Extra chapter 25

When Ye Sibei and Qin Nan first arrived in the provincial capital, they lived in a very narrow rental house with poor lighting. It was only about 30 square meters, but the rent was 1,600 a month. It turned out that this was just because the house was in a security area. Good neighborhood.

This house type is the smallest in the community, but the community is very big. On the first day they arrived in Nancheng, they went out to buy groceries together and walked for twenty minutes from their home to the entrance of the community. Along the garden path, there was even an artificial koi pond. When they walked out of the door, the community security guard saluted them both.

The security guard raised his hand, and Qin Nan immediately became nervous. Ye Sibei quietly held his hand and reminded him in a low voice: "1600."

Qin Nan immediately felt confident. He nodded silently and walked out of the community with Ye Sibei to buy food at the supermarket at the door.

The prices of vegetables downstairs in the community are very expensive. As Ye Sibei picked them, he sighed: "The small melons in Nancheng are only 2.7 yuan per catty, but here they are almost 5 yuan. The salary has not increased, and the life is much higher. I will pay attention to it earlier." Passed the exam..."

When she heard that Qin Nan didn't respond behind her, she looked back at Qin Nan and saw that he was looking at his phone. She couldn't help but ask, "What are you looking at?"

"nothing."

Qin Nan put away his cell phone and looked down at the vegetables in the cart: "Just buy these and get over this day first."

The two bought vegetables and went home together. Ye Sibei saw the old lady coming back from the other direction carrying vegetables, and wanted to go up to the old lady and ask the old lady where the vegetables were cheaper, but she still lacked the courage.

Qin Nan watched her looking in one direction and knew what she was planning to do, so he took the initiative and said, "What do you want to ask? I'll ask it?"

Hearing this, Ye Sibei gained some courage. She handed the dishes to Qin Nan, clenched her fists, and walked forward: "I'll ask."

As she said that, she came to the old lady, stopped one of them, and stammered: "Auntie, um, um, I want to ask where to buy groceries nearby..."

"Little girl," the old lady listened to her stumbling and took the initiative to answer, "Are you a new resident and would like to know where to buy groceries at a low price?"

After listening to the old lady's words, Ye Sibei nodded quickly. The old lady enthusiastically told her many things, and then told her: "Little girl, stuttering can be cured. I have a little grandson who used to stutter. Later, her mother gave him a gift." Study specifically..."

"Auntie," Qin Nan, who was waiting next to him, saw Ye Sibei's frozen smile. When he heard the old lady's words, he couldn't help laughing and went to explain, "My wife doesn't stutter, she's just nervous when talking to people."

"Huh?" The old lady was stunned for a moment, then felt a little embarrassed, "Oh, I'm sorry."

"It's okay, it's okay," Ye Sibei quickly waved his hand, "Thank you."

The two thanked the old lady and left together.

Qin Nan smiled and glanced at Ye Sibei: "Small stammer?"

Ye Sibei blushed and gritted his teeth: "If I say it a few more times, I won't stutter anymore."

The two bought vegetables and cooked together. When they were lying on the bed together in the evening, Qin Nan whispered to her: "Sibei."

"Um?"

"The house price here is 12,100 square meters, and the 72-square-meter unit has a balcony. The down payment can be 30%. With a down payment of more than 300,000 yuan and a monthly loan of more than 4,000 yuan, we can buy a house."

Ye Sibei was stunned when he heard about buying a house. Qin Nan said in a low voice: "The house in my hometown is sold, plus the money transferred from the previous shop, and I borrow some more, that's enough."

"Are you going to buy a house so soon?"

Ye Sibei hesitated, Qin Nan raised his eyes to look at her in the dark night: "I want to settle down as soon as possible."

Ye Sibei thought about it, leaned on Qin Nan's arm, and looked at the ceiling: "Okay, let's look around first. Let's buy a small one first. After two years, when my salary increases, we will change it." big."

"How big do you want it?"

Qin Nan listened to her talking about the future happily, put his other hand behind his head, turned to look at her, Ye Sibei thought for a while, raised his fingers, and counted them like a child: "I want at least one I want a 1.8-inch bed so that I can sleep sideways now. I want a bathtub, a study room, a treadmill, and a large balcony to grow vegetables. I want at least three bedrooms, two for the children and one for the children. When the guest room…”

Ye Sibei muttered, and finally made up his mind: "Three hundred square meters should be enough."

Hearing this ambition, Qin Nan laughed out loud: "Then how much money do you earn?"

"I think I can earn it."

Ye Sibei looked up at Qin Nan: "Really?"

Qin Nan looked at her. He raised his hand and stroked her hair: "You can do anything."

You have overcome such an embarrassing fate, there is nothing insurmountable.

Ye Sibei smiled, she stretched out her arms to hug him, leaned against his chest, and closed her eyes.

The next day, the two of them went to work at the units they had contacted.

Ye Sibei went to work as an auditor in a local firm, while Qin Nan returned to his old profession.

It had just been a few months, and some people knew who they were, but everyone knew it tacitly. At most, they took a sneak peek and didn't dare to say anything more.

Ye Sibei and Qin Nan were both used to such looks. They would pretend not to know unless others asked.

Until one day, when Ye Sibei was working, she saw that the customer opposite had been secretly looking at her. She raised her head and looked towards the opposite side with a calm expression: "Mr. Chen, do you have any questions?"

Her eyes were open and frank. The person being asked was stunned and turned away in embarrassment: "Oh, it's nothing."

After returning home, she and Qin Nan sat at the small table and talked about these things while eating. Qin Nan listened, nodded, and just said: "Well done."

The next day, Qin Nan went to the store and saw the customer looking at him again.

Without saying a word, he walked up to the customer with a wrench in hand, looked down at the middle-aged man who was a head shorter than himself, and followed Ye Sibei's words and asked: "Boss, you have been looking at me, do you need help?" ?"

His tone was calm, but the man being questioned immediately became nervous and quickly defended: "No, no, I was just looking at the car... Yes, I was looking at the car."

"oh."

Qin Nan nodded and walked back to the car.

Qin Nan is a senior chef, with a monthly salary of 8,000, plus sales commission, working from 9 to 10, with only one day off a week.

Ye Sibei's monthly salary is only 4,000. It is said to be a flexible working system, which means a flexible overtime system. Sometimes he gets off work as early as 1 or 7, and when he is busy, it is possible to work until the early morning.

When Ye Sibei was not on a business trip, Qin Nan would come to the company to wait for her after get off work every day. She would work overtime and he would sleep in the car. When she got off work, he would drive the car and make phone calls to ensure that he was constantly connected to her.

Audit work requires frequent business trips. Ye Sibei was very scared when he went on a business trip for the first time.

The night before the business trip, she almost wanted to quit.

Qin Nan noticed something strange about her and brought her tea: "What's wrong?"

"I'm on a business trip," Ye Sibei looked at the computer, a little depressed, "I'm scared."

Qin Nan sat opposite her. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "I'll take leave to accompany you."

"Can't you keep asking for leave?"

Ye Sibei shook his head.

The two of them were silent. After a long time, Qin Nan finally spoke: "Actually, you told me the day before yesterday that you were going on a business trip, so I felt quite worried. If you want you not to go, you can just resign. I can do that. Feed you.”

As he said that, Qin Nan raised his eyes and looked at Ye Sibei: "But I found that it's not just business trips, I worry about you too much."

Ye Sibei looked up at him, a little confused. Qin Nan thought for a while and admitted: "Actually, from the day I found out about your accident, I have been blaming myself. I have always felt that what I did was not good enough. I didn't do well that day. It’s time to pick you up. I’m always afraid that what happened that day will happen again, so I’m always worried about you.”

"I'm worried about you going on a business trip, worrying about you getting off work late, worrying about you going to a liquor store or KTV. Sometimes, even in broad daylight, if you take a taxi and you are home alone, I will worry that the driver has evil intentions. Someone has evil intentions. Home invasion."

"So I found that if I want to prevent anything from happening to you, I have to keep you by my side like a child. Otherwise, you will always be in danger."

"Qin Nan..."

Ye Sibei had never thought that he had such deep anxiety. She hesitated, stretched out her hand, and held Qin Nan's hand.

"This world is not that dangerous."

"I don't know." Qin Nan shook his head, "Dangers happen every day. What if it's you?"

"But there are more than six billion people on the earth. From a probability perspective, the probability is not high."

When Ye Sibei said these words, she suddenly realized that life itself was a risky matter.

She can't resign all the time. Today she resigns on a business trip, tomorrow she resigns due to sexual harassment, and she resigns after working overtime the day after tomorrow...

She can't keep giving up her opportunities in life because of these bad things. If she keeps giving up like this, she will be giving up the power to make her life better.

Every opportunity and every position she gives up will be rejected by others, and aren't those people afraid of risks

Ye Sibei thought for a while, then lowered her head and analyzed: "I'm going out with the female leader. It's okay. I'll be back in a few days."

Qin Nan hesitated for a long time before he nodded.

The female leader who took Ye Sibei on a business trip was the one who recruited Ye Sibei in the first place.

Her name is Zhang Lin, the only daughter of a local in a provincial capital, and she founded this firm single-handedly.

She and Ye Sibei sat on the plane together, and Ye Sibei sat next to her. Ye Sibei was a little nervous when flying for the first time. Zhang Lin turned to look at her, and in order to ease the atmosphere, asked her: "In the office Are you still used to it?”

Ye Sibei nodded cautiously, Zhang Lin smiled: "First time taking a plane?"

"Yeah." Ye Sibei forced a smile, "I haven't been to too far away before."

“I will go often in the future.”

As Zhang Lin said, she suddenly remembered something. After hesitating for a moment, she reminded Ye Sibei: "There may be a drinking party after we get there. Just remember, don't drink if you don't want to drink."

"Will you offend your customers?" Ye Sibei was worried. Zhang Lin thought about it, "Whether you offend or not depends on your ability?"

Ye Sibei was stunned, and Zhang Lin thought for a while before speaking: "Actually, the same meaning, but different expressions, will have different effects. If someone asks you to drink, and you directly say no, he will not come to the stage. I'm sure you won't be happy. But if he doesn't have any ill intentions, just say it politely, as if it were a joke, but don't hit the smiling person, and leave it to the other person to give him the cold shoulder."

"Then he insists on asking me to drink?" This was the first time Ye Sibei heard someone teach her how to talk and deal with things. Zhang Lin laughed out loud when she heard this, "He has the nerve to insist on you drinking, so you just take one sip and pretend to vomit." , just slipped away quietly."

"Sibei, remember, for a big order, customers will not decide simply because you drink or not. Most companies want to make money, and cost-effectiveness and core service quality are the most important. Of course, there are other bends It’s a roundabout road, but it’s not a good thing to not touch those things if you don’t want to.”

"The most difficult thing in a person's life is not what tests to take or what books to read, but how to be a good person. If you don't know how to learn," Zhang Lin smiled, "Just find someone by your side who makes you feel good." People, observe their lives. Just like children learn from their parents, they learn to behave, learn to speak, and learn how to choose something.”

These are things that no one has ever told her, but Ye Sibei actually knows that they are crucial to life.

"Mr. Zhang..." Ye Sibei pursed his lips, "You... you are really good to me."

"How good is this?" Zhang Lin laughed. She looked at Ye Sibei with admiration in her eyes, "It's not easy for you, I'm just helping you."

"But you can help me," Ye Sibei said seriously, "it's really important to me."

During that business trip, Ye Sibei followed Zhang Lin all the time. She watched Zhang Lin talk and learned from Zhang Lin's behavior.

After coming back, she walked out of the airport and saw Qin Nan waiting for her at the door with a haggard look. She suddenly realized that it was actually that simple.

It's not that scary. There may be risks, but where is there no risk in life

From that day on, Ye Sibei slowly began to live a normal life.

She would not have to wait for Qin Nan to pick her up before going home, nor was she afraid of drinking parties or business trips. One day, she even accepted to go to KTV to sing with her friends.

She would find a lot of ideas on how to live a good life on the Internet. She began to observe herself and start to arrange her own life.

She gets up at five o'clock every morning to prepare for the exam, and Qin Nan also gets up with her to prepare their lunch boxes for the day and clean up.

At the age of twenty-eight, Ye Sibei felt that this was the beginning of her life. She began to understand that the most important thing in the world was balance and moderation, not black and white, good or evil, as she thought when she was young.

During the whole process, Qin Nan was like a quiet guardian. He accompanied her and helped her. He took on all the housework while she was taking exams and working, so that she could be full of courage and move forward.

They would go to the movies together when they had free time. Ye Sibei liked to watch literary films, and Qin Nan liked to watch popcorn movies.

Apart from watching movies, they had no other entertainment activities because Ye Sibei was either working overtime or preparing for exams.

At the age of twenty-nine, Qin Nan saved enough money to buy his first apartment in the community next to theirs. It was an 83-square-meter, two-bedroom apartment. One room served as Ye Sibei's study and the other room served as their bedroom.

At the age of thirty, Ye Sibei was able to independently lead a team to work on projects. During the internal struggle in the office, she insisted on siding with Zhang Lin. In the end, Zhang Lin won and Ye Sibei was promoted. That year, Zhao Chuchu and Ye Nianwen bought a house and got married. Ye Sibei and Qin Nan went back together. Ye Sibei sat at the family and friends table and watched Ye Nianwen and Zhao Chuchu standing together.

Her brother already looked like an adult and looked much calmer.

The next day, Ye Sibei was busy with work, so she left with Qin Nan. Before leaving, Ye Nianwen came to see her off. The two siblings stood by the car and remained silent. After a long time, Ye Sibei spoke: "I gone."

Ye Nianwen nodded and said, "Sister, if you need help with anything, remember to tell me."

"The same to you."

After Ye Sibei finished speaking, he got out of the car. After arriving at the car, Qin Nan glanced at Ye Nianwen in the rearview mirror and couldn't help but smile: "He looks the same as when I was a child and saw my parents going out to work."

When Ye Sibei heard this, she thought for a while, stuck her head out, and called to Ye Nianwen who was walking back: "Nianwen."

Ye Nianwen turned around and Ye Sibei laughed: "Find time to come to the provincial capital to play, don't be bored in Nancheng all the time."

Ye Nianwen was stunned for a moment, then waved happily: "Okay, I'll bring my nephew here another day."

When he was thirty-two years old, Qin Nan opened his own store with a friend. He was responsible for the technology and management, and he contributed part of the money, and the other party provided the other part. It was at the end of this year that Ye Sibei became pregnant.

The arrival of this child made Ye Sibei a little confused. Qin Nan hugged her and said in a very soft voice: "If you don't want to have a baby, don't have it. If you want to have a baby, you give birth and work hard, and I will take care of it."

She thought about it all night, and the next day, she went to see Zhang Lin.

Zhang Lin and she sat in the office. The two were silent for a long time. Zhang Lin's voice was very soft: "You gave birth to this child and took maternity leave. I don't know what will happen when you come back."

Ye Sibei thought for a while and only answered her: "I'll just take a maternity leave. For the rest, what's the difference between me and ordinary male employees?"

As he said that, Ye Sibei raised his eyes to look at her: "I'm not widowed. Most couples will have children. After giving birth to a child, your life will be over, right? A maternity leave won't change anything."

After Zhang Lin spoke, she raised her eyes and looked at Ye Sibei.

She was wearing a dress, sitting upright, and her eyes were steady and calm. She was completely different from the girl who had just arrived in the provincial capital from a small town four years ago.

She has a stable strength, strong and gentle.

No one could have imagined that this was the person who didn't even dare to say "no" back then and could only say sorry.

"Just think about it."

At the age of thirty-three, Ye Sibei had his first daughter, Ye Nuannuan.

The decision to take the surname Ye was made by Qin Nan. In fact, Ye Sibei did not agree with it at first. She felt that if the child took her surname, Qin Nan would have to face too much social pressure. However, Qin Nan held the child and raised it. Looking at her: "What if our daughter one day wants her own children to have her last name?"

Ye Sibei was stunned, and Qin Nan reminded: "When the time comes, her husband will also tell her that social pressure is great and she needs to give in. But I hope Nuannuan can get all the things she deserves, society "It's stressful." Qin Nan lifted the child up, and the baby was dancing in the sun. Qin Nan couldn't help but laugh when he saw the child's smile, "Let her father change it for her."

"I want to give her a good world," Qin Nan turned to look at Ye Sibei, "a fair world that doesn't require her to experience the suffering you have experienced."

Ye Sibei didn't speak. She looked at the child who was smiling at her, wearing beautiful clothes and smiling brightly under the sunshine.

At that moment, she seemed to see a wonderful and bright future.

Maybe she won't be in that era, but she will be a good mother, fight bravely for Nuannuan, push that era, and run towards Ye Nuannuan.

She will not be jealous, nor will she stop lamenting.

She would only tell her daughter:

Ye Nuannuan, mom loves you, come on.
