I remember that when we first confirmed our relationship, Mengting always praised me to the people around me for being a technical supervisor with a monthly salary of more than 10,000 yuan. I smiled and didn't admit or deny it, but I was secretly proud in my heart. Mengting is so cute and trusts me so much, I have to work hard.
When I got married, Mengting's mother was worried that I couldn't afford it, after all, she thought that the work pressure was high, and she often worked overtime and stayed up late, so it would be difficult to support her family in the future. I said confidently: "Auntie, don't worry, although my job is hard, my income is not bad, and I can definitely give Mengting happiness! Unexpectedly, when the aunt heard this, her eyes lit up, and she agreed without hesitation, and she was worried every day that her daughter would be too tired.
After we got married, we both moved to the second-hand house I bought in the suburbs. The house is not big, but the household appliances that should be there are all the configurations, and it is very comfortable to live in. I remember that on the day of departure, Mengting said goodbye to her mother with red circles under her eyes, and her mother told her to be sensible and not to cause me trouble. I was busy comforting my aunt, saying that Mengting was the most obedient and was fine.
"Husband, Sen Sen is getting married!" One night, Meng Ting happily ran over to me and said to me.
"So suddenly?" I was a little surprised.
"It can't be said that it is sudden, they have been talking for almost 2 years. Meng Ting explained.
"Oh~ That's good, your brother has found the person he likes. ”
"Hmm!" Meng Ting nodded, "So, Sen Sen is going to buy a new house and do wine, so Mom will let us do our part, at least book a banquet or something." ”
"Banquet?" I frowned, "How much?"
"What?! 50,000 yuan?" My eyes widened, "How can it be so expensive? Your brother costs 50,000 yuan for a banquet?"
Meng Ting was a little dissatisfied with my questioning, and pouted: "The owner is going to buy a new house, and he always has to buy new household appliances and furniture for decoration, and the cost is huge." It's too bad for us to not pay for it. ”
I frowned and thought about it, and said, "50,000 is too much, we are not a wealthy family, your brother is just getting married, is it worth the price?"
"And how much do you want to say?" Meng Ting was impatient.
"It's just 10,000, isn't it too much?" I said tentatively.
"What a joke!" Meng Ting immediately blew up, "What's the use of 10,000 yuan? The owner prepared it, to say the least, it will cost 200,000 yuan! We are still the youngest in my brother's family, and it is embarrassing to pay more than 10,000 yuan!"
I spread my hands helplessly: "Mengting, you also know that our second child's family is average, where is there so much spare money to make? Besides, the owner's conditions are good and rich, and I am happy to be happy for your brother." But we're just ordinary workers, where can we get so much money?"
"Holy!" Meng Ting scolded directly, "Li Xiangyang, are you angry with me? You said that your salary is not low, why did you shrink back at a critical moment? I told my mother that you are a technical supervisor, and your monthly salary is more than 10,000 yuan, so people can rest assured that they will marry me to you!"
I was disappointed. It turns out that my image in the minds of my wife and her mother's family is false.
Meng Ting handed the phone to me in annoyance and ordered, "Explain it to my mother!"
"Xiao Li, I remember when my Aunt Zhao introduced you to Mengting, didn't you say that you were the technical director? Why did Mengting say that you can only give 10,000 yuan? Did I remember wrong or are you coaxing us?"
"No?" Auntie sneered, "At the beginning, I clearly said that I was a supervisor with a monthly salary of more than 10,000 yuan, but now I only get more than 20,000 yuan, what is this not a lie?" Also, 10,000 yuan in gift money is too shabby, a son-in-law like you is a shame on our old Zhao family!"
I blushed as I listened, thinking that I was indeed just a little programmer, and my income was too far from what my aunt had imagined. I felt a deep sense of shame.
At this moment, my wife finally couldn't help it, snatched the phone, and roared angrily: "Mom, can you stop being so rude? People don't mean to lie to you, or the actual situation is not as expected, is it necessary to blame people like this?"
I listened to my wife help me out, and my heart swelled with warmth, but I didn't expect her to choose to stand on my side at the critical moment.
However, the moment of warmth was quickly dispersed by the aunt's anger. I heard her shouting on the other end of the phone, something like "we were fooled", "marrying off our daughter for nothing", and threatened to take back the dowry and take Mengting back to her parents' house.
Meng Ting's eyes were red, and she choked up and hung up the phone. She looked at me aggrievedly, not sure if she was blaming me or seeking comfort.
I whispered to her, "Mengting, I'm sorry, it's my fault. I shouldn't have hidden it from you and Auntie. It's just that I really liked you at the beginning, so I was a little inferior and flustered. Actually, my job is not bad, but I am still a little far from the level of supervisor. I promise to do the best and will impress both you and your aunt!"
"Don't worry, I'll prove myself. I took her hand and said seriously.
"My mom doesn't agree to give so much money!" Meng Ting said loudly on the other end of the phone, "She has to explain the monthly salary to her in person, otherwise she won't agree to my brother's marriage!"
I couldn't hold back any longer, and immediately exploded: "Ma Mengting, how high is the monthly salary you give me in front of your mother's family? Do you have to explain it to others? I am facing layoffs in my company now, and you will only think about asking for money!"
I was speechless. The way I look, I really disappointed my wife. Just then, my boss came up to me with a rare smile on his face. He patted me on the shoulder and said, "Xiao Li, the company has just got a big project, and it needs technical backbones to support the implementation." You're usually doing well, I'm counting on you this time, it's up to you!"
As soon as I heard that an important task had fallen on my head, I suddenly came to my senses and hurriedly said: "Boss, don't worry, I will definitely go all out to ensure the smooth launch of the project!"
"Very good, very good!" The boss smiled, "If this project is done well, not only can you keep your job, but you can also get a big salary increase and promotion!
I was so excited that I hurriedly told the good news to Mengting, who was still waiting anxiously on the other end of the phone. As soon as she heard that I had not been laid off and that I had the opportunity to be promoted and raised, she immediately changed her tone and said to me respectfully: "Husband, you must work hard! This project is very important and has a bearing on our future!"
I smiled dumbly, "Okay, I see." Don't worry too much, trust me!"
I was a little embarrassed and smiled and said, "Thank you, Auntie, in fact, I just do what I have to do." Mengting is my most beloved person, and I will do my best to make her happy!"
Yesterday, Mengting and I went to her brother's wedding. A large family gathered together lively, and I took the initiative to take out my savings and bear half of the wedding expenses. The people of the Ma family were all taken aback, and they all praised me for being such a responsible son-in-law. Mengting proudly held my hand and said to me gently: "Husband, thank you for changing yourself for me, and thank you for always supporting me so much." ”
I smiled and whispered in her ear, "No thanks, it's my life's duty to protect you." ”
We looked at each other and smiled. In the crowd, we only belong to each other at this moment. There is still a long way to go, and there are countless possibilities for the future. But with you by my side, I have nothing to fear. Attending her brother's wedding with my wife made me feel a lot of emotion. It seems that yesterday my wife and I were still a little couple who had just fallen in love, and now her younger brother is bound before us. I can't help but think that it's time to think about giving birth to a baby for my wife, we have passed the age of poetry and distance, and it is time to build a warm little home.
At the wedding, I mentioned this idea to my wife. Her eyes widened in surprise, and then she smiled shyly, "Oh, why did you talk about having a baby so suddenly? I'm not quite ready!"
"Oh, slow down!" My wife interrupted me, "It's too sudden to buy a house, isn't it? Is our current income enough for a down payment and monthly payment?"
I smiled confidently: "Don't worry! I have already calculated, the current family savings plus my and your salary income, it is no problem to buy a house of about 3 million." I also have several good houses, all of which are suitable for living and close to kindergartens and primary schools. ”
My wife is still a little hesitant: "For a house of 3 million, the monthly payment and taxes will not be less, right?
"You forgot that I am now the main journey, and the year-end bonus and equity are all in place. I comforted her and said, "When the baby comes, you can also choose to take care of the child at home, and my income alone is enough to support the whole family! ”
My wife was finally moved by what I said, and nodded shyly: "That's okay, anyway, I'm relieved to have you here." When the time comes, I will resign and take care of the child at home, and you will earn money to support the family!"
I was so happy that I put my arms around my wife and kissed her loudly on the cheek: "Great! With your support and understanding, our days will definitely be more prosperous!"
Now my wife and I have completed the purchase of a second-hand house, just waiting for our little family to join. My wife also began to quit her job and concentrate on preparing for pregnancy and childbirth. When my mother heard that we were going to be parents, she was so excited that she called every day to ask questions. I know that this time she is genuinely happy and proud of us.
A few days ago, my mother took a taxi to see the renovation of our new home. I excitedly showed her the baby room, which was almost finished. Pink wallpaper, soft plush carpets, and my custom-made princess bed and toy stand. After seeing this, my mother praised it and said with a smile: "My son has really grown up, and he is more careful and considerate than when I gave birth to you! I believe you will be a good father." ”
I shyly touched my head and said, "Mom, this is what I should do." If your child comes, you should come and see us often. ”
"Needless to say!" Mom said happily, "My important task is to help you take care of the baby! With the little angel, Mom seems to be ten years younger!"
Looking at my mother's happy face, I couldn't help but smile. Once upon a time, I was also a child who desperately needed the love and approval of my parents. Now that I'm going to be a father, I feel a sense of responsibility and fulfillment. I think I will do better than my parents! The days of pregnancy passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, my wife's belly was already bulging. In order to make my wife's birth completely worry-free, I did my homework in advance, bought all the maternity supplies I might need, and made an appointment with the best private hospital.
Just a month before the due date, I was working overtime at noon one day, and suddenly received a panicked call from my wife, her voice was trembling: "Husband, I seem to be going to give birth prematurely, and my stomach hurts!
I was taken aback, quickly beckoned my colleagues to help me ask for leave, and then drove home quickly. As soon as I entered the house, I saw my wife squatting on the ground with a pale face, her stomach holding her face tight, and she was in a cold sweat.
"Wife, hold on, let's go to the hospital!" I hurriedly picked up my wife and walked to the car, anxious.
"Great!" My wife and I breathed a sigh of relief when we learned that the baby was okay. The doctor also instructed us to come for regular check-ups and avoid overexertion, so as not to really cause premature labor.
This incident made me realize that I was too anxious and negligent. In order to save more money, I always worked late and did not have enough time to spend with pregnant women. From now on, I must learn to balance life and work, and spend more time with my wife and future baby.
In this way, under the careful care of me and the medical staff, my wife finally passed the rest of her pregnancy safely and gave birth to a lovely little princess. We named her Li Ruoying.
Holding the soft and fragrant little baby, I was so excited that I couldn't speak. My wife smiled at me tiredly: "Thank you for your hard work, husband! ”
"Thank you for giving me such a lovely daughter!" My eyes were red, and I carefully imprinted a light kiss on my wife's forehead.
"Son, you can be regarded as having a son and a daughter, I am really happy as an old man!" Mom was thrilled.
"It's all your nurturing grace. I said gratefully.
Mom smiled and shook her head: "You will understand in the future, parents always give more than they take." However, seeing the child grow up healthy and happy, the satisfaction cannot be expressed in words. ”
