Chapter 1323 Comparing myself with myself yesterday

"you are lying."

The dumplings are made directly from the dumplings.

“Fourth brother, I didn’t lie, please don’t accuse me unjustly!”

Tang Yuan defended himself.

“You are not smiling on your face, but your eyes are smiling. I can see it clearly.”

After hearing what Tuanzi said, Tangyuan’s face immediately fell: “Fourth brother, are we plastic brothers?”

Hearing this, Tuanzi’s delicate and fair face had a cool expression: “That’s what you say.”

Beside him, Minghan couldn't help but burst into laughter. He said, "Tangyuan, are you hungry?! Haha!"

Jiang Li, Ming Wei and Xiao Guoguo also laughed out loud. As for Mingrui, although he didn't laugh, the curve of the corners of his lips should not be too obvious.

“You are all laughing at me, are you sure you are not bullying me?”

Seeing everyone in the family laughing and laughing, Tangyuan felt particularly embarrassed. He pretended to be aggrieved and said, "Still laughing? You will lose me if you do this!"

"and me!"

Tuanzi glanced at the glutinous rice balls, his expression as calm as ever.

“Fourth brother! Don’t think that just because you look the same as me, you can replace my little dumpling in the family! Humph!

"Tang Yuan said, folding his arms, snorting arrogantly, and not turning his head to look at Tang Yuan.

“I am older than you, but you and I look the same.”

Duanzi’s small **** didn’t rise at all, but they sounded as cute as ever.

"wrong!"

Tang Yuan hummed again, and said in a milky voice: "Everyone says that you and I are smaller versions of dad, which means you and I look the same. Don't take advantage of me."

Tuanzi: "I am your brother." The implication is that there is nothing wrong with the younger brother acting like the elder brother.

Tangyuan choked and remained silent for a long time.

Looking at his depressed look, Jiang Li and others laughed out loud again.



In a blink of an eye, the day came to receive the notice, and without any surprise, Mingrui once again won the first place in the grade, while Minghan also retained his top spot in the grade.

“I’m still third.”

Sitting in the car going home, Ming Wei glanced at the passenger seat. Seeing that Mingrui didn't turn around, she couldn't help but glare at Minghan: "Don't you know you can let me order?"

Minghan sat next to Mingwei, and the two of them sat in the back seat together. When he heard what Mingwei said, he raised his eyebrows: "How to give in? Could it be that you want me to do the wrong question on purpose, or maybe I know how to do it? But pretending not to know?"

…”

Ming Wei was stunned, not knowing how to answer the question.

“The exam tests your strength. If you answer a question incorrectly, you will lose points. This means that you have not fully understood the knowledge points contained in that question. This is your own problem. What does it have to do with me?”

Looking at Ming Wei, Minghan said: "If I do what I said before, it will be like helping you cheat in disguise. Is this what you want?"

“Are you serious with me?”

Mingwei narrowed her eyes, seeing this, Minghan coughed twice, with a natural look on her face: "Do I have it?"

“You know whether it’s true or not.”

Ming Wei said, casually pinching Minghan's arm next to her, and then said: "I was just joking with you, but you misunderstood me. Second brother, you are worthy of your sister." ?"

“Ouch! It hurts!”

Minghan grinned and rubbed the painful area where Mingwei had just pinched him. He said, "What a cruel attack!"

“If you respond faster, I might believe it.”

She was pretending to be like that. There was no reaction at the moment she pinched her. After she had withdrawn her hand, she pretended to rub the area where she pinched her and cried out in pain. Should she say something: The reflex arc is really amazing. Long enough!

The bodyguard was driving the car. He was originally a very serious person, but when he heard Minghan Mingwei's conversation, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, not to mention Ming Rui's current mood.

Well, he was so stupid by Minghan, no, he didn't look back, but said: "Luo Minghan, you are so childish!"

Ming Wei chuckled softly: "Second brother, did you hear that? Eldest brother said you were childish!"

“Isn’t it all your fault?!”

Glancing at Mingwei, Minghan said, "Just be childish. This way I will be loved more by my mother."

  Being childish means not growing up, so what does it matter if he acts cute and coquettish in front of his mother from time to time?

“I won’t bear the blame.”

Mingwei moved her body, distanced herself from Minghan, and deliberately said with disgust: "I am childish but I don't know it. Second brother, are you afraid that there is something wrong with your brain?"

“Are you saying I’m mentally ill?”

This time it was Minghan's turn to squint his eyes. He looked at Mingwei with a dangerous look.

“Second brother, your ability to understand is really poor! There were clearly three words ‘I’m afraid’ in my sentence, but I didn’t use an affirmative sentence!”

Mingwei's eyes were strange and she felt extremely happy. She gave a serious suggestion: "Since second brother, you think you have a brain disease, you can ask your mother to take you to the hospital for a checkup later. Don't delay any longer. You will be sent to hospital one day." The three hospitals are locked up.”

Minghan grinded her teeth: "Luo Mingwei, do you think I'm a lunatic? Or do you want to treat me as a lunatic and send me to the Third Hospital one day?"

"ah!"

Ming Wei showed an amazed expression: "You have such a rich imagination! You've even linked yourself to mental illness, haha!"

"Luo Mingwei, my mother also said that I have a poisonous mouth. In my opinion, your mouth is much more poisonous than mine. Looking back, I will see who dares to marry you."

Ming Wei's response to Minghan's words was calm and gentle: "Why should I want a man to marry me? Can't I marry a man home? Or, wouldn't it be nice for me to be alone?"

The two brothers and sisters had a lot of fun fighting each other, and until they entered the house, they couldn't tell the winner.

"Mother!"

"Um?"

“Your precious daughter got third place in the exam again. I’m so sad!”

“It’s okay, it’s good to be enterprising, and the fact that you are in third place is not about how bad you are, it’s because when you are working hard, the first and second place in front of you are also working hard, so just look at it.”

"The first place is my second brother, and the second place is Xi Jingyu. It's like they have tied the first and second places for a long time, and don't give others a chance to sit in those two positions."

Hearing Ming Wei’s complaints, Jiang Li’s eyes nearly overflowed with smile. She asked, “Didn’t you look at your academic performance?”

“Look.”

Mingwei answered simply.

“Have you seen any problems from the transcript? For example, compared with last time’s total score and scores in each subject, have you made progress this time or can’t you go back?”

Jiang Li asked with a smile.

Ming Wei tilted her head and thought for a while, then responded: "The total score is eight points higher than last time, and the scores in individual subjects have improved."

"do you understand?"

Jiang Li asked again.

…”

Ming Wei’s eyes were confused, what should she understand?

“Silly girl, your academic performance has improved. This means that you have defeated the you who took the last exam. Are you happy?”

"Um."

“If you are happy, why do you complain?”

…”

"Weiwei, we have to be ourselves and compare ourselves with ourselves instead of comparing ourselves with others. In this way, we will become open-minded and know whether we have made progress, so we know what to do next. But if you If you blindly compare yourself with others, over time, you will feel tired and dissatisfied, and your negative emotions will gradually increase. Sooner or later, you will overwhelm yourself, ignore your own efforts and contributions, ignore that you have actually made progress, and that you are no worse than others. , do you think this is good?"

"not good."

“Then what are you going to do next?”

“Compare yourself with who you were yesterday.”

“Very good. Are you feeling better now?”

"Um."

“My daughter is so smart!”

Rubbing Ming Wei's head, Jiang Li smiled gently: "Okay, go back to your room and pack your luggage. We will leave for our hometown in three days."

“I’m going to clean it up right now.”

Mingwei immediately smiled and ran towards the wing room where she lived.

Since the courtyard at Shuimu University is quite large and has many rooms, children of all sizes in the family will undoubtedly have their own rooms.

Of course, a room with Ron is indispensable.

After all, Ron would come to live in the courtyard every now and then to stay in touch with his older brothers, sisters, and younger siblings.



The next day.

After lunch, Jiang Li and the chef made a lot of snacks in the kitchen. When it was mid-afternoon, she packed a lot of the snacks, put them into her travel bag, and packed them for Luo Yanqing. After grabbing a few sets of clothes, I set off for the institute.

“Mom’s car is already far away!”

At the gate of the courtyard, Guoguo blinked her eyes and watched Jiang Li's car driving into the distance. She actually wanted to follow her mother to visit her father, but her sister shook her head at him and signaled her not to follow her mother. Why?

"Um."

Mingwei nodded in response, and then she said: "Let's go, it's cold outside, let's go home and warm up quickly."

Holding Guoguo in her arms, Mingwei turned around and entered the yard.

Mingrui Minghan followed with dumplings and glutinous rice **** in his hands.

Fu Ma and Axiang were the last to enter the yard.

“Sister, why don’t you let me go with my mother? Guoguo wants to see her father in her dream!”

When the heating stove is burning in the living room, as soon as you enter the door, there is a clear difference between the temperature inside and outside.

"Sister knows that you miss dad, and you also know that you miss Tangyuan and the eldest and second brothers. Sister also misses dad, but the person dad wants to see most is mom. If we go together, it will affect mom and dad. "

“Guoguo doesn’t understand.”

"Silly goose!"

This is the sound of glutinous rice balls.

“Fifth brother is bad, I am not a little fool!”

The fruity voice rebutted.

Tangyuan: "Luo Mingxi, if we are following, how can daddy kiss mommy?"

Guo Guo: “Just kiss like that!”

Tangyuan: “What’s that like?”

Guoguo: "Fifth brother is stupid, just like we kiss our mother, and our mother kisses us, doesn't dad even know how to do this?"

Tangyuan: "Dad, would you be embarrassed?" Guoguo: "Why?"

Tang Yuan: “Because we are around to make light bulbs.”

Tilted his head and thought for a while, Guoguo said in a milky voice: "The light bulb is bright, isn't it good for parents to light up?"

Tangyuan asked: "No. Dad will feel embarrassed. Do you understand now?"

“I seem to understand!”

 Guo Guo nodded her little head thoughtfully and said, "Dad is thin-skinned and wants to kiss mom, but because we are around, he is embarrassed to ask for a kiss from mom like us kids, right?"

“That’s right, that’s it.”

The glutinous rice **** are dotted with little heads.

“Well, it’s a good thing we didn’t make light bulbs, so Dad wouldn’t feel embarrassed!”

As Guoguo said, he asked Tuanzi: "Fourth brother, am I right?"

"Um."

Tuanzi nodded seriously.

 Guoguo asked Mingrui and Minghan again: "Big brother and second brother, what do you think?"

"Yes, just like you said, if we go with mom, dad is thin-skinned and wants to kiss mom or ask for a kiss from mom, he will definitely not be able to do it." Minghan said with a smile, feeling that Guo Guo The glutinous rice **** and dumplings are really cute.

Mingrui: "You are right."

At such a big age, Mingrui can see clearly better than anyone else. In Luo Yanqing's eyes, there is only one Jiang Li, and as for children, they are absolutely unnecessary.

Even the three younger ones are not as lovable in the eyes of the old father as the three older ones!

Feeling that their presence affects him and their mother to show affection.

Jiang Li didn't drive very fast. After all, there was no need to rush, so he just drove at a normal speed.

So, when the car drove into the institute, there was less than an hour left before get off work.

After taking out the things in the bag and putting them away, Jiang Li went to Director Song's office and gave the godfather some snacks and a black mid-length down jacket.

“Li Bao! Why are you here? It’s so cold, how can it be so cold!”

Hearing the knock on the door, Director Song said casually, "Come in." When the office door was pushed open, he looked up and saw Jiang Li. He was immediately surprised, but in a moment his eyes were filled with distress.

“Let me see you and Luo Yanqing.”

Jiang Li smiled and put the brown paper bag containing snacks on the coffee table, then took out a down jacket from another bag and asked, "Isn't this busy?"

"not busy."

Director Song shook his head.

“Then try this down jacket. I bought one for you and Luo Yanqing.”

Unzipping the down jacket, Jiang Li looked at Director Song and said, "The quality of this down jacket is very good. It's very warm to wear."

"In the past few years, you have bought a lot of clothes for me and your godmother. You have bought us two down jackets alone. Your godfather and I can't even wear all the clothes now. How good of you, you bought another down jacket this year. , What are you spending this money on?”

Director Song stood up helplessly. He walked out from behind the desk and put on his down jacket with the help of Jiang Li.

Appropriate length and size.

“It fits well.”

Jiang Li's eyes were full of smiles.

"Um."

Director Song nodded.

Taking off his down jacket and handing it to Jiang Li, Director Song said, "I basically sit in the office every day, so I don't need to wear a down jacket at all."

“Don’t you always go to the cafeteria to eat? Don’t you go to other office buildings?”

Jiang Li folded the down jacket and returned it to the packaging bag. She said with a smile: "Although it has not snowed so far this year, the temperature is lower than in previous years. It is dry and cold, and the wind is strong. It is impossible not to wear warm clothes."

“Okay, okay, godfather listens to you, just wear warm clothes when you go out.”

Director Song said with loving eyes, and then asked: "You came over suddenly, is there something wrong?"

"Um."

Jiang Li nodded and said, "The office is busy and Luo Yanqing doesn't have time to take a vacation. I plan to take the children back to my hometown to celebrate the New Year. It just so happens that my grandpa is celebrating his birthday at home. If I go back early, I can also help with something."

“An old man’s birthday is a happy and important event. You, my granddaughter, have to go back.”

Director Song said: "Yan Qing probably won't have time to rest during the Spring Festival. Otherwise, it would be great to have him accompany you back to your hometown."

“I know he is busy.”

Jiang Li smiled and asked, "Did Luo Yanqing eat on time?"

"Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on you. If that kid doesn't go to the cafeteria to eat, I'll take it to him personally. I'll watch him finish the meal, close his eyes and rest for half an hour before allowing him to re-enter. to work.”

“You didn’t stay up late, did you?”

…“…occasionally, but not all night.”

"The body is the capital of the revolution. If you tire yourself out, you can't talk about making a contribution to the country."

“That’s the truth.”

Director Song nodded in agreement.



As soon as the off-duty time came, Director Song helped Jiang Li make a call to Luo Yanqing's project research team. When he learned that his wife had come to the institute, Luo Yanqing rarely asked his subordinates to finish today's work.

He Wei and other members of the project team were all happy, and they all thought that it was Jiang Li who came to visit Luo Yanqing. Otherwise, their workaholic team leader Luo would never let them get off work so early.

After Luo Yanqing left, He Wei asked his colleague Yang Fan: "Xiao Yang, who called the team leader?"

“Director.”

Yang Fan was relatively close to the phone and heard the ringing. He picked up the phone and heard Director Song's voice coming from inside. Therefore, when He Wei asked at this moment, he naturally didn't hide it.

“Did the director say that Comrade Jiang is here and wants our team leader to get off work as soon as possible?”

He Wei is full of gossip.

Yang Fan: "I don't know about this. The director just said that our team leader should answer the phone." This researcher Yang has been working in the institute for less than three years. He is considered a young man, but his work ability is quite good. He is very good to Luo Yanqing. value.

He Wei: "I guess it's probably the team leader's lover. Comrade Jiang is here. Otherwise, our team leader wouldn't leave work for us right now."

Yang Fan: “It makes sense.”

Another researcher echoed: "It does make sense. In the past, whenever Comrade Jiang came to the institute, the team leader would get off work on time."

 Seeing Wen Siyuan walking toward the door, He Wei said hello to the other researchers who had not yet left, and then followed Wen Siyuan: "Why didn't you call me?"

“You and Xiao Yang are talking.”

Wen Siyuan replied casually.

“Then you can call me!”

The two of them were walking side by side. He Wei said, "With such a strong relationship between us, wouldn't your conscience hurt if you don't call me for dinner?"

"Won't."

Wen Siyuan’s answer was straightforward.

“Old Wen, you...you hurt me!”

He Wei deliberately made a face: "How can this be done?"

“Can you stop being so naughty with me?”

Wen Siyuan looked at He Wei, who looked like he had a headache: "I really don't have the heart to talk to you."

Hearing this, He Wei was silent. After a moment, he said, "How long has it been since this happened and you still haven't let it go?"

Wen Siyuan knew what He Wei was referring to, but he didn't want to say more.

He Wei: "It's just a matter of women. I don't think it's difficult at all to find another one based on your conditions."

To be honest, He Wei never thought that Wen Siyuan would get divorced again. After all, divorce is not a good thing. Divorcing once would already hurt your face. Who would have nothing to do and choose to divorce for the second time without caring about their own face?

But it was such a coincidence that an example like Wen Siyuan appeared next to him.

I was living a good life, but suddenly I divorced my wife Song Ning, and later married a little girl, which made many people envious. What was the result? It's time to get divorced again.

He Wei didn't know what Wen Siyuan was thinking. He couldn't see through it anyway.

Especially when Wen Siyuan chose to divorce Song Ning, He Wei felt that Wen Siyuan was probably out of his mind and had to end their marriage with a woman who was a good wife and mother.

Although they have a good relationship, divorce is Wen Siyuan's private matter. As a colleague and friend, he tried to persuade her, but the other party didn't listen.

Recalling what he said when he persuaded Wen Siyuan, He Wei couldn't help but fell silent.

Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite, and there may be some things that he doesn't know. That's why Wen Siyuan chose to divorce again and again.

To save his friend from having to do anything, He Wei decided not to mention topics that Wen Siyuan didn’t want to talk about.

“I don’t want to look for it anymore.”

There was no emotion in Wen Siyuan's voice: "One person, one life. I am not as lucky as the team leader. I can marry a good woman like Comrade Jiang who cares about her family and her husband and children. Since marriage is already a burden to me, I It’s not bad to be single for the rest of your life.”

He Wei: "Comrade Jiang is good, but such a good woman is not easy to find."

"It's hard to find someone, that's why I said I'm not as lucky as the team leader." Wen Siyuan smiled bitterly: "I'm not afraid of your jokes. I regret divorcing Song Ning, but I felt like I was blinded by lard." , after listening to my mother’s words, she insisted on getting a divorce regardless of Song Ning’s reluctance to let go of the child, and went through the divorce procedures with her.”

He Wei advised: "Marriage is not a matter of one person. If you are not in harmony or have other conflicts, which makes you have to choose divorce, don't blame yourself."

Wen Siyuan shook his head: "No, there is no emotional discord between me and Song Ning, nor is there any conflict. It is my fault. I am just nitpicking. I don't want to live with Song Ning. She has nothing wrong at all. It's just a pity. …It’s a pity that I realized my mistake too late! Later, when I married Suman, it was because I didn’t know people well, which caused the marriage to break up again. Sometimes I couldn’t help but think that maybe the first marriage failed because of it. The punishment of marriage."

“You’re overthinking, aren’t you! This is a new society, we can’t engage in any feudal superstition!”

Patting Wen Siyuan's shoulder, He Wei smiled: "Troublesome things will eventually pass, just like there may not be a rainbow after the storm, but there will be dawn after walking through the dark night."

This chicken soup made Wen Siyuan involuntarily startled. After a moment, he glanced sideways at He Wei and said, "What if we can't walk through this dark night?"

“Old Wen, you are a little bit arrogant!”

He Wei smiled and said haha.

Wen Siyuan: "But I still want to thank you for trying to comfort me. It's hard work."

He Wei raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "We are seeing each other, aren't we?! We are as close as brothers, and I can't do it to see you unhappy all day long."

The two walked to the dormitory building while chatting, and saw Luo Yanqing walking out of the building holding a lunch box in one hand and holding Jiang Li in the other.

After saying hello to Luo Yanqing first, He Wei turned his eyes to Jiang Li: "Comrade Jiang is here?!"

Hearing this, Jiang Li smiled and nodded "Yeah".

Wen Siyuan nodded towards Jiang Li, and Jiang Li nodded towards the other party. The two of them greeted each other.

"Cold?"

After Wen Siyuan and the other two entered the dormitory, Luo Yanqing put the hand holding Jiang Li into his coat pocket: "Why don't you go back to the dormitory and wait?"

"Need not."

Jiang Li shook her head, with a smile lingering in her clear and soft eyes: "I want to go for a walk with you."

Then catch the insects. . .
