"Auntie Zhou, I need to find a place to live first and stay in confinement after giving birth. Then you have to take care of me during the confinement period. How much do you think is appropriate?"
"Xiao Wang, most people are not willing to rent a house for you to stay in while you're in confinement," Aunt Zhou said embarrassedly. It's very particular at this time, and it's unlucky to stay in someone else's house while you're in confinement.
"Auntie, I'll give you more money," Wang Yue also knew.
"Okay, I'll go out and find it for you later. I heard from the nurse that it's not easy for a woman like you to take care of a child. I won't ask for much from you. Give me ten yuan, and I'll cook three meals for you, wash the child's clothes, and help you take care of the child during the day. You can take care of the child yourself at night. I have to go home. Do you think this is okay with you?" Aunt Zhou's price was quite low.
"Thank you, Aunt Zhou." Not to mention that it was only ten yuan, even if it was forty yuan, Wang Yue would be satisfied. Aunt Zhou was indeed a good person.
Wang Yue gave Aunt Zhou some money and asked her to help buy the baby's milk powder and bottles first, and then buy some daily necessities such as toilet paper.
The next day, Aunt Zhou rented a house for ten yuan a month, while Wang Yue rented a house for only three yuan. But there was nothing she could do. In her situation, it was lucky that someone was willing to rent the house to her. The family that rented the house for three yuan kicked her out.
Aunt Zhou helped Wang Yue move her clothes and other things to the newly rented house, and then Wang Yue was discharged from the hospital.
The rented house was also a large tenement house, and their house was in the northwest corner of the backyard, which was quite quiet.
Aunt Zhou is a very nice person. She and Wang Yue take good care of the child. The child is also very sensible. Except when he is hungry or wet, he basically sleeps and doesn't make any noise. Wang Yue is not too tired to take care of him at night.
Wang Yue lay on the kang, looking at the little person beside her, thinking about what she should do in the future. Just like the nurse said, she should find a decent father for the child so that he would not be laughed at when he grew up.
The figure of Xingguo appeared in his mind. Only after leaving Xingguo did Wang Yue realize how happy his life had been before.
"He probably won't agree," Wang Yue murmured.
After the confinement period, Wang Yue did not fire Aunt Zhou and asked her to help her take care of the child while she went out to find a job. She did not want to be controlled by her boss forever.
There are many private businesses in the capital now, but not many are hiring, and every family has a few unemployed relatives.
Wang Yue wandered around the commercial streets of Beijing for several days but couldn't find a suitable job. She also saw many people setting up stalls, but she had no source of goods and no skills in cooking, so she couldn't do any of them.
She bought a bun and sat on a bench, eating while thinking about where else she could find a job.
Not far away, two blond-haired, blue-eyed foreigners, a man and a woman, squatted in front of a stall, chattering away. The stall owner looked helpless and waved his hands, "I don't understand, I don't understand, go somewhere else."
Wang Yue had learned a little English when she was in technical secondary school and could understand some of what he said. She approached the foreigner and asked, "Can I help you?"
The two foreigners' eyes lit up. "Beautiful lady, is this an antique?"
Wang Yue thought for a while, as if asking about antiques? Is it an antique?
The stall owner looked at Wang Yue expectantly.
Wang Yue looked at the porcelain on the stall. They couldn’t be called antiques, but they were probably from the Republic of China period. They were well preserved and had beautiful patterns.
“They asked if it was an antique.”
The stall owner… “Yes, tell them it was used by high officials during the Tang Dynasty. It’s very old.”
Wang Yue...
