Three years after Ding Xi and Ji Huai got married, the company has been developing steadily, has grown to a large scale, and has achieved financial freedom to a certain extent.
Even Father Ding didn't expect Ji Huai to develop so much and so quickly.
Because of Ji Huai's invitation to dinner, Xu Miaomiao and Lu Jiaming became boyfriend and girlfriend, and the two got married just the year before last.
"I'm fat again." Xu Miaomiao would wail a few words every time she saw Ding Xi, with a look of despair on her face, but she could never control her mouth.
As soon as he finished speaking, he stuffed a piece of cream cake into his mouth to soothe his hurt soul.
Ding Xi sat across from her, looking at her increasingly rounded cheeks, and said against her will, "It's okay, you need to exercise more."
"After two years of marriage, Lu Jiaming gained 30 pounds and I gained 21 pounds. My whole person has completely changed. Why haven't you and Ji Huai changed at all?" Xu Miaomiao was puzzled and looked at her slightly bulging figure. She felt even more unfair as her belly grew, "You are still eight months pregnant. You have thin arms and legs. You can't even tell that you are pregnant if you wear loose clothes. If I keep getting fatter, people will say I am pregnant even if I am not pregnant." Nine months!”
“Every time I come home, my mother looks surprised and asks me how many months have it been!!!”
…
"But, I won't gain weight." Ding Xi touched his belly gently, his face full of sorrow.
Xu Miaomiao: "...Is it because Ji Huai has been too busy recently? Didn't he make food for you?"
"No, he cooks for me every day, and he always gets hungry in the middle of the night. He often gets up and cooks for me, but sometimes he doesn't want to eat it." Ding Xi shook his head, "I've already eaten a lot."
Xu Miaomiao looked at her: "..."
If she is guilty, it should be the law that punishes her. Why send Ding Xi to feed the dog food? Moreover, the other party can reach 365 degrees without blind spots, but he has no idea about it.
No, she said and smiled again, "But the prenatal check-up indicators are all fine. Ji Huai said I shouldn't think too much and just stay in a good mood."
Xu Miaomiao looked at her sweet and pure smile, stretched out her hand to drag her chin, and said without emotion, "We are really the same person, but we have different fates."
Ding Xi got married earlier than she did, and still lived a simple and pure life. Her marriage is not a bad one, but after all, it is a union of two families, and there are a lot of bad things going on.
"It's really amazing if you get pregnant earlier." Ding Xi thought she was pregnant and advised, "Lu Jiaming has changed a lot in the past two years and looks very stable."
"It's quite steady. After all, I've gained almost fifty pounds since we started dating. How can I not be steady?" Xu Miaomiao said lightly.
Ding Xi: “…”
He has gained a lot of weight. He used to be a handsome and energetic young man, but now he has changed. Her Ji Huai is not fat, is it because of hard work
The two chatted for a while, talking about the child.
Ding Xi’s hope for her children is simple: to be healthy and happy.
Xu Miaomiao concluded: "It's not that simple. According to Ji Huai's temperament, he wants his children to have a great future. No matter what, the goal of the college entrance examination must be Capital University, right? It must be better than him."
"How did you pass the exam?" Ding Xi exclaimed. A scumbag student has never had such a dream.
Xu Miaomiao: "If I remember correctly, didn't Jihuai Elementary School, Junior High School, etc. all get perfect marks? He also won the top spot in the college entrance examination, right?"
"Yes, he is very powerful." Speaking of Ji Huai, Ding Xi smiled again.
"Then you have to work harder." Xu Miaomiao looked at her belly and said with deep meaning.
When the child is born, she will consider her daughter and son. She hopes that the little guy will work hard in Ding Xi's belly, absorb good genes, and win at the starting line.
Before Ding Xi said anything, Ji Huai called her.
Ji Huai had already gone downstairs to the restaurant to pick her up for piano lessons. After that, the two of them would go to the prenatal education center for lessons.
Piano lessons are used to relieve boredom. Ding Xi took lessons for a few years when she was a child, then abandoned them. Now that she has picked them up again, she will go to the studio for an hour or two from time to time.
In Xu Miaomiao's view, most people at Ding Xi's stage are more or less busy with their families and lose themselves. Fortunately for her, it was only then that she lived out her life.
Ji Huai drove a black Cayenne and got out of the car to pick her up. Since he was on the way, he also sent Xu Miaomiao back.
There was soft music playing in the car, and Ji Huai bought Ding Xi a small cake. She was so greedy that she ate a few bites in the car.
Seeing her childish look, Xu Miaomiao couldn't help but smile.
Ji Huai would also chat with Ding Xi, and when they talked about topics that Ding Xi didn't understand or were surprised by, she opened her clear and bright eyes, blinked, and asked Ji Huai, "Is this really the case? ?”
"Silly bag." Xu Miaomiao always laughed at her.
"That's right." Ji Huai would answer firmly and then conduct popular science. Ding Xi's eyes lit up again, and he listened very carefully, occasionally asking questions.
When Xu Miaomiao got out of the car, Ding Xi finished the cake in his hand and waved to her.
"Little greedy cat, let's make an appointment next time." Xu Miaomiao gave her a new nickname and closed the car door neatly.
The black Cayenne drove forward slowly, and Ding Xi's gentle voice seemed to still be heard, mixed with the man's patient and gentle reply.
Xu Miaomiao turned around and sighed.
Is Ding Xi stupid? Not really. Some people live simple and pure lives. Didn't she feel that she had this energy in her body at the beginning, so she got closer to her
It doesn't matter what age you reach, you have to become what you are. It is also a blessing to be able to maintain this innocence and cheerfulness throughout my life.
She thought that Ji Huai probably thought the same way. Because I have not become like that, I try my best to protect the other person and want the other person to live the way he wants to live.
Ding Xi gave birth to her and Ji Huai's son naturally at the end of the year. He weighed 3.4 kilograms and was named Ji Xiao.
In other words, classmate Ji Xiao was born in Rome.
Dad Ji Huai started his own business and became a wealthy generation. His company went public and prospered. His mother is not a famous figure in the industry, but her abilities are not bad, and she still has a bit of artistic talent.
As a result, except for the looks of his parents, he seemed to have inherited nothing else.
Ji Huai had great expectations for him from the beginning. From prenatal education to early childhood education, he did everything himself, and Ding Xi put a lot of effort into him.
After he was born, his parents provided him with enough companionship. Ji Huai could memorize the children's stories and read them as soon as he opened his mouth.
When he entered the international kindergarten, in order to make his English pronunciation more standard, he also hired a private tutor. Ding Xidu picked up a lot of English along with him and tried not to hold him back.
But Ji Huai gradually discovered that his child... was "not very smart." And he’s also a foodie.
When Ji Huai was three years old, he watched cartoons with him. Before he finished an episode, he touched his belly and looked at Ji Huai pitifully. His voice was childish and coquettish: Dad, I'm hungry.
OK, Ji Huai will do it.
"I want to eat egg tarts, cakes, watermelon..." He stood up with his chubby body and pulled Ji Huai to the kitchen. He was barely drooling as he spoke.
After eating, I went to bed.
Ji Huai: "..."
When he gets older, in order to improve his concentration, and also to enhance the relationship between father and son. Ji Huai bought a lot of parent-child interactive toys, and also bought Lego blocks for him. He also picked airplanes, tanks, and ships that the boy was most interested in.
"Wow~~I want to play~~" Little Fatty walked over with short legs, his eyes lit up, and he squatted down to watch, looking very interested.
When Ji Huai saw it, he felt relieved and sat down to play with him.
Before playing for half an hour, the little nose smelled the smell of mom's baking bread. He stood up smoothly, pushed the blocks forward without hesitation, and ran to the kitchen while shouting, "Mom!"
"You haven't finished fighting yet. Eat after finishing." Ji Huai had a headache.
"Eat!" Ji Xiao seemed to ignore his father and ran faster and faster, faster and faster.
"It's still very hot. Go play with dad first. Mom will get it for you later." Ding Xi looked at Ji Huai holding his forehead on the other side and quickly squatted down to comfort his son.
"I won't!" Little Fatty refused to leave. He pursed his lips and hugged himself with his short hands. He stood in the kitchen and waited, staring at the bread with his round eyes and swallowing saliva.
Ding Xi couldn't bear to look at it and said to Ji Huai in embarrassment, "Children... are... all greedy."
She wanted to cry, but she didn't know if it was because she was too greedy during her pregnancy. The son she gave birth to was a foodie. Now that he is a little older, he is okay. When he was a child, he saw delicious food and his mouth kept watering.
"I'll go and take it easy." Ji Huai stretched out his hand to rub his temples and shuffled towards the room.
"Dad, eat some bread." Ji Xiao added fuel to the fire and shouted at Ji Huai's back.
"You go ahead and eat." Ji Huai spoke weakly, "Dad has no appetite."
When Ding Xi was cutting the bread, his round eyes rolled, he reached out to get another piece, and while eating, he ran towards the room.
"Dad, eat the bread!" He raised his hand to take a big bite of the bread, and reached out to give another piece to Ji Huai.
"Don't eat." Ji Huai was not in the mood.
"Eat!" He asked for another bite, his cheeks bulging.
Ji Huai didn't eat either. He held his face with one hand and looked at such a chubby little boy. Anyone who took him out would say he was cute and well-raised.
Is not this nonsensical
It’s so edible, so it’s weird if it doesn’t grow meat!
"Daddy, don't you want to eat it?" Little Fatty finished the bread in his hands in a few seconds. Seeing that his father didn't want to eat it, he started stuffing the bread for his father into his mouth, "It's delicious!"
He smiled and narrowed his eyes.
The old father endured the impatience in his heart, raised his hand to rub his hair, and softened his voice, "After eating, can you continue playing with the building blocks with dad? We haven't finished yet."
"Yeah!" He nodded vigorously.
Ji Huai felt a little relieved.
However, the little fat man who had eaten and drank enough had gained strength, causing trouble everywhere in the house, dismantling the building blocks he had built, and running around the house full of energy.
Ding Xi looked at his son and then at Ji Huai, his voice getting softer and softer, "Children... children are quite noisy."
"It's okay, I'm going to calm down. I'm too demanding." Ji Huai tried to calm down his mood, and gave her a stiff smile, "Every parent must accept that their children are ordinary people, I know .”
Ding Xi nodded and breathed a sigh of relief, vowing to educate his son well.
After entering elementary school, the grown-up Ji Xiao became less greedy, and his chubby look disappeared and he became a handsome little boy. His personality neither follows Ji Huai nor Ding Xi. He is very optimistic and cheerful. He loves to smile and is the pistachio of the class.
Ji Huai has also relaxed his requirements on him in recent years:
If we really don’t want to learn piano, we won’t learn it; if we don’t like hip-hop dance, we won’t force it; if we don’t like taekwondo, we won’t learn it…
In the end, I feel that he is only interested in basketball and swimming, so learn more about these two and respect the child's wishes.
but-
"How did you get 15 points in your math test?!" Ji Huai was so angry that he slapped the test paper on the table. He almost had a heart attack from anger. He stood up and stretched out his hand to pull down his tie. He put his hands on his waist. Still nothing. After thinking about it, he lowered his head and gritted his teeth and asked again, "Ji Xiao, tell me, how can you get fifteen points on the math test?!"
Ji Xiao sat on the desk, hunched his neck and lowered his head, feeling his father's rage.
"In the second grade of elementary school mathematics, you got a score of 15? Whose IQ did you follow?" Ji Huai paced in place, turning back and forth, still unable to understand.
He often got perfect marks in mathematics in high school. How could his son, who was in the second grade of elementary school, get a perfect score of 15? I really don’t understand.
"Follow my mom." Ji Xiao felt a little more confident, "My mom said she's not good at math."
Just as Ji Huai wanted to say something, he caught a glimpse of someone peeking at her. She revealed her small head, and her pure and beautiful eyes were filled with innocence and worry.
He waved his hand back and asked her to go ahead. Then he took a deep breath, took the English test paper, suppressed his temper, and said, "Twenty-eight points in English, who did you follow? You tell me."
Ji Xiao: "Follow your grandparents!"
Ji's father and Ji's mother can't read a word, so they definitely don't understand English.
Ji Huai almost didn't mention it in one breath, "Ji Xiao!"
Ding Xi hid secretly outside the door again, revealing her rosy and tender face. She looked at the father and son, not daring to come forward.
Ji Xiao didn't dare to quibble anymore, he lowered his head and admitted his mistake, "This time I am not the last one, there is one who is worse than me."
Ji Huai: "That's because he missed one subject in the exam!"
"That's right, it's still less than me." He held his little hand and said in frustration.
"You are so embarrassed. You play like crazy every day. Let me tell you, starting from tomorrow, do your homework conscientiously. I will come back every night to check. If you are lazy again, I will make your butt bloom!" Ji Huai gave an ultimatum, no cure. It's not possible anymore.
Regardless, whether his son can go to high school is still a question.
"Oh..." Child Ji Xiao lowered his head, feeling extremely disappointed. He felt that his nightmare was coming.
Ding Xi also felt that his son was about to live a miserable life. But who would have thought that this was Ji Huai's nightmare.
"Dad, I'll tell you in detail first. Listen carefully."
"Studying requires methods. We don't have to rush. We take our time."
…
"You can calculate this question again, it's wrong."
…
"Ji Xiao!!! Count it again for me, keep your eyes open and drink some snacks!"
…
"Snapped!"
"Stand up!"
"Whoa whoa whoa."
…
In Ding Xi's impression, Ji Huai has a good temper and a very stable mood. He is very patient with her and her children, and he works hard for his career but also takes care of his family.
As her son grew older, Ji Huai began to tutor the child in his homework. She simply watched helplessly as he taught the child earnestly at the beginning, then gradually became coaxing, and now he slaps the table and roars.
After two months of "careful teaching", my son passed the test again and fell asleep while explaining the test paper to the whole class. Ji Huai almost didn't pick him up and beat him up, but he held it back for a long time, and finally got so angry that he threw the vase in the living room to relieve his anger.
The moonlight is good today, and the moon emits a soft light.
After Ding Xi put his son to sleep, he found that Ji Huai was not in the bedroom and found him on the balcony.
He was wearing light gray pajamas, with his hands on the railing, looking at the night in the distance. There was a bottle of red wine next to him, with a small mouthful still in the glass.
Ding Xi stepped forward, hugged him from behind, pressed her face against his, and said softly, "Are you angry?"
Ji Huai put his hand on hers, looked up at the sky again, turned around and looked at her, he really had no choice, "My learning method is very useful. I used to be a tutor when I was in college, and I taught him Students who have passed the test can improve by dozens of points in one month, or even twenty points at least."
"Why can't he understand? Why can't he learn?"
The old father has a heart disease and is almost angry. What's more, he just can't figure it out. He really can't figure it out.
Ding Xi didn't know either, or even what to say.
Ji Huai thinks reading is very simple. Wouldn't you understand those things after listening to them once? He didn't have the opportunity to study for graduate school before. After marrying her, he went to study for a part-time graduate degree, and later studied for a doctorate.
Ji Huai felt his head swell, "Sooner or later I will be pissed to death by that brat."
"Don't think about it." Ding Xi felt sorry for him, raised her slender fingers, pressed on his temples, and rubbed him gently, "Maybe you just followed me, because I wasn't good at studying when I was a child."
"No." Ji Huai immediately hugged her, lowered his head, and buried his head in her neck, hating the iron. "He is just wild and playful! I have never seen such a naughty child."
Ding Xi couldn't refute this. Ji Xiao dismantled everything in the house and jumped up and down.
"Xiao Xi." He muttered.
Upon hearing his pitiful voice, Ding Xi's heart softened, "What's wrong?"
"Give me a daughter?" he said, raising his head to kiss her.
"What if I give birth to another son?" She hesitated.
It’s not that I can’t afford to raise him, he’s just wild and the little boy is naughty.
"No, we already have one." He said vaguely as he continued to kiss.
"Well..." Ding Xi was so dizzy from his kiss that she couldn't help but agree, "... um."
He pressed her against the wall, deepened the kiss, devoured her delicate lips, and suppressed his heavy breathing.
Ding Xi's feet couldn't help but feel weak, and she let out intermittent moans. He carried her into the room and put her on the bed.
The dim light in the room made her a little more hazy and beautiful. Even though she had been married for many years and had become a mother, when she looked at him, her eyes were still so soft and clear, with a hint of shyness.
He loved her pretty and innocent look so much that it made his bones tingle. The patience that had been worn out by his son was rekindled, and he showed tenderness to her.
Ding Xi hugged him tightly, and for a moment she seemed to be stepping on the clouds, and for a moment she suddenly fell down. When she looked at him with watery eyes, she made him angry again.
The next month, Ding Xi was detected to be pregnant, and as Ji Huai wished, she actually gave birth to a daughter.
Ding Xi is good-looking and well-behaved. She doesn't cry or make trouble. She goes to bed when she's full. She smiles when her parents come. She melts the old father's heart with laughter.
Ji Huai regained his ambition and his daughter must be taught well.
When he plays building blocks with his daughter, her daughter has a lot of fun. When he plays intellectual games with her, her daughter also has a lot of fun and is very obedient.
He was such a considerate little cotton-padded jacket, Ji Huai was so pleased.
But this joy will only last until my daughter goes to elementary school.
Ji Jiajia's child is not much better than her brother. She scored 17 points in the math test.
Ji Huai could spit out a mouthful of blood, which made him feel so heartbroken that he wanted to beat his chest. I patiently gave my daughter extra lessons, but she didn't doze off and finished the exam with 21 points.
Ding Xi: “…”
She was so afraid that Ji Huai's life would be short-lived that she was so scared that she hid secretly and cried.
One or two of them were all here to make her husband angry. She felt really distressed.
The daughter, a little cotton-padded jacket, has also inherited another side of Ji Huai's temper. She can't learn and is more domineering than her brother. She yells, "I won't learn! I don't know how. I'm going to play the violin."
After saying that, he ignored Ji Huai and went to play the violin, dance and paint.
The old father could only console himself that his daughter was okay and had some artistic talent. She often won awards for her violin, dance and painting, especially for her violin, and she often went to performances.
Under the double influence of his son and daughter, Ji Huai had to accept that his child was a scumbag and gave up hope.
He could only comfort himself, holding the same wish as Ding Xi: just be healthy and happy, well, as long as you are healthy and happy, there is nothing extravagant to ask for.
Ji Xiao struggled to get into junior high school. With his grades, he couldn't even get into a domestic high school. With no choice, Ji Huai sent him abroad.
As soon as he went abroad, this guy was like a bird flying out of the cage. His parents would still worry about him, but he was just like a bird flying out of the cage, very happy.
I don't know what happened. He didn't study hard at home. When he went abroad, Ji Huai completely gave up on him. Instead, he seemed to have a new idea. In the end, he applied to one of the top fifty universities in the world and studied finance.
After Ji Huai learned about it, the corners of his lips couldn't help but turn up, and he said: "He has always been a 'sneaker' since he was a child. I think this is the right thing to read!"
As expected of his child, how could the genes go wrong
He cast his loving eyes on Ji Jiajia, feeling that she would definitely have a future.
"There's no way I can get into Capital University, and I can't get into my brother's school either. I accept my fate." She had already raised her hands in surrender.
"Don't give up." Ji Huai encouraged her.
"Dad, I won't give up." Ji Jiajia clenched her fists and put them on her chest, making a gesture that she was determined to win. "Don't worry, I won't be admitted to Capital University. I will go there to find you a son-in-law. I will definitely Bring it back to you!”
"Look, you both have Ph.D.s. If you want to find one, you have to find a graduate student, not even an undergraduate!"
Ji Huai looked at Ding Xi and felt that something was wrong.
Later, he found out.
Ji Jiajia brought Lu Shiqi back to see him.
Lu Shiqi is the son of Xu Miaomiao and Lu Jiaming. He is five years older than Ji Jiajia. He is a top major at Capital University, studying for a bachelor's degree and a master's degree.
Ji Huai: "..."
I fell in love in college, and my old father was so angry that he was planning to get married right after Lu Shiqi graduated, and he was about to vomit blood.
Ding Xidao thought it was okay. She had watched Lu Shiqi grow up and he was a reliable person.
The Xu family ran a chain of restaurants, and the Lu family was a demolished household, and later made other investments one after another. Xu Miaomiao is busy taking care of business, and her son is just a free-range person. According to his personality, he will not interfere too much.
Lu Shiqi has protected Ji Jiajia since she was a child, and she will still live a comfortable life after getting married.
The old father still couldn't accept the news. Ding Xi watched him lying on the bed depressed and stepped forward to comfort him.
Ji Huai turned around and hugged her, feeling helpless, "It's useless to hurt them. Fortunately, I know them all, so you are the one who hurts the most, and you are the one who stays with me in the end."
Ding Xi smiled, with clear eyes, and leaned over to kiss him.
There were some fine lines at the corners of her eyes when she smiled. Ji Huai still thought she was the prettiest. He held her in his arms and turned around, "You can do whatever you want. I won't be angry. Being angry will shorten your life. I have to keep it." The more life I have, the longer I will accompany you."
"...Okay." Ding Xi hugged him back, smiling and the corners of her eyes gradually became moist.
In the blink of an eye, time flies so fast, half a lifetime has passed.
They cherish each other more, start to be afraid, and occasionally miss each other.
I want to stay with each other longer, walk longer, and spend more time together.
Even now, they still like each other very much and their feelings have never diminished.
