[Short Story] Giant Baby

Because I was dissatisfied with the copy, my demanding boss made me work overtime, which made the originally happy Friday unhappy. In the process of working overtime, my husband Zhang Ming called him three or four times to urge him. Why didn't he go home? It was hard to stay up until nine o'clock in the evening, and Wan Ru finally got off work.

There was just the last bus, but there were many people, and many people were next to each other. Wan Ru fought back the feeling of nausea and squeezed her scalp hard. Halfway through the car, I don't know who put a long fart, which smelled like a bomb exploding in the crowd. Wan Ru accidentally inhaled a mouthful, which made her throat sick.

I don't know when, a fat man came over, his T-shirt was soaked with sweat, and the sour smell went straight to his nostrils. I don't know who smells like smelly feet, body odor and perfume ... in this last bus, I took turns to appear like a singer.

At this time, Wan Ru especially missed her husband's BMW and the comfortable and spacious feeling in her car. Wan Ru and Zhang Minggang got married. Zhang Ming's parents not only bought a suite for them, but also bought a BMW for the couple.

It can be said that Wan Ru's work place is far away, and she needs a car most. However, the BMW was bought by Zhang Ming's parents in full. When they got married, Wan Ru didn't give Wan Ru much dowry money, so Wan Ru was embarrassed to let Zhang Ming give her the car. Generally speaking, when Zhang Ming is free, or when Wan Ru asks, Zhang Ming will pick up Wan Ru. But considering that her husband was very tired after a day's work, Wan Ru didn't ask her husband Zhang Ming to pick him up today.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for Wan Ru to get on the bus. When I got home, the light in the living room was dim, but the light in the back room was still on.

Hearing the door opening, her husband Zhang Ming ran out happily. The "snapping" sound of slippers rubbing against the ground shows Zhang Ming's eagerness to wait for his wife's return. Seeing Wan Ru's figure, he hugged Wan Ru happily and kissed her red face: "Wife! You are back! "

Wan Ru smiled and pushed him away: "All right, all right. I have to cook. "

"Well, you are quick to cook. I'm starving! " Husband Zhang Ming urged her to cook quickly. With that, she hurried back to the house to play games.

Zhang dare not "delay" for too long, because the boss and his buddies in the dormitory are waiting for him to return to the team to kill the enemy. He can't cheat his teammates. Almost every day after work, he will play a few games with his good friends, one is to enhance feelings, and the other is to relax. Usually it's okay, but today's game is particularly important. Because this season, they agreed to advance together. Zhang Ming made a bet with some buddies that whoever won the most heads tonight would invite everyone out for a snack.

When I heard the cries of "Ow, Ow, Ow, Woo" coming from the back room, I laughed, scolded and shouted. Wan Ru really don't understand, this is just a game. As for being so excited? She was expressionless, choosing dishes without waves in her heart, thinking about how to improve the copy again. Should she go to the library to look up relevant information, or call her predecessors for advice? Several times, I finally got a little inspiration and was scared to escape by the "sudden" shouts in the room.

Wan Ru likes to think while doing housework, because it can save her a lot of time. But the disadvantage is that she often puts the wrong seasoning, or forgets to put salt, or burns the dishes.

When Wan Ru cooked rice and stir-fried dishes, it was already 10:20 in the evening. Wan Ru's eyes were dizzy with hunger, too. She called her husband Zhang Ming's name and urged him to come out for dinner quickly. Shouting several times, I didn't see anyone. Wan Ru lost patience and simply ate by himself.

Maybe I'm very hungry, and the food is very delicious.

Husband Zhang Ming came out and was drooling at the smell: "Wow, it smells good!" " "Say that finish, flat and agile a butt sitting on the table, exhaled to eat.

After eating a few mouthfuls, he felt something was wrong: "Why is it so sweet? Are you scrambled eggs with tomatoes without salt? "

Wan Ru explained, "No, I put salt in it. But maybe I put some sugar to taste today, so it tastes sweet. If you don't put some sugar, tomatoes will be sour. "

Who knows that the words just stopped, and her husband Zhang Ming's face is like a changing poker. Brush gloomy way: "Who told you that fried tomatoes must put sugar?" Don't you know I don't like sweets? Why do you put sugar? "

Wan Ru was helpless: "Because tomatoes are sour, and don't you think it would be better to put some sugar?"

"You fucking mental derangement! Do you have to put sugar when it is sour? Then why does my mother cook delicious without sugar? " Zhang Ming was so angry that he dropped his chopsticks on the plate. Bright yellow chopsticks hit the edge of the plate and fell to the ground. Zhang Ming hates Wan Ru's excuse for doing something wrong!

Wan Ru didn't understand why Zhang Ming was suddenly so angry, just for a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes. Is it worth it? She is very angry with Zhang Ming and wants to scold him and give him a big slap in the face. However, reason told her to hold back and not to be as knowledgeable as this madman. She gave him a hard look, and finally bent down to pick up the chopsticks that had fallen to the ground and continued to eat her own food silently.

"Damn, you should put sugar in everything you do! Will you die if you don't put sugar? Isn't it? "

"What b stuff, all day long will know that sugar sugar! It's so fucking selfish, making your own taste and not considering others at all! "

"Useless things, in addition to spending money all day is spending money, nothing, nothing can be done well! What's the use of marrying you! You have to eat it yourself, I won't eat it! "

……

Angry Zhang Ming has been complaining about Wan Ru, and his mouth keeps spitting. He was so angry that he simply lay in bed and turned on the IPAD to watch the live broadcast. Every time Zhang Ming is angry or bored, he will forget the unpleasant things in his heart only by watching those beautiful women sing and dance and watching the anchor play games.

To be honest, he hates his wife Wan Ru's carelessness in doing such a thing. She is casual in many aspects of her life except work. Buy food casually, cook casually, and have poor hygiene habits. They always put things in their original places after using them, which makes the house very messy ... alas, this is sloppy and sloppy, which is really annoying.

On the contrary, Zhang Ming's mother is a very clean person. Keep your home spotless and clean at all times. She cleans almost once a day, and the furniture, doors, windows and kitchen are cleaned once a day. Zhang Ming always comes home clean and tidy. Zhang Ming's mother also cooks delicious food. In Zhang Ming's words, it would be great if Wan Ru's cooking level could reach 80% of his mother's!

On the surface, Wan Ru said nothing, but her heart was humbled. Husband Zhang Ming has a bad temper and is used to being a playboy. Never do housework, love to find fault with others all day. She was also unconvinced: "What the hell, I really thought I was a prince!" "

"No matter him! Love to eat or not! Stop eating! " Wan Ru quickly and ruthlessly swept away all the food on the plate, then burped and washed the dishes.

No, I saw Zhang Ming coming out with clothes on. Looks like he's going out. Wan Ru didn't want to talk to him, but she still asked, "Where are you going?"

Zhang Ming is very angry Without answering Wan Ru, he slammed the door and went out. Wan Ru ignored him and went on washing dishes.

Zhang Ming and his buddies went out for a barbecue. He killed the most people today, so he's buying. After chatting with my buddy for a while and drinking some wine, he felt much better. He thought that even though Wan Ru was stupid, she was still her wife, and life was inevitably noisy. This time, he will forgive her generously. During the dinner, he also called Wan Ru, and his voice was quite gentle: "Wife, my buddies and I are eating barbecue outside. I'll be back in a minute. I drank some wine, but I was not drunk. "

As long as a man is gentle, a woman can easily forgive him. At the other end, Wan Ru's anger almost disappeared. She smiled helplessly. Zhang Ming forgets everything every time he drinks wine. This temper comes and goes quickly, just like a child. Forget it. Leave him alone.

"Do you still drink? Don't you drive? How will you come back later? "

"I'll go to make an intravenous drip. It's okay. Don't worry. Oh, yes, go to bed early, don't wait for me. "

Listen, Zhang Ming's consciousness is still very clear, and Wan Ru judged that he should not drink too much. But I was also worried and asked him, "Where are you? Tell me the address and I'll take a taxi to pick you up. "

"no,no."

"You are quick to say, before you get drunk. I'll be right there. "

"No,no." Wan Ru asked Zhang Ming several times in a row, but Zhang Ming refused. Before Wan Ru finished, Zhang Ming hung up the phone with 1 of "pa". After that, Wan Ru made several phone calls in succession, but no one answered.

Zhang Ming feels that he can handle this small matter completely, and there is no need to be so enraged. A man comes out for a drink and asks his wife to pick him up. Don't these people laugh at him when he comes out?

Wan Ru finally gave up. She knows Zhang Ming's stubborn temper and will never compromise. Finally, Wan Ru took a bath and went to bed.

Vaguely, Wan Ru in his sleep was suddenly awakened by a quick knock at the door. It's my husband back! Wan Ru quickly got up and opened the door. As soon as the door opened, I saw my father-in-law holding her husband Zhang Ming, who was already drunk and unconscious, panting at the door.

"Still the leng wear stem? Come, give me a hand. "

Wan Ru hurriedly hold drunk into a pool of mud, zhang Ming, let his body as far as possible on themselves, in order to reduce the burden on his father-in-law.

"Dad, why are you here?" Wan Ru asked in amazement. My parents-in-law live in a nearby county, and it takes more than an hour to come to a city. Why did my father-in-law send my husband back at night? And how did Zhang Ming drink like this?

"Oh. I called Mingming several times, but I didn't answer. Later, I got through. He said he was drinking with a friend. As soon as I heard something was wrong, I forced him to give the phone to the people around me and drove to find him when I asked about the place. No, when I arrived, he was sleeping alone on the sofa in the barbecue shop! Those friends don't know where they are! " The father-in-law's tone is not urgent or slow, but his weak facial expression reveals his displeasure.

"His friends are so selfish! How can you leave Zhang Ming and leave without him? " Wan Ru hurried into the kitchen, looking for a hangover cure. By the way, she boiled a pot of water to make tea for her father-in-law.

"Ah. You are not decent, who can care who? " Grandpa helped Zhang Ming sit down, and then continued to ask, "Did Zhang Ming call you just now?"

"I did it."

"Oh, I guess he was drunk ..." My father-in-law thought for a moment, as if thinking about something. Finally, he added slowly, "In fact, you should take him back."

Although my father-in-law has a kind tone, Wan Ru can hear it. My father-in-law blamed her for ignoring his son!

Wan Ru argued, "But when I asked him where he was, he wouldn't tell me anyway. And at that time, I could hear that he was still awake and thought that there should be nothing. "

"Ha ha, you are inexperienced. Anyone who drinks and says he is not drunk is generally drunk. Ask him in advance next time to know who he wants to drink with and where to drink. So that we can get him back when he is drunk. Otherwise, it will be dangerous to let him lie on the sofa in the store alone! "

After listening, Wan Ru replied in a low voice, without saying anything. She silently walked into the bathroom, made a pot of cold water and brought it to Zhang Ming to wipe. Then I gave Zhang Ming a hangover cure. During this period, Zhang Ming was drunk, talking nonsense, feeling sick in his stomach and wanting to vomit. I vomited several times but didn't spit it out, so Zhang Ming's face turned red. Wan Ru had no choice but to let her father-in-law carry the basin. She put her index finger into Zhang Ming's throat and buckled it. After a while, Zhang Ming spit it out.

The three of them stayed for a long time, and finally, Zhang Ming was slow enough, and it was time for my father-in-law to leave.

Wan Ru looked at the time, it was already 2 am. Wan Ru was worried that it was not safe for her father-in-law to come home so late, so she had to ask him to stay at home for one night. My father-in-law declined, which means I have to go to work early, so I'd better go home early. Wan Ru couldn't say anything more, so she nodded in agreement.

Zhang Ming was lying in bed snoring and talking in his sleep. He thought he was still having a barbecue with his brothers! And Wan Ru tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. She was too angry to sleep. She thinks Zhang Ming is really naive. He is a 30-year-old man who can't hold back every time he drinks. Drink, but make arrangements in advance! At least say hello to her and tell her where it is. Every time I ask him, he is stubborn and refuses to talk, and finally he has to worry about his family when he is drunk. The most infuriating thing is that although the family members apparently don't say anything, they will still blame Wan Ru for his "inaction" in a few words, because Wan Ru's wife didn't do her duty and her husband got drunk outside. The point is, this is not the first time!

Next day, Zhang Ming woke up. He doesn't remember what happened last night. But knowing that his father fished him back from the barbecue shop last night, he couldn't help shouting: "This is really a peerless father! My parents still love me the most! "

Wan Ru snorted and ignored him.

On weekends, Zhang Ming went back to his hometown to visit his parents. Zhang looked at his son's return and smiled with joy.

Back to his home, Zhang Ming is like a flying pigeon, and finally he is free. While eating cherries and watermelons carefully prepared by his parents, he crossed his legs and watched TV. Zhang Ming felt very warm when he saw his mother busy in the kitchen and prepared a good table for him. It's so cool to have dad's love and mom's pain.

The smell of rice in the kitchen teased Zhang Ming's taste buds, his stomach growled and his throat aroused his appetite: "Mom, I want to eat braised tofu, steamed fish and sauced elbow ..."

It's greedy to order so many dishes at once! Zhang laughed and taunted him: "I think you'd better not come back next time." Save me worry. "

Zhang Ming's father retorted, "What's the matter with you? How many dishes can you cook? If the son wants to eat, then do it! "

This conversation between Zhang Ming's parents instantly reminded Zhang Ming of something. By the way, where is Wan Ru? He bounced up, took a few steps into the room and saw his wife Wan Ru busy at the computer desk.

"What are you doing?" When Zhang Ming came in, his smiling face became as cold as ice.

"Check the information."

"What information must be checked now?"

Zhang Ming leadership asked tone let Wan Ru don't want to answer him. Without saying a word, she went on with the operation.

"Why are you so not sensible? As a daughter-in-law, why don't you help your mother with the housework? " Zhang Ming has a firm attitude.

"I'm looking for important information at work. Not for a while? "

"For a while? After a while, the food is ready! Do you think you are a big lady? My parents are too old to help! What's the use of marrying you! " Finally, Wan Ru's attitude successfully aroused Zhang Ming's anger.

Psycho! Pick up things every day! Wan Ru was so angry that he wanted to smash the computer, but he gritted his teeth and held back: "Didn't you do it yourself?" Why me? "

"ah? You compare with me? Can you be like me? " Zhang Ming a face of disbelief, as if wondering if Wan Ru ever wanted to speak. He thinks that other people's daughter-in-law is so diligent that she competes with her parents-in-law when she sees work. Why is their daughter-in-law so ignorant and lazy?

Wan Ru didn't want to argue with him too much, so she gave him a hard stare and walked out of the back room. Although the anger was very strong, the quarrel between the two was very small and did not disturb the two old people.

My mother-in-law is still busy in the kitchen, and there is a thin, slow and even sound of cutting vegetables on the chopping board. Wan Ru was very upset, but she went up to him, fished out a plate from the vegetable pond, turned on the tap and cleaned it slowly. While washing, she forced herself to forget the unpleasant things that had just happened and persuaded herself not to be as knowledgeable as Zhang Ming. Thinking about it made her feel much better and less angry.

After washing the dishes, she stood on tiptoe in the kitchen, not knowing what else to do. Mother-in-law is still concentrating on cutting vegetables, as if she didn't notice the figure standing behind her. Wan Ru looked at a pile of vegetables piled up in front of the chopping board and thought it would be better if she had a chopping board at home. She could help her mother-in-law cut vegetables, which would be more efficient. However, there is no extra chopping block at home! Therefore, Wan Ru can only think about it.

My mother-in-law firmly believes that slow work makes fine work, so she is meticulous in everything. Carefully cut the shredded vegetables, stew the meat, and put the seasoning just right ... After standing for a few minutes, Wan Ru was bored to death. She thinks it's a waste of time. She wants to go back to her room and continue to consult the information, but she is worried about Zhang Ming's accusation.

Mother-in-law still slowly cuts vegetables without saying a word. Wan Ru felt that she should say something to break the silence and embarrassment, and then casually asked her mother-in-law a few questions about how to cook, and she answered them enthusiastically. She looks like a lovely daughter-in-law who is learning to cook beside her mother-in-law, but in fact, her brain has drifted away, floating in front of the computer desk, floating in work, floating in other things ... She is really unwilling, and her heart is bursting with negative energy, but she can't attack, so she has to pretend as if nothing has happened and keep a straight face.

Zhang Ming, who is watching the football match, shouted excitedly because his favorite team scored a goal. During the intermission, he saw Wan Ru standing behind his mother, studying cooking seriously. He is very satisfied with the result.

In the toilet, there was the rumble of the washing machine and the sound of running water. Zhang Ming's father poured a bag of clothes brought back by Zhang Ming into the washing machine, and by the way, he scooped a few more spoonfuls of washing powder into the washing machine. He knows that there is a lot of dust in the place where his son works, and it is not enough to just put a little washing powder. After this, Zhang Ming's father remembered that Zhang Ming's smelly socks were still lying on the living room floor. He wanted to help Zhang Ming wash it by the way, so he walked out of the living room again. When taking socks, Zhang Ming's father deliberately "snubbed" Zhang Ming: "In the future, I will wash the smelly socks myself and do my own thing."

Zhang Mingxiao retorted, "Why, my mother washed all your own socks?" . Alas, I didn't wash my socks, so I had to take them back. "

My father-in-law replied angrily, "If no one washes it, it will stink."

Wan Ru is in the kitchen, feeling very uncomfortable. She was very unhappy and chewed the meaning of this sentence repeatedly. Father-in-law's words, on the surface, seem to be reprimanding Zhang Ming, but in fact they seem to be saying that she didn't help Zhang Ming wash clothes and did her job well. Thought for a moment, Wan Ru also can't figure out why, but her heart depressed and increased a lot.

The sound of cutting vegetables, the rumble of washing machines, the sound of family conversation and the sound of TV ... these sounds are intertwined and softened into harmonious and beautiful music. At this point, Zhang Ming is in a good mood. He thinks that a happy home should be like this. The family is busy and happy. Every time he goes home, he feels particularly comfortable. In front of the TV, he secretly made a decision to go home once a week to spend time with his parents.
