Time flies, and pedestrians on the street wrap themselves up in winter clothes.
The winter in Shanghai is very cold, although the minimum temperature is not particularly low, unlike in the north where it often reaches minus ten degrees Celsius.
But I can't stand the blowing of the evil wind.
The cold wind blows on the body, just like a knife, and the cut is painful.
In the early morning of this day, just after dawn, Feng Xiaoqin rode a battery car and walked through the streets to a nearby vegetable market.
It was very cold, and she wanted to warm herself in bed for a while, but if she didn't do it, no one at home would do it.
She doesn't feel bad when others are hungry, but the child cannot be hungry. If there is another one, her sister cannot be hungry either.
The two of them, one goes to school and the other goes to work. They are both working very hard. If they can't do the logistics work well, how can they be in a good state to cope with school/work?
“How much does celery cost today?”
Arriving at a vegetable stall, Feng Xiaoqin grabbed a handful of celery and asked about the price.
"Eight yuan a pound."
"Eight dollars?"
Feng Xiaoqin said in an exaggerated tone: "Are you robbing money?"
“If you can afford it, eat it; if you can’t afford it, don’t eat it!”
The owner of this vegetable stall is new. He just ordered a stall. He is not in a particularly good mood today. He just had a fight with his wife last night.
Therefore, his tone of voice was a little bit aggressive.
"you!"
On the other side, when Feng Xiaoqin heard this, her eyes burst into flames with anger.
"How did you talk?"
What a coincidence, she was not in a very good mood today. Last night, the Gu family had another small meeting behind her back.
Without any surprise, the topic of the meeting was her, or rather her sister.
When Feng Xiaoqin walked to the door, she happened to hear Gu Qingyu warning Mr. Gu and Gu Lei not to buy the insurance sold by his sister.
At that time, Feng Xiaoqin almost rushed in to argue with Gu Qingyu.
If you don’t want to buy it, then don’t buy it. Why slander the insurance her sister sells as a scam?
That’s serious insurance, not a lie!
It's not impossible not to buy it, but Gu Qingyu shouldn't spread rumors and slander his sister's motives.
"Hey!"
Seeing that Feng Xiaoqin's tone was a little higher, the stall owner immediately became unhappy and snorted.
"Are you looking for trouble?"
"If you want to buy it, buy it quickly. If you don't want to buy it, don't stand here and block my business!"
As he said that, the stall owner took a look at Feng Xiaoqin's clothes and whispered.
"A poor guy."
"Do you have any business like this?"
Feng Xiaoqin blurted out the retort: "Keep your mouth clean and don't spray shit all over it."
Both of them spoke loudly, and many people had already noticed their quarrel. Seeing that many people were looking at this, the stall owner waved his hand.
"Go away! I don't care about you! I won't do your business anymore!"
"you……"
Feng Xiaoqin was shaking with anger, pointed at the stall owner and shouted.
"What did you say?"
"If you dare, say what you just said again!"
Poor guy?
There is no doubt that these two words touched Feng Xiaoqin's pain point.
Isn't her current situation all caused by money?
If she had money, how could she have suffered like this.
In the Gu family, she was just like the old ladies who worked part-time, getting up early and working late every day, finishing one meal and then the next.
Even if she is busy, she is still being guarded by the Gu family.
She would secretly hold small meetings when she had nothing to do. Sometimes, she really missed her soul.
What a bully!
But it's easier said than done.
After getting married, she became a full-time mother. If she really got divorced, how would she support herself? How would she support her two sons?
Even if she cruelly left the little tiger in the Gu family, she would not be able to support Feng Danian alone.
Every time the thought of divorce arises, the embarrassment of reality brings Feng Xiaoqin back to her original shape.
Who doesn’t want to live a carefree life?
Feng Xiaoqin thought too, but there were conditions for living a free and unrestrained life. It was already very difficult for a working girl from other places to settle in Shanghai.
The stall owner on the side no longer intends to talk to Feng Xiaoqin. If he really quarrels with him, will he still do business?
What's more, when a gay man quarreled with a lesbian, he was still weak even if he was justified, let alone being unreasonable.
"say!"
Feng Xiaoqin took a step forward, spoke louder and reluctantly.
"You must speak clearly today, otherwise the two of us will never end!"
While Feng Xiaoqin was having a heated argument with the stall owner, Gu Lei was still immersed in his dream. He was heartless and never thought about what was and was not.
In his opinion, just live the life in front of you.
When he was in school, he was also a sixty-sixty-year-old kind of person.
It's easy to change a person's nature, but it's hard to change his character. After so many years, his character can no longer be changed.
Not long after, Gu Lei's eyelids raised. When he opened his eyes, he first glanced at the time, and then shouted at the top of his lungs.
"Wife?"
Seeing no response from outside, Gu Lei turned over and closed his eyes again, planning to take a nap.
He didn't set the alarm clock specifically because his wife would wake him up when the time came.
"Gu Lei!"
"Gu Lei!"
While wandering around the lake, Gu Lei felt someone shaking him, and the voice in his ear was very familiar, as if it belonged to his old man.
"dad?"
Gu Lei opened his eyes and saw that it wasn't the old man standing next to his bed.
"What time is it now? You are still sleeping. Do you still want to go to work today?"
Mr. Gu glared at him and then asked.
"Have you seen Xiaoqin?"
"Xiaoqin?"
Gu Lei looked confused and said, "Isn't she outside?"
"If she was outside, would I still ask you?"
Mr. Gu shook his head helplessly and said angrily.
While talking, Gu Lei turned his head and glanced at the alarm clock beside the bed.
08:05.
"Get up quickly, little tiger will be late for school."
After saying these words, Mr. Gu turned around and walked away, muttering to himself as he walked out.
Where has the daughter-in-law gone?
I left home early in the morning, but I haven't come back yet, and I can't get through the phone.
Did it go somewhere?
I don’t even know how to say hello to my family.
Immediately afterwards, Gu Lei got up in a panic, got dressed, picked up his cell phone and called his wife.
As a result, the call could not be connected.
Immediately, Gu Lei changed his method and started a video call, but the result was the same as before, no one answered.
"Where has Xiaoqin gone?"
Gu Lei whispered softly.
"Gu Lei, hurry up, little tiger will be late for school."
Before he had time to think about it, the old man's urging voice came into the bedroom. Upon hearing this, Gu Lei hurriedly ran out without even having time to brush his teeth.
If you don't send the child off, you will really be late.
When I walked out of the room, I saw that the little tiger had put on a thick school uniform and was waiting at the door with his schoolbag on his back.
"Dad, where is my mother?"
The first thing the little tiger said when he saw Gu Lei was to ask about his mother.
