After Wang Mei returned to the city, she first joined a textile factory and became a small clerk.
The matter of going back to the city was helped by her ex-boyfriend, which was a kind of compensation for letting her down.
After returning to the city, Wang Mei wanted to continue her relationship with her ex-boyfriend, but the two had an improper relationship, but the man just committed a disease that most men have, and he would not eat meat for nothing. Divorce is impossible.
"I have already paid back what should be paid to you. I don't owe you anything anymore."
"Fan Siping, are you human, I have paid so much for you, why would you have sex with me if you don't marry me?"
"Wang Mei, don't be funny, can you? Did I force you? I am not the only one who is happy about the love between men and women."
Wang Mei's face turned pale.
"Don't look for me again in the future, let's get together and break up."
Fan Siping left after speaking, leaving Wang Mei alone with a feeling of emptiness.
Later, Wang Mei met her current husband, Luan Wei, at a social event organized by the Provincial Trade Union, and they married for a while.
Luan Wei's family was well off, and his father worked in a government department. After marriage, the Luan family transferred Wang Mei to work in the library through their connections.
Wang Mei and Luan Wei's marriage was based on reality, and he was chosen because of Luan's family background.
They had been married for three years, Wang Mei was not pregnant, and their married life was lacklustre. Luan Wei's mother died of illness, and no one in Luan's family urged her to have a baby.
The more Wang Mei thought about it, the more uncomfortable she became. When she was young, children were not important to her, not as important as her own future. But as she got older, it might be the potential explosion of maternal love. Seeing the baby she gave birth to, A child of his own blood is still much different from other people's children.
That day Wang Mei came near the elementary school, staring at the school gate, waiting for the school to dismiss.
Her thoughts were very confused, she didn't know what to say when she saw the child, and she didn't know if Heidan still remembered herself.
"Brother, I got 100 points in the test today, my uncle said that if I get 100 points in the test, I will cook chicken thighs for me to eat."
The stone is half a head shorter than the black egg, and its volume is exactly one and a half times that of the black egg. He especially loves to eat. He used to have nothing to eat in the countryside, but in the city, there are candies and biscuits. The food at home is good, like a balloon It blew up.
"You won't know until you go back."
Heidan didn't give a clear answer, but he knew that Aunt Hui always kept her word and never lied to children. She must be very happy that Shitou has made progress in his studies.
"Heidan, do you remember me?"
Seeing her son face to face, Wang Mei was more excited than she imagined.
She looked at Heidan, and her eyes traced her son's eyebrows.
He really looks like himself, with similar eyes, similar face shape, eyebrows like Zhao Donglin, and mouth like Zhao Donglin.
Her eye sockets turned red unconsciously. Compared with Wang Mei's excitement, Heidan seemed too cold.
From the moment she stood in front of him, he knew that this was his "mother". Although he was very young when she left, and gradually forgot her appearance as time went by, Heidan just knew that this woman It is the one who gave birth to him.
The two stared at each other for dozens of seconds, but instead of hugging and crying or warmly recognizing each other as Wang Mei had imagined, Heidan moved away without saying a word.
Wang Mei froze for a moment, she had thought about Heidan's various reactions after seeing her, but there was no such thing as no reaction.
She hastily stretched out her hand to grab Heidan's clothes, and said eagerly, "Heidan, I'm mother!"
Following behind Heidan, Shi Shi, who had been watching the bustle, opened his mouth in surprise.
Although he is two years younger than Hei Dan and has no impression of Wang Mei, he knows that Hei Dan was not born to his aunt, but this kind of adult matter is too far away from the child's life. When I arrived at Zhao's house, I didn't think there was anything special.
Heidan lowered his eyelids, his long eyelashes blocked the emotions in his eyes, he used force to break away from Wang Mei's palm.
"I don't have a mother, my mother is dead."
Wang Mei became anxious, she stepped forward and bent down to hold Heidan's arm.
"You have a mother! I am your mother! Who told you that your mother is dead? Is it your father, your grandma, or the stepmother your father married later? Don't listen to them, they just hate me and deliberately bury me .”
Heidan's eyelashes fluttered slightly, and he looked up at Wang Mei. This woman was young and beautiful. At this moment, her face was full of unwillingness and blame, and the excitement of seeing him was gone.
She certainly doesn't love you at all, if she loves you, she will hug you tightly and look at you lovingly, but she doesn't.
"I've already said, I don't have a mother, please let go."
Wang Mei looked at Heidan in disbelief, as if she didn't know him.
"I really didn't expect you to become like this, how cute you were when you were young."
Heidan didn't speak, turned and left.
But I don't think so in my heart. When I was a child, how long ago was that? A person who disappeared for four or five years suddenly appeared, and as soon as he appeared, he accused himself of changing, but I was just a child.
When the two brothers arrived home, Yingbao was already playing in the yard. Jiahui got out of school early today, so she went to bring Sister Yingbao back first.
"Heidan, Shitou, do you have any homework today? If you have homework, do your homework first, and let's have dinner after finishing it."
Heidan gave a grunt and went back to the house with his schoolbag on his back. Shitou looked at his brother and then at Jiahui, hesitant to speak.
"Shitou, what's the matter, did the test results come out?"
Jiahui still remembered the agreement with Shitou that she would cook big chicken drumsticks for him if she got 100 points in the test. She thought it was because Shitou didn't get 100 points in the test.
"Come out, I passed a hundred in the exam."
It was only then that Shitou remembered about the score, took out the test paper from his schoolbag and handed it to Jiahui.
"Auntie, let me tell you something."
Shi Shi leaned over and lowered his voice, looking a little mysterious. Jiahui saw that he was a child just like an adult, and smiled and motioned him to speak.
"My brother Zhao, a woman after school today, said she was his mother, but my brother ignored her."
Before listening to it, Jiahui thought it was an insignificant matter among children, but after listening to it, Jiahui frowned.
"Well, good, you did the right thing, remember to tell my aunt next time something like this happens."
Jiahui patted Shitou's big head and pulled out a gentle smile.
"Remember the chicken legs that Auntie promised you, and I will make them for you at noon tomorrow."
Shitou nodded and said with a smile, "Auntie, I want the biggest drumstick."
"Okay, I'll give you the best."
Shitou cheered and went back to the house. Yingbao turned his head to look at Jiahui and asked suspiciously, "Mom, what did brother Shitou say?"
She is still young, she doesn't understand some things, and no one has ever told her about Wang Mei. In her heart, she is her mother's daughter.
Zhao Donglin came back before dinner, Jiahui was not in a hurry to bring up this matter, she observed Heidan carefully, she didn't have any special emotions, and she was mostly silent as usual.
After the meal was finished quietly, when Zhang Qiaoer washed Shishi, Shishi didn't pay attention to the conversation, and Zhang Qiaoer found out about it.
"What? That woman came to the door!"
Zhang Qiaoer's voice went up an octave, and then she came out of the house, called Zhao Donglin, and went to the black egg house together.
"Mom, what's the matter, you are so angry, who made you angry?"
Zhang Qiaoer stretched out her index finger and pointed at her son Zhao Donglin, and said anxiously and angrily, "You still ask me why I am angry, you go and ask Heidan who came to him today and what you said to him, that shameless Wang Mei is here .”
Zhao Donglin was stunned.
****
Zhao Donglin looked at Wang Mei in front of him, his heart was calm and unwavering.
"You shouldn't show up, and you dare not say those things to your children."
Wang Mei tilted her head, her eyes were red, and her lips were tightly closed, with a feeling of arrogance.
"They're doing well now, knowing that it's not happiness for them to have a mother who abandons her child because of her own future and doesn't care about her child."
"But I am their mother after all, I gave birth to them."
Zhao Donglin looked at Wang Mei with indescribable emotions in his eyes, as if disappointed and relieved.
"Parents' greatest favor to their children is not to give birth to them, but to accompany and nurture them. Isn't it the lack of parents to raise them without teaching them? When you leave when they need you most, have you ever thought about what it will do to them? Injury, you haven't considered these, because you only have yourself in your heart."
When he said these words, Zhao Donglin was tender in his heart, because he thought of Jiahui.
Jiahui said that parents can only walk a short distance with their children. When they were young, parents had to spend a lot of time and energy with their children, teaching them the world and the principles of life. Facing the world, you will not be afraid, and you will not go astray.
They will know that their parents are always behind them watching them and supporting them, their hearts are full of love, and they will not be afraid or hesitate.
Wang Mei's tears finally fell, she frowned in pain, and shouted in a questioning tone, "Is all this what I want? I don't want to be like this either. Is this world fair to me?"
Zhao Donglin sighed, there is no need to discuss this issue, the times have created many shortcomings, Wang Mei said that she is innocent, how innocent is Zhao Donglin, how innocent are Heidan and Yingbao
If Wang Mei hadn't insisted on divorce at the beginning, he would have been willing to work hard with her for the family and children. If she wanted to go back to the city, she could also pass the college entrance examination to realize her dream, but she didn't wait for the turning point, so she gave up first.
"I know, you're married, you only see the newcomers laughing, but you don't hear the old ones crying, you don't listen to what I say, only your new wife is in your heart..."
"Wang Mei, you have to be conscientious to be a human being. If you keep messing around like this, then don't blame me for not remembering the past."
Wang Mei said that other Zhao Donglin could bear it, but Jiahui couldn't bear it.
For so many years, no one knows better than him how much Jiahui has sacrificed and worked hard for this family and for the black egg Yingbao!
"No one is sorry for you, and not everyone wants to turn around you. I am willing to come to you today, but I just want you to stay away from the child. If you let me know next time that you are close to the child, I will let you know It's called regret."
Zhao Donglin got up and was about to leave. Before leaving, he took a look at Wang Mei.
"Let's live your life well. I heard that you and your husband's relationship is not very good. Women should be softer and don't be so extreme. You are not young anymore. You should think about yourself in the future."
*****
"I went to find Wang Mei today."
At night, the husband and wife finally lay down on the bed after their busy work. Zhao Donglin took the initiative to bring up the topic of Wang Mei, and Jiahui gave a sound, as if he knew it beforehand, but he didn't seem to know it.
"Aren't you going to ask me what I told her?"
The daughter-in-law hummed lightly, without even asking a few words, Zhao Donglin was obviously dissatisfied.
Jiahui leaned against Zhao Donglin's arms, not even bothering to open her eyes.
"What are you talking about, is it possible that the two of you can talk to each other and rekindle your old relationship? I'm not worried."
The divorce was so ugly back then, no matter what, it's impossible to get back together, right
"Are you so worried about me?"
So relieved, I don't know whether I should be happy or sad.
Sometimes he also wants to see his wife worrying about him and being jealous or something, but he feels too relieved and feels a little lacking in taste.
Finally, Jiahui was willing to open her eyes, she turned to look at Zhao Donglin.
"Of course I'm relieved of you, why not? If you really dare to do something to be sorry to me, I will definitely let you know what regret is."
She had a smile on her face, and her voice was charming, but for some reason, Zhao Donglin's heart skipped a beat when she heard it.
He unconsciously tightened his grip on Jiahui, knowing that Jiahui was telling the truth, and if he really did something wrong to her, she would really make him regret it.
This woman, lying in his arms, shared the same bed with him every day, but there was always a feeling that he couldn't hold her tightly, as if she could pull away and leave at any time.
"How would you make me regret, give up on me? Leave me? Kick me away?"
Jiahui snorted arrogantly, "That depends on your performance. If you treat me well and are loyal to marriage, I will naturally stay by your side forever. If you treat me badly and do something that is sorry to me, then What am I keeping you for?"
What a wonderful life to not have to worry about a man who has a change of heart.
Zhao Donglin was really angry when he heard Jiahui's words, for nothing but Jiahui's words of leaving him so easily.
He rolled over and pressed Jiahui down, staring at her face in the dark.
"Just say this once, I will never do anything wrong to you in this life, so you just give up, we must entangle to death."
Just saying something casually by himself made him so excited, Jiahui was funny and a little touched, just about to say that she was joking, but Zhao Donglin lowered his head and covered her mouth, and then he couldn't care less about talking anymore.
Wang Mei's appearance had some influence on Heidan, and he was even less talkative these days.
In the past, he forgot about this person and her appearance, but now this person clearly appeared in front of him. Besides, Heidan also felt guilty towards Jiahui, although he couldn't say he was guilty.
Jiahui noticed Heidan's abnormality, so she went out of her way to talk to Heidan this day.
"Zhuo Jun, I know you may not be in a good mood recently. In fact, you don't need to take this matter to heart. You are just a child and a victim of the whole thing. What you can do now is to study hard and learn more Knowledge, become a useful person, when you grow up, have your own judgment, have the ability to decide your own life, you can deal with things according to your own ideas."
Heidan bowed his head and gave a grace. He actually wanted to say that he didn't feel bad about that woman's appearance, nor did he want to recognize her. He wanted to call Jiahui "Mom", but he couldn't open his mouth until the end.
