Chapter 100 Little Zhou is really looking forward to it.
After Shen Yuzhu finished speaking, Ren Baobei immediately turned to look at her. What did she mean? Did she want her aunt to help her, or did she want her aunt to help her? Her intentions were too obvious. She could tell right away.
“Teacher Tan, I’m just an ordinary person. I don’t have high demands, and I didn’t mean to make things difficult for you. I’m telling the truth. I don’t lack money, as you know. I write articles for newspapers and have gained a little fame. I also have other works to be published soon. So, for me, translation work is just a job. If it can bring me closer to my fiancé, then it will be valuable to me.”
Tan Ying was stunned for a moment. How could such a beautiful, gentle, and seemingly delicate girl say such shameless things?
She was practically saying, "If you don't arrange a satisfactory job for me that's close to my man, I won't do it."
Having lived for so many years, this was the first time Ren Baobei had ever seen her aunt with such a bewildered expression. She wished she could find a camera and take a picture right then and there; it was just too funny.
"Shen Yuzhu, you're a talented person. I'll consider what you said, but... that's just how men are. I hope you remember what I said today, and I hope that one day you won't regret your decision. Alright, you've almost finished eating. Have some water, I'll go see if the driver has arrived yet."
After Tan Ying finished speaking, she left. Ren Baobei felt as if she had been discriminated against.
"Yuzhu, why did my aunt only ask you and not me? She invited both of us to dinner, doesn't that mean she also thinks I'm quite capable?"
Shen Yuzhu: "...Is it possible that your aunt thinks she can make decisions for you, and you wouldn't dare disobey her?"
Ren Baobei: "......"
That makes sense, but can't you at least show some respect?
After putting the money, tickets, and certificates into her bag, she transferred them directly to her spatial storage. After returning to the guesthouse, she packed some things and put them in her bag. The train ticket was for the next day. She had a good sleep in her spatial storage, and the next day she selected some things to take with her and returned to Xiangyang Production Team.
When she got home, Wang Liping was airing out her quilts. She was very happy to see her return.
"Oh, Yuzhu, you're back!"
"Huh, are you... airing out my blankets?"
"Yes, Yuming said you'd be back in half a month. She came over yesterday to dry these for you. She has to take care of the kids and go to work, so I told her I'd come today. It's okay, it's okay, these aren't heavy."
Shen Yuzhu put down her bag and pulled the blanket up a little.
"It can't be too light, there's no one home, they've all gone to work. How are they doing at work?"
Speaking of this, Wang Liping's face was full of joy. The people at the educated youth settlement made a fuss but got nothing and wasted a lot of work points.
She and Feng Zhengyang had already saved some money, and now they had an extra source of income. Sometimes she would help villagers alter clothes or something, and that would bring in a little extra cash. Although some families didn't have much money and gave her dried vegetables and coarse grains, at least it was all their own stuff.
Life is becoming more and more hopeful.
Qiao Wangshu worked with the people at the Agricultural Research Institute. The salary wasn't much, but it was no different from a regular job. Sometimes he could even come back early and have some money, which made him very happy. Sometimes when he wasn't busy, he could even help others prepare banquets.
Liang Manxiu was even better off at the supply and marketing cooperative. It was a respectable job, and she was always efficient. Her job also included registering and storing goods, so she could get her hands on any good stuff as soon as possible.
Last time, she snatched six meters of defective cloth, which nearly ruined several female educated youths, but she made a net profit of one yuan and fifty cents.
"She also bought you a pair of white sneakers, saying she'd give them to you when you got back, hehehe. Oh, by the way, the pigs at home are doing really well, do you want to go check them out?"
Shen Yuzhu shook her head and said, "Later, you're still pregnant. You absolutely mustn't go into the pigpen when feeding the pigs, lest you get hurt."
"I won't go in. Zhengyang will clean the pigsty when he gets off work, so I'll just feed them at lunchtime. It's not tiring."
Since she was there, Shen Yuzhu led her into the main room. Back in the provincial capital, she had been thinking that she was due to give birth in a few months, so she brought her some things that the baby and she herself could use.
These days, medical conditions aren't that advanced, so saving your life is the most important thing.
“Liping, I went to the provincial capital to see a doctor this time. I told him about your situation. The doctor said that you fell when you were in the early stages of pregnancy, so it would be best to give birth in the hospital. The doctor also gave me some medicine and said that if there is an emergency, you can put it under your tongue and hold it in your mouth.”
She put the Rejuvenating Pill in a small bottle and handed it to Wang Liping.
When she fell last time, Shen Yuzhu gave her a slice of ginseng. Even after going to the provincial capital, she was still thinking of her. How could she ever repay such a kindness?
"Alright, I've troubled you so much since I went to the countryside. We're sisters, friends, and comrades. Nothing is more important than your safety. Also, these are things I bought for my child. Consider them a gift from your aunt. Please don't say anything too polite to me. I don't like hearing that."
Wang Liping watched as Shen Yuzhu took out two sets of cotton baby clothes, two packets of milk powder, a stack of tissues and iodine disinfectant, and a ribbon. She couldn't understand what it was, so she looked up at Shen Yuzhu.
"I asked someone to buy this for me. It's a postpartum girdle. When you have a baby in your belly, your internal organs are stretched and shifted. After you give birth, your belly will feel empty and uncomfortable, and your stomach will sway around. I heard this from the doctor. Wearing this will make you feel more comfortable."
Wang Liping took it, along with other miscellaneous items. The bag was almost empty; it contained nearly everything for her and her child. She was so moved that her eyes welled up with tears.
Before long, Shen Yuming arrived with the children. The children hadn't seen her for a long time, and they were overjoyed to see her now, calling out "Auntie, Auntie!" repeatedly.
Not wanting to bother her, Wang Liping asked Zhang Jie to help carry her things and take her home.
Just then, Shen Yuming arrived, and Shen Yuzhu took out the certificate.
"Sister, look, this is the certificate I received. With this, Congsheng and I can get married."
"Really, that's wonderful! My God, Little Zhou has been waiting for this. Good, that's great, Yuzhu."
Shen Yuming looked at the certificate in her hand over and over, feeling very proud. He thought his sister was really capable. Only a smart person could get this. His sister was really smart!
Seeing that she was happy, Shen Yuzhu didn't disturb her. She took out some delicious snacks from her bag and gave them to the children. She also took out a bag of children's yogurt from her space, opened it with a tube, and gave each child a bag.
Panpan and the others had never seen anything like it before, and they all stared at her with wide eyes.
"This is yogurt that my aunt asked someone to bring back from out of town. It's specially for children. Try it, and if you like it, I'll have someone send you more, okay?"
"It tastes good, it definitely tastes good."
Shen Yuming was amused by his son. This silly boy, he hasn't even tasted it yet, but he's already sure it'll taste good. He's the kind of guy who'll want to drink it again and again.
