Chapter 134

After leaving school, Bi Chunliu remembered that she had originally told Xia He to have a good chat with her roommates at school, but she was really worried that Wang Yuezhi would deceive Xia He again without her knowing. Just in case, she decided to give Xia He a shot of prevention!

Bi Xiahe looked at her elder sister in confusion. Did she look easily deceived? Ever since leaving school, her elder sister had been constantly discussing the types of men who were unreliable. For example, the kind who said all sorts of nice things but had all sorts of bad habits. The kind you thought was filial, but was actually either a mama's boy or outsourced filial piety to his wife. And the kind who wore a white shirt and trousers, looked polite and considerate, and spoke warmly, but had actually been deceiving young girls since they were little. These kinds of men were even more despicable!

Bi Xiahe: ...

The last one, why does it sound like Song Xiaodan’s cousin?

"Sister, don't worry, I won't look for a partner." Bi Xiahe said sincerely, and she was only sixteen, so studying was more important now. She also wanted to be assigned to a good unit when she graduated!

Bi Chunliu nodded. "Yes, I know. This isn't your first time living on campus. I'm just reminding you because I'm worried that you or the girls around you might be deceived."

Did the eldest sister forget that she had her brother-in-law give the three of them a course on the complete scam? It covered all kinds of scams to defraud families and money and sex!

After giving her these reminders, Bi Chunliu saw that her sister seemed to understand, though she still didn't seem to have the urge to find a partner. He calmed down and decided to visit Xia He more often when he had time. He glanced at his watch. It was only ten o'clock. How could it be so late? Wasn't it a little too early for lunch? And where had Xing Fei and Wei Guo gone?

Bi Chunliu was just about to go look for them when Xing Fei came back with Wei Guo, who was holding an oil-paper bag stained with oil.

"Sister, my brother-in-law and I just met Uncle Erzhu. He heard that Xia He had arrived and gave us a roast chicken."

Xing Fei then explained, "I forgot. Uncle Erzhu's son works in the school's logistics department. If Xia He has any urgent matters in the future, she can go to him first. I'll take Xia He to his place before we go home and introduce him to him. Also, Uncle Erzhu said that the state-owned restaurant nearby makes the best pancakes. Do you want to try some? We can also share the roast chicken."

"Let's go and try it. If it tastes good, buy some home and bring it to Dad and Xiaomei for lunch."

Bi Chunliu made the decision, as she didn't want Xia He to return to the dormitory too early!

"Okay! Let's try it!" Bi Qiuguo was the first to respond to her elder sister's suggestion.

The pancakes recommended by Han Erzhu are indeed delicious. Although they are ordinary pancakes, the crust is crispy and the inside is very soft. There are not many choices of fillings, only five-spice and pepper salt, but the aroma of aniseed and wheat mixed together makes people feel appetite!

Bi Chunliu thought that it would be a good time to have a bowl of soup and soak the pancake in the soup, which would probably taste delicious!

Xing Fei: "You guys sit down, I'll go buy some more to take home, and then we'll make soup tonight!"

Bi Chunliu glanced at Xing Fei's back. See, it's so important for two people to eat together!

After dinner, Xing Fei took Wei Guo shopping, planning to deliver some to Han Erzhu's son, Han Youwei. Bi Chunliu and Bi Qiuguo followed Bi Xiahe back to the dormitory to wait for them. When they arrived, they discovered that all of Xiahe's roommates were already there, along with the parents of three of them.

It was a hot day, and there were many people in the dormitory, making it very noisy. Bi Chunliu felt dizzy after only two minutes.

"Xia He, Qiu Guo and I will go downstairs first. Your brother-in-law and Wei Guo may have returned." Bi Chunliu spoke impatiently to one of the parents who kept asking about his family's situation.

"Okay! Sister, let's go together."

"Okay." Bi Chunliu smiled at the parents and quickly took his two sisters out.

The father of the roommate named Zhang is so uncouth. There are only young girls in the dormitory, but he acts like a big boss and keeps smoking while sitting there. The mother of the roommate named Zhang is helping her daughter make the bed, but she is also asking if anyone has water in their cup and if she can let the father have a drink.

No, why would you want to drag others to serve you when you are serving yourself?!

When Bi Chunliu and the other two arrived downstairs, they saw Xing Fei and Wei Guo had also arrived. When they arrived downstairs in the office building, Bi Weiguo and Bi Qiuguo were sitting in the shade while Xing Fei took Bi Chunliu and the other two to look for Han Youwei.

Xing Fei didn't have much contact with Han Youwei, but Han Zhong and Han Erzhu had a good relationship. Han Erzhu would occasionally take Han Zhong to his house for dinner, so Han Youwei and Xing Fei knew a lot about each other from each other's fathers.

After hearing the purpose of the visit, Han Youwei, who looked exactly like Han Erzhu, patted his chest and said to Bi Xiahe, "It's okay, sister. If you have any problems, just come and tell me. We are real relatives." Han Youwei then lowered his voice and said to Xing Fei, "If I can't do it, there's still my father-in-law."

Xing Fei: "...Thank you very much, Youwei. I'll treat you and uncle to dinner in a few days."

Is there a possibility that he just wanted to prevent his sister-in-law from being bullied, and didn't want her to be the boss in school?

After putting the things down for Han Youwei, the three of them came out of the office. Xing Fei then told Bi Chunliu that Han Youwei's father-in-law was the school's secretary, and that Han Youwei might remove the word "deputy" from his title and become the director of logistics after a while.

Bi Chunliu nodded, "I see...Xia He, your brother-in-law and I came here to tell you that we don't cause trouble, but we're not afraid of it either."

"Don't worry, sis. I understand!"

"Okay! We'll take you back to the dormitory. Get up early today and go to bed early tonight. If Weiguo learns to ride a bicycle by Friday, I'll ask your second brother to pick you up. If you have other plans, just tell your second brother."

After sending Xia He downstairs to the dormitory, Bi Xia He watched her family leave and then turned to go upstairs. The other two roommates' parents had already left, but Zhang Xing's parents hadn't yet. Bi Xia He put her backpack on the bed, took off her shoes, and got into bed.

She decided not to go downstairs until the parents had left. She was thinking about how her elder sister had asked Master Wang to make her a small table that could be placed on the bed before she left, but she had no idea what it would look like.

"Little girl, why didn't your parents come to send you to school? Are they busy with work? What unit do they work for?"

"Hey! I'm talking to you!"

Bi Xiahe felt her bed vibrate and turned her head to look over. "What did you say?"

Zhang Xing's mother smiled kindly and curiously. "Why didn't your parents come to see you off? Are they busy with work?"

"My parents passed away two years ago."

Zhang Xing tugged at his mother's clothes awkwardly when he heard this, "Mom, hurry up and clean up."

"I know, I know." Zhang Xing's mother waved her hand and quickly turned around to continue cleaning up. Oh my goodness, these girls are just destined for tough life. I guess I need to tell my daughter before I leave to play with her less. What if she causes trouble for her family?! Her sister doesn't look like she's that capable either. My daughter should play with more well-off girls like the one named Song.

Xing Fei sent his wife and sister-in-law to the bus. Bi Chunliu lifted the things in his hand and said, "I thought about delivering the cakes over there. Let's go!"

"Okay, you two, stay safe. Qiuguo, take care of your sister," Xing Fei said, watching over his wife and sister-in-law. He then rode his bike to take his brother-in-law to work. He planned to take his brother-in-law to work first, then deliver the pancakes, and finally go back to work himself. Perfect!

…

Although there was one less person in the family and Xia He didn't talk much, Bi Chunliu still felt like several people were missing. It took the family more than half a month to get used to the fact that Bi Xia He was staying with them.

"Another Daozi?!" Bi Qiuguo shouted towards the main hall, "Big sister, how about letting me pick up Third Sister from now on?"

She looked at the new scratches on the bicycle with heartache. Needless to say, her second brother must have fallen again just now!!!

Xing Fei picked up Bi Xiahe during her first week of school. Before she went to school in the second week, Xiahe told him in advance that she would only go home once every two weeks, and she would read in the library the rest of the time, so there was no need to pick her up.

A few days ago, Bi Chunliu and Xing Fei went to buy a bicycle. Wei Guo had been learning for two days but still couldn't ride it steadily, which made Bi Qiuguo very distressed. Then he fell down again. Before the third sister could see the new bicycle, the bicycle became an old one!

Bi Weiguo washed the dust off his arms with water and glared at her, "...Are you my sister or the bicycle's sister?"

Bi Qiuguo looked away and changed the subject abruptly, "Ahem, sister, what did my brother-in-law say we should eat just now?"

Bi Weiguo: "..." Bi Xiaosi, if you have the guts, stop changing the subject! !

In the main room, Bi Chunliu was counting accounts and hiding money.

The chili sauce deal was settled. At first, she had agreed with Director Dou that she would pay the labor cost, and the supply and marketing cooperative would buy as much as she made. Later, she became pregnant. Except for the first batch of chili sauce submitted to the supply and marketing cooperative, which was made by her and Weiguo, the two subsequent batches were washed by her and Qiuguo, and made by Weiguo himself. But Weiguo also had to go to work. He had to cut things all the time at work, and it was too much of a burden for him to cut chilies after returning home. A few days ago, she saw Weiguo's hands shaking from exhaustion.

The day before yesterday, Director Dou said the chili sauce was selling well and contacted her to say he wanted to increase the quantity. Bi Chunliu felt that she couldn't continue like this. If she continued like this, she would not make any money and would lose her life first! She quickly contacted Director Dou and chose the second option he had proposed.

At that time, Director Dou said that if Bi Chunliu couldn't do it, he could introduce Bi Chunliu to people from the pickle factory and sell the recipe to them. The pickle factory would supply the supply and marketing cooperative, and would not restrict Bi Chunliu from continuing to make chili sauce at home. She could also get some money from selling her family.

Bi Chunliu took out one-third of the money from selling her house, and distributed this part to her three younger brothers and sisters. She put the rest together with her own savings. She planned to deposit the money in a bank another day. This money was all her own private money!

"Big sister, it's time to eat!"

“Here it comes!”

Bi Chunliu agreed, put the money in an envelope, and then carefully placed it in the drawer. Although it was not much, it was also one of her treasures!

…

With each successive rain, the summer heat faded, giving way to the coolness of autumn. The sweet fragrance of the osmanthus trees wafted through the courtyard, and the autumn wind rustled, sweeping away the gradually withering leaves. Suddenly, a cool north wind picked up, and crystal-clear snowflakes began to fall from the sky. And so, it was the end of December.

On December 31st, at 6:30 AM, Xing Fei slowly turned sideways and stretched out his legs, touching the ground first. Then, using his legs to push himself up, he lifted the quilt while standing firmly on the ground before getting dressed. Over the past two months, he had perfected this technique, allowing him to keep the heat trapped in the quilt without disturbing Chun Liu.

After getting dressed and coming out of the room, Xing Fei breathed a sigh of relief. Chun Liu's belly was growing very fast, and her legs were swollen so much that there was a dent when pressed. She couldn't sleep well every day. He could only hope that Chun Liu could get some sleep in during the day.

As he washed his face, Xing Fei once again considered the idea of having a child. This was the third time. They say it's better to have a child once, twice, than a third time, but the conclusion he reached each time was the same: they should just have this one child, regardless of the gender of the baby in Chun Liu's belly.

Mothers are really great. This is something that fathers cannot empathize with. Giving birth to a child is something that most people cannot understand unless it happens to them!

Xing Fei washed his face and made up his mind. He wanted to get a vasectomy. He had heard from a colleague that there was a new technology that allowed men to get a vasectomy. He wanted to try it out after Chunliu finished her confinement.
