"Feng Xiao, I have to go to work in the afternoon and can't drink. Is that the same for you?" He then came to ask me.
I nodded.
"Feng Xiao, actually you don't know, I once liked her. When I was in middle school, my family was very poor. I wanted to like her but didn't dare. Later, I heard that her man treated her like that, so we found an opportunity to date her.
I asked her to come out, and I said to her, you can get a divorce, and I will get a divorce too. But she didn't agree. Feng Xiao, you are so happy, why don't you cherish it so much?" He then said to me with a gloomy tone.
I was a little surprised, but I thought it was normal, because Zhao Menglei was the most beautiful female classmate in our class at that time, and we were in our adolescence at that time. Isn’t it precisely because of that that I have always liked her? Now
, I felt even more uncomfortable when I heard Kang Demao's reproachful tone, "Yeah. I'm such a bastard, why don't I know how to cherish it?"
"Feng Xiao, tell me, how did she commit suicide? Why did she commit suicide? Didn't you say that she initiated the divorce herself? In that case, why did she commit suicide?" he asked me.
I was in a terrible mood, and then told her the whole thing intermittently. Of course, I didn't talk about Lin Yi, nor about my marriage to Chen Yuan. I just said that Zhao Menglei proposed divorce twice and agreed.
"That man deserves to die. But what Zhao Menglei did was too extreme. She can definitely solve it through legal means. You can also help her, right?" He sighed.
I was silent because I suddenly remembered my escape attitude. Now I am thinking, if Zhao Menglei had asked me to help her divorce her ex-husband, would I have done it? I am not sure.
"Feng Xiao, let me tell you something about myself." He glanced at me and then said, "Let me talk about Teacher Kang first. In fact, there was one thing he did too much in high school, that matter
You all don’t know. Didn’t I live on campus at that time? Our rural classmates all lived on campus. One day I was supposed to clean the dormitory, but I forgot because I wanted to go to college. I know, like me
Coming from a family where the only way out is to go to college, I work harder than other classmates. I know that teachers and many classmates look down on me because everyone thinks my family is too poor..."
"No. Didn't everyone donate to you privately at that time?" I said.
He shook his head, "Maybe you don't look down on me. But I know it myself, because I can see it from the eyes of my classmates and teachers. So I have low self-esteem, and the result of low self-esteem is often arrogance and rebellion. After all, I
My grades are among the top in the class. You know this. That time I forgot to do the cleaning. Teacher Kang checked me and he came to criticize me. I was very upset at the time because I found that I still had a lot of
I didn't understand a math problem, so I ignored him, and he got angry. Feng Xiao, do you know what he did next? He, he actually picked up my quilt from my bed and wiped the floor!
You don’t know, I almost punched him in the face! But I held back, not because I was afraid of him, nor because he was my teacher, but because I told myself: Kang Demao, you must
You have to hold back, if you punch out, your life will be over. You will not be able to get into college or get ahead. I really held back, and just watched him do that quietly, and then quietly
I watched him leave angrily in silence. Later, when I was admitted to college, until I started working and then until I was admitted to graduate school, I always hated him in my heart. Not long ago, I went back to my hometown and accidentally heard that he was suffering from
He got a brain tumor. I don’t know what caused it. I immediately felt that he was very pitiful. Although I still hated him, I felt that he was so pitiful that he was not worthy of my hatred. His wife is from the countryside and he has two other children.
My child is in college. After years of hard work, he finally became the vice president of our alma mater. However, less than half a year after he became the vice president, he discovered that he had a tumor in his head. Although I am not a doctor, I know that he will not die even after the operation.
He will not return to his normal state. Feng Xiao, why should I hate him? Besides, I am now a cadre of the Organization Department, and I also want to test whether I can be disciplined and learn how to do it.
To forget the harm others have done to me. I know that if I want to achieve great development in the future, I must do this, and I must do it.”
After he said so much, I began to be moved. Suddenly, I seemed to think of something, so I asked him with a smile: "You returned to your hometown to work after graduating from college, right?"
"Yes." he replied.
"Congratulations." I said to him with a smile.
"What do you mean?" he asked me in surprise.
"The organization is going to promote you recently, right? Are you being inspected recently?" I asked him meaningfully.
He looked at me, laughed after a while, and then sighed: "You are really smart. Feng Xiao, I underestimated you."
Maybe Song Mei had influenced me, so I suddenly thought of this: his purpose of doing this was not just to show self-cultivation, nor was it because of sympathy, but for the immediate inspection. He did this
It will definitely bring an excellent reputation in the places where he has worked. His character of repaying evil with kindness will always be praised by others.
From this, I can now know that the person in front of me will have a bright future in the future.
However, I still don't quite understand one thing, "Old classmate, what do these things you mentioned have to do with me and Zhao Menglei?"
He shook his head, "It doesn't matter. Because I haven't finished telling my story yet. I studied agriculture in college, and after graduation I was assigned to work in the Agricultural Bureau in my hometown. I fell in love and got married like everyone else. I thought I would be like that for the rest of my life.
But who knew something happened later. My wife actually committed adultery with one of her classmates. I was extremely ashamed and humiliated by that incident, but I pretended not to know anything. And it was precisely this that made me have
The plan to take the postgraduate entrance examination. It was in the year when I was admitted to the postgraduate entrance examination that I proposed to divorce her. Feng Xiao, do you know why I didn’t propose to divorce her from the beginning? Because I didn’t know whether I could
I was admitted to graduate school because I didn't dare to bear a bigger blow. During my graduate school period, I used my spare time to do business and ended up making a lot of money. So I used the money I earned to stay in the province.
I know that in today’s society, nothing can be done without money. Look at me now, I have everything, everything is going well, I am remarried, and I have children. In fact, do you know? In my heart, I have always been
I have never really loved these two women. What I really like is Zhao Menglei. Feng Xiao, do you know? Although we were still very hazy emotionally when we were in high school, our emotions at that time were the most unforgettable. You
You are so lucky, you got her, but you gave up so easily. So, I really want to beat you now. Hey! She is gone, so that’s good, so that I don’t still miss her in my heart.
.Feng Xiao, do you think it’s boring and inexplicable that I’m telling you these things? In fact, you don’t know, these words in my heart have always been boring in my heart, and I didn’t say them out for the first time until today. You are my classmate,
And she was Zhao Menglei’s former husband, so I’m telling you this. Because she just left this world, I thought, maybe her soul is not far from you, and maybe she can hear what I said.
"
I was stunned for a moment. After a while, I sighed: "Demao, you don't look like someone who is going to be an official soon. You have the same emotions as me."
He shook his head, "Maybe. But starting from today, I will never be like this again. Feng Xiao, in fact, there is no right or wrong in some things, everything is fate. Don't blame yourself too much. Today I
I'm very happy to finally meet your old classmate here. By the way, I also heard that Ouyang Tong is back, have you seen him? I found his number, but it was empty. "
I was startled and then said, "I've never seen it before."
"You can't drink at noon today, and you have to work the night shift tonight. How about we drink together tomorrow night? Anyway, you are in a bad mood recently." He then said, "I also want to take time to talk to you about Zhao Menglei.
.By the way, Feng Xiao, you won’t be angry, right?”
I shook my head, "Actually, I really wanted to know more about her. But what you know is so limited. You're right, I don't cherish her too much. It's too late to regret now."
"The matter has already passed, and there is no point in thinking about it anymore." He said, "Of course, you are her former husband. If you really want to know about her, you should go to her parents."
I shook my head, "I don't dare to go."
He looked at the time and said, "Okay, let's finish our meal as soon as possible. I won't be able to see you off for a while. I have a meeting in the afternoon and I don't have time."
"It's okay." I said, "See you tomorrow. But I have to treat you."
He looked at me and smiled weirdly. I asked him, "Why are you looking at me like this?"
"Can you ask some nurses to come out for a drink tomorrow night?" he asked me, still smiling strangely.
Now it was my turn to be surprised, "You'd better not do that. You can ask for a cadre to be promoted immediately."
"It doesn't matter. Just eat and drink. Feng Xiao, maybe there is a way to make you feel better. That is drinking. Drinking with beautiful women." He said with a smile.
I shook my head, "I'm scared of women now, and I don't want to mess with them anymore."
"Oh? You've had a lot before. Hey! It's not worth it for Zhao Menglei to find you. I understand, you must think that she is getting married for the second time, so you pursue balance. Is that so? Feng Xiao, we are classmates
, so I don’t have to worry about what I say.”
"You're right." I sighed.
"I've been holding back so much recently. My nerves have been tense. You can find a way to call some beauties out tomorrow so that I can relax," he said. (To be continued)
