Zheng Xiaoyi was stunned for a moment, then started laughing like a self-mockery.
"Sister, look at me! Haha! I keep saying that I have confidence in him and believe that he is a man who will never mess around! Alas~~ Actually, in the final analysis, it is still me...I..." "I have no confidence in myself.
confidence?"
Xue Ling raised her eyebrows and asked with a smile.
Zheng Xiaoyi glanced at her and said coquettishly: "Sister, you are too smart! No, why are you so powerful? You hit my heart with one word! It hurts my heart!"
Xue Ling laughed and patted the back of her hand.
"What's wrong?
As you get older, do you feel that you are old and faded, and no longer as good as those of the younger generation?"
Zheng Xiaoyi smiled bitterly: "That girl is very good-looking and very attractive.
The key is - she is younger than me!"
Xue Ling couldn't help laughing again and asked: "Ah Huan is more than ten years older than you, and he still has people chasing after you. You are younger than him, but you don't have confidence?
As for that?"
Zheng Xiaoyi curled his lips: "There's nothing I can do about it, he seems to have looked the same the past ten years or so.
They have similar bodies and looks, and they are still so mature and stable, and they don't seem to have aged much.
I'm different! I used to be young and beautiful, but now I'm a middle-aged aunt.
My belly started to get bigger and I couldn't wear beautiful and slim pants anymore, so I had to wear skirts or rubber pants, otherwise I couldn't cover the fat on my waist.
The skin on my face is no longer as tight as before and has become loose and loose. I sometimes dare not look at myself in the mirror after washing my face."
When I was young and beautiful, I was busy studying, working, and having a family every day.
After finally having some free time, I found that I was no longer young and my condition was not as good as before.
On the other hand, my husband, who was sleeping next to me, was not out of shape, and his appearance was similar. He still looked gentle and elegant.
It’s better not to care, but to feel sad! Xue Ling squinted his eyes and asked funnyly: “Do you think others will never grow old?
Fool! Am I not the same?
Who has never been young?
Who hasn’t been beautiful?
But children will grow up, old people will grow old, and we will naturally start to age.
Don't believe in anti-aging words, and don't believe in anyone who can stay young forever. Those are just advertisements for cosmetics and skin care products, words to make women happy.
No one can avoid it if we face it calmly."
Zheng Xiaoyi was still a little aggrieved and whispered: "Why do I feel that Ah Huan is almost the same..." "Who said that?"
Xue Ling explained humorously: "He has also aged a bit, but you face him every day and don't notice much.
In addition, middle-aged men who know how to take care of themselves are indeed more resistant than us."
"yes!"
Zheng Xiaoyi said depressedly: "Obviously they are so many years apart, but they look almost the same.
Last time we went shopping together, one of the store clerks even guessed that I was older than him!"
"That's because they don't have to carry a baby to have a baby."
Xue Ling sighed helplessly: "When my children were young, I stayed up late every now and then. It was really hard not to stay up! At that time, you had to go to school and work, and take care of your family and children. You were so busy every day.
You are busy and I am busy. We are neighbors who live together. If we don't make an appointment to have dinner together in advance, there is almost no chance of meeting each other. Do you remember?"
Zheng Xiaoyi smiled bitterly and laughed: "Remember, remember.
I don’t dare to think about those days when the sky was dark and the earth was dark – it was so terrifying!”
Xue Ling sighed: "A woman's youth and youth cannot withstand the torment of her children.
When you become a mother, unless you don't care about your children, you will have endless work to do every day, and there will be endless things to do every day, so you will never be able to take any time off.
When your children are finally older now, you can finally take a breather, but more than ten years have passed and you are already at an age where you are not confused."
"yes!"
Zheng Xiaoyi hugged her arm and leaned on her shoulder: "Sister, it feels so comfortable and good to chat with you! You are from here, you are older than me, smarter and wiser than me, so you can always say it at once
Come into my heart."
Xue Ling smiled fondly: "I finally said the right thing - because I have been here before!"
Zheng Xiaoyi let out a long "Hey" and couldn't help but ask: "Sister, have you noticed that we women really work hard?"
"have."
Xue Ling nodded: "Good women work harder than good men, good mothers work harder than good fathers, and women who have to work and take care of the family work harder than men."
Zheng Xiaoyi whined twice, as if sighing and feeling helpless.
"Being a good woman, a good mother and a strong woman... is really, really difficult.
Thanks to the good foundation given by my father-in-law and mother-in-law, he also started working earlier than me. When we got married, we already had a car and a house.
But despite this, I still feel that life is very hard, especially when my children were young, it was busy, chaotic and depressing.
Looking back now, I don’t know how I survived.”
Xue Ling chuckled: "Aren't you already over it?
I am a little luckier than you. When I was vigorously developing my career, my children were still young.
Ah Yuan is willing to give up the opportunity to achieve his great ambitions and focus most of his attention on his family, so that I don’t have any worries.
He made sacrifices to help me and our family."
"Um."
Zheng Xiaoyi nodded in agreement: "Brother-in-law is indeed great.
On the contrary, when I graduated and started working, he was already the chief physician and was soon promoted to the level of deputy director.
At that time, the pharmaceutical group was also in the development stage, and he was often unable to go home for days and nights.
If a child relies on him, he doesn't know if he will grow up.
For the sake of my family, I have to weaken my career."
Xue Ling sighed: "It's all sacrifice.
This is what a family is like. Without dedication and sacrifice, the family cannot function at all, and in the end it will only be broken up.
If we can understand each other, feel sorry for each other and care about each other's efforts, you give some, I give some, no matter how much, then the family can be harmonious and happy.
Every home is made by many people and is not easy to build.”
"Sister, your children are grown up now, and your financial situation is so good."
Zheng Xiaoyi smiled and asked: "There should be no regrets, right?
I can finally have some leisure time.”
Xue Ling raised her eyebrows and replied: "I don't think so, I'm still very busy every day.
There are old people at the top, young people at the bottom, and little ones at the bottom. There is no free time at all.
Don't think that people with good financial conditions can live a comfortable and relaxed life.
Everyone suffers, but his suffering may be different from yours, in different ways.”
Zheng Xiaoyi couldn't help but mutter: "I...I have always envied you."
"Yeah?"
Xue Ling smiled half-heartedly: "Actually, I also envy you.
I envy you that you have older brothers and younger brothers. You are much luckier than me, an only child.
I envy you for quitting your job freely and working together with the one you love.
I also envy you that you are many years younger than me and you don’t have as many wrinkles on your face as I do.”
Zheng Xiaoyi was stunned for half a second when he heard this, then he laughed.
