Jiang Jinyao looked at An Lude with confusion, then compromised and said, "We're willing to pay a little more."
“This isn’t about the money, Yao Yao. We’d rather find a stranger than my cousin. She has her own child to take care of, and she’ll definitely have to bring the child over. Besides, if something goes wrong, it could hurt our relationship. Let’s just forget about it.”
Anlude understood his cousin's personality and didn't want his wife to suffer.
The parents give them money, and since they can also earn their own money, it's enough to find a good postpartum nanny to take care of the baby, so there's no conflict.
It's not easy to find a postpartum nanny these days.
If you look for someone from outside, it's hard to say what will happen if you encounter someone unsuitable. It's the same if you look for someone you know or a relative.
"Alright then, I'll listen to you." Jiang Jinyao had no choice but to say to An Lude, "I can't quit my job. I've been working for almost four or five years. I've been applying for a house since I got married. Recently, the factory's revenue has been good, and they've built houses for the employees. I should be able to get a house in about two years."
Jiang Jinyao's original household registration was here, but she settled here with her mother.
She is now married and a senior technician, so the factory will give priority to those with families.
Especially since her husband is a soldier and they have a child, they don't have to wait for so many years.
An Lude nodded and said, "Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on it. Sister Xiang Shulan takes good care of the children. I'll ask Commander Zhang Dali about it. How about a monthly salary of thirty-five yuan?"
Jiang Jinyao thought of Xiang Shulan's personality; she was very gentle, so it was indeed a good match.
"It depends on whether Shulan is willing." Jiang Jinyao looked at how much Zhang Dali doted on his wife, so it was probably not going to work out. "Besides, Xiaoli is pregnant now. After their child is born, Aunt Zhang probably won't quit her job to take care of the baby, so Sister-in-law Shulan will definitely have to help."
Anlude fell into deep thought.
The couple pondered the issue of childcare. Jiang Jinyao said, "If all else fails, I'll bring him to work. I can take good care of him while sitting in the office."
"No, that won't do. I'll figure out a way to handle this. Don't overthink it. The important thing right now is to get some rest, okay?" An Lude comforted Jiang Jinyao first.
When Lu Chen returned from Jiang Jinyao's house, Shen Qiaoyue noticed that Lu Chen's expression was not good.
"What happened to Yao Yao?"
Lu Chen shook his head and sighed softly, "Yao Yao has become so thin after giving birth. It breaks my heart to see her like this."
"Yaoyao can't eat anything?" Shen Qiaoyue thought for a moment and said, "An Lude's cooking is terrible, but Aunt Luyang's food is so delicious. Now that she's back at work, she's spoiled Yaoyao's palate."
Li Xiaoxiao listened and said, "It's okay, I'll start making delicious food for Yao Yao tomorrow."
“Auntie, this is too tiring. Let the couple handle it,” Lu Chen was the first to refuse.
Li Xiaoxiao was already exhausted from taking care of their child, and now she also had to take care of Jiang Jinyao's daily life. She was incredibly tired.
Li Xiaoxiao added, "I didn't do much work. You made breakfast. The children go to school and don't come back until evening. It's just me and Xiangxiang eating lunch, and even with Yaoyao, it's not a big meal. It's okay."
She doesn't need to take full care of the children during the New Year and the Lunar New Year. She can only take care of them for less than two hours after they come home from school. Shen Qiaoyue also comes home from get off work, so the housework is usually shared by the two of them, so they are not too tired.
“Okay, I’ll cover Yao Yao’s living expenses. Thank you, godmother.” Seeing Li Xiaoxiao’s response, Lu Chen could only agree for now. “Yao Yao just finished her postpartum confinement a few days ago. Helping her for about half a month should be enough for her to cook for herself. Thank you, godmother.”
Lu Chen was genuinely embarrassed; there was nothing they could do.
Li Xiaoxiao was very capable throughout her life, always busy, and there was nothing she couldn't do.
Shen Qiaoyue looked at Li Xiaoxiao with heartache and silently noted these things down.
When taking the child out to play, after boarding the bus, Da Nian sat on his father's lap and was exceptionally happy.
Shen Qiaoyue held Xiao Nian in her arms and noticed that Danian looked very happy. It was rare for the boy to be so happy.
Upon arriving at the zoo, several children were bustling about.
I watched it over and over again, and I would jump up happily whenever I saw an animal. Everyone said something different.
Da Nian held his father's hand the whole time, and Lu Chen would hug Da Nian and Xiao Nian every now and then.
The three children sometimes walk together hand in hand.
Many parents brought their children out to play on the weekend, and everyone looked happy and full of energy.
Seeing the children so happy reminded Shen Qiaoyue of her childhood. Her parents had suddenly returned and taken her and her sister to the zoo. That was her happiest day. She hadn't seen her parents for several years, and when they suddenly came back, they took her and her sister to play and visit many places. But when they left, they left quietly. Shen Qiaoyue felt sad when she saw her parents leave.
Now she has more time to accompany her children as they grow up, with their parents by their side, taking meticulous care of them. She hopes that her children will not become like her in her previous life, who only received care and companionship from their parents from a young age, lacked communication, were easily taken advantage of by others, and lost the most important family members in their lives.
True happiness in marriage is a simple and ordinary life; a life without ups and downs is just fine too.
On the way from the zoo to the department store by bus, the three children all seemed silent and unhappy because they didn't want to leave the zoo.
"Kids, we'll come again next time, don't be sad, okay?" Shen Qiaoyue comforted the children. "The zoo isn't far from home, we'll come together again next time when we have time. It's best to have something to look forward to. If you come too often, you won't look as good next time."
