Chapter 505: Poverty is the Original Sin
"Okay, I'll pay attention next time!"
If you do something wrong, you have to admit it. Even if she didn't mean to slap Wen Shi, she still has to apologize if she hurts him.
So, she admitted her mistake and apologized in a very good manner, but Wen Shi didn't need to do that at all. He just reminded her, "You can hit me, but you can't hit outsiders."
The hands are not gentle at all, and it would be bad to make outsiders look bad.
Yi Chichi, "...Okay."
She actually doesn't touch outsiders, and there has never been any physical contact.
She will never do things like going out hand in hand with her sisters.
"Please do me a favor tomorrow."
Not wanting to continue this topic, she decisively diverted Wen Shi's attention.
"What's up?"
He touched her belly while smelling it, his tone lazy.
"Help me order a new embroidery frame."
Hearing this, Wen Shi, who had been somewhat nonchalant, widened his eyes like a frightened cat, "You, you want to start working?"
"Yes."
Wen Shi was speechless, "You are already in the late stage of pregnancy, and you are still... Can't you wait until you give birth before starting work?"
"I'm bored."
She doesn't need to take care of anything at home because her big belly puts pressure on her bladder and she can't go far. She can only walk around the family area and nearby.
It's really boring.
When she gave her reason, Wen Shi also started to have a headache, but he still didn't give up and suggested that she find other entertainment activities.
Yi Chichi finally understood why Wen Shi was particularly persistent in opposing her starting work.
I'm a little puzzled.
"Why don't you want me to start working?"
Wen Shi was silent for a while, then uttered, "I'm afraid you'll be sitting in front of the embroidery frame for hours. It's bad for your health and puts a lot of strain on your eyes."
"Not for the children?"
Yi Chichi teased him, and when he heard it, he immediately exploded, "What the hell? The child hasn't even been born yet, there's no comparison with you. You have to be well before the child is well. I care about you..."
He was so anxious that he was talking non-stop. Yi Chichi saw that he was really anxious and quickly hugged him to comfort him, "Okay, okay, I know you care about me, let's not be anxious anymore."
This is also the kind of person who likes to be pampered. He will be fine if he is coaxed, and once he is fine, he will want to be spoiled.
"Then can you promise me that you will wait until you are well after giving birth before you start working?"
That wasn't enough, he rubbed against her like a big dog, and stared at her without blinking with a pair of eyes that looked as affectionate as a dog's, which perfectly explained why he wouldn't give up until she agreed.
Yi Chichi was so annoyed by him that he had no choice but to agree.
"Okay, I'll start working after I give birth, but I still have to order the embroidery frame so I don't have to wait."
This is possible.
but--
"Aren't there two of them at home?"
"Wrong size."
The portrait was made to the size of a screen, which meant that the only two embroidery frames in the house were not the right size.
"This time it's made in an adjustable medium size."
Wen Shi didn't understand these things. After all, he was not a carpenter and could not do carpentry work.
So, he relayed Yi Chichi's request to the carpenter along with everything he said.
Compared with large items such as beds and wardrobes, the embroidery frame requires much less technical difficulty.
But compared with benches and chairs, the difficulty is comparable.
It took the carpenter a full week to complete it. No paint was applied, and the shelf was polished smooth by hand using tools.
On the day the embroidery frame arrived home, Yi Chichi took the medicine powder back.
Wen Shi, who received the powder, was pleasantly surprised and asked, "Can I use it right away?"
"Can."
She handed over the packaged powder. "I've divided this bag into two hundred small packets. Take them with you when you go out to sea. Be sure to keep them waterproof."
"good."
Wen Shi put the bag away like a treasure, and when he thought of the rest, he asked her. When he learned that she had been sent to the team doctor's office, he happily hugged her and kissed her twice, "Wife, thank you!"
Wen's mother came out with the dishes and was about to call for dinner. She happened to see Wen Shi gnawing at Yi Chi Chi like a dog. She stepped back awkwardly and said, "Wash your hands and get ready to eat."
“Hey!”
The most important thing in the world is eating. The two people, who had no idea that their affection was seen by Wen's mother, ran happily to wash their hands and eat.
The dinner was very sumptuous. Wen's mother steamed a grouper, a pot-fried pork, smashed a cucumber, and made tiger skin green peppers.
When he heard it, he asked, "...Where did the green pepper come from?"
If I remember correctly, all the green peppers in the vegetable garden were eaten, and the new ones that grew were too small to be this big.
"I picked it from her vegetable garden after going to the sea with Xiao Yang."
Wen Shi said, "Mom, did you give me the money?"
"No, she didn't pay me when she came to our house to pick basil and ginger."
The implication is: mutual benefit, talking about money will hurt feelings.
Yi Chichi’s focus is different, it’s all on eating.
Speaking of perilla, she thought of perilla barbecue, so she suggested, "Mom, can we buy some pork belly and barbecue it tomorrow?!"
Before Wen's mother could say anything, Wen Shi immediately said, "Okay, since you want to bake it, bake more. Lao Du and the others will be arriving in Hong Kong tomorrow, so we can get together."
Yi Chichi was curious, "Are they floating on the sea or underwater?"
"submarine!"
"Then you have to be locked up in a small dark room."
After drifting underwater for several months, he was in a confined environment for a long time, with his day and night reversed, and his mental state became abnormal.
When you first get ashore, you feel dizzy when you walk. If you are not locked up in a small dark room and do not receive psychological counseling, it is easy to have problems.
Wen Shi hummed, "But we won't shut them up in a hurry. We have to let them take a bath and have a good meal first."
Otherwise, you can't control your temper and you won't like anything.
“How many people can come?”
Wen's mother began to care about the number of people and prepared to find help.
"Not all of them will come, let's count them as ten for now."
Mother Wen nodded, "Okay, then you can invite Comrade Li and the others along, and I'll ask Xiao Ji and the others to help."
This is fine.
So, after dinner, Wen Shi strolled to the door and called Lao Li and others to discuss tomorrow's dinner.
As soon as this topic was raised, it immediately received responses from everyone.
"There will be a high tide tomorrow morning. We can go fishing and grill some seafood."
Ji Jian was so excited that he wanted to grab his backpack and go to the beach.
Wen's mother smiled and said, "Then you go to the sea tomorrow morning and I'll go to the market to buy meat and other things."
"Then let's deliver the tables, chairs, dishes, and other things before work tomorrow."
Lao Lei volunteered to deliver the equipment.
Lao Li and the others responded immediately.
Yi Chichi listened to their heated discussion and found that everyone was very enthusiastic about the dinner.
She also wanted to find something to do, so she offered to wash the dishes, but was unanimously rejected. The reason was very reasonable: a pregnant woman with a big belly just had to watch and wait for the food to be served.
She doesn't need to do anything else.
Lying in bed at night, Yi Chichi sighed, "I'm probably the most relaxed pregnant woman in the family quarters."
Wen Shi was wiping his feet when he heard the voice. Without even looking up, he said, "Whether a pregnant woman has an easy life or not depends mainly on the man. If a man doesn't want his wife to suffer, he will naturally go home to help with the housework. He will be willing to move his body if he sees work, and he will also visit the neighbors and ask his sisters-in-law to take care of his wife more when he is away."
Yi Chichi nodded in agreement, "You're right, but many gay men can't do this."
Wen Shi sighed, "I don't know about other places, but here we don't blame the men. The work intensity is high and the pressure is high, so when they get home they just want to relax. Haven't you noticed? The men who come home and become hands-off bosses are mostly wives whose spouses don't have jobs and have to take care of the family, husbands, and children. People like Sister Li who have jobs don't dare to be hands-off bosses when they get home."
It will explode.
He looked at Yi Chichi and asked, "Wife, what did you discover through these comparisons?"
"The economic base determines the superstructure, and also determines how much support lesbians have in their families. Life is not easy when you have to rely on your hands."
"That's right, but it's not the sisters-in-law's fault. There simply aren't enough positions to satisfy everyone."
Yi Chichi sighed, "We are still too poor."
Poverty is the original sin.
