Now he only takes on some design work occasionally. If he wasn't afraid that the Xu family would think he was not doing his job properly, he would really want to do nothing and just stay at home and accompany Manman.
Xu Manman’s teacher’s apartment was used occasionally last semester, but now it is of no use at all.
She was thinking about whether to return it to the school. Although it was a benefit she should enjoy, she learned that some faculty and staff who were not of the same rank were not in a very good housing situation. It didn't seem good for her to keep occupying it.
She had nothing to do that afternoon, so she went straight to find Chen Ming and Xu Jianguo.
"It's not good for my house to stay like that. Aren't both of your houses smaller than mine? Why don't you exchange them with me first, and then return the smaller one to the school?"
They only have the right to use the houses they are allocated now, but considering the future situation, it is more beneficial to occupy a larger one in advance.
Although it goes against common sense, if this is really done, the school will not refuse. Chen Ming is an associate professor, and although Xu Jianguo is only a lecturer, his academic qualifications are very valuable, and he will be qualified in a few years.
Moreover, the school gets an advantage by being able to vacate one room.
It would be inappropriate for her to give the child to either her cousin who had depended on her for many years or her own brother, so she might as well bring it up directly and let them decide for themselves.
Chen Ming didn't hesitate. "Give it to Jianguo. I don't use this house often."
He made a lot of money in the United States with his cousin. A few days ago, he and his wife Zhang Wenjun found a small courtyard. If they rented it out, it would be enough to cover their living expenses every month. There was no need to argue with his brother for an extra room. He didn't take this matter to heart at all.
Speaking of this, we have to mention Xu Jianguo's fortune. It was all taught by Xu Manman. Although Chen Ming did not make a lot of money, he earned more than he lost.
But what about Xu Jianguo? Xu Manman didn't keep an eye on him and was trapped. Xu Manman was patient once or twice, but later she became discouraged and just gave him living expenses every month, no longer expecting him to get rich on his own.
The procedures for changing rooms went smoothly. Xu Manman had everything, so the furniture from Xu Jianguo's room was left behind. The procedures were completed the day before yesterday afternoon, and someone moved in next door early the next morning.
In December, my third cousin-in-law Zhou Qing was about to give birth. As the only unemployed person in the family, Jin Zichu was given a glorious and important task to visit relatives in Hai City on behalf of the whole family.
Before leaving, Xu Manman was forced to stay in the space day and night. After the people left, Xu Manman supported her sore lower back and breathed a sigh of relief.
When her husband is not at home, Xu Manman goes back to her parents' home for dinner in the evening.
"Your yard is too empty, so you can stay at home at night. I clean your room every week, and the quilts and bedding are all new."
Xu Manman chewed the braised pork with fermented bean curd made by her mother and nodded. She had originally planned to stay today.
Chen Meiyu handed her another piece of duck meat and said, "Nannan, you and Zichu have been married for a while now. While the school's fertility quota is not so tight, why don't you have a child sooner?"
Xu Manman took a bite of the duck meat and instantly felt that it was not delicious. Why did they start urging people to have children right after getting married?
"Zi Chu and I are still young. Besides, we just got married. Why are we in such a hurry to have a child? Let's wait for two years."
"It's precisely because you're young that giving birth early will help you recover faster, and it's also good for the child. Besides, many companies out there have to wait in line for fertility quotas these days, and your school happens to have a more relaxed schedule this year, so getting a birth certificate and having a baby will save you a lot of trouble."
Chen Meiyu knew this because Zhang Wenjun got the result in the first half of the year and is now pregnant.
"Zi Chu and I have no obsession with having children. It doesn't matter whether we have them or not."
Hearing her daughter say this, even though Chen Meiyu always loved her daughter, she was a little angry. "How can this child talk like that? How can a couple not have children after getting married? If you don't have children, what will you do when you are old? She just talks nonsense.
Besides, he is the only one left in Zichu's family. This bloodline cannot be cut off with him. Otherwise, you will be a sinner of the old Jin family. Even if you love Zizai, you must consider him. "
Although my family is considered to be well-educated and my son and daughter have studied abroad, the traditional Chinese concepts cannot be changed in a short time.
Xu Manman was also confused after hearing this. When she designed this identity for Jin Zichu, she just thought it was convenient and didn't consider that there would be so many things happening now.
Her status as an orphan actually became a powerful weapon that forced her to have children.
