see you in spring

Chapter 216 Men's Friendship II

Since Dongqing returned to the company, her status in the family has been rising day by day, and she has done less and less housework.

At first, when I got home early, I even helped choose a dish, but now I have almost reached the point where I can't see anything alive.Every day when I get home from get off work, I pick up my bowl and eat. After putting down my chopsticks, Ge You lies down, leaving Jia Lie busy in the kitchen washing pots and dishes.

It's not that Jia Lie has never complained, but if she talks too much, Dongqing will reply to her in a nonchalant manner: "I just want to experience how you felt before."

She has nothing to say.

Because she was indeed like this before, her ten fingers were not touched by Yang Chunshui.Once the child saw Dongqing busy in the kitchen, so he ran to the kitchen and asked, "Daddy, can I help you?"

Dongqing was greatly moved and asked the child to help peel a few garlic. Seeing the child helping seriously, she turned to look at Jia Lie, who had been lying on the sofa and watching variety shows on his mobile phone with relish, and couldn't help but sigh: "The youngest children have grown up, and the oldest children don't know when they will become sensible."

At that time, Jia Lie felt a little sweet because of these words.She felt that even though he was still treating her like a child when they were an old married couple, it was enough for her to show off to the young people in the company.

But now, things have turned around, and when I think of this sentence again, it's not so sweet.

Jia Lie has always known that marriage is a game of comprehensive strength between husband and wife.Besides, she insisted on buying a house in this school district. From a financial point of view and a rational point of view, she had nothing to say.

Now that Holly has grown up, she can only use more physical strength to make up for the lack of money and decision-making.

As the days passed, when Jia Lie was about to get used to working at home, taking care of housework and children's studies, things changed in Dongqing's side.

Dongqing, who usually arrives home at seven or eight o'clock on weekdays, suddenly arrived home at six o'clock in the afternoon.

Jia Lie, who was just about to cook, was very surprised. His daughter and Jia Lie had been fighting wits with each other at home all day. She was very happy to see her father come back so early. She pulled Dongqing to play flying chess.

Dongqing changed her usual good temper, hung up her bag and said, "Dad is tired, you can play by yourself."

Seeing Dongqing turn around and enter his room and close the door, his daughter pouted and went to watch TV in a depressed manner.

Jia Lie was busy cooking and had no time to ask.After finishing the meal and letting the child take a bath and go to bed, she cut an apple and gave it to Holly who was sitting on the sofa in a daze.

"Eat some apples to increase vitamins." Jia Lie gnawed on the remaining pulp on the core of the apple, and handed a bowl of crunchy and sweet pulp to Dongqing.

Dongqing glanced at her: "You can eat it."

"What's the matter with you today?"

Holly said nothing.

"Did that boy give you some shoes?" Jia Lie knew that Dongqing's youth was not a waste of money. With Dongqing's upright and heartless temperament, it would be easy for someone to wear shoes.

"No." Dongqing sighed and said: "Since the domestic supply of masks has stabilized, it has become somewhat saturated. Starting last month, our branch's products have mainly been sold to foreign markets. At the beginning, there were many foreign orders, but there were no Thinking that the domestic epidemic is under control now, things are in chaos abroad. Now the epidemic is very serious abroad. Many foreign customers have asked to suspend the delivery of orders, and some important spare parts imported from abroad are also unable to come in. The company has been operating normally. Manufacturing centers will have to reduce production and even face shutdowns starting tomorrow."

"Stop work?" Jia Lie's head buzzed.They had just lent all the money at home to Liu Quantao, and thought everything was going well for Dongqing. Unexpectedly, they received the bad news just a few days later.

Holly frowned and remained silent.

Jia Lie knew that Dongqing showed everything on his face, but looking at his expression now, she knew that this matter was really serious.

Thinking of the mountainous loan pressure, Jia Lie felt breathless: "After the production cut, has your position and salary changed?"

She didn't even dare to say "stop work".If work really stopped and Dongqing couldn't pay her wages, and she was the only one relying on her, then the bank would probably be close to seizing the house.

Dongqing rubbed her face vigorously with both hands and said calmly: "Starting this week, the assembly workshop in the factory will take turns and only receive basic wages. Managers also only receive basic wages."

"Basic salary? Starting this week?" Jia Lie felt dizzy. She sat down on the sofa with an ugly face.

Dongqing swallowed and tried to comfort her: "My basic salary plus yours, life should be fine."

"What about the house?" Jia Lie looked at him.

Dongqing said nothing and looked at the ground. After a while, she said: "You can't be dragged to death by a pile of bricks. When we come to this world, there are many more final things than a house."

From the beginning, Dongqing didn't want her to buy this apartment.She persisted and struggled, thinking she had finally overcome the difficulty, but she never expected that the difficulty would never let her go.

Jia Lie sat blankly for a while, then stood up silently, hunched his shoulders, and walked toward his room in frustration.

Holly looked at her lonely back and sighed.He knew better than anyone how much she wanted to keep the house.It wasn't that he didn't want to help her realize her wish, he tried hard but still couldn't do it.

Seeing her disappointed look made him feel bad.When you live to this age, even if you know you want something but you can’t get it, it’s the norm in life.But at the moment I experienced it, it was still hard to let go.

At this time, Jia Lie, who was sitting in front of the dressing table, wanted to cry but had no tears.She looked at herself in the mirror, wondering if she had worked too hard during this time, she felt that she looked much more haggard than when she went to work overtime.

She took out the house purchase contract from the cabinet, thinking about her excitement and joy when she grabbed the house, thinking about where their family was about to move, and thinking that her daughter would have a good educational environment. At that time, she , I really feel that happiness can be expected.

But in just a few months, her life had undergone tremendous changes. This house no longer brought them happiness and joy, but endless fear.

She lived in fear and swallowed her anger, but she still couldn't keep the house.

She glanced at her daughter, who was lying on the bed, breathing slowly, and slowly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.Before the Chinese New Year, she was still very popular, and the department she was about to be promoted to was very popular.Unexpectedly, an epidemic would cause her future and her new home to be photographed on the beach.

Jia Lie has passed the unrealistic boyhood full of longing and fond of fantasy.For middle-aged people, facing realistic difficulties resolutely and decisively is the most important thing.

Since you can't keep it, you can only let it go.After all, no one knows how long the sluggish economy will last. Now they at least have a job that can make a living. As for other things, they can only wait until the epidemic is over.

To live is to be alive in order to survive.
