Ji Huai has been very busy with work recently, leaving early and returning late.

Through Brother Qiang's relationship, he changed from a handyman shoveling soil to a small laborer doing plumbing work, and joined the team leader who contracted plumbing work.

The hard work is still the same, but it has changed from the hard work of basking in the sun outdoors to the hard work of installing wires indoors.

The salary is still the same.

But there is also a good thing. When team leaders contract big projects, they often get small floors or suites that they don't like, and the money they earn is just enough for food and clothing.

Skilled workers looked down on the money, and most of them were locals who didn't want to work overtime at night, so he naturally took over all the work.

During the day, he followed the water and electricity team leader at the construction site, and at night he took Zhang Qi through the small floors of one or two floors.

The other person also really wanted to learn skills, so he worked very hard, and surrounded him to concentrate on learning.

"Unplug the line first."

"Install a switch in this position. It will look better if the wiring is hidden instead of open wiring." Ji Huai was holding a few wires and explaining to Zhang Qi.

...

It can be said that Zhang Qi brought him an old hen raised at home in order to thank him.

His wife raised him and said she wanted to replenish Ai Qiao's health.

That night, when Ji Huai went back with the hen, Ai Qiao was confused, "Where did the chicken come from?"

"The boss gave it to me." He lied without changing his expression.

Ai Qiao knew that he went to work on the construction site during the day and also learned skills from a local man at night and worked as a handyman. He couldn't help but said, "He is quite nice."

After all, chickens are not cheap either.

"He said that I work hard and learn quickly. You are also pregnant. It's not easy for a couple to survive here. I'll give you some extra food." He threw the chicken in a corner. "I'll get up early tomorrow and help you kill it and cook some."

Soup makes up for it.”

They bought a rice cooker and cooking utensils. Now she cooks rice and soup by herself, which saves money and is nutritious.

"Do you want to raise raw eggs?" she suddenly asked.

Ji Huai laughed immediately and looked up at her sitting on the sofa, "Do you think you live in the country? Do you still want to make a nest for it and buy some rice to feed it?"

Ai Qiao is embarrassed.

She was wearing pajamas, and the child in her belly suddenly kicked her, causing her belly to bulge, which happened to be seen by Ji Huai.

The other party put his hand on her belly and said with a smile, "Your mother's IQ is a bit off, don't imitate her."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ai Qiao's face wrinkled and he hissed again, this time he kicked quite hard.

Little bad guy.

"She knows she was wrong. Don't bully her. Stay calm. It's time to sleep." He touched her gently again and said, "Dad, go take a bath."

As soon as he finished speaking, the little guy inside stopped moving.

Ai Qiao felt very helpless, and sometimes she felt it was magical. She lowered her head and looked at her stomach, and whispered softly, "Then you listen to your father?"

After waiting for a while, his stomach still didn't move.

No matter how noisy he is on weekdays, now he really feels like he's asleep.

late at night.

The two of them were lying on the bed.

Ai Qiao rested on his shoulder, and he hugged her from behind, wrapping his other hand around her waist and placing it on her bulging belly.

What he must do every day now is touch her belly and say a few words to her belly. When he is free, he plays with the little guy inside and lets it kick his palms. He is very patient.

"I found that you have changed." She turned her head and Xing'er stared at him.

Even from being so close, Ji Huai could see her delicate skin. It was as white as snow and felt great. He raised his hand, covered her face, and rubbed it slowly, "Why has it changed?"

"You've never been like this before." Aiqiao said without making it obvious, putting her hand on her belly, "You haven't talked to it much before."

He always said that she was the most important, and the children were second, so he basically didn't care about the children.

She also went to the prenatal check-up by herself.

At that time, she defended the baby, who was their child after all. Now that he paid more attention to it and never forgot to interact with the child every day, she was jealous.

Women are so inexplicable.

"I didn't feel anything before, but now when I think about meeting him, I feel quite magical." Ji Huai continued to touch her face, with longing in his eyes, "I don't know if he's more like you or more like me."

"Boy or girl."

She raised her head and looked at him, her eyes filled with smile again, "Do you like boys or girls?"

"Boy," he said.

"What if it's a girl?" She was a little worried and her voice was a little weaker. In the past, her grandparents thought she was not a boy.

She was also afraid that Ji Huai would be disliked.

"As a boy, you can protect you with me. If you're a girl, that's fine too. I like girls too."

"The girl must be as beautiful and lovable as you."

He is very good at coaxing people, and his mouth looks like it has been smeared with honey. With this good skin, when he speaks, his eyes are gentle and tender, which is very tempting.

"Have you tanned recently?" Ai Qiao unconsciously brought on the coquettishness of a little woman.

"What would a man do for free? Seducing a rich woman?" He asked with raised eyebrows, making her laugh, grabbing his hand and continuing to play with it.

"By the way, you said how many fellow villagers have come here to work recently?" Ji Huai seemed to have thought of something and lowered his head to ask her.

"Yes, Fang Lan said that she is still looking for a job in a factory." She nodded.

Ji Huai: "The construction site is short of people, why don't we let them go?"

"Is that okay? I'm just about to go find Fang Lan. Can I ask? Her brother is here too."

"Ask me, if I don't work tomorrow night, I will pick you up after get off work."

...

Ai Qiao returned to the factory the next day, carrying a bag of fruit and handing 20 yuan to Fang Lan.

"I don't want it, I just bought some fruits, forget about the rest." Fang Lan had no choice but to push the money back, "Don't be polite, it's all a trivial matter."

Ai Qiao still felt a little sorry. She asked Fang Lan to pick her up that day, and he bought her two meals. Everyone was working, so it was not easy to make money.

Ji Huai's income has been pretty good recently, and she has a lot of money, so she dared to come to her.

"We're both fellow countrymen, how are you and Ji Huai? I've been worried about you these days, but it looks like you're looking good." Although Fanglan was not very satisfied with Ji Huai, she didn't dare to make any comments. After all, they still get along.

.

Hearing this, Ai Qiao chuckled, "Well, I misunderstood him. He didn't leave."

As for what happened at the station, she won't talk about it. It's not a good thing to be left and right. People in the factory like to gossip, and things become messy as word spreads.

"Then what's his job now?" Fang Lan asked.

"On the construction site, I went to learn circuit decoration from others at night." Speaking of this, Ai Qiao was still a little pleased.

However, some people just like to find trouble. He Qiuxiang just walked in and said, "Why are you going to the construction site? Aren't you ashamed? How embarrassing."

As she spoke, she walked in, sat down as soon as she could, reached for the oranges Ai Qiao brought today, peeled them and ate them.

Ai Qiao looked over and saw that the other person was wearing black clothes, revealing a thin gold necklace. His complexion was dark, which really made the gold necklace particularly conspicuous.

Fanglan frowned. He Qiuxiang had the nerve to come. What did he do to Ai Qiao last time that he didn't know in his heart?

Even though everyone in her dormitory was there, Ai Qiao wouldn't quarrel with her. She said loudly while eating an orange, "Are you going to the construction site to move bricks?"

"I don't know what to do specifically, but I heard from Ji Huai that there is a shortage of people now. Let me ask your brother if they can go?" Ai Qiao asked Fang Lan without speaking to her.

"Of course I'll go, as long as I have a job, and the construction site is not bad, boys should exercise more." Fang Lan immediately agreed, a little surprised, "Will your Ji Huai take him there?"

It's good to have someone taking care of you.

"If my brother doesn't go, he might as well find a job in a factory." He Qiuxiang pursed his lips and said in a strange tone, "Tsk, it's under the bright sun."

Ai Qiao pretended not to hear what she said and lost the battle with the fool. She looked at Fang Lan and said, "The salary is pretty good. I heard it's twenty-one days and includes two meals."

"Really?" Fang Lan's eyes lit up and she said immediately, "Both my brother and his friend can go."

Nowadays, many factories only earn more than 200 yuan a month, and they still have to work overtime. Small factories that are more leisurely earn more than 100 yuan a month.

Twenty-two days a day, just over 600 a month, which is a high salary.

He Qiuxiang also stopped and stared, "Is it true?"

Her brother also came here this time and has not found a job yet.

"Well, there are just two missing. I'll go back and tell him." Ai Qiao answered, completely ignoring He Qiuxiang. In fact, he was deliberately angry with her.

Fang Lan pulled Ai Qiao to sit down and said with a smile, "It seems that Ji Huai is quite profitable now. Where do you live now?"

Ai Qiao replied: "I'm currently living on Xuhe Road. After I give birth to the baby next month and I'm discharged from the hospital, I'll move to Chennan Road. He said that renting a bigger house will make it easier for me to take care of the baby."
