"Hmm," Nanqiao carefully handed Wu Wei the single
"Okay, will Yanchuan pick you up?"
"Yes, he will come at noon."
"Okay, then why don't you call your family from here, I have something to do outside."
"Okay, then Brother Wu Wei, you go ahead and do your work."
Nanqiao sent Wu Wei away and sat at his desk to call home. Nanqiao took the phone, thought about it and called his mother. The call was quickly connected.
"Hello, who is this?" A gentle but distant voice sounded on the other end of the phone.
"Mother"
"Hey, my baby." When Nan's mother heard that it was her baby daughter calling, her voice instantly became soft and moving.
"Mom, I want to ask when you will be free. I have asked for leave and want to go home for the New Year."
"Well...it will be easier around the 15th day of the twelfth lunar month. If Qiao Qiao is not too busy at work, she can come back earlier."
"Then I'll buy a ticket for around the 10th day of the first lunar month. I'll call you when I've set a time."
"Okay, if you can't buy a ticket, call home and your dad and I'll find a way."
"Okay, Mom." Nanqiao paused after saying that, wondering whether to tell her mother about the pregnancy after returning home, or to tell her now. After hesitating for a while, Nanqiao still didn't say it. She would return to Shanghai in a few days, and telling her now would make them worry for a few more days. It would be better to wait until she returned to tell her mother about it.
"Qiaoqiao, there's a patient here at my mom's place. Please call her when you have time."
"Okay, mom, you go ahead and do your work," Nanqiao said.
After hanging up the phone, Nanqiao returned to her office and packed up her things. She usually put the things she used frequently in the space. Now she looked left and right and saw only two dictionaries, a cushion, and a water cup. She put everything back into the space with a wave of her hand.
After reading a book on the sofa in the office for a while, Nanqiao heard a knock on the door. He closed the book, got up and opened the door.
"Hey, why are you here today?" Nanqiao was a little surprised to see that the person coming was Sheng Yanchuan. He usually waited for him at the door, but this was his first time coming here.
"I was afraid you might want to take something, so I came up to check. Have you told Brother Zheng and the others about the work?" Sheng Yanchuan asked as he helped Nanqiao sit back on the sofa.
"I've said that I don't want to work in the office anymore. I'll come when foreign investors come. But the salary will be much lower."
"It's okay, our family doesn't need those kids, I can support you."
Nanqiao smiled sweetly upon hearing this, "Then I will rely on Brother Chuan to support me from now on."
"You can support yourself," Minister Zheng's voice came from the door.
"Yanchuan is here." Minister Zheng heard Nanqiao's words as soon as he arrived at the door and teased, "Have you entered?"
"Brother Zheng"
"Well, your job gives you 30 yuan a month."
"So many? There shouldn't be that many documents to translate, why would they give me 30 a month?" Nanqiao didn't expect the final result to be like this
"We don't have many documents to translate here, but we are short of translation these two times. Our town has decided to publish an English column to let more people know about this. You need to provide an article every two weeks, just a simple pronunciation tutorial or something like that. Whether the manuscript can be passed depends on you and the editor of the newspaper."
"That's no problem," Nanqiao agreed after thinking about it. It was rare for a newspaper to have an English article nowadays. The length would definitely not be very long. Two articles a month would be easy.
"That's fine. Now that you're awake, you can hurry back. This newspaper has just been published, and the specific implementation will probably be after the New Year."
"Okay, then Brother Zheng, bring your sister-in-law home for dinner when you have time."
"Okay, we'll contact you then."
"Then Brother Zheng, let's go." Nanqiao, Sheng Yanchuan and Minister Zheng went downstairs together, said hello and went to do their own things.
Taohua had lunch at school, so only Nanqiao and Sheng Yanchuan had lunch. After the two of them had lunch, Nanqiao lay on a recliner by the window, basking in the sun and reading a book. It was a peaceful scene.
After Sheng Yanchuan washed the dishes and put them away, he returned to his room.
"Brother Chuan, have you been back to the village recently? This morning, Brother Wu Wei gave me a certificate for a sleeper ticket, and there is also Shen Nian. If you want to go back, ask her if she wants to buy a ticket together."
"She probably won't be back these two days. Mom will come over this afternoon. I asked her to tell her when she goes back. If she wants to buy something, she can just go to the brigade and get a visiting permit and come home."
"Oh, yes, I forgot that I need a certificate from the brigade."
"Don't worry, go to sleep first. I don't know what time mom will come over this afternoon, so you don't have to wait."
"Okay," Nanqiao replied obediently, closing the book and reaching out for Sheng Yanchuan to carry her to the bed.
Sheng Yanchuan smiled dotingly, changed his clothes that smelled of oil smoke, walked to Nanqiao, carefully picked him up and put him on the bed. Nanqiao, who was originally very energetic, curled up on the bed, and before Sheng Yanchuan came back to pour water, Nanqiao had already fallen into a sweet dream.
Sheng Yanchuan came in with a glass of honey water and saw Nanqiao sleeping soundly. It seemed that he didn't know what he was dreaming about, with a slight smile on his face.
Sheng Yanchuan shook his head helplessly, looked at the honey water in his hand, put it on the bedside, and lay down beside Nanqiao, hugging him to sleep.
In the dream, Nanqiao saw his child grow from a toddler to an adult, and also saw himself and Sheng Yanchuan from newlyweds to old age.
A beautiful and smooth life
"Boom boom boom"
When Nanqiao saw his grandson being born in his dream, he was awakened by a knock on the door.
Sheng Yanchuan felt that the girl in his arms was awakened by the fright, and patted her back to comfort her, "You continue to sleep, I'll go check, maybe mom is here"
