Chapter 31 The Journey to Untie the Bell (5)
"Ha, the scope of attack is too wide. At least teenagers, children and unmarried men should be deducted. This will reduce by one-third, and there are 24-year-old filial husbands like me. , such men are not in the minority among married men, like my father." Li Sichuan thought about it for himself, "It's environmental factors that affect people's behavior, and it's like this in the general environment. In reality, it is not surprising that everyone is used to it. I grew up in a traditional and normal family, and later studied in the United States. Neither the law nor the religion supports such betrayal of companions, breach of contract, and non-compliance. Keeping your promises is why you take it for granted as immoral." He turned to Le Congrang, "You were also educated in the UK, so how did you get along with them?"

"Are you thinking too much about the spirit of Western contracts? If you talk about Britain, then I will ask you, do Charles and Camilla betray their companions, break the contract, and break their promises?" Le Congrang retorted: "People are always selfish, and neither religion nor law will work."

"Do you still know that you are selfish?" Li Sichuan said, "Because you are selfish, you force your wife to be selfless? You are too unreasonable, and you don't consider other people's feelings at all. Give Yuxiang a Midnight Cowherd, let her be selfish for a while, I would like to see how you feel?"

Le Congrang exclaimed, "You are a man, aren't you! Why do you always talk on their side? Can men and women be the same? When a man finds a woman to give birth to his wife, doesn't it make her grow old? It’s so miserable without a family to rely on.”

"When I was young, I saw my husband and other women flying together, and I was very happy?" Li Sichuan scolded angrily: "I said, why are you so young and full of feudal legacy? If you don't have feelings anymore If you don’t want to divorce, you must find a way to solve the problem. If you want to have offspring, OK, no problem. If you have gone to a reproductive specialist, it is really Yuxiang’s physical problem. She is psychologically frustrated. Isn’t it more than you? Don’t you deserve your greatest comfort and concern? But how do you do it? Does what you do seem to come from the care of a husband? If you want a child, you can first in vitro fertilize and then implant In vivo, this is the so-called test-tube baby. Second, you can find a surrogate. Anyway, if you have money, it doesn’t matter how much money you have. There must be a brave woman under the reward. Third, you can adopt. But what about you? The method you use, It is the most shameless one, and they still make excuses to say that it is for her to rely on when she grows old. In my opinion, if she does not live to the age that you need to provide, she will be pissed off by you. Like Tukin's mother."

Speaking of this, he suddenly asked: "How did Yu Jin's mother die?"

Le Congrang didn't guard against him saying this suddenly, and subconsciously said, "How do I know? How old was I when she died."

"You haven't heard any gossip about this matter since then?" Li Sichuan followed closely.

Le Congrang asked in surprise, "What do you mean?"

Li Sichuan thought to himself, "Isn't that car accident an accident?"

"What do you want to say?" Le Congrang also became alert.

"It's nothing." Li Sichuan shook his head, "I'll just say it casually."

Le Congrang looked at him suspiciously, "Your tone doesn't sound like you're talking casually, but rather like you're reasoning forward after reaching a conclusion."

Li Sichuan laughed, "Yu Xiang said that for her, Mrs. Yu went to the temple to become a lay Buddhist, went to Qingxiu, and had to be silent for a month. It is very difficult to not speak for a month. It is rare for her to do so much for her daughter. You are so pious, and you take everything on yourself. It’s too wrong for you to make the elderly worry about fatigue.”

Le Congrang obviously just heard about this incident, and he was silent for a while, with a look of pity on his face.

Li Sichuan saw it, and thought: "This Le Er is not bad enough, he still has a conscience, so he is not a complete bad person."

Le Congrang took a sip of wine, looked up and asked, "Didn't you suspect that Yuxiang's mother had something to do with the death of Yujin's mother? Why do you feel sympathy for her again?"

Li Sichuan thought that Le Er still had some brains!I found out his question so quickly, why can't I get caught up in the issue of men and women?
"That's Yujin's problem, and whether Yuxiang's mother cares about your son-in-law is a different matter. I never engage in the same thing. Even if Yuxiang's mother is sorry for Yujin's mother, it can't be blamed on Yuxiang Also, not only I think so, but even Yu Jin thinks so, she has never denied this younger sister, it's just that she doesn't kiss her."

As soon as this sentence came out, Li Sichuan felt that he had made a mistake, he shouldn't have praised Yujin in front of Le Er.Sure enough, a gentle look appeared on Le Er's face, and his tone softened, "Yu Jin is a rare woman in the world. Brother Li," he sighed to Li Sichuan, "Even if I was born with a golden spoon in my mouth, That's right, I never envy anyone, but I envy your good luck. You are a person from a mediocre family, and you can marry Yujin, maybe you lived in the temple for a lifetime in the last life."

"Hey, someone else's wife, please don't worry about it." Li Sichuan said bluntly, "Did you marry Yuxiang because you had no good intentions?"

Le Congrang smiled and said, "Brother Li, the second best thing is the second best, you should have heard of this sentence."

"I've never seen a more disgusting man than you." Li Sichuan punched him.

"As I said just now, the two of us have a common topic. Just talking about their sisters can last a lifetime. Do you think I will get a divorce?" Le Congrang said without fighting back.

Li Sichuan's eyes became cold, "You really deserve a beating. I was deceived by lard. I drank with people like you and called them brothers. With your bad intentions, you don't deserve a son. Look at you Which person around you has done evil and has not been punished? The law can’t judge, fate will judge. Doing good and evil is all in the mind of a person. I thought you still had a little conscience, but I didn’t expect you to even I don't want to keep that at all. Your filthy mind, all your virtues put together, are not enough for you to offset."

He swept Le Congrang's glass on the ground with one hand, "You deserve to drink gin and tonic? You deserve to drink with me too? You are not even qualified for a Bloody Mary, you should drink a burning knife and let the spirits burn through your body Wolf-hearted and dog-lung, burn your intestines to the point of rot, and burn them into a mass of blood."

He drank his own glass of whiskey in one gulp, threw the glass on the ground as well, turned around and left.

Back in the room, it was still like a fire was burning in his heart, as if a cup of burning knife slipped into his stomach, making him feel uncomfortable all over.He went to take a cold shower to calm down.Putting on his bathrobe, he called Xiaoyu.The call was delayed for three hours, and the words he wanted to say turned into kitten's paws, scratching at his heart.

When the phone rang in his cell phone, he prayed silently: Xiao Yu answered the phone, Xiao Yu answered the phone.He glanced at the watch on the bedside table, it was already midnight.I hope Xiao Yu is still asleep, and I hope I don't wake her up - if he wakes her up from her sleep, he will be uneasy again.

Fortunately, Xiaoyu picked it up right away, and asked in a sober tone: "Sichuan? It's so late, why aren't you sleeping?"

Li Sichuan heard her asking so tenderly and affectionately, his heart almost melted, and he said softly: "I went to sleep, I missed you and couldn't sleep, so I just thought if I could say good night to you. How are you? How are you?" Are you still awake this late?"

Xiao Yu smiled lightly on the phone and said, "You are a man."

Such a coquettish tone of anger and resentment calmed Li Sichuan's irritable heart, "What's wrong with me?"

"You will make more progress." Xiaoyu said, "You asked me to entertain your parents, but you went out to hide yourself. Where did you go?"

"I asked for some proof of data, so I came to the construction site to investigate, and I will go back to accompany them tomorrow. Thanks to you." It is rare for Li Sichuan to chat with her like this. Although he lied, the lie was not bad. It's not far off - he did come to the site to survey some data, which is not wrong.

"It's nothing, they took Yingying to the Science and Technology Museum for a day, and let me rest." Xiao Yu said: "If you rest well during the day, you won't be able to sleep at night."

Li Sichuan praised: "It's really an idea, let Yingying go to the science and technology museum to vent her energy, and she won't bother you to accompany her when she is tired. You have been taking care of Yingying all these years, and it is really hard for you. "

"Sichuan, this is what I want, I don't think it's hard. Besides, I took this golden time from you, I know it very well, thank you for allowing me to be so willful." Xiaoyu said slowly Slowly said: "Si Chuan, I am sorry for you, I am selfish and want to monopolize the time with Yingying."

Li Sichuan knew that she was trying to make up for the regret that she spent too little time with her mother. He understood now, nodded and said, "I understand, you don't need to apologize. Also," he asked, "Do you have a baby?" ?” He counted the time, and there is almost what should be there, if not, it is not.

"No." Xiao Yu smiled, "Dr. Li Yuying made a wrong diagnosis."

"Then do you want another one?" Li Sichuan asked, while waiting for an answer, he clenched his hands tightly, and his palms were sweating.

Xiaoyu paused there for a while, and then said: "Sichuan, I don't think I have the blessing to have another child. Such an extravagant hope is too far away for me. I even think that babies are from heaven. If I am greedy again, I will be punished for what was bestowed upon me."

"Xiao Yu, are you punishing yourself to atone for some kind of god that you think exists?" Li Sichuan asked carefully.This is a conclusion he just came to, and he needs confirmation from Xiao Yu.

"Everything I have comes from my mother. She left me at such a young age with resentment and humiliation. How can I rest on her sacrifice and enjoy the happiness? I have never done anything, and she sacrificed so many."

On this new year's night, in the dead of night, Xiaoyu suddenly spoke out about her troubles calmly. Is this the result of Li Sichuan's hard work?Li Sichuan hoped so.He didn't want this to come from Xiao Yu's confession alone.The thoughts buried deep in her heart were not prayers of confession to the priest, and Li Sichuan was not a confessor she caught temporarily.

"But you sacrificed me in this process of self-punishment." Li Sichuan reminded her, "Xiao Yu, you are unfair to me."

"Si Chuan, besides this, am I treating you badly?" Xiao Yu was finally willing to fight for something for herself, instead of just pushing him away blindly, hurting him with cold words, and forcing him to leave her.

Li Sichuan recalled those sweet times and sighed: "People are greedy, you are so kind to me that I am reluctant to leave. There is no such stupid person as you in the world, who dare not enjoy happiness when he has happiness. But it is good. Now you finally admit that being with me is happiness, and leaving me is for self-punishment. In this way, I don't feel too uncomfortable."

Hearing his grievances, Xiao Yu laughed again, "Si Chuan, I chose you, I begged you to marry me, you will never doubt that I will choose someone you don't like."

"Little Yu."

"what?"

"If you don't want to sleep, let's talk again." Li Sichuan was so happy that he couldn't find his way. He was reluctant to put down the phone. It had been a long time since such an intimate conversation between them.

"What are you talking about?" Xiao Yu seemed to have really had a good rest during the day, and had the energy to chat with him late at night.

"I've recently become interested in cognitive science, and I thought you might be interested too."

"What do you think?"

"Understanding the process of human consciousness is a field of understanding the world at the level of evolution and free economics, which is more enjoyable than psychology. Evolutionary theory allows us to understand human beings, free economics allows us to understand human society, and cognitive science allows us to understand human beings. Like you For such a sensitive person who has some kind of psychic response, cognitive science can help you purify your mind.”

Xiao Yu said suspiciously: "Why do you suddenly think of such a profound question? Are you trying to analyze me? From a psychological point of view."

"Xiao Yu, you're right. Traditionally, we have sought this function from psychology, but the reliability and validity are not ideal. Cognitive science can be used at the molecular level, neuron level, and from the perspective of neurotransmitter brain regions. , Help us understand ourselves and others. If we realize that emotions are objective, exogenous emotional factors will affect people's moral judgments, let us confirm that moral judgments are not purely rational products."

"what is that?"

"Aren't I still exploring? I just want to discuss my new discovery with you. If you are interested, we can discover it together."

Xiao Yu laughed, "Si Chuan, you are such a nerd."

The next day was the plane at [-]:[-] noon, Li Sichuan thought he still had time, so he could do his best for Xiao Yu.He asked the front desk of the hotel to arrange a car, asked the waiter to put the luggage in the car, and went to the flower gallery of the hotel to pick a small bouquet of jasmine flowers, and asked the flower girl to replace the lavender colored paper with silver highlights, wrapped in In white paper.

The girl in the flower house said enthusiastically: "Mr. Li, these are jasmine flowers brought in by air from India. The local jasmine flowers have not yet bloomed in this season. Are you going to take the flowers back to the north? Ms. Yu saw jasmine flowers in the New Year , will be happy. Just wrap it in white paper, won’t it be too plain?”

Li Sichuan didn't answer, pointed to another white flower in the vase and said, "Is that ginger flower?"

"Yes, this is ginger flower." The flower house girl held up a bunch of ginger flowers.

Li Sichuan sniffed it closely, and was immediately fascinated by the fragrance.He sneezed twice in a row and said it smelled good.

The girl in the flower house said, "It was airlifted from Indonesia, and the local ginger flowers haven't bloomed yet." She smiled apologetically, as if she was a flower fairy and should be responsible for the flowers not blooming in the New Year.

Li Sichuan also smiled, and said: "I want this one too, so use this paper to wrap it." Pointing to the replaced silver-dotted purple paper, he went to find a small bunch of white bells while the flower house girl was wrapping it up. Orchid came, "Add this one more. This one is made of pink paper, and it would be even better if it has a kitten pattern."

The girl in the flower room took out a piece of pink paper printed with hallo kitty patterns and quickly wrapped the flowers, and asked with a smile on her face, "This English lily of the valley was brought in from Yunnan by air, and it couldn't be more lovely for your daughter. What's wrong with Mr. Li?" Why don't you come back with Ms. Yu and the others? We all want to see what Miss Yu looks like. Can we see them during the Spring Festival?"

Li Sichuan made a helpless gesture, "I have no secrets here?"

The girl smiled shyly, "Miss Yu is the boss here, and we always know about her." She took out a rectangular flat box, put three bouquets of white flowers in it, and used soft paper as a pad , close the lid, cut a ribbon and tie a bow.

Li Sichuan reached out for his wallet, and the flower house girl said, "You don't need to pay, this is my New Year's gift to Miss Yu."

"How is this possible?" Li Sichuan was embarrassed, and he put down a few pink banknotes, "I will bring your greetings. In the New Year, everyone needs a gift, so buy yourself a bouquet of flowers. He took out a sprig of freesia from the vase, "This is for you, it looks great with your sweater."

"You are so caring, Mr. Li." The flower house girl's face turned pink with joy, "I have been selling flowers here for the past few years, and this is the first time a customer has sent me flowers. Thank you, Mr. Li."

Li Sichuan smiled at her, nodded his goodbyes, took the long box and got into the car parked in front of the hotel.

The driver, wearing white gloves and uniform, was trained to say hello first and then say, "Going to the airport now? What time is the plane?"

Li Sichuan sat down, put the box on his lap, and said, "The plane at 11:5 is still early."

The driver hummed and listened to him.

"I want to go to the Fu'an cemetery." The driver said oh, stopped talking, and drove the car to the suburbs.
