The sound insulation effect of the old house is poor, and Yang Xiaoge can hear the quarrel of his parents while lying on the bed.

"I don't stay at home for two or three days, and I ask for divorce as soon as I come back. Yang Guoxin, do you still have a conscience?" Zhou Hongmei was very angry.

"I don't have a conscience, you Zhou Hongmei can have a conscience, can you let me go free earlier?" Yang Guoxin was also angry.

"What did I do wrong to be divorced? How can I be sorry for your Yang family? Yang Guoxin! Tell me about it!" Zhou Hongmei thought very traditionally.

Yang Guoxin was going crazy, his wife's virtuousness was well-known in Sima Lane, and it was all his fault for mentioning the Yang family's right and wrong. "You're right, it's all my fault, I don't have any feelings for you! There is no need for a marriage without feelings."

"Children can't live without a complete family. I don't agree to divorce..." Zhou Hongmei sobbed, her voice was much lower, and she begged a little.

"Divorced, Xiaoge is also my son, how can I ignore him? You just make excuses and refuse to leave!" Yang Guoxin sneered.

"Over the years, have you cared about Xiaoge? Yang Guoxin, are you still ashamed to mention your son?" Zhou Hongmei lost control of her emotions, and her son was what she cared most about.

"Zhou Hongmei, I really can't continue living with you. Whether you agree or not, the divorce is final!" Yang Guoxin issued an ultimatum.

"Yang Guoxin, you should die for a divorce. If you want a divorce, you must die!"

"You woman is unreasonable! I'll beat you to death!"

"If you kill me, you won't leave!"

There was a sound of tearing from the next door, Yang Xiaoge heard it, and quickly got up to go out to fight, but before Yang Xiaoge got out of bed, he heard the door of the next bedroom 'bang' open, and there was a burst of footsteps.After a while, Yang Xiaoge heard the gate pangdang being opened, and there was the muffled sound of the motorcycle starting, and then two chugs, the sound disappeared, and Yang Guoxin shook his hands and left on the motorcycle.Back then, a better motorcycle cost tens of thousands, which cost Zhou Hongmei more than two years' salary.

The Yang family fell silent, but Yang Xiaoge knew that Zhou Hongmei was still sad in the room. After sitting there for a while, Yang Xiaoge went to the door of his parents' room and knocked twice.

"Mom! Are you okay?"

When Yang Guoxin left, he didn't close the bedroom door. The bedroom door was half open. Yang Xiaoge knocked on the door to give Zhou Hongmei some time to prepare. At this time, Zhou Hongmei must be very embarrassed.People in their early thirties can certainly think of these details.

"Xiaoge, wait." Sure enough, Zhou Hongmei cleared her throat after Sisi Suo rang in the room for a while. "Xiaoge, come in."

Zhou Hongmei was sitting by the bed, except for her messy hair and red eyes, she looked normal.

"Mom! Did Dad hit you?" Yang Xiaoge squatted down at Zhou Hongmei's feet. Yang Guoxin was a jerk, but there was one thing he was good at, he wouldn't beat women badly.

"No, your dad just grabbed my arm." Zhou Hongmei touched his right arm.

Yang Xiaoge saw a red mark on Zhou Hongmei's right arm, and touched it with his finger.Zhou Hongmei looks ordinary, but her skin is quite fair and fair. The red mark left by Yang Guoxin's grab is very glaring.

"Mom, are you divorcing Dad?" Yang Xiaoge said softly.

Zhou Hongmei looked at her son in surprise: "Xiaoge, what's wrong with you..."

No wonder Zhou Hongmei was surprised. The original boy Yang Xiaoge was firmly opposed to the divorce of his parents. At that time, the boy thought that letting the bastard father get divorced easily was to make him cheaper.

"If you can't live with Dad, then divorce! Dad is like this, our family is the same without him. Mom, I have you enough!" When Yang Xiaoge said this, his expression was quite calm, without anger or anger.

Zhou Hongmei vaguely felt that her son was different from before, speaking and behaving like an adult. While feeling relieved, she hated her husband even more, thinking that it was her husband who forced her son to mature.

"Xiaoge, it's not that mom doesn't agree to leave, it's that mom can't!" Zhou Hongmei covered her face with her hands, revealing the weakness in her heart.

"Why?" Yang Xiaoge sat on the bed and half hugged her mother. Zhou Hongmei's body was very thin, and there were always bad things in life. How could she gain weight.

Zhou Hongmei leaned half on her son's shoulder, and told the reason in a low voice: "Xiaoge, you will be in high school this year, and after high school is university. Mom’s unit benefits are very bad. When you go to college, mom is afraid that she won’t be able to pay for your college tuition and living expenses. If mom and your dad divorce and award you to your dad, don’t say that mom is reluctant, and your dad won’t either. You will be more responsible. How could your father not remarry like that? If there is a stepmother, there will be a stepdad! I’m afraid he doesn’t care about you. If you don’t get a divorce, mom can force your father to pay for your college expenses in a name.”

Zhou Hongmei's affection for her husband has long been worn away in the quarrel. Now she only has her son in her heart, and she plans everything for him.

Zhou Hongmei's unit can only pay the full basic salary, barely three hundred per month.However, Yang Guoxin’s unit is a state-run grain system. At that time, Huaxia had not officially joined the WTO, and the domestic grain market had not been fully liberalized. The semi-monopoly grain unit controlled the grain source, which belonged to the drought and flood protection system.Yang Guoxin, as the person in charge of a grain store, is responsible for purchasing goods from the grain store. He has bonuses and extra money, and his income is much higher than that of Zhou Hongmei.It's just that Yang Guoxin's life is very small, and most of his salary is spent on his own packaging. He has no money to go home, and his family expenses are all dependent on Zhou Hongmei.

Zhou Hongmei and Yang Guoxin are not in free love, but met through someone's introduction. The relationship between the two is not good at all.

Yang Guoxin's handsome appearance is favored by many women, but the women Yang Guoxin befriends are looked down upon by Yang Xiaoge's grandparents, and the two old men think that the women their son likes are all flirtatious, and they are not people who live at home.With the strong intervention of Yang Xiaoge's grandparents, Yang Guoxin married Zhou Hongmei aggrievedly.After 16 years of marriage, the two divorced for 12 years. When the two old people passed away, Yang Guoxin got worse and didn't even return home very much.For his son, Yang Guoxin's way of expressing his father's love is just to stuff some pocket money.Well, that's only when I see my son, maybe five or six times a year.

"Mom! Don't worry about money, I'll find a solution." Yang Xiaoge comforted his mother.Social development will be the same as in the previous life, and the foresight of rebirth is to make money.

Seeing her son's serious announcement, Zhou Hongmei thought it was funny, and raised her hand to touch the top of his son's head. "Xiaoge, you are only 15 years old, you don't need to worry about these things, you just need to study well."

Yang Xiaoge was stunned, yes, he was only 15 years old, and he had to go to high school to take the university entrance exam, who thought that such a big boy could make money?No one would do business with such a big boy.

"I'm sorry, it's all because of my mother's uselessness!" Seeing Yang Xiaoge's gloomy expression, Zhou Hongmei felt guilty.

"No, Mom, you are a good mother, but I was ignorant, and I didn't understand you before." Yang Xiaoge looked at her reddened eyes, reviewing her ignorance before.

The boy Yang Xiaoge has a bad temper and doesn't understand his mother's helplessness. He doesn't study hard and spends a lot of money to attend a third-rate university.In the previous life, Yang Guoxin did not get divorced under the strong opposition of his son and the threat of force from his brother-in-law.But this result was not good for Zhou Hongmei's mother and son. Not only did Yang Xiaoge not use Yang Guoxin's penny to go to college, but the house at home was sold to pay off debts because of Yang Guoxin's business failure.Yang Guoxin disappeared after taking away the house money. Until 2014, Yang Xiaoge had no news of his father.

Zhou Hongmei was laid off at the beginning of 1997. She worked several jobs in order to support Yang Xiaoge in high school and college. She usually lived frugally, suffered from long-term malnutrition and fatigue, and her body was worn down.When Yang Xiaoge was in his junior year, Zhou Hongmei was diagnosed with leukemia and passed away after two years in the hospital, leaving behind a huge debt.

Yang Xiaoge graduated from university with the support of his uncle. After graduation, he worked hard to pay off his debts. Except that he did not work on construction sites, Yang Xiaoge did whatever job he could to make money. It was not until [-] that he paid off all his debts.Recalling the hardships and loneliness of his previous life, Yang Xiaoge really wanted to throw himself into his mother's arms and cry.

In this life, no matter what, parents have to divorce as soon as possible!Yang Xiaoge swore secretly.

Seeing her son's pained face, Zhou Hongmei secretly swore in her heart that for the sake of her son, no divorce would be allowed no matter what, and her husband must fulfill his responsibilities as a father.

For the sake of each other, the mother and son have different thoughts.

Early the next morning, Zhou Hongmei went to work in the hotel.Comrade Zhou Hongmei has been working for 21 years, and the number of times she is late for work can be counted on dozens of fingers. She is a well-known work activist in the unit.It's a pity that it's useless to work hard. At the end of the year, Weimin Hotel became insolvent, and its assets were sold and liquidated. Zhou Hongmei was forced to lay off.

After Zhou Hongmei left, Yang Xiaoge didn't stay idle either. He got up early to clean up at home and shared housework for his mother.

"Xiaoge, Xiaoge, are you home?" Following the sound of the door lock turning, an old woman in her early sixties opened the door with a key and walked in. The old woman held a plastic bag in each hand.One plastic bag seemed to contain vegetables, and the other plastic bag was dusty, and I didn't know what it was inside.

Yang Xiaoge ran to the yard to see that it was his grandma who came.Yang Xiaoge's grandfather passed away very early, and his grandmother worked hard to raise his eldest son Zhou Hongjun and daughter Zhou Hongmei alone. Now the old lady lives with Zhou Hongjun, not far from Yang Xiaoge's house, only a 10-minute walk away.

"Grandma! You are here!"

"Oh, my grandson is so diligent, mopping the floor!" The old lady narrowed her eyes with a smile, she had never seen her grandson doing housework.

"I'm already 15 years old." Yang Xiaoge scratched his head embarrassingly.

"15 years old is too old. Brother Xiaofeng won't take the initiative to do housework when you are 20 years old. You have to be scolded by your aunt before you go to perfunctory." He walked into the living room and put another plastic bag on the dining table.The Xiaofeng the old man said was her grandson, Yang Xiaoge's cousin, 21 years old this year, graduated from a vocational school and was unemployed at home.

"Grandma, what is this?"

"It was the tinfoil that your mother asked me to buy. Today is the Ghost Festival, and I want to weave ingots and burn them for my ancestors."

Ordinary people celebrate the Ghost Festival on Sunday in advance, and the Yang family postponed it until the day because they had to wait for Yang Guoxin to come back to preside over it. Yang Guoxin ran away last night, so Zhou Hongmei had to spend it with her son alone.Because she didn't ask for leave in advance, Zhou Hongmei went to her brother's house before going to work in the morning and asked her mother to help.

"Oh, today is the Ghost Festival." Yang Xiaoge felt a little strange. The date he was killed by gas bombing in his previous life was the day before the Ghost Festival.

"Xiaoge, come and learn how to weave ingots from grandma." The old man not only has to help his daughter weave ingots, but also cooks dishes dedicated to the ancestors of the Yang family.

"Okay." Yang Xiaoge sat down on the head of the old man and skillfully weaved the ingot.

"Hey, Xiaoge, you know how to weave. The ingots you weave are quite beautiful." The old lady praised her grandson.

Yang Xiaoge bowed his head. After Zhou Hongmei died of illness in his previous life, he would weave tinfoil ingots alone in his rented house every eve of the festival day. It is said that the ingots woven by relatives are valuable in the underworld.

"Xiaoge, your bastard old man came back yesterday and told your mother that he divorced?"

"Yeah!" Yang Xiaoge nodded. The quarrel between Zhou Hongmei and Yang Guoxin must have been heard by the neighbors yesterday. Today someone enthusiastically told the old lady.

The neighbors in Sima Lane are warm and friendly, and they have little privacy.

"Humph, it wasn't because your grandparents were good people back then, how could grandma agree to marry your mother to your father?" The old lady regretted. Around 1980, Zhou Hongmei's work unit was very popular, and it was considered a good stock in the marriage market. And units of high and low.Although Yang Guoxin's appearance is outstanding and the unit is okay, but the reputation is not good. This was a big stain at that time, and the old lady cared a lot at the time.Yang Xiaoge's grandparents liked Zhou Hongmei, so they repeatedly asked the introducer to come to propose marriage to their son, and patted their chests to assure their son's character, dispelling the old lady's worries, and then she let her agree.The hesitation back then was right. The old lady was very guilty because her daughter was not living a happy life, so she came to help whenever she was free.

Thinking of the past, the old lady became more and more angry as she talked, and began to recount Yang Guoxin's romantic affairs over the years. Yang Xiaoge's ears could hear these words in his previous life.

"I heard that your father recently fell in love with a demon woman who sells clothes. She bought all the gold rings and necklaces, and that woman seems to have fallen in love with your father." The old man suddenly reversed his tone. "Xiaoge, you have to help your mother, and you can't let your father get a divorce."

"Grandma, dad is like this, what's the point of mom and dad being together?" Yang Xiaofeng black line, why do such scumbags stay together?

"Stupid child, divorced, what will your mother do? She is almost 40 years old, can she find a better one? Besides, what should you do? The next seven or eight years will be when money is needed. Once the marriage is divorced, your father will I have to pick outsiders to use my money!"

The old lady glared at Yang Xiaoge, feeling that her grandson was still too young to know the hardships of life, her daughter was about to be laid off, and the family would have to be maintained by her son-in-law in the future.The old man thought that besides being romantic, Yang Guoxin was good at making money. Otherwise, how could he afford motorcycles and mobile phones? In 1996, mobile phones and motorcycles were high-end configurations and luxury goods.

"Grandma, if you don't have money, you can find ways to make money. It's not reliable to rely on my father!" Yang Xiaoge shook his head.As for the idea of ​​reforming Yang Guoxin, Yang Xiaoge thinks that is harder than letting the Yangtze River flow westward into the Mediterranean Sea.Yang Guoxin is naturally coquettish and selfish. He spends money lavishly and has no sense of responsibility. Yang Xiaoge’s grandfather suffered from headaches for half his life.

The old lady tapped Yang Xiaoge's forehead with her finger, leaving a silver gray mark, which was tin foil gray mark. "How easy is it to make money? Children only know how to open their mouths. Your mother earns extra money at work and off work, which is less than [-] a month. I heard that it will cost tens of thousands a year to study in college. Where will the money come from?"

In addition to work, Zhou Hongmei also went to a garment factory near Sima Lane to do some back-end work to earn some extra money.

"I..." Yang Xiaoge is not convinced. The society in this period is full of opportunities. As long as you work hard and be flexible, how can you not earn RMB?

"Well, grandma knows that Xiaoge is filial and wants to be filial to your mother, but you are still young and there are many things that you can't help with. You, now the most important thing is to study well. You must go to a good university and assign a good job. This way, your mother will be relied on for the rest of her life." The old lady took out a small handkerchief package from her trouser pocket, opened it, and took out a five-yuan RMB and stuffed it to her grandson: "There is no ginger at home, go and buy a piece of ginger for grandma, and wait for it to burn." The fish needs to be used, and the change money will buy you Wahaha."
