Guizhen was sitting on the bench. She looked into the distance and saw a pair of gray-haired old people walking hand in hand. She was a little envious.
After sitting for a long time, she looked at the time. It was already getting late. She hesitated whether to go to the hotel or to her best friend's place. After thinking for a long time, she finally picked up her mobile phone and called her best friend: "Can I stay at your place these days?"
Her best friend knew that Guizhen must have had a conflict with Lao Shen, so she did not hesitate and agreed immediately: "Guizhen, come here, I will clean up a house for you."
Guizhen went to her best friend's place, and her best friend made her some delicious food. Guizhen was a little absent-minded while eating. She always looked at the mobile phone on the table with her peripheral vision. Her best friend looked at it and smiled: "What? Still worried about Lao Shen?"
Guizhen was stubborn and refused to admit it. Her best friend asked her: "You two were fine, why did you suddenly run away from home? What are your plans for the future?" After hearing this, Guizhen burst into tears. She put her hands on her chin and cried aggrievedly.
Guizhen said while crying: "I just really annoy him. He keeps nagging in my ear like a bee every day. No matter how well I do, I can never meet his requirements. I am tired and don't want to continue like this."
"Have you thought about it?" her best friend asked her.
Guizhen said: "I have thought about it. This time I want to live for myself completely. I don't want to hang around him all day."
Her best friend smiled and nodded: "No matter what decision you make, I will support you."
After staying at her best friend's house for two days, Guizhen still wanted to go home and have a good talk with Lao Shen. After she returned home, she couldn't help but frown when she saw the mess all over the house. When Lao Shen saw her coming back, he made a sarcastic remark: "Li Guizhen, when you left that day, what did you promise me? You said you would never come back. Why are you thinking about coming back after only two days?" After saying this, he still looked proud.
"I have something to talk to you about. I think there is a problem between us and we need to be separated for a while."
Old Shen jumped up when he heard this: "Li Guizhen, don't shame you. Don't you want to live a good life? You are still thinking about separation. Is there someone outside? Since you are thinking about separation, you can't just leave. Why are you coming back?" Guizhen heard this and became angry. Immediately came,
the two started to quarrel again, and Lao Shen shouted: "Okay, don't we just want to separate? It's best if we divorce. Without you, I, Lao Shen, can still live a good life, don't think that you are anything special."
The two people who were angry picked up their things and went straight to the Civil Affairs Bureau. The moment they were printed, the couple took their respective divorce certificates and left without looking back.
Back to her best friend, another best friend also came over after hearing the news. They wanted to accompany Guizhen through this difficult time.
While eating, Guizhen, who had never drank, started drinking. Her best friend comforted her: "Don't be sad. Let's be single women again. We won't have to think about cooking for him or serving him anymore. How great!" Guizhen was amused by her best friend's words.
A few days after the divorce, her best friend quietly asked Guizhen: "Lao Shen didn't send you a WeChat message? Nor did he call you?" Guizhen shook her head in disappointment.
"His old Shen is so cruel. How hard it is for us women! We have to give birth to children, and we have to work hard to raise them. We also have to serve their children, eat, drink, and have sex. As a woman, you get old by doing this." After hearing what her best friend said, Guizhen couldn't help but burst into tears.
When her daughter returned to her parents' home, she saw that the usually tidy house was in a mess, with clothes scattered everywhere on the sofa. She tidied up the house silently.
The daughter said to Lao Shen: "Dad, have you made my mother angry? You said that you are so old and my mother has been putting up with you, can't you step back and take my mother back?"
Old Shen heard this and disagreed: "It's your mother who doesn't want this home, not me."
Old Shen's old friends found out about his affairs and advised him: "Hurry up and take Li Guizhen back! The longer time goes by, the more disappointed she will be. If you want to take her back in the future, you won't be given a chance.
Old Shen felt that what the old man said was a bit alarmist: "I don't know about her Li Guizhen yet. Although she got angry with me and withdrew her certificate, you see, it won't be long before she comes to beg me." "
Since he and Guizhen divorced, old Shen Tian went to restaurants all over the world, but within a few days he found that he had a stomachache after eating too much out.
He had to cook at home. He opened the cabinet and found that there were several pots inside, and the oil bottle was empty. He hesitated for a long time before calling Guizhen: "Which pot should I use for cooking? Where do you keep the oil at home? "
Guizhen smiled proudly. After she told Lao Shen slowly, she hung up the phone before Lao Shen finished asking.
Lao Shen on the other end of the phone completely lost her temper. She pursed her lips and started cooking.
She looked at the thickly chopped carrots she had cut. Thinking of Guizhen cutting them evenly every time, Lao Shen thought of Guizhen's goodness.
Lao Shen was busy in the kitchen for a while, looking at a few pieces of blackened carrots, and said to himself: "Every time I see Li Guizhen doing this with a shovel, the dish is ready in a few strokes, and it is very delicious. I didn't expect it to be so difficult." "
The weather has changed recently, and Lao Shen wanted to get a coat to add to it. But he opened the closet and saw clothes hanging neatly inside. He searched around and couldn't find his autumn clothes.
In the past, as long as he asked, Guizhen would send the clothes to him.
He called Guizhen again, this time his tone was much gentler: "Guizhen, where did you put my coat? And where do you put my underwear and socks? "
Guizhen accurately told the location of the clothes and hung up the phone.
After finding the clothes, Lao Shen came to the living room and threw a lot of clothes on the sofa. He hadn't washed clothes for several days, and the floor was already a little sticky. His mind was full of Guizhen's shadow.
In the past, when Guizhen was here, the house was kept spotless and the clothes were neatly folded. At this time, he and Guizhen would sit on the sofa and watch TV together. At that time, they would keep arguing about a role.
Now he was alone in the huge house. He came to the edge of the sofa and sat down. , turn on the TV and make some noise at home.
He looked at the almost empty fruits on the coffee table. If Guizhen were here, she would clean up the kitchen and peel two fruits for him.
He still decided to improve the hygiene at home. After working for an hour, he felt like his waist was about to break. It turned out that Guizhen did it every day but never complained to him.
It has been autumn these days, and his skin has become dry and itchy again. There is no moisturizer at home because he has skin allergies, so Guizhen used to prepare it for him.
After he finished his work, he picked up the phone, thought about it and put it down again. He couldn't let go, so he finally called Guizhen: "Guizhen, it's getting cold, please pay more attention to yourself. "
After hearing this, her best friend smiled knowingly. Guizhen stopped holding it. She told Lao Shen: "The weather is dry and your skin is allergic. I bought you the moisturizing lotion you usually put on and put it in the drawer of your bedside table. Remember to use it on time! "Lao Shen sighed softly and reluctantly hung up the phone.
He kept thinking: He really hasn't paid attention to Guizhen in so many years. He always felt that it was natural for her to take care of the family and herself as a woman. Now that Guizhen has left, he understands that he is so Guizhen has been taking care of her like a giant baby for many years, why is she so arrogant? Guizhen devotes herself to the family, never buys anything, and keeps the house in order.
When Guizhen hung up on Lao Shen, her best friend laughed at her: "You have a hard mouth but a soft heart. I know you still miss Lao Shen. If you feel uneasy, go home! "
Guizhen sat down and said seriously: "You think of Lao Shen, he just has a bad mouth. In the past decades of marriage, he has actually been very good to me. You said I have endured it for decades, so why should I fight with him this time? "
The next day, Lao Shen wanted to take Guizhen back. While walking on the road, he went to a flower shop and bought a bouquet of roses. He had never bought flowers for Guizhen in so many years of marriage.
Lao Shen came to Guizhen's best friend's house holding flowers. Her best friend opened the door and saw Lao Shen holding such a big bouquet. She was even happier than Guizhen.
Lao Shen saw Guizhen and carefully handed the flower to her: "Guizhen, it was my fault. I used to think that you couldn't live without me, but after we separated, I realized that I couldn't live without you. I did something wrong before, I hope you give me a chance to change my ways!"
Guizhen took the flowers and admitted her mistake: "I was also wrong. I kept grievances in my heart, and I was too impulsive."
After this separation, the two realized that they could not trust each other at all. Guizhen happily packed her things and followed Lao Shen back home.
Old Shen said to her: "Sit down, I'll cook!"
Guizhen smiled: "I'll do it!"
The two of them started working in the kitchen talking and laughing, and eating the familiar taste made Old Shen understand how precious home is.
