"The cost shouldn't be too high. Anyway, this day was bound to come sooner or later. Let's prepare now, and when the time is right, we can make a fortune. We won't lose money no matter what."
Yu Jiu stated her plan directly: it was unrealistic to collect hundreds or thousands of sets of physics and chemistry books. It would be better to find a printing factory to print them herself. Although that would also be quite difficult, finding the right connections would be much easier than collecting them one by one.
“Okay, I think it’s a good idea. I’ll look for a way in a couple of days. I happen to know a friend who works in a printing factory.”
Xu Zijiang immediately agreed with Yu Jiu's suggestion and began to implement it step by step. Their love for each other was equal, and their support was mutual. Generally, whatever they said would receive the other's support, which was why Yu Jiu dared to bring this up.
"Then I'll leave this to you. You decide how many sets to print. It's okay to print a little more. Knowledge never expires, and we have plenty of space at home, so we can keep them and sell them slowly."
Yu Jiu didn't care about the price, but she knew she could definitely sell it.
"good."
The two quickly agreed on the matter and made a fortune five months later.
"Mom, knowledge doesn't expire, but does being a child expire?"
Listening to her parents' conversation, little An'an couldn't help but ask a naive and adorable question.
"Yes, adults are like expired children."
Yu Jiu replied without hesitation.
"Wow."
Little An'an's eyes widened in surprise, but it was unclear whether she understood the sentence. She seemed to have just made a casual remark before burying her head in eating her fried meatballs again.
"Fried meatballs are really tempting."
Yu Jiu couldn't help but laugh as she watched An An engrossed in her food. Yu Jiu told her that she had to eat the cucumber first before she could have the fried meatballs. Without any hesitation, An An immediately ate five extra-thick slices of cucumber, just so she could have her beloved fried meatballs.
Someone who truly loves you will feel that anything they do is worthwhile.
"With fried meatballs, she can't even keep up with the sweet and sour pork."
Xu Zijiang teased her, saying that although she had ordered both dishes, little An'an preferred the fried meatballs. She only ate two bites of the sweet and sour pork, saying that she wanted to save her stomach for the fried meatballs. She was afraid that if she ate the other dishes and got full, she wouldn't be able to eat the fried meatballs, since the meatballs Xu Zijiang had made were quite big.
"Never mind her, let's eat too."
Yu Jiu wiped her mouth and then ignored her, telling her to go eat by herself. After they finished eating, they were going to Gouzi and Zhang Yan's house. Tomorrow was their son Gou Dan's first birthday. They had chosen a rather straightforward name for him: Gouzi's son was named Gou Dan.
"Um."
Xu Zi picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork for Yu Jiu, and the two of them slowly filled their stomachs. Then, they washed An An's hands and face, and took her out.
"Little brother Gou Dan, I've come to see you~~~"
As soon as An'an entered the gate, she called out to her little brother Gou Dan in a clear and sweet voice. It was quite funny to hear her call Gou Dan in such a childish voice.
"Ah, sister! Sister!"
Little Dog Egg can say a few simple words. When he saw An An coming over, he immediately pointed at her happily and called her "sister".
"No, it's An'an, but I'll be having younger brothers and sisters soon, so you won't be my only brother anymore."
An'an rubbed Gou Dan's cheeks and said with a grin, "Yu Jiu couldn't stop her, and she just blurted it out."
Zhang Yan looked at her with a teasing gaze.
"You're pregnant? You've finally come to your senses, so you want to have another one?"
Although Gou Dan is only one year old, Zhang Yan is already more than four months pregnant. Since Gou Dan's parents can help take care of the children, she figured it's the same whether she had one or two, so she might as well have them both and raise them together. That way, she'll have an easier time once they're grown up and won't have to have another one.
"I'm not pregnant yet. I plan to have one. An'an is all grown up now, so we can have another one."
Yu Jiu explained helplessly, "I knew I couldn't talk to a child too much, because she'd blurt everything out. It seems we'll have to be careful what we say in front of An'an next time. She used to be too young to talk much, but now she says everything."
“You should have had another child a long time ago. If you were worried about not being able to take care of her, you could have had her when she was two. Now she's three and you have to start all over again. It's so tiring.”
“Our situations are different, as you know. Anyway, it’s not too late to have a baby now, so it doesn’t matter if we are a couple of years short.”
Yu Jiu said nonchalantly, "They're already overwhelmed with just one child, how could they possibly manage two? Even now, if it weren't for the fact that she wanted to have the baby sooner and raise it a bit longer so he'd have more time and energy to focus on the business, she wouldn't actually want to have the baby now, especially since Zhang Yan is also pregnant. Gouzi's mother will definitely prioritize taking care of her, and if she gives birth, she probably won't have time to come help, and they'll have to find someone else."
"That's true. Anyway, you're still young. It's not a big deal to have a child a couple of years later. Sit down, why are you standing? Aren't you tired?"
Zhang Yan moved a stool over, gesturing for Yu Jiu to sit down. Xu Zijiang and Gouzi were chatting outside. Gou Dan was crawling around on the ground, almost reaching the threshold. An An was cheering him on from the side. She didn't know whether she was a good or bad older sister.
"I just finished eating, I'd better stand up for a bit, my belly is bulging."
Yu Jiu touched her lower abdomen and said wistfully, afraid that she would gain weight. She was still very satisfied with her current slender figure. If she got fat, she wouldn't be able to wear any pretty clothes anymore, which would be such a loss.
"Come on, with your figure, you're afraid of gaining weight. Besides, you look better when you're a little chubby. Look at me, I used to be so skinny I was just a skeleton, but now I look so much better after gaining some weight."
Zhang Yan stood up triumphantly and spun around twice. She wasn't just gaining weight because of pregnancy; she was also eating well and in a good mood. As the saying goes, when things are going well, a relaxed mind leads to a plump body. So she started gaining weight and was indeed fuller and more radiant than before, no longer having that sallow complexion.
"It looks good."
Yu Jiu nodded with a smile in agreement. After chatting for a while, she steered the conversation toward Gou Dan.
"Tomorrow is Dog Egg's first birthday, how are you planning to celebrate it?"
When An'an turned one year old, Xu Zijiang and Yu Jiu secretly held a traditional "grasping ceremony" for her in the house, and even boiled red eggs to distribute to close relatives. Although these things couldn't be done openly, it was still acceptable to do them privately.
It's all about having a festive atmosphere, but after they set out so many things, little An'an ended up grabbing a candied hawthorn. She's probably a foodie; all she sees is food.
"How else can we celebrate? It's just his first birthday, not his seventieth birthday. We can just boil an egg for him and let him peel it."
