Thank you for making me so strong

Chapter 41
Another reason is that Xia Yu wanted to get out of the siege, but there was no response from outside. Xia Yu was dating Wang Xiao that day, and wanted to talk to Wang Xiao to vent her anger. Personal also met for the first time.

Wang Xiao was always far and near, erratic, and Xia Yu found that there was no one suitable to speak her mind. She thought of Wang Xiao, and wanted to hear Wang Xiao's attitude towards this matter, and by the way, see how Wang Xiao treated her.

"Why do you have time to invite me? I'm flattered." Wang Xiao happily went to the appointment.

"The times are different, men and women are the same, last time you paid the bill, this time I will pay back, fair trade."

"That's for others, we have been friends for so many years, who and who."

"How are you doing?" Xia Yu thought about how to open the topic.

"Hey, it's not very good. If we walked together back then, I think we would be very happy." Xia Yu's eye circles were red when Wang Xiao said this. With such words, Xia Yu feels like drinking a bowl of hot noodles and feels comfortable all over. Xia Yu has not heard such love words for a long time. She and Zhang Jie have been together for so many years, and the relationship between left hand and right hand has long been , Xia Yu has almost no resistance to such words.

"Even if we were not together back then, if there is fate, we will definitely be together in the end. It belongs to you and you can't escape no matter what. If you don't, you can't catch it no matter how you try. Don't you think this sentence makes sense? ?" Xia Yu looked at Wang Xiao.

"What do you mean?" Wang Xiao looked at Xia Yu with flickering eyes.

"It's not very interesting, just talking casually, you always say that we didn't get together back then, do you feel regretful?"

"It's a pity, we were very suitable back then." Zhang Jie said very seriously back then, Xia Yu didn't know what his subtext was, the two of them are not suitable now.

"The past is over. We were all young at that time, and we will inevitably miss it when we are young. The key is the future..." Xia Yu tried her best to wrap her head around it.

"The future?" Wang Xiao looked at Xia Yu vigilantly, as if she was a trapped beast about to be besieged.

"Yeah, the future is important to us. You always say that your family life is not going well, and I am also not going well. You didn't expect that we would have a future?" Xia Yu looked into Wang Xiao's eyes and said these words , Subconsciously, it is revenge against Zhang Jie. Why, you live a romantic and happy life, and my charm is no worse than yours. Now there are candidates in front of you.

She also wants to make a bet to see if she can win. Xia Yu knows that middle-aged women are very passive in the marriage market, but she is very unwilling. She always feels that she is different from others. She wants to see if she can be an exception Xia Yu always wanted to know what Wang Xiao thought of her.

Did she have true feelings for her? Anyway, Xia Yu wanted to take a gamble. She wanted to know if she was as lucky as the heroine in "The Bridge of Madison County" to meet her true confidant.

"Our future?" Wang Xiao looked at Xia Yu in surprise.Xia Yu pondered Wang Xiao's expression, and must have wondered if there was something wrong with Xia Yu's brain.

"Your husband is a very nice person. He wants money and good looks. Is there any misunderstanding between you?" Wang Xiao wanted to judge Xia Yu's real meaning.

"I always feel that the relationship between him and the woman from last time is not right, and I don't want to have a relationship with him." Xia Yu didn't say the real reason why she didn't want to have a relationship with him was because she saw Zhang Jie with her own eyes, and she knew that family scandals should not be exposed.

"It's normal for you to think too much. It would be abnormal if a man didn't have such a thing." The situation was a little bad, Wang Xiao quickly took Zhang Jie's position, and tried every means to get out the words.

"But I really can't bear it."

"Don't think too much, let's face the reality. We all have children. The children are getting bigger and bigger, and our responsibilities are getting more and more. Don't think about it. Think about children, such as me , The relationship between us is very bad, but for the sake of the child, we must be together. The growth of the child is the most important thing. How can I care about the relationship between husband and wife? You see, the child spends a lot of time and energy on me." Wang Xiao immediately transferred topic.

"Didn't you say that there are no children?" Xia Yu was very disappointed, her heart became colder a little bit, but she was still not reconciled.

"Did you hear me wrong? I have a child, and now the child is about to go to middle school. She consumes countless hours of my time every day. I enroll the child in many remedial classes and take the child to learn piano every day. My parents are not in good health. , now I am old and young, and I have to go to work, and all my time and energy are overwhelmed by reality, so I really have no other thoughts.” Wang Xiao seemed to be afraid that Xia Yu would entangle him, talking about children, the elderly, and sense of responsibility.

"Don't worry, I understand what you mean, I'm just talking casually." Xia Yu had heard enough, she couldn't remember why she ran to Wang Xiao's eyes to seek humiliation.

Xia Yu understood that Wang Xiao was only willing to associate with her, and it would be best if something happened, but if Xia Yu had other further ideas that endangered his own interests, he would immediately say, "I have been very busy with work in the past few days." Hand in hand..." Finally evaporated in the world.

Xia Yu's attempt failed completely. It was the first time she lowered her stance, but she never expected to be affectionate. Even Wang Xiao, who she despised back then, made her feel ashamed. Zhang Jie.

She didn't know that all men were like this, or it was bad luck to meet such a case, but she felt too uncomfortable.

When Xia Yu came home, the first thing she did was to pick up the mirror, and an old woman appeared in the mirror, with dark circles, sunken eye sockets, a lot of white hair on her head, frowning, and a sad face, Xia Yu After watching for a long time, it suddenly occurred to me that the ghost-like woman in the mirror was me.

Xia Yu slammed the mirror down to the ground. After Zhang Jie looked at it, he immediately picked up the broom to clean up.

Recently, Zhang Jie behaved like a grandson. He undertook all the housework in the family. When Xia Yu arrived home, the family had already prepared a sumptuous meal, even the chopsticks. To serve, to do one's best and to die, only Xia Yu's lead is the one to follow.

Xia Yu went home every day just like the old man. After eating, he threw away the bowl and chopsticks and didn't care about anything else. Zhang Jie went to brush the chopsticks and wash the dishes without any second thoughts, for fear that Xia Yu would be unhappy, Xia Yu was happy to be at ease.

The most valuable thing is that every night, Zhang Jie carries forward the fearless revolutionary spirit of not surfing the Internet and not turning on the mobile phone, cleans up the windows at home, and then sits obediently at the table to help the children with their homework, and occasionally glances at Xia Yu A few glances, for fear of doing something wrong and making Xia Yu unhappy.

Xia Yu's father was doing surgery, so Xia Yu opened his mouth, Zhang Jie had already gone to accompany him to the bed, and he stayed with Xia Yu for three nights until Xia Yu was discharged from the hospital.Father Xia was very satisfied, and he was full of praise for Zhang Jie.

As for handing in the salary card on time, these things are done meticulously, and Xia Yu has no chance to get angry.

Xia Yu found out that the struggle for family status that he had struggled for many years had already won a decisive victory in advance. He looked like a master every day and looked at Zhang Jie like a servant. Don't fight back when you beat me, don't fight back when you scold me, very humble.

Xia Yu didn't know what he was thinking, and he didn't bother to care about it. Anyway, it's a day to day, and it's better to be served carelessly in a daze.

If everything is figured out, for the sake of the so-called justice, the so-called purity of the marriage, it will eventually cause an uproar, and everyone will know that Xia Yu really doesn't know how to face such a situation.

At that time, Mrs. Wang will definitely hold an exclusive press conference with her family members again, and her own news will definitely fly all over the sky, becoming the condiment of people's after-dinner conversation.

Teacher Zhang and the others will not stay idle, the eighth ladies in the office will definitely be excited for a while.

What's more, if you really live on your own and don't have enough financial strength, the quality of life of your children will decline accordingly?Nowhere to put the face of the parents?For the sake of my own so-called justice, I made it difficult for everyone, so why bother.

Besides, wouldn't it be cheaper for that bastard woman? How could such a good thing happen?

Zhang Jie patted his chest hard and explained to Xia Yu: "Actually, you really misunderstood that day. We were just chatting casually. I didn't expect you to come back. She was afraid that you would misunderstand. It's really nothing. You must Don't overthink it."

"Fart, do you think my IQ is only 3 months?" Xia Yu cursed in her heart, but she didn't say anything. Since Zhang Jie is so low-spirited, Xia Yu doesn't want to kill them all. , Give him a step to come down first.

Besides, Zhang Jie has recently reborn, changed his face, changed his mind, and started to be a new man. He is completely different from the past. He has begun to show his talents in the kitchen. , not only can't help, but also annoys Xia Yu.

Xia Yu gets a headache when she thinks about Zhang Jie entering the kitchen.

I remember that one night, when Zhang Jie came home late, Xia Yu was a little unhappy: "What's wrong with you? Where did you run off again?"

"Why are you talking like that? Aren't you trying to make more money for this family? I went to the Crown Hotel just now. Not to mention, it's the first hotel in the city. It's fine if you can't cook delicacies there, but home-cooked food, You should learn how to cook it, it’s a very simple dish, it’s delicious, it’s a pity, you can’t make it.”

"Of course I can't do it. You can try it. If you can do it, I can make money with you."

"Joke, how could I not be able to do it? A person with such a high IQ as me, what else can't be done? Confucius said that he never tires of food and fine meat. The real great chefs are still men. If I cook , will definitely do better than you, and our children will definitely grow taller after eating the food I cook."

Xia Yu's eyes immediately opened sharply when she heard it. These few words were what she liked to hear the most, and they came from the bottom of her heart.If Zhang Jie can study the method of cooking well, his burden of cooking will be reduced a lot.If Zhang Jie was obsessed with cooking, then his plan to get out of the kitchen was not a dream. Thinking of this, Xia Yu secretly rejoiced, as the saying goes, she frowned and thought about it.

"That's right, a person with a high IQ like you will definitely gain something by studying the nutrition of various foods. If our child eats the food you cook, he will definitely grow into a tall man, and he will definitely be a handsome man."

"Hey, how can I win people's love? A person like you has no other better things to do in society. The little money you earn a month is not enough for my change. If you don't spend more money in the kitchen Stay for a while, then you will really be completely unemployed. So I can't take your job." Zhang Jie spoke plausibly, and he saw Xia Yu's carefulness at a glance, and he was not moved by her sweet words.

Xia Yu was a little disappointed. It seems that Zhang Jie's IQ has increased recently, so it's not easy to be deceived, but she didn't give up lightly, she still wanted to continue to fool Zhang Jie, "You are so stupid, you blame me for cooking all day long. The level is not high and the taste is not good. If you can cook, you can eat your favorite food every day, such as spicy fried pork and chili tofu. If you can cook well, it is equivalent to going to the highest level every day In a hotel, food is actually an art, and only people with a heart can make exquisite food, then, you don’t have to blame me for my low cooking skills all day long.” Xia Yu’s eyes rolled vigorously, and her brain also Spinning quickly, because she remembered the lobbyist in the legendary novel.

They are eloquent, they can talk about stones, they can turn the dead into living people, and they can turn black into white, so why can't I just sit by the computer as soon as I get home, and don't care about the sky falling? Guy talk?

Challenging herself, challenging the limit, Xia Yu thought about treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor. If she really persuaded Zhang Jie and asked him to cook a good meal, wouldn't she be freed from the heavy housework?
"However, I can also give it a try. When I am in a good mood, I can make some dishes, and you will know how good I am when the time comes." Xia Yu's words seemed to have some effect on Zhang Jie.

"Hey, just blow it hard. If you can cook the rice, the sun will rise from the west." Xia Yu lit another fire for Zhang Jie.

"You underestimate me too much. When the time comes, I will give you some strength, and you will be honest." Hey, Zhang Jie has been tricked a little bit.

Sure enough, the next day, Zhang Jie had a sudden whim, went to the store and bought a large piece of meat with skin on it for the first time.

"You're crazy. You clearly know that my children and I don't like to eat fatty meat. Why do you buy so much fat? Do you want me to throw up?" Xia Yu felt a headache when he saw the fat.

"What do you know? Fat meat is so delicious. I want to make this dish of chili fried pork. If there is no fat meat, it won't be delicious. Just wait and see, I will make your mouth water when the time comes. Rush flow."

"Stop bragging, am I dreaming?" Xia Yu couldn't believe her ears. Could it be that the days of spending all day in the kitchen are completely over?Will she become a lady who stays away from the kitchen?Good things happened so fast, Xia Yu couldn't believe his existence for a while. "I always dreamed that there would be such a day, but unfortunately, I haven't met it once." Xia Yu deliberately provoked Zhang Jie.

"You will meet today, don't grab all the food when the time comes." So, Zhang Jie rolled up his sleeves, pretended to be doing a big job, walked into the kitchen, and started cutting meat.Xia Yu heard the sound of the oil pan and the porridge pan in the kitchen again, there was a lot of noise.

Xia Yu was happy to be at ease, she picked up the broom to sweep the floor, then stretched her waist, turned on the computer to watch something, just sat down, feeling a little uneasy, so she picked up Beibei's homework and looked at it, staying at home all the time I'm used to being busy, and now I suddenly ask her to take a break, she can't get used to such a comfortable time.

However, she found that it was too early to be happy.Because Zhang Jie didn't concentrate on cooking in the kitchen like herself, Xia Yu found Zhang Jie ran out of the kitchen after a while, leisurely went to the side of the TV, and turned on the TV.

Zhang Jie was cooking while watching TV.After a while, he walked into the kitchen to look through the dishes, and then went to the living room to watch TV. In short, Zhang Jie was cooking, and watching TV would not delay him. Xia Yu found that Zhang Jie didn't look like cooking material. How could a chef cook like this? of?They all stared at the food firmly, controlling the color and aroma of the food at any time. Fortunately, Zhang Jie threw the food casually, and he ran away.

"The porridge in the pot has come out, why don't you go over and have a look?" Xia Yu heard something wrong in the kitchen, so she ran over to open the pot lid and shouted loudly.But she was still one step too late, porridge was scattered all over the place.

"Come on, come on, don't worry." Zhang Jie was a little annoyed, the Eighth Route Army was fighting the devils on TV, and he wanted to know if the devil's mountain could be captured by the Eighth Route Army.

"Really, it doesn't matter how long it takes. It's fine to use the pot later. It doesn't matter how long it takes, hey." Zhang Jie ran to the kitchen and saw that the lid of the pot had been lifted by Xia Yu, and then turned on the gas. After closing it, I immediately ran to the living room to watch the Eighth Route Fighting Devils.

Zhang Jie analyzed that the devil's mountain must be captured by the Eighth Route, and he wanted to know how it was captured by the Eighth Route.The process is very important. Zhang Jie wants to understand every shot and every movement of the attack on the mountain.These little devils on TV are really annoying. If they are not defeated, Zhang Jie will not be able to swallow this breath in his heart, so for the sake of patriotism, Zhang Jie also sits next to the TV.

"The spicy meat we fried seems to have a burnt smell." Xia Yu could smell the bad smell from afar.

"The devils are about to be defeated, and I don't want people to watch Ansheng's TV." Zhang Jie stared at the TV with all his heart on the TV. The Eighth Route Army was trying to attack the mountain. When he debuted, Zhang Jie had long forgotten what to cook.

"There are eight ways to beat devils. You should cook first. If you love your country, you must love yourself. If you can't even eat and starve to death, how can you beat devils? Only when you have enough food can you have strength, you know?" After Xia Yu discovered such a situation, she did ideological work for Zhang Jie in time.

Xia Yu's purpose is to lure Zhang Jie to cook hard.Now that Xia Yu has adjusted her goals in time, she no longer expects Zhang Jie to cook every day like Teacher Zhang's husband and become an excellent house cook.She only hoped that Zhang Jie could go to the kitchen once in a while, and she could also reduce her burden a lot.

"I don't have the strength to fight devils, but I have the strength to watch TV." Zhang Jie knew that he was wrong, and said weakly.His voice was very small, but Xia Yu still heard it.

"Are you cooking or watching TV?" Xia Yu said loudly.At this time, Xia Yu already felt bad, she found that even Zhang Jie couldn't achieve her lowest goal, so she had to go to the kitchen to get busy.

If Zhang Jie was expected to cook, the meal would definitely be uncomfortable.The porridge is not ready, and now the meat is still mushy.God bless, if the meal tastes good, I dare not expect it.

"Grasp with both hands, both hands must be hard." Zhang Jie had no choice but to run to the kitchen.Originally, when he saw Xia Yu in the kitchen, he didn't want to go there, but he thought that Xia Yu would chatter endlessly during the meal, so he ran over wisely.Before leaving, I still don’t forget to watch TV a few more times.

The meal was finally ready. Looking at the food on the table, Xia Yu was very troubled. She remembered that her friend Teacher Zhang said that there was one point in the secret book of training husbands. To continue working once, I can only say yes against my conscience.

Teacher Zhang said that once her husband stewed potatoes and made a paste, but in order to ask him to do it again next time, he had to frown and bite the bullet to eat these stewed potatoes.While eating, he was full of praise for the potatoes. After being encouraged, my husband felt a sense of accomplishment, so he developed a great interest in cooking, and gradually began to learn to cook many special dishes.After countless failures and the baptism of oral desire, Teacher Zhang finally trained her husband to be a chef who likes to cook.

Xia Yu knew that Teacher Zhang's narration contained a lot of exaggeration, but she still believed that there were many truths in it, at least the truth was correct.

Xia Yu really wanted to encourage him, but looking at his level, the rice porridge was a bit too dry, the chili fried meat was a bit mushy, and the rice was as good as the porridge, or the rice he made was actually thick. Porridge, and a cabbage stew, the cabbage has been stewed almost invisible.

Xia Yu really didn't want to tell lies. The meal in front of her was really hard to swallow. She didn't want to say good things. Besides, she was an outspoken person. If she had something to say, she felt a little cruel when she said it. Speak out.

"Do you think there is something wrong with our dish? The meat seems to be burnt, right? You know, eating burnt meat is not good for the body. If you eat burnt meat, it will have harmful effects on the body, and it may be fatal. .”

"You really know how to make a sensation. If you eat a meal, you will be fatal. It can be exaggerated. If this is the case, everyone will die."

"I mean what you did today was so-so. At least you cooked, so I won't make me starve. I'm the first to praise you." Xia Yu said, but she felt a little ignorant for saying these words. Are you a couple? You have to say what you think and how you say it. It might be better to go straight like this. Why do you say yes when you obviously didn’t do well?
"It's really rare to even offer praise, which shows that you still have vision."

"I haven't finished my words yet. Such a good raw material has been in your hands, and it has become like this. This is a waste of food. I really don't know how you have such a great ability."

"Some people just don't have the skills. I can't appreciate such a good meal. It can only be said that some people lack the eyes to discover beauty." Zhang Jie sighed.

"I don't know if you are from a salt dealer? Good meat, why put so much salt? You want to salt us to death? Don't you, son?" Xia Yu asked.

"I don't know." Beibei looked at Xia Yu and then at Zhang Jie, and immediately lowered her head and stopped talking.

This guy seems to be a bit more sensible recently. He knows that people are messing around in the world. If they want to live a peaceful life, they should not cause troubles, so he doesn't participate in the disputes, and puts on a look that has nothing to do with me, and he doesn't care about it. .

Xia Yu felt that he was really cunning. When she was very young, some uncles and aunts asked Beibei: "Hello mom, hello dad."

Beibei replied directly with one sentence: "It's all good, all is good."

At such a young age, he showed a slippery appearance, and now that he has grown up, he doesn't express his personal position.

"That's right, my son said no, didn't he, son?" Zhang Jie and Bei Bei made friends.

"What?" Beibei pretended not to hear.

"Where, that's what my son said. Isn't it?" Xia Yu also went to make friends.

Beibei lowered her head, raised her head for a while, looked at Zhang Jie for a while, looked at Xia Yu for a while, then put her eyes on Zhang Jie's face, then on Xia Yu's face, and finally lowered her head and said nothing .It means, the matter between the two of you, you two should solve it by yourself, don't look for me, it has nothing to do with me.

Xia Yu and Zhang Jie are making fun of themselves. It is not good to have too many conflicts in front of the children. It seems a bit bad to talk too much. After all, they are parents, and they still need to show their children a good appearance, not too much.

However, since then, Xia Yu has come to a conclusion: "Men are unreliable, so don't trust what a man says."

However, after this huge family crisis, Zhang Jie restrained a lot.

In a sense, Zhang Jie is not the kind of person who commits a heinous crime and needs to be executed immediately. Unreliable, but the director's wishes are good.

From the bottom of his heart, Xia Yu found that there was still affection between the two of them. Moreover, after many years of husband and wife, the relationship was not there, but there was still family affection, so there was still a need to maintain the marriage.

Xia Yu suddenly realized that what people are most afraid of is the inner demon. As long as there is no inner demon, everything will be ignored. She remembered a movie in the United States, which was about middle-aged people cheating. The three of them had close contacts, and they were about to elope, but they pretended to be fools, and they didn't say anything when they died. Everyone has face, hello, hello, everyone, even between husband and wife, face is also important.

Xia Yu remembered the story Teacher Zhang told. An old lady was playing cards. Someone told her that the old man had cheated on her and was beaten up by the husband. , do you still call yourself a man if you don’t play?”

This kind of woman can see through the bones of men. Xia Yu feels that she is not the one who is unlucky. It is something that many people have experienced. It is not normal to not experience it.

Why did Teacher Zhang tell such a story?Did she have a similar experience?
That's for sure. For ordinary people, such things must be yours, mine, and all of them.

Those who say no, can only be lucky and have not met.

Xia Yu thought badly, and felt much more comfortable.

Besides, recently, Zhang Jie has been reborn, cooking, washing clothes and taking care of the children. He bows his head and pleads guilty every day. He is more grandson than his grandson in front of Xia Yu.

Why do people need to live seriously?Act as if nothing has happened.Those women who praised their husbands for their virtuousness just didn't see the other side of him. In a sense, it might not be a bad thing to be deceived.

Are men born liars?Xia Yu feels that the answer should be yes, it seems that men really can't be taken seriously, they love face, they are vain, they behave differently on the surface, and they behave differently behind their backs, half of them are human, half of them are ghosts, and when they see beautiful women, they will be humble, all day long Thinking wildly, wishing that all the women on the earth revolved around her, and didn't know how many bowls of dry rice she ate, Xia Yu didn't want to be as knowledgeable as these people, so she planned to let this matter go.

Besides, the recent work has begun to make Xia Yu feel entangled again.

Now, the school's enrollment work is over, and the school's other work has begun to become regular. Dean Wang's current enrollment work has come to an end, and he has started to grasp other work.

He is going to hold a symposium recently and ask several middle-level cadres under his command to talk about their plans for the next step.He told Xia Yu to straighten out his thoughts and make a work report at the meeting to talk about his next work ideas.

Xia Yu became dizzy when she heard this, and she was devastated by the mess recently. She was at a loss. How could she have time to think about work?
Seeing that the American project that has been tossing so hard has come to naught, and the South Korean project has not improved at all, Xia Yu is at a loss. She suddenly feels that the job in her hand is in danger again. A clay rice bowl is a clay rice bowl. The school climbs to the middle level, and the position will be more stable. Who would have thought that the responsibility at the middle level will be heavy, and if you don't do well, you will still be dismissed.

Compared with the danger of his job, the current situation at home has stabilized, and nothing seems to be falling apart, so let's just ignore him for now.

But what about sending foreign students?What's the next step?Xia Yu began to worry about her job again.
