Chapter 11 (II)

Chen Kuo didn't explain Zhou Biyun's illness too clearly, but just ordered Chen Yi to come back in a sullen voice.
Since hanging up Chen Yi's phone a week ago, Zhou Biyun has rubbed her chest every day and shouted uncomfortable, although every year she has a unit to organize a physical examination, but she still makes a more comprehensive physical examination, Chen Kuo is doing private work without a unit organization, the two of them did it together by the way, but Zhou Biyun seems to have really found out something wrong.
In order to go home, Chen Yi proposed to Bai Qi with great difficulty that the trip to Italy needed to be postponed, but fortunately, Bai Qi did not react much and agreed easily, but when Chen Yi further asked if he could accompany her home, he was obviously a little annoyed, and she also understood, because his hometown had too many bad memories for him.
In the end, when Chen Yi said that she would go back by herself, Bai Qi breathed a sigh of relief and was also very apologetic, he booked a first-class ticket for Chen Yi, and also put 50,000 yuan into the account, telling her to buy whatever she needed for her parents, and if the medical expenses were large, just tell him how much money she needs.
Compared with most people, maybe Bai Qi has reached the limit of what a boyfriend can do, but when Chen Yi was lying on the plane alone, she still felt a little lonely and felt nowhere to put it, she turned her face to look at the sea of clouds outside the porthole, and the thousands of waves of white of different colors made her seem to fall into an empty pavilion in the air - I was not satisfied, I asked too much - she couldn't help but blame herself, after all, Bai Qi's work was really busy, but she had already put all the extra attention on her as much as possible.
Compared with most people, Chen Yi has lived a carefree and happy life, and she doesn't know what she is dissatisfied with, and her heart is a little empty, but she can't say what she lacks.

The plane landed at the airport in the provincial capital, and it took 40 minutes to take a car or 20 minutes to take the high-speed train to return to Xiaguang City, but Chen Yi's parents had entrusted her cousin to pick her up, and after communicating by phone, Chen Yi stood in the drop-off area waiting for a silver SUV, she hadn't seen her cousin Zhao Li for more than ten years.
Zhao Li is the child of Zhou Biyun's sister, one year older than Chen Yi, they were quite common when they were children, they played many games, and the two families also went to amusement parks and zoos together, Zhao Li transferred to other places when she was in junior high school, Chen Yi never saw her again, but her life trajectory, through Zhou Biyun's mouth, has always been clear.
Because my cousin's parents hope that Zhao Li will not be too far away from home, so obedient she finally returned to the local junior college, when working in a department store, she fell in love with a male colleague who was two years older than her, and after graduation, she immediately got married and had children, and now, the second child was also born, Zhao Li in order to take care of the child, is still working as a salesperson with more flexible working hours, and her husband opened a small supermarket with the support of both families, the couple has a stable income, a house and a car, and a son and a daughterA vacation in a "farmhouse" or a hot spring inn can be described as a joy and family fun.
Zhao Li is a "model of filial piety" in Zhou Biyun's eyes, a "winner in life", for Chen Yi, she is "someone else's child" and "a model for learning", Zhou Biyun often says that Chen Yi can live half of Zhao Li's appearance, half?
"Chen Yi, I haven't seen you for a long time, why do you still look exactly the same as when you were a child!" Zhao Li jumped out of the car while greeting, she was one meter tall and in her early sixties, and she was many fatter than her childhood body, so she looked like a solid tree stump, and her skin was not in good condition, maybe it was too hard to take care of children, although she looked very energetic with a smile, but there were many spots and wrinkles on her face, compared with Chen Yi, she was already the image of a middle-aged aunt, she opened the trunk and quickly helped Chen Yi put her luggage away, and urged her to get into the car quickly," Don't stop here, let's go. ”
She was reluctant to park her car in the parking lot, so she had been waiting for Chen Yi's call near the airport, and calculated the time to drive the car over to pick her up.
"You haven't got a family, you just don't understand, this money should be spent or not, and if you can, you won't spend it. Zhao Li said while driving, "In life, there are many places to use money." Seeing Chen Yi nodding in agreement, she smiled with satisfaction and continued, "You see that it's not an important occasion for you to come home, there's no need to put on makeup, this face also costs twenty yuan, right?
Chen Yi said that it was "fairy water" and "Lamei", and Zhao Li screamed, "As for you, you're not a female star, it's not appropriate to use such an expensive one, right? ”
Chen Yi said: "I don't have children, so I don't need to buy diapers. ”
But Zhao Li turned a deaf ear, she just wanted to complain, "Your brother-in-law and I now have an annual income of more than 100,000 yuan, it's really difficult to raise a child, diapers are about the same, and you have to throw out 5,000 yuan a year, and you can't throw it away if it's dirty, you have to save when you use it, the milk powder is okay for our family, more than 200 yuan a can, this price is in our place, and it's really willing to call the child!" It's normal for a child to drink a bucket a week, my second girl may be more able to eat, I ate three or four cans in the 20 days of hospitalization, by the way, just to give birth to her, our family spent 100,000 yuan before and after, and the life is really too tight. ”
Chen Yi was stunned and asked: "Raising a child is quite expensive, it's so difficult, why do you have to give birth?"
"If you can't afford to give birth, you have to give birth, everyone around you will give birth, but you won't give birth?" Zhao Li laughed, it seemed that Chen Yi asked a very stupid question, she said undoubtedly, "If you don't give birth, who will provide for you in the future?"
Chen Yi wondered, "Then you can have one less." ”
"Everyone else has two children, but you don't?" Zhao Li asked rhetorically.
Why can't you? Then if someone else gives birth to three, you will also have three?—— Chen Yi asked a question in her mind, but she felt that she was very unfriendly when she said this, after all, Zhao Li worked tirelessly to pick up the airport, although she likes to talk about cars, but she is a kind person, so she should also be kind to her.
Zhao Li sighed and said, "Anyway, you save money, the money that children will spend on kindergarten in the future will be more exaggerated, and the public ones will have to be more than 10,000 a year, and there are Lego classes, English classes, other people's children have gone to school, you can't go to your family, right?"
Chen Yi said: "I don't necessarily have children yet. ”
"Then there will definitely be, how can you be a woman with nothing wrong with you, how can you have no children?" Zhao Li said, "You should do it as soon as possible, it looks more than ten years younger than me, but in fact, we are the same age, women will have children in the end, sooner rather than later." ”
The world is so big, and it is very unscrupulous to say that all women will have children in the end. Chen Yi retorted in her heart, but she just wanted to follow her logic and get rid of her doubts as soon as possible, so she said: "It's my boyfriend who doesn't want children." ”
Zhao Li frowned and shook her head to show that she couldn't understand, "I heard my aunt say, you have to do his 'job', how can there be a man in this world who doesn't get married? What man doesn't want to leave a child? He wants to cut off his own children and grandchildren, and his parents can't agree." ”
The world is so big, of course there are men who don't get married. Chen Yi sighed heavily in her heart, Zhao Li is the kind of person who treats the samples around her as the whole world, she told her with a hint of mischief, "His parents can't do anything if they don't agree, they are in prison, did my mother tell you?"
Zhao Li really opened her mouth wide, was speechless for a long time, and finally said in a sympathetic tone: "Chen Yi, your conditions are not bad, you won't find such a person, right? Do you want my sister to introduce you? Your brother-in-law has many single friends, all of whom are honest people." ”
Just waiting for her sympathy to show, Chen Yi slowly added, "Then if he earns more than my boyfriend, I can consider it, he will earn two million a year, which is not much." ”
Zhao Li was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Huh." sighed, and his tone was quite yin and yang, "Dare to love for money, that's okay." ”

Sending Chen Yi to the door, Zhao Li took out two large bags of fruit from the trunk and wanted to go upstairs with Chen Yi, she hadn't visited her aunt for a long time, "I heard that your mother is very sick." She persuaded while climbing the stairs, "You hurry up and get married, your family is just a precious daughter of you, but you can't be the last here, give birth to a white and chubby grandson, and give your mother Chong Chongxi, maybe she will be cured, you look at your family's genes, the child must be beautiful, and when the time comes, recognize me as a godmother." ”
