Chapter 42 Section 4

It may be because Ding Yi didn't go to bed at the usual time, so Ding Yi couldn't fall asleep no matter what.She found that her biological clock is quite accurate, she can only sleep when she usually sleeps; when she usually wakes up, she wakes up when the time comes, and she doesn't even use an alarm clock.If there is any disruption in the middle, it will be completely messed up, and it will take several days to set things right. My husband is still so good at sleeping, especially after making love, he just goes straight to dreamland without turning a corner. In retrospect, he was still able to stay awake for a while after finishing the relationship during the relationship, and that had to be the second time, the first time every week, he also fell asleep after finishing the work .She was sad and sad because of this, and forced him to stay up and talk to her, but when she saw him barely holding on, and absent-mindedly "hmmmmmm", she also found it boring, so she didn't bother to force him.

He sleeps and snores a little, but it's not really shaking, and it catches up with her normal sleep time, and it doesn't affect her sleep.But like today, after the bedtime specified by her biological clock, she couldn't fall asleep, and the sound of snoring kept ringing in her ears, which seemed particularly harsh. In addition to the constant small grunts, he also grinds his teeth intermittently.When she first heard him grinding his teeth, she felt as if someone was scraping his teeth with glass, which made her teeth sore, and goose bumps appeared on her internal organs and lungs.

She would shake him awake then, lest he grind out his own teeth. But he was very impatient, and murmured, "What are you doing?" "You're grinding your teeth." "What's the matter with grinding your teeth?" "It's so loud, I'm afraid it will damage your teeth." "It has been worn for decades, and it has not been worn out." It turned out that he knew that he ground his teeth while sleeping, so why didn't he think of a way to cure it?She asked with concern: "Is there a worm in my stomach, or is there a fire in my heart?"

"how could I know?" "you are a doctor……" "Are you still letting people sleep?" Later she didn't care about him, and if he made her unable to sleep, she would go to another room. When the baby was first born, the three of them slept on the same bed, but after only a few days of sleep, he couldn't bear it anymore. He said that the child kept quarreling with him in the middle of the night, he couldn't sleep well, and there would be problems in the operation the next day. She also felt that it was too crowded for three people to sleep in one bed, and he came back late, so sleeping in one room could easily wake her up, so she asked him to sleep in another room.As a result, this became the pattern of sleeping in her house. She always slept in the same bed with her daughter, and he slept in the same bed alone. When he thought about that, he ran to her room to find her and took her to his room.After making love, he fell asleep, and she slipped back to her room to sleep with her daughter.

When they first came to the United States, they lived in an apartment, but they also had two bedrooms, because he was treated as a postdoctoral fellow when he came to the United States, and he was not as poor as ordinary international students.She thought that when her daughter grew up, she would live in one room alone, while the couple lived in another room.But the daughter refused to live in a room alone, and had to be accompanied by her mother, so she lived in a room with her daughter, and he lived in a room alone. Later moved to the present independent house, which has three bedrooms, and my daughter wants to live in the master room, because there is a bathtub, and my daughter likes it, saying that I can take a bubble bath there, so my daughter lives in the master room, and he lives in the small room. The bedroom, and a medium-sized one, is considered a guest room.She would fight in the three rooms. When her daughter was sleeping, she would accompany her daughter. When her daughter fell asleep, she would go to the guest room to sleep. If he wanted to, he would come to the guest room.

Sometimes she felt that it was not like a couple at all, at least not like a loving couple.The loving couples she saw in the movie embraced each other and fell asleep after making love. The man gently stretched out his strong arms to make a pillow for the woman, while the woman slept in the man's arms like a bird.Woke up the next morning, looked at each other and smiled, very sweet.Sometimes men also serve breakfast to women on a rectangular plate for women to enjoy in bed. It seems that she will never enjoy such a blessing in her life!Who told her to marry a country bumpkin who doesn't understand customs?Men in Manjialing would definitely not put their wives in their arms to sleep, let alone get up early to make breakfast and bring them to bed for their wives.The daughter-in-law in Manjialing must have gotten up before dawn, went to work in the field first, and then went home to make breakfast and serve her in-laws, husband and children.

Speaking of which, she can be regarded as more than inferior than inferior. If she is unfortunate enough to be born in the village of Meiyazi, the best ending is to marry to Manjialing as a daughter-in-law. Our urban women are still happy, after all, it is the ants that climbed up the reed mat - one strip high, while the city women married Manjialing men, that is, the ants crawled up the reed mat - one strip low. She couldn't sleep tonight, and his snoring and grinding of teeth were particularly harsh.She had no choice but to play guerrilla warfare, and go to whichever room is empty, anyway, the three rooms in her house are all equipped with big beds.

At six o'clock in the morning, the alarm clock on her mobile phone rang.She didn't know what time she fell asleep last night. She felt as if she hadn't slept at all. She was so tired that she couldn't keep her eyes open.But she still struggled to get up and went to the master room to call her daughter: "Ding Ding, the alarm clock is ringing, it's time to get up!" One hundred times the daughter was unwilling: "No, I want to sleep." "Get up, it's getting late, there will be traffic jams on the road, and you will be late for class." Reluctantly, the daughter elongated her voice and replied, "Okay——"

She knew her daughter was awake and would get up, so she went downstairs to prepare breakfast for her daughter. Primary schools in the United States go to school very early. She drives her daughter to school by herself, and she can stay up until after six o’clock. If she takes the school bus, she has to get up after five o’clock, because the school bus comes to pick up the children at 6:20, and The parking station is still ten minutes away from her home. She has to wake up Ding Ding after five o'clock, wash up, have some breakfast, and rush to the parking station. Her place of residence is not far from Ding Ding’s school, and it takes half an hour to drive there, but the school bus takes an hour because it has to go around many places to pick up the children. .

In order to let her daughter sleep for an extra hour in the morning, she has always driven her daughter to school by herself. She also tried to take shifts with her husband to send her daughter, but he refused: "Why do you have to drive yourself when there is a school bus?" "Driving by herself, she can get an extra hour of sleep." "Can't she sleep on the school bus?" "Even if you don't drive her, you still have to get up and accompany her to the school bus stop. It will take you ten minutes to get to the school bus stop. Why don't you just send her to school?"

"Why don't she just walk to the school bus by herself?" "It's dark outside, you let her go to the car by herself as a little girl?" "Did the others go by themselves, or did their parents send them?" "Some went by themselves, and some were given by their parents. Tintin is small and timid. How can you bear to let the child walk to the school bus alone in the dark?" "Courage comes from practice. If you don't let her go by herself, she will be timid all her life." "Her schoolbag is so heavy, at least ten pounds." "You won't let her recite less?" "Why memorize less? They are all required by the school. The textbooks here are not as small as in China. They are all the size of magazines, at least one inch thick. The schools here don't use exercise books, they all use loose-leaf paper. , There must be one or two three-hole folders in the schoolbag, plus seven or eighty-eight things, you can calculate the weight by yourself." He became impatient: "Maybe there is still a load of water? A girl in Manjialing, at her age, should go to the well to fetch water and cook by herself." She was furious: "Don't make a mistake, this is not your Manjialing!" He didn't say a word, but he didn't get up to send his daughter off early. She got angry and called him a few times, each time it took a long time to move, and she had to stare at him all the time, and when he didn't pay attention, he fell asleep again. She had to ask him four times to call him, but she didn't fall asleep. It also caused my daughter to be late, and made all three members of the family angry. Later, she didn't bother to call him, and she delivered everything by herself. Today she prepared milk and oatmeal for her daughter, fried an egg, and cut a slice of apple. After her daughter finished eating, she took her daughter to school by car, and then went home to catch up on dozing off for a while. When it was almost ten o'clock, she got up and was going to use the computer at school.Her dissertation needs to process a lot of data, but the software is not installed on her home computer, so she can only use it at school. Before going downstairs she looked into her husband's room and saw that he had gone to work.He didn't go to work until nine or ten o'clock every day, but he went late and came back late, often in the middle of the night, sometimes at two or three in the morning, and often spent in the laboratory on weekends. It's a family, but she doesn't have many opportunities to meet him, and she rarely eats together. She wanted to warm up the leftovers for breakfast, but when she opened the refrigerator, she found that there was no food left, and he took all of it away.Don’t think he doesn’t cook, but it’s quite refreshing to eat, not only to eat, but also to bring, not only to bring his own portion, but sometimes when he meets something he likes, he even brings it to the laboratory for everyone to share. He didn't tell her about bringing vegetables, but heard it from Xiao Wen in his laboratory. It was a weekend that day, and she was tidying up the flower garden in front of the door when she saw her husband's car drive back, but it didn't go into the garage, it only drove to the open space in front of the garage door.Then she saw her husband and a young girl get out of the car, and the husband introduced her, "This is Wen from my lab, who came to our house to do laundry." She saw her husband open the trunk and pull out two plastic laundry baskets full of dirty clothes. He stacked the two large laundry baskets and carried them into the house all at once. She felt very uncomfortable. He had never touched the laundry basket in his house. After changing the dirty clothes, he would throw them on the floor of the hanging room. When she searched and washed them, he would not take them out of the washing machine after they were finished. Waiting for her to iron it for him, hang it in the closet, and ask her when he wants to wear it: "Did you see my gray shirt?" Now it's good, it's very kind to help others with laundry, and it's a young girl's laundry basket, and there must be a lot of underwear and bras in it. Her complexion must be not very good-looking, but Xiao Wen didn't care at all, and greeted her warmly: "Sister Ding, are you busy? I have heard of your name for a long time. Dr. Man praises you in the laboratory all day long, Said that you are diligent and capable. We have also eaten the dishes you cook, which are so delicious." She smiled and said perfunctorily, "Are you resting today?" "Well, take some time to wash the clothes. Sister Ding, you are really capable, and you can also take care of the flower garden?" She said angrily: "You Dr. Man don't care about anything, what if I don't take care of it?" Xiao Wen hurriedly said good things for him: "He is busy, otherwise how could he be the leader of a scientific research project at a young age? Isn't it said that every successful man has a woman behind him? Sister Ding, you have worked hard!" She wanted to say, "What is he busy with? I don't think he's busy now", but of course she wouldn't say that, she just smiled lightly and didn't answer. The husband called at the door: "Ding Yi, come and see what to do, I don't know how to use this washing machine." She couldn't remember when he started calling her "Ding Yi". At first, she was "Bao Yazi", and after she got married, she became "Daughter-in-law", and later she became "Ding Ding Ma". Calling his name, what do you want to do?Want to get rid of her? Before she could answer, Xiao Wen giggled and said, "Oh, you don't even know how to use the washing machine? You're such a nerd! Dr. Man, you're really enjoying yourself. Sister Ding must have taken care of everything at home. Ding Sister, you are busy with your work, I will do it, I can use the washing machine." As Xiao Wen said, he trotted into the house, and no one knew who had closed the door. She was so angry that her chest hurt, she was stunned for a while, dropped the small shovel in her hand, and rushed into the house, and heard Xiao Wen giggling upstairs, she didn't know what was so funny about doing laundry. She washed her hands in the bathroom downstairs, took a towel and dusted off her body, and went upstairs to the laundry room, where she saw her husband standing at the door of the laundry room, and Xiao Wen standing in the laundry room, talking through a ruler , Seeing her coming up, they all stopped talking, looking a little embarrassed. She squeezed into the laundry room in front of her husband, lifted the cover of the washing machine, threw the towel in her hand, and explained, "It's just a towel, let's wash it together." Xiao Wen said generously, "No problem, no problem." She couldn't wait to say, "This is my washing machine, I still have a problem washing towels"? The husband asked inexplicably, "Have you got things done downstairs?" She asked sullenly, "What's going on downstairs?" Xiao Wen interjected, "Miss Ding was tidying up the flower garden just now." The husband hurriedly imitated: "Didn't you clean up the flower garden downstairs just now? Did you clean it up?" She said in vain, "I haven't cleaned it up, do you want to help clean it up?" "How do you clean it up? I told you to do it." She said to herself, why are you pretending to be diligent?When did you tidy up the flower garden?Now that a chick is here, you want to look like a dog? Xiao Wen said positively: "I know how to tidy up the flower garden, I'll help Sister Ding tidy up." After Xiao Wen finished speaking, he squeezed out from the door, almost rubbing him, and then went downstairs, leaving the couple upstairs. She lowered her voice and said, "Why didn't you say anything, and you brought her home to do laundry?" "Would you like to say something while doing laundry?" "It's still a family, right? You don't tell me what you decide?" "Such a small matter..." "Is it a trivial matter that you have someone come to your house suddenly?" "I'm working in the laboratory, and she came to our house to do laundry, how can I say no?" "There's no washing machine where she lives?" "She said that many old Mo lived there, and she thought they were not clean, so she didn't want to share the washing machine with them." "Won't she go down the street and find a cleaner laundry?" "How can the laundry room on the street be as clean as ours?" "Then she's not afraid that we think she's unclean?" "Is she unclean?" She snorted and said, "Hmph, how do I know if she's clean or not? Only you know." The daughter heard them talking and ran over and asked, "Are you arguing?" The two quickly replied: "No, no, we didn't quarrel."
