"Jingle Bell"

Wednesday, November 1, 2017 at 6 a.m.

In a master bedroom of 1602 in a high-rise residential community in the high-tech zone of H City, a rapid alarm woke the sleeping hostess and the male host from their sleep.

The man habitually turned over to the right side of the bed in a daze, and continued to fall asleep. The hostess, on the other hand, immediately got up and washed up, plunged into the kitchen and began to get busy.

Half an hour later, the hostess went to the master bedroom as usual, opened the door gently, lay down on the side of the bed, and gently called out to the sleeping man on the bed, "Honey, get up." ”

And the person in the bed, as always, did not react.

The next second, I saw the corners of the hostess's mouth rise slightly, and then I saw her hand holding the mobile phone, leaning next to the ear of the sleeping person on the bed, and then turned on the QQ music with her other hand and played passionate rock music.

In an instant, the shocking and trembling music filled people's eardrums all at once, and I saw that the sleeping man on the bed immediately sat up from the bed with a displeased face, rubbing his sleepy eyes, as if a conditioned reflex, and couldn't help but babble to the hostess: "Gu Xiaodi, do you have a hole in your brain?" Waking people up like this in the morning scares people to death. ”

I saw that the hostess seemed to have eaten the man who was still complaining on the bed, and did not pay attention to his dissatisfaction, but immediately said: "Hao Yi, it will be the morning rush hour soon." If you are late, then there will be no parking space after arriving at the company, and then your car will be parked at the gate of the company, and the inevitable result of parking at the gate of the company is to eat a ticket. Do you want to spend a hundred and fifty oceans on your bed of two cents? ”

In the next second, I saw that the man on the bed instantly seemed to be enchanted, opened his small thin and long eyes, looked at the woman standing by the bed and asked, "What time is it?" ”

"At 6:45, fifteen minutes before the morning rush hour of 7:00." The woman standing by the bed replied with a smile on her face.

"Oh." The man nodded to himself, and then hurried out of bed and ran towards the bathroom.

The woman looked at the man's back, and a meaningful smile appeared on her face, which seemed to say, "Xiaoxiao, I have a trick up my sleeve to get you up." ”

--

She watched as the man entered the bathroom, and she hurried to a room diagonally opposite the master bedroom.

She also gently pushed open the door to the room, revealing a children's bedroom in blue and white tones.

I saw a water-blue car bed in the center of the room, and under the water-blue pale down quilt on the bed, there was a little man who was sleeping soundly.

To the left of the bed was a row of off-white wardrobes embedded in the wall; On the right side of the bed is a set of children's liftable study tables and chairs with blue background and white faces, and some children's books are placed on the bookshelf of the desk; Next to the desk, there is also a white electronic digital piano.

The hostess glanced at the little man curled up under the blue quilt on the car bed with a peaceful face, and then went straight to the window, gently opened the water blue curtains, and turned back to the water blue car bed with a kind face, and slowly squatted down.

She looked at the little man who was still asleep on the bed, first kissed his forehead dotingly, and then gently stroked his cheek and shouted softly: "Baby, get up, I'm going to be late for school." ”

In the next second, I saw that the little person sleeping in the children's bed also habitually turned over to the other side of the bed, and then fell asleep again.

The hostess standing by the bed saw the reaction of the person on the bed, and couldn't help but muttered with the corners of her mouth slightly raised: "He Hao is one virtue." ”

She then bent down and gently lifted the small body on the bed, and gently changed him into a set of thick kindergarten uniforms, and then gently picked him up and walked straight to the bathroom.

Walking to the mirror in the bathroom, she gently stroked the little man lying on her shoulder and said, "Baby, mom is starting to count the numbers, I will put you on the ground when I count to three, are you ready?" ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the little man in her arms rubbing her eyes sleepily, and then she woke up and grinned at the hostess.

The hostess looked at the little man and smiled, and then without counting, she placed the little man on the empty floor in front of the washstand.

This is her pattern of waking the little man up every morning.

While helping the little man squeeze the toothpaste, she frowned slightly as if she remembered something important, and shouted to the person in the living room who was gobbling up breakfast: "Hao Yiyi, you eat slowly, you look at your phone, it's still early." ”

Then, there was a dissatisfied cry from the people in the living room: "Gu Xiaodi, did you do it on purpose?" It's only 6:35 a.m. ”

"Yes, I just deliberately said the wrong time, I just wanted you to have breakfast with Hao Tong. Then, you're in charge of sending him to school this morning, and I have a regular meeting at the company this morning, and I'm going to leave first. The hostess said as she stroked her shoulder-length hair.

At this time, the man who was sitting at the dining table with an unhappy face, after hearing her words, suddenly put down the chopsticks in his hand, and then paused for a second, and then looked in the direction of the bathroom with a mocking expression on his face and said, "What regular meeting?" I think your mind is really confused, didn't you finish all the resignation procedures yesterday? To be exact, from today onwards, you are already a vagrant, Ms. Gu Xiaodi. ”

The woman who was applying lotion to her standard goose egg face in front of the mirror in the bathroom suddenly froze when she heard the man's words.

She looked at the energetic face in the mirror, and then looked at the little person next to her and said with a dumb smile: "Yes, from today onwards, I don't have to go to work, I am a pure unemployed vagrant." ”

"Mom, what is a vagrant?" After the little man who was brushing his teeth heard the woman's words, he stopped his movements and blinked a pair of innocent big eyes, looked at the woman and asked curiously.

"In the future, the mother can accompany the baby every day. Starting tomorrow, the baby can get up an hour late every morning as before, and then every day the mother will be responsible for sending the baby into the kindergarten and picking up the baby from school. Baby? The hostess looked at the little man dotingly and said.

"Happy, great." When the little man heard the woman's explanation, he shouted excitedly.

"I'm done, I'm going to work." At that time, I only heard the lukewarm voice of a man in the living room.

"Okay, husband, drive slowly on the road." The woman habitually admonished again in the direction of the parlor.

The only thing that responded to her was a "bang" sound of the door closing.

--

She is the mistress of this family, named Gu Xiaodi, and has a six-year-old son named Hao Tong, who is in the kindergarten class.

She has just reached her thirties this year, and her future is bright, but there are unforeseen circumstances.

Two months ago, her mother-in-law, who had been taking care of her children for a long time, accidentally tripped over a stone on the way to pick up Hao Tong from school, and as a result, she fell out of a half-body paralysis, and now she can only sit in a wheelchair and be taken care of by her father-in-law in her hometown.

This sudden change disrupted the rhythm of their lives.

In the first month, out of emergency and in order not to be late for work, they asked Hao Tong to get up an hour earlier every morning, and the two took turns to be responsible for sending Hao Tong to school.

Every day, when it was time to pick up Hao Tong from school, the two took turns to take half an hour off in advance to pick him up from school.

Since the kindergarten admission time is 7:50 in the morning, and Hao Tong has been arriving early in the morning when the kindergarten does not open for a month.

In the first few days, out of politeness, the school's security guards would take Hao Tong into the park to take care of them until the teachers came to the school, but this was the case for a month, so the security guards were naturally not happy.

Besides, after a month, Gu Xiaodi and Hao Yiyi both felt physically and mentally exhausted, and they really couldn't bear it.

After Gu Xiaodi's repeated consideration and consideration, she still decided to give up the senior management position that she had worked so hard to come to, and finally chose to return to her family.

On the first day of the second month, she submitted the resignation procedures, and secretly gave the security guard a piece of China when she sent Hao Tong the next day, and apologized to the security guard and said that he would trouble him for another month.

The security guard happily agreed in the end.

--

The next day, the news of Gu Xiaodi's resignation reached the ears of her immediate boss, who persuaded her for a morning, and her mouth was worn out, but she did not change Gu Xiaodi's decision.

Some people say that she is stupid, just find a nanny and find a kind of custodian agency, and it will not be like her.

She doesn't think so, she feels that no matter how good others are to her Hao Tong, it is not as sincere as her own.

Some people also said that she was hypocritical, picking bones in eggs, and putting a lot of money instead of earning, but going home to be her "yellow-faced woman".

Who is not on the road to life for someone her age?

She just laughed at this, although she was occasionally a little unwilling, but quite a lot of helplessness.

However, only she really knew in her heart why she would make this unwise choice that everyone thought was unwise.

Six years ago, in the middle of a summer night, eight days before she was pregnant with Hao Tong and approaching her due date, her amniotic water suddenly burst without warning.

On that day, Hao Yiyi was still working overtime in the company to catch up on the project, and she had no relatives around her except herself, so she was really scared of people like her who had a child for the first time and didn't know anything.

Her underneath was like urinary incontinence, and a stream of hot stuff just kept running down her thighs and calves.

Her instinctive reaction was to open the door of her house, put the pillows up from the waist down, and then she lay on her back at the door of her house, she dialed 120 with trembling hands, and finally called Hao Yiyi in tears.

It was that operation that she almost died on the operating table because of heavy bleeding, and her baby Hao Tong was put in the nursery box just after birth, and was taken home fifteen days later.

Gu Xiaodi also really met her baby son Hao Tong on the sixteenth day.

Later, every time she thought about it, she felt afraid.

Since then, she has cherished life very much and loves Hao Tong very much.

She felt that all this was an extra reward from heaven.

--

When she was about to resign, Hao Yiyi said that she did not agree. Because of this incident, Hao Yiyi had a big fight with her, and the relationship between the two also had a cold war in the history of marriage.

I still remember the scene when the two quarreled at that time......

"Gu Xiaodi, are you sober? We now have a mortgage of nearly two million in this school district, plus my son's tuition fees, as well as the living expenses of our family of three, and my mother's current medical expenses, as well as your ignorant family...... Have you calculated these expenses? Everyone else can find a nanny, why can't you Gu Xiaodi? ”

"There are so many incidents of child abuse by nannies on the news now, don't you feel scared when you hear and see them every day? Of course, I understand that finding a babysitter is the best way out for us. But what if? What if something like the one on the news really happens to us? When the time comes, we won't have time to cry. Besides, we still have some spare money on hand, so let's put off for a year, and after a year, I can find a job. ”

"You say it nicely, and at that point, what do you think you have in the market? Do you know how many Ph.D., graduate and master's students graduated this year? Just an ordinary undergraduate like you, don't say a year, as long as it takes another two months, you will be eliminated by society. Gu Xiaodi, sober up! ”

"Hao Yiyi, you're too cruel to speak, aren't you? No matter how I say it, I am also a key undergraduate student from 985, and an executive from a large company. ”

When Hao Yiyi heard Gu Xiaodi's answer, he first sneered, and then said disdainfully: "Gu Xiaodi, you recognize the reality!" This is an era of rapid development of talents, and you must not take yourself too seriously! When you quit, you're nothing! I think you just don't hit the south wall and don't look back, you just wait and regret it. I'm still here for you today, resign if you think clearly, don't want me to be responsible for you and your family in the future. ”

"Don't worry, neither my family nor I will let you be responsible."

……

She still remembers how hateful and grasping Hao Yiyi's expression was at that time.

Gu Xiaodi always thought that Hao Yiyi had no tricks in the end, so he used threats to make her compromise and say such angry words.

However, she did not compromise in the end, and resolutely resigned in her own way.

It seems that from that day on, Hao Yiyi seemed to be a different person, pulling a long face at her at every turn, and slamming the door and leaving without saying a word to her.

She was always comforting herself, she thought, maybe, after a while, Hao Yiyi would no longer be angry with her.

--

Gu Xiaodi and Hao Yiyi met in the company where she had just left in her first year of college.

At that time, she was also a general HR specialist, mainly responsible for recruiting and training every department in the company. At that time, Hao Yi was already a small supervisor of the R&D department.

Hao Yiyi, who is five years older than her, is a high-achieving graduate student who graduated from the University of Science and Technology, majoring in software development.

It was also strange during that time, Hao Yi's department always couldn't keep people, and the phenomenon of newcomers leaving in less than half a month was staged almost every day.

Gu Xiaodi went to Hao Yiyi every once in a while to understand the situation, so that the two became familiar with each other, plus both of them were single at the time, and Gu Xiaodi belonged to the kind of lively and cheerful chatter, and then the two slowly developed feelings, and after a year of dating, they went to the palace of marriage, and gave birth to Hao Tong in the second year.

In the year they gave birth to Hao Tong, they took out the only savings they had and more than 100,000 yuan from friends, and together they finally made up enough for the three-bedroom and two-hall school district house in the high-tech zone where they live now.

At that time, in order to repay the debts of her friends as soon as possible, Gu Xiaodi immediately went to work without taking her maternity leave.

At that time, she was so busy that she didn't even have time to pump, and often when she remembered it, her chest was as hard as two big stones.

Even then, she didn't feel bitter, people always come first and then sweet, she understands that truth.

Originally, according to Gu Xiaodi's plan, she was forging ahead towards a happy life as she expected, but now everything is messed up.

The sudden and turning change finally released Gu Xiaodi's position as the personnel director who had worked hard all these years.

She has completely become what others call a "jobless vagrant", a full-time mother in her own eyes.
