Three days after the operation, Wu Qing was discharged from the hospital. There were only 20 days before the original wedding date. The incident happened suddenly and she was not fully prepared. Originally, her father was resistant to the son-in-law who came to visit him. After this incident, he was implicated and his work was transferred, making it even harder to communicate.

Wu Qing said to me: "How about postpone the wedding?"

"How can that be done? There is no delay in getting married. It is unlucky."

"What should we do?"

"It's okay, I'll take care of it,"

I swear that.

The next day, I asked my friend to go to the wallpaper factory to buy wallpaper. Dad Wu hired a painter to put up the wallpaper, painted the floor, and purchased a set of furniture. The decoration of the new house was complete.

On the National Day of 1992, the Wu family was still full of relatives and friends. I didn’t invite any relatives or friends. I only invited a few cousins ​​of the same age and a few younger brothers as best men. We all set off from home on motorcycles and drove to Huaxi Village.

Although the bride is weak and cannot get out of bed, there are still many wedding procedures.

"Honey, do you want to go downstairs? Enjoy the joy of marriage!"

"How do I get down there? No more, as long as you are happy!"

"I'll carry you down and feel the atmosphere!"

I picked up Wu Qing and walked down the stairs carefully step by step.

Wu Qing hooked her arms around my neck, and a sense of happiness suddenly emerged.

With tears in her eyes, Wu Qing said excitedly: "Husband, I just... wronged you."

"It doesn't matter. It's you who feel wronged because you can't wear a wedding dress."

My eyes are wet too.

Wu Qing said, caressing my chest and hugging my neck with both hands.

"Your relatives didn't attend the wedding, and now I'm like this. Am I being deserted?"

"No, you are here! It doesn't matter what you say!"

In a blink of an eye, it has been half a year since we got married. On this day, the spring breeze brought another message, my mother asked me to go home.

When my mother saw me, she stuffed money into my pocket.

"Xiaoer, both of you and your wife don't have jobs, what will you do with your life?"

I pushed my mother's hand away, "No, I have it. Wu Qing is helping with the work at a neighbor's house. You can even take it home to make it at night. Don't worry, we won't starve to death."

"Is it okay if I don't starve to death? Wu Qing still has a big belly and needs nutrition."

I patted my belly and said hehe, "I know. I often get up at night to make food for him. You see, she is not fat. I have gained a few pounds."

Mom still put the money into my pocket.

"Dad said that he has found a job for you. The wool washing factory is right in front. You will be notified in the next day that you will go to Changzhou for three months of training."

I was pleasantly surprised. Knowing my father’s interpersonal relationships, the job he found for me would not be bad.

"Oh, really? Do you need training?"

"I don't know. You go back and ask Wu Qing if you would like to make chicken cakes with me. My old cousin gave me the idea. I have been driving the oven and making chicken cakes from house to house these days. I can earn 80 RMB a day.

"Duanyuan." Mom sat down on the stool next to her, "She is willing to go with me. Life is easy. I will give her some money. You can go out for training, and I can still take care of her."

"Oh, how much can you make if you do this? You're capable!"

I'm surprised.

When I got home that night, I opened the door and saw Wu Qing still working in the room. I felt heartbroken.

"Second sister, why don't you rest?"

"It's okay, you're not tired. Why did your mother want you to go back?"

"Dad found a job for me."

"Okay, what kind of job?"

"The new wool washing factory in the town is right at the intersection of my house. It requires three months of training in Changzhou."

"Ah! I have to go out for training." Wu Qing knew that training would mean leaving home, so she couldn't bear to leave. She was surprised and then said, "Go, three months, and I'll be there in a blink of an eye."

"Oh, also, mom has asked my old cousin to buy an oven and go out to process chicken cakes for others. I asked you if you would like to go with her."

"I can't make cakes, right?"

Wu Qing looked confused.

I walked up to Wu Qing and took her hand, "Get some rest. It's simple. You can help her take care of you. I just want you to sit and do this all day long. It's not good to go out if you don't exercise."

Exercise is good for having children.”

"Yes, okay, I'll go." Wu Qing nodded and said.

I pulled Wu Qing to the edge of the bed and asked her to sit down and rest.

"Okay, I'll send you there tomorrow, and then I'll pick you up after you finish your work."

Time flies, another half year passes, everything goes as expected,

On September 3, 1993, my daughter Xiaochen was born safely.

On this day, after I had breakfast and was getting ready to go to work, Wu Qing came over and said:

"Husband, you have a stable job now. I also want to find a job."

"No, I need to rest for a while. Xiaochen is just one month old and I have to wait for my body to fully recover."

"Mom, their factory is closed. You can take care of Xiaochen at home. I have to go out to work and I'm bored to death at home."

Wu Qing pouted.

I touched Wu Qing's head and rubbed it.

"Just rest for a few more days, and be obedient. I'll take you around the streets tomorrow."

"You go to work, I'll go by myself."

I work on a 12-hour workday from 8 to 8 o'clock. The training in Changzhou is on sheep oil refining. After one month of regular work, the unit arranges to go to the workshop to lead a class.

Today at the factory-wide workers' meeting, I was named and commended. The team had the highest output value in the workshop, and the salary settlement was more than that of the factory director. After the meeting, the factory director asked me to go to the office.

"Small money, not bad! Your salary is much higher than mine." Director Chen said with a smile, holding up a cigarette.

I took the cigarette and became humble.

"The leaders take care of us! The workers below are active."

"It's because you have done an outstanding job. Now that the workshop is expanding, it is necessary to set up customer dispatch. After discussion with the factory leaders, we decided to transfer you to the workshop office as a full-time dispatcher. Do your best!"

I'm happy. This job is day shift and I can get off work at the same time every day. Wu Qing will definitely be happy to know this news.

"Ah, thank you, Director Chen."

When I got home from get off work, Wu Qing rushed over happily before I could say anything, "Husband, I went to the street this afternoon and saw that the hotel was recruiting people. I applied for it, and I can go to work the day after tomorrow."

"Ah! Really? Aren't you allowed to rest for a few days before looking for a job?"

"It's okay. I've recovered. If I stay here any longer, I'll be like a pig. Just be happy."

"Oh, I'm so happy! What a double blessing! I will start the day shift tomorrow, and the factory director has transferred me to the workshop office." I shook my head, feeling proud.

Wu Qing gave me a nudge, "Oh, but I'm in the housekeeping department and need to be on duty."

"Ah! The housekeeping department is on duty. What should I do if Xiaochen is breastfeeding? Don't go."

"It's okay. I told them and they agreed that I could go home. It's not far anyway, so it's convenient."

"Oh, that's it! It's up to you."
Chapter completed!
