Chapter 147 I want it!
Hearing this, He Mingcheng was stunned.
Then, he was a little surprised and asked, "Really? Wife, have you finally made up your mind?"
Oh my god, he was so happy that he almost burst into laughter.
How long have you been waiting for this sentence?
He Mingcheng was particularly happy. It wasn't because he was afraid of not having children, but he felt that having a child would make the home more lively.
It’s not necessary for him to go on a business trip, Chen Yi will be too lonely alone.
So, he wanted to have a child, so that they could be companions!
Seeing how happy he was, Chen Yi couldn't help but laugh too.
"Yes, it's true." She nodded heavily.
He Mingcheng was very happy to hear that, "Okay, then I have to work hard today!
Chen Yi couldn't help but blush, "You are such a scoundrel!"
"Hehe..." He Mingcheng smiled and his eyes became ambiguous.
In broad daylight, Chen Yi couldn't resist this man's enthusiasm.
Perhaps because they had not let go for a long time, the two of them drove the train until dark.
Dirty, dirty, dirty...
Chen Yi was really exhausted and fell asleep.
He Mingcheng was quite energetic, but he felt a little tired and exhausted.
If he didn't have to go to work tomorrow, he would probably go even further.
Chen Yi did not get up to eat at night, but both of them woke up at around five o'clock the next morning.
It was still dark outside, and not even daybreak.
The kang was no longer warm, so He Mingcheng got up to heat the kang and the stove, and then came back to hug his wife.
Don’t you need a wife and children to keep you warm in the winter?
Although I don’t have children now, it will be soon. I worked very hard to sow seeds yesterday.
Chen Yi looked at the time and it was six o'clock in the morning. She had to get up soon.
Their working hours are at eight o'clock, which is earlier in the summer because the sun rises later and it is particularly cold in the winter, so they have to take extra care of the working hours.
He Mingcheng stayed with her for a while before getting up to cook.
After dinner, they both went back to work. The holiday would be over in a dozen days, so they would have plenty of time to rest then.
Chen Yi arrived at the office with no strength in her legs. She cursed He Mingcheng in her heart for being young and impetuous and not considering the consequences at all.
But she also knew that others envied her for having such happiness.
When Wu Mei saw her coming, she stopped asking about designing clothes. There had been no news for a month, so she thought she wouldn't design new clothes before the New Year.
"Secretary Chen, what do you think of my sweater?" She put away the needles and took out the sweater to show Chen Yi.
Chen Yi looked at it and nodded, "It's quite beautiful. Is this knitted for the child?"
Wu Mei had previously knitted clothes for adults, but this time it was for children.
This man got married very early, at the age of nineteen, and his child is now five years old.
Wu Mei replied: "Yes, it's too much trouble for a little boy to wear clothes. We can take them apart and weave them again next year."
Who doesn’t mend and sew for three years these days? Every family also has a knitting skill for sweaters. Although wool is not cheap, it can be disassembled and re-knitted.
So, everyone likes sweaters and trousers very much, which are much better than cotton-padded jackets.
A cotton-padded jacket can be taken apart and the cotton can be restitched, but if the fabric is damaged it can only be sewn.
Chen Yi had thought about making sweater designs before, but who doesn't know how to knit sweaters these days? Selling that stuff is just for show.
Even those who are really rich won’t buy it. The ones our family makes casually are better than the ones sold.
The two were chatting casually when Ma Li knocked on the door and walked in, with a thick scarf wrapped around her face.
"Oh my god, I'm freezing!" She started stamping her feet as soon as she entered the door and went towards the stove.
Seeing her funny look, Chen Yi couldn't help but laugh and said, "You're out in such cold weather. Have you missed me after not seeing me for a long time?"
The two of them often joke around, so it’s not a big deal.
Ma Li rolled her eyes. "Who missed you? You didn't even say you were going to see me."
As she spoke, she sat next to him and continued, "I'm serious. Do you have any big roosters left? Buy me two. The New Year is coming soon, and we need to have something for the family."
She had received a big rooster from Chen Yi before and had been keeping it alive.
It was New Year’s Day yesterday, so we had no choice but to kill him.
But more meat is needed during the Chinese New Year, and the supply is not enough for anything.
Hearing this, Chen Yi thought for a moment and said, "It's a bit difficult to have two big roosters."
Upon hearing this, Ma Li was a little disappointed. She thought that one would be fine. After all, it was better than nothing. It could also be a delicious dish during the New Year.
Before she could finish her sentence, Chen Yi continued, "A big rooster and a big goose are still okay."
In fact, she just wanted to take care of Ma Li and sell a goose. Geese are much less available than chickens these days.
Moreover, the big goose is the most delicious in winter, and it is nice to have a big goose.
This time Malik was overjoyed, "Oh, that's great! I want it!"
Big geese are rare and are not available at all now. Not to mention big geese, even ducks are not available this year.
Chen Yi smiled and said, "As long as you feel good about it, I'll tell you if there's news in a couple of days."
They did not hide this matter from Wu Mei. After all, things are not as strict now as before, and everyone needs these things.
It is an unwritten rule that if there is something missing at home and there is no supply, you go to the black market to buy it.
Where there are buyers, there will naturally be sellers, each taking what they need.
Wu Mei felt itchy after hearing this. Although both husband and wife are working, there are three elderly people in her family.
The supply was already insufficient this year, and when she heard about poultry, she wanted to buy some.
But from what Chen Yi said, it seemed that there was no leftovers. After thinking about it, she did not rush to ask.
Ma Li chatted with her for a while and then went back. After all, it was working hours and it was not good to be away from the office for a long time.
Going to work is not like visiting friends and chatting. When you are at work, you have to look like you are at work.
After seeing the person leave, Chen Yi pretended not to notice Wu Mei's eyes and got up to add some coal to the stove.
Come back, sit down, and read the book.
This is a book about sewing. She has been studying making clothes recently and has drawn a lot of designs.
Over time, she has gradually figured out the tricks and is getting better and better at it.
Wu Mei looked at her and suddenly found a topic to talk about.
"Secretary Chen, have you bought any New Year's goods recently?"
Hearing this, Chen Yi raised her head and looked at her, and replied: "It's done. If you don't do it now, you won't be able to grab it in a few days."
There's no way. The supply is insufficient this year. Apart from vegetables, there is really too little meat.
It’s better for dual-income families, but it’s really hard for one person to support an entire family.
I'm afraid we can only eat meat-filled dumplings during the Chinese New Year, and there won't be enough meat if we eat more.
What can one employee do with just two kilograms of pork?
Wu Mei sighed and said, "Alas, I did buy vegetables, but I didn't see much meat. There were six people in my family, so I only got four pounds of pork."
This is also the situation of most families nowadays, and some people are even worse than them.
