On the morning of the third day of the first lunar month, Xue Ling finally made an appointment with Xiao Jiaxue.
Xiao Jiaxue likes drinking coffee, so the two still make appointments to meet in the cafe.
Jiaxue, who loves fashion and beauty, cut her hair short and permed it into short curls. She wore a long skirt, a jacket, and a big scarf, looking fashionable and sophisticated.
"Hey! Why haven't you changed at all? Is your baby born or a fake one?"
She looked at Xue Ling and found that she was still exactly the same as before, with a curvy figure, no bloat at all, and no trace of having given birth to a child.
Xue Ling chuckled and said: "It's a little cold outside, otherwise I would have carried him out. My parents are taking care of him at home. Here - this is his photo, given to you."
"Wow! Oh my gosh! So cute! Fat and white!" Xiao Jiaxue was very cheerful and praised with a smile: "This is a doll, right? So cute!"
Xue Ling chuckled and said, "Don't be envious! You should quickly find a handsome man to marry and have one by yourself."
Xiao Jiaxue shook her head and spat: "Get out! I don't want it! I heard people say that giving birth is very painful."
She rolled her eyes and lowered her voice: "Hey! When you gave birth to your son, was it really painful? Did it hurt for three days and three nights? Was it in constant labor pain? Was it hysterical crying, and the whole body was weak and bloated? It hurt until the end.
You don’t have the energy to be angry and you keep scolding your husband?”
Xue Ling laughed "Pfft!" and asked: "Have you watched too many TV series? Or have you read too many novels? It's not that exaggerated!"
"Don't lie to me!" Xiao Jiaxue whispered, with timidity in her eyes: "When my sister gave birth to her niece, I went to see her. She was so painful that her face was deformed. She cried and scolded my brother-in-law, and then she ended up in pain.
I almost fainted..."
Xue Ling suppressed a smile and shook his head: "Not everyone is the same! I used to pay great attention to exercise. When I was pregnant with my child, I jogged and walked every day, morning and evening. I am not fat, but I have a big belly. I have labor pains.
It was really hard at the time, but it got better soon after the baby was born."
Xiao Jiaxue nodded suspiciously and asked, "Really? Just exercise?"
"Probably so." Xue Ling explained: "We must also cooperate with the doctor's guidance, go for prenatal check-ups frequently, and don't hide illnesses and avoid medical treatment. In addition, eat more, sleep more, exercise more, and maintain a good mentality."
Xiao Jiaxue took a deep breath, looking like she couldn't accept it.
"As long as I imagine myself being bloated, vomiting, nauseous, and with disheveled hair... I can't accept it."
Xue Ling chuckled and said: "Every mother has a hard time. You have to endure it and adjust slowly. I mainly have my mother-in-law to help me take care of the children and prepare meals during the day. My wife does most of the work.
Otherwise I wouldn’t be able to relax. Just feeding and taking care of the children is enough for me.”
Xiao Jiaxue muttered: "It turns out someone is hurting me. No wonder you look exactly like you did when you were a girl!"
"Yes!"
"Yo yo!" Xiao Jiaxue hummed: "Are you here to show off? Isn't it?"
"No." Xue Ling blinked: "I'm here to teach you sisters what your criteria for choosing a husband should be."
When Xiao Jiaxue heard this, she suddenly became discouraged and stirred the coffee in front of her.
"It doesn't matter if you don't mention it, once you mention it, my mind will be full of worries."
Xue Ling raised her eyebrows curiously: "What's wrong? There are so many people, I don't know who to pick?"
In terms of both appearance and talent, Xiao Jiaxue is a very good candidate. Except for being slightly chubby and not very pretty, her other conditions are very good.
First of all, she is a native of the imperial capital and has a local household registration. Secondly, she has a university diploma and a stable job with a good income.
It stands to reason that she has no shortage of partners, and she should be worried about which one to choose.
After all, we are old classmates and have known each other for a long time. Unlike colleagues, we also have some work-related taboos, fearing that others will notice and affect our promotion and reputation.
Old classmates can talk freely without having to avoid anything.
Xiao Jiaxue didn't hide it, she directly talked about her troubles.
"It has been almost two years since I graduated. In the past two years, a lot of people have introduced me to partners. Whether they are relatives, friends, colleagues or elders, they all want to help me arrange my marriage. I am now twenty-three this year, and indeed
It’s time to find someone. I just… don’t know what kind of person to look for.”
"What types are there?"
Xiao Jiaxue smiled and whispered: "There are two main groups. Some elders and relatives say that it is better for people to be stable. Since I have a stable job, if the other party can also be stable, they can live a stable life.
It would be better for the other party to be in a state-owned enterprise or public institution."
"What about the other faction? They all say that I am in good condition now and should find someone who is rich and capable. He is rich, talented and has a house, so he is worthy of me. It would be nice to live a more luxurious life, be generous and have money.
Yes. However, business has high ups and downs. If the business fails one day, you will have to suffer with him."
She let out a long sigh and smiled bitterly: "I'm in a dilemma! I want to be rich, but not stable. I want to be stable, but I can only live smoothly. I might spend a lot of money on one day, so I have to break my fingers every day.
Just let it go. Can I not be embarrassed?"
Xue Ling nodded slowly and muttered: "Well...it's really hard to choose."
Xiao Jiaxue looked at her angrily and asked: "I've been talking about it for a long time, but you can give me an opinion! If it were you, what would you choose?"
"Didn't I already choose?" Xue Ling replied: "I even gave birth to a son, so why can't I choose? Haha!"
Xiao Jiaxue couldn't help but speak sourly when she thought of Cheng Tianyuan's appearance and origin.
"Your lover's looks and appearance are one of a million, so there's nothing wrong with that. But his family isn't that good. He's just a poor young man from the countryside. In this regard, I have to admire your courage. Let's finalize the marriage.
, I just married across thousands of mountains and rivers, and then I married into a barren mountain to open up wilderness."
Considering Xue Ling's appearance and education, as well as the status of the Xue family in the imperial capital, no one would have imagined that she would marry in a rural area.
In this era, it is such a glorious and proud thing to have an urban household registration!
Many rural girls work hard and try their best just to win the heart of a young man in the city and take the opportunity to marry him in the city so that he can become a city dweller and his children can naturally have a city household registration.
Xue Ling is at the extreme. She is an only daughter from an imperial family, but she marries a young man from the countryside!
When she first talked about her marriage, Xiao Jiaxue couldn't believe it at all and even thought she was joking.
It wasn't until Xue Ling asked her to introduce a part-time job and said it would be sent to Rongcheng that she had to believe it.
"I said, what courage did you have to get married in the first place? Now that I think about it, I still feel that it is a bit fantasy!"
Xue Ling chuckled and whispered: "I don't have any courage, so I just covet him. Thinking that he is a good man, a good man who will be good to me all his life, who will love me and love me, I will do everything.
Without thinking, I just relied on him."
Xiao Jiaxue looked at her suspiciously, with a look of disbelief.
