National Tide 1980

When Nian Jing limped away from home in the afternoon, not only did his feet hurt, but his face also hurt.

But after thinking about it, he actually didn't have anywhere to go.

Normally, this is something a man can't say to anyone.

I can only bury it deep in my heart, lick my wounds and consider countermeasures.

If you really can't bear the emotional burden, you can at most find another reason and go have a carnival with your closest and most trusted buddies to temporarily numb yourself.

Also be careful not to drink too much, lest you make a drunken mistake and regret it later.

Moreover, Nian Jing has no real good buddies, and he doesn't have much money.

So after thinking about it, I had no choice but to go back to my parents' house first.

As for the injury on his face, Nian Jing found a suitable excuse and pretended to have hit a daredevil on his bike.

Don't tell me, Nian Jing has better luck than Jiang Hui.

Although he came in a hurry, he didn't bring anything for his parents.

But as the most promising child in this poor family, as the only person in the neighborhood with an official position, Nian Jing, who rarely made a trip home, still received quite warm hospitality.

When the old neighbors who had watched him grow up met him, they all greeted him warmly, saying "year section chief".

Both his parents and his two older sisters treat him as a distinguished guest at home.

Especially his mother, when she saw his injury, she was anxious and distressed to give him medicine.

He also kept cursing the traffic offender who actually did not exist.

He also spent more than two yuan and asked the eldest sister to go out and buy a grass carp and ask for an extra dish for dinner.

His father happily pulled him to sit next to him and asked him if his work and life were going well.

Even during the meal, his father took the initiative to pour him wine, and the whole family watched and waited for him to be the first to use chopsticks.

But such courtesy made Nian Jing feel even more depressed.

Because as soon as he saw this formation, he guessed that he might have something to do at home.

Sure enough, Dad spoke up after a few glasses of wine.

I feel a little embarrassed to say that I am retiring soon, and it is not a problem to be idle at home.

I hope Nian Jing can help find a part-time job as a gatekeeper or night watcher, so that he can make some money for the family to supplement their living expenses.

The mother and two sisters are also worried about ordering milk for the second sister's daughter.

Ganqing's family estimated that the second sister's baby was a girl and she didn't have much to eat, so they ordered a bottle of milk for the baby since the baby was born.

As a result, after two months, the child had a huge appetite and could not eat enough every day. At night, he would cry from hunger.

I want to find a milk station to switch to two bottles of milk, but it is no longer possible and they won't help.

So Nian Jing has to help with this matter.

To be honest, in the past, Nian Jing would have definitely taken over everything.

He didn't even need to tell Jiang Hui to get it done.

But the problem is that he knows very well that he relies on the power of the Jiang family.

Now that he is in trouble with Jiang Hui, it is very likely that he is no longer the son-in-law of the Jiang family.

Is that still possible? Even if you hurry up and do it, you will still be in trouble?

So this time he hesitated and hesitated.

As a result, his family became submissive and a little frightened.

It seemed that they thought they had made some excessive demands.

This made Nian Jing pity these relatives even more than herself.

So I had no choice but to bite the bullet and agree first.

In this way, his relatives returned to their natural state and began to praise him for his abilities and talk to him with smiles.

But his relatives did not dare to keep him for a long time, for fear that Jiang Hui would be unhappy if he returned late.

In fact, before eight o'clock, Nian Jing's eyes were still red from the alcohol, and his cautious family members began to remind him that it was time to go home.

When sending him out, his parents kept telling the family not to worry about him too much, saying that it was nothing serious and they would try not to cause him any trouble.

As long as he lives his own life and doesn't get embarrassed or quarrel with Jiang Hui.

Just like that, Nian Jing rode out of the alley again and continued to wander homeless on the street.

In fact, his mood did not get much better because of the warmth of his family. On the contrary, he felt more emotional baggage and mental burden.

So even though there was a big night market in the capital this year, and the streets were full of bright fruits, prosperous scenes, and charming girls, it still couldn't make him feel the least bit interested.

He didn't know what he wanted to do. He didn't want to go anywhere or meet anyone. Nothing interested him.

He felt numb, just like the person in the TV series "Legend of the Condor Heroes" who had his acupoints tapped, and his whole body was numb.

At the same time, I felt unbearable depression and fear.

So I couldn't help but start to reflect and review my behavior today.

How irrational!

Since you've been pretending to be deaf and dumb for so long, and it's not just a day or two, why do you have to ruin everything now?

Although it is said that no man can bear this kind of anger, if he can bear it, he is not a human being.

But haven’t I already sent the adulterer “in”?

That's enough.

Why bother to argue with her?

Why do you have to make it clear?

Family scandals should not be made public.

I want to divorce because of this, why won’t others laugh at me?

Hey, we shouldn’t forget how high the sky is and how thick the earth is.

This is good, when I can't bear it anymore, I feel happy on my lips, but it can be regarded as a cocoon.

What should we do now?

Among his friends, it seems that only Ning Weimin is not affected by the Jiang family's influence and has the ability to help him.

Then he is his last hope.

But...but people are all snobs, and our friendship is ordinary.

If I were no longer the son-in-law of the Jiang family, I would probably be retaliated by the Jiang family. Will he still lend a helping hand to me?

Nian Jing thought as he walked aimlessly on the street until late at night.

Until the crowd dispersed and the cars lay dormant, leaving only dim street lights.

In the end, even the two old men playing chess under the lamp packed up the chessboard and left.

Nian Jing was left standing in the shadow of the lamp, staring blankly at the leaving figures of the two old men.

His eyes were wet, and he shed tears unconsciously.

I thought to myself, how did I get into this situation?

It's actually worse than a wild cat, it doesn't even have a place to go.

He even more inexplicably thought that he might end up like this in his later years, old, poor, and ignored.

To be honest, if one day he was going to grow old and ugly and end up like the two old men in front of him, wearing a torn vest and playing chess under the lamp with a big cattail leaf fan, then he would rather not live that long.

As long as he lives for one day, he must live a decent life.

He was determined not to live like this.

And his family cannot live without such a life.

If he becomes like this, who will find a part-time job for his father to solve the milk problem for his niece?

So he should stop arguing with Jiang Hui.

They are even willing to say nice things and lower the table, just to get life back to its original track.

He really didn't dare to mess with the Jiang family.

Even if his father-in-law and mother-in-law didn't give him much, it would still be easy to ruin his life.

In short, I feel the sadness of little people being powerless in life.

Nian Jing made up his mind that he must use tears and sweet words to move Jiang Hui and save the situation.

Even if he slaps himself in the face, kneels down to beg for mercy and scolds himself, it will be enough to get Jiang Hui to change his mind.

Integrity is useless, it is the characteristic of a reckless man.

He had to learn from Han Xin and endure the humiliation of his crotch first, then he could slowly pursue it...

Finally returned to the door of the house, it was already two o'clock in the morning.

Because from the outside, the whole building was dark.

So when Nian Jing took out the key and opened the door, he didn't deliberately do it lightly.

He thought that Jiang Hui had probably gone to her parents' house, or had gone back to the bedroom to sleep.

If there's something going on, it seems we have to take a nap before talking about it.

But he didn't expect that as soon as he opened the door, there would be movement in the living room.

In the dark room, a person sat on the sofa.

"You're back? What time is it now? How...why did I fall asleep?"

The voice sounds like it’s Jiang Hui!

After Nian Jing was stunned for a moment, he immediately became possessed by the drama spirit and fell to his knees with a "pop" as planned.

Then he pretended to be excited, half-knelt and half-crawled over, hugged Jiang Hui's feet, and began to pray against his will with runny noses and tears.

"Honey, I was wrong! I'm not a human being! I have a bad temper! I shouldn't have made random suspicions about you! I shouldn't have hurt you by talking nonsense! But you also have to know that I love you so much that I fainted because of jealousy. Damn it! Please, Hui'er, don't leave me..."

In the following description, he only mentioned Jiang Hui's advantages and his own disadvantages, and exaggerated them many times, as if Jiang Hui was the most perfect woman in the world.

However, Jiang Hui's reaction was so strange.

There was no hatred, no jealousy, and no love. He only showed an unusual calmness and composure.

"Stop making trouble, you don't need to be like this. Get up first and let's talk."

"Let's talk. What's there to talk about? It's all my fault. Wife, I just want to kneel down, otherwise I can't atone for my sins. You can punish me however you want? Just don't get a divorce, otherwise I will die..."

Nian Jing decided to take the painful drama to the extreme, even parodying the bloody scenes in the TV series.

However, real life still exceeded his imagination.

"If you don't want to talk about it, then I will. We don't have to get divorced. But it won't make sense to live like this if we keep going on like this."

"I've thought about it seriously, and it's not all your responsibility. We were a little hasty when we got married. Everything seemed fine, but when you think about it, the cracks existed from the first day. And I didn't understand myself correctly after the marriage. and your situation, which makes the conflicts accumulate and deepen."

"But now I clearly realize that since I have married and we have become a small family, we can no longer rely on my parents and brother for everything. We can only rely on ourselves in the future."

"So, I understand you a little bit. Your dissatisfaction is actually reasonable. What I mean is that I will talk to your father about your future. Best, my position will also be adjusted. Now The society is changing too fast, and I don’t want to be idle anymore. It’s better for the two of us to work together than alone..."

Great happiness comes suddenly like this.

In the dark room, although Jiang Hui's expression could not be clearly seen, he could not figure out what was going on.

But Nian Jing, who couldn't afford to kneel down, truly believed that his wife was a fairy from the Nine Heavens descending to the mortal world.
