Although Bai Ruozhen said it was scary, the couple actually didn't feel any pressure.

The root cause: They have money.

How many are there?

Bai Ruozhen calculated carefully and felt it was quite a lot. In the countryside, raising a child didn't seem to cost much as long as there was food. Even if they didn't have land, the harvests were good across the country right now, and food could be bought at the grain store. The biggest expense would be schooling, but that little money wasn't much for them.

So the two of them spent money as they pleased, but Gu Changqing felt that it was better to make more money than to have too much money.

So that afternoon, the wealthy Gu Changqing moved a 16-inch TV into the house and said to Bai Ruozhen, "From now on, you just sit and watch TV. I'll do all the chores."

Bai Ruozhen had disliked the small size of his previous TV and had rarely watched it. This time, he liked the big one and kept urging Gu Changqing to turn it on. The screen was small, and the moment it turned on, there was a crackling sound of snow. Bai Ruozhen said, "Why is there nothing on?"

Gu Changqing looked at the instructions and said, "There's also an antenna. I'll install it. Just watch over it."

As he spoke, Gu Changqing picked up the small antenna and climbed up the ladder to the roof. Bai Ruozhen was watching the human figure appear on the TV in the room and said excitedly, "I saw it, but it's not clear."

So Gu Changqing adjusted his position again, and Bai Ruozhen said, "Okay."

Gu Changqing fixed the antenna and saw Gu Changsong standing in the yard next door looking at him, "What are you doing?"

Gu Changqing said proudly, "I bought a new TV and changed the antenna."

"Don't you have one?" Gu Changsong said.

"It's too small, change it to a bigger one." said Gu Changqing.

"What about the little one?" Gu Changsong asked.

"It's in the house, take it if you want." Gu Changqing had just finished speaking when he saw Gu Changsong running out, and then appeared in their yard a moment later, "I'm here to get my TV."

Gu Changqing: “…”

With a bigger TV, Bai Ruozhen finally had something to do at home. Unfortunately, there were only two TV stations, the pictures were not very clear, and the content was repeated. Bai Ruozhen was very disappointed, and his original interest was completely gone.

After the National Day, Aunt Gu officially retired, left Uncle Gu's baggage behind, and came to Yancheng and settled down in the courtyard.

In fact, ever since Bai Ruozhen became pregnant, whenever Gu Changqing was at home, she would cook all the meals. Although the taste was not very good, Bai Ruozhen was not picky and basically ate whatever was cooked. When Second Aunt Gu came, Gu Changqing was suddenly relieved. When he had free time, he started reselling things like televisions, radios, and watches.

Second Aunt Gu was shocked when she first learned about his activities. But seeing how calm Bai Ruozhen was, she gradually realized that her nephew was very powerful and had never been caught.

Well, it’s good that my nephew has money.

Bai Ruozhen's belly was already terribly big, and Gu Changqing also told the transportation company about the situation. They would not travel far for the rest of the time, and would only travel around the province during work.

After the first snow fell, it was already the tenth month of the lunar calendar. It was just over a month away from the due date. Inevitably, some stretch marks appeared on Bai Ruozhen's belly, which looked scary and uncomfortable.

Gu Changqing dragged Bai Ruozhen to the supermarket to stroll around secretly, and then found a bottle of essential oil in the maternity and baby products section. It said that it could relieve stretch marks. The two were so happy that they quickly bought it. Bai Ruozhen had been to the supermarket with Gu Changqing many times, and recently found that he found something new every time he came in.

For example, there were no maternity and baby products before, but now there are, and even more amazingly, there are diapers. Bai Ruozhen bought a pack and secretly studied it with Gu Changqing. After figuring out the purpose, he thought this invention was great. He asked Gu Changqing to secretly take it outside and then bring it back. He told Aunt Gu that he asked someone to bring it back from the south, but this thing cannot be circulated, so outsiders can't know about it. Aunt Gu understood the importance of this and put the thing away, saying that this thing is good and we should stock up more.

Gu Changqing remembered this.

For example, the milk bottles at the maternity and baby store are of much better quality than those in the department store here, so the two of them got one too.

There were also baby formulas and toys—almost everything you could imagine. Not only that, there was even formula for pregnant women. Gu Changqing had originally wanted to buy two cans for Bai Ruozhen, but Bai Ruozhen couldn't get used to the taste, so he gave up.

As for baby clothes, they were also available in the supermarket, but Gu Xiaoli had already made some for the child, so Bai Ruozhen only picked out some soft clothes and bought two pieces, intending to use them as replacements when the time comes.

It was freezing outside and Bai Ruozhen didn't want to go out. Besides, all the housework was taken over by Aunt Gu, so Bai Ruozhen was quite bored for a while.

So Bai Ruozhen asked Gu Changqing to buy him a pen and a notebook and started writing the recipe.

Yes, recipes. Although Bai Ruozhen didn't like studying, she thought it was a good idea to write down recipes. After all, there were so many good things in her past life that she couldn't make here at the moment. She also believed that the country would become prosperous and strong, and perhaps then she would have the opportunity to cook all kinds of delicious food. Moreover, she still had a book of medicinal food that Gu Changqing had given her before. She felt that these things would be of great use in the future if they were preserved well.

In order not to forget, Bai Ruozhen thought it would be better to write it down.

Seeing that her writing was very simple, Aunt Gu said, "Why don't you write it in more detail so that I can follow it when I cook."

Bai Ruozhen thought so too, so he simply wrote in more detail. When Gu Changqing came back, he said excitedly, "Brother Changqing, what do you say when our country gets better in the future, I will open a training class to teach people how to cook?"
