The first time Yuan Yiwan saw Xiaoqing was in the box of the song and dance hall, and he ordered her to sit on the stage. He was 40 years old that year and she was 22 years old.
He just ended a 12-year noisy marriage on the other shore just a year ago. He crossed the ocean and came to this place, which has been reforming and opening for 17 years. During the day, there was a lot of construction, dust and noise, and new high-rise buildings were born every day; In the evening, singing and dancing everywhere, Yingying Yanyan’s (Xiaoyu Village), he opened a hardware factory specializing in the export of door locks in the suburbs.
Just that morning, the ex-wife called back to their mother and son and did not take good care of their grandson. Now the homework in school has plummeted? He had a big temper and quarreled with her for a long time on the international overseas phone calls, so at night he drank too much.
When those friends from hometown opened their own houses, no one cared about his existence at all. When he woke up, he was in a cheap villager’s house shared by Xiaoqing and her two fellow villagers. He was vomiting in a mess, and filth was all over the bed. Because she didn’t have the money to buy a gas stove and a water heater, she burned several pots of hot water with briquettes to help him undress and freshen up. She stayed up all night, so he was deeply moved. After two days, he went to her and asked to live together. She thought about it for three days, and only informed him on the fourth day to pick me up.
When his hometown friends learned about it, they put forward various opinions.
“Although you are not married, it is best not to have children. It is very troublesome. If you die early and your children have not grown up, you have to bring a large amount of dowry with your mother to call someone else’s father?”
“Mr Xu from the Lighting Factory went to Qiu Dong’s house to play mahjong last Sunday and lost 3,000 yuan. On Monday morning, he asked the cashier to pay back the money. Unexpectedly, she evaporated from the world. She is an old cadre who has been working for four years! “
“The accountant from the plastic factory next door went back to get married last month. Old Huang and his wife are well-known iron roosters. They only paid her 200 yuan in cash in advance. She quit her job altogether and gave the proprietress a copy of the imported goods declared to the customs since she opened the factory. Compare the details with the actual ones. Later, I heard that she went back to repair a new three-story house?”
“The seaside rubber factory where the fire broke out the day before yesterday was caused by Cai Dong himself. He brought that pretty girl back and lived in his room for almost a month. During the day, she was not allowed to leave the house like a prisoner, but he brought it to the dinner or at night Karaoke was showing off everywhere. Didn’t everyone give her the nickname of a dumb beauty! He slapped her twice when he heard that the pretty girl slapped him the other day, and lost five hundred yuan and asked her to pack it out immediately. I didn’t say a word, but when I closed the door, I lost a lighter and lit it on the bed sheet, and it left the factory quietly. Later, almost all the fire engines in the district and the whole town came, and you know the rest!”
“Mr. Hu from the electronics factory didn’t say that there was a working girl in their female dormitory last month. On the day of receiving her salary, she rolled under the bed for a dollar and desperately looking for it. As a result, the entire dormitory was fined 5 yuan and everyone cried. ChengyiMission, did the old nonsense be impunity? This is not a joke, but because they are really afraid of being poor in their hometowns, they have gone out to make money all the way, and replaced by our children. Are they capable of this?
“You are the most educated among our group of people, and you usually spend more time on the brain than we use the genitals. Be careful not to be the subject of our chat in the future!”
Although Yuan Yiwan felt frustrated, he believed in his own vision, and the two of them had touched each other several times. She confessed that she had been working in the dance hall for two months, and had previously worked in her home fireworks factory in her hometown. She lost her father since she was a child and was brought up by a strong mother. After graduating from high school, her mother has been helping her find someone, thinking that she can add a stable long-term labor to the fireworks factory, so she has been really uncomfortable in recent years, so she encouraged I took the courage to follow my cousin to work here. He also expressed his current situation. Two children and a mother are on the other side of the strait, and he is fighting alone here. He doesn’t care about her past, but in the short term, she shouldn’t expect marriage promises. The two will think about it before talking. .
As a result, she was a competent housewife and never went to any office downstairs. He asked all the employees in the factory to call her Miss He, not Dong Niang, or the boss. All their rooms and their clothes and sheets are sorted and cleaned by her, and the nanny only needs to be responsible for the cadres. The food for the two of them was cooked by her herself, and her cooking skills also conquered his heart. He gradually got used to the taste of adding a lot of pepper to the dishes. In addition to going abroad, he took her to the big cities and tourist attractions that he had read in his school geography textbook when he was young. For four years, they seemed to be living on an endless honeymoon. He truly felt the meaning of life and the dignity of humanity.
