When he finally got the answer, Zhang Haidong no longer felt anything.
Because this result is inevitable.
"that……"
Liu Shan coughed on the other end of the phone, and then said: "Brother Dong, aren't you taking a break these days? How about we go out to a restaurant and have a drink. Have a nice drink and talk about what's on your mind.
.I finally breathed the fresh and free air, and I have a lot to say.”
"No. I'm not in a good mood. Let's talk about it when we have time."
Zhang Haidong refused.
"..."
"Brother Dong, although Bai Yourong and I are divorced, we are still brothers. No matter what, the friendship over the years cannot be broken..."
"I did not mean that!"
Zhang Haidong interrupted him.
"I'm in a really bad mood today. I probably got drunk as soon as I drank. I don't know why, but I can't bring up any interest in doing anything right now. Let me take it easy first. Wait for a while, and then I'll do it again after a while.
Just find some time to drink. By the way, where are you going after you leave the house? Are you still staying in Huang Wenying's dormitory?"
Zhang Haidong asked rhetorically.
"No, live in their house. Her mother is not in good health, so I can take care of her mother by moving in. Let's do this for the time being, we still have to wait. When the time is right, we will get married."
Liu Shan said.
"you……"
Zhang Haidong originally wanted to ask, is there any difference between taking care of Huang Wenying's mother and taking care of Bai Yourong's mother and daughter?
Aren’t they all caring for people?
But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them again.
The matter has come to this, any more words will only lead to quarrels.
Then he said softly: "Okay. We must get along well. When you two get married, I will toast you two a wedding wine."
"OK."
Liu Shan responded.
The two were speechless and hung up the phone.
…
Zhang Haidong threw his phone aside and sat on the bed boredly.
Time seemed to be fixed. After the landlord, Sister Yin, sent her daughter back, the quiet home finally became active.
The daughter pestered Zhang Haidong to fulfill his promise, and Zhang Haidong kept telling his daughter more than a dozen stories.
The sky outside the window gradually became dark.
After telling the story of the frog prince and princess, Zhang Haidong finally coaxed his daughter and let her stay by herself for a while.
Then he turned around and went into the kitchen and started cooking.
When Du Jing walked in, there were four freshly fried dishes on the table, exuding an alluring aroma.
"Mom, Dad told me many stories!"
Qianqian rushed into Du Jing's arms and said.
"Really? That's great! Your dad loves you the most, and he still has a lot of stories in his belly. Your dad is at home these days. When you come back from school, let your dad tell you stories, okay? Wait.
In the past few days, your father will have to go to work again and start to be busy."
Du Jing pinched her daughter's little face and said dotingly.
"Yeah. Mom, I'll tell you quietly later."
The daughter said obediently.
"Okay. Let's eat first. Mom will listen to your story later."
After giving her daughter a kiss and placing her on the table, Du Jing entered the bathroom.
After washing her hands and coming out, she was so sensitive that she saw Zhang Haidong's expression.
She understood something and didn't ask.
The family of three finished their dinner peacefully.
Zhang Haidong washed the dishes silently and then entered the bedroom.
Du Jing was listening to her daughter telling her the story Zhang Haidong told her on the small bed outside.
After she listened to her daughter stuttering and finishing the third story, she touched her daughter's head and said, "Okay, you told it very well! Mom loves to hear it! When you go to school, you can also talk to her.
Tell this story to other children, then everyone will like you. Mommy has gone back to the house to sleep, and she has to go to work tomorrow. Be good, honey. You go to bed early too."
"Well! Thank you for your hard work, Mom."
Qianqian nodded, lay down in bed obediently, and hugged her Snow White.
Du Jing covered her daughter with a quilt and then entered the house.
Looking at Zhang Haidong who was lying on the bed staring at the ceiling, she gently got into the bed and put her face up.
"What's wrong? Are you still so unhappy?"
Du Jing asked.
"No way? I'm just thinking about life. Thinking about the origin of the universe, thinking about the mystery of life..."
Zhang Haidong argued.
"Good guy, if I give you a little more time, a philosopher will be born in our family!"
Du Jing smiled and put her hand into Zhang Haidong's creaking hole.
Zhang Haidong felt itchy and reached out to fight back.
The two of them were arguing for a while, and then Du Jing said: "Okay, don't be sad about Liu Shan and Bai Yourong anymore. Since you can't change the outcome, it's better to let them deal with it on their own and finish the relationship together."
After a while, maybe one day in the future I think about it and will we get back together? After all, we once fell in love with each other."
complex?
The probability of compounding should be zero!
"Already divorced..."
"What?"
Du Jing's eyes widened.
He looked at Zhang Haidong in disbelief.
"They have divorced? Is this... so soon?"
"Yes! Liu Shan didn't want to delay any longer, so he gave Bai Yourong an ultimatum early this morning and printed out the divorce agreement for her to sign. I woke up at noon and received a call from Liu Shan.
The divorce agreement has been signed. I should go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get the divorce certificate in the afternoon."
Zhang Haidong explained.
"this……"
Du Jing was shocked for a long time, and finally she choked out a sentence: "Bai Yourong is so pitiful."
This should be what she said subconsciously.
Zhang Haidong thinks so too.
"How is she doing? Is her mood still stable? She won't collapse. How about I call her and comfort her? I am also a woman, so we should be able to speak in common."
Du Jing said worriedly.
"She didn't break down. I tried to persuade her today. She calmed down after venting her anger. She should be able to survive it."
Zhang Haidong explained.
"That's good. In fact, Bai Yourong is still too stupid. She has not experienced the baptism of society, so she gave everything she had and placed all her hopes on the other person.
In fact, what the old man said is right, being close is enough to leave oneself alone.
It makes sense to stay away from others when you are close enough. It means that if you go too close to each other, your fate will inevitably end early.
Your own infinite care and dedication can only make the other person feel good at first.
But people like the new and hate the old. Once they get tired of it over time, their true colors will show.
Therefore, working hard to improve yourself is the real skill.
If Bai Yourong had not been so anxious about getting married after graduation, but had gone to work with peace of mind and left the children to her parents-in-law, the situation would have been much better.
In this way, after she has a focus on work, she will not put all her thoughts on home. At least Liu Shan will not feel such a strong sense of shackles, and naturally he will not be bored or abandon her.
Even if I give up, I will be able to get out soon because I have a job."
Du Jing explained carefully.
These words made Zhang Haidong call him an expert.
Yes.
Times have changed.
Today is no longer the feudal society in the past where men were the masters of the outside world and women were the masters of the house.
What we advocate now is freedom and equality for all.
Everyone needs their own independent space.
Although everyone's life is very stressful, it does not hinder the determination to pursue freedom at all.
No one wants to be tied down.
Therefore, both men and women are working hard.
On the one hand, for life.
On the other hand, for freedom and independence.
If Bai Yourong could delay for a few years and experience more social baptism before getting married, it might be much better than now.
In that case, she has her own independent life.
Liu Shan will not be oppressed like now.
Just like a bow that is stretched tightly, if it is too tight, the string will break easily.
Maybe that string was broken when she and Liu Shan got to where they are today.
Thinking of this, Zhang Haidong nodded.
"Well. It's a pity that there are no ifs in life, and everything can't be repeated again. She is just too dedicated and too simple. She thinks of love too idealistically. She is as perfect and boring as a couple of gods. But gods
We don’t need to eat, but our life is just firewood, rice, oil and salt.”
Zhang Haidong sighed.
"There is no way, the weaker party in love can only accept this result.
Chiang Kai-shek planted sycamore trees all over Nanjing just because Soong Meiling liked them.
Charlotte traded a Ferrari for a car of sunflowers just because Ma Dongmei liked it.
Lu Xinghe's 56 proposals were no match for Yu Huai's words, "I'm late."
Why isn't there a second season of SpongeBob SquarePants?
Because Spongebob's voice acting is dead.
Why doesn't Doraemon have a finale?
Because Big Bear is unwilling to accept the fact that there is no Doraemon.
If you pay out of wishful thinking, you can only be willing to admit defeat.
Have you ever seen anyone let go of love? Husband."
Du Jing finished speaking in one breath.
Zhang Haidong gritted his teeth and realized that this seemed to be the case.
Wishful thinking requires you to be willing to admit defeat.
Bet that the other party's feelings are deep enough...
Bet that the other party is willing to come back...
But there is no such easy way to win a bet in this world.
If you lose, you will be completely defeated.
Zhang Haidong took a breath and said: "Hey, I can only hope that she can get out of the quagmire soon."
"Hmm. By the way, husband, how is their property divided? Each person has half?"
Du Jing asked again.
"Liu Shan has left the house. Including the money we borrowed, all will be returned to Bai Yourong. As for him, he is already living with Huang Wenying. Maybe in the near future, we will be able to drink their wedding wine
Already."
Zhang Haidong explained.
"Okay. I wish them happiness."
Du Jing also stopped talking.
…
It was late at night, and the stars were dotted and filled the entire earth.
In the small room, only the slight snoring of the two people could be heard.
…
In the blink of an eye, another four days passed. Zhang Haidong did not contact Liu Shan or Bai Yourong. He just lived a repetitive life, picking up and dropping off his daughter, and cooking for Du Jing.
It would be nice to have such an ordinary day.
Finally, on New Year's Day, when it was time to pay wages, Zhang Haidong got up early and prepared to collect his wages after sending his daughter off.
He didn't know how much he could give out, but he must give some back to Bai Yourong first.
