When I was in college, I had a very good brother. We ate together, took classes online, stayed up all night in the bar, and even signed up for the same employer when we graduated. On the way to report to the work unit by train, the sharp-tongued brother struck up a conversation with a beautiful girl. The two had a good conversation. The girl immediately changed the route and got off the train and left with my brother. After settling in at the work unit, the two of them lived together and were inseparable every day. With an introverted personality and low emotional intelligence, I haven't had a girlfriend for a long time. My brother encouraged me and said that he would wait until we get married and have children together. This moved me to the point of "crying". Four years later, I finally found my partner, and my brother kept his promise and never held a wedding or gave birth to a child.
"Let's wait until we are 30 years old before we have children. We will be free for another two years. If we have two girls or sons, let them marry each other. If there is a boy and a girl, we will marry each other." My brother said to me with a playful smile, When I heard that, I was shocked. In what age are you still doing this? But my brother turned serious and said, "Seriously, you can take it seriously."
In the next two years, we went shopping, ate, and traveled together, and our world was inseparable. Carefree and surrounded by friends, I spent the best time of my life.
The good times always feel very short, people always have to grow up, and our parents can’t wait and keep urging us. When we are around 30 years old, we finally decide to pursue a "real career". We took out a loan to buy a house together, with one unit and one floor for east-west households. The men exercise together, and the women eat folic acid together. The two daughters-in-law were both very happy and became pregnant at about the same time. Let me tell you something special: I succeeded in one try, which is amazing, haha.
There are always accidents. My brother’s wife had an unexpected miscarriage when she was three months old. The doctor explained that it was probably because of physical problems. We were all very sad, but my brother remained optimistic and said, "Two years of delay will not delay them from becoming husband and wife."
However, three years have passed, and despite all the efforts, there is still no result. Later, I tried to make " test tube ", but God still did not follow people's wishes. The brother remained optimistic despite this situation. Although he was suffering in his heart, he could not see anything on the outside. But his wife slowly changed. She took medicine for a long time and became very fat. She quit her job and stayed at home and stopped going out. She used to like my child quite a bit and even asked her to call her "Mom". The child often went to her house to play. Later, when the child knocked on the door to play, no one opened the door.
were busy with their own affairs in the next few years, but they became a lot estranged from each other, and the two families no longer had the tacit understanding they had before, maybe because of the children. She still stays at home. When I see her occasionally, I feel that her whole person has changed. She is no longer the lively and cheerful girl before. There is a kind of "scary" feeling in her eyes.
Once I just arrived home and saw a scene that puzzled me. She was at the door of my house with her child. She seemed to have her hand on the child's neck, mumbling something. When she heard someone coming up, she quickly withdrew her hand. Close the door and go home. I asked the child what "aunt" was doing, and the child said that she touched his neck and said some unintelligible words. In the following days, she knocked on my door for no reason, saying that the child was too noisy and that she couldn't sleep. It was clear that the child was not at home or had gone to bed long ago, but she just didn't believe it and kept knocking on the door. . The brother said that she did have a psychological problem and could never get over the thought of not having a child. I also sympathized with the couple, and felt very uncomfortable.
In the days after, her condition went up and down, and knocking on the door happened from time to time, which made me very worried that she would do some unimaginable things to my children, although she is a very kind person by nature. So I tried my best to get a commercial loan and bought another house. I didn't expect that due to the "epidemic", I would be unable to pay the house. Now the relationship between the two families is gradually becoming more and more awkward. Although nothing dangerous happened, I also know that both of them are good people and they still have so many years of friendship.I have been thinking about renting a house for a long time. The psychological and financial pressures are so great. Life is unpredictable. How could I have expected that things would develop like this? I didn’t know what to do for a while.
