see you in spring

Chapter 97
That night Jia Lie tossed and turned and couldn't sleep well.It was just after five o'clock in the morning when she couldn't sleep anymore.

Before dawn outside, she got up lightly, first touched the child's forehead, it was warm and healthy.Touching her forehead again, she was almost like a child, and her heart finally let go.

Jia Lie put on his slippers and opened the door to go to the toilet. As soon as he turned on the light in the living room, he found someone lying on the sofa.

Jia Lie staggered with fright. He held onto the wall and looked again. The person lying limply on the sofa turned out to be Dongqing.

After the mercury in the small room evaporated, Holly went back to her room to sleep.Jia Lie didn't know why Dongqing slept on the sofa last night.

Seeing his furrowed brows and the uncomfortable look on his face, she felt a thump in her heart. Could it be that he had a fever again on the last day?

At this time, Jia Lie no longer cared about the cold war and ran over anxiously.Just as he was about to get close and reach out to touch Dongqing's forehead, he remembered that there was a child at home. If he really had a fever, and if she got infected while being so close to him, there would be no one to take care of the child.

Jia Lie stopped, quickly took a few steps back, covered his nose, and shouted anxiously to Dongqing on the sofa: "Holly!"

Dongqing, who had just fallen asleep, was startled awake by Jia Lie's sound. She opened her eyes and saw Jia Lie looking at him in panic a few meters away.

Dongqing rubbed her eyes and slowly sat up: "Huh?"

"What's wrong with you? Do you have a fever again?"

"I...I don't have a fever." Dongqing reached out and touched her forehead, then looked at Jia Lie, who looked nervous.

"Really?" Jia Lie was doubtful.

Holly stood up: "Of course it's true."

"Why are you sleeping on the sofa? You scared me to death, you know? You are not allowed to sleep on the sofa again in the future!" Jia Lie shouted at Dongqing angrily.

Seeing her face turned pale and panicked, Dongqing was moved and a little amused, and she responded calmly.

Seeing that he had regained his energy, Jia Lie felt relieved and said angrily, "What's the matter with you? Why don't you sleep on the sofa if you have a bed?"

Dongqing rubbed her hands guiltily: "Isn't this... I want to know your situation as soon as possible. Are you and the child okay?"

Seeing the concerned look on his face, the anger in Jia Lie's chest finally dissipated, and the anger that had been there for so many days was gone.

"We're fine." Jia Lie handed him the thermometer: "Take your temperature and I'll report it later."

There is no thrilling scene in the reconciliation between old husband and wife.She handed him the steps, he caught them, and the day went on.

After reporting the family's body temperature, the haze that had shrouded the family for half a month finally dissipated.

During breakfast, the family turned on the TV to watch the morning news.

Since being quarantined at home, watching the news every day to understand the progress of the epidemic has become the most important thing for Jia Lie's family besides eating and sleeping.

As usual, the morning news reported the number of new infections and the number of people who had been cured and discharged, and then suddenly there was extremely exciting news: the National Institute of Virology, after conducting joint research with major scientific research centers, was screening drugs to suppress the new coronavirus. Important progress has been made in this regard.

This news made both Dongqing and Jia Lie very excited. If the drug can be developed as soon as possible, the epidemic can be controlled as soon as possible, and life can get back to normal one day earlier.

The news then reported that medical protective clothing, N95 masks and other items have been in very short supply, calling on relevant production companies to resume work and production as soon as possible.

When it comes to the issue of resumption of work, Jia Lie is worried again.There has been no news from the company, and if she continues to wait, she won't know where to get the mortgage payment for next month.

She picked up her mobile phone, reported her body temperature to her boss, and explained that she was out of the quarantine period today. If the company resumed work, she hoped she could return to the company as soon as possible.

The reason why she volunteered was because she heard a discussion in the company group that due to the epidemic, many workshop employees and office staff in other provinces made it clear that they would not come back to work after the Chinese New Year. After all, they had traveled long distances along the way and were in the carriage The air circulation is not good, and the chance of infection is too high. There is no need to risk your life for a job.

But Jia Lie can't care about so much. She has millions of dollars in loans, and now she just wants to go to work and make money.

The leader didn't reply, so she sent messages to several colleagues in the company she frequently contacted, asking them if they had received any messages from the company recently.

After sending the message, Jia Lie put an omelette for his child and said to Dongqing: "From today on, the property management will no longer buy food for us, and the refrigerator at home is empty. I will go out to buy some food later." "

After speaking, Jia Lie glanced at his daughter who was eating a big meal. She smiled, reached out to take away the rice grains on her cheeks, and said softly: "Winter melon, the Lantern Festival will be in two days. Mom will buy you some glutinous rice balls that you like later." Come back, how about having glutinous rice balls in two days?"

The little winter melon danced happily: "Okay, I want to eat the colorful glutinous rice balls."

Dongqing stopped her chopsticks and said, "It's snowing heavily outside, or I'll go."

Jia Lie took a sip of porridge and said: "No, I have to go to the courier after I buy the groceries. I don't have many masks at home. The masks and disinfectant sent by 'Dragon Knight' were detained by the courier. I have to Go get it back.”

Speaking of the 'Dragon Knight', Dongqing's face didn't look good.But still with the mentality of analyzing the problem, I said to her: "You said that other packages we bought could be delivered, but why was the package he sent withheld? Is there something wrong with the things he sent?"

Jia Lie knew that Dongqing had objections to others, but she couldn't figure it out. Is it so difficult to admit that she is not as good as others now?Instead of facing up to his own shortcomings, he always said such harsh words, which would only make her more disappointed in him.

Jia Lie put down his chopsticks and frowned slightly: "What's the problem? Don't you know how in demand these masks are now? People are kind enough to send you something, look at you like that!"

Dongqing didn't want to quarrel with her anymore because of this man. He quickly drank the porridge in the bowl and said to the child: "Dad will give you some math problems first. You can come over and do them after you finish eating."

Xiao Donggua pouted: "I don't want to do math problems. I also want to go shopping with my mother for groceries."

"No." The couple on the verge of a quarrel said in unison.

Little Donggua didn't expect that her parents would oppose her. Her little face was aggrieved and tears were about to fall.

Thinking of what Han Guyu said to Sun Yan last night, Jia Lie felt a little distressed. He softened his voice and said to the red-eyed little winter melon: "There are too many germs outside. You must wear a mask when you go out. But we don't have so many masks at home. Wait for mom to go get the mask from the courier later, and then take you out tomorrow, okay?"

"Really?" The daughter blew out a snot bubble from her nose.

"Mom, let me hook you up." Jia Lie wiped her nose with a smile, stretched out his little finger to hook his daughter's little finger, and the little winter melon broke through her tears and smiled.

Dongqing didn't want her daughter to go out. She originally wanted to stop her, but then she thought about it. She might not be able to get the package back. If there was no problem, it would have been sent long ago.But in order not to quarrel, he didn't say that.

While Dongqing was clearing away the dishes, Jia Lie received a message. She thought it was from her boss, so she quickly picked it up and read it, only to find that it was a voice message from Sister Wang, who went to buy a house with her.

She was slightly disappointed and clicked in.I thought Sister Wang was sending some gossip again, but I didn’t expect to hear Sister Wang’s crying voice coming from the phone: “Jia Lie, I have been fired by the company. I heard that the company will also lay off a large number of old employees. If you receive a dismissal call from the human resources manager, don’t be afraid and ask for justice for us old employees.”

Dongqing stopped washing the dishes, turned around, and found that Jia Lie had stiffened and his face was pale.
