Of course, at first I thought the word Xuan was not a good word, but in the end it was my lack of knowledge.What does my husband's name mean?This question must have been said by my father-in-law. No matter how many of us guess, it is not the original intention of the person who named it.

At the old man's house, he shouldn't be angry.But it was the work of washing dishes, and my husband and I had a rare quarrel.

"Thank you, wife."

There are two people next to a kitchen sink and two hands in a sink, which is quite crowded.

"What's the hard work?" I was washing the dishes, too lazy to look up at him.

He can even wash the dishes faster and cleaner than me, maybe I'm really used to it.We have been married for so many years, and we have grown up. The relationship between the two of them is no longer the same as before. Now they are purely old couples, and they speak more directly than in the past. Once the temper comes up, it's like the rice overflowing when the fire is hot. After a while At that moment, my emotions exploded, and I didn't let him think about it, my mind was in a mess, I forgot where I was, who I was, and my mind was full of this stinky man, so I just remembered that he made me unhappy , he upset me.

"Xuan'er." The old man's son-in-law voice came.

"Hey Dad!" As soon as the old man over there finished speaking, my husband immediately responded, but today he didn't run over immediately, but instead helped me wash a bowl, I said "Dad called you" , he just went out.

I heard the sound of washing dishes, and I didn't care to listen to what was said outside.

As a result, after he went out for a while, he showed his head and lay down on the edge of the door again, and said with a smile, "Do you want to help my wife?"

"No, I've finished washing." I replied, thinking that this man is getting more and more shameless, if someone who is not handsome makes such a move, wouldn't it be extremely greasy.

There were oil stars floating on the water on the pot, I sighed, and squeezed some dish soap to brush the pot.

My husband is 40 years old. He raised his voice and spoke without any violation. I think he drinks a lot of water on weekdays. People who study medicine have a little research on health preservation. Unlike me, he is always bullied by him Urged to drink water.At this age, the voice has become thicker, and the voice of Yu Jie back then is now the voice of Da Ma.

He said: "Okay, come out quickly, my dad said there are good things for us to see."

"Hmm." I replied.

If the old man said something good, it would naturally be a good thing.I finished washing the pots and pans, wiped my hands, and went out.This old one didn't sit on the sofa, unlike me, who loves to sit after eating, and is pulled up by my husband every time.My husband's good habits were all brought up by the old man. It's not difficult to see what kind of person the old man was back then.

"Hey, they are all photos taken by Dongdong, and they are indeed good things." The old man finally sat on the sofa, and took out a thick photo album from under the coffee table. The cover of the album has been worn out, and it seems that the days have been quite long of.

So the three of us sat on the sofa, and my husband and I looked at the photos around the old man.

My son likes photography since elementary school, and my husband also supports it, but the condition is that my son must improve to the top ten in the next exam. My son agreed at the time. After a few days, I just got home from work, and my son pulled me and said, Mom, grandpa bought me a camera.

"Grandpa bought it for you?" I was stunned.

My son happily dangled in front of me with the camera, sitting on the sofa and playing with himself: "I told grandpa, and grandpa bought it for me."

When the child was just sensible, my husband was abroad, and spent most of those years with the old man. Compared with his father, he was closer to the old man.

When my husband came back in the evening, I told him about it, but he smiled cheerfully, called the old man and said, "Thank you, Dad."

From elementary school to high school, my son's photography skills are good. I don't know photography, so I can't judge anything. At least as far as the photos are concerned, in the photos, he and the old man are more smiling than the other. In my heart, it is considered A good photo, after all, it can make the people who see the photos laugh, what is a good photo?

The old man pointed to a scissors hand photo of his son and said: "Dongdong has thick eyebrows and big eyes, just like his father, and the one with a high nose and small mouth, like his mother. Our children are all good-looking. Especially this one, this one Zhang Xuan'er also has a similar one, I'll find it for you." After saying this, the old man stood up and was about to go to the study.

"Dad, I'll get it, I'll get it." My husband said.

To be honest, after so many years of marriage, I haven't seen any photos of my husband when he was a child.

The photo album was brought over, not thick, but rather thin, and the cover was still yellowing.

Seeing that my husband was not going to hand it over, the old man stretched out his hand. As soon as the old man stretched out his hand, my husband immediately offered it with both hands.

When I opened the first photo, it was my husband's scissors, with a red scarf around his neck. It looked like it was taken in elementary school, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, very handsome.

"Isn't it?" The old man showed us comparing the two photos.

"Haha, they are exactly the same." My husband laughed very happily.

Don't blame him for smiling happily, it's just me, no matter how unhappy I am, I also smiled when I saw these two photos, raised my head and said to the old man: "It's exactly the same."

The old man's eyebrows were all smiles, and his energy has increased a lot, but for some reason, I feel that there is something in his eyes.

I lowered my head, looked at the photo, and wondered if my husband overheard my conversation just now, but neither of us said anything excessive.

The old man continued to flip through the photos, and I saw a series of photos of my husband from elementary school to junior high school to high school to university. It can only be said that the longer the man is, the more handsome he is, and the one thing that remains unchanged in the photos is always the Spiritual energy, but there is no old man in the photo.

After all, I have been married to my husband for so many years, and I know what to ask and what not to ask. When I turned to this enemy, the old man didn’t have any photos. According to common sense, it must be something wrong, but I didn’t ask. Big secret, there are too many things behind it.

There are not many photos, so I quickly turned to the end. I had been thinking that there would be no old man, but in the last photo, there were two young people.

A white coat and a black suit.

I just heard the old man put the photo album on his knees and said: "When your father was young, he wore a white coat and was worthy of a handsome man. It's a pity that he died young."

My husband's face froze with a smile, but I was dumbfounded.

"Remember to bring wine next time, just the one you brought last time, it's delicious."

The old man's words are really sharp, it can be regarded as telling a person's life, and by the way, it also solved the doubts in my mind for so many years.

The handsome one in the white coat is my other father-in-law, who left early.

The old man is indeed a lover.

When leaving, the old man told me to take this and that. It was like this every time, and we were used to it. My husband always took it away obediently and never shirked it.

Saying goodbye to the old man, my husband drove the car, and I sat in the co-pilot, and I smiled and fell silent, as if the joy just now had nothing to do with us.

The scenery of this community is really good, there is a man-made lake, with mountains and water, it was considered a luxurious community in those days.

The two of us left after dinner. Normally there shouldn’t be a traffic jam, but my husband didn’t take the usual road. Instead, he took a detour to another road. This road often has traffic jams. The two of us walked by it before, but today is different from the past. Today I am too lazy to speak.

It was my husband who spoke first: "Just now my dad stopped me and said something."

I didn't speak, and my husband continued: "He said, Xiao Liu'er is a good girl, after waiting for you for so many years, you can't let her down."

I figured it out, this road, no matter how blocked it is, my husband will definitely go today.

"I thought about it carefully..."

I said something nonsense: "Drive well."

Where can it go?The road was completely blocked, and I couldn't walk at all.

But the husband continued what he said just now: "I thought about it carefully, my wife, have you misunderstood?"

We couldn’t walk on the front and back of the road. Our car was stuck between the cars and couldn’t move half an inch. My husband’s mouth was like a box, and he couldn’t close it after opening: “My wife is so nice, she has a good personality. Well, good character, kindness, delicious cooking, so many good things aside, it's still a flower..."

I sneered and said, "Xihua is my roommate."

He was really shameless: "I'm wrong, but my wife is indeed the best person I've ever met."

"What are you trying to say?" I yelled angrily.

He didn't speak anymore, I turned my head to look at him, only to find that he looked at me at some point.

At this moment, he frowned again.

He said in the past that people should not frown, because frowning always leads to wrinkles.I definitely frown when I say I'm angry.He told me he would make me happy for the rest of my life.I smiled and said that it won't cause wrinkles.He said he would, but when the time comes, even the wrinkles are happy.

We're all growing old now, and we're all frowning now.

The atmosphere became silent again, so silent that the car in front was moving, so silent that we finally reached the traffic light.

At this time, he spoke in silence.

"We have been married for 17 years. We got married when you just graduated. At that time, I was still studying for an undergraduate degree. Later, I went to graduate school for a Ph. D., and I went abroad for a long time... They all said that it is impossible for me to marry a wife like this. Three lives are lucky, I feel the same way, I am sorry for my wife, I went to graduate school, left my wife at home to take care of the children, after returning home, my wife still cooks for me with a big belly."

"Stop talking." I shook my head.

I almost forgot what he said, and now I don't even know why
