The garment factory didn't know what big orders they had received, and when it came to the Chinese New Year, they were full of horsepower, and even transferred temporary workers from outsourcing companies to rush over. In the past few days after Shi Jiaojiao came back, not to mention chatting with her parents, it was difficult to even take a picture: in the morning, Shi Jiaojiao and the couple went to work before they woke up, and they couldn't help it at night, and they hadn't come back yet. The herring sent by Uncle Niu has been thinned, and no one has to deal with it.

It wasn't until the 27th of Layue that the workers were given a holiday, and of course, after hard work, the New Year's benefits were still very generous. "Why didn't my dad come back with you, and asked Aunt Yang to pedal a tricycle to help pull it back?" Shi Jiaojiao asked, looking at the two boxes of apples and oranges on the ground, as well as rock sugar, oil, peanuts, melon seeds and other New Year's goods issued by the factory. Mother Shi counted her and her husband's booty and replied, "I'm going to your good friend's house!" "Huh? Why? ”

Shi's mother's expression became cold, and she said, "She is not in the factory, and she can't be sent over after helping her receive benefits?" Shi Jiaojiao was puzzled, "How many days do their mechanics take a vacation a few days earlier than you?" Shi's mother put down the bag in her hand and said to Shi Jiaojiao very seriously: "She suddenly fainted in the factory the day before yesterday, and she didn't come to work after that." Shi Jiaojiao's face changed greatly, "What! Why didn't you say it earlier! I'm going to see her. Shi's mother grabbed her daughter, "Don't go, she doesn't necessarily want to see you!" According to me, don't keep looking for her in the future, you two are different after all. ”

Looking at her mother's extremely unfamiliar detached expression when she said Chen Li, Shi Jiaojiao felt that the situation was not ordinary, she stood in front of her mother and asked, "Mom, what do you mean?" Mother Shi gritted her teeth, pulled Shi Jiaojiao to sit on the table, and said with a complicated expression: "I don't mean anything else, I shouldn't have told you a little girl about this, but after all, you have been playing since childhood." "What the hell is going on! How is Lili doing now? "She was taken to the health center and found out that she was pregnant the same day." Mother Shi grinned as if she had seen something filthy with her own eyes, and her eyes avoided Shi Jiaojiao's face.

Lili, who was still worried about being urged to marry last time, has not had time to get married now, but she is pregnant first, and the news is transmitted from the factory to Chen Li's home...... Shi Jiaojiao completely understands the disdain in her mother's eyes, and also understands why she keeps her distance from her good friends: it's just rumored that if she doesn't come home at night when she goes out with her blind date, she will be pointed at. Now that the eldest girl is pregnant before marriage, it has become explosive news in this quiet small village! Shi Jiaojiao couldn't help but cover her mouth, and her brain was spinning rapidly.

"I'm going to see her right now, just in time to come back with my dad." Shi Jiaojiao walked out the door, ready to pick up her old bicycle. Of course, Shi's mother immediately spoke out to stop her, Shi Jiaojiao turned around and said angrily: "Mom, now everyone must be accusing her, including her family!" Just look at you, the one who watched her grow up...... This is exactly when she needs me, I want to be like you, I have been with her for the past 20 years! ”

"I knew you would! But now that you're standing next to her, what do people think of you? Surely you are the same as her. Say you're going to school outside and you're so far away from home that you don't know what it's like to be outside? Have you thought about any of this? Shi's mother's shame was fleeting, and she didn't shy away from talking to her daughter at all! Shi Jiaojiao gasped, her eyes glazed over, "Mom, what are you talking nonsense?" I can't believe you're going to follow others to say that about me and Lili. The two of us grew up at your feet, you really can, you don't protect Lili, forget it, and chew the root of your tongue with those long-tongued women......"

Shi Jiaojiao widened the distance between her words and her mother, held her breath for a while while with her neck, and spit out a sentence, "I'm going to go now", and turned around to leave, just in time to usher in Shi's father who got off the bicycle. As soon as the man saw this posture, he knew what had happened to the mother and daughter, and quickly set up his bicycle and held Shi Jiaojiao's shoulders to his wife. Shi Jiaojiao twisted her shoulders twice, shook off her father's hand, and asked, "Have you discussed it together?" Father Shi looked at his wife who was frozen on the side, and said softly to his daughter: "Xiaoli is fine now, you don't believe it yourself to go and see." Shi Jiaojiao looked at her father suspiciously, and sure enough, he still had the following, "But you have to think about it, does she want you to be in front of her at this time...... You know her best, you decide for yourself. As he spoke, he pulled his wife and let the road in front of Shi Jiaojiao out.

Shi Jiaojiao looked at her parents, sneered, turned around and pushed the bicycle away.

No one was in the yard, Shi Jiaojiao gently pushed the door, walked into the house by herself, and whispered: "Lili, are you at home?" After waiting for a while, no one agreed, so Shi Jiaojiao had to re-enter the courtyard and stand outside the window of Chen Li's room. She used to praise Chen Li for the colorful glittering plastic paper that she pasted on the window, which was as beautiful as a rainbow, but now she is good, even if she doesn't draw the curtains inside, she can't see anything.

"Who is this, what do you want to do?" A middle-aged woman's angry rebuke came into her ears, Shi Jiaojiao quickly turned around and explained, "Auntie is me, Jiaojiao." When Chen Li's mother saw that it was Shi Jiaojiao, she put down the basin she held up in her hand and said curtly: "Jiaojiao, are you back from vacation?" Shi Jiaojiao nodded and asked cautiously, "What about Lili?" Mother Chen let out a long sigh and pointed to the colored window, "Fall asleep, you can go." Shi Jiaojiao nodded and walked around the room.

Chen's mother came in from the yard after drying her clothes, and saw Shi Jiaojiao sitting on a chair in the outhouse, and said suspiciously: "Didn't you go in?" Shi Jiaojiao rolled her eyes and whispered, "Wait for her to wake up." Chen's mother's face was mixed, she dropped the empty basin in her hand and pulled a stool, sat down next to Shi Jiaojiao, touched Shi Jiaojiao's knee and said, "In the end, it's still Jiaojiao." Her little sister in the factory, who usually says how good she is, now passes by our door and refuses to come in to have a look. Mother Chen raised her eyes and looked at Shi Jiaojiao sadly, Shi Jiaojiao's expression was solemn and she didn't say a word.

The two sat in silence, and suddenly heard the door of Chen Li's room open, and when they raised their eyes, they saw Chen Li wearing daily clothes, her hair was not messy, and she was energetic and supported the door frame with both hands. She looked at Shi Jiaojiao complainingly and said, "I waited for you for ten minutes and didn't see you come in!" Shi Jiaojiao was a little surprised, and quickly grinned, "Auntie said that you are sleeping, I am afraid of your waking up." Chen Li bent her eyes and beckoned to her, "I turned on the little sun and came in to speak." Seeing this, Chen's mother said, "You stay away from the electrical appliances" and got up and went to the kitchen.

As soon as she entered the room, Chen Li took off her cotton pants and climbed into bed, and asked Shi Jiaojiao to go to bed as well. "I can't go home, I don't know how difficult it is to get out of the bed for a while!" Shi Jiaojiao took away the clothes on the rattan chair, sat on the rattan chair as she spoke, and took Chen Li's down jacket to cover her knees. Chen Li didn't force it, turned over and took out a pack of vacuum braised chicken feet from the corner of the bed and threw it to Shi Jiaojiao, "You love to eat." Shi Jiaojiao caught it and exclaimed: "There are a lot of additives, you still eat this while you are pregnant with your baby!" Chen Li rolled her eyes, "Good, you start to care!" When I bought it, I knew you should come back, and I didn't know what was in my stomach! ”

That's so straightforward! Shi Jiaojiao felt her face burn, and she stammered when she spoke, "You, you can!" Before I came, I thought I might have become a Lin Daiyu, but now it seems that I still underestimated you. Chen Li stroked her palms and laughed, stroked her hair, and said proudly: "That's, who am I!" As he spoke, both of them laughed, and the eyes they had been afraid to touch met in the laughter, and gradually the smile subsided, and there was no sound at the last moment, so they looked at each other in a daze. After a long time, Chen Li, who was sitting on the bed, fell down her shoulders, tilted her head and said pitifully: "It's great that you're here." It's been a few days, and I'm so afraid you won't come. Chen Li looked at Shi Jiaojiao, "I'm so scared...... You look down on me too......"

"You also underestimate me......" Shi Jiaojiao shook her head, rubbed her hands, and said a little embarrassed: "However, I was really surprised." I still can't believe it. Chen Li tilted her head to look at Shi Jiaojiao, Shi Jiaojiao pursed her lips, her eyes were full of memories, "When we were young, we were shirtless, and while everyone was napping, we threw mud on the newly painted white wall...... This ridiculous time seems to be just yesterday, but you, you're going to be a mother, I'm scared by this......" Chen Li's eyes flashed with tears, and she nodded gently, "I was also startled myself...... The brain is clouded...... In a daze, there is a baby......"

Shi Jiaojiao sat on the edge of the bed and wordlessly took Chen Li's hand and put it in her palm. Chen Li wiped her tears with her free hand, "Don't worry about me, show you something." As he spoke, he took out the red mobile phone with a flip cover from under the pillow and sent it to Shi Jiaojiao. Shi Jiaojiao took it and saw that it was a long text message, the sender was Wang Jiawei, it should have been the day she learned that she was pregnant, and the two hung up the phone and hurriedly added: Lili, I'm really happy to be a father! Don't panic, don't be afraid, I'm here. Actually, I'm still happy, the engagement in the middle of the year can be directly remarried! I will do my best to be good to you and your baby for the rest of my life! This text message you save up, this is my written guarantee to you. I'm going to be busy with our marriage in the past two days, don't be angry if you don't have enough contact for a while!

"No wonder it's so spirited!" Shi Jiaojiao closed her phone, her expression was both complaining and delighted, "It turns out that the waist board was straightened, I thought it was my credit!" As he spoke, his nose somehow became sore. Chen Li bit her lip and smiled, touched Shi Jiaojiao's face, and put her forehead against hers, "I know it's not a glorious thing." But, Jiaojiao, I feel very happy, really happy. Shi Jiaojiao closed her eyes, she didn't know why she was crying, it may be that in Chen Li's trembling voice, the down-to-earth happiness stirred the softest part of her heart, making her feel that stable.
