Ellie is in confinement, and two novice parents are busy.
The baby must be fussing, eating and drinking, and feeling uncomfortable, and she will only cry to solve it.
Ji Yang, a big man, is a bit more careless. Most of them are taken care of by Ai Li, and there are only two people in the family. He is forced to learn how to cook.
The confinement meal was collected by Ellie on the Internet a long time ago, and it can be cooked according to the above. He has to go to the vegetable market early in the morning to buy vegetables, and cook them when he comes back.
Although there is a washing machine, many clothes cannot be washed in it, and he can only wash it by hand clumsily. Sometimes it is not clean, and Ellie will not blame him. She is content to be her helper.
"Woooo... wow wow..."
Ai Li and him were eating, and the sleeping baby cried again, louder and louder.
Ji Yang propped his forehead with both hands, with an irritable expression, "It's coming again, I can't sit still for two minutes."
Ellie quickly finished the soup she picked up, "I'll go."
Both of them are forced to enter a brand new role, there must be a lot of discomfort, and Ji Yang is a machismo, it is really not easy to do this.
"No, you eat, I'll go." Ji Yang stood up and walked to the bedroom, his voice began to come from the bedroom, "Why are you crying again? Daddy hug."
"I can really cry, don't cry, don't cry."
…
The baby's crying became smaller and smaller, and Ellie started eating again, listening to the voice in the bedroom, feeling at ease.
The two have a tacit understanding not to mention the gender of the child and future plans, and live a stable life every day.
After a quick meal, she got up and went to the bedroom, took the child from his arms, and asked him to eat.
The banks where they went to work were all quite close. After Ji Yang went to work, he came back to have a meal at noon, and took care of the child by the way to help her share the burden.
"She's asleep, go to sleep." Ji Yang sat on the side, carefully covering the baby with the quilt.
Ellie took a nap, he took care of the baby when she cried, and he had to go to work at two o'clock in a while.
"When you come back later, you buy a fish, I want to eat it." Ellie covered the quilt and fell asleep, looking at him sitting on the side and said.
"Okay, what else?" Ji Yang nodded.
She can't go out like this, he will go straight back to buy groceries after get off work, either she will do it or he will do it.
Ellie shook her head, and said after a while, "Come back early, she's been making trouble these afternoons, and her voice is going to be hoarse from crying."
These days, both of them share the burden with each other. Although she knows that he is very tired at work, it is difficult for her to take care of her alone.
The body has not yet recovered, it is indeed tossing people.
At first, I was afraid that he would explode, but he didn't. Sometimes when he was tossed hard, he just went outside to be quiet, and didn't lose his temper with her, which made her gradually become more courageous.
"This weekend, get off work at 4 o'clock, I will try to come back at 4:30 o'clock, you sleep first." Ji Yang agreed.
Ai Li was woken up very early in the morning, and fell asleep as soon as she touched the pillow.
As soon as Ji Yang went out to work, a phone call woke up Ai Li and the baby. Seeing that it was Li Qiuxiang's call, she put her heart in her throat while coaxing her daughter.
The phone rang non-stop, and then I picked it up, and called softly, "Mom."
"Little Li." Li Qiuxiang's voice came from the other end, she asked a few symbolic questions, and went straight to the point, "When are you going to pay back the five thousand yuan you borrowed last time? Mom and Dad have no money at hand. The family can hardly get by."
Hearing this, Ellie's heart skipped a beat, not knowing how to answer.
They were still a little short of buying a house, so they asked Li Qiuxiang to borrow it. At that time, they said not to pay it back, but to subsidize them, but she thought that Ji Yang's family had a younger brother, so she insisted on paying it back to avoid conflicts later.
It is said that they will only pay back when they have money, and they are also working hard to save, but it is not as good as before. Where does the money come from now
"Mom also knows that your life is hard, but Xiaofeng also gave birth to a child, and milk powder and diapers cost money everywhere. Mom and Dad are incompetent, and they can't afford meat." Li Qiuxiang sighed over there.
Ellie had no choice but to say, "Mom, Ji Yang and I will return the money to you as soon as possible."
They have been repaying it all the time, but she is pregnant and has a lot of expenses after giving birth. It is true that she has no money to pay back, and she is short of the last five thousand.
"As soon as possible?" Li Qiuxiang asked, pretending to be pitiful, "Your father and I have less than a hundred yuan in our pockets."
Ellie got angry and held back, "When Ji Yang comes back, I will tell him, we will pay back as much as we can."
"That's fine." Li Qiuxiang muttered a few words and hung up the phone reluctantly.
"Mom, are you hungry?" Ai Li didn't have time to think about it, and quickly hugged her daughter to coax her again.
When the child stopped crying, she looked at the empty bedroom and looked up at the ceiling with tears in her eyes.
Where is the money
The mortgage is coming soon, she is on maternity leave, has no performance, her salary has shrunk a lot, and having a child is even more expensive.
When Ji Yang came back, he saw Ellie sitting at the table, very depressed, as if she had cried.
"What's the matter?" He walked over and looked at the passbook she took out.
"Mom asked us to pay back the five thousand." She turned sideways and looked at him, "I did the math, we just have five thousand and three, but the milk powder is about to run out, and there are mortgages, diapers, and all kinds of messy expenses , What do we live on if we pay back?"
"Why do you have to pay it back suddenly?" Ji Yang was very dissatisfied, "I have been paying it all the time, isn't this a heavy burden?"
"Parents said they had no money to live on, and Xiaofeng had a baby again, and they didn't have a job, so they must be taken care of by their parents." Ai Li could also guess that because she gave birth to a daughter, she shouldn't take it seriously. People don't care at all.
She didn't dare to say it, for fear that Ji Yang's heart would be unbalanced and he would blame her or his daughter.
In the past, he was the favored party, but because of the birth of this child, everything changed.
She thought for a while, then looked at the cabinet next to her, "Why don't you pawn my gold jewelry? This way, we can pay off our parents' money, and we won't be in debt, and life will gradually get better .”
As long as Li Qiuxiang doesn't disturb their life, she will.
These are all belongings outside her body. She doesn't usually wear these jewelry. They are all given when she gets married, which is a local custom here.
"He has hands and feet, and he has someone to help him raise them. If he doesn't pay back, he will pay interest at worst." Ji Yanghei turned around and went to the kitchen with a sullen face.
"I told my mother how much to pay, and she urged me." Seeing that he was angry, Ellie also lowered her voice, with a sad expression on her face.
"What's the rush? Didn't you give her money last time you went back? When did you go back and didn't give her money?" Ji Yang put the fish in the tank with a sullen face, "We won't pay back the money?"
Ellie walked up to him and lifted the dishes up, "Won't you still make trouble?"
She feels that she has a weakness now, and it's okay for Ji Yang to stand on her side, but if she doesn't stand on her side, then she will be a woman, and there will be many deadly points.
"What's the trouble? Didn't you agree at the beginning? Suddenly, I went back on my word. Where can I find her money?" Ji Yang was also very irritable.
It's hard for Ellie to change the things he decides, especially when it comes to big things. Usually he has the final say. She wants to say something, but the other party interrupts, "There's nothing to say. If you have money, you will pay it back. What's the point? money?"
Ellie stopped talking, since he said so, she was relieved.
In the evening, Li Qiuxiang called again.
The other party is very smart and never calls Ji Yang. He tells Ellie about these things first, and then calls to confirm after the husband and wife have discussed it.
"I'll pick it up." Ji Yang took the phone over at once.
"Xiao Li, have you eaten yet?" Li Qiuxiang's words came from there with a smile.
"Mom, didn't you say that you won't pay back the money first? Why do you have to pay it back now?" Ji Yang preemptively spoke with extreme displeasure.
Li Qiuxiang was still a little apprehensive about the eldest son, who had a bad temper and acted decisively, so she could only say, "Parents can't help it either. Look, Shuo Shuo is going to have a full moon wine soon, and your father and I will count on it." After a while, I have to hold 60 tables. There is no other way, and my parents can't borrow that much money, and I didn't ask you for it. It's just..."
The child of Ning Feng and Ji Musheng is called Ji Tianshuo, which is really a name with high hopes.
"Your granddaughter has to do the full moon wine first, and we need money first when we lack money." Ji Yang frowned.
"What kind of full moon wine does she serve?" Li Qiuxiang's voice suddenly became sharper, "Are you afraid that others will not know that you have given birth to a daughter? What should you do? Shuo Shuo is also making a lot of noise, I'm afraid I can't bring it for you, or else Find someone to give it away, and the pressure to raise money is also great, as long as they are healthy, some people will still adopt.”
"Mom, I'll help you find out. The family is rich. They gave birth to two boys, both of whom graduated from college. They..."
Ai Li was beside her, she turned around with her daughter in her arms, her back was facing Ji Yang, she lowered her head, tears fell to the ground.
Ji Yang got up and walked out, the living room was constantly arguing, and finally he just heard him roar, "Then don't do it, you can do whatever you want, and don't think about me going back, that's it."
