kind of bend me

That night, He Lei made four dishes and one soup, two meat and two vegetables, and called Sibao to eat together.

During the banquet, the Four Treasures continued to praise, Brother Lei, when will you stay in Shajiabang, I will come here every day to eat.

He Lei smiled, Shen Xu picked up a mouthful of food and put it in his mouth, sure enough, it tasted like home.

After Sibao left, Shen Xu rolled up his sleeves and went into the kitchen, "You cook the rice, and I have to do the dishes no matter what. Look at it, washing dishes is my brother's strong point."

He Lei poured a cup of hot water and warmed it in his hand, leaning against the kitchen door to chat with him.

"Shen Xu, what is your dream?"

Shen Xu thought for a while, "When I was very young, I wanted to be an astronaut and fly into space, when I was older..."

When he was older, his dream became Wanchen, but unfortunately, that dream was too shattered and could not be put back together.

"Now, I don't have any dreams anymore. I am full and hungry every day, guarding this small shop, and living such a simple life."

He Lei didn't speak, Shen Xu looked back at him, "What about you? What is your dream? It shouldn't be as unreliable as me being an astronaut!"

He Lei held up his cup and took a sip of water, "I was similar to you when I was young, and I wanted to be able to fly a plane when I grew up. After working for a few years, I wanted to have my own company and be the boss. Of course, the bigger the company, the better, but, Let’s go step by step, wherever we go!”

Shen Xu's action of washing the dishes paused for a moment, then he put on a smiling face, turned his head to look at him from the corner of his eye, "That's pretty good, which man doesn't want to be the boss!"

After chatting for a while, He Lei returned to the living room with the cup, Shen Xu turned off the tap, and put the washed dishes into the cabinet.

He poured himself a cup of hot water and sipped it while leaning against the sink.

Looking up a little, he saw He Lei sitting on the sofa in the living room watching TV. A gentle family man was his best choice.

But in my heart, there was still some inexplicable loss.

It's good for a man to be ambitious. If he hasn't experienced those terrible things, he should support He Lei's idea very much.

Back then, Leng Touqing broke into Wan Chen's world like a young man, fell in love with that career-minded man, and thought only of how to help him.result……

For a career-minded man, he was a little apprehensive from the bottom of his heart.

Lying in bed that night, he tossed and thought about He Lei's words, and didn't gradually fall asleep until dawn.

Perhaps because of something on his mind, he still had a dream after only two hours of sleep.

In the dream, He Lei became the boss of a listed company. He handed over the flower basket of blessings. He Lei smiled, the smile was still so gentle, took the flower basket, and threw it into the trash can beside him.

After waking up from the dream, he was truly awake.

For the first time, I seriously thought about this budding relationship.

As far as the present is concerned, He Lei is indeed a perfect person, so perfect that he can't believe that he will have such a good life.

But there are still problems between them.

From T City to D City, although it is not a long distance, it is not a situation where we can meet every day.

He Lei is busy with work. If he wants to be promoted and become a boss in the future, he has to work hard while he is young and work hard to climb the ladder.

I heard him say that working overtime on weekends is common, which means that they may not see each other for a week.And if he ran over again and again, would he be as annoying as before?

They have just started now, their relationship is not yet strong, and they have been separated for a long time...

The focus of He Lei's work is in City D, and all his contacts and relationships are kept there. If he is lucky enough to start a company in the future, he will definitely be in that city.

As for T City, this home, Shen Xu really doesn't want to give up.

For ten years, he has gotten used to this small house with two bedrooms and one living room, he is used to watching his little god being released from the iron cage every day, he is used to the warm four-treasure alarm clock, and he is used to the current Shen Xu.

T City has long been his home.

In the morning, Shen Xu took He Lei to visit their neighbor - the No. [-] Kindergarten in the city.

The Spring Festival is coming to an end, and the gatekeeper is a restless person, so he comes to the kindergarten in advance to do sanitation work.

Shen Xu greeted him and brought He Lei into the kindergarten.

This is a place completely unfamiliar to He Lei, as if he has stepped into a cartoon world.

The child playing the violin on the wall is intoxicated in the world of music, groups of little swallows fly across the blue sky, and small animals hiding in every corner poke their heads out to look curiously at this place full of laughter; Green "branches" and a few flying "butterflies" hang down, and the three-dimensional Snow White and Cinderella on the pillar greet each other happily.

Shen Xu pointed to the empty classroom and told him that there are three classes in the small class. This is an apple class, that is a strawberry class, and there is a watermelon class. The children in it only eat the fruit marked by their own class every day.

He Lei looked at him expressionlessly, and after looking at each other for a long time, Shen Xu finally couldn't hold back his laughter.

"Tell me, you can die if you laugh!"

There are several brightly colored and uniquely shaped slides on the small playground, and several half-grown children wearing thick cotton clothes have a great time playing.

A three or four-year-old girl sang nursery rhymes in her mother's arms.

"A little baby fell down on the east side, and he helped him to call his mother. There was a magnifying glass on the east side, picked up the little baby, washed his handkerchief and went home."

The little girl's mother smiled helplessly, and kept boasting that her baby sang very well.

He Lei looked at Shen Xu blankly, are nursery rhymes so difficult to understand now?

Seeing his expression, Shen Xu finally felt complacent, held back a smile and explained kindly, "I'm still young, forgive her for not being able to speak clearly, it's good if she can remember. Let me translate for you, there is a little doll on the side of the road I fell down, wow, wow, crying and calling my mother, I quickly ran over to pick up the little doll, and happily sent him home."

He Lei suddenly realized, "You are worthy of being the king of children, and you even know this."

Shen Xu, "I've been listening to this song for seven or eight years, it's no wonder I can't remember it!"

At noon, Wanjia played a symphony of spatulas beating iron pots. Amidst this harmonious sound, a hoarse cry seemed particularly abrupt.

People poked their heads out one after another, and it was only after a while that they realized that it was Sister Li on the third floor who was fighting with her husband who was teaching.

The neighbors ran to break up the fight and separated the two who were fighting so hard. Sister Li, who cried and refused to give up, was dragged outside Sibao's small supermarket.

Sibao and Shen Xu moved out a few small benches from the house, and the seven aunts and eight aunts persuaded the woman with disheveled hair and a dirty nose who was still wiping tears.

The woman's affairs can be summed up in one sentence. An old woman in her 60s with poor legs and feet came to seek refuge with her eldest son, but the daughter-in-law blocked the door and refused to let in.

Just listening to this sentence sums up that everyone will scold this evil daughter-in-law, and the evil daughter-in-law also has grievances. Is there no reason why I am evil?

Shen Xu crouched in front of her with a roll of toilet paper in her arms. After she took out a few rolls of toilet paper and blew her nose, she began to pour bitter water.

When Sister Li's daughter was just born, her mother-in-law thought it was a girl and immediately squatted at the door of the delivery room and burst into tears.

During Sister Li's hospitalization, her mother-in-law brought her rotten food, and she cried about it when she met everyone. Coupled with postpartum depression, people said she was going crazy during that time.

After returning home after being discharged from the hospital, Sister Li felt hungry every day when she wanted to breastfeed, but when her husband was not at home, she couldn't have a bite of hot food until nine o'clock in the evening. She called mother five times, but her mother-in-law refused.

Finally, a war between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law broke out, and the mother-in-law went back to her hometown angrily, saying that I will not blame you in the future, I have a young son and a daughter, and I don’t need you to ask me if I die.

"How did I suffer during that time, and the neighbors also watched! It was a snowy day, and I carried my child who was less than one year old to go to work. I fell a few times on the road, and the child's head was smashed. I cried again. What's the use of being distressed, after being bandaged in the hospital, I still have to hug him to go to work. I don't go to work, just because of his little salary, the pot can't be uncovered. Where was the old woman at that time? Her father couldn't bear to hug the child. What did she say when the child went back to her hometown and asked her to take it with her?! She sat on the mahjong table and said that she was not free without even looking at it. Back home, she was partial to her little grandson. She beat and scolded her. After the child came back, she didn’t want to go again. She is also a grandma. Does she have the face to let the child call her grandma?! No matter how hard it is, I will No, I’ve made it through, my child has gone to college now, why can’t I enjoy two years of blessings, oh, this old woman is kicked out by her son, and she doesn’t want her daughter, she’s coming to see me. Why should I serve her! It’s about conscience, as long as she treats me and my child more than half a cent, I can’t treat her like this! Everything I said when I was young has been eaten by dogs, so don’t come to me forever if you don’t blame me!”

After Sister Li cried and finished speaking, the neighbors came up to persuade them, some who shared the same hatred, and some who persuaded the family to make everything go well. Sister Li cursed and said that this time she must leave the child and her father and rent a house where her daughter went to college. You can also take care of your daughter.

Neighbors tried to persuade her for a long time, but she didn't see Sister Li wavering. In the end, Shen Xu pulled her into the house.

Sister Li is a knife-mouthed tofu-hearted person, and she usually takes good care of him and Sibao, two bachelors. In the past two years, the kindergarten will buy a batch of small toys. Sister Li has a good relationship with the principal, so let him take the goods from Shen Xu's place. After earning a small fortune, Shen Xu took two boxes of milk to Sister Li's house, and Sister Li returned a lot of beef jerky that he brought from Inner Mongolia the next day.

Afterwards, He Lei asked him why he would take care of these family matters, Shen Xu waved his hand, neighbors, they are all like this, you help me and I will take care of you, the relationship is harmonious and easy to get along with.

Sibao let out a "bah", "You might as well run for the male and female director. You, a big man, can handle this kind of thing?!"

Facts have proved that Shen Xu can really manage it.

At the dinner table, Shen Xu mentioned that he saw Uncle Wang, Sister Li's husband, eating with a woman in her 30s in a nice restaurant a few days ago.

Sister Li's eyes widened instantly, and she looked at him in disbelief.

Shen Xu frowned, "Actually, I really shouldn't say this, that is, there should be nothing wrong with having a meal. Don't think too much, Sister Li. Although this Uncle Wang is a teacher with an editor, and he is over 40 years old. You are also energetic, and usually many elder sisters talk about you with envy and hatred. Who is so lucky for you! Uncle Wang does not gamble or whore, and he does not smoke or drink. As an advanced teacher, you have such a bright face! The mother-in-law's affairs can't be rushed, and you have to take it easy. If you stop people from entering the house at once, it's reasonable and unreasonable. You said Uncle Wang can't Are you in a hurry? Let me help you think about it. Well, it’s actually not difficult. Doesn’t the old lady have a house in her hometown? It’s true that she agreed to give it to her youngest son at the beginning, but it’s also conditional. Oh, now People don’t want to serve and want to occupy the house, so don’t be afraid to tear your face, and say it clearly, you can either take the old lady back and serve her well, or the house will be split in half. He disagrees? Okay, if you don’t agree, just go ahead. Said that there will be a lawsuit in the future. Sister Li, he really doesn't want to come to pick him up, and you won't suffer. After serving for a few years, you will get hundreds of thousands. Uncle Wang hasn't said anything to you, so you don't have to worry about this Qingqing's dowry. Speaking of which, if you really don’t want to live with him, you can leave. But you think about it, it’s not easy for you to find someone better than Uncle Wang. I think that girl is at most 35 or [-] years old. Isn’t your mother-in-law patriarchal, let that woman live in the house you bought with hard-earned money, and give birth to a fat grandson with your ex-husband. This old mother is also old, and I think her legs and feet are not good , just let that woman serve you, and you can enjoy the blessings, right? It’s hundreds of thousands, we don’t want that. Haha... Sister Li, I’m just joking, just to make you laugh. Just have a meal together, you see I said so much, don't think too much!"

As soon as the meal here was over, Sister Li rushed back home, Shen Xu listened for a long time with his ears upright, there was no fight, no quarrel, no further mention of the divorce.

He Lei gave him a thumbs up and praised him again and again. This male and female director has done a great job.

Sibao poked his head over curiously, "Did you really see Brother Wang eating with a woman?"

Shen Xu closed his eyes and laughed happily, "I saw a ghost, how can she be fooled if I don't take heavy medicine!"

When taking a walk at night, Shen Xu led He Lei to the school playground,

"This is the place where I usually exercise. The environment is not bad. It is cleaned every day. Anyone who wears leather shoes is not allowed to enter."

He Lei walked around with him for a few laps, and the food was almost gone, and they sat in the small gazebo to rest their feet.

He Lei said, "You like this place very much."

Shen Xu looked around, "It's okay, the air is fine sooner or later."

He Lei shook his head, "I'm not talking about this playground, but this city, your home, and the people, things, and things around your home. You like it very much."

A row of ground lights on the edge of the playground lit up, colorful, illuminating the road under the feet of pedestrians.

Shen Xu: "Of course, there is no one who doesn't like home! I have been here for ten years, and I am too familiar with everything here, kindergarten, school, supermarket, neighbor aunt, market master, and Sibao, Sibao's sisters. This is my second home, and I even want to make it my home for the rest of my life." He turned his head to look at He Lei's blurred face in the darkness, "He Lei, I don't want to change anything for the time being."

Silence circulated around them, people walking around the playground, a few people who looked like middle school students were laughing and playing on the parallel bars.

The 30-year-old Shen Xu has only been in love once. When getting along with He Lei, he always wanted to learn the lesson of being with Wan Chen and change his approach. Maybe this would lead to a different result.

He told He Lei his thoughts and position earlier, so as not to make a wrong judgment like he did back then, which led to repeated entanglements later.

After falling in love with He Lei little by little, it was only then that he realized how much he feared love.

I am afraid that if I take a wrong step or do something wrong, it will lead to irreversible consequences.

All the while, he couldn't completely get rid of Wan Chen's nightmare.

In the end, even the qualifications of a lover are gone.
