Xu Weiguo nodded: "Seriously, as long as your mother doesn't object, then it's fine."
Anyway, his salary isn't in his own hands, so whether or not he gives Xu Junhui and the others a subsidy has no impact on Xu Weiguo at all.
Besides, Xu Weiguo only has two children, and all of his and Zhang Yumei's property will belong to Xu Junhui and Xu Hongxia in the future.
If Xu Junhui really needs a subsidy, then when the family property is divided later, Xu Junhui can take less and Xu Hongxia can take more.
Seeing that Xu Weiguo said it was fine as long as Zhang Yumei agreed, Xu Junhui asked her directly, "Mom, what do you think of Dad's suggestion?"
Xu Junhui genuinely wanted to take leave from work; it wasn't that he disliked his job.
He was quite satisfied with his job, after all, it was easy and his salary was much higher than that of ordinary workers.
However, as Huang Qinqin's pregnancy progressed, Xu Junhui became increasingly worried and let Huang Qinqin go out alone.
Even knowing that Huang Qinqin had just gone to work and that there were still many people at her workplace, he still couldn't help but worry.
Xu Junhui now wishes he could keep Huang Qinqin tied to his belt. If he didn't know how much Huang Qinqin loved her job, he might have discussed with her about taking a few more months off.
Xu Junhui couldn't force Huang Qinqin to take leave, and as a man, he couldn't just quit his job and let his wife support him. He had been feeling anxious lately.
Xu Weiguo's proposal immediately excited Xu Junhui, who couldn't wait to apply for sick leave that very afternoon.
When he asked her that question, Zhang Yumei prepared to answer without thinking, "I didn't..."
"Dad, Mom! Junhui was just joking!"
When Huang Qinqin saw that they were actually having a serious discussion, she quickly interrupted their conversation.
Although Huang Qinqin didn't want to quit her job and stay home to take care of the children, she also didn't want Xu Junhui to quit his job and stay home to take care of the children.
Even if she had to give all of her salary to Zhang Yumei and Xu Fang as payment for taking care of the children, Huang Qinqin still didn't want Xu Junhui to not go to work.
The experience of young people taking care of children at home is completely different from that of grandmothers taking care of children at home.
Moreover, Zhang Yumei and Xu Fang were unemployed to begin with, so having them help take care of the children, although it would be a bit tiring, would actually make them happier.
Because it gives them something to rely on.
But it's different for young people. If you already have a job and suddenly lose your income, you can only stay at home taking care of the children, doing laundry and cooking.
You might not feel anything in the short term, but over time, your family might start to dislike you, and you might even start to doubt yourself.
They might question whether they are really that useless, unable to do anything except take care of the children.
Many workplaces now offer childcare classes, accepting even infants only a few months old, as long as parents are willing to let go.
Isn't it all to solve the problem of dual-income families who can't take care of their children during the day because of work?
Other dual-income families, even without parental help, would not give up their jobs.
How could Huang Qinqin possibly stand by and watch Xu Junhui not go to work and stay at home taking care of the children?
Xu Junhui wanted to say he wasn't joking, but Huang Qinqin didn't give him a chance to speak and hurriedly dragged him back to the room.
Seeing Huang Qinqin's expression, Zhang Yumei silently prayed for Xu Junhui, hoping he wouldn't be scolded too badly.
Then he said to Xu Weiguo, who was still watching the commotion, "Stop watching and go wash the dishes, or you won't have time for your afternoon nap."
Xu Weiguo: ?_?
"Me? It's Junhui's turn to wash the dishes today. I did it yesterday."
Xu Weiguo assumed Zhang Yumei didn't know, so he reminded her.
Zhang Yumei nodded, looking at him with a forced smile: "I know, so what? Who told you to talk nonsense and upset Qinqin?"
"Didn't you see Qinqin pull Junhui into the room? You caused this problem yourself, so of course you have to clean it up."
Xu Weiguo felt he was more wronged than Dou E!
He was genuinely offering advice to Xu Junhui, so how did that make him the one who was wrong?
Xu Weiguo felt that he was the one who should be the most unhappy, having to wash the dishes extra for no reason.
With a beaming smile, Xu Hongxia said to Xu Weiguo, "Dad, you have to go to work later. How about I help you wash the dishes?"
"They say a daughter is a father's little cotton-padded jacket, so thank you for your hard work, Hongxia. I'm going to bed now."
After saying that, Xu Weiguo prepared to go back to his room to sleep, thinking to himself with a happy sigh: "Sure enough, daughters are more considerate than sons."
"Hey, hey, Dad, wait a minute."
Seeing that he was about to leave, Xu Hongxia quickly reached out to stop him, then smiled at Xu Weiguo with her palm facing up.
Xu Weiguo, not understanding why, tentatively reached out and swayed his hand up and down with hers.
Xu Hongxia didn't know if he was genuinely ignorant or pretending, so she said directly, "Dad, you haven't given me my hard-earned money yet."
"What kind of compensation?" Xu Weiguo wondered why this girl was being so filial today; it turned out she was waiting for him here.
"If I wash the dishes for you, shouldn't you give me some compensation for my trouble? I don't need more than two cents."
With one hand on her hip and the other palm up, Xu Hongxia spoke to Xu Weiguo with a righteous air.
Xu Weiguo reached into his pocket, then quickly took his hand out and patted Xu Hongxia's palm lightly.
"Just two cents is fine. I wash dishes so many times a month and I don't even get two cents. If I give you money, I might as well wash them myself."
"Hmph! Then you can wash it yourself!"
When Xu Hongxia saw that Xu Weiguo was unwilling to pay, she angrily went back to her room.
...
Xu Junhui looked at Huang Qinqin, who hadn't said a word since returning to her room, and felt a little uneasy.
In fact, he really didn't realize why Huang Qinqin was angry.
He wondered to himself: Could it be because Huang Qinqin felt that it was inappropriate for him to ask his parents for money instead of working?
Xu Junhui wasn't afraid of Huang Qinqin scolding him, but he was afraid of her remaining silent like this. It made him anxious.
"daughter in law?"
Xu Junhui tentatively called Huang Qinqin's name, but when he found she didn't respond at all, he started calling her name repeatedly.
"Wife? Wife? Wife~ Wife~"
"Honey, I was wrong. Please don't ignore me, okay? Talk to me, hit me, scold me, anything is fine with me."
Seeing that Huang Qinqin was still sulking, Xu Junhui took a deep breath and decided to teach her a lesson.
Xu Junhui twisted his body, winked repeatedly at Huang Qinqin, and in a high-pitched voice, gave her a performance of a tough guy's coquettish act: "Wife~ please pay attention to me~"
