The first time Zhang Ruowan met He Miao was when Ji Yang went out to buy mangoes. She was greedy and wanted to eat green mangoes, so she acted like a baby and asked him to go out to buy them.
I don't know what's going on, but I'm so greedy, I drool when I think about it, I can't bear it, I want to go when I get up, he didn't worry about her, let her stay at home.
"You are?" Zhang Ruowan looked at the woman outside the door. She was middle-aged, wearing a yellow top, with dark skin, wrinkled hands, and a restrained yet polite smile.
She was still holding a sack in her hand, and the chicken in it showed a head, and suddenly rolled up, making Zhang Ruowan back again and again in fright.
"It's okay, they are raised at home, does Ji Yang live here? He said it once last time, I don't know if it is." He Miao looked at the house number again.
Zhang Ruowan nodded, already vaguely guessing the identity of the other party in his heart.
"I'm Ji Yang's mother, are you Ruo Wan?" He Miao looked at her, her gaze fell on her stomach, "I heard from Ji Yang that you're pregnant, has it been three months?"
"Exactly fifteen weeks." Zhang Ruowan turned back and made way, "Come in and sit down, Ji Yang hasn't come back yet."
"Okay, excuse me." He Miao walked in with the bag in her hand. She inspected the room and looked for a topic. "Is this a two-bedroom apartment? The school provided it for free, right?"
"Yeah." Zhang Ruowan took out a cup to make tea for her, looked at the sack next to it, the chicken in it was churning again, and kept crowing again, she shrank her neck, but didn't show it, and said politely, "You can just come , don’t bring anything here.”
It's funny to say that she has been married to Ji Yang for so long, and she has never met Ji's father or He Miao, and the two families have never met.
The two had no marriage certificate when they were born with Ji Yang, and afterward they got married, and no one cared about Ji Yang, so there was no dowry when she got married, and the diamond ring for marriage proposal was bought by Ji Yang with his credit card.
She accidentally heard from Ji Yang that He Miao had married and had two sons.
"It's raised at home, it's best used to make up your body, you see you are so thin, you need to make up for it." He Miao held the cup and looked around for another week, "This house is pretty good, you live here, How nice."
Zhang Ruowan sat down, pursed her lips and smiled, "It's in school, it's really good."
"You are still pregnant and you have to go to class again. Is there anyone to take care of you?" He Miao asked suddenly, and then said, "I took care of my two daughters-in-law during confinement. If no one takes care of you, I can come Take care of you."
"No need." Zhang Ruowan declined politely. In name, He Miao was her mother-in-law, but the two of them had never been in contact with each other, so she absolutely did not dare to answer this question.
Besides, Zhang's mother is free to take care of her, so there is no need to trouble He Miao.
"I'm also Ji Yang's mother. Although I seldom take care of him these years, I will help him if I can. This child is alone." He Miao sighed, as if there was a lot of helplessness.
"His father cheated. I just gave birth to him at that time and was still in confinement. He was very noisy and had to be hugged and coaxed. I was exhausted and sick. His father didn't give me a penny. I went to my mother's house to get it." Money to support him, I couldn't stay in that situation."
"You are also a woman, and you are pregnant now, and you know the hard work involved."
He Miao looked at her, talking about her difficulties, and wanted Zhang Ruowan's approval, thinking that there was nothing wrong with her remarrying.
Zhang Ruowan looked at her and spoke clearly, "I understand and sympathize with you. For you, what you did was not wrong. You have the right to choose and pursue the life you want to live."
He Miao seems to have resonated, "You were not in such a difficult situation at that time, how could I stay? Ji Yang has grown up now, will he understand me?"
"He will understand." Zhang Ruowan knew.
Hearing this, He Miao's eyes shone with joy from the bottom of her heart, and she nodded as if she had relieved a heavy burden.
"But understanding doesn't mean forgiveness." Zhang Ruowan spoke again, and said softly, "Understanding is one thing, and the damage that really exists is indelible."
Over the years, the damage done to Ji Yang's growth is irreversible.
He Miao's smile was restrained, her face was a little embarrassed, and she said awkwardly, "There is really no way to do that."
"I know."
Humans are creatures that seek advantages and avoid disadvantages.
"I'm back." Ji Yang's voice sounded, followed by a knock on the door, "Wanwan, open the door for me."
He Miao was about to get up, but Zhang Ruowan had already walked over, "Wait a minute."
"No hurry, take your time." Ji Yang instructed.
"Kacha." The door opened, and a bag appeared in front of Zhang Ruowan. He smiled and looked at her, "In addition to Qingmang, I also bought oranges, which are quite sour."
"The smell of chicken feet." Zhang Ruowan thought he had smelled it wrong.
"The little nose is quite clever. I saw there are lemon chicken feet for sale over there, so I bought some for you." Ji Yang walked in as he spoke, and when he raised his head, he stopped.
He looked at He Miao on the sofa, and the other party was also looking at him, rubbed his hands, and said carefully, "I heard that Ruowan is pregnant, I'll come over and have a look, and bring two old hens at home to make soup for her .”
The smile on Ji Yang's face suddenly subsided, "No, there are in the vegetable market."
Looking at He Miao's embarrassed face, Zhang Ruowan stretched out her hand and tugged at the corner of his clothes. Ji Yang was indifferent, so she could only say, "The ones raised at home are definitely better than the ones raised on feed, please excuse me."
"It's okay, I still have some at home. I'll bring you some next time." He Miao said quickly, observing Ji Yang carefully.
"I'll cut the mango for you." Ji Yang glanced at Zhang Ruowan, said to her, and went to the kitchen by himself.
The atmosphere was weird now, Zhang Ruowan felt that Ji Yang was a little unhappy, and she didn't dare to talk too much, but He Miao took the initiative, and she always wanted to say hello out of emotion and reason.
"He just came back from the supermarket, bought mangoes and oranges, and went to cut the fruit." Zhang Ruowan explained for Ji Yang with a smile, dispelling the awkward atmosphere.
"It's good to eat more fruit, and you should eat more too." He Miao nodded and continued.
The two had a chat but did not chat, Ji Yang came out after a while, he cut half a plate of fruit, brought it out and put it in the middle of the table.
Zhang Ruowan put it in front of He Miao, "You eat fruit."
"Let it go, let it go." He Miao hurriedly waved her hands to stop her, "Eat more, you are pregnant with a child, eat more."
"She eats this." Ji Yang put another plate of fruit in front of Zhang Ruowan, half with chopped green awns and half with chili powder.
"Spicy food?" He Miao smiled, "People say it's sour and spicy."
"I also like sour, the green mango is sour and sweet." Zhang Ruowan said a little embarrassed.
"Well, it's a blessing to be able to eat, as long as the child doesn't make a fuss." He Miao replied.
In fact, it was very noisy, but Zhang Ruowan didn't say anything, she used a toothpick to stick green awns, dipped some chili powder, it tasted delicious.
She suddenly felt her appetite whetted.
The child often made troubles that made her uncomfortable to drink water and unable to eat, as long as she ate some hot and sour food, the nausea would be slightly suppressed.
"Eat less, it's not good for your stomach." Ji Yang frowned and told her.
"Yeah." Zhang Ruowan ate a little less, but she was still very hungry, and looked at He Miao, "Can you stay for dinner? We have to eat later."
Anyway, she is also Ji Yang's mother, she is too embarrassed to return the things she brought, it's a matter of whether to keep it or not, as a daughter-in-law, she still has to ask.
The other party and Ji Yang didn't talk very much, and the atmosphere was a bit tense. She thought that He Miao would not stay, but she didn't expect the other party to agree, and said, "That's troublesome, you are still pregnant, I will cook for you. "
"No, I'll go, sit down." Ji Yang stood up, and before He Miao could say anything, he had already gone to the kitchen.
"Sit down, the rice is already cooked, it will be ready in a while." Zhang Ruowan looked at her and said.
He Miao looked at Ji Yang who was going to the kitchen, so she could only sit down, and looked at Zhang Ruowan again, "Does Ji Yang always cook?"
In the village, men did not enter the kitchen, neither did Ji's father. They thought it was women's job to do laundry, cook and take care of children. She was inevitably a little surprised. He knew very little about this son.
"Well, I was fussy some time ago, and he took care of me." Zhang Ruowan nodded, "He cooks delicious food."
He Miao squeezed out a smile, her expression was a little unnatural, she suddenly felt a little embarrassed and ironic, she didn't even know if her child could cook.
When I think about it carefully, I haven't contacted Ji Yang for many years. If it wasn't for the fact that the child hasn't changed much since he grew up, she might not be able to recognize him.
The meal was ready in no time, three dishes and one soup, and because of He Miaolai, Ji Yang added another dish.
The three sat down.
Ji Yang served rice for Zhang Ruowan and a bowl for He Miao by the way, but the other party was very uncomfortable and restrained, "I'll do it, I'll do it myself."
"You eat more of this." Zhang Ruowan pointed at Ji Yang's coke chicken wings, and greeted He Miao.
"En." He Miao was holding the bowl, Ji Yang ignored her the whole time, it was Zhang Ruowan who greeted her.
This son has always had resentment towards her, and also longed for her attention, but this time he was completely indifferent, which made her a little uncomfortable.
Even so, she still remembered the purpose of today. Halfway through the meal, she looked at Ji Yang, "Are you two busy enough? Do you need me to take care of Ruowan?"
After finishing speaking, he paused and said, "You've been married for so long, and I haven't been of much help. Having a baby is a bit of a hassle, and I have some experience."
"No need." Ji Yang offered Zhang Ruowan something to eat, but refused.
"We can take care of ourselves, so we won't bother you." Zhang Ruowan quickly said, with a much better attitude than him.
He Miao also has her own family, and she doesn't have much contact with her, so she can't agree.
Ji Yang refused without even thinking about it. He Miao was also embarrassed. He ate in silence and said after a while, "I also want to help you. I have my own family these years, and there are many things I can't do."
"So I don't want you to get involved. I can take good care of Wan Wan. No matter how bad it is, my mother-in-law and father-in-law are there. No need." Ji Yang raised his head, his words were light, and the meaning of rejection was obvious.
"That would be the best." He Miao nodded repeatedly while avoiding her eyes.
"I heard you're going to build a house? For your two sons in the countryside?" He asked again.
"Yeah, they are all married and have no place to live. They have no choice but to borrow money." He Miao smiled wryly. The son has no ability, and the daughter-in-law relied on her own grandson to give birth to a grandson. .
"Last time you said that you borrowed 300,000 yuan. Since you have already borrowed money to build a house in the countryside, it means that you have no savings. If you give the 300,000 yuan, it is equivalent to giving it to you. I have taken a fancy to the other two houses. The full amount has just been paid. Alright, from now on, the father-in-law and mother-in-law will be the same, and Wanwan and I will be the same, and this is the only way we can live."
"300,000 is impossible, let alone whether to borrow or not. When I was in junior high school, you gave me a few months of living expenses. I will give you 30,000. You don't have to pay it back. It will also be the interest of the thousand and hundreds of dollars over the years. "
To put it bluntly, buy out that kindness.
He Miao is not a thick-skinned person, this matter was instigated and persecuted by her son, Ji Yang's words made her feel ashamed, and it was Ji's grandma who caused the trouble, so she had to calm things down a bit.
"If you don't have money, you don't need it. I will find a way." She blushed, and faltered out the words.
"When I sponsored, I also gave 40,000 yuan to Ji Xiong, and grandma forced him to send me 2,000 yuan back to pay the university fees." Ji Yang's words were emotionless.
With this money, buy out everything.
In the end, He Miao still had no guts to refuse the money, holding the money in his hand, heavy and hot.
Thirty thousand yuan.
A poor farming family may not be able to save 30,000 yuan in three years. She can only comfort herself that she was kind to Ji Yang at the beginning, and she is so short of money, it is not too much to accept.
After a hasty meal, she didn't have the face to stay, and told Zhang Ruowan some things to pay attention to, and she walked away in despair.
Ji Yang let it go last time, meaning she wanted to give it to her, and she felt sorry for it, and wanted to serve Zhang Ruowan and the child for a few years, so she would pay it back. It seems that she thought too much and misunderstood what Ji Yang meant last time.
She looked at the door, walking slower and slower.
In my memory, Ji Yang was still the kid who came to look for her.
He was very young at that time, only six or seven years old.
I don't know how to know the village where she lives. A man came to her, wanted her to go home, and dragged her away crying.
How could she go
At that time, she had already given birth to two sons, and this child was already a burden to her. She bought him a candy, half-coaxed and half-coaxed him back, and then ran away in a hurry, afraid that her current husband would find out, and told Grandma Ji to keep an eye on him , don't implicate her.
"Mom, mom, come home with me."
"You're my mother, they say you're my mother."
"Wuuu... Mom, I want to follow you, I want to follow you."
…
The little boy was wearing baggy old clothes and torn cloth shoes on his feet. His face was very dirty and he was out of breath from crying.
"husband"
A soft voice broke Ji Yang's thoughts, and at this time He Miao outside the door also put away his memory, turned and walked towards the school gate.
Zhang Ruowan's eyes were filled with worry.
"What's the matter?" Ji Yang put away his emotions, continued to lower his head to clean up the dishes, and washed them in the sink.
"What about that?" Zhang Ruowan pointed to the two chickens that He Miao brought. Do you want to kill them at home
If you don't kill it, you still have to raise it
"I'll take it to someone else to clean it up later and bring it back. I'll stew it for you to eat at night. It's 15,000 a piece, which is very expensive." Ji Yang boiled water and took a rag to wash.
What he said was a bit sarcastic, Zhang Ruowan felt even more distressed when he heard it, walked over, put his arms around his waist, and rubbed his cheek against his back.
It's not a question of 30,000 yuan. Even if there is no demolition fund, they can still fund 30,000 yuan. It was these two people who appeared at this time.
No matter what kind of attitude, there is only one purpose.
money.
Really ironic.
"The demolition fee has been paid, and I am going to sell the resettlement fee. I paid 30,000 yuan without discussing with you. I hope you don't mind." Ji Yang said with a sideways face.
"It's your money. You decide how much to give. If you think it's right to do so, I think it's right." Zhang Ruowan shook his head and hugged him tighter.
That is a measure in his heart, and he needs to measure it by himself, and nothing can replace him, after all, it is his own experience in the past twenty years.
Ji Yang washed the dishes and put them away, dried his hands, grabbed her hand, pulled it away slightly, turned around by himself, Zhang Ruowan hid in his arms again, with his chin resting on his chest, and his head raised slightly.
"The face has swollen a bit." Ji Yang looked down at the fair and delicate face, and changed the subject, "A little more swelled up. I was as thin as a bamboo pole some time ago."
"At that time, you will be fat and fat." Zhang Ruowan pouted, shaking her thinking head.
"No, she's still a hot mom after giving birth, and when she takes the child out, people say she's a sister." Ji Yang teased her.
"Then what are you?" Zhang Ruowan frowned, happily coaxed by him.
"It's brother, and then we go for a walk with the baby every day, as long as we learn to walk, we can go for a walk. Then buy a rope, hold it in your hand, and walk in front of him. If he runs around, pull him back, pull him back."
He felt that the impression was not vivid enough, so he gave an example, "Have you ever seen someone walking a dog? The dog leash in his hand probably looks like that."
"Giggle." Zhang Ruowan couldn't help laughing out loud, reaching out to pat him, "What are you talking about?"
He can figure out the comparison between a child and a dog.
"Isn't it? I think it's also popular now, stocking up." Ji Yang hugged her and spoke in a dignified manner.
"I want to eat lemon chicken feet." She stuck out her tongue, "Is there any green mangoes? I want to eat."
Ji Yang: "..."
"Is the orange sour? If it's sour, I want to eat it with chili powder. Where did you put it? I want to eat it now." Like a greedy cat, she turned her head and looked around.
"Huh..." Ji Yang took a deep breath, let go of her, walked to the side, took out an orange, and pointed to the side.
Zhang Ruowan brought a bowl, took out the lemon chicken feet, smelled the aroma even more greedy, moved to Ji Yang next to him, kissed her, and said sweetly, "You are so kind."
Isn't it good
She felt that she was really torturing Ji Yang, so she just let him go.
"Can you be okay? I can't stand your limp look, you're so delicate." Ji Yang put the cut oranges in a bowl and looked at her with raised eyebrows.
It's okay if you don't say this, but when you say it, Zhang Ruowan becomes softer at night.
She has a delicate body and soft body, and she is never impatient with others, and she speaks in a soft voice. If you make her anxious, at most you will look at him like a poor rabbit, with red eyes.
After taking a bath and lying on top of him pretending to be cute, Ji Yang's heart melted. Looking at her, Ji Yang's heart beat faster.
Don't you have feelings for Zhang Ruowan
If you don't have one, you won't marry her. Whether it's unwillingness or rivalry, if you like her, you really liked her.
As for now...
He himself knew that as long as she was there, his eyes would reflect her figure, and if he got up and saw no one, his heart would skip a beat, for fear of accidents.
I like it now, and I like it even more.
"Are you really going to buy a house?" Zhang Ruowan asked while shrinking into his arms, still playing with his fingers.
"Well, I want to buy it." Ji Yang leaned over to kiss her temples, his voice was low and warm, "I want to give you and your child our home."
"Itchy." Zhang Ruowan turned her head slightly, with a smile in her tone, and stretched out her hand to his face, "Don't kiss here."
"Sensitive?" Ji Yang said softly at the end, hugging her tightly, Zhang Ruowan felt that he wanted to rub her into his body, but he was reluctant to use force because of her body.
It's frustrating.
Ji Yang is a man of action. He said he wanted to buy a house, but he called the elders of Shangzhang's family to see it the next day. It was still a hot day.
Such a large sum of money was spent all at once, even the two elders of the Zhang family disagreed a little.
"Wanwan and I will always buy it. My parents can't live there all the time. They will retire next year. Someone has to watch over the children."
"It took a lot of work to go back and forth."
Ji Yang always has reasons to convince them.
This newly developed community has an average price of 20,000 yuan, and the higher the floor, the more expensive it is. The greenery in the community is good, and all four people think that the two units on the ninth floor are good, and they are connected together, and they all face south.
Two rooms and one living room, with two large balconies, are relatively spacious.
"Why don't you pay the deposit first, and we'll go and have a look." Zhang's father felt that it was rather hasty, after all, it was the full payment, and there were two sets.
"Dad, this place is close to the school, the air is good, and it's still in the school district, I think it's pretty good." Ji Yang gave the water glass to Zhang Ruowan and walked with him for a while, but he was also very tired.
Zhang Ruowan drank water and advised Ji Yang, "Let's take a look again? Are there any other properties?"
It's too expensive, the total price comes down to more than three million yuan, and it's just a simple decoration.
"It's far away, there is no land nearby, and there will be no other real estate in the short term." Ji Yang took her by the hand and went to the sales hall.
"Did you bring your ID card?" the staff member asked.
"Bring it." Ji Yang handed over himself, his ID card and Zhang Ruowan's ID card.
Zhang Ruowan was stunned, "I don't need it."
She didn't pay, so naturally she wouldn't covet something that didn't belong to her. To her, it belonged to Ji Yang, not hers.
"Marriage property, whether it is added or not is the same?" Ji Yang smiled, and looked at the staff, "The 903 set only writes my wife's name, and the other set writes the two of us."
"I… "
"Mom and dad will live, so we must make them feel at ease." Ji Yang interrupted her, looked at the two elders of Zhang's family not far away, and put his finger to his mouth.
Zhang Ruowan signed in a daze, and suddenly got an extra suite.
When returning to Zhang's house at the beginning of the month, Zhang's mother quietly asked Zhang Ruowan whose name she wrote. Buying a house is not a trivial matter.
Although they are not greedy for Ji Yang, they are also husband and wife. She also wants to know how he handles this matter, which is related to how the other party views her daughter.
As soon as Zhang Ruowan said, Zhang's mother pondered for a while, and finally said nothing.
Unexpectedly, she went back to discuss with Zhang's father, and the next time she went back to have a dinner together, the two of them proposed to sell their set.
What did you sell it for
The two suites are simply decorated, and both hard and soft decorations are needed, otherwise it will be empty to live in, and it is impossible to hastily decorate and live in, that would be a waste.
Someone paid 870,000 yuan for that suite, and they can pay in full, but if the full amount is 850,000 yuan, the two elders of the Zhang family agree to sell it when the new house is handed over. The old couple can just take care of Zhang Ruowan. You can also stare at the decoration.
Zhang Ruowan can live in after giving birth, the time is just right.
This side is well arranged, as long as Zhang Ruowan's child is safe, there will not be too much pressure to take care of the child.
At that time, the two elders of Zhang's family will have retired, and Zhang Ruowan will also have maternity leave.
Ji's father is going crazy.
He thought that the funds would be allocated next month, so he took the time to find Ji Yang, but he bought a house and spent all the money.
He Miao knew shame, and would not be cheeky to ask Ji Yang for money. He didn't know, if he knew, he wouldn't raise someone outside, abandon his wife and children.
He didn't know where Ji Yang was, so he went to his hometown to argue and made a big fuss. Someone called Ji Yang and asked him to go back and deal with it.
Ji Yang couldn't hide it from Zhang Ruowan, because she heard the call from the side.
"Be good at home." He coaxed her.
Zhang Ruowan grabbed his hand, shook her head, and rarely became stubborn, "I don't, take me there."
Ji Yang looked at her, she didn't show weakness, and held his hand a little tighter, "Don't leave me alone."
He was defeated in the end.
Zhang Ruowan was his robbery, and he became more and more reluctant to wrong her.
