While Su Qingwen was still in a daze, Ye Beiping had already poured the wine.
"Dad, today is the day Xinyi and I move into our new house, so let's have a drink to celebrate."
Forehead......
Su Qingwen, who was about to refuse, was stunned for a moment. This reason... seemed impossible to refuse.
wrong!
Yesterday, I said it was the first time I was treating someone to dinner, so I ordered good wine and good food.
Today is the day to move into my new house and have some good wine.
tomorrow......
I feel like this kid has led me astray.
But since things have come to this point, we can't just pour the wine back, can we?
Su Qingwen could only sigh and said, "I didn't want to drink, but you said you're going into your new house today, so I'll let it go this time. Don't try to make me drink again next time."
"You two should be more frugal. A bottle of Moutai costs six or seven yuan, which is enough for the two of you to eat for several days."
Forehead......
Ye Beiping and Su Xinyi were stunned when they saw Su Qingwen take a sip of wine, not expecting him to say such a thing.
However, I have indeed been drinking quite frequently these past two days.
We ate a late-night snack on the first day.
We went out to eat the next day.
Day three...
It seems like there's always a reason. After realizing what was happening, Ye Beiping understood why Su Qingwen would say that.
"Dad, I'll listen to you." A good son-in-law should listen to his father-in-law.
Su Qingwen was very happy to hear this.
Su Xinyi was very happy to see the two most important men in her life getting along so well.
I wanted to have a drink with them, but after glancing at my stomach, I decided against it.
We had a very pleasant lunch.
However, this time Su Qingwen only drank one cup and then stopped, saying he would drink again next time, unlike the previous two days when he drank too much.
If I drink too much, I really won't be able to show my face to anyone.
After finishing his meal, Ye Beiping cleaned up and made his father-in-law a cup of tea.
"Dad, please have some tea."
"Okay." Su Qingwen looked at his son-in-law, who was slowly getting used to it. Suddenly, he remembered something and asked, holding his water glass, "Beiping, when did you say we were going to Wencheng?"
"this......"
Ye Beiping glanced at Su Xinyi's belly and said somewhat awkwardly, "Originally, I meant the sooner the better, so that Xinyi could have a good life sooner by earning money sooner."
"It's just that we've been in Hangzhou for so long, but I haven't taken Xinyi for a proper prenatal checkup yet. I think it's not too late to go after the prenatal checkup is over."
The term "prenatal checkup" was not exactly new in 1979.
Families with the means generally choose to have prenatal checkups, since unlike in rural areas, childbirth is seen as a woman's mission, and spending money on prenatal checkups is considered a waste.
It feels like women are just reproductive tools; those who can have children will naturally have them, and those who can't are simply infertile. This is incredibly feudal and superstitious.
Upon hearing those two words, Su Xinyi glanced at Ye Beiping shyly, feeling a warmth in her heart.
Even in the city, not many people are willing to have prenatal checkups, let alone when it was the man who suggested it.
She had thought about it herself, but felt that the two of them weren't financially well-off, so she decided against it.
Su Qingwen understood Ye Beiping's meaning and tapped her fingers on her knees, saying, "We can do Xinyi's prenatal checkup when you get back. It's almost Saturday, so Xinwan can come and take care of Xinyi. You should also come back as soon as possible."
“Otherwise, if you leave after your prenatal checkup, Xinwan will still be studying. Of course, it’s not that Xinwan’s studies are more important than Xinyi’s health, but this way, neither of them will be neglected.”
When it comes to getting things done, it's still better to have someone as experienced as Su Qingwen, a middle-aged man.
Considering that Su Xinyi had just been discharged from the hospital and had already undergone some tests, and the doctor said there were no problems, it wouldn't matter if the specific prenatal check-up was postponed for two days.
The main reason is that Su Xinwan has time to take care of her sister on Saturdays and Sundays.
It doesn't affect his younger daughter's studies, killing two birds with one stone, which can be considered as a father treating both daughters equally.
Ye Beiping thought for a moment, unsure how many days he would be in Wencheng. If it would affect Su Xinwan's studies, hiring someone to come and take care of Su Xinyi would be a good option.
He wasn't too worried about money; there were countless ways to make money, it was just a matter of time. As for his wife and children, he was the only one who truly cared.
Before he could figure it out, Su Xinyi said, "Dad, let's listen to you. We can't let it affect Xinwan's studies."
"Hmm." Su Qingwen felt that his suggestion was quite reasonable, and since his eldest daughter agreed, he felt relieved. "Beiping, about this matter..."
Just as a decision was about to be made, Ye Beiping unexpectedly said:
“Dad, Xinyi, how about this? I’ll see if I can find a nanny to take care of Xinyi. Even if I come back from Wencheng, I can’t be home every day. Having Xinwan take care of her will definitely affect her, so it’s better to just find a nanny.”
"this......"
Ye Beiping's words immediately left Su Qingwen and Su Xinyi speechless.
nanny?
That's only needed to take care of high-ranking officials. Su Qingwen had heard that some wealthy families hired nannies before the founding of the People's Republic of China. Was that still allowed after the founding of the People's Republic of China?
Su Xinyi felt that she was not some protected animal, so why should she be so delicate that she needed to hire a nanny?
Before the father and daughter could refuse, Ye Beiping continued:
"Although hiring a nanny costs money, I believe I can earn that money back. If I can, I'll feel more at ease outside and can focus more on doing business and making money, right?"
"The most important thing is that the nannies are all professionals. Neither Xinyi nor I, nor even Xinwan, have any experience in this area. The nannies must have given birth before and be experienced, which is a guarantee for Xinyi and the baby. Grandma Qiu downstairs can also keep an eye on things. If the nanny isn't good, given Grandma Qiu's personality, she definitely won't tolerate any problems, right?"
