evening.
When Ji Yang came back from get off work, he stopped by to pick up his son from the hobby class.
As soon as he entered the door, the atmosphere was a bit strange, the table was empty, and Yan Yun was gone.
Didn't cook
"Mom." The little guy was carrying his schoolbag and yelled loudly, but no one answered. He frowned, bent down and yelled again, "Mom!"
The response can be heard throughout the room.
"Don't raise your voice." Ji Yang reprimanded lightly.
Yan Yun came out of the bedroom with a dignified expression. She squatted down and looked at the little guy, trying to restrain her emotions, "Baby, mom didn't cook, and ordered takeaway, and it will take a while to arrive. Go outside and watch TV now." , Mom and Dad have something to discuss. Okay?"
"Um."
…
The little guy climbed onto the sofa with the remote control, looking at the closed door from time to time, with doubts in his ignorant eyes, but was soon attracted by the wonderful cartoon.
inside the house.
Yan Yun handed a few pieces of paper to Ji Yang, "I went to the hospital this afternoon, you can read it yourself."
Hearing this, Ji Yang thought she was suffering from some kind of illness, so he quickly took it to look at it, but saw that it said, "Three weeks of intrauterine conception."
He breathed a sigh of relief, and said slowly, "Isn't this great? Then you don't have to go to work."
Yan Yun looked at him like this, and his calm emotions just now were involved by him, "Can you give birth?"
"Why didn't you give birth?" He asked back, a little annoyed, "Get rid of it?"
"Doudou has just entered kindergarten, and there is no one to take care of him. Besides, we can't afford to support two of them... No one helps us, Dad is in poor health, and mother can't leave at all. Their health is getting worse and worse... What if... DouDou The quality of life here must also decline, and this will cost a lot of money." Yan Yun is naturally reluctant to fight, but the real problems are like mountains, pressing on the two of them.
She walked to the bed and sat down impatiently.
Life is just a little bit better, they can't afford to have two children, and they are afraid that they will treat their son badly.
How could Ji Yang think about these things
He seemed to work hard and earn money to support his family, but in fact, once the salary card was handed in, he let go of everything, and asked her to do everything big and small.
"Then you have to give birth, right?" Ji Yang's voice of raising opinions became much lower, sitting beside her, and said softly, "Two are also good."
"It doesn't matter what you think. I'm sure I won't be able to work for a few more years." Yan Yun didn't want to talk to him, she turned away and didn't want to talk to him.
At that time, the family of four will still live in a one-bedroom, one-living room house, and the elderly in the family will be like two time bombs.
In the countryside, there is no guarantee, and the health is gradually getting worse.
"It's because I think I should stay here, and I'll figure out a way later, what do you think?" Ji Yang asked her.
Yan Yun was silent for a while, "I plan to talk about it in a few years."
She didn't think so soon.
Their family really didn't have any savings, and they just got over it.
"When is it in a few years? Are you sure you will be fully prepared by then?" Ji Yang took her hand, "I'm sorry, I didn't even give you the most basic sense of security, I'm useless .”
"That's not the problem." Yan Yun didn't meet his eyes.
Both of them came here in an ordinary way. Compared with many people who have already had a good life, Ji Yang also worked hard enough.
Ji Yang let out a breath slowly, and his words were a little lonely, "If I can reassure you, you probably won't have so much hesitation and worry."
"No." Yan Yun bowed her head.
"Just stay, we will try our best to create a better life for them, I will work harder." Ji Yang promised.
Yan Yun raised her hand and patted him, Liu Mei frowned tightly, Xu was out of breath, raised her hand and patted him again.
The strength is not heavy, but the resentment is not small.
"My fault." His attitude of admitting his mistake was very good, he leaned over to hug her, and pushed forward even after being pushed.
Yan Yun laughed as she pushed and pushed, put her arms around his waist, buried her head in his chest, and said after a while, "Actually, I don't want to increase your pressure. You have worked so hard for so many years, and you are just getting older. I want to relieve your stress."
Otherwise she wouldn't go to work.
Ji Yang works two jobs by herself. Although she is not at home and idle, she feels guilty in her heart.
"Stress is also motivation, everyone is very hard." Ji Yang let go of her, and looked at her with a smile, "But our goal is for this family, as long as the family's sense of happiness is high, as long as it is worth it, it will not be hard work."
"You worked hard too."
…
The child was left behind in Yan Yun's womb, so she could only resign from the job she found and recuperate at home.
As the month got older, it was inconvenient to pick up and drop off her son, and Ji Yang didn't dare to let her go out alone. The little guy was just being naughty, so he was really afraid that something might happen to her.
He still works at the headquarters, and his salary and bonus have increased a lot, but it is far from enough to support his family and prepare for the subsequent expenses of a second child.
Yan Yun has a good plan for financial management. She will divide her wages into several parts and save them forcibly. The quality of life is obviously more tense than before.
Although it is less than the saving part, I dare not use it indiscriminately.
Ji Yang sometimes felt that it was unnecessary, and he could take one step at a time. Yan Yun taught him with a big belly, "We are all people without backing, and now we are the children of others, or the parents of children, so we can't take one step at a time. "
He suddenly fell silent, with a look of embarrassment, "It's better for my wife to be more thoughtful. I didn't think about it so much, and I'll listen to you."
After October.
Yan Yun gave birth to a daughter and made up a good name. Ji's mother took time to take care of her for ten days, which was already the limit. Yan's mother also came for a few days, but finally went back.
And Yan Yun had a caesarean section. She had just returned from the hospital and her energy was limited. Ji Yang felt that the second child would be a little harder at best, and at worst he would help to look after her.
As a result, a life of chicken and dog jumping began.
When he came back from get off work, the first thing he did was to pick up his son and then go home. At this time, Yan Yun had already taken care of the child at home for a day. After he came back, he had to watch the baby while she hurriedly cooked.
The baby cried so much that he was hugged and coaxed, and at the same time, he might have to complete the parent-child homework arranged by his son's kindergarten.
It's hard to eat a good meal, the son wants to sleep, and the daughter wants to make trouble, so I bite the bullet and go to coax one by myself.
In the middle of the night, both of them were exhausted. Ji Yang went to work tomorrow, and Yan Yun told him to go to bed first, and she hugged her daughter to coax her.
He couldn't sleep peacefully watching it, so he got up and took turns coaxing him. How could he think about the relationship between husband and wife at this time
As I get older, I no longer have the full energy like having a first child. After staying up all night, I can go to work energetically. Usually, I am dizzy and dazed for a day.
One person in a row, depressed to the point of collapse, the whole person is irritable, and even powerless and bored.
Babies are easy to get sick, and if the son makes a fuss, the husband and wife may quarrel. No, the two of them will do it today.
It seemed that both of them were pushed to a certain edge, the anger could not be accumulated anymore, Yan Yun was also full of grievances, and Ji Yang was physically and mentally exhausted.
"I don't want to quarrel with you. I've had a meeting at work all day, and tomorrow I have to go to class and send DouDou to a hobby class." Ji Yang's face was darkened, with an impatient look on his face.
"Who isn't tired?" The son was already asleep, Yan Yun lowered her voice, looked at Ji Yang, a little hysterical, "Aren't I tired? My daughter made a fuss all day, I hugged and coaxed her all day, I didn't even eat lunch, I didn’t dare to sleep, I didn’t sleep much last night.”
Everyone understands the truth, but the house is full of chicken feathers.
Ji Yang raised his forehead, he, like Yan Yun, wanted to escape, but he couldn't bear it, and it was impossible.
Life is tight, and troubles keep coming.
No one is a saint, after all, he is just a layman.
Noisy, noisy, occasionally the parents of both parties call to persuade, and the two communicate by phone or text message.
The people next to him could feel it more or less, even Zhang Ran who was on the same campus as Ji Yang could feel it.
Men in the late pregnancy and childbirth period are most likely to have two minds. On the one hand, the wife’s body and appearance have undergone tremendous changes, and on the other hand, the energy is limited after giving birth, and most of the wife’s attention has been diverted.
It is easy to steal at this time.
When there is no class, Ji Yang sometimes sits alone in the classroom, and he doesn't seem to be in a good mood.
Zhang Ran observed him for a few days and then walked in to have a heart-to-heart talk with him.
Not long after Chen Zijun broke up with her, he got married in a flash. The other wife just gave birth, so she came to cheat on her, complained about the mess at home, and didn't want to go back.
From the bottom of her heart, she spurned the man's behavior, but she also enjoyed the benefits from the side.
Ji Yang automatically worked overtime today, Zhang Ran came in to ask about his recent situation, and said with concern, "Is there something wrong with your family recently? It seems that you are not in a good mood, don't you want to go back?"
Hearing this, he smiled helplessly, "I have a bit of a conflict with her. My son is at his hometown today. Let's go back later to avoid confrontation with her."
"She should be considerate of you. She is still working at such a late hour and is not free on both weekends. I think it's a bit too much." Zhang Ran said with a straight face.
Chen Zijun would praise her for being gentle and regret breaking up with her, while Ji Yang put away his computer and said flatly, "No one has it easy."
"But it's even more difficult for you." Zhang Ran said.
"Actually, I can be lazy at work. She can't do it. The second child is troublesome. I was the one who insisted on giving birth to her. The child is too young, and my energy is indeed limited." Ji Yang said helplessly and regretted.
"That can't vent your emotions on you. Every adult should digest his emotions and not let others pay for it."
Ji Yang nodded, agreeing with this sentence.
"She also agreed at the time. Children are difficult to raise, right?"
"Yes." Ji Yang packed his bag, walked out with it, and replied casually.
Zhang Ran was also about to go back, and the two of them were together.
On the way, she went on to say, "I think two people need to communicate well. There will always be a period of time. The quarrel intensifies the contradiction between the two people, and complaining can't solve the problem."
He exhaled, "Yes, I thank God if she thinks so."
Hearing the words, Zhang Ran felt a tinge of joy in being recognized, "Actually, at this age, you still need to have this kind of ideological awareness. Life is already stumbling, and you should understand and tolerate each other. You have done a good job. I didn’t say I don’t care about things, but people are not satisfied.”
"I hope." He said and walked to the side, "I'm going to buy Mala Tang, where do you want to go back?"
"Let's go together, I just want to eat." Zhang Ran was only halfway through talking, and went there first, "The hot and sour noodles are not bad, I often buy them home after get off work, you like it too ?”
"My wife likes it, buy it to make her happy." Ji Yang smiled.
Zhang Ran's smile subsided a little bit, and he said after a while, "You're arguing like this, why are you coaxing her?"
Honest people are easy to bully, Ji Yang is really easy to deal with.
Back then she did what she asked him to do, but unfortunately she looked down on him at the time, thinking he was too cowardly and incompetent.
I can't figure out what to do.
Ji Yang asked the boss to make hot and sour noodles with a clear soup, and chose some snacks. After a while, he said, "Actually, there are many things. We understand it ourselves, but there is a stage, including emotions. Venting, adapting to pressure, and changing roles, me and her are working hard, everyone, is changing."
"They are all making concessions."
…
Zhang Ran didn't answer any more, and stood still for a long time, suddenly felt that he was a little smart and judged others recklessly.
It's ridiculous.
A person who is married and has never had a child has never experienced this feeling at all, but has come to a conclusion and feels that he is better and better than the other party.
A long time after Ji Yang left, she walked aimlessly on the street, those ridiculous and dark thoughts circling in her mind, then dissipated again.
Just like Zhang's mother has been chanting, which family has no hard-to-read scriptures? I want to disband several times, but I still maintain it. Everyone is reluctant and is trying their best. They have been running in for the past few years, and it will get better and better later.
"Crack." Ji Yang slowly opened the door, then closed it gently, put the bag on the tea table, and walked to the bedroom.
Yan Yun hugged the child and leaned against the head of the bed, patting her hand constantly, trying to lull her to sleep.
He walked over, saw that the baby had closed his eyes, pointed, and lowered his voice, "Asleep?"
"I just closed my eyes." Yan Yun still didn't dare to put it down, and held it for another ten minutes, then slowly moved to the side of the bed, put it down carefully, seeing that she didn't wake up, she breathed a sigh of relief, reached out and patted her sore shoulder .
"I'll beat you." Ji Yangxian stretched out his hand courteously.
"No need." Yan Yun was bothering him recently, she glanced at him and then walked away, her words were very light, listening carefully, she seemed a little awkward.
"I bought you hot and sour noodles, as well as barbecue." He hurriedly followed behind and squeezed her shoulders.
"I won't eat." She didn't look back, "I'm annoying you, don't touch me."
Even so, he didn't let go of his hand.
"Wife." Ji Yang followed her to the living room, dragged her to the sofa, asked her to sit down, and continued, "I bought you chicken wings."
Not to mention, the living room is filled with fragrance, and it smells delicious.
Yan Yun pursed her lips tightly and didn't look at him.
"Let's all calm down. Doudou has been making trouble recently. I asked him to stay with my mother for two days, so that we can take it easy. I won't go to class tomorrow. I will take my daughter with me. You have a rest, and then we will talk about it." For a period of time, how about in-depth communication? Only when the problem is solved can we go on.”
Ji Yang looked into her eyes and spoke sincerely.
During this period of time, both of them felt that the other was suffocating in their hearts, and no one would let the other go. In addition, the child was not easy to raise, and the conflict was getting bigger and bigger.
Yan Yun is not unreasonable, he bowed his head, and she went down the steps, after all, everyone is at fault.
"It's the one downstairs from the agency. I bought it today." Ji Yang opened the box and handed her the chopsticks.
"I can't finish it." Yan Yun took it over.
Ji Yang: "Then you eat first, and I'll take care of the rest."
Yan Yun kicked him lightly, "Then go and get the bowl, I'll give you half, you won't be able to sleep if you're too full."
"Um."
…
Yan Yun had no resistance to these delicious foods, so she ate two chicken wings, and the two of them had a dinner. They felt better, and Ji Yang was more pleasing to the eye.
Someone was watching the child, so she got a good night's sleep, and Ji Yang didn't let Ji Yang take care of the child alone the next day. The two of them came to take care of the child together, and the son who made trouble was not there, so it was much easier.
When communicating, the two also expressed their thoughts from the bottom of their hearts. Apart from being too tired, the main reason is that the other party is not considerate enough.
No one has changed, and they have not changed their minds. They are just dissatisfied with the other party's state and think that they both have a second child, so they should take more responsibility and make more changes.
Talking about a lot of things, the conflict will be eased a lot. Ji Yang takes on more housework, at least don't think it's all her responsibility. Yan Yun is more considerate of his hard work and tolerates each other.
Afterwards, if Yan Yun was very depressed, Ji Yang would let her take her daughter back to her mother's house for a few days, while he took his son at home.
Back and forth, the daughter is also growing up slowly, and when she can walk, Yan Yun can take her to pick up Doudou after school, and the two are very obedient and sensible.
There are fewer worries, and the relationship between husband and wife is getting better and better. In the past, a family of three went for a walk, but now it has become a family of four. The family is full of children's laughter every day, which is very lively.
the following year.
Ji Yang's reunion was held again.
This time, everyone changed a bit. Chen Zijun got married and had a child, and got divorced within a year. Pan Chengnan was still acting like a fool.
What about Zhang Ran? Still single, but I heard that he hooked up with Chen Zijun again, the news was spread, many people knew about it, but they didn't say it publicly.
Of course, most of the people in the class are relatively happy in their marriages, and many of them gave birth to a second child like Ji Yang.
Ji Yang is now holding a one-and-a-half-year-old little radish head in his arms, white and tender, with a small hat on his head, very cute.
Both she and Doudou followed Ji Yang's temperament, they were more shy and shy, they stayed in Ji Yang's arms the whole time, they would whisper to Ji Yang to bring her something to eat, and then they would slowly stutter like Yan Yun eating. , tasting delicious, well-behaved and obedient, what I like most is looking at my father, reaching out to grab the corner of his father's clothes.
"I heard that Ji Yang has become some kind of director now?" Pan Chengnan looked at Ji Yang, picked up his glass, "Come here, have a drink."
"No, I'll drive later." Ji Yang declined.
"You're getting more and more uninteresting." Pan Chengnan felt disappointed, and asked Ji Yang to come out for dinner recently. One of the few times, he left halfway through the meal, and the other time he didn't take the initiative to pay the bill, and wanted to AA.
Hit them again.
"I'll really drive in a while." Ji Yang was very helpless, "My wife and son are in the hobby class in the business building next door, and we have to go back together. This wine is really undrinkable."
"I heard that Ji Yang bought a car?" Chen Zijun interrupted.
"No way, there are two children, it's more convenient to buy a car, otherwise we can't go out together." He explained.
"You've had a good time recently."
"that is."
"I used to see you as the most honest, submissive in everything you did, but now you are doing better than us."
…
The people at the table sang together, each with their own thoughts.
All Ji Yang could do was smile and didn't answer too much.
Listening to those people's words, Zhang Ran's heart was stirred up, but he didn't say a word, and even if he was pulled out to make a joke, he would immediately change the subject.
After the party, she and Chen Zijun walked to the parking lot and met Ji Yang's family of four downstairs.
Yan Yun took the little boy by the hand, and Ji Yang handed her the daughter, with a smile in his words, "Didn't you keep calling mommy? Then let mommy hug you."
"Mom..." His daughter leaned over and fell in Yan Yun's direction, her voice was clear and soft.
Yan Yun's eyes were full of smiles, she stretched out her hand to hug her, bowed her head and kissed her, "Mom is going to class with my brother, I already told Ruoruo today, right? We'll wait here for Dad to drive over."
"Doudou, stand by the side."
"I'm going with Dad."
…
The voices of the family of four kept coming, but Zhang Ran turned around and walked in another direction without letting himself be discovered from the beginning to the end.
The only bit of shame and reason she had told her that there was no need to join in, the cost was too high, and Ji Yang would not leave the family, and he might even be cast aside by him.
Gradually, she was still single. On the one hand, she was demanding, and she also had to admit that her advantages were getting smaller and smaller.
She gradually heard about Ji Yang's recent situation from other people's mouths. He changed his house, was promoted, and got a better car. His wife came out to work, and his children seemed to be doing well in school...
All of this is the same as what he said to her at the beginning, he will work hard, and everything will gradually get better.
Unfortunately, she didn't believe it.
