When Lin Yuxi got up, the bedside was no longer warm. When she checked the time, it was already past nine o'clock. Gu Chen had been up for more than three hours.
Suddenly, I felt like I kicked something at my feet—a hot water bottle, still warm.
Lin Yuxi lay down to rest for a while. Gu Chen must have put a hot water bottle by her feet after he got up, afraid that she would get cold.
Voices could be heard coming from outside.
Lin Yuxi changed her clothes, tied her hair back on her head, and then went out.
"Thank you." Jiang Shufen had just seen the person off when she opened the letter, glanced at it, and turned to see that Lin Yuxi was already up.
“Your dad and his family sent a letter saying that the house and job in Shanghai have been arranged. Since I'm not here now, they're not in such a rush to arrange jobs for you, so they've put your dad in first. Therefore, they probably won't be coming over for the New Year.”
That's roughly what she meant, because the work there is also at a critical juncture, and Lin Weidong needs to get to work as soon as possible.
Since she came to Beijing, there's no need to arrange work for her for a short time. Her two elderly parents are also getting old and can't go to work, so it's easier for Lin Weidong to arrange work for them. As for housing, the only option is to arrange an apartment for them to live in temporarily.
"Once they've settled in Shanghai, they can come directly from Shanghai, which will be easier. Or they can come when you give birth."
Jiang Shufen folded the letter.
"It's alright. Grandpa and Grandma are busy right now. If they can't manage, Mom, you can go back first. I'm free right now," Lin Yuxi nodded and suggested.
It's fine if we don't move our belongings over; we can just bring some clothes and household items. All three of us have money, so we can buy things anytime, anywhere.
Jiang Shufen glared at her, "You're five months pregnant now, it's a time when you can't leave home, how can I go back?"
Between pregnancy and moving, the pregnant woman is definitely more important.
Although she couldn't go back herself, she still had to write a letter to express her condolences.
"Could you help me reply to the letter? Please write neatly. I haven't written in a long time, and I've almost forgotten how to write." Jiang Shufen took out a piece of paper and a pen from the cabinet and handed them to her.
Lin Yuxi sat obediently at the table, writing a letter for Jiang Shufen.
“I’ll read, you write,” Jiang Shufen said slowly.
She roughly expressed her longing, then looked at Lin Yuxi's belly, "Remember to write the baby down too. You are all doing well now, so tell them not to worry. Ask your second uncle and aunt if they want to come over."
However, Jiang Shufen thought to herself that Gu Zhixiang and Wang Caixia probably wouldn't come here.
She only mentioned Gu Chen briefly, after all, Gu Chen's identity was special, and she didn't know his position. In any case, it was better to reveal as little as possible about Gu Chen.
Jiang Shufen has already decided that she will give her grandson a big red envelope when he is born.
Finally, Jiang Shufen added a reminder, "Tell them not to be stingy with money. If they run out of money, tell me and I'll bring it to them."
When Lin Yuxi left Qinghe Village, she left her family with more than a thousand yuan, as well as receipts.
"Okay, I got it. I've written it all down." Lin Yuxi looked at the long and detailed article she had written and then handed it to Jiang Shufen to review.
Jiang Shufen took a break and went to mail the letter.
Lin Yuxi, heavily pregnant, didn't go out. More than five months pregnant, she could barely see her feet anymore, and usually wore shoes that were convenient and easy to wear when going out.
It's already 1977, and the college entrance examination will be held at the end of the year. Lin Yuxi has already thought it through. After giving birth, she will encourage her family to study together and take the exam. After all, military families also have preferential treatment. If someone really wants to take the exam, it will definitely be more convenient than the exam for educated youth sent to the countryside.
