After lunch, Jianshu took over the task of washing dishes and carried a pile of pots and pans into the kitchen, while Li Li stayed outside to clean up the mess.

"Ningning, you're going to give birth in a few months. You'll definitely have to go to work in the future. What will you do with the child then?" After wiping the table, Li Li came over and sat down next to Pan Ning, stretching out her hand to warm herself by the fire.

Pan Ning was eating a handful of hazelnuts. When he saw her coming, he grabbed a handful for her.

"I don't know yet. I'm worried about it too." When she talked about this topic, she sighed.

Everyone in the family is at work, no one is free, and there is no one to take care of me.

"If it really doesn't work, just send the child to a nursery. We can't let the adults waste time because of the child." Li Li said.

"Let me think about it. There's still some time before the baby is born." Pan Ning neither agreed nor refused.

The nursery is convenient, but there are many children there and few people to take care of them, so how can she feel at ease?

Even if you want to send the child, you should at least wait until the child is older, can speak, and knows when he is cold and hungry before sending him there.

"What are you thinking about?" Jianshu walked out of the kitchen at this time and asked after vaguely hearing the conversation between the two.

"Ningning is worried about who will take care of the baby after it is born."

"Child? You can ask your mother to help take care of the child. Doesn't your brother have to work next year? Then your mother can give her job to him, and she will have some free time, right?" Jianshu came up with an idea.

These days, children are generally taken care of by the elderly at home. Even working parents don't have time to spare, so they send them to daycare. When the children grow up and have a second or third child, the older children are asked to take care of the younger ones. Pan Ning was raised by her older siblings when she was little, which is why they have such a close relationship.

"My mother?" Pan Ning hesitated.

"Yes, you didn't send your child to a nursery because you were worried. Now you let your mother take care of you, so what is there to worry about? Who is more reliable than your own grandmother?" Jian Shu said this because Pan Ning had a good relationship with her parents and brothers from her mother's side, otherwise, she would never have come up with this idea.

"But..." Her mother has worked hard for so many years and finally got the chance to retire and take a rest. Wouldn't it be even more tiring for her to take care of the children?

Pan Ning still remembers how difficult it was to take care of his little brother after he was born. He'd poop after eating, and he'd eat after pooping. There weren't enough diapers to change. Washing diapers in cold water in the dead of winter kept her hands red with cold. Without sunlight to dry them, she'd have to use the stove to dry them, and if she wasn't careful, they'd get burned.

So it is not an easy job to take care of a child. Her mother finally has a chance to enjoy herself, but she is too embarrassed to do so. Moreover, if a married daughter sends her child back to her parents' home, even if her sister-in-law is a good person, she will still have some opinions.

Jian Shu immediately knew what she was worried about and said, "Think about it, haven't you been feeling unaccustomed to staying home from work these past few days? Auntie has worked for so many years and suddenly retired. Will she be able to get used to it in a short while?"

"You can talk to her about it and ask her to help take care of the child for you, paying her five or ten dollars a month. This way, the child's problems will be solved, and you can feel at ease. Secondly, your mother won't feel uncomfortable because she has no job and no income."

"Although the price is much higher than a daycare center, you get what you pay for. It's definitely better to have your child with your grandmother than to send him to a daycare center. And you don't have to worry about your brothers and sisters-in-law complaining after paying the money. This amount is still within your and Naruko's means."

Whether from the perspective of interests or from the perspective of emotions, this is a win-win situation.

Pan's mother, who is unemployed at home, can now earn an extra income; Pan Ning no longer has to worry about her children while working, and can balance her career and family.

Although the price is higher than that of a nursery, the child will definitely be treated better, and the money will eventually go to her mother, so it's worth it.

As for her in-laws, Ding Ming had absolutely no objections. Even if her parents-in-law had some objections, they wouldn't say anything. After all, the mother-in-law was willing to help take care of the grandson, and they couldn't thank her enough. Why would they bother with so much? If she had any objections, she could just take care of the child herself.

So to sum up, this method is beneficial to everyone.

However, what will happen in the end depends on Pan Ning's decision.

Li Li chimed in at this point, "Ningning, Shushu's idea is good. It's definitely better to have your grandma take care of your child than to send him to a nursery. You can send him to your mom's during the day and pick him up at night. It's not far away anyway, so it's just a bit of a hassle."

Pan Ning didn't say anything, but lowered his head to think carefully about the pros and cons. After comparing all the factors, he had to admit that Jianshu's idea was really good, and it could be said to be the best solution at present.

"I'll discuss this with him when Naruko comes back tonight and ask for his opinion."

She certainly couldn't make this decision alone.

"That's fine. It's still early anyway. There's no rush. You two can discuss it and see if he has any ideas." Jian Shu cracked hazelnuts and nodded.

Anyway, she just gave an idea, and the final decision has nothing to do with her.

"Well, this hazelnut tastes really good." Seeing that this topic was over, Li Li changed the subject.

Jian Shu said, "If you like, I'll bring you some tomorrow when I go to work. I still have some at home."

"Okay, thank you! It just so happens that my family bought a lot of frozen pears a few days ago. Don't you like to eat this? I'll bring you some." Li Li didn't bother to be polite with Jian Shu and agreed directly.

When relationships are close, being too polite can sometimes be unpleasant. However, she won't take advantage of others; a reciprocal approach is the key to getting along.

"Okay! I was craving this a few days ago." Jianshu said happily.

Ever since she ate frozen pears and persimmons, she would freeze a lot of them every winter. Except for the part she ate, she would put the rest into her space. When summer came, she would take them out and take a bite. The taste was so good, hiss—

One word——

Cool!

Li Li's words also reminded her that this year's frozen pear and frozen persimmon plan could begin.

The temperature is low these days, which is perfect.

Pan Ning felt a little greedy after listening to what the two people said. She also wanted to eat frozen pears.

Thinking of the abundant juice of the frozen pear, its soft yet crisp texture, and its sour and sweet taste, my mouth felt a little dry and I couldn't help swallowing.

"Hahaha--"

Seeing her like this, Jianshu and Li Li couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Li Li laughed as she leaned on Jian Shu. "Ningning looks exactly like the way Lele looks at us every time we eat at home. She's so greedy."

After hearing this, Jianshu couldn't help but laugh even more happily.

It’s so cute to think that Pan Ning, who is always gentle and sensible, is hooked up with an ignorant and greedy toddler.
