001 Immature single dad
Zhang Hao rubbed his face and put some things on the desk into the box. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoZhang Hao, who was holding the box, walked out of this small company without the slightest nostalgia.
It's not that he was fired, but he chose to resign, and there is nothing to be nostalgic for, for Zhang Hao, who needs to make money to support his family, he is not satisfied with his current treatment.
Twenty-four-year-old Zhang Hao is under a lot of pressure and is also very 'self-motivated'.
Because he has experienced a lot of things, because he knows his current responsibilities, including some guilt, he has to work hard, although he knows that he may be a little lazy in his bones.
Put the box in the trunk of your used Ford and drive home.
is getting closer and closer to home, and Zhang Hao is getting happier and more excited and looking forward to it.
Although he had the key, he didn't open the door himself.
"Who?"
As soon as he knocked on the door, he heard a milky voice, and the smile on Zhang Hao's face became brighter and brighter.
"Me!"
"Xiao Zhang is back, grandma!"
Zhang Hao laughed, happy even through the door.
The door was opened, and a chubby little girl ran over with a cheer and hugged Zhang Hao.
Picking up the baby daughter, Zhang Hao smiled and gnawed on the little girl's fleshy little face, and laughed and played with the little girl.
Yu Xiu looked at her son funny, a little distressed and a little satisfied, the youngest son finally grew up.
"Don't make a fuss, go wash your hands and get ready for dinner. ”
Zhang Hao nodded, almost obedient to his mother now, not only because Zhang Hao is generally more filial, but also because he knows that he owes his family too much.
Carried the baby daughter to the living room and let the almost two-year-old girl play by herself, Zhang Hao also went to wash her hands and serve the food in the kitchen by the way.
Zhang Hao, who was holding the dishes, was also chatting with his mother: "Xixi is not well-behaved today?"
Yu Xiu said with a smile: "This little thing doesn't know how much it can coax people, and its little mouth is very sweet." I was on a video with her grandfather just now, and I kept saying that I miss my grandfather and coaxed your dad to death. ”
Zhang Hao smiled and said: "That's really good, I know how to coax Lao Zhang." Didn't you say you didn't want grandpa yesterday, but I missed grandpa in a blink of an eye. ”
The four dishes were quickly served, the rice bowls were also set, and Zhang Hao also saw his baby daughter sitting on the floor playing with toys.
Seeing that the little girl was very focused on playing the game, Zhang Hao asked a little curiously: "Xixi, it's time to eat, what else are you going to do?"
The little girl looked up at her meaty little face and said, "Duck soup, dad eats it!"
Ouch, my heart melts.
Where do I still have the heart to eat now, I sat next to the little girl and watched the little girl fiddle with her toys.
Yu Xiu also laughed and instructed on the side: "Xixi, who will you cook the duck soup for?"
The little girl put a plastic duckling into a small box and said, "Daddy eats." ”
Yu Xiu asked again, "Why do you want to give it to your father?"
The little girl threw the cabbage and eggplant toys into the box and said, "Dad goes to work." ”
Zhang Hao sat on the side with a smile, watching his baby daughter make 'duck soup' seriously, full of happiness, the hardships he has endured in the past two or three years are worth it, because of this cute little girl, because of his baby daughter. Even if the little girl's 'duck soup' can't be eaten, it's worth it.
"Gooo
The little girl covered the box seriously, shook the small box and said seriously.
Laugh and 'drink' the duck soup, then carry the baby girl to the child seat and eat.
During the meal, Zhang Hao said to his mother: "Mom, I resigned, and I will go to a new company in two days, and my salary will increase a little." ”
Yu Xiu glanced at her son and asked, "What kind of job is it?"
Zhang Hao said: "It's still a plan, this time I can get almost 500 US dollars a week." ”
Yu Xiu nodded and said, "That's to make a little more, and I'm going to save more money in the future." It doesn't matter if I take Xixi now, but she's going to go to school when she grows up. Since she's going to school in the U.S., you have to save a little more. ”
Zhang Hao nodded and said, "Well, I know." Mom, I'll take Xixi these days, and you go back to see the boss and Yoyo. Yoyo hasn't seen grandma for half a year, and she must miss grandma. ”
Yu Xiu was a little moved, but still shook his head: "Forget it, you have to go to work in a few days, and I will have two days to go back and forth." I video with Yoyo every day, it doesn't matter. ”
Zhang Hao felt even more guilty, he knew that his mother didn't want to have a granddaughter, nor was she worried about time, but worried about money.
It is precisely because of this that Zhang Hao insisted even more: "Mom, it doesn't matter. I still have some money in my hand, and the video is a video, so it's better than going back. ”
Yu Xiu sighed and said, "Xiao'er, Mom also knows that the video can't compare to going back and watching." The cost of the air ticket alone is more than 10,000 yuan, and your salary is more than a month! We live here, and the expenses are huge, so we can save a little if we can. ”
Zhang Hao was silent, he knew that what his mother said was reality.
The weekly salary is four or five hundred US dollars, which is about two thousand US dollars a month, which is converted into RMB and is a monthly income of more than 10,000 yuan, which seems to be very good.
But this is the United States, San Francisco, and the daily currency here is the US dollar!
In the United States, the income of the middle class is generally about 50,000 US dollars, while the annual income of catering service personnel and farm and ranch employees is about 20,000 US dollars, which is a relatively low income class in the United States.
There is no doubt that Zhang Hao's income in the United States is not abject poor, but it is about the same. Because he is the only one in a family of three who is making money, although his mother is helping him take care of the child and giving birth to a lot of expenses, but the baby daughter is still young now, and there are many places to spend money.
Money is really important, especially after having a daughter and after you need to start supporting your family.
Regret it?
Maybe there is a point that I might have been able to live a good life, but I ruined everything.
I can't talk about regrets, although the past two or three years have been very hard, but with a lovely baby daughter, everything is worth it, the only guilt is to be sorry for my family.
There are two sons in the family, and there is an elder brother who is three years older than him; after graduating from university, the elder brother is working in a certain household appliance brand company, and he is considered a white-collar worker in China, and he also has his own family.
As for Zhang Hao, if he wants to go abroad after graduating from college three years ago, he can indeed come to a good university in the United States to study.
It's just that he was not mature enough at the time, and he was dazzled as soon as he arrived in the United States, and immediately started a relationship with a very beautiful American girl.
Now that I think about it, I am young, ignorant and immature, two young people who have some affection for each other and some curiosity get together, and they don't even think about the long-term future at all.
The girl is pregnant, and it is illegal to have an abortion in the United States, and because the two people who were impulsive at the beginning thought that the future was good, and they were full of anticipation to start a family and work together.
The reality is that girls quickly regret it, and it is not a big deal for some students in the United States to have children, but whether these people have the ability to afford to raise children is another matter.
Xixi's mother chose to go back to college to start her new life, and Zhang Hao, he was really reluctant to give up his baby daughter.
When his ex-girlfriend was pregnant, he was panicked and at a loss, and he didn't know how to explain it to his family. But when his daughter was born, watching the little girl grow up slowly, he knew that he couldn't leave his daughter.
The ex-girlfriend doesn't want children, doesn't want alimony, and chooses to 'leave the house'; of course, it is also because Zhang Hao does not have the ability, and the two of them are completely cut in two.
Xixi's mother left very decisively, and Zhang Hao took his baby daughter to start life.
At this time, Zhang Hao's mother also came to the United States, although she cried and scolded, but she felt sorry for this immature and ignorant little son. Now that the little granddaughter has been born, I must help the little son.
It's not that I haven't thought about returning to China, but Xixi was born in the United States, and he was born with American citizenship. And if you take your daughter back to China, there are still a lot of things to deal with, and it is not convenient.
There is no way to read, because Zhang Hao has to support his family.
It is not particularly easy for some college students in the United States to find a job now, not to mention that Zhang Hao does not have a diploma from an American university; as for China, there is a good university with a bachelor's degree, but the United States does not recognize these.
Her daughter is almost two years old, and Zhang Hao has matured a lot; she can't find a good job, and she can't pick and choose. Take your time, because my daughter needs to be taken care of.
Because of their own immaturity, their parents worked hard; in the past, the family's economic conditions were not bad, and their parents opened a supermarket in a small town.
But there are two sons in the family, and they are both in college, and Zhang Hao is studying abroad, which costs a lot more.
Because of Zhang Hao's immaturity, the money in the family is basically gone.
I'm sorry for my parents, but I also dragged down my brother, my brother's mortgage didn't help at all, and the down payment was saved by my brother and sister-in-law.
Originally, my mother was in Shanghai to help my brother take care of the children, but because of Zhang Hao's incident, my mother could only come to the United States, where she was unfamiliar with her life and could not speak well.
The elder brother also complained and scolded the immature brother, but he didn't care much about the reasonable sister-in-law.
Zhang Hao knew very well that he was sorry for his family, and he also knew very well that he had ruined what might have been a good future.
But if you want to say regret, you can't talk about it, because this pink, chubby little girl in his arms, looking at the cute appearance of his baby daughter, Zhang Hao knows that everything is worth it, and he also knows that he must be more mature, because he is all about his baby daughter, he needs to take care of his baby daughter, and do his best!
