Chapter 338: Then our family adopts this child?
Zhou Yong's eyes swept over Zhang Guifang and Li Baotian's faces one by one. He lowered his voice and said, "Mom and Dad, we need to find a nanny not only to take care of the child, but mainly because Sister Jiang is a little too busy now..."
Jiang Yue'e has a heavy workload every day and rarely has time to rest since she opens her eyes.
Not only is she responsible for cleaning the house, but she is also responsible for three meals a day for the nine people in the Li family. Washing and scrubbing are naturally within her job scope, and she also has to tend to the vegetable garden and feed poultry.
In the summer, clothes have to be changed every day. The lack of a washing machine at home increases Jiang Yue'e's workload.
So she discussed these things with Zhou Yong privately in the past few days, hoping that he would hire a nanny and she would quit her job.
To be honest, if it weren't for the high salary and good benefits offered by Zhou Yong, Jiang Yue'e would have quit long ago.
Even so, she persisted for a few years, but now she is so tired that her arms and legs hurt when she goes to bed at night. Jiang Yue'e feels that if she continues to work for the Li family, she will sooner or later develop a lot of health problems.
After careful consideration, Zhou Yong promised Jiang Yue'e that the family would hire another nanny and her salary would remain unchanged.
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Baotian frowned: "You two can take care of these things. Dad and your mom won't ask you about these things..."
Zhou Yong pursed his lips, and Li Caiyun said to herself: "In this case, the nanny fee will be fifty yuan a month, which is equivalent to my salary being gone."
"Xiao Yun, if there is no nanny at home, you need to turn around the stove day after day and year after year. Then let me ask you, do you want to go to work, or are you willing to stay at home..."
If she ignores the nanny, Li Caiyun cannot go out to work and she has to do the housework at home.
Not only is it tiring, but the most important thing is that there are too many trivial things to do. If Li Caiyun had to choose, she would rather go to work.
Zhou Yong's words left Li Caiyun silent. Zhang Guifang continued, "Caiyun's class is only for half a year, so just hire a nanny who can work for half a year. This way you can save some money..."
The calculation is not as straightforward as Zhang Guifang's. A good nanny is hard to come by.
Li Baotian couldn't help but look at his wife: "Don't make any random arrangements."
Zhang Guifang muttered: "Wouldn't this save a lot of money?"
Li Baotian frowned slightly: "You don't have to worry about money. Zhou Yong's two salaries are more than 100 yuan a month, Caiyun's a little over 50 yuan a month, and don't I still have more than 30 yuan a month in salary?
We will give them some subsidy every month then. As for your endless nagging? ”
Zhang Guifang was so angry that she hit Li Baotian on the shoulder. Zhou Yong and Li Caiyun looked at each other and smiled silently.
"Dad, we don't need you to support us. We have enough money..."
Li Baotian smiled and said, "Dad knows that you two have enough money, but I have to say these words because it is a matter of attitude..."
Zhou Yong discovered that the older Li Baotian got, the more comprehensive his considerations became.
"Dad, you think a lot."
Li Baotian said with a smile: "When you reach my age, I guarantee you will think about more things than I do."
Zhou Yong chuckled quietly, and Zhang Guifang brought the topic back to the topic: "Then our family adopted this child?"
Li Caiyun glanced at Zhou Yong, and before he could say anything, Li Baotian said, "Since the child was picked up by Gousheng, it means that this child has a destiny with our family.
This is God's will, and we cannot go against it.
Besides, having a new baby is a good thing, it just means having an extra set of bowls and chopsticks for meals..."
Zhang Guifang nodded slowly: "Zhou Yong and Caiyun, what do you two think?"
Zhou Yong and Li Caiyun had expressed their intentions before, but they just lacked someone to take care of the child.
Now the family has to hire a nanny to take care of the child as long as he can walk and run.
The matter was settled, but if one wanted to adopt the child, one not only had to report to the police station, but also register the child.
If a child wants to be registered, he or she needs a name. The question of whether to have the surname Zhou or Li was discussed.
Zhou Yong never cared about these things, but Li Caiyun wanted the child to have the surname Zhou.
Because the three brothers Li Jingchu, Li Jingen and Li Jingan took their mother's surname, and the sisters Zhou Kexin and Zhou Kerou took their father's surname. If this child had the surname Zhou, it would just happen that the three brothers would have the surname Li and the three sisters would have the surname Zhou.
After listening to Li Caiyun's words, Li Baotian and Zhang Guifang didn't say anything. No matter what the child's surname was, they were the children of this family and would call them grandpa and grandma in the future.
The last name was taken from Zhou Yong, and several people started discussing the issue of the name.
"Mom and Dad, what do you think about calling her Zhou Keli?"
Li Baotian glanced at Li Caiyun who was giving random names: "Keli? Grains? Seeds?"
Li Caiyun blinked and read the name Zhou Keli several times in her mind. It really does sound like a seed.
Zhang Guifang spoke slowly: "Where is Zhou Kele? I hope the child can grow up happily in the future."
Cola?
Zhou Yong couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
Li Baotian frowned: "Coke? It doesn't sound like a girl's name."
Zhang Guifang fell into deep thought, and Li Baotian slowly spoke: "What do you think of the name Zhou Keyu?"
Li Caiyun thought this name was good: "Dad, I think this name has a good meaning. It's a once in a lifetime opportunity. Isn't it referring to Zhou Keyu?"
Li Baotian frowned: "You are really good at making associations. I didn't think that much at all. The name Ke Yu is okay, but it doesn't seem to match the names of the two sisters Ke Xin and Ke Rou..."
"How is Zhou Ketian?"
These words were said by Zhang Guifang, and Li Caiyun burst out laughing.
"Zhou Ketian? Mom, does it feel like asking if porridge is sweet if sugar is added..."
Zhang Guifang was stunned for a few seconds, then she came to her senses and couldn't help laughing: "You know what, it really is that way."
Zhou Yong glanced at the mother and daughter, and said while thinking: "Where is Zhou Keke? Kexin is lovely and cute, I hope she has a good future..."
There was no dispute about the name. As for the nickname, according to Li Baotian's suggestion, he wanted to call it Yangfendan. When Zhou Yong heard it, he shook his head like a rattle!
"Dad, it's not appropriate to nickname a girl Yangfendan."
Li Baotian, however, argued: "A cheap name is easy to maintain."
Zhou Yong understood what his father-in-law meant. Even if the child was easy to support with a humble name, there had to be a difference.
Li Caiyun said at the side: "How about calling her Yaya? What do you think?"
Zhang Guifang smiled and said, "It's just a nickname, what can't I call it?"
Li Baotian nodded: "Then let's call her Yaya!"
Zhou Yong felt that this nickname was more reliable than Yangfendan, so he was in favor of it.
The next day, Zhou Yong took some time to go to the police station with the child and reported what happened when he found the child.
Director Geng glanced at the child in Zhou Yong's arms and joked with him: "Captain Zhou, this child is not your own, is he?"
Although he didn't say it directly, Zhou Yong understood what Director Geng wanted to express.
Nowadays, family planning is strictly enforced. Conscientious parents will try all means to keep the baby if they give birth to a girl.
Some children were picked up, some were fostered by relatives, in short, these kinds of things happen all the time.
"Director Geng, when my son picked up the child on his way home from school, many people saw it. And my wife has been sterilized, so it's impossible for her to have a baby..."
