At eight in the morning, Xu Zifan's phone vibrated. He turned off the alarm clock, opened his eyes and stretched, and walked to the balcony to breathe the fresh air for a while, feeling refreshed. The original owner's job is from 9 to 5. Occasionally, he will go to Party A's company to do technical support. Sometimes he can work at home or on business trips. Anyway, it is enough to have a computer and a network.
This is quite suitable for him. He is a veteran. In the field of code, he can do whatever he wants.
He changed his clothes and washed quickly, went to the kitchen and ate a bowl of noodles, then threw the bowl into the sink and went to work with his bag on his back. The original owner didn't have a car, so he took a taxi to the company. When he arrived, he met many colleagues. He imitated the original owner and greeted them politely without participating in their small talk.
While waiting for the elevator, he took out his mobile phone and called Wu Xuefei. Wu Xuefei was pinched by Xu Zifan the night before, and she was so frightened that she couldn't sleep at all when she checked sleepwalking on the Internet. Her heart was beating fast, and she was a little breathless. She took a few deep breaths before sliding off her phone to answer the call.
"Hello? Zifan?"
Xu Zifan lowered his head and said, "Xue Fei, I was too tired to work overtime yesterday. I got up early to hurry up. I didn't cook for you and Dad, so you got up and ordered takeout yourself. By the way, I don't have time to wash the dishes, so please get up and wash them. Otherwise, cockroaches will be born easily."
Wu Xuefei couldn't believe her ears, she sat up with a frown, "What? Washing the dishes?"
"Yes, you can't help your hands when you cook. It's easy to wash the dishes. I read on the Internet that you need to move more during pregnancy, otherwise it will be difficult to give birth. Just wash the dishes and clean the house, but don't give up."
"You, before you got married, didn't you say that you would always be good to me? To be good to me is to let me have children at home and do housework? What do you mean? It's still difficult to give birth. You only care about the children and don't care about me, right?"
Xu Zifan's microphone was turned to the loudest, and the dozen or so people waiting for the elevator in front of him, left and right heard him, and they all cast curious and sympathetic glances at him. Xu Zifan saw the elevator open and said, "I'm going to get in the elevator, hang up first, don't lose your temper, I just cook breakfast every day and work overtime and go back to do housework until midnight, I can't bear it, you don't have to do much at home. Live, isn't it good to be active? Well, I have already entered the elevator and hung up. "
"Hello? Xu Zifan! Hello?!" Wu Xuefei listened to the busy tone on the phone, got up and opened the door to go out. When she went to the kitchen, she saw that the bowls, chopsticks and pots had not been washed. She didn't like Xu Zifan at all, how could she be willing to wash the dishes for him? Immediately, he was very angry. She called Xu Zifan, but Xu Zifan's phone was not in the service area, and he had nowhere to go when he was angry.
When she returned to the living room and saw the broken glass all over the place, she became even more angry. Xu Zifan didn't sweep the glass when he woke up in the morning. What happened? What's the meaning? How did she feel like she was going to lose control
Xu Zifan's colleague waited for Xu Zifan to hang up and asked him, "Xu Zifan, did you call your girlfriend just now? Do you have any children?"
Xu Zifan showed a shy smile like the original owner, and said embarrassedly, "I'm already married."
"Are you married?" Several colleagues moved to his side and looked at him in amazement. "When did you get married? Why didn't you tell us to attend the wedding?"
"When I got married, something happened to my father-in-law, and everyone was not in the mood to hold the wedding banquet, so I didn't say it. Now my father-in-law is out, and my wife's pregnancy is not stable, so I just said that I will treat the child after the full moon." Xu Zifan He lowered his head slightly and said.
"Okay, you're fast enough, I had a blind date a while ago, and now I have a wife and children, cow!"
"You're running ahead of me. I got married last year, and I don't have children yet. Congratulations."
"Eh? What do you mean when your father-in-law came out? Did something happen to him, he... was arrested?"
Colleagues smiled and said congratulations to Xu Zifan. Suddenly, a female assistant thought of what was wrong in his words and asked in surprise. Xu Zifan's face changed, as if he was annoyed that he said the wrong thing, he lowered his head and backed away, and said in a low voice, "It's nothing."
Honest people can't speak, don't understand explanation, his reaction is too normal, but it makes everyone in the elevator be sure that his father-in-law has been arrested. Moreover, the father-in-law was arrested and could not even hold the wedding banquet. It seems that this case is not small.
The elevator happened to arrive, Xu Zifan bowed his head and walked out of the elevator with his bag in his arms, walked quickly to his workstation and sat down. When other people look at each other, it is not easy to ask more questions, but they are all curious, and they want to know gossip.
Xu Zifan turned on the computer and put his mobile phone aside. He blocked the numbers of Wu Xuefei and Wu Lidong. They didn't want to contact him. To destroy a person, you have to start from all aspects. This is only the first step, let others know about them and make them uncomfortable. It will only hurt them to the extreme if they accumulate step by step in the future. He is very patient, of course, provided that they do not disturb him.
The work arranged by the company was not difficult for Xu Zifan, and he quickly finished the work and handed it over. The manager was a little surprised that his work efficiency had improved so much, Xu Zifan smiled embarrassedly: "I want to work hard to let my wife and children live a good life. Maybe I have more responsibilities and more motivation to do things."
The manager looked at him and said with a smile, "You've been working overtime these days. I thought you were having trouble with your work, but it doesn't seem to be the case."
"I'm sorry manager, I thought wrong before. I just want to work overtime to earn more overtime pay. I won't be able to do it in the future. I can maintain my work efficiency."
The manager likes motivated people very much, so he encouraged him when he said this: "Young man, don't be impatient, I think you are honest and don't usually have any entertainment. With your salary, it is quite easy to save money. In the past few years, you There should also be some savings? The time to raise children is still behind, don’t be in a hurry, be steady and go further.”
Xu Zifan's expression froze, hesitantly and embarrassedly said: "Manager, before... something happened at home, and all the savings have been spent. I, I actually want to apply with you today... Can I advance my salary this month?"
The manager really showed a surprised expression this time. We have worked together for six years, and he still knows the family situation of his employees. As far as he knew, Xu Zifan's family was in good condition, and he was able to save money quite a bit, but... all of a sudden he spent it all? Such a big change in the family
He pushed on his glasses and said, "Of course it's okay to advance a month's salary. If you encounter any difficulties, you can tell me and see if I can help you."
Xu Zifan smiled and waved his hand: "I don't need a manager, my monthly salary is enough to support my wife and father-in-law. As long as this month passes, I hope the manager will give me more opportunities if possible. I have been When I read and recharge, I feel that the technology is better than before. If there is a chance, I will definitely work hard."
The manager nodded and said with a smile, "Okay, don't worry, I see your performance and keep working hard."
"Okay manager, then I'm going out."
Xu Zifan returned to his workstation, and within a few minutes, his colleague across from him said to him, "Zifan, you can help me with something, I can't be too busy."
Xu Zifan raised his head and glanced at him. This person often asked the original owner to help with his work, or other people in the department would occasionally ask the original owner to help, because the original owner did not understand rejection and was very good at talking. But he has no interest in "helping others" at all, and frowns embarrassingly at his colleagues, "I'm sorry, the manager just talked to me, I have to improve my skills, I don't have time."
The colleague was surprised and said, "Don't you get off work overtime after work? You can do it for me when you work overtime, and it will be used tomorrow."
Xu Zifan opened the memo on his phone and quickly wrote a lot on it. The colleague didn't wait for an answer, and said impatiently, "I sent you an email, did you see it?"
Xu Zifan shook his head, "No, I'm looking at my notebook, I can't work overtime in the future, there are too many things to do after get off work."
"What's the matter? You don't want to help me?" The first time his colleague was rejected by him, he was upset, got up and looked at his phone, frowning and said, "Go home to cook at 6:30, brush at 8:00. Cleaning the room, reading books at 9:30, cleaning up the bathroom for Xue Fei and father-in-law at 10:30? Doing laundry at 11, going to bed at 12, getting up at 6 to cook?"
The colleague forgot to be angry when he saw this, and said in shock, "Xu Zifan, wouldn't you say that this is all your job? Cooking, washing clothes, washing dishes, doing housework? Isn't this what women do?"
Several colleagues in the office looked over when they heard it, and an elder sister next to him said, "Why is this all done by women? Now that men and women are equal, the housework should be shared equally, okay?"
"No, is this called a flat share? This is basically Xu Zifan doing everything he can?"
"Let's not say anything else, what the hell is cleaning up the bathroom for my father-in-law? What does it mean?"
Xu Zifan turned off his phone and saw that they were all surrounding him. He had a slight social phobia and moved to the side, leaning his whole body on the workstation, and said uncomfortably, "That's it... Xue Fei and her father want to take a shower after taking a shower. After watching TV for a while, they will not be able to do housework, so, so I have to clean up both bathrooms, otherwise it will be too damp. Xue Fei said that humidity affects health and is prone to bugs.”
"My God, the bathroom is just mopping the floor. Your father-in-law really asked you to do this for him? Can this fool do it?"
"Xu Zifan, you are too honest. Haven't you heard of Renshan being bullied by others? Filial father-in-law is not so filial. If you start this way now, you will be asked to do everything in the family in the future. You will feel good."
"Listen to my eldest sister's advice, I'm from the past, and you really can't do it. If you get used to it, you won't be their nanny? You have to serve them for the rest of your life."
Xu Zifan looked at them, "Then... what should I do? I told Xue Fei to do some housework today, and she seemed angry."
In the morning, the call he made while waiting for the elevator was heard by several people, and now it has been quietly spread. The eldest sister hated the iron and said: "You compromise when she is angry? Get used to her! I tell you, men and women are equal, it is right for men to share housework, but you can't get used to her because of women! Just be tough, half the housework, if she doesn't do it, you will question her, do you still think about it?"
