Lao Tan returned to the provincial capital, and his mother's birthday was three days away.
He told Lin Yan: "It's Mom's birthday, Jiaheng and I will go back."
"How many days will you be back? Jiaheng is still training." Lin Yan said.
"Let him take five days off, come back after celebrating Mom's birthday, and then come back during the Chinese New Year," Lao Tan said.
Lin Yan objected to Lao Tan's opinion and said, "Why are you going back and forth? You go back to celebrate his grandma's birthday, and you go back during the Chinese New Year."
Lao Tan was a little angry, but he didn't have an attack. He asked: "How many days off do you have during the Chinese New Year?"
"It's time to go to work on the third day of junior high school." Lin Yan said, "Don't wait for me, I can't go back."
"What I mean is that our family of three will go back to celebrate the New Year. It will look better this way." Lao Tan said.
"Didn't I tell you? I'm on holiday in my thirties and can't go back." Lin Yan was a little impatient and asked, "We have to go back together. Can't you and your son go back?"
Lao Tan said: "Why don't we leave you alone?"
Lin Yan said: "Don't worry about me, I'll go back to my mother's place."
Lao Tan had the urge to hit someone, but he resisted, thought for a while, and said, "How about the three of us go back together to celebrate my mother's birthday, come back after the birthday, and celebrate the New Year in the provincial capital, do you think this will work?"
Lin Yan was completely impatient and said, "You can arrange it however you like. I can't go back if I can't take leave." After saying that, she stopped talking to Lao Tan and went back to the house.
Old Tan sat on the sofa in frustration for a while, wanting to smoke, but once he thought about smoking and quarreling, he gave up.
His son was coming back from training soon. He got up and went to the kitchen. He opened the freezer and saw that there was quite a lot of meat and vegetables inside, so he started cooking. When the meal was almost ready, his son came back and the atmosphere at home was better.
During the meal, Lin Yan told her son that she asked for leave from the coach and asked him to go back to celebrate her grandma's birthday. The son was very happy and asked her if she would go, but she said no.
"You and your dad go back. The coach gives you four days off. Come back and continue training. You will have a competition after the New Year." Lin Yan said.
"I know, it's B14 for the whole province." said the son.
"What B14?" Lao Tan asked.
"You are not allowed to be over fourteen years old, and I am just right." His son Jiaheng explained to Lao Tan.
"What position do you play?" Lao Tan asked.
"Small forward."
"how do you feel?"
"Okay."
Lao Tan looked at his son. His son was already taller than him. He was not like a teenager, but like a big boy.
Lin Yan said to Lao Tan: "Call him back after his grandma's birthday. You stay at home for a few more days to accompany the old lady."
Lao Tan said nothing.
Lin Yan continued: "My work unit is busy and I don't have time off. Jiaheng still has to train. We are a family of three celebrating the New Year at home. I won't go back to my mother's house."
Lao Tan thought for a while and said: "Okay."
It is impossible for a family of three to go home to celebrate the New Year, so this old man compromised. My mother lives with the fifth sister, who has her father-in-law and mother-in-law, and there is a big family. It is lively but also inconvenient for the three of my family to go back to celebrate the New Year. On normal days, I have to go back more often.
It's better to go there.
He thought this to comfort himself. He knew that if he persisted, it would be a quarrel. In the end, this would be the result, and it was unnecessary.
Can we sit down and have a good talk calmly? It seems impossible. It goes as Wang Shulan said: It takes less than a day to freeze three feet.
After eating, Lin Yan put away the dishes and returned to the living room. She saw Lao Tan drinking Chinese medicine and asked how he was doing. Lao Tan said he had a stomach problem and needed to take care of himself. Lin Yan didn't ask any more questions and prepared to go back to the house.
He stopped at the door, turned around and said, "Drink less. If you can't do it, just quit."
Lao Tan hummed.
"You don't know what you are like? No one cares about you. Don't drink when you go back, and take your medicine with you."
"Um."
"I'm telling you to take care of yourself. My son is just in junior high school. If he is sick, he should be treated immediately. Don't wait until he gets sick." Lin Yan said. The implication is that no one will take care of you when you are seriously ill. How about you?
I have a minor son.
Lao Tan was angry, glanced at Lin Yan, and said, "Are we still a couple?"
"No." Lin Yan said firmly.
"Okay, we're not a couple."
"Didn't I tell you earlier? You live your life, I live mine, no one cares about anyone else." After Lin Yan finished speaking, she was about to enter the house.
"Do you think this is interesting?" Lao Tan asked in a higher tone without suppressing his anger.
"It doesn't matter if it's interesting or not, that's what I want. Don't think that I don't know what you are doing outside, just because you don't want to talk about it---Okay, I don't want to argue with you, I'm going to bed."
Lin Yan entered the house and Lao Tan stood there for a long time.
Half a day——
To be honest, he didn't even know what he was thinking there.
It's right to say that he has a guilty conscience, because the scene with Wang Shulan and the scene with Zhang Li did appear in front of him, and these all really happened.
As a man with a family and a career, these things are irresponsible and are indeed cheating. Don't look for excuses. No matter what your wife treats you, you will be sorry for her if you do this.
He wondered if Lin Yan had done anything sorry for him? This idea was rejected as soon as it came up. He said in his heart: No, she won't, she only has her son and family in her heart, her son is everything to her, she has no thoughts
Spend it on other men.
Also, she's not beautiful, she's just an ordinary person, thrown into a crowd and no one notices her. She's a female, and her work is crazier than men, who would like her?
Besides, she didn't have time. She had to go to work all day in the morning and go home after get off work to take care of her children, so she had no chance at all.
He wanted to think more, but he shuddered involuntarily.
Is it right to think of your own wife this way?
I have a woman outside, and I feel guilty. I wonder if my wife has a man outside. Is it human to find a psychological balance?
Is it a human?
This was the first time that he had to dig deep into his heart because of the matter between husband and wife. To be honest, he was a little scared - when did he become so nasty? He doubted whether his wife was someone outside or not.
He asked himself, but didn't dare to answer------
Lin Yan has never gone out of line. If she had, she would not be like this.
And myself------
If you don't want others to know, don't do anything except yourself.
Lao Tan suddenly became weak, as limp as if he had been cramped, and returned to his room feebly.
There is a bed and a desk in the room. There is a computer and a teapot on the desk.
He sat down at the desk, very weak, and the scenes of Wang Shulan and Zhang Li were replayed in his head------
Each of them is more beautiful, gentle, and considerate than Lin Yan, and they have something to do with her, but ------ they can't replace Lin Yan. Although I can't explain why, they can't replace her.
Do you still have love with Lin Yan?
It seems that he has disappeared a long time ago and is a stranger, but why does it feel like this is a home every time when she is around when he comes back, but feels empty when she is not around?
When she is here, sleeping in a separate room is angry but at ease; when she is not there, she is ambiguous but flustered while holding a beautiful woman in her arms.
