Chapter 689 Family Financial Pressure

This is also the reason why Xiaoyu was assigned two teachers.

The child is only seven years old. If he gets bullied in an unfamiliar place, there will be someone to inform him.

He Yuan didn't have the idea that his child should suffer.

All he wanted to do was to help his child explore the world better.

If we can help our children grow up, it would be an honor for them as parents.

Xiaoyu resisted reporting her physical condition, but she was not opposed to telling her family about her sadness: "Uncle, I know, I will definitely tell them everything."

He Yuan was satisfied: "Very good, then you should practice hard in the future."

He couldn't guarantee the rear, so he had to make up for it with other things.

Find two teachers to teach Xiaoyu so that she doesn't fall behind in her academic studies. Find a female Chinese medicine practitioner who is good at massage to see Xiaoyu every week and give her a soothing massage.

After He Yuan finished talking to Xiao Yu, he went back to his room with Chen Qing. "Are you going to pick up and drop off Xiao Yu every night?"

"Um."

"Wouldn't that be too tiring? Could we give Secretary Zhang more money, or find someone else to help out?"

Because he will be going to another place in the future, it is easy for Chen Qing to break down if he has to do so many things by himself.

Chen Qing: "Xiaoyu can't leave the sports training base until 8 o'clock. If someone else picks her up, she'll have to shower and sleep right away. Home will be like a hotel to her. Xiaoyu is still young, and going there alone for sports training without any friends will definitely make her feel uneasy. We can't help her with sports, but we should at least be more attentive to her company and let her know that at least she has someone to support her."

"But you..."

"I can!"

Chen Qing answered decisively.

He Yuan didn't say anything else, but his guilt grew stronger and stronger.

His project has recently made progress, bringing him one step closer to leaving home.

However, he could not neglect his work, because if new parts were produced domestically, it would save the country money and also free many comrades from having to grovel before foreigners.

Chen Qing patted him on the shoulder, looking like a close buddy, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Actually, I'm very proud that you can participate in such a big project. It's such an honor for someone like me, who's just an average student, to be working with a scientist. And to be honest, do you know what's most important for our family right now?"

He Yuan: "What?"

Chen Qing: "Money!"

He Yuan: "..."

Chen Qing: "I'm not kidding. For example, our family has several children. Two of them still need to drink milk powder and eat rice cereal. I won't even mention the clothes. We also have to pay someone to wash the diapers for the kids. All in all, it costs forty yuan a month."

I will have to pick up Xiaoyu every day from now on. I can find a way to borrow a car, but we will have to pay for the gas ourselves. It will take at least 45 minutes to drive there, and an hour and a half round trip. I will have to give her at least one yuan. Excluding weekends, I will have to give her 22 yuan.

There is also He Yuxiang. He Yuxiang doesn't seem to have much expenses, but his hobbies require him to buy some large equipment. Without saying much, the average cost is fifteen yuan per month, which is not too much.

There's also meat, eggs, and candy at home, which are basically always available. Rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and tea all cost money. Occasionally, there are social obligations. In the eyes of outsiders, we are considered to have a certain status, so we can't be too stingy when it comes to giving money. Whenever someone brings us good news, even if it's someone we're not close to, we have to give them a five-yuan red envelope.

We also like to buy expensive things and never treat ourselves badly, right? Isn't it all about money? Our combined salaries won't cover our expenses if we don't control them a bit."

He Yuan's head was spinning as he listened.

The long-lost survival problem is now before us again.

Chen Qingzhen felt that she and He Yuan were like a future middle-class couple.

To be honest, they do have some money, but you can't say that their family is particularly wealthy.

Because she and He Yuan are both young people, and young people spend money very quickly when they are not short of money.

Moreover, the two older children in the family have hobbies and interests, and the two younger children are also well cared for.

This is really——

Spend money like water.

Chen Qing thought that love should be put on hold for now, and that making money should be the priority: "You must work hard to get promoted, Comrade He Yuan. Whether the family can maintain its current conditions depends entirely on you."

Because it's very difficult for her to get promoted right now. If she wants to go to another unit, she'll have to become a junior leader in the Light Industry Bureau and slowly work her way up to Qi Yuanchao's position. It's better for her to focus on achieving her goals first.

If she continues to be the factory manager, she will always receive this salary.

There's no way to open up the source of information at home.

As the only two working people in the family, the important burden of making money fell on He Yuan.

He Yuan was speechless: "Our expenses seem to be a bit high..."

"Absolutely. Think about it, we can't do without Teacher He Yuxiang, and we can't do without Teacher Xiaoyu. What if the two little ones have some other hobbies that require spending money? Then our salaries will be in jeopardy."

Chen Qing thought about what was said on the Internet: the three things that would crush middle-class families.

Mortgage, car loan, tuition fees.

But what truly broke the couple's hearts was the cost of their children's extracurricular classes!

Yes, it is that fragile!

Chen Qing thought about it carefully. In fact, they could not be considered a middle-class family. They could only be considered well-off.

He Yuan rubbed his brows: "Too many children..."

"It's all your fault."

Chen Qing complained directly.

She only wanted one.

As a result, two came.

He Yuan looked at her in shock.

Chen Qing stated confidently: "Whether a woman gives birth to a boy or a girl, and how many children she has, is basically determined by the sperm of the boy..."

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore," He Yuan interrupted her. "I'm going out to check on the children."

Chen Qing: “???”

Why is he blushing?

Oh, no.

What's there to be embarrassed about?!

They have children!

Chen Qing was puzzled.

Then he couldn't help laughing.

After having fun alone in the room for a while, she went out to find He Yuan.

He Yuan saw her and pretended to be calm and asked, "Why are you here?"

He Yuxiang also looked at his aunt who came to the kitchen in confusion: "What are you calling us for again?"

Chen Qing: "What you said makes me seem so unkind."

Both the uncle and nephew were silent.

Chen Qing also fell silent.

Is she really like that?

"He Yuan, am I the kind of person he said I was?"

He Yuan: "You are not."

Chen Qingchao and He Yuxiang spread their hands: "See, your uncle already said it's not true."

He Yuxiang was already used to their show of affection, "I'll take the dishes out."
