The young comrade helped put the bag at the door of Tian Wenjun's house and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm leaving first. You go back and have a rest."
"Thanks for your hard work."
"It should be my sister-in-law."
After the young comrade left, Tian Wenjun opened the door and carried the things in.
The room was kept clean and tidy, with bedding from the two beds hung out to dry on the balcony.
Looking at everything familiar in the room, she couldn't help but sigh softly.
I have lived in this small house for more than two years, so I have some feelings for it.
She gathered her things and washed herself.
She went into the kitchen and saw that the Chinese medicine she had bought for eight dollars was still there, and it seemed that Chen Jianguo had not boiled it yet.
Tian Wenjun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as he didn't drink it.
She tidied herself up, boiled water to wash her hair, and washed her body. She also washed the clothes she had taken off.
She stayed at home alone, her mind in a mess, and wanted to wait for Chen Jianguo to come back in the evening to talk to him.
When the sun was about to set, she brought in the bedding and made the bed, then rolled up her sleeves and prepared dinner.
Tian Wenjun carried a basket to the vegetable garden at the back and picked cucumbers and tomatoes, as well as green onions and a bundle of green vegetables.
For dinner, she made fried potato slices with minced meat, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, salad with cucumbers, and a dish of cold fungus.
In previous years, she would take time to dry some wild vegetables in the spring. But in the past few months, she has been in the provincial capital, so she didn't even taste a leaf of wild vegetables, let alone dry them.
While preparing the four dishes, she also steamed the rice and boiled a small ceramic pot of vegetable soup.
After four dishes and a soup were served, Tian Wenjun took out a bottle of wine and placed it on the table.
She looked at the time and saw that it would take about twenty minutes for Chen Jianguo to return.
The closer it got to his return, the more nervous she became.
It's not certain whether her illness can be cured in ten or eight years, but she can wait.
Can he?
After much thought, she decided to tell him the word she least wanted to mention.
divorce!
When she thought of the word divorce, her mind went blank.
My heart aches, it hurts so much.
Depressed, suffocated.
Time passed by minute by minute, and soon there were the footsteps of a group of men in the corridor, followed by the sound of someone unlocking their door.
Tian Wenjun's heart sank, and then the door was opened from the outside with a click.
When the door opened, a burst of delicious aroma wafted into the air. Chen Jianguo was still wondering whose daughter-in-law cooked such a delicious meal that it even wafted into his room.
As a result, after the door of the room was opened, I saw Tian Wenjun sitting upright next to the dining table with a few dishes on it.
Chen Jianguo paused and grinned like a fool.
"Hey, whose daughter-in-law is back? Why is she sitting in my house?"
Seeing the person he thought about day and night and hearing his jokes, Tian Wenjun pursed her lips and her eyes instantly turned red.
Chen Jianguo closed the door with his backhand, rushed towards her like a sharp sword, and picked her up.
He smiled and said, "Why didn't you call me in advance before you came back? I'll pick you up in the county town.
What time will you be back? How come you are back?
Tian Wenjun looked at the tanned face in front of her and suddenly became overwhelmed with emotion. She tried to remain calm and not cry, but the tears still flowed down.
Only then did Chen Jianguo realize that something seemed to be wrong with her.
She hasn't spoken a word since she entered the room.
The smile on Chen Jianguo's face gradually turned into worry.
"What's wrong? Have you been wronged? Or has someone bullied you? Tell me and I'll give him a good beating."
Tian Wenjun thought that when she saw him, she would be able to calmly talk to him about the child's matter.
But after seeing him, she found that she couldn't control herself at all.
Tears flowed in clusters, and she raised her hand and slowly slapped him on the face.
Chen Jianguo paused, a bad premonition flashing through his mind.
"What's wrong with you? Why don't you say something? Are you trying to drive me crazy?"
Tian Wenjun was choking up so hard, her nose was mixed with tears, and the words she wanted to say were stuck in her throat, and when she opened her mouth, no words came out.
Chen Jianguo panicked. He took the person from his arms and put her on the chair in front of him. He squatted in front of her with his tall body, held her hands with his rough hands, and used his other hand to wipe her snot and tears with his sleeve.
Tian Wenjun took a deep breath, pulled her hand away from his rough palm, then took out the check list from her pocket and placed it on the table.
She choked up and said, "You lied to me, didn't you?"
When Chen Jianguo saw the three words "Provincial Hospital" on the examination form, his heart skipped a beat.
He didn't know what to say for a moment, so he just held her hand again.
He lowered his head and kissed the back of her hand again and again. The only sound in the room was Tian Wenjun's sobbing.
After a long while, Chen Jianguo said in a hoarse voice: "I'm sorry, I lied to you.
I don’t want you to be like Xiaohong, being scolded by others.
This is not your fault. I feel sorry for you and I don’t want you to feel pressured.
If you don't have children, then you don't have children. It's not a big deal. You can blame me, but don't keep it in your heart, okay?
I thought I could keep this secret for at least two or three years, but I didn’t expect that I still couldn’t keep it from you.”
Tian Wenjun knew this would happen. He had done so much for her, but she acted like she had done nothing for him.
She tried her best to adjust her mood, and after a long while, she said in a hoarse voice: "But, my disease may not be cured in ten or eight years.
Chen Jianguo, I know you love me, and I know you love me, but you shouldn't lie to me.
You know what, I actually thought it was your problem.
I even bought you some medicine.
I...I didn't take those medicines. If you really took them, what if your health was damaged?
Chen Jianguo, you shouldn't...
You shouldn’t have kept it from me.”
"Wife, I was wrong, I was wrong. You can scold me and beat me, but please don't take it to heart, okay?"
Tian Wenjun shook her head. He was so young, she couldn't waste his whole life.
She lowered her head, was silent for a moment, and said, "Jianguo, let's...get a divorce!"
Her voice was hoarse and she uttered the words "divorce" with difficulty.
When Chen Jianguo heard this, he froze.
He tightened his grip on her wrist and said sternly, "Tian Wenjun, take that back. I don't want to hear it.
Don't even think about divorce.
Even if I, Chen Jianguo, die, I will never get divorced.
It’s just that you can’t have a baby. You’re asking for a divorce over such a trivial matter. Do you not trust me or do you not trust yourself?
Anyway, don’t even think about divorce. I, Chen Jianguo, have no children. That’s my fate.”
Tian Wenjun felt really distressed when she saw how emotional he was.
She didn't want to get divorced, but she didn't want to waste his life.
Chen Jianguo's eyes also turned red. He lowered his head, buried his face in her chest, hugged her tightly, and softened his tone to coax her: "Wife, it's not easy for us to walk for so long.
It's my fault this time. I promise that no matter what happens in the future, I will never hide anything from you again.
Could you please stop saying these stupid things?"
