sleepless tonight

Chapter 1 The Ex-Wife
"Dad, I'm going to school."

In a daze, I heard this voice.

dad?

I'm only in my third year of high school. I just finished my college entrance examination. I had dinner with my classmates. I drank a lot of wine under indulgence. That's all. How did I become a father all of a sudden?

Are you dreaming?

"The teacher said that he would charge ten yuan as a donation fee." The voice rang again in my ear.

The girl's voice, you can tell that she won't be very old just by listening to the voice, it is very clear and pleasant to hear, but there is a trace of worry and helplessness in her tone.

The voice was so clear that I woke up suddenly, and when I opened my eyes, I saw a little girl standing in front of me.

The girl is very handsome, but she has the appearance of a beauty at a young age. She has a ponytail and black hair. She is seven or eight years old and is looking at me with a pink schoolbag on her back.

The eyebrows and eyes are indeed somewhat similar to mine.

"Are you talking to me?" I asked, seeing the surrounding environment out of the corner of my eye, I was a little dazed and panicked.

This is not a hotel, but a home.

On the anti-theft net on the window, there are a few clothes hanging, and a few pots of flowers and plants under it, one of which is already empty, and a cabinet is placed in the corner of one side.

Combs, toilet paper, mirrors, and a few clothes that had been taken off and hadn't been changed in time were placed in a mess on the cabinet. There seemed to be a few pieces of paper diapers on the clothes.

There is a shoe cabinet at the door, with some dust on it, it seems that it has not been wiped for a long time, beside the shoe cabinet, there is a square table with a red plastic vegetable cover on the table, and there are two dishes under it, covering it, look Not real.

"Dad, I'm not talking to you. Could it be that I'm talking to my sister?" the girl said, "Today is the deadline. The teacher said that you must bring ten yuan, otherwise you will be criticized."

And a younger sister?
I was shocked again, and finally noticed the position of the foot of the bed. There was a baby bed, made of wood, with some quilts inside. I sat up and took a look inside.

Sure enough, there was a child lying in the crib, soundly asleep, and seemed to be only about one year old.

I touched my lower lip, which was a little prickly.

I panicked, got out of bed, ran to the cabinet and picked up the small round mirror, and couldn't wait to look at myself in the mirror.

Seeing this, he was stunned.

In the mirror, although I can vaguely see my appearance when I was there, I am eight or nine years older, my childishness has completely disappeared, and I have matured a lot. A lot of scum had grown out, and the hair was still a little greasy.

At this time, I no longer doubt it. It is very likely that because of the indulgence after the college entrance examination, I have somehow arrived in eight or nine years.

In other words, the me now is the me after eight or nine years, but I can't recall the memories of these few years, as if I have amnesia.

"Is there no money?" The little girl said again, a little aggrieved and a little scared in her voice.

Probably because I was worried about being punished and criticized by the teacher.

"If you have money, how can you have no money? Isn't it just ten yuan? Wait a minute." I said hurriedly, and then searched around.

His pockets are all empty, except for a pack of cigarettes, there is no money.

"Well... do you know where I put the money?" I was a little embarrassed, and turned to the little girl, "I fell asleep a little bit, my head is still dizzy, and my memory is not very good."

"You keep the money in your pocket all the time." The little girl said.

"But I don't have any in my pocket, not even a dime." I said, "I don't even have a bank card."

Suddenly, I thought of a possibility, and I showed an expression of enlightenment: "I remembered, is it possible that the money and bank card are with your mother, and she hid them?"

I temporarily accepted my identity, and the reasons behind it will be explored later.

Since I have two daughters, it means that I am married and having sex.It's just that I feel a little regretful that I haven't felt the pleasure of sex, but suddenly I have two daughters.

This thing feels weird.

"Dad, are you okay?" The little girl looked at me worriedly, "Mom left us half a year ago, how could she hide your money?"

Wife ran away?

"Why did she leave?" I was a little annoyed.

"Mom said you are not motivated. You have been married for so many years. You are too lazy to go out to work. You only want to write novels. You only earn a few hundred yuan a month. You don't even have enough money for your sister's milk powder. I have had enough of you and left. " said the little girl.

Ok.

I sighed, I had no impression at all.

"Don't worry, I'll look for it again. In such a big family, I don't believe that I can't find any money." I comforted the little girl, that is, my daughter, and then searched around again unwillingly.

Finally, the emperor paid off, I pouted my buttocks and took out a one-dollar coin from under the bed.

"Dad has money, see? Take it to your teacher." I brushed off the dust on the coins, wiped them on my body twice, and handed them to my daughter.

"Just one dollar?" The daughter took the coin, not feeling very excited.

"You are wrong, how can you have this kind of thinking?" I was a little unhappy, and the education criticized, "Donation cannot be mandatory, it has to be voluntary. Your teacher requires everyone to donate ten yuan. It’s not right to do it.”

"Besides, as long as there is love, even a dime is a good deed. One dollar is no different from ten yuan. Come on, go to school quickly, don't be late."

"Oh." The daughter seemed to understand a little bit, she was in a better mood, and hurried out the door.

With no one in the house except a sleeping baby, I breathed a sigh of relief and walked around the house, trying to find some useful clues to deal with the situation I was facing.

This house is not big, less than [-] square meters, with kitchen and bathroom, but only one room. The bedroom, dining room, and living room are all crowded together. In the drawer, I found a photo under the clothes.

There are four people in the photo.

One is the little girl just now, the other is a baby in swaddling clothes, and there are two other people, one is me, and the other woman is 23 or [-] years old, very beautiful, standing beside me with her baby in her arms, she should be my wife.

This woman is 1.7 meters tall, only seven or eight centimeters shorter than me. She is very tall among women. She is very capable, has a good face, and is very beautiful.

It's just that when this photo was taken, the woman seemed to have something on her mind, she was not very emotional, and her brows were slightly frowned.

"I have no impression at all." I muttered, I don't know the woman in the photo at all.

They must have known each other after high school.

"Did Tang Wan and I not be able to get together in the end?" When I was in high school, I had someone I liked. I originally thought that she would not marry in the future, but unexpectedly, I married another woman and had children.

On the back of the photo, there are several names connected together with a heart-shaped pattern in the middle.

"Chen Jin, um, it's my name." I muttered softly, "Tong Wangjun, it should be this woman's name, Wangjun, this name is interesting, her parents must be very disappointed to have a daughter."

"Sure enough, I don't know him. I've never heard of the name Tong Wangjun. Chen Ke, Chen Le, these should be the names of the two daughters. I don't know who came up with it. I have no impression at all."

In the seven or eight years in between, I don't have any memory at all, it's blank, and I can't think about it.

On the messy bed, I found another homework book, with Chen Ke written in the name column, and the class is Class [-], Grade [-].

The one sleeping in the crib must not be able to write, so Chen Ke can only be the name of the eldest daughter, and the daughter in the crib is Chen Le.

Lifting off the plastic dish cover on the table, I was a little dazed when I saw two unfinished dishes.

There is a plate of cabbage with a small half left, and a plate with more than half of white radish left.

"This family looks very poor." I murmured.

There is no meat in the two dishes, but these two dishes are common vegetables, very cheap, and they used to be the scene dishes in the school cafeteria.

I didn't expect that I, who have a good family background, would be reduced to this point.

"When Chen Ke went out just now, he didn't seem to have had breakfast." Looking at the food on the table, I suddenly realized this problem.

I couldn't find ten yuan, so Chen Ke naturally didn't have any money to go outside too early. I went to the kitchen to search for a while, and the rice tank was empty, and the trash can was full of noodle packaging bags, which were still the cheapest kind of noodles. .

Thinking back to when I was in high school, my family was well-off, and the living expenses for a week were more than 300 yuan, while ordinary students only had 100 yuan. When did I get so miserable?
Thinking of the scene of Chen Ke attending class hungry in the classroom, I suddenly felt a little sad.

Someone knocked on the door, I walked over, opened the door, and there was a beautiful woman standing outside the door, it was the woman named Tong Wangjun in the photo I just saw.

my daughter-in-law.
