When Lu Yiannian saw her husband's expression and tone, Yin Xiaolei covered her mouth and giggled.
They were happy again, lively again, and soon the couple calmed down.
Because both husband and wife are only children, they have learned over the years that being an only child is too stressful. So both of them actually want to have another child to keep Lele company.
"With our family's situation, wouldn't we have to suffer again after the second child is born? I don't even dare to think about it," said Yin Xiaolei.
"I can't say that. I regret that my parents didn't give me more brothers and sisters or more brothers and sisters when I was a child. Over the years, I can't even sleep when I think about the fact that I will have to support my family in the future.
Especially in the past few years, my hair has been falling out." Zhang Wenjun sighed.
"I'm really afraid that if I die suddenly one day, my father will have no one to take care of me, and I will become an old man who lost his only child."
"What are you talking about?" Yin Xiaolei glared at her husband.
But yes, my husband was a handsome young man when we first met him. Now, in his thirties, my husband’s hairline has receded.
She knows that an only child is naturally loved by thousands of people, but he also has to bear the burden of the entire family, so there is no absolute fairness. What's more, the government is still encouraging the birth of a second child.
I'm pregnant, so I can't abort it. It's not fair to the second child.
"It's all your fault. I didn't buy balloons. If my baby suffers after birth, I won't be able to spare you as the father." Yin Xiaolei complained.
"Balloons? Wouldn't that cost money? It's uncomfortable anyway."
"..."
In any case, the poor and humble couple are all miserable, and the couple who had just recovered are worried about their second child again.
But at this moment, Yin Xiaolei's cell phone rang, and someone sent her a WeChat message.
Picking it up thoughtfully, Yin Xiaolei was stunned.
"Xiaolei, look, is the old man in the video your father-in-law? Is that little girl your Lele?" Yin Xiaolei's best friend said on WeChat, and there was also a Douyin short video shared in it.
My father-in-law? Lele?
Yin Xiaolei was stunned for a moment, then clicked and took a look.
Soon, Yin Xiaolei and her husband Zhang Wenjun who came over were stunned, and their eyes were so big they looked like they were about to fall out.
In the video, I saw an old man singing sonorously an inspiring and majestic military song that I had never heard before. The way he danced, that momentum, that aura was completely different from the bad old man in the living room just now.
What he knew was that his father had just been rescued from the operating table. What he didn't know was that he thought he was some retired senior military cadre.
"Is it dad?"
"Yes, yes, don't you think that's Lele?"
The couple's mouths became O-shaped, and their big eyes were full of disbelief.
Time passed quickly and the next morning arrived.
What excites Zhang Jiangang is that after practicing for several hours last night, not only did he not feel as tired as he did two days ago, but he felt refreshed and energetic, as if his muscles and bones had become much stronger.
If it weren't for the fact that he was recovering from a serious physical illness, Zhang Jiangang would have really wanted to practice all night long.
Anyway, the first two days were not like this.
And just when Zhang Jiangang was thinking about this.
"Dad, it's time to eat. Ask Lele to get up, brush your teeth and wash your face, Dad."
At the same time, my daughter-in-law's voice came from the kitchen.
"Oh, okay, here we come. Lele is getting up~ Oh, let me go, little bastard, you wet your grandfather and my quilt. Xiaolei, come here and change Lele's pants~"
"ah?"
About ten minutes later.
"Really?" When Zhang Jiangang heard his son and daughter-in-law say that he was famous on the Internet, he was stunned and his eyes lit up.
But as excited as he was, it couldn't compare to what his son said next.
"Dad, I have a day off today. Let's go to the beach to play as a family. It's been a long time since the whole family went out to play."
"Okay!" Zhang Jiangang was extremely pleased when he heard this.
"Yeah! Let's go to the beach. Then I'll get my bucket and shovel. I'll also bring my water gun. I'll also..."
"Hurry up and eat!" The next moment, the three people said in unison, and then the three of them couldn't help laughing.
But at this moment, my son Zhang Wenjun’s cell phone rang.
"Hello? Ah? Okay, okay, I understand, I'll go right away." Zhang Wenjun's expression changed several times.
"Dad, you guys go play today. The company notified me at short notice that I'm going on a business trip, so I have to leave immediately." After saying that, Zhang Wenjun went to tidy up his clothes without even bothering to eat.
"I'm on a business trip again. Not to mention working overtime on Saturday, I'm also on a business trip on Sunday. Is your boss targeting you? Didn't he say that she is your college classmate?" Zhang Jiangang frowned.
"It's okay, Dad." Zhang Wenjun returned.
"How come it's okay! You've been working for him for seven or eight years, and you're still not allowed to live, and you're not given a salary increase, right?" The more he watched his son endure and compromise, the more uncomfortable Zhang Jiangang became.
How could Zhang Jiangang allow his son to be bullied?
Then, Comrade Lao Zhang slammed his chopsticks and said, "Wenjun! Don't wrong yourself. If you can't do it, don't do it to her! Mader treats my son like a livestock!"
When Comrade Lao Zhang got angry, Zhang Wenjun and his wife were shocked. After all, in their memories, Comrade Lao Zhang did not have this temper. At this moment, Comrade Lao Zhang really looked like the head of the family.
"Dad, please calm down." Yin Xiaolei was also shocked.
At the same time, Yin Xiaolei's face also darkened slightly, "No, why don't we do it with her?" Yin Xiaolei hesitated and then said.
"No, not at this time." Zhang Wenjun said after regaining consciousness and putting on his suit. He even glanced at his wife, extremely determined.
Yin Xiaolei was stunned for a moment and instantly understood what her husband meant.
I have been pregnant with my second child for almost two months. At this time, my husband can no longer bear the torment at work, and neither can the family.
If you change jobs at this time, if you can't find a new one, your family's income will be lost in half.
"Dad, I'm leaving first."
"Well, Lele, goodbye to dad. Wenjun, please remember my words, don't wrong yourself, it's not a big deal, don't make enough money to make yourself sick from exhaustion."
"Okay, I understand, Dad, I'm leaving."
"Bye daddy~"
After the door was closed, Zhang Wenjun raised his hand to look at the time, looked up at the sky and sighed, then walked downstairs without stopping.
In the room, "Xiaolei, did Wenjun encounter any problems at work?" Zhang Jiangang asked, looking at his daughter-in-law.
"It's okay, Dad, come on, eat quickly, and let's go to the beach to play after eating." Yin Xiaolei said in a low voice.
After looking at his daughter-in-law and then at the door, Zhang Jiangang sighed.
No need to guess, there must be something wrong with my son’s work!
After the meal, this slightly depressing atmosphere quickly disappeared.
With a water gun, a small bucket, a shovel, and a little duck, the child Zhang Lele was in the front, the sixty-year-old man Zhang Jiangang was in the middle, and his wife was behind with her bag on her back. The family happily went downstairs to take the bus to the beach.
Not only that, Comrade Lao Zhang was also holding his quilt ready to go out to dry it. On it was a map designed by his granddaughter in his dream last night.
"Lele, slow down, don't fall."
"Yeah yeah~ Let's go play on the beach."
"Oh, it doesn't matter if we don't have a car. We don't even have an elevator, but my old bones are exhausted."
"Then buy a house with an elevator and a car, grandpa."
"Okay, grandpa will buy it for you."
"Lele, don't talk nonsense. Where can grandpa buy you an elevator and a car? But Dad, your legs and feet are very sharp today and you feel well recovered."
"Because grandpa ate the Gai Zhong Gai. Grandpa, how about I buy you a house? I will buy the house of the eldest brother and the eldest son. My parents will have one room, one room for me, one room for my grandpa, one room for my grandma, and one room for my aunt. That's the East.
