The summer solstice can't be said to be unexpected, it's just uncomfortable. This had been foreshadowed for a long time, but she was always inexplicably optimistic, thinking that they would never come to the step of divorce.

Xiao Yiqing asked Xia Zhi to accompany her to find a rental house near No. 6 Middle School. It stands to reason that she could apply for a dormitory from the school, but she didn't want to.

In the future, I will take Bei Bei alone, and her marital status will be known by her colleagues sooner or later, so let's talk about it later. At least for now, she doesn't want to accept any mercy.

After looking at several listings, Xiao Yiqing chose a small two-bedroom apartment in Anxin Garden, which is only a fifteen-minute walk from No. 6 Middle School, and the area is not too small, with nearly 60 square meters, which is old.

Xiao Yiqing has no choice, she has to go to work and take care of the children alone, she wants a house close to the school, but the new house with good conditions in this key school district is too expensive and she can't afford it. After weighing it, she rented this old staircase house, and planned to change houses when Bei Bei was older.

After the accommodation problem was solved, she asked her parents to send Bei Bei back to Nanzhou, and the two elders also stayed in Nanzhou for more than a month, until they thought that the mother and daughter had settled down before returning to Yeyang.

Xiao Yiqing's financial pressure is not very great, every month, Cheng You's child support fee to Bei Bei will be hit into her card on time, and she uses the money to pay Bei Bei's custody fee. Every morning, I send Bei Bei to the custodian aunt's house in the same community, and pick her up after work in the evening to buy vegetables and then pick her up.

Bei Bei is young, but she is a caring little padded jacket, except for occasionally hiding the items at home and knocking over a water cup or something, she is not very naughty.

Every other week, Cheng You will come and take Bei Bei out for a day. Xiao Yiqing usually doesn't go along, this is the time their father and daughter get along, and it is also her personal time, she will watch movies and go shopping, or sleep at home without interruption without going anywhere.

Compared to the average single mother, she feels that she is too easy - life is so simple that it can't be simpler.

Of course, her luck comes from Cheng You being a responsible father, otherwise, it would still be difficult for a person to take care of a child alone in a first-tier city like Nanzhou.

Whether their marriage survived or not, he was a good father, and once, a very good husband, she would not deny it. That is, no matter what, Xiao Yiqing feels that it is good for the child or for herself, and the influence still exists.

On a Sunday in June 2015, Xiao Yiqing and Xia Zhi sat in the open-air café in the top city of Vientiane, and she said to Xia Zhi: "If you are not sure about your life, it is better not to have children." ”

Xia Zhi rarely stirred a cup of lemon tea, twisted his eyebrows and said, "Don't think so, it's not fair to the child, she comes, just love her well." ”

"Of course. I mean you. Xiao Yiqing said that at this moment, Bei Bei should be participating in an early education activity with Cheng You.

Xia Zhi scoffed, she and Han Junxi have been married for a year and a half, and they are not so tired, but the relationship is still stable, she will not deliberately think that the two will be separated, but what to say for a lifetime, she always feels very ethereal, probably she has never been very confident in her feelings.

She feels that life is all about going according to her life. Two months ago, she had begun to quit drinking and coffee and taking folic acid under He Yan's birth spell, and she didn't have a particularly strong urge to have children, but she just thought that the time had come.

When she got up the next day after seeing Xiao Yiqing, her limbs were weak and her abdomen was slightly stuffy.

"Are you sick?" Han Junxi asked her, putting his forehead against her forehead, "No, the body temperature seems to be normal." What about thermometers? You measure it again. ”

She pushed him away and said, "It's nothing, maybe my aunt is coming soon." ”

"That's fine. You remember to dress warmly, don't drink cold, I have something to do today, and I have reported back to the club in advance. He stroked her cheek, hung up his camera and hurried out.

She went into the bathroom and opened the mirror cabinet to get a pan pad for precaution, when she caught a glimpse of the pregnancy test stick placed next to it. I couldn't help but move in my heart: Count the days, menstruation may have been delayed, but it can't be a few days, but after all, it hasn't come yet.

Is it possible? They haven't had contraception for two months. Han Junxi half-jokingly and half-seriously told her that if she doesn't give birth again, she really wants to be an elderly mother.

She talked to Han Junxi about this issue and wanted to go with the flow.

"If I really can't get pregnant, I will agree to a divorce." What she means is that she won't suffer Xiao Yiqing's kind of sin in order to have a child.

Her seriousness attracted his scolding: "Did I marry you to renew the incense?" For the sake of the next generation of genes, I should find a young and beautiful person. ”

“…… Get lost! ”

Even though it was a joke, her heart warmed faintly.

After two years of marriage, there are constant small fights, his vinegar jar is not ordinarily small, and his financial management ability is not ordinarily weak, which always makes her feel that the two of them are not in the wrong place.

He demanded that she strictly enforce the rule of "not having too much contact with the opposite sex", and it was up to him to determine whether it was "too much". Sometimes she finds this request a bit vexatious.

She had to accept his irregular phone calls, leave home alone on non-working days, report to him on her whereabouts, be sure to return home at the promised time, and have to quit drinking — the last one was added when the two were discussing having children, which was reasonable.

Too much discipline annoyed her a little, but because her life is not complicated, it is not difficult to do, and the two do not quarrel much in this regard.

What makes the two disagree more is the inconsistency of the concept of consumption, he is still the same as before marriage, he has to buy what he likes, and he doesn't consider whether he can use it.

Xia Zhi not only sighed, if it wasn't for Han's mother who asked him to pay part of his salary to save money to buy a wedding house before marriage, it is estimated that they would still not be able to afford a house now.

At this point, Xia Zhi is also very grateful to Han's mother, and her mother-in-law supports her in controlling the family's finances, so that although she often has a headache in her head when she calculates accounts, and she will also be annoyed by the palm that he stretched out at the end of the month after spending money indiscriminately, the quality of life at home is still stumbling and spiraling.

She didn't have any major worries, and the raising and mutual damage between the two became a kind of spice for life.

If...... If you add a child, it will probably be more fun.

Xia Zhi put the finished pregnancy test stick in the corner of the toilet floor, anyway, she had to wait, she took advantage of this time to brush her teeth and wash her face.

In the mirror, there was a white bubble hanging from the corner of his mouth, and the mouthwash did not wash the foam away. She scooped a handful of water from under the faucet with her fingers, wiped the corners of her mouth, and looked up a little, only to notice that the corners of her eyes were extended, as if there was a thin line that was not easy to detect.

Is that a wrinkle? She...... How old is it? Suddenly thinking of this question, she was stunned, and it took several seconds to remember her birth date.

She is about a month old and 31 years old, does a woman in her early 30s have wrinkles?

She turned her face to the mirror a little closer, her fingertips running over the corners of her eyes.

- Hey, if you're old, you'll be old, she's young, and who won't be old. What's more, she is also spoiled by an old man, and everyone does not dislike each other.

She straightened herself away from the mirror, wiped the water off her face with a towel, hung up the towel, and crouched down to look at the pregnancy test in the corner of the room.
