A foreign city, dear you

Cao Xueqian stepped into the rental house, hugged his wife gently, and then asked her: "What are you doing?"

"I'm sewing sleeves." She said while showing him the workhorse in her hand.

"Let me do it."

"Then you will come?"

Ye Lian was a little embarrassed. She was a little ashamed that she couldn't do a good job as a female worker.

But he knew that Cao Xueqian didn't dislike her, but just wanted to help her share the burden. So she was not polite and handed the work in Cao Xueqian's hands, shyly but sweetly watching him thread the needle and thread for her skillfully.

Now Cao Xueqian is sitting on the edge of the bed, and Ye Lian is sitting next to him watching.

Cao Xueqian sewed silently and seriously, his handsome mouth closed and silent.

Ye Lian didn't say anything and looked at Cao Xueqian silently.

Ye Lian likes to watch Cao Xueqian working.

She liked to see that focused look, that neat movement, that elegant posture.

Especially those deep eyes, which are both affectionate and wise, always make her feel infinite love.

In her eyes, what an outstanding man he is.

Loyal and helpful, no matter where he goes, there will be people willing to make friends with him;

Have a strong ability to comprehend new things and a strong learning ability;

He can play musical instruments, sing love songs, and speak loving words in her ear;

Work in an orderly manner;

I remember that when she first arrived at Pingcheng Middle School, the school only gave her a very small room, which made her feel unable to put down her "three burdens".

It was him who sorted them into categories, bundled them, tied them, and inserted holes into every detail, and managed to arrange them all properly. What surprised her even more was that he could also do needlework!

Therefore, even though in the eyes of others, Cao Xueqian is not good-looking, has low education, does not have a good job, and has no skills, Ye Lian still thinks that Cao Xueqian is the best, and she worships him for no reason.

The most important thing is that he loves her so much and dotes on her.

In his eyes, all her advantages are advantages; in his eyes, all her shortcomings are cute. He took her deeply into his heart and tolerated all her good and bad qualities. Let her feel that there is no second man in the world who can treat her better than him.

She knew that he was poor and had nothing so far, but she didn't care.

As long as two people can be together, even if they are poor, they will still have the happiness of being poor and the happiness of being together...

Suddenly, a short and soft "ouch" sound came from Cao Xueqian.

Ye Lian quickly stood up and asked Cao Xueqian what happened?

Cao Xueqian said it was okay, but he was accidentally pricked by a needle.

Cao Xueqian continued to sew. He wanted to open his mouth to speak to his wife several times, but he swallowed the words as they reached his lips.

"You have something to tell me?" Ye Lian saw Cao Xueqian hesitate to speak several times and couldn't help but ask: "What's the matter? Just tell me if you have something to say."

Cao Xueqian stopped the needlework in his hand and looked at Ye Lian with a solemn expression.

Ye Lian also looked at Cao Xueqian and waited. She knew that Cao Xueqian should have something important to say.

"I told you not to be anxious." Cao Xueqian got vaccinated first.

"Yeah." Ye Lian nodded, instantly having a bad feeling.

"I was demoted from assistant engineer to apprentice, and my salary was also reduced from two thousand three hundred to six hundred." Cao Xueqian said softly.

After Cao Xueqian finished speaking, he looked at Ye Lian a little worriedly.

To say it or not to say it is a difficult decision.

Let's talk, I'm afraid Ye Lian will be worried and anxious.

Don't tell him, he felt that Ye Lian should know about this. After all, this situation cannot be hidden, and she will find out sooner or later.

After much thought, he finally said it.

silence……

There was no wind in the stuffy room, but Ye Lian felt her heart was a little cold, and her heart that had been happy just now suddenly turned into sadness.

Didn’t he say his job was very good? Didn’t you say that his salary is very high?

did not expect……

Unexpectedly, the situation suddenly became so serious.

Ye Lian teaches in a remote small county, and the salary is not high. Cao Xueqian wandered around again in the past few years, with unstable work and little income.

I thought Cao Xueqian finally had a good job and could get a relatively high salary.

result……

it's good now.

One resigned and the other had his salary reduced and his position reduced. How will he live in the future?

Ye Lian is not afraid of hardship, she knows that Cao Xueqian can also endure hardship.

The problem is that it is not enough for them to support just two of them. They also have many family responsibilities.

Both parents are getting older and rely on their support from time to time; the son lives with his grandparents and has to send money back every month; Ye Lian's younger sister Ye Wei is attending college, and Ye Lian and her husband have to provide tuition and living expenses. Cao Xueqian is taking the responsibility...

As Cao Xueqian thought, Ye Lian was really worried and anxious.

She looked at Cao Xueqian, who forced a smile on his face.

Ye Lian couldn't bear to see it, Cao Xueqian's smile clearly contained sadness and loss.

"What's going on?" Ye Lian asked.

Cao Xueqian then told the whole story.

It turns out that's the case, it turns out that Qian has been in dire straits all along, but he just didn't tell me.

No wonder his eyes have always looked a little melancholy in the past two days.

Ye Lian didn't know what to say for a moment.

They say the world outside is both wonderful and helpless.

Where is the excitement? She hasn't seen it yet. But helplessness came unceremoniously.

Who can predict what will happen in this world?

Cao Xueqian sewed the sleeves, handed them to his wife, and then put away the needle and thread.

Ye Lian saw the uniform, thin and dense stitches on the sleeves, and wanted to praise Cao Xueqian, but she couldn't.

Praise in a depressed mood will only add a bit of bitterness.

She also wanted to comfort Cao Xueqian, but she didn't know where to start.

As soon as she came to Yancheng, life gave her a stick. This stick hit Cao Xueqian on the head, but it also shocked her heart.

Thinking of the job I gave up, I couldn't help but feel guilty.

I couldn't help but think of my mother's warnings and colleagues' admonitions, and I suddenly felt the pressure doubled.

Cao Xueqian felt very distressed when he saw Ye Lian's helpless look.

He pulled Ye Lian to his side, held him in his arms, and comforted her in her ear: "Don't be afraid. This is only temporary, and I will get back the previous treatment. Zhao Gong said that he would be here soon. You have time to take me with you.”

Ye Lian leaned against Cao Xueqian and said nothing.

She quietly felt Cao Xueqian's breathing. She grabbed Cao Xueqian's hand, pressed it gently, and murmured: "Well, I'm not afraid. If you say you're not afraid, you're not afraid."

The sleeves have been sewn and what they wanted to talk about has been finished. The couple put aside their unhappiness for the time being and went out together and went downstairs.

Cao Xueqian has already had dinner in the factory, but Ye Lian hasn't had dinner yet.

*

Sunday.

The couple added a cheap rice cooker.

When passing by a daily necessities store, Ye Lian was debating whether to buy a small rubber stool.

It costs money to buy it. Although a rubber stool is very cheap, Ye Lian always counts the money on hand and saves as much as possible.

Don’t buy it, I really need a stool in the house. When I don't want to stand, I have no place to rest my butt, so I have to sit on the edge of the bed; and sometimes I need a stool to do laundry.

After hesitating for a long time, Ye Lian decided to buy it.

Life is difficult, but you have to go on.

Moreover, didn’t Qian say that? Don't be afraid, this is all temporary.

I hope this is all temporary and that things will get better soon.
