Chapter 783: The foolish and filial man in a patriarchal family (5)

The following month.

Ji Tianqi slowly adapts to the life in the rental house, and rarely mentions

the Ji family. The relationship with Tian Jing is better than before. She

likes to stick to her mother at all times, like a little tail.

Tian Jing is still pregnant, her energy is limited, and it is a bit difficult

to take care of her, but the bitterness is sweet, and she is willing to make

trouble without Ji's family, no matter how tired she is.

The rental house is closer to the city than Ji’s house. There are many

shopping malls around it. It is convenient to eat, drink and play. Tian Jing

likes to take her out for a walk when she is finished. When Jihuai is off

work, the family will go back.

Today, I went to the cake shop. Ji Tianqi wanted to eat egg tarts. Tian Jing

bought one, but he was not willing to buy one. It cost five yuan each.

Fortunately, I was not greedy when I was pregnant with this child. I was very

greedy when I was pregnant with the first child. I had no appetite, but I

always wanted to eat.

Sometimes Ji Huai went to buy her food in the middle of the night, and she

couldn't eat a few bites. She didn't get fat during the whole pregnancy, but

he had gained more than ten kilograms.

"Ding."

With a vibration, the phone received the message.

Husband: I have to work overtime today, so I won’t go back to eat. You have to

eat early.

Tian Jing twisted Liu's eyebrows and quickly answered: Are you busy? Why do

you have to work overtime again?

It's the fourth day of overtime this week.

Husband: I'm not very busy. The department also ordered food. They finished

cooking together and then went back. Everyone saved effort.

His explanation made Tian Jing feel at ease, and said a few more words with

him, then put away the phone and walked home with her daughter in hand.

The other end.

Ji Huai also put his cell phone aside, watching the constantly bombarding news

on the computer, one after another, the irritability between his eyebrows was

not as relaxed as Tian Jing felt.

Companies continue to squeeze their time and energy, there are more and more

endless things, more and more rules, and unpaid overtime has become the norm.

He stretched out his hand and rubbed his forehead like a headache, and after a

long time, he looked blankly at the request sent in the chat box on the

computer, and the sound of the keyboard and mouse clicking sounded again.

He Tian Jing said that the department ordered the meal, which is actually a

fried noodle, which is hard to die.

The client is still rushing, and I have to start working again after a few

bites. My eyes are getting dry at eight, nine, and ten o'clock. After sitting

for a long time, my backache and neck are uncomfortable, and I have to endure

working overtime.

When he got home, it was half past eleven and took a deep breath when he

arrived at the door before entering.

Tian Jing didn't ask anything, only whether he was hungry.

He took the clothes and prepared to take a bath, and answered truthfully: "A

little bit."

She said as she walked to the kitchen, "I'll make you something to eat. Do you

want to eat noodles or fried rice? I also made dumplings, stuffed with corn,

mushrooms and leeks."

Ji Huai: "Dumplings."

When he came out, a bowl of dumplings had been cooked and put on the table,

fearing that he would not be full, she cooked a large bowl.

Ji Tianqi was already asleep, and Tian Jing was sitting on the other side of

the small dining table, her eyes on his face. Although she didn't say

anything, she was sensitive.

"Would you like to eat one?" He took a few mouthfuls and handed it to her

mouth, "Taste it, it tastes good."

Looking at the dumplings in front of her, Tian Jing did not refuse, and took a

bite. "Tomorrow, I will make dumplings for you and take them to the company?

Or eat something else?"

She just moved here some time ago, and she was raising her body, so she didn't

cook him lunch. His lunch at the company was takeaway, which was unhealthy.

"I want to eat steamed dumplings." Ji Huai put the remaining half of the

dumplings in her mouth again, chatting with her.

He came back late recently, and he couldn't do it part-time. Most of the time

Ji Tianqi also fell asleep. He would look at his daughter, and then the two

would chat together.

She talked about what she did today, and he talked about things at the company

today. There was nothing in the conversation, and the atmosphere was flat but

warm.

Ji Huai has been preparing for the job change. Tian Jing also helped him pay

attention to the recruitment information and changed his resume many times.

At present, the company he works with is also slightly famous in the industry,

and many people still have an olive branch. Ji Huai chose a few after careful

comparison, but the interview results were not satisfactory.

Tian Jingting is worried for him. He has been working overtime recently, so he

should not go to part-time jobs for now, and it is okay if he doesn't change

jobs. Let's take it easy. Let's talk about it after this year.

Ji Huai didn't show any pessimism. Instead, he said, "It's nothing if you

haven't had an interview. Just accumulate experience. It's not a big deal.

Just continue to review."

He felt that he was quite able to withstand pressure. In the previous life, he

lived in a muddle-headed life for decades, and life was just like that, but

because he was too optimistic, Tian Jing put his mind more on him, trying to

enlighten him, fearing that he would get into the horns.

In her eyes, he was still the one who hadn't experienced a big setback, passed

away, and had no self-motivated person. Now that the pressure is so high, he

doesn't know if he is carrying it on his own.

How did she know that he had experienced the abandonment of his wife and

daughter, and his life was extremely bleak, what was it now? But in order to

let her relax, Ji Huai didn't hide his tiredness either. He was not mentally

tired, but he was too busy, and his body really couldn't bear it.

After working overtime for half a month, I couldn't be idle on weekends. I

finally got off work early and received another order for driving on behalf of

me. Far away, it can be calculated as seventy or eighty yuan. With this

seventy or eighty yuan, tomorrow's meal money will be available.

He didn't hesitate to go next, instead of going home, he went directly to the

driving place, and waited until the community had been two hours later.

Xu is too tired. After two months of smoking habit, he went to the small

supermarket downstairs and bought a pack of cigarettes. Sitting on the chair

below, he only wanted to smoke one, but ordered another one later.

He wanted to sit a little longer to get rid of the smell of smoke on his body,

but he didn't expect that Tian Jing, who was throwing trash downstairs, saw

him before he finished smoking the second one.

Ji Huai has a guilty conscience, for fear that she will scold him for smoking

again and hide the cigarette.

But she shed tears in front of him. The crystal tears fell from the eye

sockets and couldn't stop it. He panicked even more, hurriedly messing around,

and threw the remaining cigarettes into the trash can.

"Stop smoking, this is the first time for me, and I will definitely not next

time." He promised quickly.

After quitting for so long, he is not so addicted to cigarettes, but when he

is tired, he will think about it and commit an addiction.

"Are you very tired? If you are too tired, you can change to a lighter job. We

can move to other places. There is always a cheaper place." Tian Jing said in

a cry.

It was so late, and he sat downstairs alone and smoked a suffocating

cigarette. He must be afraid that she would worry and put all the pressure on

himself.

Ji Huai stretched out his hand to wipe her tears, and simply told the truth,

"My energy is indeed limited. Tiredness is definitely more tired than before,

but not as bad as you think."

Tian Jing sat down beside him, "Then why don't you go home?"

"I have to rest for a while. The wind is very comfortable outside. Chen Yang

said to call me later, will my daughter sleep? I was afraid of waking her up,

so I smoked a cigarette by the way and waited for him to call me." Ji Huai

replied .

Chen Yang is his university classmate, the one he has been in contact with

recently.

"What did he call you for?" Tian Jing asked.

Ji Huai: "Isn't there another interview in two days? There is a newly

established company. His friend went for an interview before. I want to find

out and then ask him something."

As soon as the voice fell, his cell phone rang.

Tian Jing listened to him by the side, but quietly did not speak. After

talking for about half an hour, Ji Huai hung up with the other party. He was

in a good mood, took her hand and stood up, "Let’s go, go home. I have to

prepare well for the interview in two days. Chen Yang said that the other

party is the first. I am a technical nerd and he is not proficient in all

aspects of the business. With a company resume, if I prepare well, it should

be good."

"New company?" Tian Jing felt that the new company had many problems and was

incomplete in all aspects.

"It's better than squeezing in this company, and the flow of funds should be

no problem." Ji Huai pulled her up the stairs and told her half jokingly,

"This time it depends on how I fooled."

"How can you fool you?" Tian Jing felt that his level of fooling was not high,

and he couldn't say that he didn't know how to work, but he didn't have

experience in this area.

"Do you believe it? Human potential will explode in a specific environment."

He looked at her seriously, "I can't continue to be slaughtered by others,

mainly because my current income cannot give you and your children a quality

life. I have to go higher, there is no second way."

"People always grow up."

Tian Jing remembers very clearly what he said that day, saying that most men

are boys all their lives. Ji Huai was half a boy before. Although he is a

father, he only needs to make money as before, at most. If the child needs to

be raised, it’s better to spend less.

Now it's different. The family's life is all weighed on him, spending every

day. If you don't work hard, there will be no rent for next month.

He grew up quickly and steadily in a short period of time, and forced her to

support a home, which moved her and felt distressed.

The day before the interview, he and Chen Yang had a phone call for three and

a half hours, and another friend had a phone call for nearly an hour, densely

filled with several sheets of paper.

Immediately afterwards, he repeated it to Tian Jing and asked her to help make

a summary.

Tian Jing also worked with him all night, over and over again to dig out

details, to simulate, to ask questions, and to help him sort out.

Two days later, Ji Huai took a half-day off and rushed to the interview. The

interviewer wore a pair of thick glasses and was not trimmed. It seemed that

he still hadn't slept well. It seems that he did not work overtime last night.

He carefully read Ji Huai's information and began to ask questions.

This time he is hiring a product manager for technical flow, which means he

must have experience and be very proficient in the entire process.

From business flow and data flow to third-party and quotation, and then from

architecture and system deployment, Jihuai can answer one-to-one, and put

forward his own ideas, and finally summarize, especially about product

customization and various processes. unambiguous.

In the meantime, the interviewer nodded and continued to look at his

information again, suffocating the last two questions.

By this time Ji Huai was already very confident and answered more calmly,

because the questions asked were very watery, and he overestimated the other

party. After answering, the other party and him started talking about salary,

and the two still talked for a long time.

Tian Jing was very worried at home, and she didn't dare to ask when he saw him

go home. He prepared so carefully that she was afraid that he would not be

hired again. She looked at her daughter, smiled and eased the atmosphere,

"Qiqi, Dad is back."

"Dad." The little girl sitting on the sofa watching TV slipped off, her sweet

voice echoing in the small bedroom.

Ji Huai squatted down and hugged her to wash his hands. After he sat down,

Tian Jing put a bowl of soup for both father and daughter, placed it in front

of them, and said softly, "Drink Nuanweiwei first."

"Don't ask me how was my interview today?" He didn't drink any soup, raised

his chin slightly, and looked at her with dark and deep eyes, a bit like a kid

who needs to be praised for getting a small grade.

Seeing this, Tian Jing quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and asked along with

him, "How was your interview today?"

"It's over." The corner of his mouth curled up, "I will resign tomorrow and

plan to go to work there in a few days. Guess what the salary is?"

"How much?" She was very curious about this, but it should be better than the

original salary, or if there is less overtime here, that's okay.

"Twenty-six thousand and six." Ji Huai was still very proud.

Tian Jing was dumbfounded. This was a 1.5-fold increase, but when he was in

the advanced company, his salary was less than 10,000 yuan, which was far

beyond her expectation.

"Technology flow is inherently expensive, and the new company has just been

established, and the team needs to be supervised. What he meant is that I want

to participate in this management role, so I won a high salary." Ji Huai

explained.

The other party has just started a business and is an otaku who is not short

of money. He has good skills, but the other party does not understand this

aspect. He needs someone to help him. As long as it is a person he recognizes,

the salary is not less than a few thousand yuan.

"But you don't have management experience." Tian Jing is still very worried,

and what worries her even more is that Ji Huai is not a technical stream in

this area.

"That's learning. I understand more or less during this period of time. I work

overtime while I am working. In this company, I work overtime or unpaid

overtime. I can study slowly when I have this time. I can work overtime, as

long as the salary is in place." Huai was not afraid at all, and said, "There

are so many people who have switched industries. Sister Cai does not do UI

design now. After being fired, she went to Chengbei Company and her salary

doubled."

At any rate, he has also been in this big company for several years, and he is

also a bit accommodating. Recently, frequent firing of old employees has also

made him a lot more important, and his ability has been continuously improved.

"You can learn, I'm afraid you are too tired." Tian Jing is worried that he

will expose the problem and it will be troublesome then, but now that the

Internet is developed, it is possible to learn something quickly. Ji Huai has

already been preparing before, and it is not completely unknown.

"Chen Yang has good abilities and can help me solve problems at any time, so

he won't be desperate, but it's not very good to trouble him all the time, so

I have to trouble you with some things." Ji Huai needs her assistance, Tian

Jing's ability is better than him, and The ability to gather information is

also far better than him.

The most important thing is that he is afraid that she will be bored at home,

so she is easy to think about it, and she always feels that she will

degenerate at home and be eliminated by society. The last time she went to

find a job gave her a big blow. In addition to her poor health, she couldn't

fight like before. , Her self-confidence has disappeared a lot, and now this

is the situation again, and she is also very worried.

He wanted to find something to connect the two people so that she could keep

studying. He knew that Tian Jing was unwilling to be at home all the time. She

was suitable to shine in the workplace, but now there is no way.

"I'm not afraid of trouble." Of course she was willing to help him.

"Then there is no problem. Since you are suffering everywhere, then you have

to make more money." Ji Huai actually has a further plan in his heart. He is

very optimistic about the development of the new company. Because it has just

started, it can take root more.

Tian Jing nodded his head seriously, "Yeah."

Ji Huai went to resign the next day. The leader asked him the reason for his

resignation and talked to him for a long time.

His position in the company is not very important, but recently, many old

employees have been fired. If he leaves again, he will be a little too busy.

Moreover, Ji Huai is married, has a wife and a daughter, and has a good

temper. He can still squeeze hard. of.

The other party knew that he was moved by reason, and he sold his feelings and

drew a big pie, but in the end he had a conscience. Knowing that all the

resignations were due to the lack of money, he said that he would help him get

a raise.

How much can the salary increase? Two or three thousand is not bad, Ji Huai

did not agree, and was very determined to resign.

The other party had no choice but to approve and politely said that he could

come back at any time.

Ji Huai soon joined the new company. Because it is a new company, it is

certainly not well-known in the industry, its position is embarrassing, its

internal affairs are scattered, and various departments are immature.

The basic salary of 26,000 is really not for nothing. His knowledge of the

boss is refreshed again. The other party is skilled, but it is also a real

house. The management is in a mess, focusing only on technology, and business

and management capabilities are messed up.

During the interview, I heard him say that the product and sales ideas are

very clear, and the management of the product and sales department should be

good. Only then did he agree to the conditions he set out and wanted to

quickly bring him over to work.

What Ji Huai has to do every day is to go to work diligently. When the boss

throws the pot, he has to run the sales and product department by himself, and

because it is an airborne, it is a lot of trouble.

Tian Jing is better than him in management, and can often give him advice, and

will also encounter technical troubles. Ji Huai brazenly went to trouble Chen

Yang for several days, because it was really tricky to deal with at the time.

Later, he came back to communicate with Tian Jing every day, and the two

solved problems together and thought of plans together, and they gradually

adapted.

Tian Jing's anxiety has also improved a lot. She started to study with the

idea of helping a group of Ji Huai. As she deepened her study, she felt that

she had been making progress and dabbled in a new industry. She would find a

job even more in the future. Choose more, but relax a lot.

Since joining the new company, Ji Huai has no longer part-time jobs. What he

has to do every night is to study and replay. Tian Jing learns with him and

helps him deal with things.

In the first month, the two did not rest for a day, and both had to go to bed

after eleven o'clock. When they were busy, it was one or two o'clock, but

after twelve o'clock, Ji Huai would urge her to go to bed and work on her own.

Although this kind of life is busy, Tian Jing feels fulfilled, and what he

even looks forward to most is that he will come back from get off work sooner.

Counting the time, she will make the meal, and when he comes back to eat

together, he will wash the dishes, she will take care of her daughter, and

when her daughter is asleep, under the lamp on the table is their time.

Ji Huai will talk to her about the situation of the entire company, the

problems encountered in technology, the confusion encountered in management,

and everyone's troubles.

Tian Jing grew up in a more complicated environment than him, so she would be

much more transparent than him in terms of human relationships and societies.

When she was paid the next month, she transferred the 20,000 yuan he

transferred back to him and said, “If you want to If you move smoothly between

multiple departments, you must be smooth enough, and some expenses cannot be

saved, and you must often invite them to eat and eat, and make friends with

each other in private, so that you will not be embarrassed at work."

Ji Huai was originally unwilling, but was urged by her to go. He also said

that the money could buy them a lot of ribs. Tian Jing really couldn't laugh

or cry when he heard this.

She thought he had no ambitions, and now the salary is good, so she should be

very satisfied. When he was able to solve the problem easily among the various

departments in the fourth month, he immediately proposed a salary increase to

the boss.

Tian Jing said that he was too anxious, and this person plausibly said, "I am

not working alone. It is the two of us who receive a salary. Now I am in

charge of everything. I don’t spend less money on human relationships, and

you’re still pregnant. , So hard, shouldn't the salary increase?"

At this time, Tian Jing had been pregnant for nine months and was inconvenient

to help him too much, but she was still trying her best.

She was always afraid of putting too much pressure on him, so she tried her

best to help, and she was afraid that she would drag him down. Every time he

received his salary, he said that he was half of hers, or even more than half

of hers. Every time he heard, She felt at ease in her heart and felt

recognized.

Ji Huai said again, "When I get a salary increase, I'll go and hire a sister-

in-law for you, and someone will take care of you when you have a baby."

"No, don't ask." She shook her head repeatedly and declined.

They have all lived here, how can they afford a concubine? And where does

Yuesao live? Isn't that embarrassing to spend money?

And it’s so expensive. It’s a little bit less expensive. Raising a child is

very expensive. With this money, she can do a lot of things. She is not afraid

of hardship. She has been suffering all the time. She feels that there is

nothing she can't fight.

"Or, can you ask Mom if I can take care of you? I'll buy her a plane ticket

and let her take care of you. Can you accompany you by the way?" Ji Huai

suggested again, and said, "The confinement wife who doesn't live at home also

It costs a few thousand yuan, but there is no need to rent another house in

the community. There is a shared single room downstairs, and we can rent it to

my mother."

This kind of shared single room only needs more than two thousand years. Ji

Tianqi is still young, and she has to confine her and take care of the big and

the small, which is really overwhelming.

It's impossible for Ji Mu to help them, unless they go back and give birth to

a daughter, the other party will not give a good face.

The last words he said silenced Tian Jing. She lowered her eyes, looked at the

somewhat old floor, and whispered for a while, "My mother has never been out

of the market, she knows nothing."

Not to mention the city, I haven't even been to the county a few times. The

time I went to the city, I had a heart bypass operation, and I came back after

being discharged from the hospital. Her mother has been in the mountains for a

whole and a half of her life. She only speaks dialects and writes her own

name. She may not even understand all Mandarin.

She has not been home for more than two years. When she was pregnant, she said

that she would have a baby and then take the baby back. Later, she gave birth.

The baby was too noisy, and there was no money and energy. Later, when the

baby got older, she had to go out to earn money to support the family and go

to work. How can there be time later? Then came the second child.

"But mom doesn't need to do anything, just need to take care of you, right?"

Ji Huai looked down at her and slowed down his voice, "You call mom and ask

okay? Someone has to take care of you so I can go to work without worry. ."

Tian Jing did not call immediately, she was still hesitating, although she

told the other party that the child hadn't been killed, Ji Huai had already

taken them out, Tian's mother had no other choice but to worry, in order to

prevent the other party from worrying, many things She didn't say.

Why don't you want Tian Mu to come? Because she didn't want the other party to

see that their family only lived in such a small house, and it was rented, she

was about to have a second child, and the family of four had no place to stay

in this city. In the mother’s perception, marriage requires a house, and then

a home. How sad is it to rent a house? No matter how poor the place is, there

is a house for marriage, even in the country.

But from the bottom of her heart, she wanted the other person to come. When

she was sad and wronged, she would miss her mother and home. When she gave

birth to her second child, when would she go home next time? She doesn't even

know.

Maybe one year later, two years later, or even longer.

Ji Huai managed well, and the salary increase proposed was agreed. The

increase was not much, only 10%, but his provident fund became higher, the

provident fund offset the rent, and their living pressure was not so great.

Tian Jing has been doing her best, unwilling to let her parents know that she

is not doing well. This time, after struggling for a long time, she dialed

Tian's mother's phone. After talking about it for a long time, when she

finally asked the other party to take care of her, she choked up as soon as

she said it, and her eyes were red.

I don't know if she became hypocritical during pregnancy. She hardly cried

before, and it was useless to cry.

Tian's mother was flustered. She had never been out of the gate in her entire

life, but she wanted to take care of her daughter. Hearing that Ji Huai would

make arrangements, she agreed without hesitation.

Tian Jing smiled in tears. She has a little selfishness. Even in this city,

she hasn't been able to let Tian Mu live in her home, but she also wants the

other person to come out of the mountains to see the outside world and see

this prosperous one. City, look at her children. :,,
