When I said these words, my friend Pearl Krabs suddenly took a sip of coffee, and the sunset slanted into the French window of the cafe and fell on her disappointed face.
Pearl Krabs said that she knew very well that her boyfriend still loved her, but she knew more clearly that in a man's heart, one thing is always more important than love, and that is fame and fortune.
Pearl Krabs and her boyfriend met in senior three. Walking together didn't say it wasn't a match. At that time, Pearl Krabs decided that her boyfriend was her future husband, and she was faithful to him.
In the four years after graduation, Pearl Krabs and her boyfriend went to several cities. They went to Beijing first. When she first settled in Beijing, her boyfriend held Pearl Krabs's hand and said that one day he would definitely let Pearl Krabs live in a house with 100 square meter and bright windows. Pearl Krabs said that she already had love, so she believed that they would have everything in the future.
But the work in Beijing was not smooth, and my boyfriend went to Shanghai again. Pearl Krabs had to quit his job and go to Shanghai with him. In other words, boyfriends have changed in Shanghai in recent years. He works very hard. As the department head of a small employee in a foreign company, he feels that he has done his best.
Even so, they are untenable, and it is difficult for him as a foreigner to buy a house.
Sometimes, Pearl Krabs looks at her boyfriend's sleeping face because he is so tired. She really couldn't bear to mention the house again, but her parents kept putting pressure on her and him. In those days, Pearl Krabs's parents made the biggest concession and ran away from home. The house is their bottom line, and Pearl Krabs's boyfriend knows it very well. At first, he promised Pearl Krabs's parents. If he can't afford a house in five years, he won't delay Pearl Krabs any longer.
However, in Pearl Krabs's view, this is a tactic to delay troops. As long as their parents give them a chance to get along, can they afford a house in five years? After her boyfriend worked overtime for countless nights, Pearl Krabs lost sleep. She thought, at the moment, her boyfriend is contributing to their new home, and the day they have been waiting for has finally arrived.
Marriage was put forward by Pearl Krabs, and she can't wait for the fifth year. For a woman who has lived with her boyfriend for three or four years, her good times are not many. In fact, in recent years, she and he just sent a piece of paper to prove that she and he are best friends, but she did everything a wife should do.
Pearl Krabs learned to wash clothes and cook, and also learned to save money. When she is not at work, she is no different from other housewives. Only that paper can prove the difference.
But her boyfriend didn't agree. He said she couldn't let her future father-in-law look down on him. If he realizes cowardice, he will never raise his head in front of his family. Pearl Krabs knows her boyfriend's stubborn temper, and no one can convince him.
Pearl Krabs thinks that the worst result is that two people get married naked and no one rents a house to get married. As long as there is love, everything will be there. Pearl Krabs wrote in his diary: There will be bread, milk and everything.
The power of love is really great, which can make a woman desperate and abandon everything to pursue the person she loves, but sometimes love is so small, because it is probably not worth mentioning in front of fame and fortune.
Finally, her boyfriend had a showdown with Pearl Krabs. He said he was tired. Over the years, his mind was full of houses, cars and tickets, but the harder he worked, the worse his luck became. He is tired and tired to get those things. He looked at Pearl Krabs and said that he really wanted to marry the Pearl Krabs family and wait for happiness in his life. But now he began to doubt whether they were suitable together.
The bitterness of these years told him that love can't be eaten. What price will he pay to settle down for their love? He didn't dare to imagine, because he clearly knew it would be a very difficult thing.
In fact, this is not what Pearl Krabs wants to hear. Of course, she knew that what he said was foreshadowing, and the key point was behind, but he had been slow to say it. Finally, Pearl Krabs asked him if there was anyone more suitable for marriage. Her boyfriend was silent at first, and then he burst into tears.
He finally admitted that he had lost to reality. Girls with Shanghai hukou have a stable retirement salary. Their family has two houses, one of which can be used as a dowry for their daughter. Moreover, they valued him, and the bride price was also retired.
Pearl Krabs didn't catch the details. In the end, she only saw her boyfriend's mouth closed in front of her, leaving only a few words in her mind. He can't marry her.
My boyfriend told Pearl Krabs in tears that the ancients praised love, but they finally accepted the reality. They once said: "It is better to forget the rivers and lakes than to share them with each other." For people who live in different places and have no background, it may be right to leave each other. Maybe everyone can find a more suitable person without each other.
Pearl Krabs knew that her boyfriend was moved by the superior conditions of the local family, so he would rather give up his five-year relationship and seize this opportunity. Maybe his life has nothing to do with nine to five and endless pressure.
If you really love someone, it's hard to hate him, just like Pearl Krabs's feelings for her boyfriend. She knows that he is a man in trouble, so she can't hold too much resentment against him. After all, living well is more important than love.
Pearl Krabs wrote in Time: "After five years of love, he married someone else." Since then, she has never opened her diary.
Some people will choose to go all out in the face of pressure, but the pressure of life may be different from what we think. You don't know what kind of pressure is the last straw to overwhelm you. It has been said that no snowflake is innocent when an avalanche happens.
Pearl Krabs still loves her boyfriend more than hates him, and sometimes she can't even hate him, because she knows that men shoulder more important tasks than women, and women can spend a lot of time fantasizing about romantic things. However, in the hearts of men like boyfriends, love has never been so important, and Pearl Krabs has been blessing her boyfriend in her heart. She knew he wouldn't be so tired for a while. As for the future, she still doesn't want to guess.
