The two were chatting when they saw Lu Jiangyuan coming back.
He came in carrying something and greeted them when he saw them.
Hu Xiaoman asked, "Brother, how is your unit doing? Is there anything going on?"
Lu Jiangyuan works in a government agency as a small section chief, but he has real power.
Generally speaking, this position is very powerful and whatever you say here counts.
Hearing this, Lu Jiangyuan nodded, but said nothing. Because some things are inconvenient to talk about, it is better not to say them, so as not to frighten the families.
Seeing that he was unwilling to say more, Hu Xiaoman did not continue to ask. Some things are better not to ask.
The meal was ready quickly. It was almost six o'clock and Lu Jianghe came back.
"Are you all waiting for me?" As soon as he entered the room, he saw food on the table, but no one was served yet. He thought they were waiting for him.
"Come on!" Hu Xiaoman rolled his eyes and said, "Who's waiting for you? You're the leader."
The two people were talking and laughing, and everyone around them was laughing too.
Everyone sat down to eat. Lu Jiangyuan's son Lu Yusheng was a quiet child. After coming out of the study and calling everyone one by one, he sat down and ate quietly.
This child has been an outstanding student since childhood and always ranks first in exams.
At such a young age, he is so meticulous and looks like a little adult.
Hu Xiaoman glanced at him. The two of them happened to be sitting next to each other. She asked, "Yusheng, is there anything you want? I'll buy it for you."
The final exams just ended recently and summer vacation has begun. I heard from Lin Lihua that she got the first place in the grade again.
Hearing this, Lu Yusheng put down his chopsticks, looked at her and said, "Aunt, I want this study book."
He knew that Hu Xiaoman was a college graduate from Beijing; he had heard his parents mention him before.
My aunt and uncle are both very good at studying, so they can become directors and doctors now.
Hu Xiaoman was a little surprised when he heard about the books he needed to study. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Studying also requires a balance between work and rest. Why do schools have summer and winter vacations? Why don't they go to school every day?"
"You will never be able to learn enough knowledge, so you need to study for a while now and rest when it's time to rest."
How old is the child? He hasn’t even graduated from elementary school, but he studies every day. How much pressure is there?
Lu Yusheng didn’t understand. Isn’t it a good thing that he wants to study?
He turned around and looked at Lin Lihua. Seeing that she was smiling, he didn't understand what she meant.
Hu Xiaoman continued, "How about this, I'll find you an extracurricular book when I have time. It will enrich your knowledge. You don't have to study hard."
"But I mean it, you can't fall behind in your studies."
After hearing her words, Lu Yusheng nodded, "Okay, little aunt."
He continued to eat with his chopsticks, thinking about what Hu Xiaoman had just said to him.
This child is very polite. When someone talks to him while he is eating, he puts down his chopsticks and listens carefully.
This gives others a feeling of respect. It seems that Lu Jiangyuan and his wife are very experienced in educating children.
Hu Xiaoman thought about it, turned to look at Lin Lihua, and said, "Sister-in-law, you don't mind me giving the children extracurricular books, right?"
After all, who knows if this will delay the child's studies? If it does, blaming yourself would be a big loss.
Hearing this, Lin Lihua smiled. "What are you talking about? We just couldn't find any extracurricular books for him. If you can find one, it would be even better. We would like to thank you."
Seeing that she was really serious, Hu Xiaoman felt relieved. As long as they didn't object, it would be fine.
Everyone continued to eat, talking and laughing, looking quite happy.
After dinner, Hu Xiaoman and Lu Jianghe walked back, which was a good time to digest the food. They had eaten too much at night and needed to digest it. If they went back to sleep, they would have indigestion.
"Xiao Man." Lu Jianghe looked at her and said, "What will happen to our child in the future? You still have to go to work after giving birth."
He was actually quite conflicted. Asking Hu Xiaoman to give up her job to educate the child was too selfish.
He can't let it go either, as his work is just getting started.
So, let’s not talk about this problem now. The baby will be born in a few months, and we will have to face it sooner or later.
Upon hearing this, Hu Xiaoman fell silent. This was indeed a difficult problem.
Do I really have to give up my job?
She doesn't want to.
Becoming a housewife is a woman's greatest sorrow.
Of course, she is not denying everyone, because some people like to be full-time mothers and are very happy.
But Hu Xiaoman is different. She likes to work and likes to explore the world.
But unlike her previous life, she has a family and children in this life.
The feeling is different, and the responsibility is different.
In the past, one person’s food would feed the whole family. Now, we have to consider the company of our children and the care of our loved ones.
When she thought about this, she also felt a little headache.
The two of them didn't speak all the way and returned home in silence.
Before going to bed, Lu Jianghe said, "Why not bring my mother over and let her take care of the child."
There was no other way. Both of them had no time, so they could only target Shen Yulan.
After hearing what he said, Hu Xiaoman thought about it and felt that it was not feasible. "Look, my sister-in-law is about to give birth, in just over two months. By the time she is out of confinement, I will be ready too."
"My mom has to take care of my sister-in-law and me at the same time, it's so tiring.
Besides, I was taking care of my sister-in-law before, so if I really bring my mother over, I’m afraid my sister-in-law will have objections.”
Lu Jianghe stopped talking. Their family was not qualified to look for a nanny now.
Neither of them mentioned the matter again, and each went to bed with his own thoughts.
The next morning, Hu Xiaoman returned to work and saw Director Jin sitting in her office.
It seems that he had arrived a long time ago, but was sitting there in a daze, not even noticing who came in.
Hu Xiaoman looked at him doubtfully, "Director Jin, what are you thinking about? You are so obsessed."
Hearing this, Director Jin came back to his senses. He saw the person coming and smiled and said, "Nothing, you're here so early."
He stood up and walked out, then sat on the sofa.
"Director Jin, what's wrong with you? What happened?" Hu Xiaoman saw that he looked worried and knew there was something wrong.
Hearing her ask this, Director Jin couldn't help but sigh deeply, "Ah..."
"Yesterday I went to see Director Liang, and he said we should disband. I kept thinking about it and couldn't sleep yesterday."
He is in his forties and usually can't sleep because he thinks too much. How can he recover as quickly as a young man?
I didn't sleep much that night, and I looked much more haggard when I woke up in the morning.
Hu Xiaoman had anticipated this outcome. She said, "Didn't I tell you before? Why are you still so stubborn?"
"There's no way we can disband. This is the current situation. Besides, the factory won't fire us, so why are you worried?"
She really couldn't understand what there was to worry about.
