Every day after work, we feel like we have just experienced a long and difficult battle. The pace of the big city is too fast. The fast pace and pressure are like invisible blades, cutting on our tired nerves.
During the day, I have to accompany my father to the hospital for rehabilitation every now and then, and I have to do live broadcasts at night. Only the time after the broadcast belongs to me.
Now I finally understand why, for modern people, only night truly belongs to them.
Because only when I am relieved of my responsibilities for the day, when there is no one to disturb me and no information, can I feel that I can truly relax.
During the day, I belong to survival, and in the dead of night, I belong to life, although this time is pitiful.
Lin Feifei picked up a mutton skewer and brought it to her mouth, staring ahead with tired eyes, as if she was seeing through the prosperity and vanity of this world. The smoky smell of mutton filled the air, her tired body and painful soul , all were temporarily released under the comfort of food.
Lin Feifei finally plucked up the courage and asked cautiously: "Husband, you won't be angry with my mother, right?"
I shook my head and said, "I'm not angry."
"real?"
"Really, I'm angry."
"..."
I am telling the truth. What Deng Meijia did is not as simple as being angry.
She sighed softly, and her snow-like jade face was filled with sadness, which made me feel pity for her.
"Hey... I thought that when you helped her settle the gambling contract and bring the goods, she would happily agree! I didn't expect that she would still be like this, going back on her word."
I smiled, now I have accepted this reality, we are very busy every day, and I don't want to let the depression affect myself. Of course, Deng Meijia is Lin Feifei's biological mother after all. No matter how much I complain in my heart, I can't complain in front of Lin Feifei.
I reached out and touched her hair, gently stroking the flowing hair with my palms. The world seemed to become so quiet at this moment, with only the sound of our breathing echoing in the air.
I gave her a slap on the head, comforted her and said, "It's okay, it's just a waste of time! I don't want you to be caught in the middle, so don't think too much about it. Since you can't solve it, just put it aside for now! That's right!" , your mother wants to ask me to bring goods again, has she told you?"
Lin Feifei opened her eyes wide, shook her head and said, "She didn't tell me, why did she ask you to bring the goods again? Isn't the betting contract over?"
I picked up a tendon and smiled bitterly: "She said she was helping a friend of hers bring goods. I just want to say hello to you first. When I bring goods, I must first check the product and reputation. If their product is not good, I will definitely Without."
I was afraid that Deng Meijia would tell me a story in front of Lin Feifei, so I told her the story first.
Lin Feifei nodded and said understandingly: "I understand this, just follow your heart. By the way, when it comes to live broadcasts, don't be too tired. Live broadcasts for five hours a day, can your body handle it?"
To be honest, talking non-stop for five hours is really tiring. I have to maintain a high-pitched state for five consecutive hours. Every time I play, my limbs feel like they are not my own, as if they have been swept by a violent storm of exhaustion. , the body is like a pool of mud, slumping down little by little.
But I can’t complain about being tired, because compared with many people who work nine to five, I am already considered happy.
Looking at her concerned face, I couldn't help but reach out and touch her cheek, and said with a smile: "It's okay, you guys are tired from flying four sections every day! You are used to it."
She looked at me with distressed eyes and said softly: "We can't help it, but you can choose the time period for your live broadcast. After you are busy this week, you can adjust it back next week!"
Feeling her concern, I felt like I was rolling in a candy bowl and said happily: "My dad has been hospitalized for a long time. I have been wasted long enough. There are many products lined up. I have to leave behind." The progress will be recovered, but don’t worry, we will be busy for another two weeks at most and we will be done.”
"You should take care of yourself."
I stroked her white little hand and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I will control myself."
"roll roll roll!"
After eating supper
At night, it was already one o'clock in the morning. We were both tired, so we took a taxi back directly.
When we arrived at the gate of the community, Lin Feifei suddenly asked me to carry her inside.
She opened her arms and pouted and said, "I can't walk anymore, can you carry me?"
In fact, I couldn't walk anymore, but she suddenly acted coquettishly towards me, which could not help but wash away all my fatigue.
I was stunned for a moment, then smiled, and just when I was about to speak, Lin Feifei didn't know what she thought of, waved her hand and said:
"Forget it, I'll go by myself!"
I nodded and said, "That's right. If we can't carry it, we will both be embarrassed."
"Hahaha! Get out of here!" Lin Feifei rushed over and scratched me.
After a while of fussing, she finally gave up when I begged for mercy.
She pinched my underdeveloped biceps, rolled her eyes and said, "I thought your arms were too thin, and I was afraid you wouldn't be able to carry them."
When she said that, it hurt my self-esteem a bit. I said unconvinced, "Who are you looking down on? I can hold you up with one hand."
"Tch! Do you think you have unicorn arms?"
"What are Qilin arms? I have Qilin kidneys."
"..."
Time flowed quietly amidst the quarrel between the two of us. Let’s not talk about the attitudes of the families on both sides. As long as we run our own small family well, it is more important than anything else.
Although the marriage involves two families, the final decision whether to go ahead with it or not is a matter between the two of us.
The next day, my father did not need to do rehabilitation training, and Lin Feifei and I had a rare rest. When we woke up, it was already bright.
I turned over in a daze and found that there was nothing around me. Her faint fragrance still lingered in the air of the room, but the sound came from outside.
"Auntie, do you think it's okay if I cut it like this?"
"If you don't know how to cook and can cut it like this, it's good enough!"
Hearing the conversation between her and my mother, I suddenly felt no sleepiness at all. I opened the door and walked out to see that she was chopping vegetables under the supervision of my mother.
I was stunned, looking at her pretty face without makeup, and said in surprise: "Are you cooking today?"
"Yes! I have a day off today and learn to cook with my aunt."
Lin Feifei looked at my mother and tilted her head and smiled.
Her every frown and smile were like lines drawn by the best craftsmen with the softest brushstrokes, stretching and natural. She was wearing ordinary white pajamas, but against the backdrop of her bare makeup, she looked particularly elegant, like a narcissus in the morning.
Appreciating her natural beauty, I couldn't help but smile, "Then I'll be waiting to eat it."
"Well, you can chat with uncle for a while, and leave lunch to aunt and I."
