-From Yi Shu's short story "Three Years of Sorrow"
Cixiang accompanied her mother to tell her fortune when she was very young. The fortune teller looked at her and asked, "madam, can you help my sister calculate the constellation?"
Mrs. Jiang was very surprised. "Can such a small child be lucky?"
The gentleman smiled. "Of course, as long as there is a time sign, you know your destiny."
Mrs. Jiang said the year, "My daughter was born at dusk."
The fortune teller carefully looked at Cixiang's little face, and Cixiang quickly hid behind her mother.
After playing the abacus for a long time, I got a number: three four one.
Cixiang saw many small books on the table, and her mother opened one of them and found 34 1. When she saw it, she couldn't help laughing and handed it to Cixiang.
Cixiang is about six or seven years old. She is already quite familiar with some words. She quickly turned to look at it. This little book contains many secrets. Article 34 1 says: I must marry Li Wenguang.
Xiao Cixiang suddenly said in unknown so, "Mom, what can I do?"
Mom smiled. "You will understand later."
Then, the iron abacus published many other predictions, saying that kindness is brilliant, popularity is good, and so on. Cixiang forgot all the compliments, but she only remembered five words: She wants to marry Li Wenguang.
Ah, by the way, why did Mrs. Jiang go to tell her fortune?
Because Mr. Jiang had an affair.
Mrs. Jiang is an old-fashioned woman, although she dresses up a little and doesn't worry about her life. She is convinced that patience is the most important thing in life. You can bear it.
I kept my heart shut, never made public, and never complained to my relatives and friends. I was really helpless, so I asked someone to tell my fortune and see what the future was like.
Cixiang followed her mother and almost traveled all over the city. Xiangtu, who is a little famous, also looked everywhere.
"Can you turn around?"
"Yes, he will turn back. In the end, you two will grow old together, and the rest is not marriage. "
Mrs. Jiang seems to be comforted. "So, when will he turn back?"
Fortune tellers are usually not sure. He thought for a long time and then said, "You need patience. Everything is gold. Besides, he is not bad to you. "
It's true. Jiang doesn't have any misdeeds at all, and he is still conniving and regretting his wife and daughter. He just doesn't go home to rest on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. I heard that he lives at his girlfriend's house.
Mrs. Jiang never asks her husband, "Where are you?"
After asking this kind of question, I had no choice but to get divorced, so I didn't intend to ask.
Pretending that nothing happened in such a big event shows how painful it is, and Mrs. Jiang is getting thinner and thinner.
Lucky, yes, lucky. Mr. Jiang's affair strictly abides by the rules of the game, and she didn't make any harassment.
In other words, Mrs. Jiang never noticed the existence of this woman.
This is already good luck.
Many original wives are angered by women outside.
Like Mrs. Ruan, every morning there will be a phone call to wake her up: "old woman, when will you abdicate?"
Another day, Mrs Xue went to have tea and chatted with her husband's girlfriend. The young woman walked up to her desk on purpose and made a few provocative turns.
After listening to these examples, Mrs. Jiang was so scared that her back was cold and restless that she fell asleep in the middle of the night and cried until dawn.
Cixiang knows all these things, and every bit has become a part of Cixiang's childhood life.
Time flies, Cixiang grows up.
She began to persuade her mother: "Over the years, you have earned a lot from Jianghu skills. Their fees are really not cheap, always counting tens of thousands of dollars. "
"They are all half immortals, and the predictions are very accurate."
"Really," the girl smiled kindly, "I also know how to calculate."
"Remember what the iron abacus said?"
"I have forgotten what he said."
"You must marry Li Wenguang."
"Bah!"
"There must be a reason for being so sure."
Li Wenguang is a very common name.
"If this person appears, don't forget to tell mom."
"Come on."
"You're not curious?"
"Mom, I don't believe this at all."
Mrs. Jiang gave a wry smile. "In the future, you will also believe in fate."
Fifteen-year-old Cixiang suddenly advised her mother like an adult: "Mom, if it is really painful, it is better to leave."
Mrs. Jiang was shocked. Knowing that her daughter was sensible, she couldn't help crying. "Cixiang, only you know mother's sufferings."
Cixiang said, "Mom, if you had made a decision a few years earlier, your life would be better."
Mrs. Jiang bowed her head. "I won't get a divorce."
Cixiang said, "Quit after knowing difficulties."
Mrs. Jiang suddenly became angry. "What do you know?"
"I will use this time to learn a craft and meet people and things in society-"
Mrs. Jiang interrupted her: "Stop talking."
But one day later, she begged her daughter: "Cixiang, there is an amateur Chinese and English expert who is said to be very accurate."
Cixiang said softly, "OK, Mom, I'll go with you."
I feel sad.
Y day, I went to the company to find my father and chatted casually. "Dad, what does your girlfriend look like?"
Mr. Jiang was startled and his face changed, but he recovered immediately and said calmly, "What girlfriend? How can I have a girlfriend? "
Cixiang couldn't help admiring her father, but she still smiled. "That girlfriend came on Monday."
"Oh, come on, let me introduce you."
Cixiang is nervous. Is he a colleague of his company?
Who knows that Mr. Jiang pointed to the computer and said, "I work in foreign exchange and have to wait on this girlfriend all night."
It's amazing. It was completely forced.
"Have you explained this to your mother over the years?"
"Yes, but she is sensitive and suspicious and doesn't accept the facts."
"Ah."
"Cixiang, you advise her."
"Good good."
It's completely beside the point.
Mrs. Jiang still takes fortune telling everywhere as a hobby.
One day, the fortune teller looked Cixiang up and down and wanted to do more business. The lady said, "Do you count?"
Cixiang smiled. "No, I don't count."
But Mrs. Jiang was too busy to send her daughter's time horoscope to the newspaper.
Cixiang didn't good the spirit.
The fortune teller said, "Well, smart ... excellent academic performance ... extraordinary career ..."
Mrs. Jiang doesn't care about this. "What about marriage?"
"Very good, husband and wife love each other."
"What kind of person will my son-in-law be?"
Then Xiangtu suddenly said, "I want to marry Li Wenguang."
What? Jiang Cixiang jumped up.
On the contrary, Mrs. Jiang downplayed this. "Destined, isn't it?"
"Of course," the physiognomist laughed, "such an obvious thing can also be worked out by ternary test."
Li Wenguang?
Is there such a person?
What does he look like?
After entering the university, Jiang Cixiang finally met her Li Wenguang.
Everyone was watching the tennis match that day. Suddenly, Cixiang heard someone shouting: "Li Wenguang!"
Jiang Cixiang's heart almost jumped out of his throat, Li Wenguang!
She hurriedly turned away.
Li Wenguang made her heart tremble.
He is not ugly, but at first glance he knows that he is a heartthrob who thinks his charm is unstoppable, so he is coquettish everywhere. Think about it. Can a person be saved by giving that impression to others?
Cixiang hates such men.
So, I immediately shrank in the crowd and dared not move.
Will marry Li Wenguang!
What a terrible prophecy.
Fortunately, Cixiang doesn't believe this.
That damned Li Wenguang studied computer science, and she avoided him everywhere. Unfortunately, this shadow still exists after four years in college.
Avoid too much, showing traces, even Li Wenguang noticed this.
He found her.
She dared not stare at his handsome face.
Jiang Cixiang, don't you like me?
"Yes," she answered quickly, "I don't like you."
"Why?"
Cixiang has gone.
Heartthrob is disappointed, but she is not afraid. There is always one or two fish escaping from the net. Stay away from her.
But at any time, my heart itches and it's hard to scratch.
Conquering Mount Everest is a challenge. Maybe he can try harder and try again.
Perhaps this is a means for Jiang Cixiang to play hard to get.
Of course, he was wrong.
Cixiang avoids his shadow as long as she sees it.
The classmate asked, "You really hate him."
"yes."
"There is no hope at all?"
"Look at this man, how pathetic he is: vain, selfish, talkative and exaggerated. If a female classmate drinks coffee with him once, she will be ruined by him. If you don't avoid it, tell her? "
"However, he is very likable."
"I am not rare."
"You protect yourself better than anyone else."
"I am not optimistic about the relationship between men and women."
The classmates were surprised. "Why do you say that?"
Cixiang heaved a sigh. "The good times are too short."
The classmate bowed his head. "I know that, too."
"You are not afraid, you are gentle and lovely, no better than me."
"You will always meet the only thrill."
Li Wenguang?
No, no, no, not him.
On graduation day, Cixiang relaxed, and her personality controlled her fate. Why did she marry Li Wenguang? Didn't she escape the robbery?
Hardly had I found a job when my mother fell ill.
She found it first. When she took a bath, she found a cyst on her left breast. After a doctor's examination, she found it was cancer.
The first thing to do is to arrange for the mother to be admitted to the hospital, and then start negotiations with the father.
Mr. Jiang is also very anxious, which shows that he is not without feelings for the original match.
"The doctor said that it is not hopeless to remove bad cells and take medicine by electrotherapy as soon as possible, but we must keep patients and emotions calm. Father, I need your cooperation. "
Mr. Jiang was silent for a long time. "yes."
Cixiang breathed a sigh of relief, then scolded her father and said, "She was sick and bored to death."
"CiXiang, you are a college student. Why do you speak without any scientific basis? "
"Emotion affects endocrine, and endocrine hook cells are corrupt. How can it be groundless? "
Mr. Jiang said, "I will spend as much time with her as possible."
"You should have done this a long time ago."
"Cixiang," he said slightly, "I have also contributed to my family over the years. See what you wear and eat, and which one is not raised by me. "
It's true.
My father gave Cixiang a European sports car after graduation.
Economically, he didn't treat their mother and daughter badly.
Cixiang spends a lot of time serving her mother in the hospital.
Mrs. Jiang said softly, "It's a good thing you've grown so big."
"Mom, what are you talking about? You have to have grandchildren. "
"The industry under my name is naturally yours."
"Maybe you need to be eighty."
"Eighty years old, not the same as an ancient Buddha."
"Mom, please cheer up." Cixiang shed tears.
Mrs. Jiang suddenly said, "Over the years, I have been amazed at what that third party really looks like."
Cixiang said nothing.
"She is also having a hard time. She has been anonymous for more than ten years. "
Cixiang bowed his head.
"A selfish man, two cowardly women." She sighed.
Cixiang pressed her mother. "Mom, you will have an operation tomorrow, and you should rest more."
Mrs. Jiang is deeply sorry. "After that, the first thing is divorce."
Kindness and joy show that the mother still has the desire to survive.
"No matter what you like, I support your remarriage."
Mrs. Jiang actually smiled. "Hey!"
The next day, mom went into the operating room, and Cixiang and dad were waiting in the hospital reception room.
Cixiang is still complaining about his father: "I see your mood."
Mr. Jiang was silent.
"What about her?"
Mr. Jiang looked up.
"She's not young, is she?" Cixiang went on to say, "She was in her twenties when I was seven or eight years old, and now she is forty."
Mr. Jiang kept silent. To tell the truth, it is doubtful whether this Qi people ever enjoyed happiness.
Look, the passage of time has caused such great trauma, and only he knows how the party gains and losses.
At this moment, a kind-hearted, stout young doctor came along. "Is it the patient's family?"
The Chiang family's father and daughter stood up quickly.
"I will be responsible for Mrs. Jiang's physical therapy. I am Dr. Li Wenguang. "
Cixiang opened her mouth.
I didn't know there were so many Li Wenguang in the world.
One by one is Cixiang's least favorite type.
Mother lost a lot of hair when she received electrotherapy, but she was in a good mood.
"You must marry Li Wenguang." She burst out laughing.
Cixiang didn't good the spirit.
"I finally figured it out, but my mood is much better than before. I have officially entrusted a lawyer to handle the divorce procedure. "
"Mom-"
"Although he comes home every day these days, he is just doing his duty," sighed Mrs. Jiang. "I don't want it. When I came back from hades, I was completely relieved. "
It doesn't matter. Cixiang is happy for her mother.
"Cixiang, you are really your mother's baby."
Cixiang hugged her mother tightly.
"So Dr. Li Wenguang is trying to pursue you."
"Hey, the funny thing is that he actually lost weight for me."
"I think he's fine."
"Then I will ask him to force you. You are more mature and richer than me. "
Mrs. Jiang said again, "Bah!"
The divorce also took effect on the day when the doctor announced her recovery.
Four marriages in a century.
According to Mrs. Jiang's own words, "What took you so long?"
She has changed a lot since her illness. She often does moderate exercise, including swimming and learning to play mahjong. She made great achievements and fell in love with delicious food. She gradually studied all kinds of table wine. ...
Is she happy? Not necessarily, but at least not among disgruntled women.
Cixiang is happy for her mother.
As for Dr. Li Wenguang, alas, Cixiang sighed deeply.
By this time, in fact, she didn't have much conflict with Li Wenguang's three words, but she disagreed with the doctor.
The most terrible thing is that Dr. Li thinks that a woman will marry her husband anyway after marriage, and it doesn't matter whether she likes or dislikes her personality.
Cixiang can't agree.
But it's easier to escape from Dr. Li. Just don't answer the phone.
In less than half a year, he married someone else and sent an invitation to Cixiang.
Mrs. Jiang murmured, "I hate being fat and I'm afraid of being in charge. What a beautiful marriage! It's all in vain. "
Cixiang only feels lucky and avoids bad luck.
Before long, she found a good job, which was worth doing. She is experienced and knowledgeable, and Cixiang knows that there are many nasty people in the world. Although the two Mr. Li Wenguang she knew did not meet her standards, they were still dwarfed by the real shameless people. However, she also had to make peace with them.
She is really tired.
Mom won't understand if she doesn't work for a day.
Thanks to Wang.
Yes, his name is Wang.
Many female colleagues in the company laugh when they talk about Wang Qi.
He is tall and handsome, but his clothes are simple and tidy and he doesn't show off at all. He is broad-shouldered, warm-hearted, talented in work and lucky. He can please the boss, has a bright personality and is helpful.
The advantages add up to endless words. He has a sense of humor and knows the taste of life.
Is it really that good?
Maybe not, but when girls are in love, they are subjective and subjective. Everything about him is of course the best.
Among all sentient beings, Wang likes Jiang Cixiang with heavy eyebrows and big eyes and tall figure.
When she came back, she asked him, "What advantages do you think I have?"
The most beautiful female colleague at that time was Guo, who was born in Cambridge literature and had a good family.
Who knows Wang replied: "I like your daughter Zhang Fei's personality, she has no machine heart." If someone sells it to you, you can help him count the money. It's so easy to deal with. "
Kindness is ridiculous.
She is not careless.
Visiting her father who lives alone, she pays attention to clues everywhere, but somehow she can't find a flaw.
Cixiang began to wonder if she was too sensitive to her mother and misunderstood her father over the years.
Maybe he really doesn't have another woman.
However, the secret was finally revealed one day.
One day, just after work, someone asked for Jiang Cixiang.
Is an elegant lady, she has an oval face in Zhang Xiuli, wearing a Chanel suit, looking at the prison and smiling kindly.
She praised, "She looks slim."
Cixiang alpha males for a moment, lightning Shi Huo, know what lady is.
She said softly, "Your father said you always wanted to see me."
Cixiang nodded.
"He often shows me your photos. I know you very well. He loves you very much and is proud of you. You are the apple of his eye. "
Cixiang gradually shed tears.
All three people are good people, and somehow they got into this situation.
"More than ten years have passed." She felt sorry.
Cixiang asked softly, "Are you getting married?"
"Oh, no, no,no."
Cixiang was surprised that they were barrier-free now, and her mother quit.
She said softly, "I will immigrate to Vancouver tomorrow."
Cixiang was shocked and blurted out: "So, my dad."
"We broke up six months ago."
"Why?" Cixiang actually feels very sorry.
She didn't explain. After a while, she said, "Fate has arrived."
However, she caused great trauma to another woman.
Then she whispered, "I'm sorry."
Of course, she is also one of the victims.
Cixiang has nothing to say.
The lady turned and left with infinite goodwill.
She didn't mention it to her parents.
Time never pays attention to anyone's sorrows and joys, and rolls forward.
Cixiang took Wang home to see his mother, who liked it very much and chatted with him all night.
Afterwards, Tong Cixiang said, "Don't you have to marry Li Wenguang?"
Cixiang smiled. "It is not accurate to tell fortune by fortune telling."
"Yes," my mother was disappointed. "They are all paste people."
"It's just a mixed meal, and the fortune teller can't go hungry."
Cixiang heard her mother sigh.
"Mom, we will be with you after marriage."
"Have you ever been married?"
"I mentioned it briefly."
"This matter is coming soon, soon."
Cixiang said, "I want to think more."
"It will change if it is late."
"I'm afraid I'm wrong."
"Duh, getting married and having children is a big deal. I'll bring it back for you. "
With a kind smile, my mother's idea was really opened.
She and Wang are really going to get married.
He took her to Tahiti for a holiday.
She guessed that she would stay on the beach for a long time, and it would be good to buy more swimsuits.
She helped him pack.
Wang Qi took out his passport and plane ticket. "Who will keep it?"
"I'll do it."
Wang Qi uses a British passport. Ci Xiangyin said, "It's not that I don't like London, but the standard of living is a bit too high."
"So it is up to you to marry you. You have a dowry. "
Cixiang is not afraid at all. "Then you have to listen to me."
Zhong Kai smiled. "Listen to all this."
"Be as docile as a bulldog."
"woof woof."
Two people laugh, passport fell to the ground, Cixiang picked it up, a look, stunned.
She screamed, "Do you have an alias?"
Wang was stunned. "Didn't I tell you that after my mother remarried, I was surnamed Wang with my stepfather?"
"Yes, but you didn't say your original surname was Li."
"Is it important?"
Cixiang grabbed her passport and asked, "What is your original Chinese character?"
"Li Wenguang, my stepfather didn't like the name very much, so he changed it to Zhong Qi."
Will marry Li Wenguang!
Jiang Cixiang froze.
Ah, the prediction of these Jianghu skills is really accurate sometimes.
"Cixiang, what's wrong?"
She paused. "Nothing."
"Hey, do you doubt my life now?"
"Kai Zhong, don't joke about such things."
"Good good."
Because my mother wants to know the future, she looks for people everywhere. Calculate the future.
All she got was nonsense, but Cixiang was unexpectedly confirmed by prophecy.
Will marry Li Wenguang.
So many people called Li Wenguang, which made her false alarm several times.
Cixiang looked at Wang tenderly, but she didn't mind marrying this.
