Jean Love

After applying for a marriage certificate, they often move around. Sometimes my mother goes to Xiqiao, and most of Zhao Xin comes to us. She comes here every month. Every time my mother goes to Guangzhou, she will come to take care of the children.

Zhao Xin's belly is getting bigger and bigger, and it's very obvious. For normal couples, this is of course a gratifying thing that doesn't need to be concealed, but for us, although we are open-minded, there will definitely be some embarrassment, especially in front of us. When greeting others.

"Hey, has your wife left again?" The landlord's aunt asked her mother more than once.

"Yeah, I'm going back." My mother always replied in such a simple way, and then tried to avoid it.

"Where did you go back? Did you go to work?"

"Yeah, go to work."

"You still go to work with such a big belly?"

"I won't go to school for two months, go home and recuperate."

"Go home? Aren't you all here? Where is your home?"

"go back home."

"Going back to Shaoguan? It's so far away, and the round-trip fare is quite a lot every month. Don't worry about her alone?"

"It's okay, someone will come back together."

"Isn't it good to be here? Why do you have to go back to your hometown so far?"

"My hometown is an earthen house, which is cooler than the buildings here."

"Oh, yes." The landlord aunt was dubious.

After a few days, she saw her mother cutting the thread, she pulled a stool and sat down next to her mother: "Hey, I see that your son always seems to ignore your wife and always put on a straight face, isn't it their mother?" Don't you two have a bad relationship?"

"Where? No, my son has this personality. The two of them have always been like this. It's okay." The mother explained.

"I think he is very polite to us, and he talks and laughs with colleagues and friends, but every time your daughter-in-law comes, he seems very unhappy, one sits here, the other sits there, and he seems to seldom talk. I I've been paying attention to it for a long time."

"Where is it, auntie, it's okay, they've always been like this." Mother smiled, suffocating vernacular.

A few days later, my mother gave her some sauerkraut made by herself, and she also gave her mother some leafy vegetables grown by herself. After living for a long time, we have been in close contact with each other and trust each other. I saw a man come to your house two or three times, driving a motorcycle to pick up your wife, who is he to your wife?"

"It's a former colleague, a colleague who went to work together."

"Colleagues are so good?"

"There are also relatives, relatives."

"Oh, I heard your grandson Quanzai calling him uncle, right?"

"I didn't pay attention to what the child likes to call." My mother seemed to have encountered lice and couldn't get rid of them.

Afterwards, my mother learned from me, "Oh, people here gossip more than people in the country, and they ask so deeply." My mother sighed, saying that the landlady has money and leisure, and she likes to inquire. I don't know how to answer, but it's okay, let me handle it." Mother smiled triumphantly, as if she had achieved a lot.

"Hehe, analyze carefully, your words are full of loopholes and mistakes, obviously you are lying."Then put on a very calm and indifferent expression: "Just tell her directly, why bother."

"How to tell her, what to tell her?" asked the mother.

"Tell her that Zhao Xin and I are divorced."

"No, tell her this, and then she will ask why the divorce? Why do you want a divorce? Why do you have children after a divorce? Asking clearly, digging to the bottom, will take hundreds of mental loads to deal with her , not only her, more and more people around here are paying attention, and the people here have nothing to do when they are full." The mother was a little helpless.

"Hehe, everyone has voyeuristic desires. It's normal. Next time I ask you, just tell the truth." I seemed to be very free and easy.

"I don't care about her, she doesn't ask these questions now." The mother disdainfully.

In fact, these questions are not for me, and if I were to be asked, I would not be able to answer them. Moreover, I am troubled by similar questions, and I don’t know what to do.

One morning, with a big belly, Zhao Xin brought two kettles to our factory to turn on the water. He met A Fen, the wife of a colleague, and they chatted for a while, because they used to rent the first floor together and had frequent exchanges. Show her that Zhao Xin is pregnant, greet each other and say some blessings.

In the afternoon, Ah Fen bought grapes, apples, bananas and other fruits, and came to our rented place to express her congratulations. Unfortunately, Zhao Xin went back to Xiqiao after lunch. In the factory, only my mother and two children were at home at that time, and she called me: "Mao Ya, you haven't come back yet, A Fen is here."

A Fen is a warm, cheerful and well-educated woman. His lover is my very good colleague. He is usually indifferent. During the holidays, when we encounter any festive events, we will communicate with each other.

When I received the call, I turned off the computer and rushed home. I guessed in my heart that it was very close to ten, so I felt conflicted, mixed joy and sorrow, Zhao Xin was not here, what should I say?Should we tell the real situation of our couple?Sincerity and frankness are friends. What am I?Will taking the initiative to tell her off A Fen's appetite?Let people feel disappointed.

I walked all the way, pondered all the way, a few hundred meters away, and entered the house, A Fen was sitting in the center of the living room against the wall, with light dyed hair, decent clothes, a pair of exquisite sandals, and a simple armchair , Ah Fen sat on it, like a well-educated lady, chatting with her mother.

"Chen Wen is back, let's chat. I'll pick vegetables and have dinner here tonight, Ah Fen." Seeing me come back, my mother stood up from the low rubber stool.

"No need, Auntie, I've eaten in the factory, I'll come back after a while, don't bother me." Yes, I've known each other for so many years, and the two parents-in-law gave me the impression that they are afraid to bother others.

"It's not a problem at all, we'll have a meal together, I haven't seen you come and sit for a while, A Fen."

I came in, took a stool and sat down opposite her, two or three meters away, next to the small round table unfolded, on which were the lunch dishes and the fruits that A Fen had just bought. "Why are you so polite." I glanced at the table and at A Fen.

"I'm not being too polite, so I bought a few apples. I saw your wife this morning. I thought she was at home, and she happened to be free. Come and take a look." A Fen held the phone in her left hand, and stroked the hair on her forehead with her right hand, looking delicate A warm and subtle smile bloomed on the delicate and beautiful melon seeds.As for this face and this figure, if she didn't tell her herself, if she wasn't familiar with her, no one would believe that she already had a son and a daughter. Her mental temperament was very similar to Sister Xinlan's, and she was born to not look old.

"She went back to Xiqiao, and left after lunch." After saying this, I began to feel sorry. That kind of apology was not only because of Zhao Xin's absence, but more..., I can't put it into words!

"Oh, is she still at work?" Ah Fen put a smile on her face and asked seriously.

"I didn't go to work, I went to her friend's place." I answered simply, thinking about the questions that I might have to deal with next.

"She used to work in Zhongshan, didn't she?"

"Yes, come to Xiqiao this year."

"Are there many garment factories in Xiqiao? Is the salary good? Is it piecework or hourly?"

"Hehe, I don't know much about this, and I don't ask her about it."

"Well, part-time work is tiring, the salary is not high, and people are not free." A Fen adjusted her sitting posture.

"You're not bad. You're a technical worker. You earn more than us men every month. Your two parents-in-law are even better together."
