Chapter 111 All in
Song Sanchun was already showing signs of being pregnant. She got out of bed holding her belly and woke up from her nap.
Wang Mingjie got up first, went to the kitchen to get a bowl, cut two tomatoes, mixed them with white sugar, and waited for more juice to come out.
Song Sanchun likes to eat sweet food recently, and sour and sweet food is the best. Every day when he wakes up from a nap, he must eat a bowl of this to make his stomach feel comfortable.
Song Sanchun was still dazed and didn't want to say a word, but he had already sat down at the table, picked up a spoon and started eating tomatoes.
There is more juice now. Eat it with the syrup first. It tastes sour and sweet.
Wang Mingjie began to tidy himself up, washing his hands and face, changing his shoes, and getting dressed for work.
Just at this moment, Xin Tianyi and Zhang Yang came back together.
Wang Mingjie had already changed one of his shoes. He looked up and saw Xin Tianyi already walking into the yard. He smiled and asked, "Why are you back at this hour? Come in quickly."
Xin Tianyi bought milk powder and some fruits and put them on the coffee table in the living room. Turning around and seeing Song Sanchun, he quickly called her sister-in-law.
Song Sanchun stood up with the spoon in hand, turned around and was about to put the spoon back, looked at the tomatoes in the bowl, and asked hurriedly, "Tianyi, do you want to eat some?"
Xin Tianyi shook his head: "I just had lunch, sister-in-law, you can eat."
Wang Mingjie had poured some water for Zhang Yang and asked him to sit down. The two chatted for a while.
Seeing that he had changed his shoes, Zhang Yang hurriedly asked, "Are you going out? Don't worry about us. Go and do something first."
Wang Mingjie smiled and said, "It's okay. I'm on duty on the weekend, so it's okay to go in a little later."
Xin Tianyi didn't see Wang Gang and Liu Meilan, so he asked Song Sanchun, "Sister-in-law, are your uncle and aunt not home? Or are they taking a nap?"
"They're not home," Song Sanchun said. "They won't be back at noon."
Xin Tianyi didn't understand and asked, "Not coming back? What were they doing there?"
Wang Mingjie explained, "Didn't my aunt run a shoe store before? She opened it with a friend."
"Oh," Xin Tianyi said, "it's been many years. What happened?"
"That friend quit and said he wanted to sell the business, so my parents took over the store," Wang Mingjie said. "They just took it over last week and didn't have time to tell you."
Xin Tianyi's eyes widened. "That market hasn't been demolished yet? Didn't I hear it was going to be demolished? Why is it still open?"
"It seems they won't demolish it again." Wang Mingjie said, "Anyway, it won't be demolished in the next two years. They thought they could keep it going for two years. They took it over first to practice. There are so many vendors in the market. Even if it's demolished, they need a place to relocate. It's okay."
"That's right," Xin Tianyi said, "Do your uncle and aunt still sell shoes?"
"We'll talk about it after we sell all the goods." Song Sanchun added, "I heard my mother-in-law wants to continue selling shoes."
Xin Tianyi looked at Song Sanchun and said, "There are quite a few places selling shoes in the market. I think it would be better to sell children's clothing. Last week, my colleague's child was one month old, and we looked everywhere for a good children's clothing store, but couldn't find one. Finally, someone recommended one, and when we got there, it was packed."
"Yeah." Song Sanchun's eyes lit up. "Why didn't you think of that? I was thinking of buying some newborn supplies, but I couldn't find any."
Wang Mingjie agreed. "The shoe stores are all full, and the styles are pretty much the same. Children's clothing stores like the one Tianyi mentioned are rare. Nowadays, people can only have one child, and every child is a treasure in the family, so everyone is willing to spend money."
"Yes, that's right." Song Sanchun said, "Then I'll tell my mother-in-law when I get home tonight. If they sell children's clothes, I can help after I give birth."
Song Sanchun originally worked as a family member in the logistics department of Wang Mingjie's unit, but after only a few months on the job, she became pregnant. Her job often required climbing high and low, which was dangerous for a pregnant woman, so she could no longer do it.
Song Sanchun was unemployed and waiting for her baby, so she had to rely on Liu Meilan's mood. So when Liu Meilan proposed taking over the shoe store, Song Sanchun quickly took out some of her savings and asked Liu Meilan to take over. This was to reduce the chances of them meeting, which would also make her feel better.
Song Sanchun likes to chat with Xin Tianyi. In her eyes, Xin Tianyi is a woman different from her.
Xin Tianyi went to university, is educated, knowledgeable, and beautiful, and now works as a university teacher. This is a life that Song Sanchun can never reach.
She felt that Xin Tianyi understood a great deal, and every word he uttered carried a sacred aura. Song Sanchun often found relief in her conversations with Xin Tianyi, and even difficult problems could be solved with just a few words.
Song Sanchun always thought that her daughter should be raised according to Xin Tianyi's model.
After hearing what Song Sanchun said, Xin Tianyi said, "Why put your hopes on the child? It's not too late for you to start now."
Song Sanchun shook his head and waved his hands, "I can't do it. I didn't go to school much."
"A diploma doesn't represent your knowledge," Xin Tianyi said. "And if you want, you can continue studying and taking exams now."
"Really?" Song Sanchun looked at Xin Tianyi.
"It's always better to try." Xin Tianyi smiled and shook Song Sanchun's hand. "No book is read in vain, and no journey is taken in vain. Isn't that right, sister-in-law?"
Before leaving, Wang Mingjie asked Xin Tianyi and Zhang Yang to stay for dinner. Xin Tianyi said he had an appointment in the evening, so Wang Mingjie did not try to keep him. He just asked Xin Tianyi not to bring so many things home next time.
"Yeah." Song Sanchun walked Tianyi to the door and said, "Who would buy so many things when they go home? Don't do that next time."
Xin Tianyi and Zhang Yang came out of their house and walked hand in hand in the cotton mill yard.
Today the compound has lost its former bustle. Many people have moved out, and only the elderly remain.
They sat together playing chess, and occasionally a few children came out to play, but they were all unfamiliar faces.
But even so, Xin Tianyi still thinks this place is the best.
"What are you looking at?" Zhang Yang asked with a smile. "We all know how many bricks there are in this compound. What else are you so curious about?"
Xin Tianyi looked at the children running around and murmured, "I don't recognize these children anymore."
"More and more people are renting houses," Zhang Yang said. "A lot of people who used to live in the compound have moved out. People who come here to work prefer to rent houses here because the rent is cheap."
"Yeah." Xin Tianyi sighed, "In a few years, this compound will be demolished."
"Probably." Zhang Yang said.
Zhang Yang finished speaking and gently squeezed Xin Tianyi's hand. "Whether it's demolished or not, even if it is, the memories are still there. I'm still here too."
Xin Tianyi turned his head to look at him, and the warm afternoon sun was shining on Zhang Yang's face.
Xin Tianyi will never forget those eyes and eyebrows for the rest of his life.
Time seemed to go back to the day when she just moved here. Zhang Yang and the others were playing with paint, and Xin Tianyi's backpack was left with bright red marks by these naughty kids.
"You said Dabao asked us to come in the evening. Are they going to announce their wedding?" Zhang Yang's voice pulled Xin Tianyi back from his memories.
"That should be it. Bai Xue told me that Dabao is very anxious and afraid that we will get there before them."
Zhang Yang paused for a moment, then quickly said, "How about we get ahead of them?"
