"Big brother, not bad."
Ruan Qiushui winked and smiled. Her older brother had only stayed for a day when he came back last time. He really seized the opportunity perfectly.
"Boss, Xinyue is pregnant. As her husband, you should show her more care and concern."
Ruan Hengzhi patted Ruan Shiping on the shoulder, adopting the air of someone who had been through it all.
"Father, I know."
Ruan Shiping has matured completely. For the sake of his wife and children, he will be a good husband and father and strive to improve himself.
"A while ago, an old friend from H City sent over a lot of supplements. I'll have Ruan Yatou check which ones are suitable for pregnant women and take them back for Xinyue and the baby in her belly."
This is the first grandchild of the Shen family, and they cannot mistreat either a grandson or a granddaughter.
Is my aunt pregnant?
Da Bao stood in front of Wang Xinyue, tilting his fluffy little head up curiously.
He's two and a half years old now, and he can already understand what adults are saying.
"When will the baby come out to play with the little one? I can give him some cake."
Xiao Bao ran up to Wang Xinyue and asked with his big, round eyes.
Jujube cake is her favorite pastry right now, and she's happy to share it with her baby.
"My darling, your aunt's baby is still a long way off."
Shen Yongjun hugged the two children tightly and kissed them repeatedly.
Even if his granddaughter-in-law gives birth to a child, it will not replace the place of his eldest and youngest children in his heart.
"Should I hire a nanny to take care of you at home?"
He Ruyi was somewhat worried.
The eldest son spends a lot of time at the research institute, and there's no one to take care of him at home. What if something happens to his daughter-in-law?
Besides, my daughter-in-law is still in school, and I'm already too busy to manage everything myself.
"I think it's okay."
Liu Sanmei completely agreed with her daughter-in-law's words.
Hiring a housekeeper can not only clean, cook, and keep you company, but also make things much easier for your granddaughter-in-law, who won't have to do anything.
"Then let's hire a nanny. Mom, see if you know anyone reliable, and get her back to work as soon as possible."
Ruan Hengzhi lacked the necessary resources and had to rely on Liu Sanmei.
"I'll make the arrangements."
"Dabao and Xiaobao are growing up and are full of energy. They're at the age where they love to play, so we can't keep taking up Changshu and Xiaoxiao's time. I'm planning to hire a nanny for the family."
“On weekdays, Zhang Ma is responsible for cooking and cleaning, while the new nanny is responsible for taking care of the children.”
She and the old man assisted from the side, which made things much easier for them.
If it weren't for the fact that she was used to Zhang Ma's cooking, Liu Sanmei would have let Zhang Ma take the child. People tend to trust the elderly they're used to.
"Alright, old woman, you decide. Changshu and Xiaoxiao should have their own private space too."
Shen Yongjun expressed his approval and entrusted the entire matter to his wife.
Recruiting people is such a meticulous task; it's definitely not suitable to entrust it to a rough and unrefined person like him.
"Grandpa and Grandma, Mom and Dad, you don't need to go to so much trouble. I can manage on my own."
Wang Xinyue was somewhat flattered.
She's still in her early pregnancy, so she can manage at home as long as she doesn't do heavy work.
Moreover, when Ruan Shiping wasn't home, she would go back to her parents' home or come to Ruan Qiushui's place for a meal. The rest of the time, she would eat at state-run restaurants, so she didn't have to cook for herself at all.
At most, I'll wash clothes and wipe tables at home.
"Yes, I will."
Ruan Shiping was on high alert.
Now that my wife is pregnant, I treat her like a porcelain doll, afraid she might bump or hurt herself.
He felt a pang of heartache whenever he thought about how weak, pitiful, and helpless his wife must be while he was away from home.
"Oh well."
Since her own man is so insistent, she should just listen to him.
"Grandpa Shen and Grandma Liu, we are actually quite happy taking care of Da Bao and Xiao Bao."
Gu Xiaoxiao and Gu Changshu also felt that there was no need to hire a housekeeper.
These are their own nephews and nieces; it's only natural for them to help take care of them.
And it really doesn't take up much of their time, since there are so many people in the family helping to take care of it.
They just wanted to do more to save their sister-in-law some money.
"Xiaoxiao, Changshu, your most important thing right now is your studies. Only if you study well can you better help Ruan Yatou."
Shen Yongjun understood what the two children meant, but he still insisted.
The Shen family isn't short of money, so why make things difficult for the two children?
"Then I'll make the arrangements right away."
Liu Sanmei thought for a moment, then turned around and made a phone call to her old friend. The friend immediately said she would find a few trustworthy aunties for her to choose from.
…
After lunch, Ruan Qiushui went to Zhou Yi's place.
Today is the auction house's monthly major auction, and Zhou Yi comes every month to oversee it and help Pang Dajun deal with some tricky issues.
Are you busy?
Ruan Qiushui met Zhou Yi on the third floor.
She had expected to see a listless and thin person, but the person actually looked quite energetic.
"not busy."
Zhou Yi shook his head.
He was full of enthusiasm for his career, feeling like he was on steroids.
"Sister Qiu, is there something important that you came here today?"
That's why I came in person.
Zhou Yi pulled out a chair for Ruan Qiushui to sit down and poured her a cup of tea.
"I just came to check on your mental state."
Ruan Qiushui was afraid of exploiting people too much.
Snow Skin has now established branch factories in five provinces and cities, and has as many as sixteen stores.
Zhou Yi not only had to manage the Snow Skin skincare business, but also had to take care of the auction house's affairs, making him like a constantly spinning top.
Do you need me to give you a day off?
Ruan Qiushui felt a little reluctant.
It seems that Zhou Yi has never taken leave except for normal holidays.
He and Lu Yao have been together for so long, yet they haven't even had time to have children.
I feel like she's just like Zhou Bapi (a notorious exploiter).
"A holiday? What kind of holiday?"
Zhou Yi instantly became alert. What did Sister Qiu mean by this?
Could it be that they think he's not working hard enough and want to replace him with someone else?
Did Pang Dajun badmouth him in front of Sister Qiu?
He knew that Pang Dajun had no good intentions and wanted to win Qiu Jie's favor so that he could bring him down and take her place.
Very well, he'll definitely teach Pang Dajun a lesson. He'll let him know who Sister Qiu's second-in-command really is.
"Sister Qiu, I'm fine. I don't want to, and I don't need to, take a vacation."
"Work makes me happy. I can keep working until the sea dries up and the world ends."
Zhou Yiteng stood up abruptly, determined not to give his hypothetical enemy, Pang Dajun, any chance.
He wanted to gain the upper hand over Sister Qiu.
He will always be Qiu Jie's number one follower.
"If you don't want a holiday, I won't force you. Sit down first, and don't get too excited."
Ruan Qiushui rubbed her forehead; saliva almost sprayed onto her face.
This was the first time she had ever seen a worker so enthusiastic about their job that they didn't even want a holiday.
