May 3rd was the last day of Han Bin's vacation. He had originally wanted to spend some alone time with Wang Ting.
However, plans couldn't keep up with changes. Li Hui invited him and Wang Ting to his house.
Han Bin hadn't seen Li Hui for a while. Although they were both policemen, one was in the Municipal Public Security Bureau while the other was in the Yu Hua Branch. They were usually busy with their own things and rarely had time to be together.
Li Hui's daughter was almost five months old. Han Bin had only seen her in pictures and hadn't seen her in person. He could use this opportunity to see the child.
In the morning, Han Bin and Wang Ting went to the mall and bought some clothes and toys for the child.
Although Wang Ting often bought clothes, she only bought her own clothes. She wasn't good at buying clothes for the child. She wasn't sure what size a five-month-old child should wear. She could only ask the shop assistant and buy a slightly bigger size. Even if she couldn't wear it now, she could wear it later. If she bought it small, she wouldn't be able to wear it at all.
Han Bin and Wang Ting bought a bunch of things for the child and some fruits before going to Li Hui's house.
Li Hui's house wasn't too far from Han Bin's house. It was also a relatively new neighborhood.
Li Hui knew that Han Bin and Wang Ting were coming, so he was already waiting at the entrance of the neighborhood. When he saw Han Bin and Wang Ting carrying bags, he quickly went up to them. "Didn't I say that I wouldn't let you buy anything? I haven't seen you for a few days and you're already treating me like an outsider."
Han Bin said, "In your dreams. This isn't for you. These clothes and toys are for my niece, and the fruits are for sister-in-law. "
Li Hui spread his hands. "Fine, pretend I didn't ask anything."
"Wang Ting, let me hold it." Li Hui reached out and took the bag from Wang Ting's hands.
"Thank you."
"Don't mention it. I should be thanking you for buying so many things for my daughter."
Wang Ting said, "It's also my first time buying it. I don't know if it's suitable."
Han Bin looked Li Hui up and down. "You were complaining to me on the phone about how tiring it was to raise a child, but I see that not only did you not lose weight, you even gained a lot of weight."
Li Hui smiled bitterly. "I don't have a choice. My wife doesn't have enough milk. Mom stews pork trotters and crucian carp soup every day. Sometimes she doesn't like it, so I have to eat it. How can I not be fat?"
"It's good enough that you have something to eat. Don't take it for granted."
"What are you saying? Did Wang Ting starve you?"
"Our Tingting can't bear to do that. Don't try to drive a wedge between us."
"Speaking of which, the two of you have known each other for quite some time. You started dating before me and Wei Na did. We both have children now. When are the two of you going to do it?"
Han Bin laughed. "I can't wait for that. Any time is fine."
Wang Ting smiled without saying a word.
Li Hui said, "Brother Bin, you have to be careful. Don't just say it. You have to do it."
Han Bin looked curious. "Then tell me, what did you do when you proposed to sister-in-law? How many times did you succeed?"
"I …" Li Hui paused for a moment and raised his chin. "Don't you know how capable I am? I definitely succeeded in one try."
Han Bin said, "I don't know if you have the capability, but you talk a lot. I'll have to ask sister-in-law about this later and I'll know if it's true or not."
"Don't, don't, don't. She'll be embarrassed if you ask her." Li Hui smiled bitterly.
Actually, Li Hui did not propose formally. He did not buy a wedding ring in advance or get down on one knee to propose. The two of them lived together because of the epidemic. They had nothing to do all day and could not go out, so they accidentally got pregnant.
Since she was pregnant, they had to give birth. The rest of the process was natural. After the two of them got engaged, Li Hui brought Zhou Weina to buy three gold jewelry. Whether it was the ring, the necklace, or the earrings, Zhou Weina picked them all herself.
The whole process was not romantic at all. In Zhou Weina's words, the whole process of getting married was rushed by the little one in her stomach. They did not have the time to be romantic even if they wanted to.
If they delayed it any longer, it would be obvious. What would they do about the wedding?
Li Hui did not dare to let Han Bin ask this question. If Zhou Weina was unhappy, he would not be able to live a good life.
The three of them arrived at Li Hui's house. The moment they opened the door, they heard a child crying.
Li Hui said helplessly, "This little girl just likes to cry. She's quite noisy."
After entering the house, Han Bin saw Li Hui's mother carrying a little girl while Zhou Weina was playing with the child.
Seeing Han Bin and Wang Ting, Zhou Weina quickly came over. "Han Bin, Wang Ting, you're here. Come in and sit."
Han Bin greeted them, "Auntie, Sister-in-law."
Wang Ting said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry about us. Coax the child first."
Zhou Weina said, "She's a crybaby. Coax her."
The child cried loudly and the adults could not speak. Zhou Weina could only coax her daughter with toys. Li Hui felt a little awkward at the side. He was usually busy with work and rarely played with children. Faced with such a situation, he was helpless.
After Zhou Weina coaxed the child for a while, the child stopped crying. Li Hui's mother carried the child into the house and coaxed her to sleep.
Wang Ting looked at the clock on the wall. It was only ten in the morning. She said in surprise, "Is the child sleepy? Why is she sleeping at this hour? "
Zhou Weina said, "A child of her age usually sleeps three times a day. She sleeps in the morning and afternoon for a while. She doesn't sleep for long, only about an hour each time."
"Then is she crying because she's sleepy?"
"Sigh …" Zhou Weina sighed and smiled bitterly. "She cries when she's sleepy, when she's hungry, when she wakes up, and when she's unhappy. I can't really explain it."
Hearing Zhou Weina's words, Wang Ting was a little hesitant. She squeezed out a smile. "Sister Zhou, I bought some clothes for the child. Do you think they're suitable?"
"Aiya, you're too polite. Just come. Why did you buy clothes for a little person like her?"
"When we were shopping, we thought it was pretty, so we bought it for her." As she spoke, Wang Ting opened the package and took out the clothes inside.
"Aiya, it's really pretty. I've never bought such nice clothes for her before."
Wang Ting said, "I don't know much about children's clothes, but the material feels quite comfortable. Do you think it's the right size?"
Zhou Weina picked up the child's clothes and gestured. "It's about right. It should fit. When she wakes up later, let her try it on."
"As long as it fits." Wang Ting smiled. "I didn't dare to buy it small. I'm afraid it'll be too big and out of season."
"It's okay. There's heating in the house in winter. It'll still be worn out of season."
Wang Ting and Zhou Weina talked about the child, while Han Bin and Li Hui talked about work. They hadn't seen each other for a while and had a lot to talk about.
With the child at home, they didn't have time to cook. They ate hotpot. The ingredients were prepared in advance, so they could eat after washing the vegetables.
Li Hui's family bought a two-bedroom apartment. The so-called dining room and living room were connected. It was fine before they had a child, but after they had a child, there were a lot more things in the house. There were bottles, cans, and many toys. It was more or less crowded.
Han Bin and Wang Ting also experienced the life of a child for a while.
They didn't dare to speak loudly. They had to take turns to eat. They had to coax the child when he cried. In short, everything revolved around the child.
Fortunately, Li Hui's mother came from her hometown to help. Otherwise, the couple wouldn't have been able to have a child.
But because of this, Li Hui and Zhou Weina lost their world. Although the couple saw each other every day, it was similar to the cowherd and weaver girl.
The house was small, and the soundproofing of the two rooms was not good. In addition, there was a child in the house. There was basically nothing they could do.
Ever since they had a child, Li Hui and Zhou Weina had almost lost their world. It wasn't that they didn't want to, but the conditions didn't allow it.
When they were young, many people felt that they were Han Bin, but after they grew up, they realized that they had lived as Li Hui.
After lunch, Han Bin and Wang Ting left. It wasn't that they didn't want to stay, but they were afraid of affecting the child.
The little girl was a little afraid of strangers. She was fine when she saw Wang Ting, but she cried when she saw Han Bin. She was so scared that she didn't even drink her milk.
Well, looking at this situation, Han Bin should leave quickly.
After staying at Li Hui's house for half a day, Han Bin had a deeper understanding of married life. He still preferred his current single life. He was free, comfortable, and he could do whatever he wanted when he was young.
Of course, if Wang Ting wanted to get married, Han Bin wouldn't refuse.
His relationship with Wang Ting was relatively stable, and they were suitable in all aspects. Although there might be some changes after marriage, he felt that it was acceptable.
As for the matter of having a child, Han Bin felt that it was a little too early and wanted to wait.
However, they would definitely have a child. Compared with the situation of Li Hui's family, Han Bin's was much better.
First of all, Han Bin and Wang Ting were only children. At that time, the elderly on both sides could help take care of the children. Secondly, the housing was relatively more spacious, especially Han Bin's parents and Han Bin's parents lived upstairs. They helped take care of the children during the day and went downstairs to sleep at night. The couple would also have their own space.
He didn't know if it was Han Bin's illusion, but every rest time passed very quickly.
In the blink of an eye, Han Bin had already rested for three days. On May 4th, he had to go to the Municipal Bureau to work overtime.
Although it was called overtime, it was actually nothing. As long as he stayed in the office, it didn't matter whether he was working or daydreaming. Even if he slept, it was fine.
Of course, this was when there was nothing to do.
If the Municipal Bureau had something to do, he had to be there. If he wasn't there, then he had something to do.
He hadn't been there for three days, and the office was dusty. Han Bin wiped the table, made a cup of tea, and leaned against the window in a daze for a while.
He drank three cups of tea in a row, and it was a little weak.
Han Bin walked out of the office and threw away the tea bag. He was preparing to go to the two teams for an inspection.
The one on duty for Team 2 was He Yingsheng. He was looking down at his computer, and Han Bin couldn't be bothered with what he was doing.
As long as he was there, it was fine.
It's fine. You can do whatever you want. If something happens, you must take the responsibility.
Han Bin chatted with He Yingsheng for a while, and then he went to Team 1.
When he reached the entrance of Team 1, he heard a burst of laughter.
From the sound, Han Bin knew it was Huang Qianqian who was on duty.
Han Bin pushed the door open and walked in. He saw Huang Qianqian on the phone. Her big eyes were squinting, and her mouth was wide open.
When Huang Qianqian saw Han Bin, she immediately hung up the phone.
"Oh, who are you calling?"
Huang Qianqian changed her expression. "Ah, 10086. So annoying."
"I can't even breathe from laughing. 10086? Why don't you say it's 110?"
Huang Qianqian's eyes widened. "You … How could you eavesdrop on someone else's phone? Don't you know it's immoral?"
"Forget it. I can hear your laughter even through the door. I don't want to hear it."
"Ahem … Then why didn't you say anything?"
"Who were you talking to?"
"An old classmate. I haven't seen him for a long time. He was talking about some embarrassing things in school."
"Are you serious? It doesn't sound like it. "
"Aiya, of course it's true. Why are you so nosy?" Huang Qianqian snorted. "What else do you want? If not, I'm going to work."
The more Huang Qianqian behaved like this, the more Han Bin felt that something was up. But since she didn't want to talk about it, Han Bin couldn't be bothered to ask. "Remember to order takeout for me at noon."
"What do you want to eat?"
"You decide. I'll just have something for lunch."
"Anything, Brother-in-law. This isn't your style."
"Your sister asked me out for dinner tonight."
"Oh, no wonder." Huang Qianqian looked like she understood. "What do you guys want to eat? Where are we going? "
"Nanguo Mall. She wants to eat the Japanese buffet."
Han Bin walked to the door and turned his head. "Do you want to go with us?"
"You only remembered me now? You're not sincere. I'm not going."
"It's very expensive."
"I'm not going either."
Han Bin was surprised. "That's not right. It's not your style. You've never missed meals before. "
"Why are you looking at me like that … I'm not feeling well."
"What's wrong? Do you want to rest? "
"Aiya, no need. You're a man. Why are you asking so much about women's matters?"
Han Bin shrugged. He couldn't be bothered to say more. It seemed like it wasn't serious.
After eating a simple fried pancake for lunch and taking a nap in the afternoon, Han Bin got off work at around five o 'clock.
Han Bin picked up Wang Ting. She didn't look well. "What's wrong? Are you not feeling well? "
"It's nothing."
"It's really nothing."
"It's really nothing."
"Then let's go eat the Japanese buffet."
Wang Ting said, "Let's eat another day."
"Why?"
"My relatives are here."
"Your relatives are all quite …" Han Bin was halfway through his sentence when he changed the topic. "It's not good to eat cold food. Why don't we go eat barbecue? It'll help you recover."
The two of them drove to Wanda Plaza. There was a good barbecue restaurant there. Han Bin happened to be a member.
"Are you busy with work today?"
"Not really."
"Oh yeah, Qianqian seems to be working overtime today. Did you see her?"
"I did. I even invited her for dinner, but she didn't come."
"How is that possible? It doesn't seem like something she would do. Did the sun rise from the west? "Wang Ting was also a little surprised.
"It's not the sun. It's her relatives."
At first, Wang Ting was confused. Then, she reacted. "She's also … That's not right. We're not on time …"
Forget it. Wang Ting didn't want to say too much in front of Han Bin. She would be late for work and leave early. Who could be on time every time?
Soon, the two of them arrived at the barbecue restaurant in Wanda Plaza. This barbecue restaurant was called Jiujiang Barbecue Restaurant. It was quite famous in Qin Island. Han Bin had been here twice. The meat was very fresh and the service was good. The only drawback was that it was a little expensive.
When they arrived at the restaurant, Han Bin and Wang Ting chose a relatively quiet place. Wang Ting ordered while Han Bin went to prepare the ingredients.
There were many kinds of ingredients, so they could choose whatever they wanted. Han Bin came back with two plates of ingredients. Wang Ting also ordered.
"See if there's anything else you want to eat."
"Let's eat first. We'll talk if there's not enough later."
"That's fine." Wang Ting gave the menu to the waiter. The two of them checked and the waiter left.
To make it easier to eat, Wang Ting tied up her hair.
Inadvertently turning her head, Wang Ting saw a familiar figure. "Hey, that looks like Qianqian."
"It can't be. She's not feeling well."
"Look. She's sitting at the same table with a man."
Han Bin turned his head and saw a man and a woman sitting at the table diagonally opposite. From the back, the woman indeed looked like Huang Qianqian. She was wearing an apricot sweater, the same as what Huang Qianqian wore to work today.
There was also a young man sitting next to Huang Qianqian. The two of them sat side by side, talking and laughing like a couple in love.
Although he couldn't see the man's face, Han Bin felt that the man was a little familiar.
