Chapter 3: Loving Husband and Wife

Everything didn't go well today, which made Lu Xifei's mood very depressed, and it lasted until the evening. So Dudu's vexatious troubles once again angered Lu Xifei, and he took this opportunity to find an outlet for his emotions.

Lu Xifei sat on the sofa and ate melon seeds for a long time. After a while, Huan Shaojun came out with Dudu in his arms.

"Dudu, come and apologize to Dad, it's really you wrong today, I agreed that you can only watch TV on Saturdays and weekends. ”

"Dad, I'm sorry. After Dudu finished speaking, his nose twitched and he cried aggrievedly.

Lu Xifei's mood had calmed down much at this time, and when he saw his son crying, he said distressedly, "Let Dad hug you", and picked him up. He himself felt deeply guilty, he shouldn't bring negative emotions home, and he was angry with his son, the child is so young, it's normal to be coquettish, and he is a little too much.

"Lu Xifei, you comfort Dudu, it's good for the child to be coaxed." Seeing that Lu Xifei seemed to be in a better mood, Huan Shaojun asked him to coax the child again.

Lu Xifei held the child in his hands, "Dad doesn't let you watch TV for your own good, watching too much TV is not good for your eyes."

"Dad, I got it". Dudu agreed as if he didn't understand.

Lu Xifei saw that the child was coaxed, so he played with him for a while, after all, he was a child, and soon laughed loudly.

At night, after Huan Shaojun put the child to sleep, the two sat on the bed and began to chat.

"Husband, are you in a bad mood today?"

"You see that?"

"After all these years, I still don't know you. As soon as you are upset, your face shows it. Is it because of the wage cut?"

"It wasn't a very smooth day today. In the morning, he had a quarrel with Cheng Yueqing. Lu Xifei told Huan Shaojun the cause and effect of the incident.

"Cheng Yueqing is too much, he doesn't give me any face in front of so many people", speaking of this matter, Lu Xifei felt aggrieved again, and said indignantly.

"Who calls people have a background? You don't have anything, you're just a hired person. So in the unit, don't take it too seriously, adults don't care about villains, just turn a blind eye and forget it. ”

"It's great to have a background. I don't care what kind of director her husband is, it makes me anxious, and it's useless for the king of heaven. ”

"That's not what I said. You are in the same unit, you look down and don't look up, and you fight every day. For the sake of his own body, he can't be angry with her every day. Besides, people have backgrounds, and you may be the first to go. You also know that with our family's current economic conditions, you can't go without a job now. You're the pillar of our family!"

Huan Shaojun said nervously, she was really worried that Lu Xi would be rash and lose her job all of a sudden.

"I know. But it's embarrassing, how am I going to face her in the future? She doesn't give me any face. ”

"You, don't get too stiff with her, don't clash with her head-on. ”

"Well, that's what I thought too. Lu Xifei said helplessly.

"By the way, your salary has been reduced, do you have any plans?"

"Today, Director Zhao said to give me 20,000 yuan and let me find ** for reimbursement. I think that after the money is reimbursed, I will quickly return Zheng Wei's money first. That way we won't be under so much pressure in the short term. ”

"Why is Director Zhao so good today?!Why do you suddenly want to give you 20,000 yuan?"

"I don't know, but I've always felt uneasy. I've heard before that she uses the evaluation studio's funds as a small treasury. Now I have a vague feeling that she is ready to evaluate the studio's budget again, probably trying to pull me into the water first. Actually, I'm conflicted and don't want to take the money. Take this money, and you will definitely be subject to her in the future. But if I don't take it, she will definitely have opinions, and she will think that I don't know how to lift, and I may lose her trust because of this, maybe I will wear small shoes in the future, and I may not even be able to do it in charge. Cheng Yueqing has been eyeing this position. But we really have no choice now, Zheng Wei is asking me for debts, and my relatives and friends can no longer borrow money, so how can I return the money to Zheng Wei? I am really desperate, so I can only promise to take this money. Lu Xifei said frustratedly.

"A penny suffocates the hero. Let's accept the current situation. Solve the current crisis first. ”

"yes. That's why I agreed to take the money. Nominally, this money is a private benefit given to me by the director, but in fact, I know that she is playing a big game of chess. But it can't be helped, and now this can only be the case. ”

"When my mom comes over, I'll go out and find a part-time job to try to solve our current financial crisis as soon as possible. A good sister of mine, Yang Shanshan, has been in the medical device business recently, so I'll contact her to see if there is a chance. Huan Shaojun wanted to reduce the burden on the family and not let Lu Xifei worry too much.

"Marrying me has wronged you. In the past few years, I worked hard to bring up a baby, and now this situation is happening again, and I still let you go to a part-time job. I'm so useless, the salary is so low, you are suffering. ”

"Don't say that. I don't regret marrying you at all. Marry me to let you be wronged. With your conditions, you can find a family with better conditions. You chose me, and you were also wronged, and our family couldn't help much. However, I believe that as long as two people love each other, there is no difficulty that will not be difficult for us. Besides, it's not your fault that the salary is low, your platform salary is like that. You can't compare with our industry, although we make more money in this industry, but we don't have social status. In fact, sometimes I despise my leaders and whisper to curry favor with doctors for the sake of business. You have a high social status, and I am very proud when I introduce your work outside. There must always be a stable family, otherwise, if neither of us has a job, the family will be over."

"Thank you, wife. You are so nice, you never say that I am bad, and you think about me everywhere. ”

Lu Xifei was moved to take Huan Shaojun into his arms and kissed her forehead.

Huan Shaojun lay happily in Lu Xifei's arms, "As long as the two of us are good, I can suffer anything." Husband, don't worry, we'll be fine. ”

"Well, I'm sure it'll be fine. By the way, on Monday I'm going on a business trip to Yinchuan for a seminar and a week's trip. It just so happened that Cheng Yueqing and I calmed down with each other and took this opportunity to relax. ”

"Okay, that's good, two people take it easy, it won't be so embarrassing. You're going to be back in a week, and the kids will miss you. Otherwise, tomorrow is the weekend, let's take the kids to Disney to play. Last time the mall held a lottery event, I was actually drawn to the Disney one-day family ticket, and the luck was amazing. I've been looking for a chance to check it out. Since the newly built Disney opened, I haven't been to it since. Huan Shaojun said excitedly.

"Okay, it's not going to be much for the past two days. Then go tomorrow. It's not too early, I'm going to Disney tomorrow, I heard that there are a lot of Disney people, and it must be very tiring with a baby, so let's go to bed early. ”

"Well, sleep, husband, I love you", Huan Shaojun kissed Lu Xifei affectionately.

"Wife, I love you too, good night"

"Good night!" Huan Shaojun turned off the light.

Early the next morning, Huan Shaojun had already prepared breakfast and called Lu Xifei and his son up for breakfast. Dudu jumped up happily when he heard that he was going to Disney Playground. Tian Yuan Disney, as the only Disney in Chinese mainland and the largest Disney park in Asia, has always attracted much attention. Chinese are curious, and some admire the foreign, and they all want to see what the world-famous Disney is like. Tianyuan Disneyland has not been officially opened for a long time, it has been very popular, tickets are very tight, and the price is particularly expensive, if you come over the weekend, the ticket price for a family of three will be 1500 yuan. If it weren't for the opportunity that Huan Shaojun got by lottery, they would definitely not bring Dudu over in the short term, with their family's current economic situation, it would be too luxurious to come to Disney to play. Many of his colleagues had already arrived early in advance during the Disney trial run. When Disney opened, Tianyuan City Satellite TV planned a party, Lu Xifei took Dudu to watch it in front of the TV, and when those dreamy buildings and classic cartoon images flashed one after another, they were deeply attracted to Dudu. Dudu has mentioned it many times before, asking Lu Xifei when he will come to Disney, and today he can finally realize his dream. Therefore, Dudu has been very excited since he got up, brushing his teeth and washing his face uncharacteristically and cooperatively, and even changed his usual habit of grinding and chirping for breakfast, and quickly ate breakfast. After Huan Shaojun prepared the water, snacks and fruits that Dudu drank, he set off. They decided to take the subway to get there, because the subway goes directly to Disney, there is no traffic jam on the road, and the time can be controlled. The family of three packed up and set off, and before leaving, Lu Xifei also deliberately posted a circle of friends, "Go to Disney". Soon Tianshu sent a message.

Tianshu is the first colleague recruited by Lu Xifei after he became the person in charge, and he is Lu Xifei's subordinate. After Lu Xifei became the person in charge, he changed the management style of the former person in charge, Zhu Zhengyi, and required his subordinate personnel to be punctual at work and not allowed to leave the office without reason. These measures have made some colleagues extremely disgusted, especially Li Li, who is a treasurer. Li Li was often late and left early for no reason, and Lu Xifei told Zhao Rulan about her non-compliance with the office order, and Zhao Rulan seriously criticized her. Li Li is the finance of the institute, and her work belongs to the evaluation studio, and she usually manages the funds of the evaluation studio and Zhao Rulan's personal project funds. In the past, Zhao Rulan and Li Li had a close relationship, and every time Li Li reported to work, the office door was locked and outsiders were not allowed to enter. Zhao Rulan's personal project funds are hundreds of millions of yuan, plus the funds of the evaluation studio under her jurisdiction are also more than 2 million, and the funds are too large to spend. However, these funds cannot be directly spent and withdrawn, and must be reimbursed to be realized. Therefore, for personal interests, Zhao Rulan often asked Li Li to set up a name and cash out falsely. However, the sudden change in the national situation, the recent anti-corruption high-pressure, the previous reimbursement of unruly, the phenomenon of easy reimbursement has been curbed. Now that the financial reimbursement work is becoming more and more strict, the reimbursement has become no longer so easy, the reimbursement must be related to the subject and the facts of the subject, Li Li feels very tricky about the strict financial reimbursement policy, and the work is extremely uncomfortable. However, Zhao Rulan doesn't care about the change of policy, or uses her old thinking, in order to realize the project funds, she often puts pressure on Li Li, and Li Li is very resistant to this. She has a superior family background, an old public company, family assets of hundreds of millions, lives in a villa, drives a luxury car, and only passes the time when she goes to work in the unit. Now Li Li feels that the pressure of work is too great, and she is worried that she will be implicated if the discipline inspection department finds problems in the future, with the strength of her family, there is no need to take risks for this job, so she has already had the idea of leaving. Now that Lu Xifei has come up, the working environment is not so free, and even the only job attraction has been lost, so there is really no need to stay any longer. Therefore, Li Li did not cooperate with Zhao Rulan's work in the later period, and Zhao Rulan was also dissatisfied with her.

Therefore, after being criticized by Zhao Rulan, Li Li proposed to Zhao Rulan to resign, but Zhao Rulan agreed very happily. This is what Li Li didn't expect, she thought that Zhao Rulan would keep her, at least not so easily. She has worked for Zhao Rulan for nearly 20 years, and she thought that the relationship between the two was like best friends, but now she found out that it was pure wishful thinking, and the relationship between the two was simply plastic. Li Li finally recognized Zhao Rulan's face, Zhao Rulan just regarded herself as a chess piece, she didn't really regard herself as a friend at all, what was good for her was good for herself, and once she had no use value, she kicked it away. Li Li suddenly felt very sad, she had been thinking about Zhao Rulan's affairs all these years, and now she thought about how naΓ―ve she was, so she left resolutely and never came to the unit again.

After Li Li left, Zhao Rulan asked Lu Xifei to recruit another reliable treasurer. After receiving the assignment, he posted a job posting on the Internet, and many people came for interviews, but it was really just a show. Lu Xifei posted this recruitment information in the circle of friends very early, and the work of public institutions is still very attractive to Chinese, and Chinese people have a kind of mentality of seeking stability in their bones and have a soft spot for public institutions. Soon, a friend recommended Tianshu to Lu Xifei.

Tianshu is a post-90s generation, with delicate and smooth skin, delicate facial features, gentle personality, and a small jasper and slim temperament, when he first saw Tianshu, Lu Xifei was also surprised by the beauty of this little girl. Tianshu's family conditions are superior, his father is a civil servant in Tianyuan City, it is said that he is the leader of a certain bureau, and his mother is a public institution personnel, so there is no financial pressure, so although the salary here is not high, he still strongly asks to come over. When Lu Xifei took her to see Zhao Rulan, Zhao Rulan didn't expect this little girl to be so beautiful, and joked that Lu Xifei hired her because of her beauty. Lu Xifei hurriedly explained, claiming that Tianshu graduated from the best university in Tianyuan City, had worked for 3 years, had rich work experience, excellent education and work background, and stood out among more than a dozen candidates. Although Zhao Rulan had doubts, considering that Lu Xifei had already made him fully responsible as the person in charge, and it was not good to refute his face in the first recruitment, she agreed to hire Tianshu. Tianshu felt the grace of Lu Xifei's acquaintance, and has always been very grateful to Lu Xifei, and he is usually very close to Lu Xifei, as if he has become Lu Xifei's confidant. When I saw Lu Xifei's family going to Disney to play, I happened to be there some time ago, so I sent WeChat to care.

"You guys went to Disney?"

"Yes. Bring Dudu over to play today. Lu Xifei replied.

"There are a lot of Disney people, so you must do a good job in advance. Some of the amusement facilities are for adults, some are for children, and some of the facilities have height restrictions, so you must do a good job of the strategy before you go, otherwise you will line up in vain if you don't pay attention. ”

"Ahh What do you think I should play?" Lu Xifei replied with his head down.

Huan Shaojun hugged Dudu beside him, and suddenly saw Lu Xifei chatting with a beautiful woman's avatar on WeChat, and the sensitivity of the woman made her have to pay attention.

"Which beautiful woman are you talking to?" said Huan Shaojun half-jokingly.

"The newly recruited colleague Tianshu. Seeing the status of my circle of friends, I knew that we were coming to Disney and told us about Disney's travel strategy. You see. ”

Lu Xifei handed the WeChat chat content to Huan Shaojun to see. Huan Shaojun saw that he was so calm, and then saw that the content of the information was indeed as he said, so he let go of the doubts in his heart. At this time, Tianshu sent another WeChat message.

"When you arrive at Disneyland, when you enter the park, you have to hurry up and grab a fast pass. Fast passes can help you book a skip-the-line ride at a certain point in time, which can save you a lot of time in line. Fast Passes are issued every hour, a total of 20,000 tickets, and there are no more when they run out. At present, the most popular fast passes are Leaping Horizon, Seven Dwarf Mine Cars, Thundering Mountain Rafting, etc., which are very popular, generally queuing for 2-3 hours, if you can grab it, you can enter it in about half an hour, which can save a lot of time to play other projects. ”

"Huh, it's so long to stand in line." Lu Xifei hurriedly told Huan Shaojun the news, and Huan Shaojun suddenly felt nervous, "When we get to Disney, let's rush forward."

"Well, hurry up and grab the fast pass", Lu Xifei also said nervously.

"Disney has a lot of fun, but the queues are long. You'd better be selective about playing a few key items. At the same time, it is necessary to pay attention to several performance times, such as the parade of floats and Frozen, these performances must not be missed, they are still very exciting. For the rest, you can ask me when you get to Disney. Tianshu said in WeChat.

"Okay. ”

After an hour and a half of subway bumps, during which Lu Xifei's family experienced countless questions of "have you arrived?", as well as countless prevarications between the two "It's almost there", they finally came to Disney. Exit from the Disney subway and follow the crowd to the Disney entrance. When he saw Disney's Dream Castle in front of him, he excitedly shouted, "Disney! Disney!"

But when they saw the long queue again, they were a little discouraged.

"You also said that as soon as you get to the door, you will rush forward, where to rush?", Lu Xifei said to Huan Shaojun with a wry smile.

"How can there be so many people. Look at the speed and length of the queue through security, when will we be able to enter the park? It's half past ten now. Huan Shaojun said dejectedly.

"Let's be honest and get in line. Lu Xifei said, and by the way, he took a photo of waiting in line and sent it to Tianshu.

"Oh my God! Hug {emoji}".

Tianshu is a post-90s generation and likes to post all kinds of emojis. Lu Xifei saw Tian Shu's ambiguous expression, and suddenly remembered in his mind that Tian Shu Jiao's good face and sexy figure, his heart throbbed. But when he turned his head and saw Huan Shaojun, he felt ashamed in his heart, thinking about how to think about these messy things. He was worried that Huan Shaojun would see this WeChat, so he quickly deleted it.

After a long time, Tianshu sent another WeChat message "Have you gone in?", Lu Xifei felt weak, and only replied with 2 words "Not yet".

After more than 1 hour of queuing, I finally entered the park. In the process of queuing, there were too many people, the air was turbid, the environment was noisy, and Dudu woke up too early today, so he was uncomfortable, and the child's temper came again. He was reluctant to walk by himself, begging for hugs along the way, and tossed Lu Xifei and Huan Shaojun enough. Lu Xifei thought that it should be easy to enter the park.

Due to Tianshu's reminder, Lu Xifei had already done his homework in advance on the subway, and when he entered the park, Lu Xifei took Huan Shaojun and Dudu and rushed directly to the designated place to grab the fast pass. But it's still late, fortunately, Lu Xifei is lucky, although he didn't grab other fast passes, but he finally grabbed the last 2 Thundering Mountain Rafting Fast Passes, but the play time is late, it is 6:30-7 o'clock in the evening. Once they get their Fast Pass, the rest of the time is at their disposal. In Disneyland, they are always being chased by time, playing one project and rushing to another. Because there are too many people, they have been queuing on the way, even playing the merry-go-round has to queue for 1 hour, and the baby elephant flying car is 1 and a half hours, but these projects can be easily played for only 10 yuan in the park amusement facilities. What made Lu Xifei collapse the most was that the seven dwarf mine cars, which were children's favorites, actually spent 3 hours queuing, shouting tired without stopping, Lu Xifei and Huan Shaojun took turns hugging him and coaxing him. When it was finally their turn to play, it was over in a few minutes, and Dudu obviously felt that he was still unfinished, and they could only keep coaxing him.

Later, they watched the parade of floats, Frozen and other performances, which were quite exciting. I was so tired that I didn't play a few projects for a day. At half past six in the evening, Lu Xifei thought that he would finally be able to skip the queue with the Thundering Mountain Rafting Fast Pass, but he was refused to play because Dudu was not tall. Lu Xifei pleaded with the staff for a long time, but the staff finally rejected them on the grounds that the children were safe. They could only reluctantly give the two fast passes to other tourists, who were laughed at by the sudden luck and joy. Dudu looked disappointed, in order to appease him, Lu Xifei decided to buy him a toy to make up for it. Disney's toys are too expensive, a bubble machine costs 95 yuan, but for the sake of the child's happiness, he gritted his teeth and bought it. On this day, they did not eat. The snacks brought were confiscated directly at the security check, and the price of the restaurant in the Disney Park was very expensive, and a family of three would eat anything at least three or four hundred yuan, but Huan Shaojun was not willing to eat it. Lu Xifei still complained a little, saying that he shouldn't care about money when he came out to play, but because he couldn't resist Huan Shaojun, and in order to save time to play, he didn't go to eat in the end, and only bought some snacks at Disney to satisfy his hunger. Finally, after enjoying Disney's highlight fireworks and light show, the trip to Disney finally ended. But they were exhausted, and they were able to catch the last train home on the subway.

Since it is the last train of the subway, the subway station is crowded with tourists. When the subway first arrived at the station, everyone rushed to grab a seat, but fortunately, Huan Shaojun was quick to occupy a favorable position and was lucky to grab a seat. At the end of the day, they were so tired that they didn't want to move, and with their seats, they could finally take a break. Since he didn't eat at night, Dudu kept shouting that he was hungry, Huan Shaojun looked for it in his backpack, and there were some small biscuits in it, so he took them out to satisfy Dudu's hunger.

While they were eating, the aunt on the other side suddenly accused them.

"Look at it, the biscuits eaten by children fall to the ground and are everywhere, do you adults have any quality?"

was suddenly pointed at and scolded by the aunt, Lu Xifei was already very tired, and suddenly became angry.

"Why are you swearing? Little kids, what's wrong with hungry biscuits after a day of playing? Besides, the crumbs have fallen, and we'll pick them up later. Why are you swearing?!"

"You don't know you can't eat on the subway!

Hearing his aunt scolding him for being a countryman, Lu Xifei felt that his self-esteem was hurt and his personality was insulted, and he began to get angry.

"The quality of a person like you is low. Your children are hungry and don't give them food? We are countrymen, you Tianyuan City people are amazing? Not us outsiders, your Tianyuan City can be so good. Dream!". Lu Xifei's face turned red with anger when he spoke. Huan Shaojun pulled Lu Xifei aside, worried that he would have a physical conflict with his aunt.

The aunt was choked by Lu Xifei and didn't know what to say, and began to stare at him with her eyes, and Lu Xifei was not to be outdone and glared at her with her eyes. At this time, the aunt muttered again:

"Everybody comes here. If you don't go back to your hometown, you will make trouble here, and you will make this place a miasma. "The image of a philistine with a face on his face.

After Lu Xifei heard it, he couldn't hold back his anger anymore, and pointed at his aunt with his finger: "Do you have the ability to say it again?" When the aunt saw Lu Xifei's posture, she was so frightened that she didn't dare to speak.

"Let me tell you, I'm a graduate student of a prestigious university, and you say that I don't have quality? Is it necessary to insult people so much when a child eats cookies and falls on the subway? It's not that we won't clean up later, and we will clean up after he eats well, so what qualifications do you have to scold people? Just because you are from Tianyuan City? Are you of high quality? Why is there regional discrimination? You people in Tianyuan City are all noble? I don't think you are very good. When you have grandchildren, think about what you said today!"

The aunt was speechless, the passengers around her were very indifferent, and she looked like she didn't care about herself, she knew that she couldn't get any benefits in front of Lu Xifei, so she slipped away at the next stop.

Watching the aunt get off the subway station, Lu Xifei had nowhere to vent his resentment, and scolded Huan Shaojun: "What kind of biscuits did you say you gave Dudu." Look at what clothes you are wearing today, I usually ask you to buy some new clothes, and I am reluctant to buy this, I am not willing to buy that, and I always say that I will buy it when I have money. Now that you're wearing such dirt, you're happy to be scolded by the countrymen?"

Huan Shaojun was scolded by Lu Xifei and didn't dare to squeak, but lowered his head and bent down to clean the biscuit crumbs on the ground. Huan Shaojun felt very sad in his heart, the child was already very uncomfortable when he was pointed at and scolded just now, and now his husband is still sprinkling his resentment on himself. Usually, Lu Xi wants to buy some clothes, but he always says that he won't buy them, because he knows that it is not easy to make money, and there are still many debts at home that have not been repaid, in order to save expenses. I didn't expect my husband to say this about himself today. Huan Shaojun felt very aggrieved, but she also knew that she couldn't blame her husband, her husband was just venting his anger, not really talking about himself. In order to prevent Lu Xifei from continuing to be angry, Huan Shaojun could only swallow his anger.

Lu Xifei finished his stomach full of resentment and began to be silent. He was annoyed that he would be scolded as well. He had never been accused like this, and his pride was greatly insulted. At the same time, he also blamed himself for not creating a good condition for his wife and children because his salary was so low. He even wondered why he wanted to stay in Tianyuan City, which didn't give him the sense of belonging he wanted, and he didn't appreciate the human touch. He has no relatives by his side except for his wife and children. Despite the occasional acquaintance, he always felt lonely and insecure, as if the whole world was laughing at him. Laugh at him, why do you have to stay here because you can't do anything, why don't you get out of here?

"Mom and Dad, I'm not going to eat cookies, I'm not hungry." Dudu saw his father quarreling with others because he ate biscuits, and he was angry with his mother, so he came to comfort them very sensibly.

Lu Xifei saw that the child was so sensible, and he was moved at once. I came to Tianyuan City from a city that did not enter the stream, hoping that one day I could create superior conditions for my children, so that they could gain a foothold in this city, enjoy the best education and resources in this city, and avoid the detours they took. Thinking of this, Lu Xifei hugged Dudu tightly and kissed him. He took the opportunity to hold Huan Shaojun in his arms again, Huan Shaojun's eyes flashed with tears, and she tried her best to control her tears from letting them fall.

Lu Xifei saw all this in his eyes, and his heart was sour.
