not just marriage

Chapter 21

Ji Ning's mother is from Yuncheng, although they haven't been back since he was born, but during Chinese New Year and holidays, the family comes here according to the customs of Yuncheng.

Ji Ning himself knew that he should not stay in the company for long, but what he thought was that he would leave after the Chinese New Year, but he didn't expect that he would be fired by the company before the Chinese New Year. As for the reason... there was no reason at all.

Looking at his big belly, Ji Ning thought it was really strange, no wonder others looked annoyed.

Although there is only one person celebrating the New Year, but the New Year's goods still have to be bought.The first day of the new year is to eat glutinous rice balls. Ji Ning doesn't know how to make glutinous rice balls, so he directly bought a pack of ready-made ones. He also replaced the usual snacks and candies with dairy products. These are good for children.

On the night of New Year's Eve, Ji Ning made another calculation for himself.When he arrived in Haicheng, he had a total of 5 yuan on him. After deducting the 3 yuan a year's rent and various things at home, he had a total of about [-] yuan left.

He only worked for three months, and his salary was almost 1 yuan. After spending three months, he basically didn't save any money. The child will be born soon after the Chinese New Year, and he will spend a lot of money at that time. .

"Hey, it seems that I really have to work two shifts." Sighing, Ji Ning thought that he would have to spend a lot of money soon. I have to spend a lot of money when I am in the middle of the month. I am afraid that by the time the child is full moon, my savings will be almost exhausted.

Ji Ning ate alone, but the preparation was very rich, with seven or eight dishes on the table.Originally, he was planning to go downstairs to ask Grandpa Yao to have dinner together, but Ji Ning had already reached the door, so he still didn't knock on the door, because he didn't know if he would be too presumptuous.

Ji Ning really likes the grandfather downstairs, and he is also very kind to him, but there is a saying in Yuncheng that a beggar has thirty nights, and on the night of the New Year's Eve, you can't go to other people's houses, you can only eat at your own home .

These few days of Chinese New Year is the coldest time in Yuncheng. After eating, Ji Ning deliberately added another dress before going to the balcony. He wanted to see the lights outside and the people playing around in the community. child.

Ji Ning counted the days, the child should be born in March, Haicheng's March is still very cold, but Yuncheng's March is already full of spring.Although he thought it would be better if it could be in April, Ji Ning thought that he would spend a month to take care of the child anyway, although March was still a bit cold, as long as he was careful.

Ji Ning's community is an old community that has been around for decades, and the people here have lived together for decades. After the New Year's Eve dinner, there are quite a few people in the community who come out to chat with their children.

Ji Ning remembered that when he and his mother were in Haicheng, they didn't go out during the Chinese New Year. After the New Year's Eve dinner, his mother would let him go back to the room. At this time, he would hear the voice of his mother and that man on the phone. Every time they quarrel.

Thinking of his mother, Ji Ning hurried back to the room. He replaced the previous card as before, and then held the phone in his hand and waited.

After the sky gradually darkened, there were sporadic fireworks flashing in the air in the community. Ji Ning thought that it would be more lively at twelve o'clock, and the nearby businesses would set off a lot of fireworks.

Ji Ning didn't carefully calculate the time difference between China and his mother, and he couldn't wait for his mother's call. He simply wanted to dial it by himself. Although he decided not to contact them again, in the days when he lived alone recently, Ji Ning Ning gradually understood his mother a little bit.

His mother has already paid too much for him. Originally, he had no chance to be born. When Ji Chengyou learned that he had him but refused to divorce, his mother had the opportunity to kill him and start a new life. He was born and raised himself alone.

During the days of living alone, Ji Ning often thinks about the past. In the past 20 years, his mother took him alone. How hard his mother must have been in the past ten years.

"Let me call." Ji Ning thought that maybe his mother was used to it abroad, and he didn't think about jet lag for a while, and they haven't been in touch for a long time. Stop being mad at yourself.

Ji Ning was still a little nervous. Last time, because of giving money to his brother, his mother seemed to be very angry.He found out his mother's phone, and when he was about to dial out, it came in again. Just looking at the familiar number, Ji Ning seemed to be stunned, neither answering nor hanging up.

Ji Ning doesn't know why he still remembers the number of Shen's family. He obviously hasn't used it a few times. When he was working at school, the housekeeper's grandfather used his home phone to call him a few times. He didn't expect him to have his home number. .

Since he used the phone in Shen's living room, the call must have been made by the housekeeper's grandpa.

Can you take it?Ji Ning's hand was almost on the answer button several times, but he finally retracted it. He didn't know what to say after the connection, and is it necessary for them to contact now.

After living in the Shen family for two years, Ji Ning spent more time with the old housekeeper than Shen Muyuan. The old man was also very kind to him. Because of Shen Muyuan's relationship, Ji Ning almost treated the old man as his own grandfather. , but now... Now he doesn't even dare to answer a call from the old man.

It wasn't a busy tone coming from the phone. The old butler was so excited that his eyes were red!The phone is connected, which proves that Ning Ning's phone is still in use. No one answered it just now, maybe Ning Ning is busy, so he can call again.

"Master, is Ning Ning on the phone? If I call again, he will definitely answer." Today is the reunion party, and the old butler has been thinking about Ji Ning in his heart. Last year, Ji Ning was accompanied by him. Maybe this year the child I am alone.

Dial the phone again, the phone is still connected, but there is still no one answering, just when the old housekeeper was about to hang up in despair, a human voice came from the other side.

"Hello, is that grandpa?"

"Ningning, Ningning, it's me! You child, where are you, come back soon, it's Chinese New Year, how can you be outside alone, you..."

"Grandpa, Happy New Year." Hearing the excited voice of the grandpa on the phone, Ji Ning suddenly felt apologetic to the old man. He had left the Shen family and had nothing to do with Shen Muyuan, but the old butler had taken care of him for two years after all. That's great, but he never called the old man again.

"Grandpa, I'm out of town, so I can't go back." It's still some time before midnight, and when grandpa calls him, it should be because Shen Muyuan is not here alone.

"It's all right, young master, Ning Ning has answered the phone, come here quickly." The old housekeeper even shed tears at this time, and he began to look forward to it since he knew that the two hadn't divorced yet, and he hoped that Ning Ning Hurry home, the two of them quickly reconciled, Shen Muyuan was sitting opposite the butler, a few body distances away from the phone, looking at the phone receiver that was handed over, his expression suddenly became a little unnatural, and then he spoke indifferently Said: "Isn't he playing disappearance? Why does he still answer the phone? Why do you care about him when it's Chinese New Year?"

"Master, I beg you to keep your voice down so that Ning Ning won't hear you." Seeing his young master's attitude, the housekeeper was in a hurry. The young master was obviously ready to come over to answer the phone, so he couldn't compromise his tone a little bit.

Ji Ning didn't plan to have any interaction with Shen Muyuan at all. He couldn't hear the words from the butler very clearly, but he could guess what was going on from the butler's tone, and hurriedly said another New Year to the butler. After being happy, Ji Ning hung up the phone.

He has already been humiliated by Shen Muyuan once, there is no reason to be scolded by him after the New Year's Eve, that time when he returned home with disgust in Shen Muyuan's eyes, Ji Ning thought that he would never want to see him again in his life.

Taking a deep breath, Ji Ning tried his best to adjust his mood, and then continued with the previous thing, he had to call his mother.
