Middle-aged Love Patch

Just as Xu Youyuan sat down among a group of friends, she took off the access crystal from her temple, and before she put the bag away, she heard the person opposite say:

"I haven't done anything with her for two years."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

The friend said: "Two years? Really or not, haven't you done it at all? How is it possible? Do you remember how the two of you dismantled my sofa?"

"That was all ten years ago." The person who complains about himself is called A Gan. He was thin when he was young, and he is even thinner now. The two bruises under his eyes have never faded. When you fall, you will faint. People are thinner than hemp sticks.

When she said this, she couldn't see any emotion on her face, just like casually mentioning other people's affairs.

The listeners couldn't sit still: "After ten years, you two are still the two of you. I mean, let's put aside the quality, nothing happened for two years? You and Chen Shu, covered with a quilt Just chatting, how is it possible! The most powerful people in our circle are you and her. Don’t say that you still expect to be as passionate as you were when you were in your 20s. We have to calculate the desired feeling effect as long as we manage it.”

"No, not at all. The last time I did it was very unhappy, and no one mentioned it again after that." A Gan shrugged.

"Ever tried?"

"I don't have the mind to work hard on this kind of thing." A Gan said, "When we were together in our early twenties, we hadn't graduated from college, and the money was given by our family. We didn't have to go to work, so there was no need to worry so much. Now, I am tired of going to work every day. Like a dog, I just want to rest when I come home from work, and I don’t want to do anything. But sometimes it’s good not to talk about rest, but not to keep spinning. When I came home that day, the house was full of shredded paper that was bitten by Abu waiting for me Clean up. Chen Shu will be home soon, the food hasn’t been cooked yet, and just after sweeping the shredded paper, he found a pile of stinky dog ​​shit. When cleaning up, Abu was there and didn’t know why he was so excited. He flicked his tail at me, and I wanted collapsed."

"Wait a minute, the last time you did something very unhappy? How can you be unhappy?" Someone cared about the point.

A Gan looked at these friends who had been friends since middle school and grew up wearing the same pair of pants. After thinking for a while, he was not afraid of being laughed at by everyone, and said bluntly: "Chen Shu fell asleep halfway through the work, and I was a little distracted." , thinking about the old toilet leaking at home, and the water bill was so high last month, I had to go to the property management to fix it. The property management in the old community didn't know what was wrong. We knew that we were not owners but tenants, and we didn't care every time. I I don't like dealing with them either. I don't know why I thought of it at the time. If it wasn't for Chen Shu's loud snoring that woke him up, and the two stared at each other, no one would have noticed in the end. Something is wrong."

"puff."

Someone couldn't help laughing out loud, and immediately received the condemnation of everyone.

"I don't think the problem is here." A well-meaning person planned to comfort A Gan, "Let's replace this kind of thing with a couple with the best relationship. After a long time, it is easy to have it. It's not just you and Chen Shu. You have been in love for ten years. , have been married for five or six years, right? Those who hold their left hand and right hand should think about how to add some novelty."

Some people also objected: "Can't two people stay together just by freshness? It's only been ten years, and there are still several decades to come. No amount of freshness will be used up."

"Yes, you can't just rely on novelty, but it's even worse without novelty. Listen to me. I think novelty is one thing, and the more important thing is..." My friend looked at A Gan, "You and Chen Shu are so If you are busy, you should try to avoid trivial things that waste your energy. If you are so tired from work and go home to cook? Who still cooks by themselves now, how convenient it is to order takeaway."

A Gan said: "Chen Shu has a sensitive stomach, and she is prone to diarrhea when she eats outside food. She has to deal with the boss, Party A, every day, and she is a fucking fucker. If she feels uncomfortable and can't concentrate, she will take it out on me. There's nowhere to spread the fire."

"What fire do you have?"

"Lao Zhang is on top of me. If she doesn't leave, I can't get promoted. I am 32 years old, and I will be 33 next year. This is still my first birthday. The current position is neither high nor low. It is a waste of time to continue to waste time. Thirty In the blink of an eye, I really have no chance if I don’t go up.”

"Then you move?"

"Moving is something that can be done with just a word of mouth. Everyone knows the employment situation, and there are very few jobs left for us. It's not that I haven't submitted a resume. People who I like don't care about me, and people who don't like me don't care. I don't want to make a living."

"How disrespectful?"

"The office is located in a sinking area, what do you think?"

Everyone at the scene said "Hey" in unison: "Don't go to the sinking area. Didn't there be an indiscriminate murder case a while ago? The news has been reported for a while and there is no more details."

"I have a friend who is in the police station. I heard that the top has put a lot of pressure on it, but the police in the sinking area have never had a clue, and no terrorist organization has claimed it. The chief of the police station has resigned, and no one has taken over yet. Now that It's even messier than before."

"Let's not talk about that for now, Ah Gan, let's continue talking about you and Chen Shu." Someone brought the topic back, "Is there no other choice besides working in the sinking area? If not, ask Mr. Xu for help. "

Everyone's eyes fell on Xu Youyuan. Before Xu Youyuan could speak, Shi Ye rushed to talk: "The industry is too different."

A Gan also shook his head: "I'm in traditional retail, and I don't understand the games made by Xiaoyuan at all. The interlacing is like a mountain. Traditional retail has been impacted for so many years, and the market has shrunk long ago. Now there are no People’s supermarkets and one-hour express delivery are fast and cheap, and the return of goods is also convenient. We can’t compare. There are a large number of layoffs in my industry every year, and it is too difficult to find a job with a similar salary.”

"You switch online too."

"Without experience in online sales, who cares about me?"

A friend complained: "You are a whole person who can't be high or low."

"Don't say it, it's true." A Gan admitted, "It's impossible to change careers. At my age, let alone consider childbearing issues, no one is willing to teach me from scratch. I can't move or go. Lao Zhang is me. It is impossible to pry the Wuzhi Mountain above the head. If you want to change the road, all the roads are cliffs. There is only one narrow path leading to a dilapidated village.

"You said let me lower the requirements and go to the sinking area to do a job of 2 yuan a month? Yes, I won't starve to death, but the salary is half of the current salary. It is difficult to change from luxury to frugality. It is nothing now Extravagance, not to mention lowering the standard even further, even Chen Shu would not agree if I could grit my teeth and hold on."

"That's why I haven't done it for two years..."

"Anxiety is endless every day. I can't sleep at night and can't wake up during the day. I lose a lot of hair. Why do I have to think about it. When I went out with her, I didn't realize that there was someone beside me until a long time later. No one said a word along the way, they were all thinking about their own affairs. Sometimes when I thought of the other party, I wanted to find something to talk about, but I felt tired of talking, and it was easy to argue, so I just didn’t say anything.”

Shi Ye, who was sitting next to Xu Youyuan, took a sip of coffee and shook his head again and again: "Ah Gan is even thinner like a pole now."

Ah Gan smiled wryly: "It's still a pole that breaks when you break it. Look at my nails."

She opened her fingers, and her friends came up and saw that there was a clear depression on her yellowish nails, almost on every nail.

"You are lacking energy and blood, it's a bit serious." Shi Ye said, "You have to go and check it out, don't delay, in case there are other problems..."

"I want to go, but I don't have the time or the mood, and I can't get motivated to do anything."

"You're not depressed, are you?"

"It's possible." Ah Gan lowered his head and finished a whole cup of black coffee.

"I have my troubles, and Chen Shu also has his own difficulties. We both know that the other party is having a hard time, but there is no desire to communicate. We have said everything that should be said, and persuaded everything that should be persuaded. There is no improvement. Knowing is all a waste of effort. , as time goes by, I don’t want to speak. In fact, the root cause is that I have no drive. She said that I either have no other way, or I don’t want to make progress, and I don’t want to leave my comfort zone. I know she’s right, and I don’t Rebuttal. Instead of risking resignation and going to the sinking area, it is better to stay in the current company, at least everything is familiar, and the salary is enough to maintain the current life. When you open your eyes and think that the rent of [-] a month can barely be paid Sometimes I can catch my breath.

"Chen Shu was very disappointed with me and felt that I was not self-motivated. As for me, I felt that she was not at home at all and didn't care about me. Let alone doing that, she didn't talk more than five sentences a day, and she hated each other. "

After Ah Gan finished speaking, everyone present was thoughtful. Everyone drank the coffee and tea in front of them, and no one spoke for a while.

The friends present were of the same age, they were all over the age of 30 and had reached a watershed in their lives. Every time they got together, they complained about the three things they couldn’t live without: health, work, and relationships.

A pole seems to have understood it, and it is not a struggle.What she said to her friends has been circulated in her mind hundreds of times, and she has talked to herself thousands of times.

Xu Youyuan leaned on the soft sofa cushions, Shi Ye asked her what she wanted to drink, latte?

"Let's have a cup of black tea." She said, "I won't be able to sleep at night with coffee at this hour."

"Ah Gan's matter is really nothing." Jiang Yun, who had been silent for a long time, drank two glasses of wine, and his cheeks were slightly flushed, said, "It's better not to do it for two years than to have a Hulunbeier prairie above your head. "

Everyone once again turned their attention to her in disbelief. Seeing that her cheeks were flushed, she was slightly drunk, her eyes were staring straight at the table, her chest rose and fell from time to time, as if there was a bad breath in her heart, and her eyes were full of pain. is hate.

"No way..." Seeing Jiang Yun's appearance, the girlfriends, who were already inconceivable that A Gan and Chen Shu hadn't done this for two years, already guessed a bit from her words, "Could it be that Wu Zhuo cheated on her? "

Jiang Yun smiled and nodded: "It's amazing to say it, you have no idea how I found out."

Everyone immediately pricked up their ears.

"Wu Zhuo's company has an annual meeting at the end of each year. You can bring your family members to the annual meeting. I go there. You all know that. Her colleagues basically recognize me.

"At the end of last year, I participated as usual, and then a young girl from their company looked at me for no reason, and I asked Wu Zhuo who that was. Wu Zhuo said he was new here, and asked me why I asked her, I didn't say anything, so I just asked casually. At that time, I felt that something was wrong, but I couldn't explain it, and then I forgot."

Everyone: "Have you checked your eyes, is it the one who greened you?"

Jiang Yun rolled his eyes, and then said: "Isn't my dad sick a while ago, so I asked for leave and went back to my hometown to accompany my dad. I usually let me take a taxi to the station by myself, but this time I was very considerate and drove me there personally. The station. As soon as the car hit the vacuum track, I thought, this is not right. It feels familiar.

"Wu Zhuo will send me good night every night, and it will never be shaken. It will be the same for the few days when I go home. Every night at eleven o'clock on time, the fluctuation basically does not exceed 15 minutes." Jiang Yun took a sip of his friend's tea, moistened Moisten his throat and continued, "Our work and life are stable at this age, and the routine of work and rest is not easy to break, we all know it well..."

Someone couldn't help interjecting: "Wu Zhuo's good night was late one night?"

Jiang Yun shook his head.

"Didn't post it at all?"

"No." Jiang Yun said, "She posted more than an hour early, and said she was tired, so she went to bed first."

Everyone was silent, and there was understanding in the silence.

Jiang Yun said: "I didn't sleep all night. Besides thinking about who Wu Zhuo, the bastard, was with, I was thinking more about my dad. The doctor said that my dad needs implantation and radiation therapy. Cutting-edge treatment method, the effect is the best among all the current plans. But it is expensive, really expensive, I almost kneel when I heard that number. The doctor said that with other plans, the survival rate within three years is 30%, and the survival rate with implantation and radiation therapy The rate is 80%, which is very promising. As for the cost, I sold the house, put up the savings, and borrowed a little more, which is equivalent to wiping out all the savings I have saved since I went to work. It’s just that after five years, there will still be lesions The risk of death is also very high, and the doctor said it clearly. To put it bluntly, it is whether I want to exchange all my property for my dad's life span for a few years.

"I'm the only one who makes up my mind at home. I dare not tell my dad. I'm still thinking about Wu Zhuo. I'm upset."

Friends said: "Why didn't you tell us."

"Isn't this afraid of you worrying? I originally wanted to complain to you when I came back this time, but I didn't expect to be hit head-on when I came back."
