Pearl Gate was focused on the sly-looking man next door, while on the other side, Ding Wei sent Chen Siyu to the train station. Seeing Chen Siyu dragging the big box into the ticket office, she sat in the car and waited.
I had already told you that you might not have a ticket, but Chen Siyu was focused on his career, so he had to bring the box over to give it a try anyway...
What if?
Don't tell me, I really asked her to wait for this eventuality.
While we were queuing, a man hurriedly walked back and forth in front of the queue and whispered, "Does anyone want a sleeper ticket to Shanghai tonight?"
Several people present were moved, and Chen Siyu quickly reached out.
"Me me me!"
If Ding Wei were here, I'd probably have to worry about whether the bills were counterfeit.
But Chen Siyu had no such concept in her mind. She was lucky enough to meet someone who had to change her plans due to something unexpected.
The two parties concluded the transaction at the original price, and Chen Siyu was able to catch up with his favorite time period, while the other party saved the refund handling fee.
Everyone is happy.
It didn't take long for Ding Wei to receive news from her.
"I bought the ticket, Weiwei."
"The time is just right, I can get to Shanghai with a sleeper ticket and a good night's sleep."
There is no need to waste 300 text messages per month.
Chen Siyu couldn't wait, typing like flying on her phone to communicate with Li Mingyi, and sent her a perfunctory message.
"Anyway, the suitcases have been brought here. You can go back."
Ding Wei...(||?_?)
At this moment, she is worth less than a piece of used paper.
What else can I say? Just leave.
…
After going back and catching up on the manuscript for another day, Bai Shanshan came back weakly after seeing that "I Am the Best Sister-in-Law" will be finished tomorrow.
Ding Wei came out to get a glass of water and looked at her maliciously, "It seems like I tried my best today."
Li Mingyi was fine at first, but now that she has started designing clothes, she has become quite demanding about appearance.
She knew Bai Shanshan's recipe when she was with them, especially when Bai Shanshan secretly ate half a watermelon in the middle of the night, she immediately realized that human self-control is sometimes close to nothing!
So without saying a word, she activated her secret skill - her sister-in-law's authority, and ordered her to complete her weight loss task at the company every day.
Bai Fushan's struggle to achieve this level is quite inspiring.
Now that Bai Shanshan heard Ding Wei's words, she didn't want to answer at all.
Huh, the more vacation they take, the more fragile their friendship becomes.
…
But fragile friendships are only temporary.
"Weiwei, don't you plan to go home during the entire holiday?"
Ding Wei shook his head
"No money."
"I haven't received a penny for living expenses throughout the semester. I definitely have to work part-time to earn living expenses, and I also have to work part-time to earn tuition for the start of school... How can I find time to go home? Isn't the bus ticket free?"
They are good sisters. Bai Shanshan also knows what is going on in Ding Wei's family.
At this moment, he came over with a gossipy face and said, "Is your mother pregnant?"
Ding Wei really doesn't know this.
After all, she is an angry and hard-working young person who does not go home. It is normal for her not to contact her family.
But when I talked to Zhou Haitao and Xuanxuan, I didn't hear about it.
But it is not necessarily true. For adults, children who have not started a family or have a career are not qualified to receive more information.
But...what does it have to do with her?
She smiled nonchalantly - she really didn't care.
People can't always hang themselves from a tree.
She had done enough in her previous life, but if she still falls into this trap in this life, it would be useless to be reborn a hundred times!
She is just a poor daughter who works hard to earn tuition. Even if there is a younger brother in the family suddenly, how can she have time to take care of him when she can hardly fill her stomach?
Well...when the time is right, I will take Xiu'er home.
I had a love brain attack and fell in love with a poor boy who was penniless and had nothing. He hoped that his family would sponsor some money so that the young couple could settle down in the imperial capital...
Does this kind of background work?
…
It is impossible not to return.
After all, it's one thing to feel wronged when your relatives are here, but it's another thing to abandon your parents and ignore them.
National conditions, public opinion, social relations... it is not always easy to solve it. It still takes time and effort.
As for whether you're pregnant or not...does it matter?
After all, this is not the last life. In the last life, her mother was almost fifty when she gave birth to the child, but now she is only in her thirties.
There are quite a few people in their thirties who have given birth to children these days. For a strong person, there is no reason why she should have her children tied up by her side to help her raise the little ones.
Thinking of this, she drank up the water in front of her and felt beautiful in her heart.
When reborn, the most important thing is to adjust your mentality.
Since the child is always coming, come early so that she can still take the initiative, which is perfect.
Ding Wei's idea is correct, and can even be said to have a very broad perspective.
But she didn't expect that Bai Xiujuan, who was in her thirties, didn't think at the level of a fifty-year-old.
Of course, it remains to be seen whether Bai Xiujuan's thinking is high-level.
…
Jiangzhou.
Ding Haiyang took a sip of the pork rib soup, frowned, and put the spoon down again.
"What's going on with you these past two days? This dish isn't as good as before... the soup is salty again today."
Bai Xiujuan then remembered, "Ah, maybe I was in a trance at that time. I probably put salt in twice..."
"Then can't you taste it before you put it in?"
Ding Haiyang pushed the bowl and said, "How do you eat this!"
After saying that, he leaned directly on the sofa.
He has always been a chauvinistic man who refuses to help him when the oil bottle is poured. At this moment, Bai Xiujuan didn't complain, but absentmindedly put away her chopsticks.
As usual, she should have said one more thing, then I will cook two more dishes for you!
But today the plates and bowls were going back and forth on the table, being stacked up and put down again, without saying a word.
Ding Haiyang's stomach wasn't full yet, so he said angrily, "What are you thinking about again?"
Bai Xiujuan was shocked and looked around carefully.
Although he was clearly in his own home, he created an atmosphere of being a thief and said, "Ocean, I haven't been here this month."
Ding Haiyang didn't like hearing about this woman the most. He frowned and said, "Then go to the doctor. Why are you telling me this?"
…
Bai Xiujuan was accustomed to what he said. Now she said a little uncertainly, "You said that I have been taking medicine to regulate my body for half a year, and I have stopped for two months. According to the doctor, I am in good health now."
, my period suddenly stopped coming...are you pregnant?"
Pregnant?!
Thinking of this possibility, Ding Haiyang sat up straight.
"Are you sure?"
Bai Xiujuan hesitated, "I feel this way myself. After all, I haven't been banned before... I have to take a blood test tomorrow to check."
"Then you go now."
Ding Haiyang can't wait - God knows how many years he has been waiting for Lao Ding's son!
Bai Xiujuan glared at him, "I've already eaten. What if it's not accurate? I'll go there on an empty stomach tomorrow morning."
"Yeah."
Ding Haiyang knew little about this examination. He didn't have such conditions when he gave birth to Ding Wei. It seemed like he went to the hospital out of nowhere and nothing else happened.
But this is different, this is my son!
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel excited all over.
As for what happens if it’s not a son...if it’s not a son, then just keep having the baby!
He looked at the remaining soup in the basin and quickly advised Bai Xiujuan to
"Quick, you just didn't take two bites, eat the rest quickly, don't let my son starve."
Bai Xiujuan was stunned. "Isn't this soup a bit salty? I'll fry some more vegetables."
"That won't work," Ding Haiyang said plausibly. "What's the point of worrying if it's salty? It's not bad. It's all meat and nutritious. What's the use of vegetables? Eat, eat more. Drink more soup, the soup is nutritious."
With such excitement, Ding Haiyang rarely had a sense of responsibility and stared at Bai Xiujuan as he ate two bowls of rice and drank another bowl of soup.
Now I saw her finishing cleaning the kitchen and coming out to get a water glass, so I quickly stopped her and said
"Don't drink water, don't drink water! Just drink water after eating. Do you know how to nourish your body?"
How can he give birth to a big fat boy if he is not in good health?
Nowadays, pregnancy is very particular, so that you can give birth to smart children.
…
Bai Xiujuan couldn't keep the smile on her face.
She licked her lips and looked at Ding Haiyang's persistent eyes, so she could only put down the water glass again.
But the soup at noon was indeed salty - salt was added twice!
Her mouth was dry and bitter at the moment, and she couldn't drink water, so she had to say something to divert her thoughts.
So he touched his belly and said, "This child came at the wrong time..."
Ding Haiyang glared, "What do you mean?"
Don’t you know he is looking forward to a son?
Now let’s talk about this again.
Bai Xiujuan shook her head repeatedly, "I'm not talking about that... Look, we are both working now. I can't make too much publicity about my pregnancy and childbirth. There will definitely be no maternity leave in the unit."
After all, there is no second-child policy yet.
"In this case, who will take care of the child? If he is two years later, Weiwei will graduate from college, so she can take care of the child at home."
Ding Haiyang glanced at her - he was quite self-aware.
"You have a pretty good idea. Just look at that girl's movie. You've seen her attitude during the New Year. How can she be willing to take care of your children at home?"
Bai Xiujuan laughed, "I've already calculated it. The company will only recruit workers in the second autumn of the second year after she graduates. Before that, it doesn't matter if she doesn't work part-time. I just use this excuse to let her stay at home. She will definitely have to stay at home."
Give me a hand."
It's a pity, if you get pregnant now, it would be a bit...
When Ding Haiyang heard this, he couldn't help but think about it carefully.
——This is true.
If there are multiple people working at home, it will definitely be different.
And Bai Xiujuan is right. Nowadays, who will take care of the child after it is born?
The two of them live a relaxed life, there are no old people around.
But there were no old people, not even anyone to look after the children.
"And you are pregnant now..."
He couldn't help frowning, Bai Xiujuan added next to
"Not sure yet."
Dante Haiyang is already sure that this must be their big fat boy!
"Call her and ask her why she hasn't come back since she's on vacation?"
Then he looked caring and caring, "You have a child now. You need to take care of yourself. You can't do too much work. Let Weiwei come back to take care of you... Two months of vacation is enough to make sure you are stable in the first few months."
They say you have to be careful in the first three months!
"That's okay too."
Bai Xiujuan also has this idea. With Ding Wei at home to help her, housework will indeed be much easier.
but……
"She came back to take care of me and stayed until school started... When she leaves, do we still have to pay tuition?"
That's 7,000 yuan, which is enough to hire a nanny for half a year.
Not worth it.
But this is unjustifiable!
The last time I made a fuss with my relatives was shameless, but now I am at home. If I don’t give it, then the girl will go all out to make a fuss at work... Then how can they go to work?
The two were in trouble.
…
After a long while, Ding Haiyang finally snorted coldly.
"Let's just say that girl's movies can't go far... What university did you go to?"
If Ding Wei had not gone to college, no matter where she was working now, she would have called her back and said she would wait for her employer to arrange it - what a good reason!
As for how many years to wait...that depends on the employer, and they can't be sure.
But now that I am in college, there are established rules in my hometown. Children who go to college generally do not have any arrangements at home.
I will neither arrange a job nor arrange to find a partner...it must be done after I graduate from college.
So they want to find a reason to let their children take a leave of absence from school and come back to take care of the family.
But no matter what, there will be no maternity leave by then.
Even if you have to take medical leave, it is not a long-term solution!
Don’t families have to watch the children before they go to kindergarten?
After all, they are the roots of Lao Ding's family, so they can't be careless. If they bump into each other, they will feel very sorry for them.
Ding Haiyang thought about it, "How about we ask Ermei to take care of it."
Ding Limei's husband drives a taxi, and she works in a supermarket, which is a very hard job.
Compared to her eldest sister Ding Liping, Ding Limei is more talkative.
Bai Xiujuan was a little hesitant.
"Working in a supermarket requires more people than our workplace. Can she be willing?"
Ding Haiyang said nonchalantly, "At worst, I'll give her the salary to open a supermarket. She's on her own and needs to take better care of her children."
They don't feel at ease when an outsider takes care of their children at home alone.
If they bump into their treasure, or secretly abduct it and sell it, or mistreat it... I will really not be able to cry.
Bai Xiujuan fell silent.
Pay wages...
Ding Limei works hard in a supermarket, earning a monthly salary of 1,200 yuan.
When the time comes, please come to your home to take care of your children. It will definitely be easier than in the supermarket... My relatives can't ask for such high prices, right? Are you willing to pay 800 yuan?
——It probably won’t work.
As long as her daughter is not involved, Bai Xiujuan's mind is still very clear.
The reason why Ding Limei works so hard is because she wants to give her daughter more money - after all, she is going abroad and she doesn't know what will happen in the future, so she still needs to save more.
The couple is obsessed with making money, and they are happy as long as they can make money and work overtime.
It would be easy and nice to come back and take care of the children, but would she be willing to do so if her salary is less?
Of course, Ding Haiyang probably knew this, and he was thinking about it with his eyes narrowed at the moment.
…
"But one thousand and two..."
Bai Xiujuan looked at Ding Haiyang and didn't say the rest of her words.
Where did the thousand and two come from?
The couple's combined monthly income is only 5,600, and when they get pregnant and give birth to a child, the adults will have to pay for it, and the child will also have to pay for it, so there is a lot of money to spend.
I want another salary, and I'm thinking about staying away from him for a year and a half.
——This expense is a bit high.
Counting the time it takes for a child to go to kindergarten, it will cost at least 40,000 yuan.
Ding Wei’s tuition fees for college are only over 20,000 yuan!
It's not like Ding Haiyang didn't know, he was sitting on the sofa in a depressed mood.
"That's the only thing about Li Mei, she has an eye for money! She doesn't have any foresight when it comes to things. She helps us take care of our children. When our eldest daughter grows up, I will definitely be filial to her. He will enjoy endless blessings when he gets older."
But I only dare to say this. Whether you are filial or not, the old man expects his children... it all depends on luck.
As for the other sister Ding Liping, the couple dare not say anything anymore.
Bai Xiujuan was splashed in the face last time. If you ask her to say some harsh words again, she will have the courage to rely on the child in her belly.
But when he opened his mouth and asked his eldest aunt to take care of him, there was no need to think about it, he would definitely be scolded again.
…
As the two of them sat there, the joy of having a son slowly faded away, followed by layers of realistic problems.
Difficult, so difficult!
"Forget it," Ding Haiyang said to avoid thinking, "Let's talk about it tomorrow when the test results come out."
He said and went straight into the bedroom to lie down.
Seeing his figure disappear, Bai Xiujuan quickly picked up the water glass next to her and drank it in several sips.
The lunch meal was too salty!
…
Bai Xiujuan sat in the office all afternoon, either drinking water or going to the toilet.
"what happened?"
Sister Liu next door asked her
"Are you hungry?"
"No." Bai Xiujuan sighed, "The lunch is a bit salty."
oh.
Everyone here who is in charge of kitchen affairs knows this.
Of course, no one cared about her frequent distractions this afternoon.
Bai Xiujuan came back from the bathroom. She was holding a glass of water and listening to the guys chatting while knitting sweaters. She was thinking about her future without anyone to take care of her. She couldn't help but harbor two fantasies in her heart.
"Oh, this child has been raised so big that she has gone away to other places as soon as she wants to go to school. My family really misses her..."
Sister Liu's two crochet hooks were almost turning out flowers, and now she said carelessly:
"What else are you thinking about? Isn't it easy for your children to go to school at home?"
"My child is tired of being looked after at home every day, and the house is not tidied. It's like a doghouse. He goes out every day to socialize with friends, and only comes back in the middle of the night... I haven't found a serious partner, and I haven't found any kind of job..."
"I'm so worried."
Bai Xiujuan...
Another Sister Su said:
"I'm different from you. My daughter graduated early, so I miss her a little bit."
"But she has developed well in a big city, and she doesn't have a suitable job when she comes back. What's the use? The work pressure is also high... No, Xiujuan'er introduced me to the hospital at the beginning of the year and I took her to see it."
"The doctor prescribed medicine, but he hasn't come back yet, and he hasn't adjusted the prescription. I wonder if it's good or not?"
The age range of people sitting in the office is not very large, but they all have children. When this is mentioned, everyone has something to talk about.
"No, the children are out there every day. They only report good news but not bad news because they want money. They don't like to talk to us about anything..."
After this back and forth, everyone opened up the topic, and there was so much to say!
Bai Xiujuan took a sip of water in confusion - this, why is this off topic?
She felt bad, so she quickly tried to change the topic back to
"Hey, my Weiwei is only eighteen. She won't come back to college, and she won't come back during the summer vacation. What do you think is the use of raising a daughter?"
"Sometimes I really want her to come back and forget it. You don't need a college degree to join our company, so why do you have to work so hard?"
"Ouch!"
As soon as this was said, the elder sisters disagreed. "Xiujuan, you don't want this kind of thinking! If your child can get into the University of Ming Dynasty, it will be very promising! In ancient times, this was something that could be beaten and paraded through the streets."
"You are not satisfied yet, and you want the child to come back...you don't think about the child's future at all."
Bai Xiujuan...!!!
what happened?
I just want to raise a topic so that I can find a reason to bring my child back. Why doesn't anyone listen to me?
At this time, Aunt Li, who lived opposite her, frowned.
"That's not right, Xiujuan, wasn't Weiwei born in the same year as my nephew? He is already nineteen this year, which is already twenty...why do you still say eighteen?"
She sneered in her heart - Damn it!
Bai Xiujuan!!!
This...how could she remember this so clearly? She quickly said, "Oh, look, I...I forgot about it when I was one year older."
Aunt Li is a gossip, and there is nothing she doesn't know about inside and outside the unit.
Besides, she had seen Aunt Ding Bai Xiujuan come here several times, and she was always angry every time. The house here was not soundproof, how could she not know?
The look in his eyes was particularly weird at this moment, as if he was waiting to see a joke, "You can forget this... Besides, you say you miss your daughter every day here, why don't you give your daughter living expenses? I know that.
, during the Chinese New Year, we asked people to go back to school without giving them a penny."
"This child has gone to school, and you haven't given him any money yet! You still ask him to come back... It's good if he can take care of himself while eating and drinking outside. I've never seen such a cruel mother like you."
Bai Xiujuan's heart skipped a beat - how did Sister Li know?!
She quickly defended
"This can't be nonsense. Why didn't I give her any money? When she left during the Chinese New Year, I gave her one thousand."
"oh--"
Sister Li spoke in a long voice, which meant a lot.
…
In the office, everyone looked at each other, and the meaning of these words was so clear!
If you give one thousand, then it seems that you really won’t give a penny.
This...this can't be done!
They all work in the same factory. They watched Ding Wei grow up. This child is promising. He goes to such a good university. Why is he not given living expenses?
The enthusiastic Sister Liu asked cautiously, "Did you, mother and daughter, have a quarrel?"
Sister Su quickly advised, "Oh, Xiujuan, this is your fault. The child is still young! She is still in school! Why are you fussing with her so much?"
"How can a child not be irritating? If I really cared about it, I would have been so angry when I handed in my homework when I was a kid."
"Besides, if you continue to quarrel, you have to give your children living expenses! It's summer vacation, six or seven months, and you don't have a penny. You want your children to starve to death in school!"
The aunts usually spend their time chatting, playing mahjong or watching TV. Now when they talk, their voices are full of emotions, which is quite good...
For a moment, all the incomprehensible eyes were on her, and Bai Xiujuan was stunned.
!!!
I just want to bring up a topic, but why are the topics focused on me now?
"Give it, give it, I'll give the child living expenses..."
She said quickly, feeling a little out of breath.
However, no one else knows whether she has given her money or not, so that’s what she said.
However, Aunt Li next to her was full of smiles
"Oh, that must be my lackey."
"Your eldest aunt came to the house to make a fuss. I was thinking about why you didn't give living expenses, a second child, etc... I thought you didn't give living expenses to your child, and I thought, how can there be such a cruel mother in the world? Misunderstanding, misunderstanding.
.”
Aunt Li smiled like a Bodhisattva, but every word she said touched my heart.
"Xiujuan, be honest, it's not about living expenses...are you planning to have a second child?"
She had an "I understand" expression on her face, "We work together every day, just tell the truth, it's okay! We won't tell anyone..."
"Ah, some time ago you drank that Chinese medicine every day, was it to condition your body and prepare for it?"
"How's it going? Is there any news? It's been a while!"
Bai Xiujuan...Σ(°△°|||)︴
This...why do these two people stare at me every day?
You can’t even admit this, okay?!
The unit is now more relaxed, but if word spreads, wouldn't it be too obvious if the unit doesn't pursue this obvious matter?
Besides, it was still uncertain and family planning was still in effect. She went back to find two security guards and took her to the hospital... and her son was gone.
No, we can't take this risk!
She laughed dryly, "Sister Li, you heard me wrong. There is no such thing."
"This is all a misunderstanding."
She smiled as sincerely as possible.
But after working together for so many years, no one knows who is who!
Everyone knows whether there is a misunderstanding or not.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were looking at her belly, and everyone had their own thoughts in their minds.
