Back home on the third day after marriage.
Both Sister Xue and Second Sister Xue came back, Father Xue and Mother Xue prepared a table of meals, and the family had a good get-together.
During the chat, Xue's mother quietly asked Xue Mei, "How are you getting along these few days? Are you okay?"
"Fortunately, his parents are relatively easy to get along with." Xue Mei said with a smile, "and we have moved out, close to where we work."
When dealing with people who really care about themselves, they often report good news but not bad news.
She knew that He Qiuhui might not be a difficult and strong person to get along with, and Ji Yang didn't know if he could be trusted, but saying these things would only worry Xue's mother and would not help her at all.
"That's good, take good care of your body and give birth to your child safely, so that your future life will be more comfortable." Mother Xue breathed a sigh of relief, her brows brimming with joy.
When a girl marries and has a child, her in-laws will not look down on her if she has a child as her backing. She also has a bloodline and has fulfilled a "mission". This is what she expects from her child.
"I will pay attention." Xue Mei responded.
"Your elder sister... well, I don't know when it will be." Xue's mother brought the topic to Xue Qiao again, with a sad face, "It is said that she is going to have an operation, and I don't know if that operation will be good for my body, and I don't know. Understand."
"How about adopting one..." Xue Mei fell silent before finishing her sentence.
Xue Qiao has been married for nearly ten years and has not been able to conceive a child. Over the years, she has taken medicine and seen a doctor, suffered a lot, and has a lot of mental stress. Adoption is easy to say, but in fact she also knows that it is difficult. Blood represents Many things cannot be avoided in big cities, let alone small backward counties.
"It's hard to find an adopted child now, and I don't have any requirements for her, just live a good life, but I'm afraid that she will be alone in the future, so you should help her." Mother Xue suppressed her emotions.
Xue Mei sighed silently.
After a good meal, the sisters of the Xue family were in the room. Xue Qiao looked enviously at her unprotruded belly, and the second sister Xue also brought her youngest daughter.
A three-year-old child, wearing a pink princess dress and braids, is lively and cute.
"I'm getting ready for a divorce." Xue Qiao hugged her little niece, her words were flat, "I'm already going through the formalities."
The air was silent, and the atmosphere became tense.
"Don't tell your parents first, that is, a peaceful breakup. I said before that it will be an operation. This operation will hurt the body, and the probability is not high. Both of us have reasons for our bodies, so we will not be brave."
"No one is under a lot of pressure."
Xue Qiao and her husband had a campus romance. They had been in love for seven years and married for three years, but they were defeated by the most realistic problem of having children.
"What about the division of property?" Second Sister Xue asked.
"I got a flat, a car, 300,000 yuan." Sister Xue smiled wryly, "I also worked hard with him for these things. His mother is already introducing someone to him. I guess he won't be able to fight for long."
Xue Mei touched her little niece's hand, her eyes darkened. In fact, this matter is quite unfair. After the divorce, according to her elder sister's temperament, it is not known whether she will get married in the future.
In some aspects of this society, women are extremely tolerant, and in some aspects, men are also extremely tolerant. For example, the bonus period of men is much longer than that of women.
When Xue Mei came back from home, she was depressed and heavy all the way. Everyone seemed helpless, but also very powerless.
After wandering around for too long, Ji Yang inevitably found something was wrong with her, so she mentioned it to vent her depression.
"My eldest sister chose the way that is most beneficial to her. There is nothing wrong with it. Maybe she can start a new life. The two of them chose something different. Why bother to be brave?"
"A person does not necessarily have a bad life. The way most people live can only represent the public, not all of them."
"Everyone's happiness is different."
…
He didn't care much, and asked the boss to take a box and was picking out fruits. This kind is cut up, and there are common fruits. Pick whatever you like, and it costs eight yuan a catty, which is very popular among young people.
She likes to eat sour.
Kiwi fruit, red bayberry, green mango, and oranges are the same ones, and they are delicious when they are poured with a few spoonfuls of yogurt. Ji Yang doesn't like them very much, so he buys some for her every time.
"Eleven one yuan and two." The boss weighed it and closed the lid. Ji Yang paid the money and led her forward.
"What about your happiness point? What is it?" Xue Mei asked him sideways.
"Me? Getting married and having children to carry on the family line seems to be a very realistic problem." Ji Yang touched his nose embarrassedly, "This is what my parents hope for me, um... I don't need to bear too much pressure if I do this, Finally like any other 'normal' person."
"It means that you can get married and have children, as long as you are a woman." Xue Mei raised the question of death.
In fact, she knew from the bottom of her heart that for a blind date, the purpose of marriage is to talk about love extravagantly, and suitability comes first.
Except for his mother, Ji Yang is fine. When he is with him, his favorability will increase, which is always a little fantasy.
"Like it, I have been on blind date for five years." He turned his head and looked at her innocently, "There are not many people in the match."
"Not many?" She narrowed her eyes.
"Three, four, five..." Ji Yang was quite frank, "The first doctor, entering the operating room, my mother said it was unlucky and too busy, the second one was too big, three years older than me, my mother suspected that it would be difficult to give birth, The third… "
Xue Mei's face became more and more ugly, he closed his mouth, smiled and said, "But I am very grateful to my mother, otherwise how could I marry such a good wife like you?"
"Don't thank your mother. If your mother continues to toss about, you will be a bachelor for the rest of your life."
Xue Mei is not joking, she is probably not particularly tolerant and can accept divorce.
"No, you're so nice." Ji Yang followed her buttocks, "My mother is also doing it for my own good, and that's what I thought before, it's different now."
"Why is it different?" Xue Mei continued to walk forward, but her ears perked up.
"I used to think about getting married and having children to complete the task and give myself and my parents an explanation. Now I think about how to make you and your children live better and make you feel that you are not wronged by marrying me. I want to give you better To live, to support this family." He said seriously.
For a moment, Xue Mei's heart skipped a beat, and she shrank her hand on her side slightly, "As long as I don't live with your mother and she doesn't interfere too much in our lives, I don't feel wronged."
"Well, I can live closer in the future, I will work hard." Ji Yang nodded.
Xue Mei continued to walk forward, Ji Yang caught up to hold her, his big hand was holding her small hand, and his index fingers were intertwined.
In fact, she didn't report much hope. The effort he said was to do more part-time jobs, but the house is just like that, and she can't afford it in a short time. Now she doesn't want to think about this problem, which is probably another big contradiction. .
The two walked to the bus stop.
The car was a bit crowded, and he took her into his arms to make a little space so that others would not bump into her.
Xue Mei sometimes thinks, it's actually quite good, Ji Yang's temperament is like this, it has been like this for decades, it is unlikely to change.
What she can do is to accept him as he is, and the two of them can get along to a balance point, and get along in a way that both of them can accept.
Late at night.
The two returned home, had dinner, and lived in a small rental house. Although it was small and narrow, it had all internal organs. Xue Mei felt that it was more comfortable than anywhere else.
She leaned against the head of the bed, holding a pillow in her arms. The last time I went to the amusement park with Ji Yang, he played with balloons.
Ji Yang was manicuring her pedicures, with his head down, quite serious, patient and temperless, which was a big reason why Xue Mei fell in love with him in the first place.
She is a bit impatient, while he is gentle and down-to-earth. The two complement each other in temperament and get along comfortably.
"The other side." He looked up, Xue Mei stretched out her foot with a smile, and he took her other foot and put it on his lap.
"Your mother knows that her heart hurts to death." Xue Mei teased him.
"It's impossible for my mother to know. There are some things that I can't tell my mother." Ji Yang looked at her and repeated her words, "We must have our own privacy, I know."
"Well..." Xue Mei nodded, the phone vibrated, she took it to unlock it, her eyes fell on the chat box, her hands froze.
A very familiar avatar.
"I heard from Chen Qiang that you are married, right?"
"I don't believe it, so I'm here to ask you, is it true?"
"I want to know your answer."
"Sister, come back to me."
…
As the messages came one by one, Xue Mei quickly turned off the message notification, and looked at Ji Yang with a guilty conscience.
Ji Yang didn't look up, he worked hard to manicure her nails without any dislike.
At that moment, her mood was like a stone thrown into the lake, causing waves, and then, slowly, slowly, it returned to peace.
"Um."
A word was typed.
"We agreed, give each other time, we've been together for three years, Xue Mei, you bow your head first, it's ridiculous that I'm still fighting."
On the other end, every word sent feels so heavy.
yes.
three years.
The long, long love, the beauty in college, the longing for love and marriage, all ignorant and stumbled together.
Xue Mei took a deep breath, her mood fluctuated a little.
"Okay." Ji Yang put away the nail clippers, and suddenly rushed towards her, with his hands on her side, Xue Mei was so frightened that he turned the phone over, "You scared me to death."
"So timid?" Ji Yang kissed her, and said in a soft voice, "I won't sleep on the upper floor tonight, I will hold you and the child to sleep, okay?"
Xue Mei resisted his intimacy at first, but then slowly accepted it, and now, when he kisses, sometimes her heart beats faster, and sometimes she kisses him back when she is in a good mood.
"Are you okay?" He rubbed her shoulders, turned over, Xue Mei let out a cry of surprise, and landed firmly on him again.
"It's so hot." Xue Mei pushed him.
"I'll fan you."
The wind was not blowing, she slept outside, pillowed on his arm, he covered her with a quilt, and hugged her waist.
The phone on the side was still on, Xue Mei quietly turned off the data, she closed her eyes, her mind was in a mess, she thought she would suffer from insomnia, but finally woke up until dawn.
