In Qicheng, the master bedroom of Unit 201, Building 14, in the third row from the bottom of the south end of Qiyun Garden Community, still has a light yellow warm-toned light.
At the end of the cold winter, the heater was still on in the room. Luo Xiyun had just coaxed the two girls to sleep, and she bent down to tuck the two little babies into bed.
She did these tasks very seriously, otherwise if she wasn't paying attention, the two of them would fall out of bed and sleep naked for most of the night.
After finishing all these things, Luo Xiyun's fair face had a faint blush.
She sat next to the edge of the bed for a while, turned to look at her two daughters, and then glanced at the small bedroom. Then she thought about her husband who was drunk on the sofa bed outside for running business, and thought about the terrible results on his physical examination report.
After receiving the test results, my initial hesitation became more determined.
I bent down and took out an EMS mailing document bag from the second drawer of the bedside table on the left. I took a deep breath, turned off the light, closed the door, and went to the living room.
The lights were still on in the living room. In order to complete a business, Xia Zekai drank too much with the customer who was in charge of supply tonight. His wife, who smelled of tobacco and alcohol, kicked him out and fell asleep on the sofa.
Hearing the sound of the door opening and closing, he opened his eyes subconsciously, but strangely, his eyes that should have been cloudy due to excessive alcohol gradually regained their clarity.
Luo Xiyun was thinking about something very complicated at the moment, but she didn't notice this.
She raised her legs and walked around the coffee table in front of the sofa, and sat on the side where Xia Zekai's head rested on the back of the sofa.
The next moment, Xia Zekai smelled a familiar light mint fragrance in his nose. He had been young for twenty years, and he knew that this was his wife's favorite shower gel fragrance.
But even though all of this was very familiar, Xia Zekai still cried in his heart: "How come old women in their forties have become younger?"
"Have I taken possession of myself?" Xia Zekai thought that he might as well just sleep to death.
Luo Xiyun sat on the sofa and struggled for a while. She finally made up her mind and said, "Zekai, wake up. I have something to talk to you about."
Xia Zekai sat up following his wife's words, which shocked Luo Xiyun. She looked at her husband angrily: "Zekai, you are pretending to sleep!"
"No, I just had a nightmare and I woke up from a fright." Xia Zekai had a complicated mind. He was afraid that the more he said, the more mistakes he would make, so he simply stopped talking.
Luo Xiyun said "Oh" and didn't care. She said, "Zekai, I want to discuss something with you."
"Go ahead, I'll listen." Xia Zekai said.
Luo Xiyun looked at the 70-square-meter home in front of her, which included a coffee table, a sofa, a shoe cabinet, and a TV cabinet. She said, "Zekai, do you think our family's
The house is a bit small.”
Xia Zekai nodded: "It's a bit small. I didn't have that much money in the past. It would have been better if I had borrowed another 20,000 to 30,000 yuan to buy a three-bedroom apartment."
"Well, I don't blame you. I never thought I would give birth to twins at that time." Luo Xiyun was very considerate.
Xia Zekai shook his head slightly, thinking about his future glory, and said firmly: "Xiyun, don't worry, give me another year or two, and we will buy a bigger house."
Luo Xiyun didn't believe it, she said: "It's not that simple. I know you can earn 100,000 or 80,000 yuan a year now. Compared with our neighbors, it is indeed a lot. But Yatou and Tongtong will earn 100,000 yuan a year next month."
They are about to go to kindergarten. The cost is 800 for one person and 1,600 for two people, which is higher than our house mortgage. We also need to enroll them in interest classes. If the expenses are too high, we will not be able to save money at all. What will we exchange for a house then?"
"Don't worry, daughter-in-law, give me another year and our family will definitely be able to change their house." Xia Zekai now has many ways to make a fortune, but without exception, he has to give him a little time.
Luo Xiyun didn't ask where his confidence came from. He just thought he was comforting himself, smiled at him, and then raised the EMS express bag in his hand: "Zekai, I passed the Six Sigma Black Test and brought it here.
It’s the certificate that was just mailed to me.”
"Why are you taking that exam...Oh, you just told me so much, you want to find a job?" Xia Zekai knew this.
For those who are engaged in quality, this certificate is undoubtedly a strong guarantee of "high salary".
He also remembered that after his two daughters went to junior high school, his wife took this thing and went out to find a high-paying job in a foreign company, which provided her with a secure future. Then he resigned from the company and started his own business.
I never expected that some family property that I had just accumulated would be formatted.
Luo Xiyun shook his head: "No..."
"Then why are you taking this exam? If you're really bored, you can go to Taobao to choose clothes, shoes, etc. for you three." Xia Zekai muttered.
Before he finished speaking, Luo Xiyun interrupted him: "Zekai, I have found a job with a foreign company that has just come to our city. I passed the interview and I am waiting to join the company in March."
She looked straight at her husband and continued: "The treatment I will receive is a monthly salary of 12.5K before tax, with a monthly deduction of 16% for five social insurances and one housing fund. After deducting personal income tax and other subsidies, I will be guaranteed to receive 10,000 yuan a month."
If you have more than 100,000 yuan, you will receive a year-end bonus of three times your monthly salary at the end of the year. After one year, you will get more than 150,000 yuan."
"If you include the provident fund, it will be about 170,000 yuan a year. After excluding food, drinks and other expenses at home, I calculated that the remaining 70,000 to 80,000 yuan will be no problem. I think I can go to work and earn more money.
Let's sell this house in the next two or three years, and then we can buy a bigger house."
"Then, you watch Yatou and Tongtong at home, taking them to and from school..."
Speaking of this, Luo Xiyun felt very uneasy in her heart, fearing that her husband would not be able to think about it and would not be able to accept this reality.
After all, it has almost become a routine for men to earn money to support the family while women stay at home to take care of the children and take care of the housework. Now that it is the other way around, she feels that her husband should not step aside!
But no, Xia Zekai looked at her with a half-smile, the drunkenness on his face slowly subsided, and he said: "It means you go out to work and support our three fathers, and I will eat soft food at home."
"Zekai, don't think too much. It will only take a few years. It will be fine when Yatou and Tongtong go to junior high school. Then it will be the same for you to go out and find a job." Luo Xiyun quickly comforted him, even "eating softly"
The word "rice" was used, for fear that he would not be able to think about it for a while.
But unlike what she thought, Xia Zekai agreed directly the next moment: "Okay, you go to work, I just happen to be at home to spend more time with them."
In fact, boss Xia, who later became successful in his career, no longer looked down on his income of tens of thousands of dollars a year. His wife happened to be very career-minded, so Xia Zekai wanted to spend time with his two daughters for the time being. In order to support the family, he ran away
Running west, I have almost no impression of the growth of my two daughters.
He will never forget the time when his two daughters finished their college entrance examination. The older girl, who was always quiet, said to him: "Dad, can you stop making money for now? Stay with me and Tongtong. When the summer vacation is over, we will leave."
By then, I won’t see you again for several years.”
He burst into tears at that time.
"What?" Luo Xiyun looked at the complicated expression on her husband's face and didn't understand.
Xia Zekai didn't explain either: "I said you go to work, I will be supported by you from now on."
He agreed so readily, which made Luo Xiyun suspicious: "Husband, why did you agree so readily? You can't think about it."
Xia Zekai looked at her calmly, raised his hand to smooth her long hair, and patted her shoulder: "Xiyun, what are you thinking about? I can't think about it anymore and jump off the building."
"According to what you said, the difference in our income is only 70,000 to 80,000 yuan. The commission from my business is still unstable. In a small private factory, wages are sometimes not paid on time. I have long thought about changing my job. Now I am a full-time employee.
