The train ran from day to night, from the plains to the mountains, from the prosperous to the remote.

The hustle and bustle of the city can no longer be heard, only the monotonous "clang, clang, clang" beats the eardrums unhurriedly. The high-rise buildings in the city are no longer visible, and the scenery outside the window has changed into rolling mountains.

Mu Yi, who was lying on the upper bunk, looked at his wife and mother-in-law, who were sleeping soundly in the middle and lower bunks, and was filled with emotions. He seemed to be still the handsome young man who had just walked out of school, and in the blink of an eye he had become a husband for the first time.

, I am a son-in-law for the first time, and I will soon become a father for the first time. But, what can I give them?

For a moment, Mu Yi's mood was extremely low. He even felt that he shouldn't have looked at Jin Lily one more time on that bus. If he hadn't looked at her that way, if he hadn't said those words to her, it would have been too much.

If...then, there wouldn't be today, and there wouldn't be all the troubles at the moment. He felt that he had harmed Jin Lily and dragged her down in her life. He couldn't afford to buy exquisite jewelry for her, but he couldn't afford it.

He couldn't afford high-end clothes, cosmetics, and bags for her, and he couldn't even eat as much as he wanted from Jinli's snacks... He felt that he shouldn't drag her into his muddy life at all.

However, there is no regret medicine in this world. If marrying Jin Lily was a mistake, then he can only try to correct this mistake in the right direction. So what is right?

Perhaps, this has to make Mu Yi think about his own life. Think about what kind of life he wants. So what is the life Mu Yi wants in his inner world?

The life he wants to live is actually very simple. It is nothing more than good health, smooth work, a happy family, and a successful career. However, from the current point of view, he has basically achieved half of his life. That is, his body is still basically healthy and his work is still basic.

Everything goes smoothly. But family happiness is a little hard to say. Since getting married, many relationships have undergone qualitative changes. Sweet love will eventually have to face the daily necessities of life, food, housing, and milk powder. And career has reached a bottleneck, as if there is a layer of

The thick transparent glass ceiling blocked him from going up to the next floor, making him see hope, but more despair than no hope at all.

He knows that some people have paid a lot of "price" to break the ceiling. There once was a certain leader who was half joking and half serious when everyone was drinking together: What is officialdom?

? Officialdom is a series of activities carried out by people who are officials and people who want to be officials for the sake of the word "official", as well as the methods, content and form of the activities. This is officialdom. If you can't understand what it is

Officialdom, then imagine a vegetable market. They have similar approaches but the same purpose.

Mu Yi seems to understand but not understand, understand but not understand.

In order to take that step, some people took out loans and debts. Some people loosened their clothes and took off their belts in order to take that step. However, Mu Yi did not want to do anything to gain power. He did not want to obtain belts.

He has the power of original sin. He is afraid that if he takes that road, he will be like taking the poison of power, unable to stop, and unable to turn back. He will not only betray his beliefs, but also be completely contrary to his original intention. However, every time he looks at it,

Mu Yi still felt a little resentful when he saw those villains with mediocre abilities, who tended to follow others, who were flattering and flattering, and who used some money and tricks to rise to the top and become the leaders.

His thoughts wandered too far. Mu Yi still had to think about how to take the road of life at present. Seeing that Jin Lily's belly was getting bigger day by day, the little guy was getting closer and closer to coming out to meet his father. Mu Yi even thought

I can feel the little guy teasing me through my belly.

The most important thing right now is a house. But the two of them only have 40,000 yuan in hand. How easy is it to buy a house? Thinking of home, getting married, and Brother Jun opening a shop. Mu Yi's heart felt a little sore.

.The annual rent for Brother Jun to open a shop and rent two small stores is 4,000 yuan. It costs another 8,000 yuan to buy medicines, feeds, and go through the formalities. Then for the convenience of transportation, he buys a motorcycle and applies for a license, which costs another 5,000 yuan.

Thousand. One person was injured, and the medical expenses were 3,000... Coupled with the constant replenishment, stocking up, and credit, the investment will only get bigger and bigger... Parents can't count on it. Their thoughts can't be counted.

I can see it.

The only way is to borrow money. Who can he borrow from? Who will lend it? Mu Yi closed his eyes and thought for a while, except for Wen Qingfeng and Yu Wa'er, no one in the world would lend him money, right?

!Bank loans require collateral. Usury is simply a nightmare.

Will his father-in-law lend him money? Their family has the financial strength. The annual income from roasting wine is at least 100,000 yuan in net profit, plus the income from selling pigs is also 20,000 to 30,000 yuan, and the income from medical visits is also 20,000 yuan.

to 30,000 yuan, excluding other sporadic income. Adding up these three major incomes, the annual income is almost more than 150,000 yuan. Even if 50,000 yuan is used for household expenses, the minimum net balance per year is at least 100,000 yuan.

.And also borrowed 100,000 yuan.

However, Mu Yi was not confident in asking to borrow money, because Jin Lily did not have much status in her natal family. This was indeed unspeakable in terms of their family's financial strength and her dowry. After all, cousin Jin

When Yanli got married, her family not only gave her a lot of things as a dowry, but also gave her 80,000 yuan. The economic strength of Jin Baihe's family was much stronger than that of Jin Yanli's.

Just when Mu Yi's thoughts were in a mess, the flight attendant came to exchange the ticket.

It was already evening when we got off the train and returned to Xigui.

The mother-in-law went back to her parents' home to rest. Mu Yi and Jin Baihe returned to No. 10 Shunzhong Lane. Jin Lily suddenly felt some pain in her stomach in the middle of the night, but in the middle of the night, Xigui's hospital could not find a doctor except the doctor on duty.

The doctor who did the examination didn't feel any pain until dawn.

Just in case, Mu Yi took Jin Lily to the county hospital for a check-up. After the check-up, the doctor's general conclusion was that the pregnant woman was too tired and needed to rest. The fetal position was normal and the fetus was healthy. Check-up process

Mu Yidu was by his side, and he had a vague and strong feeling in his heart that this child was a daughter.

After leaving the hospital, Mu Yi's mood was extremely complicated. He thought a lot. The most direct thing is that the child is a daughter. In this environment that favors sons over daughters, what choice should Mu Yi make?

When you meet acquaintances and friends on the road, everyone will ask a few questions with concern.

"Are you pregnant with a handsome boy or a beautiful girl?"

"I checked. Is it a cattle herder or an embroiderer?"

…

They thought Muyi and his wife were going to check the gender of the fetus. In the subconscious mind of many people, if they are pregnant with a girl and are subject to the family planning policy, some cruel people will choose to abort the fetus. The state clearly prohibits the use of ultrasound and

Chromosome examination and other technical means are used to perform non-medically necessary fetal gender identification and non-medically necessary gender-selective artificial termination of pregnancy. However, some people will still find ways to achieve what they want. As a result, there are some baby girls in the world who cannot live up to expectations.

Come to the human world.

Mu Yi would not make such a choice. He could only bury the pressure he was under silently in his heart.

Seeing that there was no one around, Jin Lily couldn't help but asked excitedly: "Brother, you have been watching the doctor's examination just now. Have you seen whether it is a son or a daughter?"

Mu Yi told Jin Lily with a smile on his face: "I see clearly, I am pregnant with a son. However, we still don't make any announcement. What if I am wrong? If I give birth to a daughter in the future, I will be passive."

Jin Lily nodded repeatedly. "Yes. Brother, you are right. You need to keep a low profile."

After Jin Lily took a day off to rest, she went to work the next day.

Mu Yi is also busy preparing some recruitment report materials in the unit. Soon the unit will recruit two staff members. In this way, the unit's strength will be greatly enriched.

On Friday, Chief Shen unexpectedly appeared in the office. Before Mu Yi could react, Master Hong greeted him with a smile on his face: "Chief Shen, you are here."

Section Chief Shen said with some embarrassment: "Oh. Now that I'm back, I still like the Work Safety Bureau."

Mu Yi quickly greeted: "Hello, Director Shen."

Section Chief Shen: "Hello, Director Mu."

Mu Yi said with some embarrassment: "You are the old director."

Section Chief Shen smiled and said, "You are the new director."

…

After work, in order to welcome Director Shen, everyone went to a restaurant for a meal. Then they went to the Song City to have a wail and howl.

It turns out that the county's personnel have been fine-tuned. The former director of the office, Shen, went to the National People's Congress and became the deputy section chief, and now he has been transferred back to the Work Safety Bureau as the deputy director.

Now it’s comfortable. A deputy director has come to the unit, and two staff members are coming. Suddenly, the 5-person unit has been transformed into an 8-person unit, and the number of personnel has increased by 60%, giving people a feeling of strong troops. However, the leadership staff is already fully staffed. When Deputy Director Shen arrives, there will be one more deputy director in the unit.

It seems that either the director of the Red Army will retire soon, and a director will be created from Deputy Director Qian or Deputy Director Mao, so that the leadership will not be overstaffed. Or one of Deputy Director Qian or Deputy Director Mao will be transferred out soon. .Otherwise, leaders will always be overstaffed.

When Mu Yi returned to No. 10 Shunzhong Lane drunkenly, Jin Baili ignored him and lay on the bed sulking.

Mu Yi hurriedly went to coax her. After coaxing her, she actually became more enthusiastic. A series of righteous accusations made Mu Yi seem to have made some unspeakable and heinous mistake.

Mu Yi even felt that this Golden Lily was being unreasonable and threatening her with the fetus. Although she was very angry in her heart, she continued to coax her. After coaxing her for a long time, she finally said: "Look at you. You are having fun outside by yourself. .I don’t care that I still have a wife and a baby waiting to be fed at home.”

It turned out that Jin Lily suffered from motion sickness when she came back. When she endured her discomfort and returned to the house, not only did she not see Mu Yi's figure, but even the fire was turned off. She suddenly broke down.

I don’t know why, but as she entered the later stages of pregnancy, Golden Lily’s psychology unknowingly became sensitive, fragile, and irritable. It was really elusive. Even she herself couldn’t understand herself. , why does it become like this.

She called Mu Yi, but she couldn't get through. The phone was turned off. This made him even more angry. And Mu Yi's cell phone turned off automatically because it had no power. Of course, she couldn't get through.

Mu Yi thought that for a person as big as Jin Lily, he should know how to get food when he came back. If he really didn't want to do it, he could just buy some food outside and come back to rest. But he never expected that this Jin Lily

Lily was so angry that she lay on the bed without eating or drinking. When she came back, she would be blamed.

Mu Yi then wanted to take Jin Lily out for dinner. Jin Lily refused to go out and asked Mu Yi to cook noodles for herself.

Okay. The drunken Mu Yi picked up the knife to chop firewood, preparing to light the fire. One knife, two knife, three knife... Suddenly a sharp pain suddenly made Mu Yi wake up. It turned out that the knife hit his hand.

, although the cut was a little off, the hand was still injured, and bright red blood suddenly flowed from his hand. Mu Yi quickly ran back to the house to find a piece of cloth to stop the bleeding.

Seeing Mu Yi's hands full of blood, Jin Lily also regretted it. She complained about Mu Yi's carelessness, felt sorry for him for cutting his hand, and even regretted why she asked him to cook noodles? If she didn't insist on him going.

Even if you cook noodles and just go out to eat, something like this won't happen? She blamed Mu Yi and herself at the same time.

The wound was tied up. Mu Yi still stubbornly lit the fire, silently heated a pot, poured oil, beat eggs... made a bowl of egg noodles for Jin Lily, and let Jin Lily eat it.

At dawn, the two of them went back to Jin's main road.

Zhang Xuefen saw Mu Yi's hands tied with cloth and asked how he was injured.

Mu Yi said that he had accidentally cut himself. Zhang Xuefen urged the two of them to go to the Wattang Clinic to see a doctor and get some medicine to avoid infection.

Mu Yi didn't want Jin Lily to walk, so he asked her to stay. He went to Wattang alone to clean and bandage his hands. Then, he took a look at Brother Jun and his father's business.

Seeing that they looked a bit sad, they seemed to be still angry with each other. Muyi was a little confused.

"Dad. Brother Jun. What's wrong with you?"

"What's wrong? Ask him." Brother Jun said with some resentment. Mu Yi noticed that Brother Jun told himself to ask "him", not "Dad".

"Dad, what's going on?"

"What's going on? You are responsible for Ping Ping's business. The business is doing well. He is responsible for visiting people and giving injections and medical treatment. I am responsible for selling feed. Just because I bought some feed on credit and can't receive the money for the time being, he said to me

It’s useless.” My father complained.

"Tell me well. Did I say that you are useless? Those people just say the names of cats and dogs, and you will give out one bag, two bags, three bags and five bags of feed on credit. If you do it for a day, you will be able to pay for it over time.

It's a big problem. I see that business is doing very well, but the more I pay, the more money I borrow. Now that it's fine, I can't get back the money for the feed I borrowed on credit. I can't fight for the money anymore. You said it's not your fault, but who is to blame?

There isn’t one either. You said I should ask that person for feed money?”

My father muttered in a low voice: "The person still wrote the note and had his fingerprints pressed."

"Those notes of yours are all for nothing. Just write about cats and dogs. There are so many cats and dogs. Do you know which one it is?"

Father and Brother Jun were angry with each other. The business was naturally in bad shape. Mu Yi quickly asked them about the difference in feed money. He didn’t know that even if he didn’t ask, he was shocked when he asked. There was actually a difference of more than 20,000 yuan.
