Chapter 22 Vacation
Li Mengze originally thought that there was no one at home, so he wandered around for most of the day, estimating that the women were about to get off work before leaving his mother-in-law's house. But as soon as he entered the door, he found that there were actually people, which made him very puzzled, could it be that they were also affected by themselves and often absent from work, but Liu Yun was not at home! It took a closer look to understand it.
Su Qianyun and Sima Xiaoyu haven't gone to work for nearly a month, and both of them have taken leave, of course, because their bodies are no longer suitable for hard work, not that they are not good at doing it now, but because their stomachs have begun to bulge, and the winter has passed, they can't cover it anymore, in order to keep the secret from leaking, mainly because they are afraid of trouble, so they took long-term sick leave. For some reason, they decided not to tell the man, who was inexperienced and naturally neglected the past. At that moment, the two women were overjoyed, and surrounded him to ask long and short questions, both like and worry, happy and shy; And someone is holding left and right, beautiful and happy, lying on the left belly for a while to listen, and then going to the right. Both women are 6 months pregnant, this period is a critical period for the development of the fetus, so the family bought a lot of books, a lot of nutritious food, and one of the topics of their sisters every night is how to take care of the child, and of course now it has been decided to let someone participate in it.
Listening to the introduction of the woman's left and right sentences, Li Mengze's heart can be said to have overturned the five-flavor bottle, and there are all kinds of tastes, both happy and worried. The happy thing is that now he is a father, his cousins, whether they are older than him or younger than him, are already fathers, even his cousins are already mothers, and now he can at least explain to his parents; And none of his classmates seem to have given birth to children yet, so his children are at least the first to be born, if not the first, and of course he feels that his face is bright. But what worries him is, what to do with this child, and it seems that in the near future, there will definitely be more than these two children in the family, and now even Zhang Xiaoqing is a little weird, that is, maybe within this year, he will have at least 4 children, how can he deal with it? The reason for his worries is that he has not liked children since he was a child, and he has never hugged any of his nephews and nieces, and whenever he sees them crying, he has a headache, gets angry, and wants to run away, including those children who call him cousins; And until now, he has not reached out to hug his little nephew, his sister's youngest son. Of course, his sister knew her brother's habits, and didn't expect anything from him, but now it was different. First of all, this is his own child, not someone else's family, and he doesn't care who else can take care of it; Second, he never said to any of his women that their husbands did not like children, and especially did not like to raise children; Third, he never showed the meaning of "let's not have children now", and he seems to have directly contributed to the happening; Fourth, since there are two children and there is about to be a fourth, then six women, does it mean that the sixth child is not wanted, it is estimated that no one will agree, especially the woman who may be the last to get pregnant, often show childishness, and have already expressed her liking for children. "Hey, what should I do"? The person concerned was not interested at all, and his face was sad, which was not at all the mood he was in when he got off the train, and it was very different from the ecstatic mood he felt as soon as he entered the house. While accompanying the bitter gourd face to the two women, he estimated whether it would be a "non-stop"? How can we divert the attention of women, and how can we remove the burden from our shoulders?
Everyone who came back from work couldn't hide the surprise in their hearts, they were already surprised by this man's performance, and knew that it must be "homesick, boring at work, so they asked for leave". After all, the attachment between men and women, the person concerned understands best, as far as his habits are concerned, if he does not come back for two months, then they will definitely guess, "Is there a beautiful mm there", "Is there something wrong with him", "Is there an accident with the company, can't leave"...... But no one would think that he didn't go home because he was working hard, and this was their basic understanding and evaluation of him.
Li Mengze didn't dare to show any views on this important matter of the family, nor did he dare to express his opinion, but said, "It's too early to talk about this issue, wait for everyone to calm down, and then discuss what to do, of course, let's listen to the opinions of your mothers-in-law first." In short, we are mainly ourselves, mainly absorbing and accepting the suggestions of our mothers-in-law, and appropriately adopting other solutions from rich families." Everyone felt that there was no excuse to refute his high-sounding reasons, and some even felt that their man was thoughtful.
Li Mengze's time for leave was in mid-April, and the vacation was half a month, so that he could take the "May Day" long holiday, so he took a total of 22 days off this time. This made Liu Yun very envious, and even begged the eldest sister to give her another case, but Jing Wen did not agree, and the little girl went to work unhappily, but asked the man to pick her up every day to commute to work. Chen Haili has also found a job, and now her motivation is not bad, the company she works for is the same line as Liu Yun, and it is farther away than them, so after Su Qianyun took leave, Liu Yun still couldn't drive by herself, and Chen Haili drove her to and from work every day, which also made her quite dissatisfied, but helpless.
After sending Liu Yun to the company, there were only two people left in the car, Chen Haili and Li Mengze, because it was still early for the woman to go to work, the two of them talked about some of their own things. After all, she has lived in G State for more than 20 years, and G State is a place she knows and cares about, where there are many people who care about her and her concern, and he has just returned from G State and from the people related to her.
"Did you call home and tell them what was going on?" Li Mengze opened his mouth first, he wanted to understand the situation of women, after all, there are some things that cannot be forgotten, and he also wants to get more information from women, the matter between them involves the issue of family identity, which cannot be easily solved.
"No, I didn't call home; However, I told Sister Yang Hua some information, and no one else said. The woman whispered, not knowing his thoughts, not understanding how he would react, and afraid that he would think too much, she was still a little worried about her status!
"What did she say, what did she say?" Li Mengze didn't care about the woman's carefulness, he was just interested in some things.
"I just said that I found you, and now I have a job in B-Beijing, and I told her my mobile phone number, and I didn't say anything else." The woman replied cautiously, observing his reaction as she spoke.
"She asked if you were with me, didn't you ask about our current relationship?" Li Mengze seemed to pay more attention to Yang Hua's reaction, and then asked, "Didn't she ask how you found me, didn't she ask me if I fell in love with you?" ”
"She didn't ask, I didn't say, she didn't ask that." Chen Haili's voice became lower and lower, and gradually became inaudible.
"You did a good job, there are two things you did well, first, I didn't say that you found me in Xixing Company, this matter, no one should tell me, we have to try to hide the relationship with Xixing, they can only guess, but they can't be sure, especially can't get our personal affirmation, if they ask, they just say they don't know, saying that you don't care about these things. The second point is that we didn't say our true relationship, and we can only say this to our parents in the future, and we can't tell outsiders, and no one can say it. However, there is also something wrong with you. Li Mengze comforted the woman, he knew that the woman had not completely let go now, and was still binding herself, because this was not what she should be, and it was obviously different from when she was in Gzhou. Then he added, "Anyway, you should tell your father, just say that you have found a job in B-capital, and find a chance to tell him to be obedient." ”
"I, I'm ......" the woman slurred, looking at him with a somewhat excited expression.
"Silly girl, I ask you this, not to reproach you, but to worry that you will accidentally say something you shouldn't say; If you really say it, it's nothing, after all, we won't be able to hide it for long, and there is nothing to be afraid of. Also, I just want to unify the caliber, you don't know, I face my father every day, I don't know the bottom of my heart, and the taste is really uncomfortable. Li Mengze explained, comforting the woman.
"You won't embarrass Dad! …… You can embarrass him, who told him to ignore me? ”
"It's good if he doesn't embarrass me, he's the general manager, I'm the vice president, but I don't have much power. We are children, and it is appropriate to respect the elderly, after all, it is my father-in-law. However, your husband is not good at stubble and is not easy to mess with, so don't be afraid that your husband will suffer, just like this time. Li Mengze shouted grievances while giving himself a strong voice.
"What's the matter, he's going to embarrass you?" Chen Haili asked nervously, for fear that his father would not be good for him, this time Li Mengze came back and didn't say what happened, and everyone thought that he was fine, after all, he used to ask for leave often.
"Rest assured, nothing happened." Li Mengze hurriedly clarified his "grievances", and then explained the situation that day, it seems that he has really been planning for a long time.
Chen Haili really put her mind at ease, not only because he was childish and funny, but also happy for him to play tricks on his father so much, and her mood was relaxed, but she kept making bad comments about men, "It's really a scoundrel."
"So don't worry, this half-month leave is allowed by General Manager Chrysostom, and it must have been signed a long time ago." Li Mengze was a little carried away, "We can extend the vacation a little longer, you say, am I not good?" ”
Li Mengze is ambitious, but he likes to be relaxed the most, he is a person who is unwilling to work hard, and always hopes that others will charge for him, but he hides under the tree to blow the cool breeze; He is willing to show it from time to time, showing that he still has some ability, it's not that he hasn't done anything, he just doesn't want to stare at it every day. So he's now a very idle person in their family, and a very busy person. Talk to a woman, go to the hospital to talk to your father, and ask your mother-in-law for advice. Of course, at the request of some people, he also took the two women back to their parents' house to see what their precious daughter had been made of by his hateful son-in-law!
Li Mengze feels very funny and interesting now, and he is very happy in his heart. When Su Qianyun's parents saw their son-in-law with two women (one of whom was their daughter with a slight bulge in the belly) coming to visit them, they really felt all kinds of tastes in their hearts, and they were even more surprised by his boldness, this kid openly brought two women to look at them, and it was still two women with a straight stomach. The mother-in-law was angry, liked and distressed, of course, the two daughters were treated the same, while teaching the two little women who were about to become mothers, while muttering to herself, hoping that her daughter would be happy. On the other side, the two men began a conversation between the men.
"Ah Yun has been pregnant for so long before she came to tell us?" The old father-in-law didn't have a good face for him, and when he saw his daughter suffering, he got angry.
"I wanted to tell you sooner, but do I dare? Something that Qianyun is not sure of, generally speaking, I will not do. He knew that his old father-in-law was finding fault, and he didn't know now that his daughter was pregnant. Of course, he wants to push the blame.
"Don't dare? It's all done, what else do you dare not do, you kid is bold enough. Why, do you want to go to one? ”
"I don't dare to be sloppy in this matter, although I hide it from others, but I don't hide it at all from you, it's not a question of daring or not, it's a question of whether you should or shouldn't; If you didn't agree to us, the baby would have been born, and we would have told you. ”
"How to raise children, do you know?" The old father-in-law didn't dwell on this unclear issue with him.
"It's not easy to raise, I've thought about it, first of all, the eldest and the second are to be distinguished, which should be counted from the day their mother became pregnant, and give you a letter, your grandson is the boss. Second, the issue of addressing, the biological mother is called 'mother', and everyone else is called 'mother'. Third, we haven't raised it, and we can't ask someone to raise it, at least not now, you won't care! Li Mengze had already prepared his words, he knew that this matter would definitely be asked!
"What about you, whether you ask or not? Is there a dad like you? "The old father-in-law is a little angry, this kid, he has said so much, none of them were done by himself, and he has given it to others, how can he be his grandson's father.
"I don't care, I still rely on them to serve me when I'm old. You are not an outsider, let me tell you one thing, Qianyun and they don't know yet, I don't like children at all since I was a child, to be precise, I am afraid of them. As soon as I'm with them, I have a headache and bad things. You can't let my energy go on and my business will get worse and worse! Who will feed their mother and son? Li Mengze cried with a sad face, looking sincere and pitiful.
"Who knows if what you said is true or not, it's too late for us to get angry, and we'll help you?" The old man obviously didn't want to believe it, although he had begun to accept the reality, but from the habit, he didn't have much of a good impression of him, and because of his daughter's face, he didn't have a seizure, so he still wanted to believe his nonsense.
"In that case, the right to name the child belongs to you, and I have given up this important right to be a father." Li Mengze drew the last hole card.
"Why, can't I give my grandson's name yet?" The father-in-law seemed a little angry, but was also interested in this power.
"That's not easy to say, you count how many competitors you have. I'll do the math for you, first of all, I'm his father, then his mother, and then how many mothers he has. And one more oh, isn't his grandfather very competitive? You say, Dad. Li Mengze snapped his fingers and counted them one by one to show the other party, and at the same time used this to hit the other party's self-confidence.
"He alone can name everything!" The father-in-law is clearly on fire and angry at his unfair treatment.
"Of course it doesn't make sense for my dad to do that, but can he name this one and not anything else? What do you say, Daddy! Li Mengze's hippie smile seemed to have settled on the other party, and he didn't worry about him not letting go.
"If you smile like this again, I won't promise you anything." After some consideration, the old man finally compromised, but still reprimanded him, at least to vent the anger in his heart.
"But there is one thing that I have to make clear first, if it is a twin, one on each side."
The father-in-law stared at him for a while, saw that he was serious, and did not look compromised at all, and finally, nodded, which was considered acquiescence.
Almost the same thing happened at Sima Xiaoyu's house, and the situation was exactly the same. The same situation, the same words, make someone more handy, the effect is very significant. The result, of course, was satisfactory to both parties, and of course, another poor man's naming rights were traded away by someone. "It's miserable, it's not taken seriously!" Before leaving, the men carried the women behind their backs to reiterate the seriousness of the previous agreement, which puzzled the three women and left them with a lot of questions.
On the way back to Beijing from Sima Xiaoyu's mother's house, Li Mengze couldn't help but be complacent, and later, under the questioning of the two daughters, he finally told the deal with his father-in-law, which made the women cry and laugh. Everyone was angry and amused by his actions, touched by the love of his parents, and rejoiced that the problem of raising the child was finally solved. However, what made them even more amused was Li Mengze's words, "Originally, in order to appease their hearts, I had to let them name their children." This made people who heard this later, some people couldn't cry and laughed, and some shook their heads and smiled bitterly.
