The courtyard: the atmosphere of human life

Chapter 219 Stable Happiness

Although Ruyi is a new mother, she is 30 years old after all. She is more mature when it comes to stabilizing her emotions and taking care of children, so she does not have too much postpartum anxiety.

"Your second aunt just called and said she'll come to see you soon, and your lucky partner will come with you. Think before you speak, don't just speak without thinking."

As soon as Darong hung up the phone, she gave Ruyi some worried advice.

"I'll try my best, just don't let her provoke me." Ruyi answered proudly while holding Xiao Anan.

"You naughty child, you are still like this even though you are a mother. No matter what, you have to do it for Jixiang's sake. He finally found a girlfriend, don't ruin her again."

Darong said Ruyi again helplessly.

Because Jixiang's grades were not very good when he was in school, he went to a five-year school with three plus two years like Linlin. But in fact, the academic recognition of this kind of school is not very high, and if you don't choose the major well, finding a job itself is also a problem.

Fortunately, Zhong Yunhong has certain superpowers and helped Jixiang to contract some small projects.

But Jixiang is too young after all, and he has never experienced any hardships since he was a child. After entering the society, he directly contracted the projects. In name, he seems to be a boss, but in fact, he has not been doing well.

If a boy does not have a stable income and cannot take good care of the family, it will be a little difficult for him to fall in love.

"Where is this guy from? What does he do?" Ruyi had nothing to do, so she started chatting with Darong.

"I work in a government agency. I don't know where my home is, but it's in the southern suburbs."

"Civil servant?"

"No, it's a career-oriented one."

"That's a good job, how come you're with Jixiang?"

Ruyi didn't look down on Jixiang. After all, Jixiang's job was not stable and his educational level was not high.

If a girl can pass the civil service exam, she at least has an academic degree. After all, not many girls are willing to marry someone else, so everyone still hopes to find someone of equal status.

"The girl's family is not well off. Her father is ill and her mother is not very smart. She is dragged down by the family. Now she is old."

"Hey, thirty isn't considered old now, and it's not like you were young anymore..."

Before Ruyi could finish her words, there was a knock on the door, and the gossip chat between the mother and daughter came to an end.

"It's not easy for my elder sister. After so many years, I finally have this little treasure."

Wu Meifeng has always been a person who is good at chatting. She turned around with a smile and put the sleeping An An on the bed, suppressing her disgust.

Seeing that Ruyi and Darong just smiled and didn't respond, Wu Meifeng stood up from her chair on her own.

"This is my first time at my eldest sister's house. I want to take a look around."

After saying that, he walked around Ruyi's house, with the expression of "your house is so small" vividly expressed on his face.

"Tsk tsk tsk... I don't know why the houses in this city are so expensive. They dare to ask such a high price for a piece of land the size of a palm."

After taking a look around, Wu Meifeng pouted and complained about the outrageous housing prices.

There is an obvious difference in housing prices between the southern suburbs and the urban area. Although Ruyi’s current house is not in a good location, the price is indeed much higher than that in the southern suburbs.

Moreover, in order to buy a house for Jixiang, Wu Meifeng sold her original villa in the southern suburbs and bought two flats in the far suburbs. Although they are not small in size, everyone knows that the houses there are not valuable.

Ruyi glanced at Jixiang beside her, and after seeing the look from Darong, she lowered her head to take care of Xiao Anan and did not respond to Wu Meifeng's words.

"House prices aren't cheap anywhere right now. That's just the way the world is." Darong added politely.

"That's right. If I had known this a few years ago, I would have bought two more houses."

Fortunately, Wu Meifeng didn't say anything more. After sitting for a while, she took Jixiang and her future daughter-in-law away from Ruyi's house.

"Do you think she owes her son anything? She still blames my uncle for always scolding her. She and my aunt, two troublemakers in the family."

As soon as Darong closed the door and came in, Ruyi snorted coldly and said.

"We don't have the big houses like others, and they didn't say anything. Don't be so mean." Darong smiled helplessly and shook her head.

"I know my house is small, but it's very rude of her to do this. Who invited her to come and have a look? When I move to a bigger house in the future, I will have to invite her to have a look even if I don't invite anyone else."

Ruyi is still young after all. After feeling offended, she still feels indignant and difficult to accept.

Darong didn't say anything. She had also been through this age before and had a competitive mentality. But Ruyi was different from her. Her Ruyi was more confident in not giving up than her.

Ever since he advanced to a higher status, Xiao Huya's mental state has become different. Although he is almost forty years old, he has suddenly become youthful and energetic again.

During the time that Ruyi was in confinement, Xiao Huya took on all the care work at night. Even though Darong lived in the small bedroom next door, he never called for support.

"You looked down on him because he was too old at first, but now you have shown your advantages. You have a mature mentality and stable emotions. It's all thanks to him."

Ruyi happily showed off her little canine teeth to Darong, her face full of happiness.

The winter vacation was a little short. Ruyi had just finished her confinement and the new school year had quietly arrived. Xiao Huya had to return to work, leaving Darong at home to help Ruyi take care of the child.

"Mom, my maternity leave is almost over. After I go back to work, can you take care of him yourself?"

Ruyi looked at little An'an in her arms and said to Darong reluctantly.

"I have no problem with it, but I think you are a little short of it." Darong looked at Ruyi happily and joked.

In fact, the fundamental reason why most mothers cannot be free and easy is often not that there is no one to take care of the children, but that they are simply reluctant to let go. Ruyi is a very typical representative of this.

The experience of seeking a child for many years has made Ruyi cherish her child very much. Coupled with the joy of becoming a mother, Ruyi can't help but think of her little An An even when she is just shopping in the supermarket.

"Oh, that's right. I really can't bear to leave this little guy. I wish I could quit my job and accompany him every day." Ruyi said with a sigh.

"He is still young now, and all he does is sleep and eat. You don't feel tired. When he runs around, you will know it's time to go to work."

Darong is an experienced person. She still remembers how naughty Ruyi was when she was a child. Not to mention taking care of the child full-time every day, even taking care of the child independently on weekends is a real tough battle.
