Qu Dajiang and his wife have been hospitable for decades in their life. They have invited people to dinner ten times, and at least nine times they are sincere. It is rare to have a polite word and win a prize.

Now Gao Xiuyue regrets that it was too late to say such kind words, and she can't drive Chang Jian away again.

Fortunately, during the Spring Festival, the refrigerator at home is full of all kinds of ingredients, so there is no need to bother to go out to buy, which saves trouble.

Gao Xiuyue didn't have a good rest last night, and she wasn't in a good mood. Qu Dajiang took the initiative to wear an apron and cook a few simple home-cooked dishes for Chang Jian. Song Ye went to cut the stewed meat and sausages.

Qu's parents still like Chang Jian very much. They used to be colleagues with Chang Jian's parents, and they watched Chang Jian grow up from a small bean to his thirties. This kind of affection is very special, including their love for Wen Cong and other factory leaders. The children in the courtyard have this kind of special emotion that can only be cultivated through years of collective life. The adults will treat these children as children of relatives, and the children will also respect many adults as very close elders.

At the dinner table, the three men of the Qu family were all silent, only Chang Jian and Gao Xiuyue exchanged words with each other.

"Aunt Gao has lost weight," Chang Jian said. "I saw you last time. There is still a little flesh on the cheeks. Now she is thin and has a small melon-shaped face. Is she mad at you again? He is the only one who beats the children in our hospital." If you are disobedient, tell Aunt Gao if you have something to do, and I will clean him up for you."

He couldn't directly say "I know what happened to your family", he wanted to bring the topic to Qu Liaoyuan first.

Gao Xiuyue didn't answer at all, and asked, "Is your mother still taking care of the child?"

It was about the child of Chang Jian and his ex-wife Zhao Man, who was over three years old. Chang Jian gave Zhao Man the house and the car, and only had the child.

Chang Jian said: "The grandma is taking care of the child, my mother is not in good health."

Gao Xiuyue said: "Then you intend to remarry Xiao Zhao?"

Chang Jian said: "That's not...it's not there yet."

The implication is that there are still signs of remarriage.

Gao Xiuyue suddenly said with emotion: "Look, it's better to have a child. If there is no child, the marriage will be divorced. How can there be any hope of remarriage? It's just that there is a child who will tie the two together. We can’t separate you and me, we can’t do without children, we can’t live long.”

Chang Jian: "..."

Gao Xiuyue's words were not meant for him, but clearly meant for her younger brothers.

Qu Dajiang poured wine into everyone's glasses, picked up the glasses himself, and said, "Happy New Year."

The three juniors also took up their cups, Gao Xiuyue also took up the cups, only for Chang Jian.

After drinking, Qu Liaoyuan saw that Song Ye's glass had bottomed out, and looked at his face again, worried that he might get drunk.He shook his head at Qu Liaoyuan, indicating that he was fine.

"Aunt Gao, what you say is not quite right," Chang Jian said, "The most important thing is that I can't let go of Zhao Man. It's not just for the sake of children. Marriage is for love, not for birth."

Gao Xiuyue said: "Emotions are all novelty. The novelty can't last a lifetime. You still need children to maintain it. If you don't have children, is it still called home?"

"Just him," she pointed at Qu Liaoyuan without looking at her, and said, "Xiao Qu'er has been going to school these past few years, and your uncle and I are at home, so we don't have much to say. The house is quiet all day long, like No one is the same, the house will be lively until he comes back during the winter and summer vacations. There is nothing wrong with your uncle and I. We have known each other for decades, and seeing each other all day is almost exhausting, so there is nothing else to say. If I didn't have children, I would have passed this kind of life a long time ago."

Qu Dajiang: "...Chang Jian, eat vegetables, don't just talk."

Chang Jian said: "It also makes sense, but a stable marriage still pays attention to balance. You can't give too much unilaterally for too long. I did something wrong before. Like Zhao Man and I, we definitely didn't divorce because we didn't have children. I personally feel that Yes, once he is born, he becomes very important. If he is not born and there is no such child in the family, then he is not so important... Besides, is it difficult to really want to have a child? All problems can be solved. Gao Aunt, don't make things too difficult for them because of this reason."

In fact, the two of them played charades for a long time, how could Gao Xiuyue fail to feel that he was an insider, and said, "I am making things difficult for them? You mean to let me watch them mess around?"

"How is this nonsense?" Chang Jian said, "I want to go to Tsinghua University and Peking University if I want to go on such a nonsense."

Gao Xiuyue said, "Don't talk too far."

Chang Jian said: "Not far. If you find an inappropriate person, your life becomes worse, and your study and work become worse and worse, then this love must be a bad thing, and you are looking for the wrong person. What is the situation between the two of them now?" Kind of like it, right?"

Gao Xiuyue had nothing to say about this point for a while, and said, "Don't just talk about the present, what will you do in the future? You are still in school now, and you will enter the society in the future. Originally, you should be a good person, but because of this reason, others look down on you. Is it a good thing?" ?”

"Who would look down on them?" Chang Jian said, "Nowadays, society is diverse, with such rapid development, and ideas are advancing rapidly. Thirty years ago, divorce was also looked down upon by others. Now divorce is not only for the parties, but also for Is it still a big deal for others? 'That so-and-so is divorced, let's make fun of him'?"

Gao Xiuyue disagreed and said, "Can it be the same? It's not the same thing."

Chang Jian said: "The nature of the matter is different, but it is the same thing in social evaluation. Divorce was different 30 years ago. Social development was slow, and people had less knowledge. The upper limit of acceptance of freedom of marriage is lower than it is now. After 30 years, divorce will be a very small matter, because everyone knows that it will have very little impact on individual life and the whole society. It is the same when it comes to Song Ye and others. Of course, there are still voices of opposition , has become smaller, and will become smaller and smaller in the future, which is the progress of social civilization."

Qu Dajiang heard this, and said: "That is, social civilization is about to improve, so don't drive back."

"Why should I reverse the car?" Gao Xiuyue said angrily, "You already knew it, and Chang Jian knew it long ago, and you still kept it from them, just treat me as a fool or a blind person, and I'm the last one. Uncivilized, isn't it?"

It is impossible to solve the matter satisfactorily at once.

When Chang Jian was leaving, Gao Xiuyue went back to the room and sulked, and didn't come out to see off the guests.

Qu Liaoyuan and Song Ye sent Chang Jian downstairs together.

"I don't think it's a big deal," Chang Jian said. "It's not that Aunt Gao can't accept this. I'm afraid it was too sudden. She wasn't mentally prepared, and she was kept in the dark by you and Uncle Qu, and was deceived." feel bad."

Qu Liaoyuan said: "Thank you, Brother Jian."

Chang Jian looked at Song Ye who was silent, and asked, "Are you all right? Did you drink too much?"

Song Ye was a bit over the top, but still sober, said: "It's okay, just go back and sleep for a while. Thank you Brother Jian."

"I haven't asked you two yet, are you going to go abroad? Or are you looking for a job in China?" Chang Jian asked.

"Go abroad." Song Ye said.

Chang Jian also thought it should be so, and asked casually: "Xiao Qu'er doesn't want to be a policeman anymore?"

Qu Liaoyuan didn't sleep all night, when asked, he answered: "Yes, I still want to be."

Chang Jian smiled and said, "What else are you thinking about? Study hard."

Qu Liaoyuan: "...um."

Chang Jian said: "I'm leaving first, I have other things to do in the afternoon."

Watching him go away, Qu Liaoyuan said: "Let's go back too, you need to sleep for a while, you drank several cups today."

"Wait a minute." Song Ye looked at him a little confused, and said, "Why did I ask you if you want to be a policeman, and you listened to me, but Brother Jian asked you if you wanted to, and the answer was different?"
