These two days, there is a high school classmate, who went to Tibet. The company's main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers. Suddenly, I feel that this is a bit pathetic. The fact is that you can do it too. I was worried about this and afraid of that, but it seemed that I could never reach her realm, and from afar, I was only envious.

  I think that since high school, such a girl will only ever make her friends around her feel envious, not jealous. She is like a happy-go-lucky general, always letting everyone feel relaxed, carefree, and simple like the winter sun, and can not help but want to approach, especially the dreary air under us. Seriously, I like her a lot.

  Sometimes, fate is really difficult to get rid of, I do not want to say the cause and effect of He Yichen and Zhao Meisheng, because that is, after all, a novel. But these next bad things are indeed hard facts.

  The girl who grew up together, let's call her Hui for now. In addition to bad grades, it is really hard to pick out what else is wrong. Her father is the captain of the village, it can also be said that the People's Republic of China's smallest officer, is not bad, but good at gambling. I heard from the older generation in the village often said that when he was young, blood, love to beat his wife, which I despise, but over the years, it seems to have gotten better. I think, he loved most in his life when the national essence of mahjong. A little free money on the body, it will be sent to the mahjong workshop. Hui's mother is a very poor woman, deaf, people are a bit brutal, and many of her ideas are still with the remnants of feudalism. Hui also has a brother who is indisputable and was imprisoned last year for something.

  We were the same age and she got married when I was still in college. The company's main goal is to provide the best possible service to its customers. The marriage partner was introduced by his parents, the family is not much of a problem, I had a look from afar, very short and fat, and slim she does not match. Of course, if you judge a person by appearance alone, it is too young and superficial for me. When she married, the child was five months old, because her belly was too big, she should have been carried out of the wedding, she walked out of the house (home custom, the bride is generally carried out by her brother, if the soles of the feet with the dust of the mother's family, will feel unlucky). In those years, the village family planning investigation is strict, an eight-month-old baby was induced abortion. We all know that although the investigation is strict, but if you are willing to spend some money, it is not impossible. The husband's family is not willing to spend that money, and there is no way out.

  Last year, Hui's husband began to beat her rumors are rampant. I thought my sister, will be favored, but that also depends on whose sister it is. The character of Hui's brother does not want to say anything more, only to sigh a generation is not as good as a generation. Now and then, they go to their brother-in-law to borrow money, to put it nicely called borrowing money, to put it nicely, is to ask for money. This makes her in her mother's family a little embarrassed to raise her head.

  Hui to parents, really filial, if you have time, will often bring some food and drink back to the mother's family. The new clothes and hats are all bought back by her during the New Year holidays. The home is simply decorated, and the money is also naturally her out.

  Later, it was heard that Hui was pregnant again, but due to the impact of the last time, habitual miscarriage, the child was lost, and she also went to work in another city. A year later, there was a son, very healthy and lively, to be honest, I feel both happy and a little sad, really very contradictory ah. Sometimes, I think, that if I were her, I might not have done as well as she did.
