Water lanterns and dreams in 1 nights

A little annoying.

I lay on the bed, thinking about how this happened, my thoughts gradually diverged, and in a half-drowsy state, the feeling of deja vu came to me again.

second night

15. Bad boy 01

I adopted a child.

To be exact, the wife took in a child.

In the second dream, I finally got married and had a wife.

My wife and I have known each other since we were young. She lives in an alley three streets away from me.In terms of distance, it is close enough, but at this distance, people who have never met seriously from birth to death account for the majority. We are luckier, and we have friendship since we were young, and then elementary school, middle school, and university went smoothly. After graduating from the local area, they got married and did not return to their hometown. Instead, they worked together as teachers in Qiming City, Yong'an Province, where they were studying at university.

The wife is a gentle and elegant woman. She was able to retain such a valuable nature during the war. On the one hand, it was due to her nature, and on the other hand, it was due to her wisdom of euphemistically retaining herself.After all, powerless tenderness is the bait that attracts disasters. People in troubled times are no different from snakes and rats. They naturally perceive the soft and fragrant virtue, and greedily swallow the owner of virtue after extracting the benefits. .

If Liangzi is such a simple woman, no matter how many years we have been in friendship, I will not rashly bind this life to her.She is a courageous person, and she has a respectful attitude towards my drifting life attitude, but I can more or less find clues of disapproval from her words and deeds.

"Of course it's okay when I'm by your side, but sometimes you have to learn to fight for your own interests." She often warned me, but as long as I said, "Then please stay with me from now on. By my side." Her words melted, her expression softened, she shook her head helplessly, and prepared dinner for me.

Before going to bed at night, she asked me to lie on her lap and check out her daily expenses one by one, and I did it honestly, after all, she always knew these things better than me.Teachers' wages are not high, and compared with those of workers, they are naturally more dignified and relaxed.Generally speaking, neither of us is stupid. Liangzi is an associate professor at a private university. I am a different university from hers. I was just promoted to a professor last year. After a few years, he has a little reputation. With the remuneration of articles published in magazines and publications, his income is still considerable.We don't place much value on worldly pleasures. Excessive indulgence is not good for the body and mind. Therefore, we are more inclined to save money than spend it.In the time of war and chaos, business is easy to start and loses quickly. None of us have such ambition and energy to invest, let alone have no children, lack of extra expenses, and have saved some savings.

It is also a question that is often asked, why can't I have a son and a half daughter after more than ten years of marriage.We asked the doctor to look at it. First, Liangzi’s body is not suitable for pregnancy. Second, I had a premonition, and the results just confirmed that I am not easy to keep a child.Just in case the doctor wasn't accurate enough, we went to the hospital for an examination. I thought there was nothing wrong with it, so I put my heart out.

This is already my third life, and I can’t say how many worlds I will experience in the future. Under the oppression of the unknown, it’s just a pity that I don’t have any children.But in Ryoko's eyes, it was an extremely important event.Ever since she received the results of the physical examination, her bright eyes were covered with haze, which made her description eclipsed. It wasn't until she realized that the problem was caused by me that the haze receded a little, but it still lingered between her brows.

"Kazuhiko," one day when I was having breakfast at the dining table, Yoshiko folded her arms and stared out of the window, watching the newspaper delivery boy running nimbly across the lawn of the neighbor's house, and suddenly said to me: "I wish I could have a child of yours. "

I put down the bread and asked, "Why do you say that suddenly?" Although my wife is a teacher, she doesn't have much love for children. Rather, it is for this reason that she became a university teacher.

The wife smiled melancholy, like a white lily with her head down, a gloomy and pure beauty: "I only want your child."

I thought what she wanted was the sense of intimacy connected by blood. I have always been willing to obey her request. This time I can't do anything, so I can only comfort and say: "As long as two people are together for a long time, will there be any children who fall in love?" Second."

"I want a boy. It has to be a boy. It looks like you and has the same personality. I usually don't like to smile, but when I smile, it's very precious and cute." Liangzi fiddled with the tied curtains a few times, and put the light green The silk belt was untied, and the curtain was allowed to hang down naturally, and the light dimmed a few degrees.This is the preparation before going out.

Liangzi grew up with me, and I still don't understand how she shines day after day. More than ten years of marriage haven't wiped out her beauty. Almost all the time, she doesn't give me the impression of beauty.I turned my head to admire her slender and elegant shoulder and neck curves, and tied her hair into a bun like a full moon, "Why can't it be a daughter?"

"Because I'm going to be mad with jealousy when I see you being intimate with her." The wife joked, "If it's a boy, let's take him out together, and everyone will know that you really belong to us as soon as they see him." mine."

I didn't know what to say for a while, so I had no choice but to reply: "You don't have children, and I'm holding your hand. Is it possible that you don't understand that we are together?"

Ryoko pursed her lips and smiled, and came over to wipe something from the corner of my mouth with a handkerchief, maybe bread crumbs.She took care of me so meticulously, as if she were taking care of a sick child, which often made me feel embarrassed.Both Yoshiko and the Duke took good care of me in their attitude towards me, but the Duke's behavior was condescending and undeniable, which made me completely dissatisfied with his actions even though I knew his true intentions.Yoshiko's control is an equal way as a wife, and even the objections are mostly suggestions, and I don't want to embarrass me in everything.Conversely, since I have no special requirements or taboos on many aspects, out of a sense of responsibility and repaying her, I might as well satisfy my wife's requirements as much as possible.

"Look at you, butter is sticking to your mouth, you don't seem to have grown up, but you speak so nicely. People like you have always been very attractive to girls." Although her gestures are gentle, they can't change my feeling of being attracted. Facts of injustice: "Where did it all come from. Where does this 'always' come from? There has always been only one Miss Gong." That was my teaching assistant who joined the job a year ago and confessed to me not long ago that I was fooled by her. We were so confused, except for the topic of work, we never talked once in a serious day. "I told you, I've turned her down, and that's the end of the matter."

"But speaking of it, I haven't seen her in the past few days, and I don't know what's going on."

"Probably resigned." Liangzi said in a convincing tone: "I gave up after being rejected by you. I am too embarrassed to continue working by your side." I was dubious.Even so, it was somewhat rude to resign and leave without saying a word.

I raised my wrist to look at my watch. It was time to go to work. I quickly drank the warm milk on the table.Ryoko had already tidied up, and tied my tie after I rinsed my mouth, so that the tie was placed across the front of the neck between the two collars, not loose or tight, just right.Yoshiko closed her eyes, and I lowered my head to kiss her trembling eyelids.I was not such a romantic person in the first place, but she insisted on doing so, and now it has become a habit.

After thinking about it carefully, everything started to happen that morning. I must have had some kind of premonition in my heart about Liangzi’s behavior, so that her behavior of bringing the child back did not seem too abrupt.

16. Bad boy 02

"Are you back?" Ryoko's voice came from the bathroom in a distant place.I put the briefcase on the shoe cabinet, and bent over in the hallway to put on the slippers with one hand. "came back."

Often at this time, Ryoko would be cooking in the kitchen, and she would accurately grasp the moment when I would return home, and the meal would be ready immediately within 5 minutes, but today was uncharacteristically. "What are you doing?" I followed the voice to the bathroom, and heard Yoshiko's gentle reassurance before my eyes reached it: "Don't worry, Uncle is back." I pushed open the frosted glass door, and the inside was filled with hot fog. The smoke was rising, and two beautiful porcelain-white faces, one big and one small, turned to look at me in unison.

Yoshiko was squatting by the bathtub, holding a bath flower in her hand, the bathtub was full of foam that was overflowing, and the air was filled with the pleasant aroma of roses.A small black head protruded from the thick and light foam.At first I thought it was a thin puppy, but when I saw it clearly, I realized it was a little boy, about eight or nine years old, with a timid expression and round eyes, like a little black bear that had just grown its full fur.

"Whose child is this?" I washed my hands with soap by the sink, and turned on the tap to wash off the foam from my hands.

"Our family." A relaxed, joking tone.I looked at Ryoko and raised an eyebrow, "What do you say?"

Yoshiko made the child lie on his back on the edge of the bathtub, and washed his hair with shampoo on the bath flower. "I wanted to buy flowers today, and I ran into him selling flower baskets on the street. I talked with him for a while. His parents have passed away, and he worked so hard to make a living. It's pitiful. Our family just lacks a child. Thinking about it, I'm right." He said, come to our house and treat it as your own. Then he came together." The child looked at me with his swarthy eyes, and Ryoko carefully wiped the water stains that were about to slip into his eyes with a towel, " Do you agree?"

"There is nothing to disagree with." I replied, still feeling rather strange and hasty.for
