Radical single women on the Internet have given women who are willing to fall into marriage and give their all to men a terrible name, "marriage donkey".
When Qiu Zining saw this name for the first time, she was surprised: such an ugly name for women actually came from women. But when she returns to her hometown every Spring Festival, she sees those diligent and docile female elders who have been busy for a year, busy raising children, busy taking care of her husband, busy honoring the elders, busy washing clothes, cooking, mopping the floor, dealing with human relationships and all kinds of trivial matters——
The ignorant and hardworking face of the donkey always appears in front of her.
Later, when she moved into Huamao Apartment one morning, Qiu Zining woke up early again. She wore Sun Yixun's slightly loose old T-shirt and a pair of frayed pajamas, tied her hair casually, mopped the floor, and made breakfast. When the fragrant breakfast was served on the table, she would hear the alarm clock ringing in the room, followed by Sun Yixun's huge and long sigh when he stretched.
Then there was the sound of water in the toilet, the sound of brushing teeth, and then Sun Yixun, with messy hair, walked out slowly, looking at the clean living room and the fragrant dining table, and exclaimed with surprise: "Wow, my Ningning is so great!"
Of course, later on, the surprise on his face became less and less, and Qiu Zining's greatness became a matter of course. Sometimes when he came out of the bedroom and saw the dining table, his first reaction was to frown and mutter: "Is the meal a bit simple today?"
Every morning at 8:30, Qiu Zining would send Sun Yixun to work at the door. There was a mirror at the entrance, reflecting Sun Yixun, who was well-dressed for work, and Qiu Zining, who was a little unkempt. Sun Yixun was brand new, but she felt that she was a little old in front of the mirror.
Sun Yixun also noticed it. He suddenly thought of something and said with a smile: "I remember the TV series I watched when I was a child. Those full-time wives would go out to see their husbands off when they left, and squat on the floor to get slippers for their husbands when they came back. At that time, I really wanted to get married and find a girl who loved me wholeheartedly." Qiu Zining exclaimed. When Sun Yixun left, she looked at herself in the mirror again. Her eyes were gentle and her posture was diligent. Indeed, she looked like a donkey. Since Qiu Zining asked for a breakup, Sun Yixun fell into an extremely twisted state. At first, he asked the reason, but Qiu Zining refused to communicate, so he began to learn to accept reality, but he still couldn't dispel his hatred. In the following months, Qiu Zining would always receive a call from an unfamiliar number late at night. He would either curse her with a slurred voice or burst into tears. Sometimes, he would feel wronged: "Ningning, I miss you so much. Can we not break up?" Of course, a few days later, another woman called and declared her sovereignty for no reason: "Sun Yixun and I are together. He is very happy now." ... And so on.
Occasionally, she would mark her frequented places on her Weibo, and a few times, she would see a familiar, lonely and idle figure nearby.
She knew it was him.
Qiu Zining also knew that Sun Yixun's twistedness came from pain. But she had no reason to comfort his pain. Breaking up is a simple basic lesson for adults. She didn't need to help him solve the problem.
"It will be fine after a while." Qiu Zining thought. Who hasn't been through this?
Qiu Zining remembered that the day she broke up was a snowy winter in Beijing. She sat in front of her laptop in the restaurant of Huamao Apartment, concentrating on sorting out this month's income. The fees for three advertisements have been received, in addition to the share of the website column and the down payment for a screenwriter. The client said that the financial department has been arranged to go through the process, and it is estimated that it will be received before next Friday.
"If that's the case..." She calculated while looking at the balance of her bank card and called the real estate agent to calculate another account. The real estate agent on the other end of the phone made complex calculations and analysis. Qiu Zining nodded in response and said, "Yes, that's right. If there is no problem, it should be that set. I should be able to transfer the down payment in a few days... It's okay, don't worry... I make money quickly... Just tell me how much the mortgage is... Um... OK..."
Sun Yixun came back from work and didn't see a person squatting down to get his slippers as he wished. He didn't say that he thought the sexiest part of a woman was not her breasts or legs, but her neck when she lowered her head.
A white, fragile and short grip.
This part will only be revealed when a woman is the most submissive.
However, Qiu Zining had changed a long time ago. Since she started to make money, she spent more and more time on work. Of course, no man would dislike his girlfriend making more money, but they always hope that she can strike a smart balance between work and housework.
She is no longer as docile as before, and she no longer wears an old home dress to do housework. She lowers her neck less and less. She even doesn't bother to listen to him several times. Instead, she frowns and looks at the computer screen, using perfunctory "hmm" to get rid of herself. Her neck is always raised high, like a swan.
Sun Yixun asked first: "Where's dinner?"
"Takeout. I've eaten it. I ordered your favorite food for you. It will probably arrive in half an hour." Qiu Zining didn't look up, still looking at the computer. Her fingers were crackling, as if she was talking to fans.
Then Sun Yixun put down his bag and went into the bedroom. A few seconds later, he flashed out again, half of his clothes were taken off, and he looked at Qiu Zining in confusion: "What's the matter with the suitcase in the room?"
Two 24-inch suitcases were neatly placed beside the bed, and Sun Yixun suddenly realized that the house was particularly clean and tidy today.
"Well, I'm leaving tonight."
"A business trip? Why are you on a business trip again?"
"No." Qiu Zining shook her head: "I'm moving out." She closed the computer and looked at Sun Yixun more seriously than ever before.
"I don't understand... What's wrong with you? Or did I make you angry again?"
"Nothing." Qiu Zining considered the words, but finally spoke very bluntly: "Sun Yixun, let's break up."
On that snowy winter night, Qiu Zining insisted on dragging two large boxes and called a Huolala driver to come home and move all her luggage. The sudden decisiveness made Sun Yixun a little confused for a while. He just regarded this behavior as an incredible act of coquetry.
Then, the little Jinbei car that Qiu Zining was sitting in swayed out of her favorite Huamao Apartment and disappeared in the snowy day of Beijing.
He came to see her several times later. But Qiu Zining always avoided him. Sun Yixun had no choice but to block Sheng Yiqing's unit. Straight to the point: "What happened to Qiu Zining? We are planning to get married. We have been together for more than a year, and she moved out without saying a word. Now she has blocked her WeChat and mobile phone. Tell me the truth."
Sheng Yiqing, who was busy at the time, did not expect such a thing to happen. He just said: "I don't understand. We haven't been in touch for a long time."
Sun Yixun in front of him had a scruffy beard and was much thinner. He looked like a tragic good man who was hurt by a scumbag.
Afterwards, she called Qiu Zining and asked, "Sun Yixun came to see me. What happened between you two? He insisted on asking me for a reason."
"What reason can there be for breaking up?" Qiu Zining frowned, "All breakups have only one reason in the end."
No love anymore.
"Then you have to tell him clearly. This is just baiting him, he will keep pestering you." Sheng Yiqing advised her.
"No, no, no, no." Qiu Zining shook her head, "Some truths are crueler than lies."
However, at this moment, Qiu Zining asked Sun Yixun to meet in the park where they first met. She thought, since he couldn't let go, since he wanted to hear it - then she might as well tell some truth.
In the evening of the midsummer park, Sun Yixun arrived first and saw Qiu Zining from a distance. She seemed to have dressed up a little, no longer wearing the usual loose dress, but a trendy short top and low-waisted wide-leg pants. The short top was layered and had a low neckline. There was a chain hanging around her neck. Her hair was shiny and shaky, and it was scattered and shining under the street lights.
No matter how Sun Yixun looked at her, he felt that this woman was unfamiliar. She looked too expensive. She had completely gotten rid of the type that ordinary men wanted to flirt with and think they could take home.
Then Qiu Zining stopped a few meters in front of him. She looked down at him. When their eyes met, they both found that they were holding a bottle of plum wine in their hands.
It was the same brand when they first met.
It was a coincidence, but unfortunately, this time, no one brought a cup.
"Hi." Sun Yixun was a little at a loss. He waved his hand and pulled the corner of his mouth, "Long time no see."
"Long time no see?" Qiu Zining sat down beside him: "I thought you often came to see me."
Sun Yixun touched his nose awkwardly and said: "Actually, it's not me who wants to come to see you. It's my mother. My mother misses you very much."
Qiu Zining unscrewed the cap of the plum wine bottle and drank directly from the bottle. Hearing this, he almost choked and said while coughing: "Your mother? Still miss me?"
"Why not?! You are her favorite "I don't miss you, really, but my mother, you know I'm very filial..."
Qiu Zining interrupted Sun Yixun: "Good boy, you're not good at lying."
Sun Yixun smiled bitterly, "But my mother really misses you. After you left, she arranged a few blind dates for me. But I think... maybe the most suitable one for me , or you. "
"Sun Yixun, you are suitable for the old me."
"What's wrong?" He laughed, his voice rose eight degrees: "You make money and I am no longer worthy of you, right? Qiu Zining, you want to find a tall, rich and handsome man, right? You are not still thinking of marrying into a wealthy family, are you? I tell you, rich people have a lot of tricks and schemes. You will be played to death if you go in like this, you know. You are quite simple, you don't know, you think you are very scheming, right? You are a fool, I tell you. I have seen all the men you have met, none of them are reliable! "
"Oh." Qiu Zining squinted her nose to look at him and took another big sip of wine, "Who said I want to marry into a wealthy family?"
"Her face was too familiar, and through the layers of makeup, it seemed as if he could see the Qiu Zining in the past, so Sun Yixun couldn't help but hold her hand holding the bottle: "Take it easy. I haven't drunk a sip, and you've finished it."
"Qiu Zining glanced at his hand pressing on her, moved it away without leaving a trace, and just smiled: "I can drink a lot now. Don't worry."
"Go out to drink every day, right?" He smiled coldly.
"Yeah, a lot of men and women, those little internet celebrities are too playful, basically all night. Then get up early to go to the beauty salon for injections."
"Isn't this a waste of money?" Sun Yixun shook his head. "It's like they picked up the money for free, so of course I can spend it at will."
"Qiu Zining." Sun Yixun paused, "Are you doing the same thing as them now? It's unclear."
She seemed a little surprised by his words, and then just smiled: "Sun Yixun, do you think I look like a married person? Look at me now. If you bring me home, what will your mother say when she sees me? I guess she will ask you to kick me out immediately."
Sun Yixun became impatient: "My mother, my mother, my mother, why do you always talk about my mother? A while before breaking up with me, At that time, they asked you to come back to my house to meet my parents all the time. We agreed to discuss marriage. You were not in good health at that time, so they specially arranged to find a doctor for you. My father even asked someone to make an appointment for the specialist clinic. But what about you? Did you pay attention to them? Do you think you were worthy of the old couple at that time? "
Qiu Zining pulled the corner of his mouth: "Maybe your mother and I are not compatible. When I was concerned, she didn't care much. When I was no longer concerned, she started to care."
"Oh. Have you ever cared about our family?" He showed a mocking look.
"Do you want to hear the truth, Sun Yixun?" Qiu Zining just turned her face slowly. She blew half of the plum wine into the bottle. Her face was slightly flushed. She smiled and looked at Sun Yixun:
"Really, Sun Yixun, I once wanted to marry you sincerely. "
