Life is more than just living

Chen Xu just returned to the procuratorate in the afternoon and received a call from Zhang's mother, "Chen Xu, come home for dinner!" Chen Xu felt a headache, and she said patiently: "Auntie, I went back to Beicheng today. It won't go away until you get to work! I have to go to work tomorrow. I'll go over to see you after the New Year!" Zhang's mother didn't seem too disappointed, because Chen Xugang gave her a shopping card last week. She felt that Chen Xu still sincerely wanted to have a relationship with her son, so she said cheerfully: "Okay, Chen Xu, what day of the year are you planning to come over? You should let Dawei visit your grandma during the Chinese New Year, right?" Chen Xu felt now The headache got worse, "Auntie, let's talk about this later! I heard from my neighbors that it's troublesome to meet parents and other elders during the New Year, so I think we shouldn't visit each other during the Chinese New Year to avoid spending money on both sides. Wait. Can I go see you after the New Year?"

Zhang's mother laughed at that time, and this proposal suited her very well. She really likes Chen Xu. Firstly, Chen Xu is very handsome at work. Secondly, Chen Xu is really not squeamish. When her arm was injured, Chen Xu even helped her clean up. She always helps with cooking every time she comes home. She likes this daughter-in-law. Zhang's mother has been urging Zhang Dawei to study recently, hoping that Zhang Dawei can get an ideal job immediately, so that he can be worthy of Chen Xu. This wife can no longer run away. Although in order to win over this daughter-in-law, she often asked Chen Xu to come for dinner, but for the Zhang family, it was really beyond her capabilities. Every time she invited Chen Xu over for dinner, she would miss work and would have to stay late to clean. Moreover, she would have to cook more dishes every time, which cost a lot. Chen Xu said he wouldn't be coming for the New Year, and she was relieved.

But she finally remembered the real purpose of today's call, "Chen Xu, I went to the mall to buy you a set of clothes two days ago. I'll ask Dawei to deliver them to you later!" Chen Xu even said: "Auntie, no need. , I really don’t need it. My clothes are enough, you can keep the clothes for yourself!" Mother Zhang said with a smile: "How can I afford such expensive clothes? I know your clothes are also very good, this set I asked someone to accompany me to pick out the clothes. I don’t often buy things, and I’m not very discerning, so I’m afraid that what I buy won’t suit your taste. I also spent a lot of money on this dress, and the workmanship and materials are quite good. I asked Dawei to give it to you. Go and save it for the New Year."

Chen Xu was completely speechless. Zhang's mother was still chattering, "I'm busy with work, so let's do this. It just so happens that Dawei is very tired from studying these days. Let him relax and give you clothes. By the way, you two can go out for a date and watch a movie." Something like that." Chen Xu put down the phone and kept beating his head with his fist, Chen Xu, you really deserve it, what should I do now?

Chen Xu sat on the edge of the bed, hugging the fat little pig and burying his head on the little pig: What should I do? What should I do? What should I do if my brother knows that he will scold me again? Chen Xu has never been so at a loss as he is now, and the deeper the entanglement becomes, the more trouble he becomes.

An hour later, she received a call from Zhang Dawei, who said he would wait for her at the door. Chen Xu sighed, put on his coat and went out. When he arrived at the door, Zhang Dawei smiled and held a bag and handed it to her and said, "My mother bought this for you. I think it looks good." Chen Xu took it awkwardly and said, "Fuck it." Why don't you let Auntie spend money? Why didn't you stop me?" Zhang Dawei changed the topic, "Where are we going to play?" Chen Xu said: "No, it's too late, you should go back early!"

Zhang Dawei patted his pocket proudly and said, "My mother gave me money to let us go out to play. You send the clothes back, I will wait for you here." Chen Xu reluctantly took the clothes to the dormitory, and then Slowly coming out again and going out with Zhang Dawei, she felt like she was being kidnapped by an invisible rope. Zhang Dawei was in a good mood today. He said happily: "I have been very busy in training recently. Let's relax today!" Chen Xu could only nod silently. When Zhang Dawei asked her where she was going for the second time, Chen Xu Xu thought for a while and said: "Let me treat you to a meal. You have been busy studying recently and have been working very hard. Let me treat you to a meal to replenish your nutrition!" Zhang Dawei smiled and said: "No need! My mother brought me some food today. For 2000 yuan, let me treat you to dinner and a movie." Chen Xu said sternly: "How can that be done? You don't make any money now, so I'll treat you! It's not easy for auntie to make money!" Zhang Dawei no longer insisted. , Chen Xu led him to a restaurant on the roadside that looked cleaner. Chen Xu asked Zhang Dawei to order. He embarrassedly said that he could eat anything. Chen Xu looked through the menu carefully and ordered four delicious dishes. While waiting for the food, Zhang Dawei went to the bathroom, where Chen Xu sat bored.

It has been two or three months since Chen Xu agreed to be friends with Zhang Dawei. This is the second time the two of them have met alone. Chen Xu has never thought about how things will develop with Zhang Dawei. Now she wants to compensate him as much as possible. Some people feel less guilty when they break up. After the two of them finished eating, Zhang Dawei suggested going to a movie. Chen Xu said, "I'm not going. It's too late. I have to go back early. It's too late and I don't feel safe." Unexpectedly, Zhang Dawei looked at an express hotel on the street and suddenly grabbed Chen Xu's hand, " Why don't we go back tonight!" Chen Xu was suddenly confused, what do you mean? Zhang Dawei was a little embarrassed, then he mustered up the courage to say: "Let's go get a room!"

Chen Xu was stunned for a moment and said seriously: "What did you say?" Zhang Dawei was also a little embarrassed. He said: "My mother said that the place at home is too small and inconvenient." Chen Xu really wanted to run away all of a sudden. what's up? She put her hand to her mouth, exhaling to keep warm, and said patiently: "Go back, don't spend this money, do you know how much it costs to rent a room at a time? Auntie, it's not easy to get this money, don't spend it arbitrarily, okay?" ?" Although Zhang Dawei was a little disappointed, he didn't insist, "Okay then!" Chen Xu looked at him under the neon lights, feeling very unreal. She suddenly remembered that she and Han Yidao had known each other for several years, and they had been virgin boyfriends for more than a year. , but Han Yidao never said anything about going to see the house. Chen Xu and Yan Yuese said to Zhang Dawei: "Don't relax in your studies during the Chinese New Year. The exam will come soon after the Chinese New Year." Zhang Dawei nodded, "I know! I'm going to throw up what I've learned now, but I'm still working hard. "Chen Xu nodded, "That's good, you don't learn for others. We children from poor families have to work harder than others." Zhang Dawei nodded in agreement.

Chen Xu felt very cold, so he said to him: "You should go back first, otherwise it will be too late and there will be no bus." This time Zhang Dawei was more sensible. He said: "I will send you to the unit first. Otherwise you won't be safe alone." Chen Xu didn't refuse, and the two of them walked all the way back to the door of the unit. Chen Xu said to Zhang Dawei: "Go back quickly, it's too late and your mother is worried." Zhang Dawei said anarchically: "It's okay, my mother thought I wouldn't go back tonight." Chen Xu pretended not to understand him The meaning of the words was: "Bye, go back quickly, it's so cold." Zhang Dawei walked away, and Chen Xu looked at his back, feeling very helpless. Zhang Dawei walked for a while and looked back to see Chen Xu still standing there looking at his back. He waved to Chen Xu with satisfaction, and the depression of not being able to get a room was diluted.

Chen Xu returned to the dormitory and lay on the bed very irritably, not knowing what to do for a while. You should really think twice before doing anything. The consequences of impulsiveness at that time have appeared now. Alas, it is depressing.
