Xu Xiaoyao was dumbfounded: "So fast?"
Old Mrs. Xu nodded: "Giving birth quickly and not suffering as much is a good thing."
The two didn't know that Xu Jiajia was having a birthday today, so they didn't prepare any gifts.
So the two of them simply gave each of them a red envelope.
Xu Xiaoyao was in better condition and was given ten yuan, while He Hua was given five yuan.
Xu Jiajia knew that she didn't want it very much. Xu Xiaoyao frowned and looked unhappy: "Jiajia, you don't consider us good sisters, right?"
Xu Xiaoyao was already angry, so how could Xu Jiajia refuse to accept it? She put the red envelope under her pillow: "Of course we are good sisters. You two haven't eaten yet, so go back early."
It wasn't Xu Jiajia who wanted to drive them away.
The rented house is quite far from the hospital.
The two of them were going to walk back to their rented house.
It's not safe to go back too late.
…
On the way home.
Xu Xiaoyao felt that she needed a bicycle, but it was difficult to get a ticket: "Hehua, how much money do you have?"
Three months ago, the upgrade exam.
Xu Xiaoyao, Hehua and Xu Jianguo all passed the second-level fitter qualification exam.
The salary increased from 40 yuan to 45 yuan.
Hehua used to send ten yuan back home every month.
When Xu Jiajia was five months pregnant, the money she sent home decreased from ten yuan per month to five yuan.
Forty-five.
Give half to Xu Jiajia.
It’s twenty-two dollars and fifty cents.
I sent five dollars home, leaving me with seventeen dollars and a half.
After deducting what she spends, she can still save ten dollars a month.
"There's still fifty left, not counting the money from selling the yams."
Xu Xiaoyao stroked her chin. A bicycle costs at least 120 yuan, and a good brand one would cost around 150 to 180 yuan. Even if two people bought it together, they couldn't afford it for 50 yuan.
"It's okay, I just asked, I have more than you."
Hehua didn't envy Xu Xiaoyao at all. She thought back to when she was in her hometown, she couldn't get a penny all year round. Now she had a huge sum of more than 100 yuan.
All of this was given to her by her good sister Xu Jiajia.
"Including the yam sellers, I made over a hundred, and I'm very satisfied."
Xu Xiaoyao held Hehua's arm and smiled brightly: "Nowadays, I really have hope."
Lotus nodded: "By the way, how are you getting along with Captain Zhang?"
Xu Xiaoyao curled her lips, a hint of sarcasm flashing across her eyes. "When we first met, he was considerate and gentle to me. But after spending more time together, I realized he looked down on women. He said we women were only useful for reproduction. I was so angry that I had a fight with him on the spot."
That's all.
He also lied to Mrs. Zhang, saying it was her problem.
damn it.
Should we keep such a person to celebrate the New Year without any separation?
Lotus looked stunned: "He seemed to be very attentive to you, but I didn't expect him to be such a person. It's really eye-opening."
Xu Xiaoyao has already let go of the fact that fate is something you can only encounter by chance. "I'm only nineteen, I'm not in a hurry."
In my hometown, people get married at the age of 18, but in the city it’s later.
Lotus: "Jia Jia said that when looking for a partner, you should look for someone who shares the same values as you. Only then can you be happy."
…
The day after Xu Jiajia gave birth, Han Lin came with Lele. She brought a lot of things and two sets of clothes for the two children.
She made this dress herself.
It's a red cotton-padded jacket.
It contains first-grade cotton.
Mrs. Xu touched the soft clothes and said, "Thank you for your hard work!"
Han Lin likes Xu Jiajia's family very much. The old lady is reasonable, Xu Jianguo is honest, and Xu Jiajia is smart and capable.
The whole family is very capable and has a clear understanding of life.
Lele looked at the two little kids on the bed, took out two White Rabbit candies from his pocket, and said softly, "Brother, I have some candies. Open your mouths, and I'll feed you some candies."
Xu Jiajia smiled gently: "My brother is still young and can't eat sweets. He will be able to eat sweets when he grows up a little bit."
Lele thought for a moment and then said, "Then I'll save the candies and give them to my brother when he's old enough to eat them."
Old Mrs. Xu was so happy looking at his cute appearance that she pinched Lele's round cheeks gently and said, "Sugar will melt if left for too long. It can't be kept for too long."
Lele looked disappointed. This was not going to work. Thinking of the New Year's money in the jar, he felt that it was okay again: "When my two younger brothers grow up, I will use the New Year's money to buy them candy."
Old Mrs. Xu laughed out loud: "How sensible."
Lele's little face showed a shy smile, his eyes full of joy. Grandpa praised him! He was so happy that he wanted to spin in circles!
Han Lin had to cook when she got home, so she sat for a while and then left.
The director got the news from somewhere and learned that Xu Jiajia had given birth, so he came to the hospital to see her with gifts.
Seeing that she was in good spirits, he tutted his tongue a few times and said, "As expected of you, giving birth to a son is like laying an egg, and it's a double yolk egg."
Xu Jiajia's mouth twitched uncontrollably: "Do you know how to speak? Don't think I won't scold you just because you're the boss!"
The director placed the gift on the table, crossed his arms, and looked at Xu Jiajia intently. "Why are you afraid? It's not like I haven't scolded you before! I see you're in good spirits. After the confinement period, can you go back to work?"
Although Xu Jiajia has taken a year's leave, the director still hopes that she can return to the unit as soon as possible.
Xu Jiajia looked at the director in disbelief: "Are you a devil? I just gave birth to a child, and you want me to go back to work?"
The director didn't think he was wrong at all: "I see that you have recovered well. Since you don't get paid at home, you might as well go to work! Not only does it pay, but it also has benefits."
Old Mrs. Xu didn't like to hear this. She said proudly, "Jia Jia can also make money at home. She submitted several manuscripts and earned several hundred yuan in royalties. It's not less than the salary at the Public Security Bureau, and she has more free time."
That short story earned more than a hundred yuan, and Jia Jia later wrote two more stories and earned more than two hundred yuan.
From the time I got pregnant to the time I gave birth, I earned more than three hundred yuan from writing articles.
The director was deeply shocked: "Xu Jiajia's manuscript was published in the newspaper?"
Old Mrs. Xu nodded. "Yes, she has been there several times! My granddaughter is amazing! Even without this job at the Public Security Bureau, she can still make money and have more free time."
After getting the confirmation, the director's heart turned cold. Xu Jiajia was no longer planning to go to the Public Security Bureau to work: "Xu Jiajia, will you still come to work at the Public Security Bureau in a year?"
Xu Jiajia shook her head: "No, I have two children at home, and my grandma can't take care of them."
Director: “…”
He lost a capable subordinate.
The director returned to the Public Security Bureau and quickly called his superior to tell him about Xu Jiajia's plan.
The boss thought Xu Jiajia really wanted this job, but only now did he realize that Xu Jiajia really didn't want this job. He was silent for a few seconds before speaking: "If she doesn't want to, forget it. We can't force her to do something she doesn't like."
The director was really willing to give up such a good talent: "Xu Jiajia is very suitable for this line of work. She is very good at solving cases and her reasoning is also very powerful."
No matter how powerful you are, if you can't keep him, what's the point: "Can you keep him? If you can, I'll credit you with this achievement!"
