Hearing Grandma Xu's voice, Xu Daya lost all interest in going out. She had assumed that Grandpa Xu and Grandma Xu wouldn't be coming back to live with her.
After all, it had been more than a month since they suddenly returned to their hometown. She tentatively moved into Grandpa Xu's room, and Xu Weimin didn't say anything when he found out.
"Where the hell are you all?! Didn't you hear me knocking?! Come out and open the door!"
Grandma Xu's voice pulled Xu Daya back to reality, and she hurriedly ran to open the door for them.
When Grandma Xu saw Xu Daya come to open the door, her first action wasn't to come in, but to reach out and pinch her hard a few times.
He muttered under his breath, "You brat, you haven't come out to open the door for so long, are you looking for a beating?!"
Xu Daya was in great pain from being choked, but she dared not say a word or struggle. Because if she resisted, Grandma Xu would hit her even harder; if she didn't resist, Grandma Xu would let her go after she had vented her anger.
Sure enough, after pinching her a few times, Grandma Xu felt her anger subside, pushed her aside, and went inside.
Upon entering, Grandma Xu saw an unfamiliar person washing clothes. She knew that this was probably her beloved grandson's new wife.
Seeing her working obediently, I was fairly satisfied. Although she wasn't particularly beautiful, as long as she could get the job done, that was enough.
Thinking of this, Grandma Xu suddenly realized that Da Bao and Xiao Bao didn't seem to be home, and asked Xu Daya, "Where are Da Bao and Xiao Bao? Why can't I see them?"
"Mom took Da Bao and Xiao Bao out."
"Taking them out in this heat, aren't you worried about them getting too hot? Really..."
When Grandma Xu heard that Lin Chunyan had taken them out, she only muttered a few words under her breath. She didn't get angry, though.
When Chen Ermei saw Grandma Xu pinching Xu Daya, her scalp tingled. Grandma Xu's appearance reminded her of the times her husband had beaten her in her past life.
This was the first time Chen Ermei had met Grandma Xu and the others, and she could only pray in her heart that they wouldn't live with her. After all, she hadn't seen them since she married into the family.
Could it be that she lives with them?
......
The next morning
Xu Junhui looked at Huang Qinqin, who was still lying in bed and unwilling to get up, and felt somewhat helpless. He had called her many times, but every time she woke up, she would turn over and fall asleep again.
If he could, Xu Junhui wouldn't want to wake her, but she had to go to work today. Having no other choice, Xu Junhui had to change her clothes himself.
After helping Huang Qinqin change her clothes, she was still fast asleep. Xu Junhui thought for a moment, then left the room.
Seeing that only Xu Junhui had come out, Zhang Yumei asked knowingly, "Is Qinqin still asleep?"
Xu Junhui nodded: "I'll go out and wash a towel now, then go in and see if washing her face will wake her up."
If that doesn't work, then it'll be troublesome. It seems Huang Qinqin's work will have to be temporarily covered by someone else.
Fortunately, Huang Qinqin woke up while Xu Junhui was wiping her face.
Seeing that she had finally woken up, Xu Junhui said with a sigh of relief, "Wife, if you hadn't woken up, I was planning to carry you to work."
"Is it really that serious? Why didn't you wake me up?"
Huang Qinqin knew she had been waking up later lately, but that was only because Xu Junhui hadn't woken her up. If someone had woken her up, she definitely would have gotten up earlier.
Seeing his wife questioning him about not waking her up, Xu Junhui wanted to just retort. Was it him who didn't wake her? Was it Huang Qinqin who slept like a log...?
However, Xu Junhui remained rational. If he said those words, not only Huang Qinqin, but even Zhang Yumei would condemn him.
So he took the blame and resigned himself to his fate, saying, "It's my fault. I'll remember to wake you up from now on."
Huang Qinqin was satisfied and said happily, "Okay, I'll forgive you this time. It's getting late, let's go out for breakfast!"
Okay, okay, as long as Huang Qinqin is happy, that's all that matters.
As Huang Qinqin sat on the back of the bicycle, she suddenly asked, "Junhui, what if I really can't get up in the morning?"
Huang Qinqin recalled the scene from this morning. Although she was still a little groggy, she actually remembered that Xu Junhui had called her several times.
But she really couldn't get up, and since she became pregnant, she sometimes slept from lunch until Xu Junhui and the others got off work and went home in the afternoon.
She felt like she was the reincarnation of a sleeping goddess; if she could, she could sleep all day long.
It's even worse in the morning; I have absolutely no chance of getting out of bed.
Xu Junhui wasn't too worried, because he didn't care whether Huang Qinqin had a job or not. As long as she was happy, that was enough; he could support the family even if she didn't work.
"Don't worry, you succeeded today, didn't you? Besides, I'm here for you. I'll just wake you up every morning."
Huang Qinqin leaned against Xu Junhui's back, clutching his clothes with both hands, and asked hesitantly, "Should I sell my job? But I don't want to stay at home every day; it gets a bit boring after a while..."
"Let's not think about it too much for now, let's just let things take their course. You go for a few days first and see if you can adapt. If you can, then we'll continue working."
"If you're unhappy or can't adapt, then sell your job. Okay? It's okay, believe me, I can support my family. Besides, your monthly royalties are quite good."
"That's because my monthly royalties are higher than my two older brothers' salaries. They only make eighteen yuan a month, while my highest monthly royalties were twenty-seven yuan!"
The saying "blinded by a leaf" perfectly describes Huang Qinqin; she's completely forgotten she used to receive royalties. Moreover, Xu Junhui's point is valid: whether she has a job or not doesn't really matter much.
The most important thing is to be happy. What's that saying again?
First and foremost, you need to be happy and joyful; everything else is secondary.
Having figured things out, Huang Qinqin leaned against Xu Junhui's back, swinging her legs back and forth while humming a song.
......
When Huang Qinqin arrived at the department store, almost everyone else had already arrived. Huang Qinqin originally intended to go over to Huang Jiancai and the others.
However, a staff member stopped her and asked, "Are you a sales clerk or part of the support staff?"
"I am a sales clerk."
"Then come over here. The sales staff and the logistics team have different work arrangements, so they won't be meeting together."
"Okay, I understand. Thank you."
Huang Qinqin hadn't expected they'd have to separate, but where were Huang Jianmin and Huang Guiming?
Aren't they sales clerks too? Why haven't I seen them yet?
Meanwhile, Huang Jianmin, in a corner where no one paid attention, was on the verge of breaking...
