whether she will go home to cook and take care of the children, or serve her parents, and take care of the big family, she does nothing, and the extra time is spent on herself."

Huang Guanyang originally wanted to explain that Xu Hong, a woman, is very selfish, but Chang Qing only picked out the information he wanted to hear, and then said, "Oh, I'm still working out, no wonder my hands are so strong."

Huang Guanyang looked at him again, and said bitterly, "I think you are a bitch." After speaking, he checked the time and it was time to get ready for work, so he went into the bathroom to wash up.

When Huang Guanyang was leisurely checking the information in the office, he received a message from Sheng Min.Sheng Min asked, "Do you have time in the evening? Can you help me?" In fact, Huang Guanyang can think of what Sheng Min wants him to help. With many years of experience in personnel affairs, he knows very well the contradictions between these married women and their husbands. Just work.This is exactly the information Huang Guanyang was waiting for.

Huang Guanyang asked Sheng Min to go to a restaurant for dinner after get off work. After making the appointment, he thought about it again and told Chang Qing about the "date", hoping to get Chang Qing's approval, but Chang Qing uncharacteristically refused to go, saving Xu Xu Hiro is bored.As a result, after Huang Guanyang met Sheng Min at night, he realized that it was a coincidence. Xu Hong didn't go either. Chang Qing was afraid of making people unhappy, so people avoided him.

While waiting for the food, Huang Guanyang calmly waited for Sheng Min to speak.Today's Sheng Min is obviously well-dressed, although the white shirt is a little yellow, but it is ironed smoothly, the silk skirt perfectly outlines her good figure, and there is even powder on her face that has never been made up .Such an outfit looked extremely uncoordinated on Sheng Min's body, even a bit pretentious.

Sheng Min held a glass of lemonade in his hand, puffed up a few times, and finally said, "I thought Chang Qing would be with you."

Huang Guanyang said very generously and decently, "He has something to do tonight."

"What a coincidence, Xu Hong is also busy." After finishing speaking, Sheng Min took a sip of water, and Huang Guanyang felt that he needed to guide this topic.

"Is there something important that you are looking for me today?"

Sheng Min looked up at him, hesitated to speak again but stopped.Then I mustered up the courage again and said, "I want to come out to work, can you help me?"

Huang Guanyang picked up a freshly served dish with chopsticks, put it in Sheng Min's bowl, and said, "If you want to work, you can submit your resume directly."

Sheng Min became embarrassed again and said, "I haven't worked for a long time, I don't know if there is a company that wants it."

"What major are you studying?"

"marketing."

After Sheng Min finished speaking, Huang Guanyang gave a negative answer in his mind.This major typically focuses on practice, and Sheng Min has not been to work for more than ten years, and has long been divorced from the real market. She still does marketing. Does she know what marketing routines are in place now?

Huang Guanyang asked again, "Have you worked before? What did you do?"

Sheng Min nodded and said, "Well, I have had two jobs, both of which were administrative." Sheng Min looked at Huang Guanyang, not even daring to touch the dishes in the bowl.

Huang Guanyang brought her new dishes again and said, "What are you cooking?"

"Well... it is to receive visitors and do some registration information, including serving tea to guests, clearing up teacups when someone finishes using the meeting room, and so on."

Huang Guanyang frowned again and said, "Is that all? Isn't it your job to do attendance?"

"Ah, yes, I've done it." Actually, Xu Hong told Sheng Min about the current administrative work. Each company has different settings, and the administrative staff are responsible for different tasks. Some need to be responsible for attendance statistics, and some The salary calculation is required. The most outrageous thing she has heard is that some administrations still need to go through the procedures of social security.Sheng Min thought, why is the current administration so difficult, Xu Hong smiled and said, well, it’s just a title, one person holds multiple jobs, and it’s just called giving you room to learn.

Sure enough, just after Sheng Min finished thinking about it, Huang Guanyang asked the question. Seeing Sheng Min shaking his head one by one, Huang Guanyang made a embarrassed expression, and said distressedly, "This is not easy." Added a chopstick dish to Sheng Min.

Seeing Sheng Min's whole face collapsed, Huang Guanyang asked again, "You haven't worked for so many years, why do you want to work again now?"

After thinking about it, Sheng Min decided to be honest with Huang Guanyang.She said, "Because something happened to my husband, I need to come out to work."

"what's up?"

"He quit his job and wanted to pursue his dream, and he wanted to take his parents over to live with me. I really couldn't get along with the elderly, so I wondered if it would be better if I came out to work." Sheng Min still felt that Wronged, although she hasn't contributed to this family yet, she feels that she has already begun to make sacrifices for this family.

Huang Guanyang pretended to be casual and asked, "What is your husband's dream?" Sheng Min froze at this question, yes, what is her husband's dream?He kept saying that he wanted to pursue his dream, but what was his dream?He never said it, not only did he not say it now, he never said it before, except yesterday when he came back, before that, he never mentioned the dream.

Huang Guanyang looked at the bewildered Sheng Min again and said, "I'm not provoking it. Most men suddenly say that they want to make changes. Maybe there is something wrong with your marriage. You should be more careful and think of yourself."

Sheng Min looked up at Huang Guanyang again, why didn't she know it, she knew that her husband had been active for a long time, but she was not sure how active his mind was.So, are you really chasing your dreams this time?Or is it because of that active thinking that he is thinking about divorce step by step?But if he wants to divorce, will he bring his parents over and sell the house in his hometown?

Huang Guanyang seemed to see through her mind, and beat her with words.He said, "If, I'm just saying, if there is something wrong with your marriage, and he insists on bringing your parents over to be taken care of by you at this time, does that mean that not only does he not want a divorce, but he also wants to take you as a free babysitter? "

The free babysitter hit Sheng Min's dissatisfaction. Sheng Min followed Huang Guanyang's words and thought about it. The more he thought about it, the more terrifying Sheng Min felt. Let Sheng Min take care of her, and take the money to have fun with other women, so what happened to her?That's right, it's a free nanny, a nanny who only pays 2000 yuan a month.Suddenly, Sheng Min felt trembling all over.

Huang Guanyang looked at her, but then changed into a relaxed tone and said, "Let's eat first, maybe I didn't think so badly, you are husband and wife, you still need to communicate well." After saying this, Huang Guanyang didn't say anything about Sheng Min's marriage From his point of view, he thinks that point to the end is the best communication boundary.

While Huang Guanyang and Sheng Min were eating, Chang Qing drove Wang Yihan home, and in the name of gratitude, he brought toys for the children to Yuhe's flowers and came to the door.When Chang Qing entered the door, Yu He was bringing out the soup from the kitchen. Looking at Chang Qing, Yu He was stunned for a moment, and then looked at the living room. Chang Qing looked, and Xu Hong, who was holding Nuonuo, was also watching he.

A smile appeared on Chang Qing's face, and Yu He's husband also said with surprise, "What a coincidence, no one said hello, and they all bumped into each other."

Yu He looked at Xu Hong, and her eyes indicated that it really had nothing to do with her. She didn't tell her husband that Xu Hong was here.Xu Hong naturally knew that Yuhe would not betray himself to this extent no matter what.

Chang Qing gave the things to Yu He, took off his shoes and walked towards Xu Hong and the child. From Chang Qing's point of view, Xu Hong should like the child very much.In fact, Chang Qing was a little scared of a child like Nuonuo, after all, he looked different from normal children, but he relaxed and interacted with the child in Xu Hong's arms.

Xu Hong tilted his head and said in a gentle tone that Chang Qing had never heard before, "Nuo Nuo, call him uncle." The child couldn't bark, so he gave Chang Qing a smiling face, and Chang Qing was pleasantly surprised.Xu Hong said again, "We Nuonuo, our smile is the cutest."

Chang Qing stretched out his hand to touch the child, but Xu Hong hid himself and said, "Your body is dirty, don't touch the child casually." Chang Qing stood up with a smile and was about to wash his hands, Yu He then asked them to wash their hands and eat.This time, Yuhe's mother-in-law did not avoid it, and sat at the dining table with the child.At the dinner table, because of Chang Qing's abnormal behavior towards Xu Hong, the old man made jokes between them.The mother's self-assessment hit Wang Yihan's heart, and Wang Yihan was happy to match the two again, saying that the two were a match made in heaven.Yu He looked at Xu Hong and felt that she had endured really hard tonight.

When Chang Qing and Xu Hong left together, Yu He's husband suggested that Chang Qing send Xu Hong back. There is still a certain distance between Min's house and Yuhe's house, and it takes more than an hour to drive. In case of traffic jam again, it is already very late now, and Chang Qing has to go to work tomorrow. After seeing off Xu Hong, he will go back to his home. When is this... Yu He thinks that her husband is so reckless, maybe he has offended others in the company.But Chang Qing seemed to be waiting for this proposal. Seeing Chang Qing looking at him with a questioning look, Xu Hong smiled and played sloppy eyes.

"It's a bit far away, forget it, you have to go to work tomorrow, I can take a taxi or take the subway back."

"Then I'll take you to the subway." Chang Qing replied directly, and Yu He glanced at her husband again, as if to blame him for talking too much.

After all, it was time to get on Changqing's car, so Xu Hong said goodbye to Yuhe and his wife, and followed him into the car.After getting in the car, Chang Qing started the car and said, "The old lady is just joking, don't think about it." Xu Hong thought that the old lady was talking about Yuhe's mother-in-law, and then echoed, "Old man, I like doing things the most. Make a fuss about the mandarin ducks." A smile appeared on the corner of Chang Qing's mouth, a very tolerant smile.

While driving, Chang Qing asked her, "When are you leaving?" "Tomorrow." After receiving Xu Hong's answer, Chang Qing looked at her face sideways in surprise, and Xu Hong pointed to the front, telling him to be careful. drive.

Chang Qing said, "I thought you were hiding from me tonight, but you came to say goodbye." Then Chang Qing said, "Let's find a place to sit."

"It's very late..." Before Xu Hong finished speaking, Chang Qing cut him off. Chang Qing said, "I have something I can't understand, and I want to talk to you." "What's the matter?" "Find a place Sit down." Chang Qing said as he turned the car in the direction of the bar.

When Xu Hong got out of the car and saw the brightly lit signboard, she felt dizzy for a while. She said, "Do you like it, or do you think I'm a drunkard?" Chang Qing's face showed surprise again, and Xu Hong looked around. After taking a look, there happened to be a coffee shop among the many tavern signs. Xu Hong said, "Let's have a cup of coffee." Xu Hong felt that if she didn't drink something refreshing, her brain would stop functioning.

After entering the cafe, Xu Hong ordered black coffee and sat on a sofa in the non-smoking area. Chang Qing frowned again, thinking that perhaps Xu Hong's addiction to smoking was not as heavy as that of alcohol.

Chang Qing and Xu Hong sat on the same sofa, and Xu Hong turned his head to look at him questioningly. Chang Qing gestured between the sofas and said, "It's not convenient to talk." Xu Hong looked around, and there were indeed very few people. , very quiet, if the conversation between the two is far away, all the conversations between the two will be heard by the clerk.

The light in the coffee shop was a bit dim, but when it hit Xu Hong's face, she looked very charming, a kind of time-honored taste that young women don't have.Xu Hong looked at Chang Qing again, waiting for him to speak.

Chang Qing moved his intoxicated eyes away from her face, took a sip of the water on the table and said, "Actually, I really want to know, why don't you get married?"

none of your business?This sentence almost blurted out, but Xu Hong held back. After all, the other party is a person who has a good impression of him and is obedient, so let him be obedient. He will leave tomorrow anyway. how is it.Although Xu Hong doesn't want to have an intimate relationship with any man beyond friends, it doesn't mean that she doesn't like to be admired by others. She still has the vanity of human beings.

Just as Xu Hong was about to speak, the clerk brought the coffee, and Xu Hong took it, holding the coffee in his hand, it was warm, and it was just right to drink it at this time.Xu Hong took a few sips of coffee to clear his mind, and then asked, "Do you want to hear the formula or the truth?"

"What's formulaic?"

"Well... I am asked this question countless times every year, why don't you get married, don't you have someone you like, don't your parents remind you... every time I say love, I have tried it, but I don't feel like it It suits me, this is a 'job' where you work hard and don't necessarily get rewarded, so I might as well devote myself to things that pay off as long as I work hard, such as fitness and work."

"Maybe you haven't met the right person for you."

After Chang Qing finished speaking, Xu Hong laughed lightly. In her expectation, this is indeed what a man would continue to say. Chang Qing is a typical man.Xu Hong laughed, and then said, "Why do you guys like to pack yourself up as a savior so much? When you are not together, you flaunt yourself as good or good. When you are together, you will show your true colors and be full of ugly appearances. If the woman at this time If you ask questions, you still have to say 'I am like this, isn't that what you love?', to love you, you have to accept your original face, if you don't accept it, you don't love... Hahaha, if you don't love, you don't love me. Love it, what's the big deal, but in the end, the little girls really followed your tricks, loved to the death, and ended up loving someone who wasn't the one I liked at all."

"You love Yan Feng very much, don't you?"

"Is it love?" Xu Hong held his coffee and looked sideways at Chang Qing.Chang Qing's face is good-looking among men, very gentle and kind-hearted, no wonder some girls lost their lives in love with him.Xu Hong thought about it again and said, "Forget it." After struggling for a long time, Xu Hong still admitted this love. She had treated that man very seriously, cried and laughed for him, but in the end she got retribution and was ridiculed.

"You want him to be happy, but you don't forgive him?"

"Ah..." Xu Hong let out a long breath, and then said, "Do you think I have to forgive him? I've heard enough of people saying that you are at this age, what's wrong with you, you have to be open-minded. But why should I say To be open-minded? Just because I have reached this age? Let’s put it this way, even if I die tomorrow, I can’t forgive him. "Xu Hong felt that she could not reconcile with people like Yan Feng. Whoever loves to reconcile should reconcile, and no one should come to persuade her. Wishing him happiness is Xu Hong's greatest kindness, but his happiness has nothing to do with her. .

"Then what is the truth, what is the truth about you not getting married?"

"What do you think marriage is?" Xu Hong turned to look at him and asked, Chang Qing's face froze for a moment, he thought this was a problem he didn't understand, he just couldn't figure it out, that's why he made such a mistake After the serious incident, he never contacted any women again, because he couldn't figure out what marriage was.As a young man, he wants to choose the girl he likes, but what is liking?How much do you like to get married?Later, as he got older, everyone advised him to be suitable, so what does it mean to be suitable?Under the gentle appearance, Chang Qing is actually a very twisted person, because he can't figure it out, so he is still unmarried.

"Why don't I get married, because of my father. From him, I have seen the most embarrassing side of a man. Even so, he will still say without self-knowledge that every daughter wants to find a man like her father. I will find a man. That's fine with him. It's a horrible word, you know, coming out of his mouth, he thinks it's a blessing, but I think it's a curse. I'm not that good, I'm just a normal person, even a At the age of 35, I have no house, no car, and only a small amount of savings. I may never find a job, but so what, I have a choice to escape the curse. Marriage, for me, is that curse. And you should also be able to understand why your family insisted on letting you marry that friend's daughter, marriage is essentially an economic community, and since you choose to escape from this economic community, you are escaping from your family."

So far, Chang Qing fully understands that Xu Hong is not suitable for him, she is running away from her family, and Chang Qing has no way to escape no matter what.He is the only child in the family, and his parents say that he is the only hope of the family. All they can think of is to replace resources with his marriage. His marriage itself is a resource, including himself. After all the weights are invalid, the only effective weight and the only resource is the child Changqing.But even so, can it be said that his parents don't love him?No, it’s just that the way of love is different. While loving children, we also hope that children will repay them in the way their parents hope, so Chang Qing twists and turns, entangled between parental love and personal freedom.In middle age, Chang Qing still felt that he was not good enough for Xu Hong.

"When are you leaving tomorrow?"

Xu Hong looked at Chang Qing in confusion, and Chang Qing said, "If there is time, I would like to give you a gift. I hope you are happy."

I hope you are happy, Xu Hong suddenly smiled, this should be the most sincere blessing that Chang Qing can give.
