"He's crying again—"
Jiang Erni was half asleep and heard her son's evil voice entering her head again. As she had undergone two brain surgeries in succession, Jiang Erni just wanted to have a good sleep at the moment. Her eyelids seemed to be glued shut and she couldn't open them at all.
"Okay, okay, go to sleep slowly."
Mo Xiangdong, who was standing by, was also awakened from his sleep. Seeing the person beside him so tired that he couldn't even lift a finger, he quickly comforted him with a few words, then quickly got up, rubbed his face a few times to make himself more awake, then got out of bed, picked up the crying boy in the crib, walked towards the living room, and carefully closed the bedroom door to prevent his son's crying from disturbing his wife.
When Jiang Erni and Mo Xiangdong got married, Jiang Erni was already 31 years old. At that time, she was already the deputy director of the Department of Neurosurgery. In addition to the connections left to her by Mr. Bai, she was able to sit in this position at this age because of her own strength and hard work.
In this era, there are very few people who are still unmarried at this age. Jiang Erni has devoted almost all of her experience to work. She wants to prove that women can also create a world of their own. In fact, she has done it. It took her nearly ten years to become a well-known expert in this field. To this end, it is almost common for her to study day and night and work overtime to research medical records.
It's not that Jiang Erni doesn't want to get married, but her mother and father's marriage gave her too much fear, not in terms of emotions, but in terms of fertility. Jiang Erni couldn't imagine that if she gave birth to a daughter in the future, she would be forced to give birth to a son, or if she gave birth to a daughter, she would be disliked by her husband's family. She felt that if she couldn't give her child all her love, it would be better not to have a child.
Being with Mo Xiangdong was purely an accident.
Jiang Erni vaguely knew that Mo Xiangdong liked her. Once, because of an emergency operation, she stayed up all night and returned home early the next morning. She did not return to her own home, but to Grandpa Bai's home, because she encountered several small problems during the operation and wanted to ask Grandpa Bai for advice.
Because she was too tired, she casually lay down on the sofa in the main room and took a nap. In a daze, she felt as if someone was approaching. When she opened her eyes, she saw Mo Xiangdong's face less than ten centimeters away from her. The other party did not seem to expect that she would suddenly open her eyes. His face was stiff, and he raised the blanket in his hand, saying that he was worried that she would catch a cold and wanted to cover her with the quilt.
Jiang Erni seemed to believe what he said, took the blanket he handed over, closed her eyes, and fell into a deep sleep again. As to whether it was real sleep or fake sleep, only Jiang Erni knew it in her heart. She felt that the person standing next to her had been looking at her for a long time, and she could no longer pretend, so the person turned around and left.
From that day on, Jiang Erni couldn't help but start observing Mo Xiangdong, the boy whom she treated as her younger brother. He should not be a teenager. She was not really stupid. She quickly saw through Mo Xiangdong's feelings for her.
But there was a full five-year age difference between them, and Jiang Erni had never thought about any possibility for her and Mo Xiangdong. She felt that Mo Xiangdong only liked her temporarily, and when he grew up and met more young and beautiful girls, he would no longer like an "old woman" like her who was older than him and had a bad temper. At the same time, Jiang Erni gradually distanced herself from Mo Xiangdong. She ignored the slight reluctance in her heart and made the decision that she thought was right.
Mo Xiangdong seemed unaware of Jiang Erni's estrangement. Knowing that Jiang Erni often forgot to eat because of work, Mo Xiangdong would still bring her three meals a day to the hospital. Over time, everyone in the hospital knew that the most beautiful girl in their hospital who had never married had a boyfriend. Whenever Mo Xiangdong showed up, he would make faces at Jiang Erni and tease her.
Jiang Erni wanted to ask him not to do that several times, but was defeated by Mo Xiangdong's aggrieved look and finally had to let it go.
Unfortunately, she didn't expect that the man who was so cold and difficult to approach in the past, was actually a very aggressive person in private. He started by delivering three meals a day to her, and then entered and exited her house on his own, cared about her food and clothing, and helped her tidy up her nest which she was too lazy to clean due to her busy work. Jiang Erni sometimes wondered if the work in the procuratorate was so easy that the other party had so much time to do these things.
Gradually, Jiang Erni became more and more accustomed to Mo Xiangdong's presence. However, she never agreed to the relationship, and this dragged on until she was 29 years old.
The breakthrough in the relationship between the two came from Jiang Erni's drunkenness.
That day was the day when Jiang Erni was officially appointed as the deputy director of neurosurgery. The first thing she thought of was to share this joy with Mo Xiangdong. Maybe it was because the feeling of being recognized was too good, Jiang Erni couldn't control herself and drank too much. Because of her restraint in the past, she never knew that she would go crazy after getting drunk. When she woke up with a splitting headache the next morning, she saw herself and Mo Xiangdong lying on the same bed, and she was wrapped around Mo Xiangdong like a boneless snake.
Her memory came back to her, and she remembered that she was drunk and crazy last night, crying and making a fuss. She wanted to take off her clothes because she felt hot, but when Mo Xiangdong stopped her, she tore Mo Xiangdong's T-shirt and asked Mo Xiangdong for a kiss and a hug.
Jiang Erni had no idea that she would be like this after getting drunk. She wished she could beat her yesterday self to death with a stick.
Fortunately, Mo Xiangdong is a gentleman. Nothing happened between them yesterday. They just slept in the same bed. Jiang Erni thought that this matter might just pass. But when Mo Xiangdong woke up, he said with a stern face that his innocence was tarnished by her and his first kiss was taken away by her, and asked her to be responsible for him. This statement made Jiang Erni laugh and cry.
Seeing a hint of expectation beneath Mo Xiangdong's serious expression, Jiang Erni somehow agreed to his request to date him.
She thought, perhaps her heart had already been captured by him, and this incident only gave her a legitimate reason to convince herself to be with a man who was five years younger than her.
The days after they officially started dating were no different from before. Jiang Erni had a bad temper and would sometimes lose her temper with Mo Xiangdong over trivial matters. Mo Xiangdong was relatively calm and would not argue with her when she got angry. Instead, he would wait for her to calm down before discussing with her whether the matter was right or wrong.
Jiang Erni was aware of her own shortcomings and would reflect on her mistakes every time she calmed down. And because she felt guilty, she agreed to Mo Xiangdong's various requests by ceding land and paying compensation. Time and again, she confusedly sent herself into the mouth of the dormant big bad wolf and agreed to his request to marry her.
When she came out of the Civil Affairs Bureau after getting her marriage certificate, Jiang Erni vaguely realized that she seemed to have been fooled by Mo Xiangdong, a wolf in sheep's clothing.
Jiang Erni and Mo Xiangdong's wedding house is a welfare house allocated by Mo Xiangdong's unit. It is not large, only about 60 square meters, but it is more than enough for a small family.
Mo Xiangdong's mother had always lived in Qingshan Village. She had gotten used to Qingshan Village, but she felt uncomfortable everywhere after coming to the capital. Although Jiang Erni had no objection to living with her mother-in-law, Yao Fang left in a hurry after only one week. The couple gave the old woman a large sum of living expenses every month, and every once in a while they would bring her to the capital to live for a few days and have a physical examination.
Although the mother-in-law was gone, a third party soon came into this small family. Jiang Erni became pregnant.
After ten months of pregnancy, a son was born, and the family of two successfully upgraded to a family of three.
It is inevitable that a newborn baby will cry, so the scene just now happened.
Jiang Erni and Mo Xiangdong don't trust outsiders very much, and at the same time they don't have the heart to let the elderly who have worked hard all their lives to help them take care of the child. This child was almost brought up by the two new parents with many bumps and bruises. After Jiang Erni was promoted to deputy director, she generally didn't need to go to surgery in person. Her work became much easier than before, and she was able to spare extra time to take care of the child. The same was true for Mo Xiangdong.
Mo Xiangdong carried his crying son to the living room, skillfully untied the diaper ring on his butt, found out the reason why he had wet his pants, and put the diaper back on. Mo Xiangdong held his son in one hand to coax him while walking to the kitchen, skillfully opened the milk powder can and started to make milk powder. After testing the temperature of the milk on the back of his hand, Mo Xiangdong stuffed the bottle into the mouth of his son who was crying pitifully.
This time it was okay. With the delicious milk powder, the little kid finally stopped crying. His little mouth moved and he was so happy eating.
Mo Xiangdong is no longer the small clerk he used to be. After a few years, he has been promoted to the position of director with his own strength. The things he has to deal with and the people he has to deal with every day are not easy. Even when feeding his son, his mind is still working fast, thinking about the matters he has to deal with tomorrow.
Mo Xiangdong is a person who has strict plans for speaking and working. He will try his best to leave more time for his family while completing his work excellently. Therefore, how to work efficiently is a compulsory knowledge.
After feeding his son, Mo Xiangdong paced back and forth in the living room, coaxed the child to sleep, tiptoed back to the bedroom, put the child in the cradle and carefully covered him with a small quilt.
After doing all these things, Mo Xiangdong was tired, so he threw back the quilt and lay down on the bed.
"Um--"
As if sensing the heat source nearby, Jiang Erni clung to Mo Xiangdong, with her hands and feet domineeringly wrapped around his waist. Looking at his wife sleeping soundly, Mo Xiangdong smiled, reached out to hold her tighter, kissed her forehead, and fell into a deep sleep.
The author has something to say: Yesterday there were fifty-nine messages, and the ratio of those supporting no changes and those supporting changes was basically the same. In this case, the originally written chapters will not be changed. Today's second update will have another version of the ending. The main text will be written in the author's words. It only takes one Jinjiang coin, and you can choose to purchase it. If you want to see Pang Pang and Jiang Wenqing together, you can buy the next chapter. If you like the original ending, you can skip it.
This is the best solution I can think of.
