Chapter 34 Thirty-four, under the same roof

Some people say that the advantage of getting married is that you will always have somewhere to go, no matter how bad you are.But the disadvantage is that you only have this place to go, no matter how beautiful you are. But Wen Jiajia felt that these words were relative, not absolute. For example, Lao Zhong, when he is unlucky, he has another place to go besides his home: prison.When he was beautiful, he had many places to go besides home: Gentle Township. Compared with Lao Zhong, Wen Jiajia is not married, so he has nowhere to go.This is absolutely true. For Wen Jiajia, the confinement center is a temporary sojourn, and she doesn’t know if the small apartment can be kept after returning to China. After all, it is the property under the name of Lao Zhong. He was arrested for accepting bribes, and the property under his name Most of them are also difficult to preserve.

Thinking about it this way, Wen Jiajia will probably return to renting a house soon, and will go back to work as her food editor, but the freedom is far less than before, because she still has to take care of her children. Although the monthly salary of the food editor is quite good, it is meager to support himself and a child in a big city. Wen Jiajia suddenly felt at this moment, "Future" is really not something you should just think about, the more you think about it, the more annoying you will be, because it is hopeless. When you don't think about it, you still feel hopeful, because you haven't thought through its window paper.Until you get old, you will suddenly wake up one day, you have been struggling in "hope" for so many years, and in a blink of an eye you have become old, and even the right to "hope" has been deprived.

Frank accepted Mrs. Huang's entrustment and came to take care of Wen Jiajia.For Mrs. Huang and Wen Jiajia, this may be the answer to the saying: "God closes your door, but he will leave you a window." If Frank had no experience as a doctor, if Frank hadn't been as responsible as he is now, if Frank had taken care of pregnant women or even brought up children, maybe Mrs. Huang would not have found Frank, and even if she did, she would be worried, afraid that he would Things messed up. But now, Mrs. Huang and Wen Jiajia are very relieved of Frank.It is not easy to find a reassuring man these days.

On the day Frank moved to the confinement center, he dragged two big suitcases, and his appearance returned to the scruffy beggar leader when he first met Wen Jiajia. At this time, Wen Jiajia was busy in the kitchen. She was sincerely thankful that she still had skills, at least she would not starve herself and her children, nor would she treat her stomach and appetite badly. Although it is difficult to make a lot of money if you are good at cooking, this basic skill is necessary for life. You have to use it every day, let alone do without it. When Wen Jiajia heard the movement at the door, she put down the spatula and poked her head out to have a look. She couldn't help but frowned at Frank's image: "What time does Julie leave school? I cooked delicious food for her."

Frank hesitated and said, "She doesn't come to live." Wen Jiajia asked suspiciously: "Then you left her at home alone?" In her mind, a picture of a little girl holding her hand at home immediately appeared.It is no wonder that the general understanding of children from single-parent families in society cannot be separated from the word "loneliness". Frank said, "It's her mother." Wen Jiajia was stunned for a moment, but without speaking, she turned around and threw the vegetables into the pot.But her subconscious mind thinks that a strong woman like Julie's mother probably doesn't know how to take good care of her children.

After the meal, Frank walked back to the room without saying a word. He was rarely taciturn during this meal, even more so than usual. Wen Jiajia thought for a while, then poured a glass of warm water and came to his door, seeing that he was just packing up books, CDs, photos, etc. silently, and there was only the sound of objects colliding in the room. When he picked up a photo of Julie, Frank stopped and looked at it in a daze. Wen Jiajia had an intuition that something must have happened here, because the things in this house were not like a change of clothes needed for a one-month stay, but also carried memories of the past many years.

But in the end Wen Jiajia didn't say anything, just put the water on the small table by the door gently, and then gently closed the door. She knew that Frank definitely didn't want to talk about it right now, and even if he wanted to, he wouldn't know where to start, because his own thoughts hadn't been sorted out yet, and he still needed time to settle down. And the process of sharing your thoughts with others is a process of fermentation, and it is difficult to ferment before a person's emotions are completely settled. It's just that Wen Jiajia didn't expect that the process of Frank's precipitation would take so long, so long that she would go crazy with him.

She is pregnant, and her mood swings are inherently unpredictable. At this moment, she needs some joyful atmosphere, rather than a quiet environment as if she is the only creature in the room.But Frank is like a ghost, so Wen Jiajia can't feel his presence from time to time, but occasionally can smell the sad breath hovering over the room, which almost makes people suffer from depression. It is said that young girls Huaichun are always poems. How can a man come up with a song of eternal regret when he misses his daughter? Wen Jiajia felt that she was about to explode, and she couldn't bear it anymore.

So, when she was hovering on the edge of the explosion, she chose a more direct and clever way - to untie the bell, the person who tied it must be needed. This afternoon, Frank was about to go out, and he sat in the car in a lifeless state, waiting for the door of the electric garage to open slowly. woman. Wen Jiajia's posture with her hips crossed looks like an old teapot. Frank was startled, and poked his head out of the car window: "What are you doing!" Wen Jiajia was more gunpowder than him: "I'm going to drive you crazy! You have been here for so many days like a hapless ghost without saying a word! Come on, I'll go to Julie's school with you, since you want her to go Just pick her up!"

For the sake of Frank and herself, Wen Jiajia decided to take care of this hopeless man's lovesickness with her own hands, otherwise they would go into a mental hospital together. Frank got out of the car, and said in an impatient tone, "Please, miss, you can take a good rest and leave my business alone, okay?" Rest!With his dead virtue, how can others rest steadily? !He is a mature man, how can he vividly interpret the coy style of a big girl and a little daughter-in-law? ! Wen Jiajia got into the car without saying a word: "I don't want to worry about it, but I'm a week later than the due date and I haven't made any movement. I'm going to die of panic! You're still making trouble!"

Now Wen Jiajia is as irritable as she was when her hormones were disrupted before menstruation. When she sees that everyone is not pleasing to the eye, she wants to scold them, but the annoying thing is that Frank's words and deeds like a walking corpse make her unable to find an outlet to vent. Frank understood Wen Jiajia's feelings very well, and said, "I'm sorry." Wen Jiajia was still upset: "I'm sorry! It's okay to be sorry! You are acting bitter every day, and you have a bitter face, so I am embarrassed to ask you! Tell me, what's going on with you, Julie, and her mother!" Frank finally murmured: "It's actually a good thing, her mother is getting married." It's a good thing for Julie's mother, but not for Frank and Julie. Wen Jiajia was shocked, and the anger just disappeared in an instant. In the face of a person's saddest and most frustrating moment, any negative emotions of anyone will be let go involuntarily.In other words, the best way to heal pain is to find someone who is 10,000 times more painful than yourself, and the effect will be immediate. Wen Jiajia asked softly, "Are you divorced?" Frank sighed: "I left a year ago, because I didn't want Julie to worry, so I didn't say anything." It seems that the source of Frank's pain is not the divorce. Wen Jiajia continued to guess: "That's why she kicked you out now?" If it is true, then Julie's mother really deserves to be a strong woman, showing her true qualities everywhere, not only divorced but also kicked out her ex-husband, no wonder Frank returned to her true colors. Frank said: "I moved out by myself, and she was transferred back to the US headquarters to work. It's not convenient to be together...well, you get out of the car first, I really have something to do." Wen Jiajia, on the other hand, made up her mind to cure Frank's awkwardness: "What are you doing? Anyway, I'll follow. After you're done, we'll pick up Julie. If you don't want her, I still do!" Frank shook his head and said, "Julie sent her mother to summer camp, and besides, I promised her mother that they will spend more time together during this time." From this point of view, it is mostly for the issue of child custody. Wen Jiajia pursed her lips and said, "Then I will follow, seeing you are so sad and absent-minded, who will take care of my confinement after a car accident?!" Frank had to compromise, because apart from compromise, he had no way to move a pregnant woman who might give birth anytime and anywhere out of the car.
