"Don't be mad at me, okay?"

"Tell me, what do you want me to do to calm you down? Otherwise, just scold me."

The Zhong Qing in front of me, who was speaking softly and coquettishly, and the distant and cold tone on the phone, were like two completely different people.

Shen Mingzhu couldn't stand it any longer. "Otherwise, if you are sick, go get treatment. I'll pay for it."

You really look like a schizophrenic.

Zhong Qing looked at her tenderly with her light brown eyes, "Mingzhu, you love me so much."

“…”

Shen Mingzhu expressionlessly pushed away Zhong Qing's hand that was trying to get close to her, "Talk nicely and don't touch me."

"oh."

Zhong Qing withdrew her hands and placed them on her legs, with her back straight. I don’t know if it’s because the filter is broken, but Zhong Qing no longer has the demeanor of a celebrity. Instead, she looks like a primary school student listening attentively in class, a little silly, and a little cute.

"My family has been keeping a very strict eye on me since I was a child. They even interfere with my friends. Mingzhu, I don't want to cause you trouble, so I didn't admit my relationship with you in front of my family."

This explanation is okay.

"Mingzhu, I really like you and want to be friends with you, but I really don't want my family to notice you. Let's be secret friends in the future, okay?"

“…”

Don't act like you're having a secret relationship.

Although it is difficult to comment, Shen Mingzhu still expressed respect and understanding.

Zhong Qing was not just talking about it, but was serious about being her secret friend. He even circled a few places for their future dates and set a code for each location. When they contacted each other on the phone, he would just say the code.

No, we are just normal friends, is there any need to make it like an affair?

…

After dinner in the evening, Shen Mingzhu took out her tools and prepared to bake some egg cakes for breakfast tomorrow, and also to treat a few classmates who had switched seats to help Pei Ziheng talk last time to some.

Pei Yang washed the dishes and came over to help her.

Shen Mingzhu gave the frozen egg whites to Pei Yang to beat, while she stirred the egg yolk batter.

"Wife, what good thing happened? You seem to be in a good mood."

Pei Yang held the egg white whisk specially made by Shen Mingzhu, and while whisking the egg whites quickly and easily, he looked up at her.

"Zhong Qing came to see me today."

On the night of the engagement party, Shen Mingzhu told Pei Yang about Zhong Qing's abnormal attitude after returning home.

The couple analyzed the situation in bed and concluded that Zhong Qing must be hiding something.

But Zhong Qing didn't come to her to explain in the past few days. Shen Mingzhu pretended not to care, but she felt uncomfortable in her heart.

She was already very depressed by Xiang Ying’s sudden breakup. If another Zhong Qing came along, she would really be tied up.

After hearing the reason why Zhong Qing turned hostile, Pei Yang smiled and said, "So, you two have reconciled?"

"Um."

After responding to this, Pei Yang did not say anything else, and the atmosphere suddenly became silent.

After a while, Shen Mingzhu glanced at the man.

Pei Yang has always been an extrovert and good at communication. To put it bluntly, he is a chatterbox. The lively atmosphere of this family is basically maintained by him.

He didn't say anything, and the house seemed to become a lot quieter.

"Are you worried about something?" Shen Mingzhu asked proactively.

"Um."

Shen Mingzhu immediately came over with interest and patted the man's strong, powerful and hot arm, "If you have anything that makes you unhappy, tell me and make me happy."

Pei Yang snorted, "If I really say it, you might not be happy."

"You speak first."

"The leader of my unit talked to me about work assignments today."

Shen Mingzhu stopped what she was doing and asked, "Didn't you get a good position?"

"The position is not bad, but it is not in this city. The company plans to let me do port management and work at Xicheng Port."

Shen Mingzhu continued with what she was doing, but she felt a little stuffy in her chest.

It’s been less than a month since the wedding, and I heard that my husband was going to work in another place. Even the most tolerant woman would find it hard to understand, right?

Pei Yang didn't say anything either, and an atmosphere of silence spread between the two of them.

After a long sigh, Shen Mingzhu took the initiative to break the silence, her tone a little depressed, "I can't go with you for the time being. I can't just abandon the food factory. Ziheng is still young, and I'm worried that he won't be able to adapt to the sudden change of living environment and school."

Pei Yang sighed, "I understand. I don't want to take you there either. The seaside is damp and cold, and living there for a long time is not good for your health."

Moreover, he didn't want her to move around with him.

Therefore, the couple can only live apart.

When Shen Mingzhu thought of this situation, her nose felt a little sour for some reason. "Then is it possible for you to be transferred back in the future?"

"It's hard to say. I don't think it will be possible in the short term."

Shen Mingzhu was depressed for a while, then asked, "When are you leaving?"

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

Pei Yang suddenly threw away the things in his hand and said, "Why are you leaving? My home is here, my wife and children are here, I'm not going anywhere!"

Shen Mingzhu was a little stunned.

For the first time, she felt that a man looked so handsome when he lost his temper, and she liked him very much.

She felt better for no apparent reason, and said gloomily, "The company has arranged this, what else can you do if you don't go? Are you going to resign?"

"Okay, wife, I'll listen to you and quit my job."

Shen Mingzhu was stunned for two seconds before she realized what was happening, "So, you resigned?"

"Well, I quit my job."

After saying that, he stared at her. Although he was a grown man of about 1.80 meters tall, his face showed the nervousness and caution of a child who had done something wrong.

Seeing that she didn't speak for a long time, Pei Yang reached out and pulled her, saying in a flattering tone, "If you are angry, vent it to me, don't keep it in your heart."

Shen Mingzhu asked him, "Are you really quitting?"

Pei Yang nodded, "Yes, I quit."

Shen Mingzhu suddenly curled her lips and said, "Very good."

Pei Yang was stunned, "You're not angry?"

"Why should I be angry?"

“Without a job, I have no income.”

For men of this generation, work is the spine that straightens their backs, especially for men like Pei Yang who have a strong sense of responsibility and are capable of taking on responsibilities. Earning money to support the family is a mission engraved in their bones.

The decision to resign was not easy, but he did it without hesitation and left no way out.

No, it cannot be said that there is no way out. How could a person like him do things without leaving any way out? And how could he resign in a fit of rage without thinking anything through, like a young fool?

In fact, when he was thinking about resigning, he had imagined countless possibilities.

Find a new job, what kind of job should I look for, so that the income can cover the family expenses and take care of my wife and children.

He has also thought about going into business, but he is still thinking about what industry to start in and where the funds will come from.

But no matter what, he was unwilling to work elsewhere.

He is a man, he cannot and is unwilling to let his wife support the family alone.

"If you don't have income, then you don't have income. I will support you."

Shen Mingzhu said it easily, but she was actually not confident in her heart, after all, the food factory had not seen any money so far.

So far, Pei Yang's income is the bulk of the income, supporting the expenses of a family of three.

But she would rather live with her family than lose her stable income.

She looked at the man's deep and handsome face, and said in a warm but firm voice, "You can find another job if you quit. As long as our family is together, it doesn't matter if life is hard."

Pei Yang's heart felt like it was kneaded into a ball, then stretched out and smoothed out, feeling sore, swollen, and full.

How lucky he is to marry such a considerate and kind wife.
