evening.
The family had a good meal, and then started selling pastries. Jiang Ling, who was standing at the counter, didn't ask who the lipstick and perfume in the bag were for until after the peak period.
After ten o'clock, she was so sleepy that she looked at Ji Yang, "Look at the store, I'm not feeling well today, so I'll go to sleep first."
I don't know if it was because she was too tired during this time, she was easily sleepy, and she kept yawning while standing in front of the counter.
"Sick?" Ji Yang walked over.
"No, I'm a little tired." Jiang Ling yawned again, pointing to one side, "Remember to put it in the refrigerator after closing the door, otherwise it will be broken tomorrow."
"Are you all right?" He stretched out the back of his hand to touch her forehead, Jiang Ling dodged slightly, and walked towards the stairs, followed by the sound of footsteps going upstairs, which gradually disappeared.
Ji Yang sighed, his eyes fell on the bag, and he took it out to have a look with a look of disgust. The perfume is really pungent, what taste is it? And this lipstick, is it orange
It's still such an orange color, so you still pretend to be young after a lot of age
Jiang Ling retracted her relaxed attitude towards him just now, she doesn't use any cosmetics at all, and she can tell at a glance that it was not given to her.
He really guessed it right, Jiang Ling went up to take a shower, although she didn't show any emotions today, her heart was already messed up.
In fact, she has always suspected that there might be someone outside Ji Yang.
Because the other party went out frequently before, she became more and more dissatisfied with her and disliked her more and more, her phone began to be locked, she spent money like water, and paid attention to her appearance.
She didn't confirm it, and the suspicion didn't disappear.
Ji Sibei was already asleep. She lay on the bed, tossing and turning, and finally was too sleepy, closed her eyes and fell asleep in a daze.
In her sleep, she felt that someone touched her forehead. She was a very light sleeper, and she would wake up if there was any movement, but her eyelids were very heavy, and she struggled to open them.
"Did it wake you up?" The other party's voice was very soft, "Beibei fell asleep again, I'll hold her in a little bit, so as not to fall down later."
Jiang Ling knew it was him, so she didn't have the energy to argue with him, her hands were too tired to lift her hands, she tried her best to open them but she just squinted her eyes, but she noticed that Ji Yang carried his daughter in and slept well, then covered her with the quilt, and got up to cover herself again. Put on the quilt.
"Go to sleep."
Ji Yang went over and turned off the lights, and closed the door again.
Jiang Ling slept until dawn, and when she woke up, she was stunned, and the sun outside the window had already shone in.
She sat up at once and said anxiously, "Beibei, get up and go to school, I'm late."
What happened to the alarm clock today? Why didn't it ring
Before the end sound was over, she turned her head, looked around, put on nothing, startled her, ran out without shoes, and then ran down.
At the top of the stairs, she called Ji Yang, speaking very anxiously, "Where's Beibei? Did you see Beibei? She's not on the bed."
The store has already opened for business. With such a big movement, all the customers looked over at once. Jiang Ling couldn't care so much, and was in a hurry.
"I'm sending you to school." Ji Yang was also taken aback by her, "You're still sleeping, so I didn't wake you up."
Jiang Ling calmed down at this moment, looking at the customer who was staring at her, her hair was disheveled, she was wearing pajamas with bare feet, her face was suddenly stained with embarrassment, she bent over, "I'm sorry."
After speaking, her face flushed and she turned around and ran upstairs immediately.
Looking at the time, it was past nine o'clock, why didn't Ji Yang wake her up? After washing in a trance, I went into the bedroom to get clothes.
Although she slept in the second bedroom, it was too small to move everything there. As soon as she entered, she saw the bag on the dressing table, and the contents were taken out.
The perfume and lipstick were placed on the table, and she lowered her face. He was really generous and undisguised about what he gave to other women.
Jiang Ling was afraid that the customers just now were still there, so she was ashamed to see them, so she deliberately waited for a while before going down. At this time, there were a lot fewer people, and Ji Yang was busy alone, obviously a bit overwhelmed and tired.
"Why didn't you wake me up?" She walked to the counter.
"You couldn't keep your eyes open yesterday. You woke up too early during this period of time. I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it. Don't wake up so early in the future. I'm going to hire two small workers to look after the shop, and then I'll make pastries." Ji Yang will Put the cash in the cabinet and say to her.
"I can look after the store, why do I need to hire someone?" Jiang Ling refused, how much money did she earn? Before the rent was paid, he was thinking of hiring someone. They hadn't hired anyone for so many years.
"Wake up too early, and there will be someone to take Beibei to school in the morning, and no one can watch." He walked out and began to tidy up and arrange the pastries.
"You've just started to be popular and you want to hire someone. What if the business doesn't go well after a while? What should I do?"
To hire workers is to pay workers wages.
"Aren't I working hard to research new products? Why don't you invite one first and help you share some of it."
He backed down a step, but Jiang Ling was still a little reluctant. She would rather use the saved money to enroll her daughter in classes, and work harder herself. They have always been like this.
"I asked someone to write a recruitment notice, and it should be delivered in a while." Ji Yang made a direct decision.
He earned most of the money during this period, and Jiang Ling could only reluctantly agree.
I recruited someone on the same day, a young man who seemed to be very hardworking, and came to work directly the next day.
The next day, the alarm clock still didn't ring. Jiang Ling slept soundly. This time she slept until ten o'clock. When she sat up, her daughter was gone.
This time she was not impulsive, packed up and went downstairs, Ji Yang was at the cash register, Xiao Gong was selling pastries, the atmosphere was exceptionally harmonious, nothing changed because of her late bedtime.
However, she has been tense for so many years, and getting up early every day has become a habit. The pressure of life, the expenses of her daughter, and the rent of the shop are all on the husband and wife. After Ji Yang let go, she became more courageous , often anxious until most of the night did not fall asleep.
The business is good, and the burden is lightened, and she feels refreshed physically and mentally.
When she was sleeping at night, she looked at Ji Sibei, "Beibei will call mom when she wakes up tomorrow, and mom will take Beibei to school."
"Father said let mom sleep, and it will be fine if dad takes me to school." Ji Sibei held her in her small arms, "Dad said mom is very hard and tired, so Beibei must be obedient."
Jiang Ling looked at her soft body, the softest part of her heart suddenly collapsed, she lowered her head and kissed her, "Mum is not hard."
Ji Sibei still didn't call her after that, Jiang Ling felt that she really needed to take care of her body, and ended up sleeping until after nine o'clock for half a month.
Of course she has to love herself, and only by taking good care of her body can she take better care of Ji Sibei, otherwise no one will love her, and the more she sleeps, the more sleepy she gets, and finally she can't wake up from her nap, and often it's dusk after a nap.
In the end, Ji Yang felt that something was wrong with her, and asked tentatively, "Are there any other discomforts in your body?"
Jiang Ling's expression changed suddenly.
Difficult to sleep easily, often unable to exert energy, is a sign of many serious illnesses, her whole body becomes cold, and panic arises. After being worried, who is not afraid of death
"Do you want me to accompany you to check?"
"No, I'm in good health!" Jiang Ling resisted, gave him a stern look, walked to the cashier and continued to stand. After standing for half an hour, thinking wildly in her mind, she felt drowsy again. She tried to hold on, but finally she lost her strength.
She didn't want to accept it, but she became more and more afraid, and her palms were sweating.
Taking advantage of Ji Yang's absence the next day, Jiang Ling quietly went to the hospital, asked around, and was advised to go to the obstetrics and gynecology department.
"When was the last menstrual period?" The female doctor was a little young, looking at her and asked softly.
"I... for the first two months, I came once every three months." Jiang Ling was already married, and knowing what the other party said, she was also a little skeptical and unbelievable.
She didn't think about pregnancy at all, she had three menstrual periods, and she didn't find out until three months later when she was pregnant with Ji Sibei.
"Let's do a routine checkup first." The doctor gave her a checklist, "Go to the first floor to pay the fee, and then go to the third floor for checkups."
"Okay, thank you."
"Need not."
…
When Jiang Ling got the checklist, she sat in the park below the hospital for a long time, watching the patients walking not far away.
Some elderly people are in wheelchairs, some are struggling to practice walking, and some pregnant women are walking...
Her eyes were a little blank, and she was still holding the sick number sheet in her hand.
two months.
This was an unexpected child. Ji Yang was drunk that day, and she broke free quickly, never thinking that she would be pregnant.
The marriage of the two is in jeopardy, it's okay to bring Ji Sibei with one, she can go to work, if there is another one, will she have the ability to support the children
The three of them will wear down together, she dare not bet.
The phone in the bag was vibrating. It was Ji Yang. She took several calls before answering. The other party was anxious, "Where did you go?"
"Go out and buy something." She replied.
"That's it." It was obvious that he breathed a sigh of relief, "When will you be back?"
"Wait a while, I'll pick up Beibei directly."
"Okay, be careful on the road."
"Um."
He said a few more words before hanging up the phone. Jiang Ling counted the time, put the checklist in her bag, pressed it at the bottom, and got up to pick up Ji Sibei.
After she came back, her expression remained the same as usual, as if this incident hadn't happened in the slightest, Ji Yang would still watch there while he was making pastries, and she didn't struggle to wake up in the morning, and woke up naturally until she fell asleep.
The income of the cake shop is all in her hands. Looking at the numbers in her hands, she is calculating how much money can support a child, at least until kindergarten, so that she can make good money.
"I still need to make more wooden stick puffs. We will hold some activities in the next few days, and the sales of mango puffs are also very good." She ordered.
Ji Yang raised his head and exhaled, "I'm exhausted, can I not do it?"
"No." She refused flatly.
"How about hiring a master?" He suggested, "This way we can make more and sell more."
"No." She shook her head.
Why are you so busy? He was busier than this before, lazy for a few months, and became squeamish? Hiring a master is a lot of money, and the rent will be paid for a year soon, and she will have no money after paying.
How can I raise a child without money
The child is also his child, so it's not oppressing him, right
She didn't dare to keep Erbao without money.
Ji Yang was adjusting the ingredients. He took a deep look at her, and suddenly reached out his hand, which was stained with flour, and nodded between her eyebrows, "You are too cruel, what should I do if I am exhausted?"
Jiang Ling suddenly recalled a scene in her mind. When he was a teenager, when the two first fell in love, when he was making bread, he liked to paint her face with flour, and she was always painted as a little cat.
In the blink of an eye, both of them changed beyond recognition, and she made a future without him.
She was too indifferent, and she didn't have the panic-stricken actions of pestering him before. Ji Yang's expression slowly calmed down, and he opened his mouth to smile, "Actually, let's talk, I know that the rent will be paid next month, so let's sell more."
"You know." She walked out.
Don't you feel it
deceitful.
She loves Ji Yang and has been hurt, but she still hopes, otherwise she wouldn't be struggling to support this family.
Afterwards, Ji Yang did more, his daily profit became higher and higher, and more and more cake orders were made.
The rent was quickly enough, and Ji Yang didn't ask her to take the money, so she tested him.
"Take it, where do I spend my money making pastries every day?"
After he finished speaking, he lit a cigarette and checked to see if she had lit it. Although he was no longer an alcoholic and could not quit smoking, he would refrain from smoking in front of Ji Sibei and her.
"After paying the rent, can you keep the income for half a year?" She asked a question with an extremely serious expression.
"That's for sure, I still have this confidence." Ji Yang nodded.
"Then can you guarantee that you will be in the store for half a year? Like this time, stay for half a year."
"I didn't want to go, earn money to support you and Beibei, I was wrong last time, really wrong." Ji Yang looked at her with guilt in his eyes, "I made you and Beibei suffer a lot, Breaking the promise I made to you at the beginning."
"The half-year profit is mine." She ignored his sensationalism.
"Take it, the money you saved before is taken by me... Well, I don't want it this time, I'll put it in your hands and I'll feel at ease."
"I'm pregnant." She looked at him calmly and said.
