My Best Wife

Chapter 315

The two slowly walked to the barbecue stall and sat down. Fang Zhiqiang took a list and ordered a lot of food, and then asked the boss to serve a few bottles of beer. The two sat at the table and waited.

Fang Zhiqiang took out the cigarette case and lit a cigarette by himself, then took out a cigarette and handed it to Huang Wanting.

Huang Wanting shook her head and said, "No, I smoke just for fun. It's not good to smoke regularly."

Fang Zhiqiang didn't force it, and took the cigarette back into the cigarette box.

"It's so fast. Tomorrow is New Year's Day. New Year's Eve will be in a month. The year is over." Fang Zhiqiang couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

"It's okay, I'm numb. I've been here for many years. It doesn't matter whether the Chinese New Year or the holidays, it seems the same to me, there is no difference." Huang Wanting said indifferently.

"You haven't been back for so many years?" Fang Zhiqiang was a little surprised.

"I went back once. I went back for a year, and then I never went back again. It is not easy to go back to the New Year. A ticket has to be robbed long in advance, and it is not easy to grab it. Even if the road is robbed, it is crowded. We Home is so far away, from here to my home, you have to constantly change cars, it takes two days to get home, too tired, and too expensive. The most important thing is that it is not comfortable to go home." Huang Wanting shook her head.

Fang Zhiqiang was also a little surprised to hear Huang Wanting say so.

"Is it weird, right? If you think it is strange, it can only mean that your place is a little more civilized than ours, or it may be because you are a man, you don't think it. Our place has a serious patriarchal mentality. For the people of ours, sooner or later, the daughter is a member of other people’s family, is a tool to inherit other people’s family lineage, is a money-losing goods, is raising for others, and doing business at a loss. The son is a member of his own family. The son is the most important one. Our family is very poor. Even in our place, our family is relatively poor. Because my dad is in poor health and has been sick all the time, he has to take medicine and cannot do heavy work. My parents gave birth to me at the first birth. They wanted to give birth to a son, so they gave birth to another one. In the end, they were still a daughter. They knew that the conditions at home were not enough to support them. Then I gave birth again. The third one finally gave birth to a son. This is the end. Since I was young, the food and clothes at home have been my brother first, and it is my turn to eat what my brother doesn’t want. . Of course, I’m not saying that my parents are wrong. In short, in our village, it’s basically the same. Everyone is like this, and it’s natural to get used to it. No one thinks anything is wrong.” Huang Wanting smiled. As she said, even when she said these things, she was smiling, and there was not too much sadness and indignation in her tone.

"Do you also go back now?"

"It’s much better now, because I have made money. This family is now all supported by me. Of course they have to treat me well. My brother went to a high school specially. I sent the money for high school and I came out. After going to work, I also sent the money for my dad to take the medicine. Then, my brother went home before finishing high school and didn't do anything. He just wandered around at home all day, and then my mother forced me to pay and give it to me. My brother bought a tractor and made some money by pulling things for others in the village. Although a tractor is not expensive, it is not cheap. My salary is not too high. For a second-hand tractor, I save money. I saved up two years of money. After that, I started to sing at night and my income was a little higher, but my family had to build a new house because I was about to marry my brother and a wife. My mother asked me for money again for three years. I have made a lot of money in the past three years. I sent it all back to build a new house. At the beginning of this year, my house was built and the house was built. When I moved, my mother called me to go back and have a look. Did not go back. In the middle of the year, my mother called me again, gave my brother a blind date, and had a date with a girl. She was about to get married, asked for gift money, and wanted to prepare for the wedding. After hearing this, I was almost desperate. I told my mother, don’t always ask me for money for this reason or that reason. I will call you every month except for the money I make to maintain my basic life."

Hearing this, Fang Zhiqiang was a little speechless, and more a little bit stunned. He felt that Huang Wanting’s parents had done a little too much, but after all, they were their parents, and he was not very good at commenting. He just asked: "What did your mother say ?"

"My mother said yes, she is very happy, that's it." Huang Wanting spread her hands and said, very free and easy, smiling when she said this, as if she was telling a joke.

Hearing this, Fang Zhiqiang was also silent. He had always known that Huang Wanting was carrying the burden of the family, but he did not expect that the burden was so heavy and it looked like this.

At this time, the boss was on the barbecue, with a few large pots.

Fang Zhiqiang opened the beer and poured wine for himself and Huang Wanting.

"However, I may have to go back this year before Chinese New Year." Huang Wanting said.

"Before the Chinese New Year?" Fang Zhiqiang was a little strange. To go back to the New Year, how could he go back before the Chinese New Year.

"Yes, before the New Year, my brother got married before the New Year, I am considering whether to go back."

"You should go back, my brother's marriage is such a big deal." Fang Zhiqiang persuaded.

"I know, I should go back, but I have to wait until I get this month's salary before taking time off. Otherwise, wouldn't it be meaningless to them if I go back?" Huang Wanting said lightly.

Huang Wanting was talking, drinking wine and eating barbecue indifferently, and Fang Zhiqiang could hear too much sadness in a simple sentence.

"Why don't you borrow some money from me first, anyway, they didn't force me to pay it back immediately. Anyway, your brother's marriage is a major event." Fang Zhiqiang thought for a while.

"No, I have already paid enough money for the marriage. This time I went back to give the red envelopes. I am not stupid. After so many years, I have done everything that a daughter and a sister should do. I did what I did. Whether it’s filial piety or righteousness, I think I’ve done it all. Now the house is built, I bought his car, and my wife married. Later... I started to take care of myself. This is the last time I go home." Huang Wanting shook her head.
