Hyakki grocery store

After driving a long way around, Shi Kai mustered up the courage to walk into the community where his home is located. After several deep breaths, he took out the key to open the door.

Almost as soon as the door opened, his wife in an elegant long dress appeared in front of Shi Kai, smiled and said to Shi Kai: "Husband, why are you back so early today?"

Although Shi Kai didn't work overtime often, he never came back before meal time.

"I didn't have anything to do in the afternoon, so I came back early." Shi Kai didn't hear some voices that made him collapse immediately, so he breathed a sigh of relief, "How are you doing today?"

"It's still the same as before." Shi Kai's wife Xu Jing still smiled, "I went grocery shopping in the morning and bought some vitamins for my parents. When I passed by the store, I saw a tie that fit you well, so I bought it together. .”

"Thank you." Shi Kai has long been used to his wife's report mode, and he can also know his wife's daily schedule through these reports, which is a special kind of communication between husband and wife.

"After cleaning the house, I made lunch, then I did the laundry and watered the flowers, and after a short rest, I started making dinner."

Just as the wife finished her report, a voice came from the second floor of the house.

"Quiet, what about the newspaper you bought for me when you went out?"

"Dad, I'll bring it up for you." Xu Jing smiled at her husband, picked up a newspaper from the side of the sofa, and walked up the stairs to the second floor.

Just when Shi Kai thought everything was going well and everything was going on as usual, he suddenly heard the voice of his heart.

[If I slip and fall down the stairs, can I rest? ]

Shi Kai looked at his wife with a look of horror, but only saw that the other party was walking steadily all the way up, as if he could wrestle.

But Shi Kai can also be sure that he heard the voice correctly, it is indeed the voice of his wife Xu Jing.

Shi Kai walked into the living room and saw that his wife had already prepared all the ingredients for the dinner. As long as he did a little cooking, a sumptuous dinner was ready.

"Xiao Kai is back?" Shi Kai's parents walked down the stairs with Xu Jing. His mother is a woman with a gentle smile like Xu Jing, and Shi Kai's father was once an excellent investor. People, father and son feel somewhat similar.

"I am back."

Shi Kai sat on the sofa with his parents for a while, while Xu Jing went into the kitchen to get busy with dinner.

"It's not that Xiaokai can't make money. Next time, let's ask a servant to help. Anyway, the servant's room downstairs is still empty." Shi Kai's mother seemed to feel sorry for her busy daughter-in-law.

"How can a servant do the best job?" Shi Kai's father replied while reading the newspaper, "And didn't you always come here like this at that time? You are a good daughter-in-law of the Shi family."

[This tea seems to be a little different from before. ]

When Shi Kai saw his father frowning, he heard his father's heartfelt voice, and was surprised to hear his mother immediately explain: "The tea you often drink has bottomed out, and I think Jingjing is also very busy, so I let you She will go shopping tomorrow."

"This kind of thing should have been realized a few days ago." Shi Kai's father put down his teacup and continued to read the newspaper.

After a while, Shi Kai's father stretched out his hand to one side, and then Shi Kai's mother handed over the reading glasses over there.

The actions between father and mother made Shi Kai feel that even if his mother didn't listen to Shi, he could still know what his father was thinking.

If it was before, Shi Kai would not care about these trivial things even if he heard his heart, at most he would feel that his parents had a good heart.

But for some reason, at this moment Shi Kai suddenly felt how much his mother had put in to take care of his father for so many years, in order to reach such a state of observation.

Especially when it was time to eat, Shi Kai's feeling was magnified infinitely.

Sitting at the dining table, when Shi Kai looked at his father, what he heard was a bunch of critical voices.

[This dish is a bit salty. ]

[The steak was a bit overcooked. ]

[There are actually five meat dishes, and the mix of meat and vegetables is not balanced. ]

[This tea is really not smooth to drink. ]

When Shi Kai looked at his mother, he found that he couldn't hear any special voice, at most it was just recalling the TV series he had watched before.

But when Shi Kai looked at his wife, those inner voices seemed a little scary.

[I'm so tired, what should I do tomorrow?If there are still so few dishes, my husband and father should be unhappy, right? ]

[When I was cooking just now, I really wanted to chop the kitchen knife in my hand. ]

[Just leave this house, but where can I go? ]

[Go back to your mother's house?The other side will only ask, when will the Shi family give birth to an heir. ]

[My husband is so quiet today, he didn’t criticize my cooking at all, and he came home so early, did something happen? ]

[When is this the time to live a free life...]

[Maybe from the beginning, my choice was wrong. ]

Hearing his wife's last words, Shi Kai remembered that he had absolutely no confidence to accuse his father of being critical.At least the old father just buried these pickiness in his heart, but before he got the Listening Stone, it seemed that he, Shi Kai, was the only one who was openly critical of his wife's cooking skills and cooking style.

Accusing that there are not many dishes that mom and dad like to eat on the table.

Blame the clothes you wear when you go out for not being ironed in time.

He even accused his wife of snoring too loudly at night.

Every time his wife would respond with a smile, Shi Kai also felt that he was just saying it in passing, after all, all these are just trivial things in life.

But when he heard his wife's voice, he realized how tiring the life of this woman who had sworn to spend the rest of her life with him was.

To be honest, Shi Kai imagined many scary scenarios before walking into the house.

He had wondered if he might know something unbelievable because of the ability to hear the voice of his heart.

For example, will the wife turn her back on herself and do some wrong things?

Has the relationship between the parents already collapsed?

Will I have more half brothers and sisters?

Shi Kai even wondered if the three people sitting in the living room would be plotting with their hearts on how to kill him after he pushed the door open.

Compared with these horrific scenes, what Shi Kai heard now is actually just a trivial matter in life.

But it was these little things that made Shi Kai feel his failure more than those major events that shook the ground today.

After all, the things Shi Kai imagined before all stemmed from his distrust of his family members, and he guessed whether his family members made any mistakes.

But in the final analysis, I never considered my wife's feelings in every detail of my life, and regarded my wife who had a good background and vowed to take care of her life as a servant who came and went.

He even made irreparable mistakes.

When things came to an end, whether it was friends, relatives or lovers around him, Shi Kai never really saw clearly.

Even though Shi Kai was full of confidence in the people around him at the beginning, this kind of confidence seemed vulnerable in the face of doubts.

During the whole dinner, Shi Kai silently paid attention to his wife who looked a little tired. Even though his wife's tired voice kept echoing in his mind, he didn't look away.

After dinner, Shi Kai's wife immediately got up to clear the table.

"Let me do it."

Under the shocked eyes of the family, Shi Kai suddenly got up from his seat, rolled up his sleeves and started to pack the dishes, and took them all the way back to the kitchen to start washing.

It is obviously something that elementary school students can do, but in the eyes of Shi Kai's family, it is a bit unbelievable.

At night, when she fell asleep late at night, Xu Jing, who was still exhausted all day, was about to fall asleep with a small tool to prevent snoring, when she suddenly heard her husband lying next to her say, "Honey, have you ever thought about going out to work?"

Xu Jing opened her mouth wide and looked at Shi Kai in disbelief.

"Or how about going on a good trip for a while?" Shi Kai continued, "There will always be one or two friends, right?"

"Shi Kai." Xu Jing's expression suddenly became serious, "Did you commit a crime? Or did you suddenly go bankrupt and be chased for debt?"

"Yeah, I committed a crime." Shi Kai nodded and admitted, "I have never admitted any mistakes, and I have never felt that admitting mistakes is useful."

Xu Jing was silent.

"My parents have their own assets, and various pension deposits that I have given them. So in addition to these, all my real estate, deposits, and companies and restaurants will go to your name."

"Aside from my life, I'm afraid there are only these things that can be compensated." Shi Kai smiled wryly, "Don't worry, I won't take anyone away from the company, even if you don't care about anything, Chen Jun will take care of everything. And I remember, you used to study finance, right?"

Xu Jing remained silent.

The two of them lay on the bed like this, and after a long silence with their eyes open, Xu Jing spoke again.

"Then what do you do?" Xu Jing did not refuse.

"I just found out that I don't really have any advantages." Shi Kai smiled wryly, "But starting from scratch is a bit good."

After that, Xu Jing and Shi Kai didn't talk, they just lay quietly on the bed and didn't fall asleep all night.

Shi Kai said these words and made these promises not just because he found that he never cared about his wife. After all, those small things will become insignificant with the passage of time.

But Jiaojiao and the child in her womb are Shi Kai's irreparable fault.Even if you glue the broken mirror back together, it will never be the same again.

Boss Bai is right, the perfect result is not important, even many times the rest is not perfect.

But working hard to make things better is what a person should really do.

"sorry."

After quietly speaking, Shi Kai closed his eyes.

Early the next morning, Shi Kai called Jiaojiao.

"Jiaojiao, that child... No matter what decision you make, I will be responsible to the end. But I am already penniless now, so it may be delayed for a while..."

"You can give me anything you want, but although it sounds ridiculous, I can't promise marriage alone."

"After all, I once promised marriage and loyalty to one person. Although everything is ruined by myself now, I don't plan to promise another person."

"..." There was silence on the other end of the phone for a while, and then Jiaojiao's voice came, "Sorry, I found out later that I seemed to have miscalculated the date, and this child is not yours."

"..."

"But I really didn't expect it." Jiaojiao let out a chuckle on the other end of the phone, "I never thought you, an egomaniac, would say such a thing."
