Chapter VIII
Nie Guangrong once again proposed the idea of travel to Xiuqin, and this time Xiuqin agreed, and even took out the 900 yuan that her grandfather left for her grandson-in-law. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Xiuqin knows that Nie Guangrong has paid too much for himself and endured too much, even this trip is for himself, the family has no money, but he can't lack happiness, he was unhappy before, but people can't be unhappy all the time, now everyone wants to be happy, everyone wants to make themselves happy, and they also want to be happy, so they can't not be happy because they don't have money. Xiuqin gave 900 yuan to Nie Guangrong, and specially instructed Nie Guangrong to give the money to Ai Xiangqian, because she knew that Nie Guangrong didn't want to owe anyone, but from the time when his grandfather was sick and hospitalized, to cremation, and then to conditioning himself, Nie Guangrong has opened his mouth to Ai Xiangqian many times for the sake of his family, Nie Guangrong is poor, but he always emphasizes that poverty also requires backbone, and this trip can no longer let Nie Guangrong lose his backbone again because of his family and lack of money.
At this point, the two families started a trip to Yunnan, they visited Yuxi, and appreciated what is the stacked green peaks and ancient Yunnan, and the clouds and smoke and jade liquid are drunk with immortals; Climbed the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, and realized that the clouds covered the Jade Dragon Peak, and the secluded pine wind swept the wilderness. The glacier is silent and squeamish, snow-covered with smiles; After visiting Dali, I suddenly felt that the relics of the Tang and Song dynasties appeared, and the vicissitudes of history remained; I also went to the stone forest, and I felt that the earth's crust was extended hundreds of millions of years ago, and the strange stones were colorful. The peak returns to the forest and the sea of thousands of postures, and the road turns to the maze of immortals. A trip to Yunnan completely lit up Nie Guangrong and Xiuqin, they couldn't believe that the outside world was so beautiful, they didn't dare to imagine that they were living in such a beautiful world, and suddenly they remembered their hometown, the flowers and plants in their hometown were actually very beautiful, but they had been tired of making a living in the past, ignoring too much beauty and missing too many scenery. How big is people's hearts, how wide their horizons are, they used to only stare in front of them, thinking about firewood, rice, oil and salt, sighing all day long that there is no money, and they are also stuck in the quagmire of inferiority, cowardice, and sadness. Nine times out of ten, everything is unsatisfactory, but you must know how to let go, and if you can't let go, it means that the injury is not deep enough, and you can't wait until the injury is thorough to let go. More than half a month has passed, and the two families have ended their trip to Yunnan, and when they left, everyone was reluctant to give up, and they fell in love here.
After returning from Yunnan, Ai Xiangqian asked Nie Guangrong to quit his job in the cement factory, saying that he had arranged for someone to teach Nie Guangrong to drive, and was ready to transfer Nie Guangrong to the Public Security Bureau as a driver through his relationship, but when he asked about the treatment, Nie Guangrong said no, because compared with loading a car and carrying cement, although it is easy and spirited, it earns more than 50 yuan less per month. Ai Xiangqian: "Big brother, 50 yuan?" Do you know how many times a month a public car has to be repaired? How many times a month do you need to refuel? How many times a year do I need to replace the handlebar cover and seat cushion? Do public cars break down often? How many kilometers do you think that car can run? Do you know the relationship between the driver and the selling of handles and cushions? Don't say 50 yuan, any driver who drives a bus, 500 yuan is not in his eyes, glorious, if you come to our bureau, I will help you introduce you and drive for the director, I don't have this ability, because the director's driver is his nephew, but to drive for Deputy Director Liu, I am confident to help you do it. Do you know that Deputy Director Liu is in charge of personnel, you have a good relationship with him, and you can't lose you during the New Year's holidays, don't underestimate the driver, I saw that the drivers of the White Bureau are all inferior. But the more Ai Xiangqian said, the more Nie Guangrong didn't want to do it, he didn't bend his waist board every day carrying dozens of tons of cement, and he wanted to make himself tend to be attached to the situation for money, which was absolutely impossible, in Nie Guangrong's dictionary, there was no speculation, no taking advantage of others, and it was impossible to deceive people and steal tricks. He is still willing to work, relying on his own strength, feeling that he eats and sleeps soundly like this. Seeing that Nie Guangrong insisted on not going, Ai Xiangqian continued: "If you don't go, forget it, I also found a job for my sister-in-law, and the place of work is far away, on the outskirts of the city." A friend opened a factory there, and there is a lack of a warehouse keeper with quick hands and feet and a strong sense of responsibility, the work is very easy, and the salary is also good, which is much better than my sister-in-law working in a restaurant" Nie Guangrong felt good, and asked Ai Xiangqian to help keep this job, and was ready to discuss with Xiuqin, and then make a final decision. Nie Guangrong told Xiuqin about finding a job, Xiuqin immediately agreed, and felt very proud, in fact, she has always wanted to do something, help share the pressure of the family, it doesn't matter how hard and tired the work is, as long as you can make money, everything doesn't matter. Xiuqin asked Nie Guangrong to finalize the matter immediately, she couldn't wait to go to work.
From home to the suburbs of the factory a total of 10 kilometers, the bus to sit 15 stops, cycling also takes 40 minutes, Xiuqin is reluctant to spend money every day to take the bus, and there is no money to buy a bicycle to ride, she chooses to walk, every day to run and bump 3 hours, for this reason, Xiuqin has to get up at 4 o'clock in the morning every day, wash and cook, come out of the house at 4 o'clock, walk for 3 hours, to the unit at 7 o'clock, gasp evenly, and then change into finished clothes, just eight o'clock, even if it is windy and rainy, there is no complaint. It's the same at night, every day when I get home at eight or nine o'clock in the evening. Nie Guangrong persuaded Xiuqin to stop doing it many times, but Xiuqin was always surprised and said: "Why don't you do it, I'm very happy!" How good it is to walk and exercise every day to and from work! Not only do you have to do it, but you have to do it for a long time, you can carry cement, what is it if I walk a few steps? ”
More than a month has passed in a blink of an eye, and as soon as Xiuqin got home from work at night, Nie Guangrong said, "Let's have a child too?" Xiuqin was stunned: "Want a child?" You think I don't want it? But if it's really going to be on, what are we going to raise? You also know the current situation of our family, we have to go to work every day, even if we have saved enough money to raise children, we don't have time to take care of them, your parents' family is in the countryside, and they are old, you can't count on them, even if they help us take care of the children, where do you live? Seeing that we are living so hard, can your parents be happy? Wait, in a few years, if conditions permit, let's build a baby. "But..." Xiuqin asked, "But Ai Xiangxiang's Bai Yan is pregnant, it's been exactly a month, and it is estimated that she should have been pregnant when we went to Yunnan, and now the whole family is happy, we are alive, what are we living?" Isn't it just for the sake of children and grandchildren, passing on the torch? I, Nie Guangrong, have no ability, but I want to have a son, I want him to have a career and make him stand out. "Anyway, Nie Guangrong regretted it, he was afraid that what he said would be too serious and hurt Xiuqin, what Xiuqin said also made sense, maybe wait, it would be beneficial to himself, his family, and his children, and then he said: "Xiuqin, I don't listen to what I said just now, listen to you, wait and see, let's have a good child......" Lying on the bed at night, Xiuqin also made a total mistake in her heart, Bai Yan was pregnant, she was pregnant when she was in Yunnan, and she didn't have a period this month, so she wouldn't be pregnant. Thinking of this, Xiuqin was not sleepy, she looked forward to hurrying to dawn so that she could go to the hospital to see. Early the next morning, Xiuqin still got up early as usual, and then walked more than ten kilometers to work in the trading factory, but after cooking at noon, Xiuqin asked for leave from the workshop director, saying that her husband was sick and hospitalized and wanted to take care of her. In this way, Xiuqin walked more than ten kilometers back to the city, registered in the obstetrics and gynecology department of the city hospital, the doctor took the pulse, and handed Xiuqin a test strip to let her go to the toilet to dip some urine, and when Xiuqin came back with the test strip, the doctor took a look at it and said continuously: "This female comrade, you are going to be a mother, congratulations." Xiuqin was stunned, and it took a long time to come to her senses, she didn't know whether she was happy or emotional, her head was buzzing, and she had mixed feelings in her heart. Before 5 o'clock, Xiuqin arrived home, Nie Guangrong hadn't come back yet, Xiuqin went into the kitchen, made a few dishes and waited for Nie Guangrong to come home, and told him that I don't know if it was good or bad news. At this time, someone knocked on the door, and Xiuqin thought it was Nie Guangrong back, right? It is impossible for Nie Guangrong to knock on the door when he comes back, does he know that he is at home? Xiuqin opened the door and found that it was Ai Xiangqian and Bai Yan, two people holding fruits, flowers, and a few bags of milk powder. "What are you doing here? Who's what's wrong? Xiuqin asked eagerly. Sister-in-law, don't hide it from us, the director of your factory workshop is my friend, and he told me about Brother Guangrong's hospitalization, sister-in-law, what's wrong with my eldest brother? At this time, Xiuqin remembered that she had asked for leave at noon in the name of Nie Guangrong's illness and hospitalization, but she didn't expect it to reach Ai Xiangqian. Just wanted to explain, Nie Guangrong came back from work, and seeing that everyone was there, he was also confused. Xiuqin invited Nie Guangrong and Ai Xiangqian's family to the house, served the food, and recounted the day's experience while eating. When he heard that Xiuqin was pregnant, Nie Guangrong stopped the dishes and chopsticks, jumped up, like a hero who had won a battle, slapped his chest, and shouted excitedly: "I'm a father!" I'm Nie Guangrong as a father! Ai Xiangqian and Bai Yan were also very happy. Xiuqin just wanted to express her concerns, Nie Guangrong continued: "Wife, we can afford it, don't worry, I can afford to smash the pot and sell iron, even if I dig my heart and sell meat, I don't have to add up anything, the sky can't fall!" Without waiting for Ai Xiangqian to speak, Bai Yan expressed her attitude directly: "My sister-in-law is pregnant, and I just happen to be pregnant, we are double happiness, Brother Nie and our family are good brothers, Sister Xiuqin and I are also good sisters, we are all a family, if there is any need, the eldest brother and sister-in-law should mention it, our two families will work together, what difficulties cannot be passed!" After listening to Bai Yan's words, Nie Guangrong's heart was full of heat, what is true friend, what is true affection, this is not only the promise made by Ai Xiangqian's family to Nie Guangrong's family, but also the promise made by the rich to the poor, the promise that makes people see the light, the promise that makes people feel warm, and the promise that the lowest level of society dare not reach.
