Just a few steps away, Fang Zhiqiang's cell phone rang again. Before Fang Zhiqiang had time to take it out, he saw Li Xiaoxiao's vicious eyes and immediately took it back, and consciously turned on the silent mode.

The call was not connected and hung up after vibrating for a while. Fang Zhiqiang ignored it and then started working hard with Li Xiaoxiao and Wang Xia.

The way women buy things is indeed different from that of men. In Fang Zhiqiang's eyes, many of the things they buy are actually unnecessary, but they just keep throwing them at themselves.

At this time, Fang Zhiqiang was already carrying full bags in his hands, and he was just about to hang the bag on his nose.

"No, we're almost done, right?" Fang Zhiqiang, a dignified man of seven feet, was already out of breath from exhaustion. Seeing that Wang Xia and Li Xiaoxiao still didn't intend to stop, he said helplessly.

"About what? Didn't you listen to what our dad said? There will definitely be a lot of people on the street in the next two days. If we don't hurry up and buy everything now, it will be inconvenient to go out on the street again then!"

Li Xiaoxiao looked back at Fang Zhiqiang and immediately smiled happily.

At this time, Wang Xia and Li Xiaoxiao were empty-handed, and even their bags were hung around Fang Zhiqiang's neck.

"That's right! You are a grown man, and we two weak women are not tired yet. It's embarrassing to see you looking so hopeless!" Wang Xia was also happy from ear to ear, looking at Fang Zhiqiang and jokingly said

.

Helpless Fang Zhiqiang rolled his eyes and muttered: "It really doesn't hurt to stand and talk..."

Because there were so many things to bring, Fang Zhiqiang's phone vibrated repeatedly and five times, and Fang Zhiqiang didn't notice it at all. He just walked around until four or five o'clock, when the sun set and the sky was about to get dark.

Wang Xia and Li Xiaoxiao looked up at the sky, and finally looked at the streets they had not finished shopping with some reluctance, and sighed: "Let's just do this for now, go back!"

Hearing this, Fang Zhiqiang's whole body suddenly went limp, and he ran away quickly carrying his things as if he had received an amnesty.

"Wait a minute!" Li Xiaoxiao and Wang Xia chased after Fang Zhiqiang and headed towards Li Yonggui's home.

Li Yonggui at home is still sitting on the sofa in the living room at the moment. Fang Zhiqiang and the others have been out for more than three hours. He has never left the sofa and has been sitting here as if he is worried.

Even though he had quit smoking for several years, he took out a pack of cigarettes from somewhere and smoked several without even realizing it.

The one that was just lit at this time was already the seventh one.

Smoke was rising, and Li Yonggui looked at the cigarette held between his fingers, as if it was burning away bit by bit like a person's life, until it was extinguished at the last moment.

"Ouch! Why did you start smoking again! Don't you think you coughed hard enough?" Xiao's mother smelled the smell of cigarette smoke in the bedroom, and immediately opened the bedroom door and took a look. Sure enough, this was her third time this afternoon.

I found Li Yonggui smoking for the first time.

The first two times, Li Yonggui said it was the last one, but when Xiao's mother wanted to take the cigarette box away, Li Yonggui never agreed.

"Do you think Xiaoxiao will be happy in the future?" Li Yonggui stared blankly at Xiao's mother who came out of the bedroom, suddenly frowned and asked.

"Why do you ask this suddenly? Are you stupid for smoking?" Xiao's mother was also stunned when she heard this. Looking at Li Yonggui's serious expression, she joked.

"I'm starting to get a little worried. If Zhiqiang continues like this, one day Xiaoxiao will live the same life as you did." Li Yonggui said in a soft tone as he looked at Xiao's mother who was getting closer and closer to him.

"Back then..." Xiao's mother suddenly started to hesitate.

Looking back on that year, she still can't forget it now.

At that time, Xiao's mother and Li Yonggui were in free love, which was a very fashionable behavior at that time. Until they got married, Xiao's mother always firmly believed in the love between the two of them.

But everything changed in my life after marriage. I quit my job for the sake of my children. Although my husband Li Yonggui was very capable during those two years, he couldn't spend all the money he brought home.

But Xiao's mother will never forget how dark that period was for her.

Staying at home every day, spending seemingly endless money, with Xiaoxiao who is less than one year old.

At first, everything seemed to be quite happy, but gradually, Xiao's mother realized that she was living like a zombie and had completely lost her soul.

She felt that she couldn't do anything and kept repeating the same things day after day. At that time, Li Yonggui was pretty good at being able to go home almost once a month.

Xiao's mother gradually began to lack love, so she poured all her love into Li Xiaoxiao, who was less than one year old at the time.

However, the child would not respond at all to her deep love, and sometimes it even made Xiao's mother almost go crazy.

Days like that are desperate for any woman. Xiao's mother was very sober back then. In fact, it was not that her relationship with Li Yonggui had changed, but that their lifestyle had changed, which led to changes in their hearts.

Subtle changes.

That's why Xiao's mother later insisted on working in Li Yonggui's group. No matter what the position was, as long as she could keep herself busy, at least she wouldn't have so much time to be sad.

Although Xiao's mother felt very painful during that period, she never mentioned it to Li Yonggui.

Li Yonggui goes home almost once a month, and it's not easy to get together. Xiao's mother doesn't want the two of them to be unhappy with each other, so she acts very happy every time Li Yonggui comes home.

However, as time passed, even though Xiaoma didn't say a word, Li Yonggui also noticed something.

Only later did Li Yonggui finally agree to let Xiao’s mother work in the group.

At that time, Xiao’s mother was still wondering why Li Yonggui suddenly agreed when he had always opposed her before.

In fact, Li Yonggui is also very helpless. He cannot do without his work, and his wife cannot do without him. Any man would be in a dilemma.

In the end, it turned out that agreeing to let her work in the group was a very wise decision.

Since then, the relationship between the two has gradually improved.

However, now Li Yonggui can't help but worry that Li Xiaoxiao in the future will become like Xiao's mother back then.

Although they only have one child, Ai Li, the old couple can still help take care of him.

It's just that they will grow old eventually. As little Ai Li gets older, it will naturally become more and more difficult to educate her. At that time, even if Li Xiaoxiao wants to go to work, conditions will not allow it.

Once she is left free to take care of the children at home, problems will arise one after another.

The gloomy feeling was like a thick layer of dark clouds, weighing down the two of them and soon they were out of breath.

Li Yonggui also had that feeling back then.

"I'm worried that Zhiqiang is focused on his career and ignores Xiaoxiao's feelings. Xiaoxiao looks very similar to you back then. She is unwilling to tell Zhiqiang many troubles. This is not the way to go." Li Yonggui continued.

Talking about the worries in his heart.

When Xiao's mother heard this, she also fell silent.

She only found out today that Li Yonggui had always known about her emotional state back then.

"Old man, why did you just say these things to me today?" Xiao's mother said with a little excitement, her lips trembling slightly.

"I just mentioned Xiaoxiao by the way today, it's nothing..."

Before Li Yonggui finished speaking, Xiaoma slapped him hard on the arm and interrupted: "You stubborn old man, if you had spoken out earlier, I wouldn't have had the same attitude towards you later..."
