From a life of blissful idleness, "naively sweet" Su Le unexpectedly transmigrates to the arduous 1970s and becomes the little darling of her family. It should have been another life of lei...
Mr. Jiang came to chat with Su Le and eat some delicious food that Jiang Liang had put in front of his mouth. Every time Su Le could come up with some new tricks, it was always memorable.
Halfway through the meal, they had finished chatting and said goodbye to Su Le. Jiang Liang hadn't finished eating yet, so Grandpa Jiang didn't force him and left in his car.
Everyone was drunk again and playing drinking games.
The five girls sat together, and the little boys in the circle took special care of them. For their own good reputation, everyone kept only the sixteen-year-olds, and the others huddled together.
Su Le thought about the look in Gao Xinxin and Cui Yingying's eyes just now, as if they wanted to say something. He walked over to their side and found a seat to sit down by himself. "What's wrong? Is there something going on?"
The girls exchanged glances. Gao Xinxin seemed a little hesitant. Cui Yingying then asked directly, "Sister Le, I want to live in the dormitory. Is that okay?"
Su Le frowned. "There are only men over there. If you move in, there might be some gossip. Is there something going on at home?"
Cui Yingying bit her lip, tears dripping down her face. "My grandma wants me to get married and give the job to my cousin."
Su Le sneered, "Even if you're gone, it won't be her turn. There's no inheritance system for jobs here."
Su Le patted her and said, "If you can move out and it won't affect the normal operation of the store, I can arrange a place for you to live. The old yard they lived in before was built by my family. When the time comes, just move a double bed over. Kitchen utensils, bathroom and everything are all there."
Cui Yingying didn't respond. Her family would definitely not agree.
Su Le looked at Gao Xinxin, then at the others. "You can all live in the dormitories, as long as your families don't cause trouble in the store. To be frank, if your family members cause trouble and it affects the store, and things get ugly, will you side with your family or with us? You are my employees, and of course I will protect your safety and privacy. I won't let you live with those men, and I will also change the locks on the door to the old courtyard."
Cui Yingying lowered her head and the disillusionment in her eyes gradually became determined. She wanted to break away from that home and get rid of her grandmother's control.
Su Le added, "This month's rest period will be reduced to five days, so you can take consecutive days off."
After saying that, he patted Cui Yingying without saying anything else and returned to his place.
Sun Qing took out a piece of paper and handed it to Cui Yingying. "Yingying, don't be sad. Although Sister Le's words were unpleasant, her meaning was very clear."
Cui Yingying took it and smiled, "I understand, I understand."
Liu Yue thought about it, holding the money in her pocket. Ever since she made more money, her father never had any intentions towards her again. Her mother had never been abused. As long as she was around, her mother would not be bullied.
Su Le ignored their little incident. Xu Jiaojiao touched her belly and asked, "Baby, are you full?"
Su Le and the others laughed as they watched her movements. Su Le also touched her and said, "Little niece, when you are born, your aunt will give you the best."
The baby in the belly seemed to sense it and responded to Su Le's hand.
This action made Xu Jiaojiao and Su Le look at their stomachs in surprise, and everyone else did the same. Xu Jiaojiao touched it again, but there was no reaction. "No? The only time it moved was in response to Auntie?"
Xu Jiaojiao tried again and again, and then gave up. "Okay, follow auntie and you'll have meat to eat."
Su Le smiled and took the cup to drink with her. "The baby is in five months, right?"
Xu Jiaojiao nodded, and Chen Yao smiled and said, "Usually, she'll be there earlier, but sometimes she'll be there later. I've taken time off to take her to every prenatal checkup during this period."
Su Le nodded, "Yeah, I'll stay in the hospital before giving birth. It's convenient."
Chen Yao nodded, and Xia Le looked at them. "His father and I thought so too. Everything is convenient at the hospital. His father and I will go there when the time comes."
Chen Yao shook her head. "I'm going too. My daughter-in-law is giving birth and she's in confinement. How can I, as a mother-in-law, be absent?"
Su Fugui also said, "Don't worry, we all value Jiaojiao very much. Her childbirth is a big event for our family. If that brat dares not come, I will break his legs."
Xu Jiaojiao quickly said, "No way! Then I don't want him anymore."
This made several adults laugh, and Su Le also smiled and shook his head, looking at his belly. It seemed that it would not be a bad idea to give birth earlier.
Seeing that Xu Jiaojiao had almost finished eating, Su Le took her back to her room to rest. "Pregnant women should go to bed early. Otherwise, the child will have to stay up late with you."
Xu Jiaojiao pouted in dissatisfaction, "I'm not done yet."
Su Le took out a storybook and said, "Let's prepare for prenatal education. Since your father is not around, let your aunt read you a story."
Xu Jiaojiao lay down and listened carefully to Su Le's story. After Su Le finished, she said, "She doesn't understand anything. It's useless for you to read it."
Su Le said, "Prenatal education is useful. It can help babies maintain emotional stability and physical and mental health. There's nothing wrong with it. By the way, I'm planning a business trip to various places. I'll sell some phones. I'm almost done here. You can give me a daily..."
When Xu Jiaojiao heard that Su Le was going on a business trip, she said, "I want to go too! I don't care. I'll be in a bad mood if I don't go."
Su Le looked speechlessly at Xu Jiaojiao, who was about to become a mother but was still acting like a spoiled brat. "Just talk to them yourself. As long as they agree, that's fine."
Xu Jiaojiao nodded beautifully, "I will definitely agree."
Su Le put the storybook aside, closed the door and returned to his room.
Xu Jiaojiao was also impatient. As soon as Su Le left, she quietly opened the door and walked towards the yard. Seeing Xia Le and the others, she walked over and hugged Xia Le and Chen Yao's arms, "My two mothers, I want to go on a business trip with Lele..."
"No!" Xia Le pulled his hand away and refused, pointing at her belly. "You're already five months pregnant? And you're still running around?"
Chen Yao looked at her disapprovingly, "Jiaojiao, the train station is so chaotic, and you have to run around everywhere. We won't be by your side if anything happens."
Xu Jiaojiao still didn't give up and hugged Xu Sheng's arm, "I'm really bored, let me go out for a walk. Isn't there an eagle to protect us? Dad, please."
Xu Sheng couldn't stand Xu Jiaojiao's coquettish behavior the most, so he nodded quickly, "Okay, okay, let's go out for a walk. It's no big deal as long as Lele is around."
Xia Le glared at him. Xu Jiaojiao happily rubbed her belly and went back to her room to sleep soundly.
"What if something happens? Why did you agree to it?" Xia Le said dissatisfiedly.
Xu Sheng quickly smiled and apologized, "Wife, didn't you say that pregnant women should maintain a good attitude? It must be uncomfortable to be depressed every day. Besides, with Lele and that person here, nothing will happen."
Xia Le didn't respond. He had already agreed, so what else could he say? He just hoped Xu Jiaojiao had a smooth journey.
