Shen Fenghua's rice smelled amazing. We were originally planning to wait for the whole family to come back and eat together, but seeing how pitiful Shen Fenghua looked, Grandma couldn't bear to let her go.

"Come here, stop following me around like a kitten. Even Big Yellow isn't as clingy as you."

Shen Fenghua was not ashamed, but rather proud. "So what? It's only natural for me to be attached to my own grandmother. Some people can't even be attached to her if they want to."

Grandma was also amused by Shen Fenghua's words, saying, "You, all you have left is your sweet talk. Stop chasing after me, it's making me dizzy."

As she spoke, she ladled out more than half a bowl of tomato and egg drop soup from the pot. "There are small stools in the back. Sit down and eat slowly."

Shen Fenghua didn't pretend at all. She took the bowl and even picked up the vinegar bottle from the stove and poured a lot of vinegar into it.

Even the grandmother next to me felt a pang of sympathy watching it.

Goodness, this person is so jealous!

Seeing Shen Fenghua so jealous, Grandma offered a few words of advice, "Take your jealousy to a minimum. No matter what it is, too much of anything is never good."

Shen Fenghua nodded, "Grandma, I know, but..."

She looked somewhat embarrassed and said with a pained expression, "I'm only thinking about this right now. I can't eat anything sour."

Grandma sighed, "Eat up, eat up."

Shen Fenghua chuckled and happily ate her bowl, but her grandmother couldn't watch anymore. It was a pity; perhaps it was because she was getting old, but now even looking at these things made her teeth ache.

After Xili slurped down half a bowl of rice, Qi Ye took the two children home for lunch. Looking at Shen Fenghua, Qi Ye's brows, which had been furrowed all the way, relaxed. "You scared me. Are you going to wait for me over there today? Come back by yourself. It's dangerous if something happens on the way."

In the past, Qi Ye would go to the steel plant to wait for Shen Fenghua whenever he had time. Sometimes he would go home to eat, and sometimes he would take the children to a state-run restaurant to get a couple of hearty dishes to eat together.

However, ever since Shen Fenghua became pregnant, she has been eating at home whenever she has time.

Qi Ye went to pick up Shen Fenghua this time but failed. He was terrified the whole way back. Now that he saw her sitting in the kitchen unharmed, he finally felt a little relieved.

Shen Fenghua chuckled, "Oh dear, it's my fault. I forgot today. Something came up. Let's eat first, and I'll tell you the details after we've finished eating."

While the two were talking, Nianping and Nian'an had already obediently set the table with tableware, and the family of five sat down to eat.

They were all from humble families and didn't adhere to the so-called rules of not speaking while eating or sleeping.

After they finished eating, they started talking at the dinner table.

Qi Ye looked at Shen Fenghua and asked, "What did you just say happened?"

"Yes, it's about our factory. A young woman wants to switch jobs with me..."

She recounted the whole story again, this time not only using more concise language, but also showing a slightly more vague understanding of the matter.

Anyway, it won't be like before, where I was always hesitant and overthinking everything I did.

Qi Ye pondered for a moment, "This matter mainly depends on your personal wishes." He put a piece of meat on Shen Fenghua's plate, "I will take care of the family's food, clothing and daily necessities. Even if I am useless, I will not let our whole family, the old and the young, go hungry with me."

"So when you're considering this, all you need to think about is whether you're willing or not, and you don't need to worry about the rest."

This is Qi Ye's confidence. If he were still a platoon leader, he would have to think twice before saying such a thing. But he is about to be promoted to battalion commander, and his salary and benefits will increase to a good level.

When Shen Fenghua heard Qi Ye say this, it was as if she had a way out. So what if she failed?

Besides, Shen Fenghua herself isn't the type to sit quietly in the office all day.

If she sits for too long, she loses control and wants to wander around.

The procurement department's work actually suited her quite well. Analyzing it, while the work could be incredibly hectic at times, during quieter periods she only needed to make a quick check, and the rest of the time…

Go wherever you want.

As long as you complete the task, the factory will make everything much easier for you.

The salary is a bit low, but the purchasing position can also bring her a lot of help. For example, when she has nothing to do, she can maintain relationships with other factories.

Such as canneries, cotton mills, candy factories...

Aren't those just readily available snacks, thick cotton coats, and brown sugar?

The more she thought about it, the more tempted she became. Shen Fenghua now felt that even without the two hundred yuan, she would switch jobs.

However, it would be foolish not to use money. He Tiantian has her own difficulties, but Shen Fenghua also has her own difficulties. She and her husband work hard to earn money together.

You can change jobs, but you can't lose the money you're owed.

“Fine,” Shen Fenghua slammed her hand on the table, “Then I’ll make the decision myself?”

"Yes, whatever decision you make, I will support you."

In fact, according to Qi Ye's inner thoughts, he felt that even if Shen Fenghua did nothing but stay at home, he could support her. Not to mention, she was pregnant. He felt a little worried when he followed her to and from work by bike.

He had thought about these words in his mind, but he had never said them aloud.

He knew that the house was too small to contain her.

Shen Fenghua is destined to shine brightly in the outside world.

He didn't want to break her wings; he just wanted her to fly freely in the sky. As long as she was tired, she could remember that there was a home here, and that would be enough.

Nianping and Nian'an listened for a while but didn't understand. However, they still managed to imitate what they heard. "Mom, we support you too."

“Yes, yes, yes,” Nian’an nodded repeatedly, like a chick pecking at rice. “Mom, it doesn’t matter if I don’t have a job. When I get married, I can take you with me!”

Qi Nian'an's eyes lit up as he eagerly pledged his loyalty. He had understood this point when his mother was gossiping earlier, and he thought He Tiantian was really amazing, managing to bring his mother with her when she got married.

When he gets married, he'll bring his mother with him.

Nian'an glanced at her grandmother, who looked somewhat dazed, and thought for a moment, realizing that she had to treat everyone equally.

Therefore, she thoughtfully said, "Grandma, I will take you with me when I get married."

Everyone: "..."

When Shen Fenghua heard Qi Nian'an's words, her first reaction was to be moved. She never expected that she would be so important in her son's eyes. Her second reaction was that something was wrong.

Wait a minute?

What does it mean to get married?

He's a boy, getting married?

Shen Fenghua: "Pfft~"

She couldn't help but laugh out loud.
