Guo Shijing carried an aluminum lunch box and slowly went upstairs.

In the bedroom, there were a few dirty clothes and a plastic slipper piled in the corner. The door of the closet was half open, and a sock fell out. There were a lot of things piled on the dressing table, and only most of them could be seen in the mirror.

On the big bed on the other side, the straw mat was crooked, one pillow was half-lying, one pillow had fallen to the ground, and several wrinkled clothes were placed at the head and foot of the bed.

Qin Tiantian lay on her side on the bed, enjoying the breeze from the ceiling fan while fanning herself up and down with a palm-leaf fan.

She glanced at him and said coquettishly, "I heard you open the door half a day ago. Where have you been? You made me wait and wait!"

Guo Shijing threw the lunch box onto the bedside table and said unhappily, "I have something important to discuss with my parents, why are you in such a hurry? You just finished lunch and you said you wanted to eat meatballs - aren't they here yet?"

"Hehe!" Qin Tiantian quickly threw away the palm-leaf fan and excitedly went forward to open the lunch box.

The next moment, she pouted in displeasure: "Why are there only these few?"

"Two dollars!" Guo Shijing pointed with two fingers and glared, "This stuff is only sold in the old street in the whole city of Yu! And they sell it secretly! They have to remove the bones and pound the meat, and it takes most of the day to make a small plate of meatballs. Ten meatballs cost two dollars!"

"It's just two dollars, isn't it?" Qin Tiantian said coquettishly, "It's your son who wants to eat it, not me. What? Are you reluctant to give your son meatballs?"

Guo Shijing curled his lips and snorted: "Do you know how many workers can't make a dollar a day?! I only make two dollars a day, and that's still considered a lot in the factory!"

This woman loves to spend money and eat delicious food. If he had known she was so difficult to support, maybe he would... Oh!

Qin Tiantian was happily chewing on beef meatballs, leaning lazily on the bed railing.

"Didn't I tell you? Hurry up and ask dad to find me a job, then we can get an extra salary. One more job can bring an extra one or two dollars a day. Over time, if we save enough, we will have money."

Guo Shijing turned sideways, took out an iron box from his pocket, opened it, and took out a cigarette.

"It's not that easy to arrange a job for you. You have no work experience, and you have no practical skills. How can my dad arrange a job for you? Besides, with your current condition, you complain of back pain after walking a few steps. How can you still go to work?"

Qin Tiantian pouted in grievance: "I just don't believe it! It's such a big factory, with hundreds of regular workers coming and going, and a hundred temporary workers. With so many positions, they couldn't squeeze out one or two for me?"

Guo Shijing threw the cigarette box aside, took out a matchbox, slowly lit a light and lit a cigarette.

He is his father's biological son. Although he has different ideas and is often scolded by the old man, he still understands the old man very well.

On the surface, his mother was displeased with his wife all day long, nagging and scolding her secretly, complaining and mocking her in all kinds of ways. But his father said nothing, and has not expressed a single word of dissatisfaction to this day.

But he knew it in his heart - his father didn't like his wife either.

She had always wanted to work in a factory, but her father only said that she should first give birth to the child and raise him well, and that the family's financial situation was barely sufficient, so there was no rush for her to work.

Having said that, he knew that his father was very likely aware of his wife's little thoughts and was secretly on guard against her.

Qin Tiantian couldn't help getting angry when she talked about this, and questioned: "Gu Yi only has a junior high school degree, and he went to the countryside halfway through school. He got a job right after he arrived at the factory, why can't I? Isn't your father too partial? I am a member of the Guo family, why doesn't he help his own family, but favors outsiders instead?"

"You know nothing!" Guo Shijing explained angrily, "Gu Yi knows electrical engineering! When we first started, the electrical department was short of three or four people, and there was always a shortage of manpower. He knows basic electrical engineering, and he can immediately follow the master to work. With basic skills, he can learn quickly. Do you think the factory is a garbage dump? You can accept anyone who comes?"

"I... I can do math." Qin Tiantian said quickly, "It would be most appropriate for me to go to the finance department."

Guo Shijing shook his head: "The number of people over there has long been full. If there are too many people on salary, the financial pressure on the factory will be too great. My father has always pursued streamlining. The better the skills of the people who actually do the work, the higher their position can be. As for those departments that only work a few days a month, my father would rather cut some people, how can he put more people into the full departments."

"Is one more of me too much?" Qin Tiantian said coquettishly: "You are my lover, even you don't speak up for me, who else can I count on?"

After hearing this, Guo Shijing blew smoke and seemed to be thinking about something.

If he had married Nishang, would it be so ugly if she got pregnant?

He was so fat and bloated that no matter what clothes he wore, they looked ugly on him. He was sloppy and looked like a country bumpkin.

Will you become nagging after you get married? Wanting this and that, wanting this now and that now, and using the son in your belly as an arrow all day long?

...Probably not.

Nichang is a person who loves beauty and pays great attention to her appearance. Her hair cannot be messy at all and her clothes cannot be wrinkled at all. If she gains a little weight, she will start dieting until her weight returns to normal.

Moreover, she doesn't like to talk too much. She likes to read all kinds of love novels from ancient and modern times, both Chinese and foreign, and she will even cry for the characters in the books.

She is so different from Nishang.

Perhaps the only similarity between them is that they both don't like doing housework.

Seeing that he was distracted, Qin Tiantian couldn't help but push him.

"Hey! Did you hear me? I've been talking to you for quite some time, but you still don't want to hear me. Why don't you say something?"

"Ah?" Guo Shijing stared in surprise: "What?"

Qin Tiantian shook his arm lightly and said angrily: "I'm talking to you nicely, but you don't even listen!"

"Listen, listen." Guo Shijing yawned perfunctorily.

Qin Tiantian lowered her voice and said, "After I give birth to my son and rest for a month or two, I will open a clothing store in the department store."

"Ah?!!!" Guo Shijing was stunned and asked, "Why do you keep coming up with so many ideas?"

Qin Tiantian explained: "I came to the South to do business. It's not as strict as ours, and the business atmosphere is much stronger."

Guo Shijing pretended not to hear.

Seeing that he didn't react, Qin Tiantian snatched the cigarette from his hand.

"I discussed this with you, why didn't you respond to me?"

Guo Shijing frowned and asked back: "How do you want me to react? One moment you want to build a factory, the next moment you want to open a store - who knows what you are going to do!"

Qin Tiantian snorted coldly: "If your father wanted me to work in the factory, he would have arranged it long ago. Why has it been delayed until now? Since there is no hope, I can only look for other ways out."

Guo Shijing shook his head: "Not everyone can open a store in the department store. Besides, you are going to give birth later this year, and you have to take care of the baby after giving birth. How can you have so much time to open a store and do business?"

"Let your mother help take care of the child." Qin Tiantian said confidently: "There is an aunt at home to help with housework. She is idle anyway, so she might as well take care of her grandson."

Guo Shijing was speechless for a moment, hesitating: "You...you don't take care of the child? That won't work!"

"Why not?" Qin Tiantian said, "Young people are responsible for making money and getting rich, while the elderly are responsible for taking care of the children. Besides, this is the first child, and I don't know how to take care of it. By the way, I heard that selling clothes is very profitable! If the business is good, one person may make a few thousand yuan!"

Guo Shijing was stunned: "Is it true? So many?"

"Why would I lie to you?" Qin Tiantian hugged his arm and whispered, "I have a classmate who went to work in a department store in Beijing after graduation. She said someone borrowed a place to secretly sell clothes, and gave half of the money to the leaders. She could make hundreds of dollars in one go."

"What? Is it illegal?" Guo Shijing asked in surprise.
