Chapter 351: Choice
When I returned to Lihua Alley again, more than a month had passed.
The pear tree in the yard also produced astringent fruits.
Lin Yiyi was playing with Mozi, whose nails had been cut. Maybe they hadn’t seen each other for a long time, so the little guy didn’t recognize her. He pouted and was about to cry when he sniffed her.
Seeing him pretending to cry and howl, Lin Yiyi just found it funny. She pinched his little hands and arms, and then stopped bullying him. She let Aunt Sun hold him and show him around.
Youyou was held by his cousin's wife and watched his brother cry. His eyes narrowed into slits with laughter, and when he was happy enough, he started biting the pacifier again.
Lin Yiyi looked at the two hairy chestnut heads. Their hair was too thick and she didn't know whether they needed to have it cut.
"Auntie, the little guy's hair is so long, can you cut it shorter?"
"I was just about to mention this. I'm going to take my child to find a hairdresser to cut his hair tomorrow.
Cut it now and when the winter comes, the hair will grow longer, and it will be just right to wear the rabbit fur hat I made." Auntie Sun coaxed Mozi and started talking to Lin Yiyi. She didn't know what was wrong with the two little guys. They could be hugged by anyone, but they would cry and make a fuss when their own mother hugged them.
Lin Yiyi looked at Mozai who was lying on Aunt Sun's shoulder and staring at her, and thought he was very cute. She wanted to pinch his little face.
I was afraid that he would cry again, so I had to give up.
After going back to the house to organize some painting materials, Zhao Sheng came back from get off work early. He entered the house, kissed Lin Yiyi, and took her to the kitchen.
Kill the chicken, scald its feathers, pour water into the casserole and stew the chicken all in one go.
The two little guys also watched their father's performance, their eyes widened and their saliva dripped.
I don’t know what they are craving for, but Lin Yiyi thinks they are craving for colorful chicken feathers.
The shuttlecock that the man made for her had already been plucked bald by the two little guys.
Because of this, she was blamed for not cherishing him and he would never make any small things for her again.
After Zhao Sheng cleaned up and washed his hands, he went into the house and told Lin Yiyi what happened in the morning.
"The provincial capital factory wants to transfer me over to work there, and I'd like to hear your opinion."
Lin Yiyi packed up her easel, turned her head and looked at the man, smiled, and said gently, "I have no objection. I am not very familiar with your work. It is definitely inaccurate and subjective to listen to an outsider like me."
"Do you want me to go?" The man was silent for a while, looked up at her, his voice low and a little hoarse.
"Hmm?" Lin Yiyi was a little suspicious. She put away her painting tools and sat on the chair beside him. "What do you mean by 'I want to'? You decide your job yourself."
Weird questions.
I handed him the teacup and asked him to drink some water to moisten his throat. He rolled his eyes at me, and I heard some complaints in his words, "I'm going to the provincial capital, so what are you going to do? Are you going to separate from me?"
If he accepts the transfer, he will not be able to get a small two-bedroom apartment in the factory within six months.
If he took Lin Yiyi and the twins to the provincial capital, he could only rent a courtyard outside, but he was occasionally away from home for work and was afraid something might happen.
Putting aside the safety issue, she couldn't take care of two children by herself.
It turned out to be about this matter. Lin Yiyi laughed at him for being silly, leaned in and kissed the man on the lips, then pulled some distance away and said with a smile, "If you go to the provincial capital, I will go with you. Anyway, I will be there wherever you are, there is no doubt about that.
However, I hope you can make your own decision about your job transfer.
Work is the thing that stays with you the longest besides your family. Your wishes are the most important. I support you. "
“…”
Things are back to the starting point. Zhao Sheng doesn't want to miss this promotion, but he can't bear to leave her.
After a moment's hesitation, the man considered his words and said, "I'm going to the provincial capital to work. Considering the safety of renting a house outside and the fact that my child is too young to be left without someone to take care of him, you can't go with me for the time being. You need to stay in Lihua Alley."
Let her be a left-behind woman to take care of the children?
Only then did Lin Yiyi understand what the man meant. He said he was asking for her opinion, but in fact he just wanted her to make a virtuous decision and fulfill his wish.
She was generous and took the initiative to be a good wife and help him, so he didn't feel so restrained or even embarrassed.
Capable men tend to be more career-oriented. Lin Yiyi can understand his mentality. Besides, he naturally needs to sacrifice some things to get to where he is today from nothing.
Although she understood, she still felt a little uncomfortable. Lin Yiyi looked at him and smiled, her tone gentle, "Can you tell me that my salary will increase?
Will the benefits be much higher? If they are much better than now, I will naturally choose this job.”
"Yes, it is better than the current welfare benefits."
Money and treatment are not the most important things. What is important is that there is a greater probability of moving up, and he will not be a truck driver all his life.
"Then go ahead. If you get a chance, you must seize it. What I said just now about pestering you was just a joke. Don't take it seriously. Focus on your work first."
Lin Yiyi helped him consider his career prospects from his perspective. It is hard for one person to earn money to support a family, and the family expenses are high.
Since she has no job and cannot earn money to share the burden, she naturally cannot become a stumbling block in his career.
She didn't want him to miss the opportunity because of her or her words, and it would become a topic of quarrel between them in the future.
Zhao Sheng frowned and stared at her intently, with a questioning look in his eyes, but he found that her eyes were full of sincerity and did not seem fake. He was in a dilemma, "Let me think about it again."
Seeing him hesitate, Lin Yiyi was afraid that she would hold him back and quickly added, "You don't need to consider me, nor do you need to consider the child.
Consider yourself and your work first, for it will be with you the longest and most reliable.”
As the twins grow older, there will be more and more places to spend money.
When she goes to college next year, the family will have additional expenses, and a promotion and a raise are just right at this time.
There were guests at home during dinner time and the men drank some wine. After dinner, Lin Yiyi went back to her room early to rest.
Lying on the bed, she thought about her future life. Zhao Sheng and she would be apart more often than together. She would go to school and he would work. It was just right for them to start getting used to it now.
The most important thing is to cherish the present moment.
Zhao Sheng drank some wine in the evening and sent the old headhunter back to the transport team before returning home. The person on the bed was already asleep.
The man lay down on the bed, stretched out his hands to hold her in his arms to fill the emptiness in his heart. Recalling the scenes of talking with her in the evening, Zhao Sheng sighed in his heart. He couldn't live without her, nor could he let go of her hand.
Some things cannot be easily decided by just being rational and clear-headed and distinguishing the pros and cons.
He wanted to move up in his career, and she wanted to be with him.
