Chapter 454: Give up the child and realize self-worth
He took off his wet coat and held Song Zhiyuan in his arms. The familiar scent of rose water lingered in his nostrils, instantly driving away all his fatigue.
"We were originally scheduled to shoot a night scene tonight, but a rain disrupted all plans.
It's only a two-hour drive, I drove back to have dinner with you, has Yuanyuan eaten yet?" Chen Jingmo looked at his little wife in his arms.
"It's just dinner. I drove back and have to go back tomorrow. It must be so tiring." In addition to being touched, Song Zhiyuan felt more sorry for his hard work in traveling back and forth.
Zhao Manman was replaced, and now the new female lead has rejoined the crew. The previous scenes have to be filmed again, and Shen Jingmo's work schedule is particularly tight.
"I don't feel tired anymore when I see Yuanyuan." Chen Jingmo rubbed Song Zhiyuan's freshly washed hair.
"I haven't eaten yet, but I only cooked some noodles, I'm afraid it won't be enough for dinner for the two of us." Song Zhiyuan took only one bite after cooking when he heard a noise outside.
"My luck is not bad. I finally caught up after rushing so hard. My Yuanyuan hasn't had dinner yet." Shen Jingmo walked into the kitchen lovingly, rummaged through the refrigerator briefly, and looked at Song Zhiyuan standing at the kitchen door. "How about scallion oil noodles and a simple sweet and sour poached egg?"
Shen Jingmo drove all the way and had to come back to cook dinner. It was already very hard. How could she have so many requests? "Okay, do you need any help?"
"Yuanyuan, please help me pick the onions." Chen Jingmo handed Song Zhiyuan a handful of onions.
The rain continued outside, but the kitchen was filled with fog, and the aroma of scallion-flavored poached eggs blended together.
The food was quickly served, and Song Zhiyuan was in charge of bringing it to the table, while Shen Jingmo made two glasses of freshly squeezed orange juice in the kitchen.
The two of them watched TV while eating dinner.
Not long after finishing the meal, Song Zhiyuan slowly moved into Chen Jingmo's arms.
"Yuanyuan, are you worried about something?" Chen Jingmo looked down at his wife in his arms, who was not in a very good mood, and played with her hair with his fingers from time to time.
"The deputy minister of our ministry is retiring."
Shen Jingmo didn't interrupt, but listened quietly to Song Zhiyuan. "The deputy minister asked me to go to his office today. He wants me to participate in the deputy minister election."
The work of civil servants is different from theirs. Many of them face difficulties in promotion, and even after retirement, it is difficult to make further progress.
"Yuanyuan is hesitating whether to join the competition." Chen Jingmo immediately asked what was the crux of Song Zhiyuan's dilemma.
Song Zhiyuan nodded.
"Yuanyuan, just do whatever you want to do. Not only will I support you, I will also be your eternal backer." Shen Jingmo could see that Song Zhiyuan wanted to compete.
Shen Jingmo then tentatively asked, "Yuanyuan, is it me you're worried about?"
Song Zhiyuan sat up from the man's arms. "I do have some thoughts. If I take the position of deputy minister, I can get more resources and opportunities. But if I compete for this position, I may have less time. Then, we may not have time to have children."
The position of deputy minister is not the same as that of director, and it is not so easy to decide. It requires comprehensive consideration and layer-by-layer inspection by higher-level departments, and the inspection time may be several months or even as long as half a year. This means that she will be buried in this matter for half a year.
When you sit in that position, your responsibilities will be relatively heavier.
Before his grandfather mentioned the matter of children, Song Zhiyuan had never thought about this issue.
But she thought about it seriously these days, they are indeed at the age to have children, even if she doesn't have this idea, Mr. Shen Jingmo is not without it.
Since they got married, neither of them has mentioned anything about having children.
He held Song Zhiyuan's hand tightly in his palm, "Yuanyuan, children are just the spice of our lives. What I said in front of grandpa before was the truth. I haven't enjoyed enough of our world of two people.
I believe that even without children, the relationship between Yuanyuan and I will not deteriorate. We can consider it a few years later. Besides, both Yuanyuan and I are in the rising career stage. If I have to give up one thing, I choose to give up the child and realize our self-worth.
Even if raising a child doesn't necessarily mean they can take care of us in our old age, maybe they will do the same as me and send their own father directly to jail. I don't want my life and Yuanyuan's life to be disturbed.
Since this is something Yuanyuan likes, go ahead boldly. I will never hold you back."
Song Zhiyuan, who was still struggling and hesitating, suddenly became enlightened because of Shen Jingmo's words.
She was just considering this matter. She didn't have much desire for a child and even felt that she might not be able to bear the responsibility.
She has two jobs, and each job is so busy that she is not seen for ten days or half a month. She can spend very little time with her children, but if she is asked to give up her job, she is reluctant.
Every job she works hard for is like a child.
A woman's reproductive rights belong to her, but marriage is between the two of them. It would be unfair to Shen Jingmo if she deprived them of their rights without authorization.
Shen Jingmo was so determined, and his thoughts were exactly the same as hers, which made her feel relieved.
"Jing Mo, I have done so many good things to let me meet you." Song Zhiyuan held his face, stood up and kissed him on the forehead.
Shen Jingmo muttered to himself in a voice that only he could hear, "I am no different."
Although it was a very cold month in the first lunar month, Villa No. 76 in Taoyuan was warm that night.
After traveling for two hours in the rain, Shen Jingmo didn't feel tired at all when he left at four in the morning the next day.
Return to the crew in high spirits.
The rain stopped in the early morning. If it hadn't stopped, Shen Jingmo could have stayed at home for a while longer. After the rain stopped, he would have had to rush to catch up on the progress this morning.
Director Gu likes to use real natural light for shooting, and he will not use special effects to complete every frame unless it is absolutely necessary.
The young assistant stayed at the crew hotel last night and prepared breakfast and coffee before Shen Jingmo came over.
The assistant followed Shen Jingmo all the way and teased him, "Brother, you look more energetic today than yesterday. It seems that the conditions of this hotel are really poor."
Even though he got up early, Shen Jingmo's face was still rosy.
Chen Jingmo glanced at the assistant and said, "You just keep talking nonsense. Has the crew started yet?"
"It rained all night yesterday, so the staff couldn't set up. They're still setting up the set. It should be just in time for me to change my clothes," the assistant said as he brought over the coffee. "This is the latte that Brother Chen specifically requested. There's also low-fat bread and salad."
For this drama he needed to keep in shape and eat relatively low-fat and light food.
Shen Jingmo took it and went into the dressing room.
At the same time, when Song Zhiyuan woke up, Shen Jingmo was no longer there.
She struggled to get up with sore body, and took a hot bath to relieve some of the pain. When she went downstairs, Shen Jingmo had already prepared breakfast for her, and she only needed to heat it up before eating.
