same day.
In a mahjong parlor in a small county in T city, Ji's mother was playing mahjong. She drew a card and quickly threw it out, "Two cards."
"Hey." The host picked it up and knocked down three more, "That's it, three barrels."
Ji's mother pursed her lips, "The cards you played are of no use to me." After saying that, she reached out to grab the cards, and threw them out with a sullen face, "Eight tubes."
"I got the advantage." The aunt opposite also smiled and pushed down three cards, then returned the advantage and smashed it loudly.
Ji's mother was the banker and lost several hundred yuan in this round. Her face darkened, she violently pushed down the cards and said irritably, "Unlucky, today is really unlucky!"
"Why are you so angry? You can afford to play and lose." The fat lady opposite was counting the money. Today she came home with a full load and won several thousand yuan.
"Isn't this just bad luck? It's just to make people angry. It's not about money." She said very arrogantly, "What kind of money is this? My son has plenty of money now, as long as I have fun."
"You have raised a good son, and you won't have to worry about it for the rest of your life. By the way, I heard that your house is going to build a building? How many floors will it be built on?" the fat aunt asked along the way.
"Two floors, one floor is more than 100 square meters." Ji's mother looked much better when she talked about this.
"It will cost hundreds of thousands, right?"
"Yeah, I definitely can't get it without 300,000 yuan."
"Has the lid been opened?"
…
Everyone was asking questions one after another. Ji's mother calmly touched the mahjong slowly, "Three hundred thousand is definitely not enough, but it doesn't matter whether it's three hundred thousand or five hundred thousand. You can use as much as you want."
This look is very arrogant.
What can you do if you don't like it? The son born to this widow is very capable. He got a doctorate and is now a doctor in a big hospital. I heard that his position is not low and he is rich.
"Hundreds of thousands is nothing for your son. A big doctor earns millions a year, right?" The fat aunt's tone began to sour.
Ji's mother's vanity was greatly satisfied, and she waved her hand, "Anyway, my son has a lot of money. He has bought a house. If he doesn't use the money to build a house, what else can he do?"
The small county town is so small, but Ji's mother is quite famous, and the Shen family is located in the small town.
It was passed around, but it didn't reach the ears of the Shen family.
Shen Dachuan got angry when he got home and pointed at Shen's mother, "You call Ji Huai and the others right now. I want to ask, is the money really wasted? Didn't Xiaorou say that they didn't even have credit cards? Has it been paid back? Where did he get the money? He also gave his family hundreds of thousands to build a house."
"Didn't you say last time that you had no money and only built one floor? I think you are living a very lifeless life, and you have so much money that you have nowhere to spend it!"
"Calm down." Shen's mother was helpless, "I'll call Xiaorou first and ask what's going on. This is true for Ji Huai. When buying a car, Xiaorou took out her savings, and now she's struggling again. It's really To save face and suffer the consequences!”
When Shen Rou received a call from her parents, Shen Dachuan still couldn't hold back his temper and scolded him again, "We don't know about his salary? Are you subsidizing it? His mother is everywhere promoting that he has a lot of money. How much is too much? An annual salary of several hundred thousand is too much? How much can be left after eating, drinking, and having sex in a year? All the money you earn is put in!"
"I get angry just talking about it. How did you get the hundreds of thousands to build a house?"
Ji's mother is bragging, but he still doesn't know the truth? It seems glamorous, but I just bought a house and a car, and I owe a lot on my credit cards. It is impossible to build a house with hundreds of thousands.
"Dad, please calm down first." Shen Rou persuaded Shen Dachuan. Under the other party's questioning, she still told the truth, "He mortgaged the car and sold some things he bought before..."
"What?" Shen Dachuan exploded, the veins on his forehead popped out, and roared, "You asked Ji Huai to answer the phone! You also paid for the car, and you didn't get a penny for the glory? His family is quite prosperous. What do you do with all your expenses? How much money do you have left in a year? Are you running out of money?"
Shen Rou knew that he would get angry, so she said softly, "There is nothing we can do about Ji Huai. His mother is also making trouble, otherwise he will come to live with us. He also gave me his salary card and sold his more valuable things." I don’t want to force him anymore, so I’ll cover it as soon as it’s covered. Now I still have some money left on the card, so there’s no problem with the expenses.”
"Aren't you preparing for pregnancy? You have to spend money on everything after giving birth and you have to pay back the loan. Isn't this nonsense? We don't know how much it will cost to build a house." Mother Shen was very worried.
"In my opinion, that kid is just playing tricks. He suddenly has an extra two hundred thousand expenses. Just hand over his salary card and it's over? Once this matter is over, he will definitely take it out again." Shen Dachuan snorted coldly, "From you Until now, when you were married to him, you endured hardships when you had no money, but what about when you were capable? You endured hardships even more!"
"I said at the beginning that this man was unreliable. Look, he is twenty-eight and has no children yet. If you don't marry him unless you marry him, sooner or later you will regret it."
"What should I say about you? What should your mother and I say about you? Don't think that I won't know many things unless you tell me. How much have you spent on him over the years? How much have you paid? Is it worth it? This person is What’s the use of not being practical and steady?”
…
Shen Rou hung up the phone and stood on the balcony in a daze. She put her hand on her forehead and closed her eyes. She was also very stressed.
Originally, the Shen family supported their marriage. After all, Ji Huai's academic qualifications were indeed high and he was a hard-working and motivated person. Otherwise, he would not have given her a dowry of tens of thousands without a gift.
But after Ji Huai came out to work, they did not have children and had relationship problems. He did not show any guilt or intention to make up for her. He was confident and good at face. The Shen family became increasingly dissatisfied. She had earned so much over the years. The money did go into most of it.
Buying a car and a house, supporting his scientific research, spending the two of them together, and this time spending hundreds of thousands to build a house for his hometown...
It's tiring indeed.
She was obsessed with this person. It was nothing, she could just make more money, but after her parents said this, her heart was still very stuffed. Ji Huai had already gone out to work, but she was a hundred times more tired than before.
A feeling of powerlessness.
She went back last month because she couldn't stand the cold violence. She couldn't help crying while chatting with her mother. The next day, Shen Dachuan called her to tell her that she couldn't live with him and left. She was so thin that she couldn't stand it anymore. , afraid that she would have mental problems.
There was a voice at the door. Before she could recover, Ji Huai opened the door and came in. His cell phone rang, "Hey, uncle, have you eaten?"
"Yes, I didn't hear it just now. That's it, the matter about our house..."
Shen Rou was about to go out, but after hearing these words, she slowed down.
"We need to discuss what we said last time. I can't go back twice a year. So many houses have been built on such a large piece of land. It's actually useless. Three or two houses are enough. My mother has to build one. Two floors, then it’s okay to build two floors. Two rooms and a living room upstairs are big enough, but building more is a waste.”
"I also want to borrow money from the bank and borrow my car..."
He was exactly saying that he saw Shen Rou when he walked over. She didn't eavesdrop on purpose, and she opened her mouth to explain, but he continued to call like a normal person, "Yeah, I have to find someone to redo that design. I'll just build a room downstairs. The more money you can save, the better."
"Second uncle, let's do this for now."
He hung up the phone and put it aside, his expression unchanged, "You came back so early today?"
"Yeah." She nodded, hesitated and asked, "What did you just say to your second uncle?"
Hearing this, Ji Huai went to pour water with a natural expression, "Let's see if we can save the budget. In this way, plus decoration, I'm afraid it will cost more than 300,000 or 400,000. I think a total of three rooms will be fine. There is no need for a living room." It’s so big, we won’t go back to live there.”
"Aren't you afraid that others will look down on you? A doctor's house is so small. People have to return to their roots after falling leaves." Shen Rou replied to him with what he said before.
He always said that he would be looked down upon by others. A person's external image is very important and cannot be saved.
He would only build one house in his whole life, so naturally he wanted to be more grand. People in the village looked at him like this and were very snobbish. He and her mother had grown up being looked down upon, so naturally they wanted to feel proud.
"Who looks down on me now? People need to be looked up to when they are incompetent. Seven aunts and eight aunts all want to get close to me. We bought a house here. Who looks down on me?" Ji Huai drank water and thought it was a bit funny. "I said I took out a loan for my car, but my second uncle still didn't believe me. He said I was pretending to be poor now because I was afraid of being borrowed money."
Those at the bottom support others and suppress others, I'm afraid that's what it's like.
"Can it be built like this? Will mom agree?" Shen Rou was still a little worried.
"I don't need her consent. That house is of no use at all. Money can only make money if it is placed in our hands. What's more, we really don't have that spare money. I didn't sleep all night yesterday. I thought about it again and again. I can't let you endure such pressure with me anymore. It will take another three years. When you are pregnant, it will be even more inconvenient to sell the car. If you like to think too much, then you will definitely have more random thoughts, which will not be conducive to your raising a child." He He said seriously, paused and said, "I have already asked my classmates to come up with design drawings. I will not use up many of the useless designs before. If I make them more practical, I may save 120,000 to 30,000 yuan."
When Shen Rou heard it, the heaviness and sadness she felt just now disappeared immediately.
If they can really save hundreds of thousands, it will be tens of thousands more than the previous budget. This is nothing, because if the subsequent expenses are large, they will not be able to save money. They really have to save money for two or three years. Building useless houses really makes people angry.
"Okay, if you can save so much, you can take your salary card back and the remaining loan can be paid off soon." Shen Rou said to him.
In this case, she would be embarrassed to take care of his money.
"You keep it and save some money for yourself and your children. As the saying goes, a man's heart will be in whose hands a man's money is, so I also made a statement." Ji Huai finished drinking and spoke again. He poured a glass of water and handed it to her, "Drink more water. It's good for your health."
Shen Rou took his water glass and took a few sips. As she listened to the words, her heart was still slightly throbbing. The plain water seemed to have become a little sweeter, and she didn't say anything about handing over her salary card.
In the past, she was always afraid that he would have no money to spend, and her self-esteem was suppressed, so she took care of everything by herself. Now she can no longer do it, otherwise he will think that she can solve everything, let alone take it seriously.
It was him who took the initiative to express his position, so what could she do
The two had a meal in a harmonious atmosphere. When Ji Huai went to take a shower, Shen Rou went outside the living room and called Shen's mother, telling Shen Dachuan not to be too angry. Ji Huai was also in a dilemma and was already dealing with it.
This trick is quite effective. It is said that I haven't got my salary card back yet and I know how to save some money for the children. It shows that I still focus on my family and calmed down the Shen family's anger.
Because of this matter in the previous life, the two of them separated.
After Ji Huai came out of the shower, wiped his hair and walked out, the doorbell just rang.
"Here we come." Shen Rou walked over quickly.
“Your takeaway.”
"Thanks."
…
When Shen Rou came in with the takeout, she faced Ji Huai who was standing at the door. She felt a little weak and said weakly, "I'm a little hungry. I'll go to the guest room to eat."
She often stays up late working and often eats takeout at night.
"What did you order?"
When he asked, Shen Rou's eyes dodge.
Ji Huai's expression also changed, "Did you order the snail noodles?"
Shen Rou lowered her eyes, like a child who had done something wrong.
He couldn't stand the taste. In the past, she only dared to eat it secretly when he was going to work or sleeping. Today, her hand slipped and she placed an order before she remembered.
I really want to eat it.
"Why don't you give me some snail noodles? Do you want to go to bed early?" Ji Huai put one hand on his waist and was very speechless. He pursed his lips and looked at her again and gave the order, "Go back to the room!"
"But I've ordered everything, so I can't stop eating, right? I can't sleep if I'm hungry." She became quieter as she spoke.
She had been staying up late for several years, and he had forced her into bed these past few days. She was so hungry that it had become a habit. It would take time to get over it, right? too painful.
"You can't sleep? Tell me you can't sleep? Come in." Ji Huai refused.
"That's not what I meant. You can sleep as long as you want." Seeing that he misunderstood, she hurriedly explained, "That's not what I meant. It's just a matter of habit."
"Come in." Ji Huai stretched out his hand to pull her.
"I want to eat snail noodles." Shen Rou was still holding it in her hand. The fragrance inside was really fragrant. She wanted to eat it so much that she stuck out her tongue and became even more greedy.
"If you're not asleep, I'll let you eat." He stepped forward, put the takeout directly on the table, and carried her inside. No matter how hard Shen Rou struggled, she didn't let go. When she got to the room, she directly put her Throw it on the bed.
"Wait a minute."
"Shut up." He was actually a bit domineering.
Shen Rou was absent-minded at first, but she was really obsessed with him and could only think of her Luosifeng.
She really didn't fall asleep, he wanted to come again, and she huddled under the quilt.
"I'm hungry." She said more and more pitifully, "I can't scream anymore, I feel uncomfortable."
Ji Huai gritted his teeth, and after a while he forced himself to say, "Okay, don't sleep after eating."
"Okay." She smiled happily and kissed him.
Shen Rou casually put on a nightgown. It was super short and just passed her hips. Her whole body exuded sexiness. Ji Huai brought the takeout bag in from the outside with a look of disgust, put it on the bedside table, opened it, and asked for it again. He asked to go out, "How about you go to the living room to eat? The whole room will be smelly after a while."
"Are you still closing the door? You didn't look like this when you were sleeping with me." Shen Rou arranged her hair, with a hint of flush on her face, and leaned against the bed.
You turn your back on me and don’t recognize anyone.
She wanted to go out to eat, but this man's tone was so exaggerated. Just now he kept calling her "wife" or "baby" affectionately. Now he has no patience with her
"Okay, okay, I'll open the window and you can eat." Ji Huai put down the bag and walked over to open the window.
Just as Shen Rou was about to get up and go out, he came over again and opened the bag, "For the last time, you are delicious."
"Did I really eat it?" she tested him.
You won't let her eat here, taking retreat as an opportunity to advance
"Eat." Ji Huai looked into her eyes, unexpectedly serious, "If you order takeout from now on, I will throw it all away for you, or you can just watch and not eat a bite."
The smell of snail noodles filled the room, and Shen Rou was greedy. Looking at his expression again, she was too tired to go out when facing her "last meal".
"Chopsticks." Ji Huai took out the chopsticks and handed them to her.
Shen Rou took it slowly and enjoyed her food.
Ji Huai was leaning on the bedside, reading on his tablet, looking over from time to time and letting out a sigh.
Because she was so hungry, Shen Rou ate more and more delicious food. He couldn't hold it back, "This taste is really... I'm really impressed."
She took another sip of soup, licked the corners of her mouth, and waved to him, "Come here."
"What for?" He simply disliked it so much that he couldn't dislike it anymore.
"Come here." Her voice was soft and soft, a little bit coquettish.
Having just been gentle, he seemed to have a particularly good temper. He walked to her side and said, "Don't want to eat it? Throw it away quickly."
"Take a bite." She put a few sticks of powder in the spoon and fed it to his mouth.
His expression changed instantly.
"Aren't you hungry? It tastes delicious when you eat it." She fed again.
"Shen Rou." He called her name.
"Take a bite." She gently put one foot on his leg and pushed him.
"I found you..."
"You said I would give you a taste for the last time. Eat it." She interrupted, "There are none left, just these few. Open your mouth."
She just wanted him to try it, maybe they could eat it together if they fell in love with it, and it wouldn't be the last time. Unexpectedly, Ji Huai coldly took off her legs, stood up and walked aside, "It's already twelve o'clock. I'll give you ten minutes to eat and go to bed."
Shen Rou had no choice but to eat by herself. After cleaning up, she brushed her teeth carefully and used water floss to clean them.
Even if I smell it, it doesn't smell good either.
Unexpectedly, when she came down, Ji Huai sniffed her and said, "It stinks so much, take off your clothes."
Shen Rou looked at him and could only take off her clothes silently.
It’s time to sleep anyway.
Who knew, once he took off his clothes, the man would turn over again.
"Let me smell it and see if it still smells."
"Yes." Shen Rou said.
"I'll smell it." He didn't believe it and wanted to smell it himself.
"The hair seems a bit shaky."
"Huh? Do you have any on you?"
"I'll give you a kiss."
…
Shen Rou finally thought, is this person a dog? I couldn't help but said, "You don't mind the smell?"
"It stinks, I can tolerate you."
But please don't bear it anymore and eat her twice more.
Shen Rou was paralyzed.
While the relationship between the two is getting better and better, Zheng Lei is struggling with confusion.
She didn't understand that Ji Huai clearly responded to her hint, and he was getting closer and closer, so why did he suddenly become distant again
That shouldn't be the case. In the past, she had always fished for men like this, and at this point in time, she had taken the bait one by one.
Not only was she in trouble now, many people in the department also changed their views on her. It always felt like they were talking about her behind her back, with inexplicable scrutiny in their eyes.
This is so funny. Who is cleaner than who now? It makes their ideas seem very popular. Who doesn't want a better life? She has the right to choose!
Is it against the law
Today, Ji Huai actually asked her to follow another attending doctor, which broke the defense in her heart.
"I'm not going." She refused, "I have always followed you, why should I change?"
"I have other things on hand right now and don't have the energy to take care of so many people. You can learn more by following him. This is for your own good." Ji Huai looked at the information and explained lightly.
"Why is it me?" Zheng Lei burst into tears and asked, "I don't understand, why? Why are you like this?"
He alienated her all of a sudden and even embarrassed her, which he never did before.
Before that, she could still feel the ambiguous atmosphere. If it lasted longer, maybe they would have been together.
"Zheng Lei, what is your attitude now? Are you questioning me?" Ji Huai put down his pen, raised his head, and looked at her calmly, "Then what should I do? Why do you mean what? You are here to learn. , I came to work, not to show off my temper."
"You have been working for so long, do you really think you are in school? I am your teacher, but I am also your leader."
She felt aggrieved at first, but after being scolded, she did not dare to cry anymore.
When he came in, he didn't let her close the office door. The doctors and nurses passing by heard this curse, and everyone was very curious.
Zheng Lei didn't dare to act like a monster anymore, so she could only pray in a low voice, "Teacher, I really like following you, and I can learn more with you. I don't want to follow anyone else anymore."
The words he said were ambiguous, a bit coquettish and begging for mercy, and those who didn't know thought they had really had an inappropriate relationship.
People passing by the door listened with their ears pricked up.
"This is work, not whether you think about it or not. You will follow whichever doctor I arrange for you to follow. Your temper is brought to work. Haven't you grown up? I think you should really go back and reflect on it." Ji Huai said with a face, "Get out!"
When he was training people, he was very fierce and showed no mercy.
Zheng Lei was so shocked that she couldn't say a word.
She covered her mouth, turned around and walked out, not daring to run.
After transferring Zheng Lei to someone else, he felt a little more relieved. He didn't see her much anymore, so they didn't interact with her anymore.
The other party just saw him as a ladder to climb up, and they only liked his bright appearance.
But he underestimated her persistence and shamelessness, and people still reminisced about the past.
They met "by chance" before, and he invited her to drink two cups of milk tea. Today Zheng Lei sent him a message, saying that she found that the roasted milk in this restaurant was also delicious, and wanted to bring him a cup back.
Ji Huai was busy and didn't look at his phone, so someone took it upon himself to bring him a drink.
Zheng Lei was smart this time and invited everyone in their department, and then only sent him a message.
"I won't drink it. You can give it to them to drink." Ji Huai refused.
"Give it to us. Doctor Ji is preparing for pregnancy, so he can't drink these sugary drinks. He has to take good care of his body." A nurse started to joke.
Prejudice against Zheng Lei is one thing, but when someone invites them to drink milk tea, they can't help but drink it.
On the surface everyone is getting along happily.
"That's right." Another nurse agreed. Since she was married and was older, her words were unusual. "Come on, you can control whether you want to have a boy or a girl. There seems to be some science in this aspect."
"What science? Is it posture? Dr. Ji, if you want to have a boy or girl, please ask for advice."
"Hahaha."
…
Everyone burst into laughter, clutching their stomachs and still joking, "Dr. Ji, I have good news to inform everyone. Let's sum up the experience so that everyone can learn from it in the future."
"That's right, several doctors are not married yet, and having children is the only way to go."
Ji Huai was wearing a Bluetooth headset, and Shen Rou was talking to him on the phone. Hearing those words, his whole body was about to be on fire. He also said, "My wife and I are on the phone. Don't talk nonsense. She Thin-skinned.”
The big guy continued to laugh.
He was not affected at all, and when he left, he said, "Let's wait until we have experience."
"Isn't this what we are trying to do?"
"Yes, the harder you work, the more experience you will gain."
"LOL."
…
Zheng Lei originally wanted to invite Ji Huai to drink milk tea and had already sent him a message. However, it turned out that she wanted to invite unrelated personnel in the department to drink milk tea. He didn't drink it, and it became a large-scale scene for him and Shen Rou to show off their affection.
Her face could not be darker.
When Ji Huai returned to the duty room, he spoke again, "Is your ovulation period coming soon?"
"I don't know." She whispered back, and was very curious, "Can you really control the boy or girl? I heard that you can take medicine to adjust the body's acidity, so the probability is higher."
Ji Huai smiled, "It's possible, but it's not necessarily accurate. Just let nature take its course."
"Oh, but I want to have a daughter," she said.
"Well..." He pondered for a moment, slightly embarrassed, "I will try my best."
As soon as he finished speaking, her face turned as red as a ripe apple.
