tenth year of teaching

Chapter 180 Cold War
"Your wife is coming back today, why don't you go back and take a look?" In the corner of the hot pot in the old city, two men were enveloped in the steam of the hot pot.

"Since when have you become such a mother-in-law?" An Lei looked sideways at Wang Hao across from him.

"It's not like you. Didn't you always treasure your wife before?" Wang Hao picked up the wine bottle and stretched it over to fill the glass.

An Lei picked up the clinking glasses, the two of them took a sip and ate a few mouthfuls of sheep and scorpions.Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Wang Hao smiled and continued pouring wine.

"What's wrong? You've just celebrated the New Year and you're frowning. Why are you so worried? How about the KTV I introduced to you last time? Are you going there soon? I'll call the two of you."

An Lei raised his hand and looked at his watch, "Let's go play for a while."

Guan Min was restless at home, she only felt wronged, but almost forgot her concern for An Lei.At first she was thinking wildly, and the more she resembled him, the more angry she became.But An Lei couldn't get through on the phone at all, and she didn't want to contact her mother-in-law either.As the sun slanted westward, the light in the living room gradually dimmed.She calmed down slowly, stared at the hair rope for a long time, she got up and found a small cloth bag and put it in.I wandered around several rooms aimlessly, and finally stuffed it in the innermost layer of my handbag.

Putting away the headband, she hugged herself tightly with both hands, and stood quietly on the balcony.Looking into the distance from the floor-to-ceiling windows of the living room, Nanshan Mountain stands at the end, and multiple clear white snow trails appear on the middle of the mountain.Guan Min recalled that in the first year of their marriage, they always went skiing together in the winter. An Lei was versatile and was good at skiing, singing, basketball, football, and model airplanes, and had a wide range of interests.

Today she finally calmed down and thought about what happened before and why she chose An Lei.Handsome, gentle but also passionate, versatile but not specialized in anything.The former is what I admire and am attracted to, and the latter is my feelings after gradually getting to know each other deeply over the past three years of marriage.

Love is an explosion of hormones, marriage is a decrease in passion. 'Maybe if we had a child when we got married, these might not be a problem, but now the child has become the biggest problem. Guan Min closed his eyes tightly, and his head began to hurt. Since he started doing test tubes, his body has been experiencing various discomforts from time to time.

She frowned and left the balcony, turning on the living room light, and the incandescent light swept away the darkness in the home.Guan Min took a piece of Fenbite, drank two large glasses of hot water, lay on the sofa and sweated, and finally felt a little more relaxed.He opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling above his head. The wall clock on the wall read 9:00.

Guan Min got up, took a hot shower, and lay comfortably on the bed.She checked her phone, but there were no messages or missed calls.Turn off the phone, charge it, and lie down to sleep.At this time, her heart was as calm as water. This family still had to be maintained, and the man could do whatever he wanted.

When An Lei went home, it was already past four o'clock in the morning the next day. When he came out of the KTV, Wang Hao still shouted drunkenly: "Hey, the nightclub is not over yet, keep drinking." An Lei walked towards Ah with a swaying step. Yan waved her hand and asked her to send Wang Hao back.

Ayan smiled charmingly: "Handsome guy, can he come and pick you up after seeing you off? Will he come to your house?"

An Lei waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, my wife is back. Let's meet again in the future."

Ayan sneered, and helped the drunk Wang Hao into the car.

An Lei took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a long puff.Leaning against the fence beside the road, the cool morning breeze blew away the smoke rings and made him sober up a little.

The long frown on his brows formed the character "Sichuan", making him look a little older.I am less than thirty years old, but I have experienced nearly forty years of vicissitudes.In addition to the troubles at home, An Lei was also unsatisfactory at work. In the second year, An Lei was transferred from the Education Committee to work in the government.At that time, the old man repeatedly confirmed with him: "Have you really decided? I can help you for a while, but I can't help you forever. In the education department, everyone will take good care of you because of my old face. I can't go to the government department." I’m really speechless.”

An Lei said nothing. What he was thinking in his heart was to get as far away from his father's control as possible.The older generation always wants to take more care of their children within the scope of their control, while the young people regard it as a shackles and can't wait to get rid of it.

After going to the government and joining the Propaganda Department, An Lei didn't go his way. Xiao Zhao, who was the same age, had already been promoted to the level of section chief, and he had to work his way up from the lowest level.Without the relationship, naturally there will be no constraints, but there will also be no care and support.He underestimated his father's influence and overestimated his own abilities. Without his background and outstanding talents, he could only endure the time.

An Lei felt very aggrieved, being shouted at by others in the workplace.Today's government departments are no longer the old days of sitting around with a cup of tea and a newspaper waiting to get off work.I am busy from morning to night every day. I have to turn on my phone 24 hours a day after get off work in the evening and on weekends. I am ready to listen to notifications and wait for urgent work at any time.Many times, urgent mail is not allowed to be sent overnight and must be processed overnight.

Especially when the young Xiao Zhao ordered him around, he really gritted his teeth to hold back the anger in his heart.An Lei knew that if he couldn't endure it, he might be like this for the rest of his life.He can't find the goals in life and work. He is exhausted every day and is upset to death. When he goes home, he just wants to play games to isolate himself, but he still has to listen to the quarrels between the old lady and his wife, both overt and covert, every day.

He was obsessed with the life of playing outside with Wang Hao and other buddies, and always wanted to find an outlet.Drinking, singing, and playing mahjong, including those women, are just narcotics. Only when you get excited about playing will you feel very happy.He thought that since he couldn't give birth to a child anyway, he could just play with it.

When I got home, I saw my wife lying on the bed sleeping soundly.An Lei smelled the smell of cigarette smoke on his body, took off his coat, walked to the small bedroom, wrapped it up and fell asleep.When Guan Min got up, she heard the snoring coming from the small bedroom, and she felt somewhat calm.

She started the fire, mixed the noodles, cracked two eggs, and started spreading the egg pancakes.Along with the sizzling sound, the aroma wafted out from the kitchen, and the house finally felt a little alive.

I returned to Yuyang at noon on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, and called Chu Xia as soon as I got off the car.Lao Chu drove into the car and went to the station to pick her up. Chu Xia sat in the passenger seat with a smile on her face.On the morning of the second grade of junior high school, Dabei called Chu Xia to tell him that he would be back early on the sixth grade of junior high school, and Chu Xia responded happily.

I go to work on the eighth day of the lunar month and go to Niri on the fifteenth day of the lunar month. I will rush back at the end of April to prepare for the wedding.The two agreed to get the certificate in advance before the fifteenth day to avoid being too busy when they come back.

Dabei's parents came with him and said they were meeting to discuss marriage.The old couple are ten years older than Chu's parents, and they have the simplicity of the countryside.When they met, he said that although his family couldn't help with the house, BJ's house was too expensive after all.But the old lady said that since Dabei will be close to here in the future, he will be raised as his son, and he will definitely take more care of him.

As soon as these words came out of his mouth, Dr. Zheng beamed with joy. He only had such a daughter in his life. Although Dabei could not be a live-in son-in-law, the in-laws' saying this was regarded as acknowledgment that the relationship would be similar to that of a live-in son-in-law.She said casually: "If you give me your son, you will not be indebted to him. We, the old couple, also paid for the house. You also have a son, and I am just a daughter. I am really prepared to take Da Bei as my biological son." Waiting."

Dabei's face suddenly sank, but the old lady said yes with a smile.

Although they were talking and laughing during the dinner, Chu Xia felt that the atmosphere had become awkward.
