Xu Xiangyang was taken aback when he heard this, as he had indeed not prepared any clothes for himself.
However, he had reserved everything he needed, and it was still stored in his spatial storage.
Seeing him like this, Wang Xiumin said with some guilt, "I'm sorry to have been a burden to you since your mother came. You're always thinking about your family and you've forgotten about yourself because you're so busy."
Since they came to the city, they've watched Xu Xiangyang busy with everything, but they haven't been able to help him at all. Now that the new house is up and running, they just hope Xu Guangtian can get a job soon so they can ease their son's burden.
Hearing her say that, Xu Xiangyang became unhappy. "You are my closest family. What do you mean by being a burden? Is it wrong for me to care about my family? It's only right."
He never thought that having family would be a problem, and sometimes it was even a burden.
But after he actually had a family, he had a different feeling. What burden? This is happiness!
He had never experienced this kind of feeling before. What is family affection? What are relatives?
Now, he can truly understand it.
Therefore, he really hopes that his family can be together peacefully; nothing else really matters.
Having found emotional support, he felt an even greater responsibility on his shoulders.
Wang Xiumin felt a warm glow in her heart when she heard his words. After all, he was her son, and who wouldn't want to care for each other more?
"I'm so happy!" She patted her son's shoulder with a smile, feeling extremely pleased!
It wasn't for nothing that I treated him so well! He's definitely my biological son!
Xu Xiangyang watched as she changed into her new clothes and went out to show them off, noting that they cost over ten yuan apiece in the department store.
Most people wouldn't be willing to buy such expensive clothes; that's half a month's salary! Why not eat something better?
The neighbors looked at her new clothes with mixed feelings: some were envious, while others were disdainful.
I bought such an expensive piece of clothing, and I wonder how they're struggling to make ends meet behind the scenes.
Xu Xiangyang looked around the new house. It was almost dry, and with the hot weather, there was no problem living there.
Moreover, Xu Guangtian had already moved the original furniture over to him. They were using newly made furniture, which was definitely not as good-looking, but it was usable and very sturdy.
He tidied up the single bed and then started moving it into the room.
"You've moved in already?" Wang Zhongshan entered the courtyard to pour some tea and saw him moving a bed.
Xu Xiangyang nodded. "The windows are all installed, it's habitable."
Anyway, he felt uncomfortable living in the living room because they would wake up in the middle of the night and couldn't sleep well.
Wang Zhongshan beckoned to Xu Guangtian outside, asking him to come and help.
The room was almost dry, and all the furniture was there except for the curtains.
Xu Xiangyang took out two curtains from his suitcase, which he had prepared in advance.
Because he had built a house, he prepared some necessary items.
He needs sufficient privacy, especially regarding curtains.
Finally, I can sleep inside the space; it's such a comfortable and peaceful environment...
That won't work.
Xu Xiangyang looked at the tidied room, wondering what would happen if he didn't hear her when she called him for dinner.
He decided to stay outside anyway, since there was no strange smell in the house.
The family sat around the dinner table in the evening. Recently, their living conditions have improved, and everyone has gained two or three pounds.
Wang Xiumin, in particular, gained ten pounds during her pregnancy due to increased food intake!
In this era of widespread malnutrition, Wang Xiumin's weight has exceeded 90 jin (45 kg) and is approaching 100 jin (50 kg).
Her belly was very big, like she was about to give birth.
But it's only a little over six months old, which is really too big.
"Mom, go to the clinic tomorrow to have your stomach checked and see how it is." Xu Xiangyang was a little worried, so he told her to go to the hospital to get it checked out.
Wang Xiumin was taken aback for a moment, and said, "I'm perfectly healthy, why would I go to the health center for no reason?"
She didn't want to go at all. Who would want to go to a place when they're healthy and have no illnesses?
Besides, a simple checkup costs a lot of money, so what's the point?
Yesterday, she heard from Aunt Liu next door that her child went to the hospital to have his stomach checked and it actually cost more than three yuan!
That's five pounds of pork! Wouldn't it be better to buy some pork with that money?
“That’s right, why go to the hospital if there’s nothing wrong? It’s a waste of money.” Grandma Wang agreed from the side.
For those of us who live a frugal life, we shouldn't be so wasteful.
Seeing that she was unwilling to go, Xu Xiangyang said, "I see that your belly is bigger than usual for six months. It would be good to get it checked out."
After hearing what he said, everyone noticed that Wang Xiumin's belly was indeed quite big.
They hadn't noticed it before; after all, who stares at their belly all the time for no reason?
Even Wang Xiumin herself didn't check her stomach often. In their eyes, as long as there was no discomfort, it meant there was no illness.
Moreover, pregnant women nowadays rarely have prenatal checkups, as they think it's a waste of money.
"Xiangyang is right, we should go and see her." Wang Zhongshan nodded; his daughter's health was the most important thing.
He had often heard that women often had complications during childbirth, so since he had the opportunity, there was no harm in getting a checkup.
Seeing that the head of the family had spoken, Wang Xiumin stopped insisting and nodded in agreement.
The next morning, after breakfast, Xu Xiangyang went to work.
Wang Xiumin and her husband went to the health center for a check-up. Xu Xiangyang had already spoken yesterday, and the old man had agreed, so they had to go today.
After arriving at his workplace, Qian Wenqing asked him to sit outside for a while.
I had nothing to do early this morning, so I went out with him.
Qian Wenqing sat down next to him outside and said, "Brother Xu, lately..."
Seeing that something was wrong with him, Xu Xiangyang asked, "You wouldn't be thinking about it too, would you?"
Sure enough, Qian Wenqing chuckled and said, "Not really..."
Not yet? His expression betrayed him.
Xu Xiangyang sighed, then said, "Don't say I didn't warn you. Have you thought about this before? Don't you understand?"
"Who knows what will happen in the future? What if... who can escape?"
He's said everything he needed to say; whether Qian Wenqing listens or not is up to him.
Xu Xiangyang will not participate; his temporary involvement may bring temporary peace.
But what about the future? It can't stay like this forever, can it?
Qian Wenqing hesitated, but then he remembered that Xu Xiangyang had never listened to his advice before, and that things always went wrong afterward.
So he gritted his teeth and said, "Fine, I'll do as you say!"
Anyway, I won't lose anything if I don't join, but I see some of my friends have joined and they seem pretty smug.
However, after hearing what Xu Xiangyang said, he didn't feel there was anything particularly impressive about it.
The two chatted for a while and then went back. Even if there wasn't much to do at work, they couldn't just keep wandering around, could they?
Unlike Master Chen, who can go to the lounge to play cards or just stroll around and chat when he has nothing to do.
They have to stand guard at their posts obediently. What if they need people but can't find anyone?
