Chapter 140 I have a job
When the first snow fell in 1975, Xia Wanyang was already four months pregnant.
The second sister-in-law Yuan Hong gave birth to a big fat boy. When Zhang Shiye had nothing to do, he would go over and learn how to take care of the child from his second brother. When Xia's father and mother found out about it, they also sent large and small packages home.
Xia's eldest sister-in-law Jiang Sisi gave birth to a daughter, and Liu Yue gave birth to a son, so Xia's mother had no time to come and see her and could only listen to Xia Wanyang's voice on the phone.
Xia Wanyang suffered from morning sickness for a month, and Zhang Shiye also suffered from it for a month, and his vomiting was even more severe than hers. From the fourth month, her morning sickness was completely gone, but Zhang Shiye did not get any better and even lost nearly ten pounds.
When Zhang Shiye was vomiting again, Xia Wanyang could no longer sit still and insisted that he go to the hospital, otherwise she would go on a hunger strike.
Zhang Shiye had no choice but to ask his third brother to accompany him to the hospital. The doctor checked but could not find the cause of the illness. It was not until Zhang Shijing said that his sister-in-law was pregnant and had morning sickness that his brother started vomiting too. Only then did the doctor understand what was going on.
"You're fine. I've encountered the same situation before. The couple has a very good relationship. You feel sorry for your lover, so you will have a psychological resonance. It will be fine after the child is born. Don't worry."
When the two brothers walked out of the hospital, Zhang Shijing was so disgusted that he wanted to stay eight meters away from him, "Fourth brother, you are not doing this to help others. Your sister-in-law had morning sickness and you didn't give her enough nutrition. You even vomited with her, and made her worry about you in return. You are really amazing!"
Zhang Shiye touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed. "Alright, stop wasting time. Now that you're here, come with me to call my mother-in-law and let her know you're safe!"
The two of them came to the post office and called Xia's house directly. It happened to be Xia's mother who answered the phone, "Hello, Mom, this is Shi Ye, I want to let you know that Yangyang is fine, her morning sickness has eased, and she has a good appetite now!"
Mother Xia said three good words in a row, "Shi Ye, this is it, Mom asked someone to get two jobs for you and Yang Yang, one in the transport team for you, and one in the purchasing department of the machine tool factory for Yang Yang. I was thinking of taking this opportunity to transfer you back, but now Wan Yang is pregnant, you two should discuss and see how to allocate them, jobs are so hard to come by right now, your dad and I waited for two years for these two opportunities."
Zhang Shiye pursed his lips and said, "Okay, Mom, I'll go home and discuss it with Yangyang, and I'll give you a reply tomorrow."
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Shiye was unhappy. Now that Xia Wanyang was pregnant, to be honest, he didn't want to move now. He originally wanted to wait until after the college entrance examination to go back. By then, the child would be older and could be sent to a nursery, but now...
When I got home, Xia Wanyang had already woken up from her nap and was now sitting at the dressing table combing her hair.
Zhang Shiye walked over and hugged the person from behind. He lowered his head and rested his chin on Xia Wanyang's shoulder.
"What are you doing? You're so heavy!"
Xia Wanyang wanted to push the man away, but she couldn't completely break free from Zhang Shiye's restraints.
Zhang Shiye lifted the corner of his clothes, reached in skillfully, and bit the tip of Xia Wanyang's ear, "Baby, don't grow any bigger, I can't hold it anymore!"
Xia Wanyang felt someone holding her chest, her face turned red, and she said shyly, "Zhang Shiye, take your hand away!"
Zhang Shiye smiled in a low voice, "This is mine, can't I touch it?"
Xia Wanyang snorted, "What do you mean by yours? It won't be yours after the baby is born!"
Zhang Shiye rubbed him a few times in retaliation, "The child can just eat milk powder, no one is allowed to touch here except me!"
Xia Wanyang bit her lower lip, her eyes sparkling with desire and pleading, her voice out of tune, "Take it out, it's so annoying!"
Zhang Shiye kissed her little face, rubbed it a few times, and carried her to the kang, "Don't tell your husband if you feel uncomfortable. I'll be gentler after three months and it'll be fine!"
When the belly was exposed, Zhang Shiye was slightly stunned, "Baby, your belly is this big after four months?"
Xia Wanyang stroked her belly and said, "I don't know. My appetite just improved. Who knew it got so big?"
Forty minutes later, the two of them lay contentedly on the bed. Zhang Shiye remembered what Xia's mother had said, and said to Xia Wanyang, "Mom found two jobs for us and wants us to return to Shanghai. What do you think? Do you want to continue to take care of the baby here or go back?"
Xia Wanyang looked at him in surprise, "Of course I'm going back to Shanghai. The hospital there is big and it's convenient for prenatal checkups. What kind of job is that?"
"I want you to go to the transport team and the purchasing department of the machine tool factory. Anyway, both are good jobs with a lot of benefits. Do you want to go?"
Xia Wanyang shook her head, "I don't want to go to work. You've spoiled me for the past two years. I haven't been to the fields for so long. I eat well and sleep well. I don't want to be controlled by others, nor do I want to intrigue with my colleagues. But the opportunity is really rare. You go to work, and ask a few brothers to see who wants to work. I will be a useless little guy at home. After the college entrance examination, I will learn design or something. In the future, you can open a store for me and I will be the boss's wife!"
Zhang Shiye kissed the corner of the little girl's mouth lovingly. To be honest, he actually thought so too, but the job was found by the Xia family after all, and he was afraid that Xia's father and mother would think too much if he said it out loud.
"Okay, let's go ask the eldest brother, the second brother, and the third brother later and tell them how much they should be paid for the work. They all have savings, and we can't let them suffer a loss!"
Xia Wanyang waved her hand indifferently, "Your brother is my brother. Why should we separate family members so clearly? Besides, they have to keep some money when they go to Shanghai. Let's talk about it later!"
In the evening, the two returned to Zhang's house for dinner. After dinner, they called everyone together. Zhang Shiye told them about this matter. "Big brother, second brother, third brother, you and your families should discuss it. I want to go to the purchasing department. There is one transportation team left to learn how to drive. Who wants to go with us? When we return to Shanghai, we will take the time to inquire about the positions and take them up if there is a chance!"
The brothers looked at each other, and Zhang Heping and Aunt Qiao smiled with relief.
Zhang Shifeng, the eldest brother, spoke first, "Fourth brother, fourth sister-in-law, your eldest sister-in-law and I will not go. We are the eldest brothers, and we should live with our parents and take care of them in their old age!"
Zhang Heping said quickly: "Your mother and I can still work for at least 20 years. Don't worry about us. There's no need. We are not at the point where we can't walk or crawl anymore!"
Zhang Shijing then said, "He Hua and I won't go either. I can't drive either. I'm used to living in the countryside and can't stand the twists and turns of the big city. Wait a few years until you're all settled, and then He Hua and I will talk!"
Aunt Qiao made the final decision, "Let the second son go to the transport team. He learned to drive in the army, and this skill is useless in the countryside. He won't even get a tractor. It's just right for him to go to the transport team. Second son, jobs in the city are paid for. How much should we pay your fourth brother's wife? We can't take advantage of them, understand?"
Xia Wanyang: "No need, mother. I don't know how the work will be arranged now. It will cost money to buy things there. There is no rush for money!"
Zhang Shiyu looked at Zhang Shiye and his wife gratefully, "Old Four, Second Brother will remember this favor!"
Zhang Shiye waved his hands nonchalantly, "Alright, stop being so cheesy. My wife is in poor health, let's go home!"
Early the next morning, Xia Wanyang and Zhang Shiye called their mother back and told her the family's decision, "Mom, I won't live at home. Find someone to help me clean up my first house. We'll live there, along with my second brother and his family!"
Mother Xia thought, since everyone has returned to Shanghai, the worst that can happen is that she just has to make more trips back and forth to take good care of her daughter.
