"Hua Nan, don't turn on the faucet so much, it's a waste, you really don't know how to keep a house";
"Hua Nan, how can you pour the water for washing vegetables, don't you have a bucket of stagnant water in the toilet? Hoard up and flush the toilet, can save a lot of water bills."
This early in the morning, the mother-in-law in Huainan's ear rambling, looking at that one mouth, Huainan feel like a witch's spell, he has collapsed.
When she finished her work, she didn't want to wait a second to send her daughter to kindergarten, and she was so relieved to get out of the house that she felt like she had escaped from hell.
Watching his daughter say goodbye to him and hop into the school, the smile on his face instantly collapsed.
Yuyu can not lift the spirit, not to mention do not want to go home, aimless actually strolled to the park, a group of energetic women joyfully twirling to the music.
Through such a lively crowd, actually still feel powerless cold, obviously young body, but like into the twilight of the spirit of no gas. I found a seat at random, looking through the leaves of the tree dappled in the sun at their feet, thoughts slowly drifting away.
"Huanan, going to play ping-pong?"
"Yes."
Two youthful and energetic girls chased each other all the way to the ballroom, and the slightly fat but cheerful one was Huainan's classmate, Huoyue, whose round face always had a smile on it.
Hua Nan's character is quiet, exquisite palm face is a pair of big eyes, high nose, small delicate lips, with Jiangnan women's unique soft voice.
In this less female and more male polytechnic school not to say the school flower, at least is the class flower level, the ballroom with the appearance of Hua Nan, the naked eye can be seen boiled, from the boys more fancy dunking can be seen.
Hua Nan did not like the crowd, pulling the table towards the back of the walk, because came earlier behind the ball table are empty, the two did not say too much, finishing towards their respective positions.
An hour passed before I realized it, and in the meantime the table was going to buy a drink, and Hwa-Nam was cleaning their rackets in the lounge area.
"Hello classmate, I'm Hui, the vice-captain of the table tennis team, I see you guys are playing well, are you interested in joining our team?"
Hua Nan looked up in surprise, the two people in front of her, of course she knew them, these two are the soul mainstay of the department team, not only good ball player, but also good-looking, themselves and their tablemates have also quietly discussed them in private, thinking about it, "I can't decide by myself, wait for my tablemates to come back to discuss it, okay?"
When Huo Yue came back to see his table was surrounded by two handsome left and right, one of them is gesticulating with the table, the other on the handsome high and cold surrounded, as if things do not matter isolate two meters eight chilled aura.
Hua Nan saw the lotus month back to the face of a confused look, on a simple explanation, lotus month is not so-called to participate in, but associated with their own table privately chatting about the two dudes when the shyness, today this Chu Chu moving expression, "good ah, on the participation of the chant, just when to see a little bit," the lotus moon boldly agreed to the.
With the addition of the two, the team's attendance rate climbed significantly, everyone likes to look for girls to practice, especially South China, the boys eyeing all kinds of attentiveness, and even the vice-captain Hui is also particularly eager to guide.
Since the beginning of practice, Huanan has never come down from her position, but it is the opposite of the male players have changed one after another.
"I'll play a game with you," said the low, careless voice, the iceberg captain Yu, who had made the girls in the gym crushing on him, had become Huanan's new rival, and the two of them were able to play at least ten rounds with one ball, with you catching and blocking each other.
But careful people will find that Yu has been letting Hua Nan, constantly feeding the ball to each other in order to be so harmonious, while playing the guidance, how to catch and hit the topspin ball and downspin ball, coupled with the Hua Nan really talented, do not realize that after the meal, the ball club people are dispersed, the two stepped on the moonlight, all the way to the silent but full tacit understanding of the pace envied a lot of girls.
Because the same table to be busy with student affairs, gradually less to go to the ballroom, South China, rain or shine, every time like an appointment only with Yu partner, the ballroom of other boys also know difficult to retreat, the two tacit understanding of the cooperation in the feelings of the rapid warming.
By the time Holly came back, Huanan and Yu had already been paired up, and their skills had risen by more than one level. Holly reminded her to be more observant, but Huanan, who was in the honeymoon period of love, turned a deaf ear, and the most mundane days of her love affair were the best scenery, and all the arrangements were just right.
But as time goes by, Huainan found that Yu's possessiveness is particularly strong, a little contact with the opposite sex will lead to Yu's displeasure, every time is Huainan again and again to explain, in order to dispel Yu's misgivings.
Sometimes even the boys in the same class also try not to contact more, this contradiction is growing, the two people gradually produce differences, but the campus pure love let the two people divided into a few also did not want to leave each other eventually.
Turning to their respective graduation, separated from the two, the control of the two, so that the Yu suspicion, the slightest breeze on the big move, when the transportation is not now so developed, Yu even went out of their way to backtrack countless trips, just to verify their own conjecture.
Such behavior seriously interferes with the work and life of Huainan, feelings of the most taboo distrust so that Huainan bitter, once the feelings of all consumed, Yu a variety of means also did not retain the dead heart of Huainan, once the enviable feelings of the final parting of the ways.
The end of the relationship of the Hua Nan devote themselves to work, slowly out of the shadow.
Being a beautiful and quiet girl who can sing and dance well, Hua Nan has been a beautiful figure in all kinds of cultural and artistic activities in the company, and she is the most beautiful flower in the company!
On behalf of the company's fellowship performance, with the same host of the department manager Chen Yang cooperation, Chen Yang has long been interested in the South China, the end of the event, the South China to launch a fierce pursuit, life on the warmth of warmth, the work of the guidance of the support of the heart, the most critical is that the Chen Yang is also a gentleman, funny, the South China to observe carefully, so different Yu bound love opened the South China's heart, and ultimately embraced a beautiful woman.
Chen Yang sunny and confident, always able to give a lot of advice to Huainan, and more importantly, give Huainan free space, for this relationship Huainan cherish, the two sides have met parents, once ready to talk about marriage.
When we feel that life is like this all the time, there will always be a twist of the blood, and we can't help but serve and not serve.
Chen Yang National Day to participate in the reunion of classmates accidentally met his ex-girlfriend, the two old feelings rekindled, the ex-girlfriend pregnant, a sudden change of events smashed clueless Huanan, Chen Yang's gentlemanly humor is not only for themselves, but also can give other women iron.
The fact that even if all the reluctance, can only helplessly and tearfully end the relationship, by the great trauma of the Huainan initiative to apply for transfer to the provinces project, no longer dare to touch the love.
Time flies, two or three years have passed, around the classmates, girlfriends, friends one after another to have a family, Huainan around the suitor is not no, but she is not moved, which can be worried about the parents at home, phone bombing.
Home on the seven aunts and aunts to take turns to preach, scared Hua Nan to work as a reason not to go home, not to go home, the phone can be brief on the brief.
This slip of time is really fast girlfriends children can run all over the place, parents at home are already old, their age is getting longer and longer, no choice should be arranged at home to start dating.
A round of rounds down, Hua Nan also did not phase in who, handsome, smooth-talking, rich and smug, I do not know whether it is Hua Nan once bitten by the snake ten years afraid of the illusion of the well rope, always in the matchmaking object to find the shadow of the Yu and Chen Yang, which more and more so that the despair of the Hua Nan and the fear of the future.
The more the family urges the tighter, just to meet the current husband Li Hang, Li Hang engaged in the IT industry, although not handsome, wins in the temperament is good, to deal with the world in a relaxed manner, there is a stable job, but also really not pompous.
The family has a car and a house, although it is an only child, but his parents also have a pension, Huanan really tired, the left is not married, Li Hang gave her a solid and stable feeling, the conditions are almost the same on the fixed.
Li Hang did not think he could actually marry Huainan, want to win the lottery as a surprise.
The Huainan since a thousand obedience, the days after the wedding, the two are honey, because there are no children, did not live with the in-laws, usually go to work, from work, Li Hang with Huainan a family of food to try, the holidays can also be a short trip to travel with the Huainan is quite satisfied with this kind of life.
The second year of marriage, Hua Nan was pregnant, Li Hang happy, rushed to the in-laws to take care of life.
The mother-in-law is a good steward of the day, saying that she can't afford to miss out on her grandson's nutrients.
More often than not, Huanan was a little upset and complained privately to Li Hang, who always downplayed the situation, saying, "My mom is getting older, so let's give her a break, and it's not easy for an old man to take care of us. I like both boys and girls, and they are ours. Good girl, don't think too much, pregnant women have to relax."
These words sound good, carefully distinguish in fact can be seen Li Hang favoritism mother, for the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law issues, intends to not offend both sides to do the good old man, Huanan did not think about it at the moment did not care too much.
October, the birth of a baby, the couple ushered in their precious little coat, and that is when the conflict began to emerge.
The rural people most taboo incense problem, no first-born get male, mother-in-law month obviously less than the pregnancy dedicated, the child cried and rarely help coax down, and even the South China snacks are often forget, occasionally remember, but also sugar water eggs.
Only on weekends when Li Hang is at home, the mother-in-law will do her best to look, so that every time Huainan complains, Li Hang blame Huainan do not know enough, a few times against down, Huainan can be counted on to see the face of the mother-in-law, feelings of the Oscar owed to their own mother-in-law the best actor award it.
Husband Li Hang's performance is also disappointing to Huainan, previously found that his husband and mother-in-law every day on the phone, every time not to talk for an hour are not happy.
Hua Nan did not have the habit of listening to them chatting on the phone, only that this man is particularly filial, mental also secretly grateful to find a filial husband, will certainly also be good to themselves, they chat on the phone, Hua Nan consciously take a book to the study for pleasure.
Now the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for a long time to get along, the contradiction is increasingly sharp, once ignored the details, and now think carefully, are let Huainan alarmed.
It is said that thirty days good to endure a lifetime of difficult to get through, meaning a good month to benefit from a lifetime, do not do a good job can fall a lifetime of pain, Hua Nan and have to take care of the baby, and occasionally have to wash their own brush, it is not easy to get through, and then fell a lumbar rheumatism pain, a day on the change of the pain.
It is said that the monthly hatred, can remember a lifetime of hatred, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is considered to be torn face, mother-in-law even cover up the lazy, as long as Li Hang is not at home, all the chores are Huainan do, the child cried she can sit in the living room and watch the TV indifferently.
Hua Nan's heart aches, can only speed up the speed of their own housework, these are nothing, the most horrible thing is that, three meals to eat, with the mother-in-law like to buy discounted, variable price, and even give the child supplemental fruit, are picking the kind of ten yuan a big bag of discounted.
Hua Nan insisted on their own out to buy, mother-in-law and other Li Hang back on a variety of drama possessed, add oil and vinegar inverted right and wrong, if Hua Nan argued, the old lady instantly on the death of the living, every time Li Hang was heartbroken, so that the Hua Nan to let, do not stimulate the old lady, the number of times, the Hua Nan is also tired, in order to the days of peace, and do not want to be difficult to the husband to endure their own.
The child can go to kindergarten, the old man is thinking about the grandchildren, encouraging his son to have a second child, Hua Nan last month son to do still have palpitations, which dare to jump into the fire pit once again? This time said nothing to agree, good thing Li Hang did not force too much.
Because of the need to bring up the child, Huanan used his fashion expertise to sell clothes online, although the income is not so stable, but on average, enough to cover the expenses, and occasionally can also be a little bit of petty cash.
Because of the insistence on not having a second child, completely enraged the mother-in-law, even Li Hang in are often not to Huainan good face, several times Huainan heard the old lady and the neighbors nagging: "ah, yo, now the daughter-in-law ah, all do not cherish the blessing, marry our family to have a room, want a car to have a car, and do not have to go to work, all day long, good food and drink for the, give birth to a daughter on the birth of a, intentionally want to give us a daughter of the old Li family breaks the back of the yo, I'm not sure if you want to give us the best. The old Li family to break the back of yo, my God."
Hua Nan is a quiet nature of the mouth is not powerful, said but not lazy to say again, marriage is their own choice of teeth have to endure, in order to lovely daughter.
Mother-in-law see abuse can not be, and a new plan, do not let Huainan use the washing machine to wash clothes, said the washing is not clean but also easy to break, every time Huainan washing clothes, must be next to the supervision of the hair bath can not be more wash, a waste of water and electricity body wash shampoo, bath can not be opened, electricity.
How many times Huanan table side feed the child, heard the mother-in-law said: "Oops, dishes so much, can not finish pouring a pity, and now young people waste, aigoo"
Said while the dishes swept away, to be Huanan feed the child on the table, there are some left on the vegetable soup floating vegetable end, angry Huanan a bite did not eat, cleaned up dishes and garbage carrying
Just now, I'm going to go out.
Just outside the building, I heard my mother-in-law and neighbor Wang Da-ma nagging, "or the old sister great ah, your family Huainan beautiful obedience."
"That's not true, I'm also in front of the front of the mind to serve this little daughter-in-law, the back of the first look is not good, I can tell you, daughter-in-law into the door can not be spoiled, you have to cure, your family Peng is ready to get married, daughter-in-law into the door you have to grasp the big picture."
Listening to the mother-in-law smugly blah blah blah said, Hua Nan inner 10,000 speechless want to soar profanity, this who can tell her, choose a husband, not only to look at the husband, in-laws character, but also have to examine the prospective mother-in-law girlfriends group quality, Roc's wife has not yet entered the door, Hua Nan can foresee that it should not be more than their own comfort how much.
Thoughts drifted farther and farther away, the music of the square dance stopped, and the sudden silence brought Huainan back to his senses, and it turned out to be the big moms who were having fun closing up their stalls, and the bright sunlight stung the eyes of the people who couldn't open their eyes.
Previously, Hua Nan is not home, after all, the child at noon in the kindergarten, she often hide not far from home in the other side of the bar, order a coffee snacks, listening to soothing music, open the journey to earn money, which has become the most pleasant time of the day Hua Nan, but today, people are a little bit uncomfortable, the aunt came to the small abdomen vaguely swollen and painful, tangled, or go home and lie down.
Just arrived at the door of the house, actually found that the door is not closed, is ready to push the door in, heard his mother-in-law mentioned his name, Huanan hard to stop pushing the door of the action.
"Our family Hanghang really, on their own wife still can not clean up, want a second child can kill?"
Mother-in-law acerbic indignation, "Huanan this child is very good, change another daughter-in-law, our family shall not chicken dog jumping," the father-in-law said.
"Hey, who am I doing this for? You're a heartless dead old man, this family is not my support, how can it be in the sky? Who's daughter-in-law can't continue the family name, I'm telling you, if she doesn't have a child, there are plenty of people who can give us a child," the mother-in-law said in a higher voice.
"Can you live in peace? I don't know if I'm going to be able to do this, but I'm going to be able to do it," she said. The father-in-law is sensible, but he can't do anything about it.
"I just want a big grandchild, am I going too far?
The other day, I ran into a colleague of Hang Hang's, Nana, who is very fond of our son, and she called him "Auntie", which is very dear to her. I was trying to find out if she didn't mind our son divorcing her and marrying her, and I don't mind being the bad guy if Huainan doesn't want to give birth to him.
Fortunately, I left a hand, the house and car are Hang Hang pre-marital property, away from her a penny not to go, then our son's new daughter-in-law entry to me to give birth to a big grandson, I see her a second marriage without a job woman how to regret it, and the old lady fight, ginger or old hot ah"
Mother-in-law's plan and the father-in-law's dare not say, so that the Hua Nan such as falling into the ice cave, and almost did not die of anger. The mother-in-law is vicious, listen to the words, Li Hang seems to be an accomplice, helpers and ambiguous colleagues, these shocking cognitive so that Hua Nan almost can not stand!
Then turned out of the house, all the way to the usual soul of the other side of the restaurant bar, to the familiar location to sit down heart did not calm down, the boss's wife is also familiar with the old friends, see Hua Nan white face sitting wooden, thoughtful to send a cup of hot milk tea.
Hua Nan gratefully thanked her and took a sip, the warmth of the milk tea warmed up the cold limbs and internal organs a little.
This kind of marriage, is it what one wants? If the divorce, the lovely children, elderly parents and what to do? In this family, Li Hang's attitude? All of these are weighing on Huainan's heart.
Hua Nan beautiful, more a tough and forgiving heart, she has enough intelligence, only do not want the family and the same operation as the strategist, but now riding the tiger is difficult to get down, had to force themselves to react, to make up their minds, but also to think about the general program, Hua Nan ordered a meal, a full meal to have the strength to fight the war.
As usual, after picking up the daughter at the point of buy groceries on the way home, home cooking and washing dishes with their daughters to write homework, everything as usual, husband Li Hang finished dinner, as usual, and the mother-in-law to pull the family routine after their respective bath, while the bathroom out of the sound of water, Huainan flashed into the house.
Li Hang's cell phone wallet on the bedside, because of the quiet nature of Huainan and respect for privacy, the couple's cell phones from the unprotected, Huainan smoothly open Li Hang's cell phone.
After roughly checking, I found that basically all the content of normal interaction, in addition to Hanna's incessant harassment, Li Hang clearly refused, and said that he cherished his lover's family, there will be no follow-up.
Hua Nan inwardly breathed a sigh of relief, after all, they still have feelings for Li Hang, the two have a daughter, leaving aside the mother-in-law, Li Hang is also quite good for themselves.
To be coaxed after the daughter, Huanan mother-in-law did say, everything in detail all conveyed to Li Hang, the end of the said: "Li Hang, I cherish our marriage, lovely daughter, can continue this way, I think our fate is really at the end of the day, I can take my daughter pennies don't make room for your old Li family."
Li Hang has always known his mother strong, but never knew the old man unreasonable to this point, actually want to break up their marriage, Hua Nan rarely complained in front of their own, well aware of his wife's character of Li Hang know that she did not add fuel to the fire, if not dealt with, the loss of his wife and daughter, the family really want to fall apart. Own genuinely like Hua Nan, never thought of separation.
After a night of thinking, the next day, Li Hang and the old man analyzed, or let the two old man back to the countryside, the eunuch sensible heartbroken son and daughter-in-law, in order to the son's happiness, a lifetime of the old man of coyness is a rare strong one, pulling the wife back to the countryside.
Without the interference of the mother-in-law, a family of three finally live a normal life, Huanan Ming sensible, often let Li Hang to buy things, with his daughter a family of three back to the countryside with the old man.
The conflict between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is slowly easing. In the winter of the following year, Hua Nan successfully gave birth to a son, in order to commemorate this hard-won peace of life, the couple named their son Li Yi An, meaning peace and quiet for a lifetime.
Hua Nan looked at the cradle of the baby's chubby face, recalling the first few years of life as if it were a lifetime ago, there is no strict right and wrong in life, not only their respective positions to take, it is important to choose their own way to feel comfortable, do not bend over backwards, in order to be able to flow.
