As for Qi Zhengmin, he drank quite a bit today and sang in the back the whole time!
He Tiantian was worried, so she took Qi Zhengmin home.
After drinking the hangover tea, Qi Zhengmin finally sobered up and quickly went to wash up and go to bed.
Huo Yingjie also drank the hangover tea, and his eyes became clear, unlike before when they were red.
"You weren't supposed to drink, so why did you drink?" He Tiantian asked with a smile. "There were so many people around, I felt bad stopping you."
"Hehe, it's okay, we'll get to know each other later. We'll become familiar after a few drinks," Huo Yingjie said. "The most important thing is that you can't drink alcohol."
“Actually, I can drink,” He Tiantian retorted, “but don’t worry, I won’t get drunk.”
"You're not allowed to drink outside anymore. You have no idea how pretty you look after drinking. Your cheeks are all red, your nose is all red, and your eyes are all watery. You look like an obedient little puppy." Huo Yingjie described He Tiantian softly, pinching her nose.
"Hehe, you're talking nonsense, you're the little puppy." He Tiantian said reproachfully, "By the way, tomorrow is Sunday, we're going to the old house, what should we buy for the old folks!"
"Just bring some things, don't go to so much trouble," Huo Yingjie said. "Grandfather and Grandmother don't actually lack anything, they just hope we can visit them often."
These past few days, Huo Yingjie has followed He Tiantian wherever she goes.
Even when He Tiantian gets off work, Huo Yingjie has to pick her up.
Huo Yingjie followed them to Sanfeng Bridge and to the car dealership.
He Tiantian finally realized something was wrong and asked, "Brother Yingjie, what's wrong with you these past few days? Are you hiding something from me?"
Huo Yingjie held He Tiantian's wrist, carefully took her pulse, and then said, "Your period is ten days late."
Menstruation?
Ten days late?
He Tiantian was taken aback and quickly tried to recall when her last period was.
Extend both palms and count the days.
My goodness, it's really too late.
She's such a blockhead, how could she forget something so important?
It's not really He Tiantian's fault for being negligent. It's just that she had already given birth, and for some reason, the two of them didn't use contraception and couldn't get pregnant, which made He Tiantian not care about these things.
In addition, she was very busy during this period, so He Tiantian couldn't remember at all.
No wonder Huo Yingjie would remind or stop him if he made any slightly bigger movements.
"Husband...you...you mean I'm pregnant?" He Tiantian seemed to see some clues on Huo Yingjie's face.
"Yes!" Huo Yingjie nodded.
"Then you calculate, were we before or after the family planning policy?" He Tiantian asked hurriedly. What would happen if the family planning policy was implemented?
Huo Yingjie said with a wry smile, "It happened later!"
"What should we do then?" He Tiantian asked. "After so many years, we can't just not get pregnant again, can we?"
If Huo Yingjie says no, He Tiantian will immediately beat him up.
"Yes, of course we want it," Huo Yingjie nodded. "This is our bloodline, we must keep it. As for family planning, let's worry about that for now, we'll deal with it after it's born."
“Okay, let’s talk about it after the baby is born.” He Tiantian nodded. “At worst, we can pay a fine. Tomorrow, you can look up the relevant policies and calculate how much the fine will be.”
Huo Yingjie has already inquired about it.
“I’ve seen the relevant fines; it’s three times the couple’s annual income,” Huo Yingjie replied. “How much money does our family earn in a year?”
He Tiantian was taken aback, and stammered, "How much?"
She knew from her past life about family planning that some people were fined several thousand or even tens of thousands of yuan.
“Three times the couple’s annual income,” Huo Yingjie replied. Although Huo Yingjie did not manage the household accounts, the family’s Sanfengqiao, clothing design studio, Sanfengju antique shop, and patent company in Hong Kong were all very profitable businesses.
He Tiantian now understands that the reason she knew the fines were hundreds, thousands, or even tens of thousands of yuan was because it was in the countryside. Rural incomes are already very low, and this amount of money is already very high for them.
"My goodness!" He Tiantian exclaimed, stunned. "I need to do the math and see how much we're going to be fined!"
He Tiantian opened the ledger, took out the abacus, and started calculating rapidly. After a while, He Tiantian slowly raised her head, her face full of bitterness, and said, "Honey, we're going bankrupt."
"How much will we be fined?" Huo Yingjie asked again.
“I roughly estimate that our income this year will be over nine million RMB. If it triples, it will be twenty-seven million. And that’s a conservative estimate. Are we really going to be fined that much?” He Tiantian said with lingering fear. “We’ve been doing business all these years, and we don’t have that much money in total. I guess we’ll have to sell everything we own to pay the fine, and we’ll even have to go into debt.”
"Sell everything we own," Huo Yingjie murmured. "That would be quite tragic, but even if we lose our money, we'll be at peace. There's nothing to be afraid of. We can earn more money. But by the end of this year, we'll have a lovely little baby like Ruimin and Ruihua, and then we'll be a family of five."
He Tiantian thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "Yes, wealth goes but people are at peace."
Furthermore, her current income isn't recorded nationwide. She has businesses in Yanjing and Xiangjiang in Nanshi, but it's difficult to investigate!
At most, the fine will be based on the income level of the registered residence location.
“However, I heard that having more children than allowed will result in suspension from work,” He Tiantian said. “I work at the school and can still work for two or three months, but I guess I won’t be able to keep the pregnancy once it starts showing.”
“Yes,” Huo Yingjie said. “If you get suspended, then don’t go to work and take good care of your health.”
"Then what will you do?" He Tiantian asked worriedly. Huo Yingjie was about to become Chief Engineer Huo. Wouldn't it be a pity if he was delayed because of the one-child policy?
Huo Yingjie smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. If they suspend me, I'll do business with you. It's no big deal."
"Then...don't you think it's a pity?" He Tiantian asked, worried that it would affect her husband.
"You shouldn't think so much," Huo Yingjie said. "If I can't even protect my own children and wife, what kind of good father or husband am I?"
He Tiantian was relieved to hear Huo Yingjie say that.
If you don't have enough money at home, you can borrow money first to pay the fine, and pay it back slowly later.
He Tiantian, who had been relieved, came home from get off work and saw a booklet and a form on the table.
Huo Yingjie looked displeased and glared angrily at the form.
He Tiantian picked up the form and saw that it was for married women who had already given birth to get an IUD inserted, or to have their vaginas sterilized if they didn't. The booklet below was a pamphlet promoting family planning, which contained all sorts of claims about the benefits of family planning.
They knew all of this, but they were even more reluctant to part with the unexpected child!
The baby in my belly was also tricky; it wouldn't have come earlier, and I wouldn't have been able to play with it. But just when the one-child policy was being implemented, it arrived.
