I'm almost 45 and the system is just coming

Chapter 148 Emotional breakdown
After dinner, Zhou Tian took the initiative to clean up the dishes. After going to the kitchen to wash them, he sat back on the sofa and looked at Wang Fen who was watching TV.

"Honey, don't you have anything to ask me?"

Zhou Tian's words immediately made Wang Fen, who was watching TV, roll her eyes at him and ask, "Then is there anything else I don't know?"

After hearing this, Zhou Tian didn't know how to respond. He wanted to show off to his wife that he had been promoted to section chief, but his wife's question now meant that if he told her now, he would be hiding something from her.

However, Zhou Tian thought about it and decided to tell it out. After all, this matter could not be concealed at all. Since he had chosen to work, he definitely could not stay at home in the future.

Rather than letting my wife find out, I might as well tell her now.

"Honey, I got a promotion!"

Zhou Tian stared at Wang Fen's pretty face and said seriously.

"Promoted?"

Sure enough, as Zhou Tian finished speaking, Wang Fen also looked at him, but when she saw his serious expression, she couldn't help but ask: "Husband, are you telling the truth?"

It's no wonder Wang Fen didn't believe it. In her opinion, her husband had only been in the system for less than a year, and he was not young anymore, especially now that the country is constantly promoting the rejuvenation of cadres.

She thought it was impossible for her husband to get a promotion at his age. How could she believe it when she heard the news that her husband had been promoted?

"it is true!"

Zhou Tian nodded seriously, and afraid that his wife wouldn't believe him, he took out his new work ID and handed it to Wang Fen.

Wang Fen took the work ID and quickly looked down. When she saw the word "Section Chief" written behind her husband's title, her beautiful eyes suddenly turned red.

Crystal clear tears began to accumulate in my eyes.

"Honey, what's wrong with you?"

Seeing that his wife looked like she was about to cry, Zhou Tian asked hurriedly in confusion.

In his opinion, it was a good thing that he could get a promotion, but why did his wife look like she was about to cry?

He was confused for a moment and reached out to wipe the corners of his wife's eyes.

"what are you doing?"

Unexpectedly, his wife slapped his hand away, then rolled her eyes at Zhou Tian, ​​wiped the tears from her eyes and said, "I'm so happy, I'm crying for joy, do you know that?"

You know, the reason why she married Zhou Tian was, on the one hand, because Zhou Tian showed amazing writing talent when he was in junior high school. He was planning to publish a magazine for students in the school, but unfortunately, it came to a halt due to lack of funds.

At that time, Zhou Tian was not only popular with girls because of his good looks, but also had amazing talent. It can be said that he was a prominent figure in the school.

Unfortunately, when they were in high school, the two spent a lot of energy and time on their relationship. Zhou Tian, ​​because of his good foundation, was eventually admitted to a technical college in the city, but she became a kindergarten teacher because she failed to get into university.

Later, because they had not yet married, the two of them secretly ate the fruit of love. She became pregnant and became a mother at a young age. Fortunately, they finally got married.

Nearly a year after they got married, their child was born. For the sake of the child, both of them chose to work. Life as a worker was not easy, especially since DT City was a fifth-tier city and the salary was very low. The combined monthly salary of both of them was not as much as Zhou Tian's father's monthly salary.

But even so, the two of them were still in love for three years. Later, because of the tight financial situation, Zhou Tian chose to work in the mine, a dangerous job. He worked there for four or five years, but because he could not get a permanent job, he was still a temporary worker with low salary and high risk. He resigned from the coal mine and was introduced to a sewage treatment plant.

Now when she thinks about the hardships she had endured and the current living conditions at home, how can she not cry? This is not being pretentious, but an expression from the bottom of her heart.

Especially every time she went back to her parents' home, her parents' complaints about her husband made her argue and quarrel with them every time, which made her feel mentally exhausted. Now everything is finally fine. Not only has her husband entered the system, he has also become a section chief. She wants to see if her parents' home will still look down on him in the future.

After sobbing for a few times, Wang Fen finally stopped and looked at her husband with tearful eyes, who was becoming younger and more handsome.

"Hubby, no one will look down on you anymore!"

His wife's words immediately broke Zhou Tian's defenses. Even though he had learned not to show his emotions easily, just these few words made his heart collapse instantly.

Tears couldn't help but flow down my eyes.

An unspeakable sadness suddenly surged into my heart.

"Yes! No one will look down on me anymore!"

As Zhou Tian spoke, he couldn't stop crying. The salty taste in his mouth made him feel extremely bitter.

For forty-three years, Zhou Tian has been in an endless cycle of working, quitting, and working again. And every time he takes out his and his wife's salary, the total is only five or six thousand.

In order to give their children a good education, they are reluctant to spend money on clothes and food. For the sake of face, they are unwilling to show embarrassment in front of the elderly in each family. They only spend one or two thousand yuan to buy supplements for their parents every time they visit their parents.

You pretend to be nice in front of others, but behind their backs, you are the only one who can taste your own bitterness.

Sometimes, when there was really no other way, he had to go home and talk to his parents, listening to their scolding and all kinds of sarcasm from his sister's mouth.

To be honest, as a man, a head of the family, and a father, he always felt that he was incompetent. Fortunately, everything is over now. Since the system came into being, he has finally turned around. From an ordinary person looked down upon by everyone, he has finally become an envied civil servant, entered the system, and now has become a section chief.

However, the bitterness of the past was completely aroused in his memories by his wife's words now. With tears in his eyes, he lowered his head, and slowly, as the bitter past began to disappear, his emotions completely eased.

He wiped the tears from his eyes, looked at his wife and said, "Yes, we will never be looked down upon again, and we won't have to beg anyone for anything anymore!"

Seeing his wife still crying, he reached out to wipe away her tears. This time his wife did not refuse and quietly let Zhou Tian wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Taking a deep breath, Zhou Tian looked at Wang Fen tenderly: "Wife, you have suffered a lot over the years!"

As he said this, he hugged Wang Fen's delicate body tightly in his arms.

"If it's not bitter, why should I suffer? It's you who suffers instead!"

As Wang Fen spoke, she also hugged Zhou Tian tightly with her delicate hands. After all, after so many years of marriage, Zhou Tian was the head of the family. If the family was not doing well, everyone would push the pressure on him.

Every time Wang Fen sees her husband unable to sleep all night because of stress, she feels distressed, because she knows that it is not because her husband does not work hard or strive, but because he cannot let go of her and the children.

And she couldn't bear to leave her husband. Although the family might be poorer in her hometown, at least they supported each other all the way.
