Chapter 105 Picking up the children
Lin Qin did not dare to be careless. Even though she felt that Chen Wenjun and Lin Yi would be very tired, she could only agree temporarily.
When the couple arrived at the Municipal Experimental Primary School, they discovered that someone had secretly set up a stall near the school gate, selling snacks and small toys that children liked. They looked quite fresh. There were items that cost two cents, five cents, and the most expensive one was no more than ten cents.
Almost all the children in the Municipal Experimental Primary School come from families with two working parents, so they can really afford it.
Lin Qin took a leisurely look at it, and then he felt itchy and bought some snacks and toys for one dollar.
Not only did Chen Wenjun not stop it, but he continued to help pick.
After buying snacks and toys, the couple found some desserts in the box and bought another bag.
By the time the two men walked out of the alley, the bicycle was already full of things.
He was just discovered by Lin Yi who was walking over to pick up his child.
Lin Yi rushed forward to stop them without thinking, "What's wrong with you? What did the doctor say?"
Chen Wenjun glanced at the passers-by and said with great effort, "Dad, the doctor said that Aqin is pregnant. She is either sick or tired. She needs to be taken care of and not overworked. I am planning to go back and discuss the next steps with you!"
Lin Yi was overjoyed, "This is good news! Oh my, I feel much more at ease now. I will take the children back later, you guys go on your bikes first."
Chen Wenjun agreed readily, "That's fine too. I'll send Ah Qin home first, and then I'll ride my tricycle to find you later."
Lin Yi waved his hand, "We can just walk. Don't you still need to go to Nangang to get the goods? We can't let Weimin wait anxiously."
Chen Wenjun had no choice but to agree.
When the couple returned to Nanyu, Huang Yuezhen also knew that Lin Qin was pregnant and was happy for her. When she learned that she would be needed to help pick up and drop off the child later, Huang Yuezhen agreed without hesitation.
About half an hour after Chen Wenjun left, Lin Yi and his two children just arrived home.
When the two kids saw Lin Qin, they immediately ran towards her and asked questions chatteringly.
"Mom, grandpa said you are pregnant with a brother or sister, is that true?" Yaya was very excited and looking forward to it.
Ping An also has starry eyes.
It seems that the two children will not reject the baby in her belly.
Lin Qin nodded happily and took out the snacks and toys she had just bought, including bubble gum, popping candy, fruit leather, sour plum powder, rice crust, marshmallows, etc., as well as small windmills, curling sticks and other gadgets.
When the two children saw these things, they immediately forgot about their younger siblings and started sharing the snacks first, and then the toys.
Lin Qin asked calmly, "Are there many students in your school who buy these things?"
The two kids nodded in unison.
Ping An stuffed a bubble gum in his mouth and spoke unclearly, "Older brothers and sisters often buy it for us, and we first-year students almost have no money, so we can only ask our parents to buy it for us.
Grandpa bought it for us twice. This bubble gum is delicious. "
Lin Yi laughed, "They're happy to eat some occasionally, but I don't buy it often!"
Lin Qin said nothing.
Lin Yi immediately changed the subject and said, "I'll steam a fish for you tonight! People say that eating more fish is good for pregnancy! Wenjun will come back later to see if there is any good seafood to cook tomorrow. It's a pity that the weather is hot now and food can't be kept. It would be great if there was a refrigerator at home."
When Lin Qin heard this, she also became interested. "Dad, when Wenjun comes back, ask him to ask Boss Zheng. Boss Zheng has many connections, maybe he knows where it's for sale."
Lin Yi took this matter to heart.
That night, Chen Wenjun was busy until eleven or twelve o'clock before he came back, and Lin Qin had no chance to tell him about this matter at all.
Early the next morning, Chen Wenjun took Lin Yi to Nangang.
On the way, Lin Yi talked about buying a refrigerator.
Chen Wenjun nodded, "Dad, I would have bought it even if you didn't tell me. Let's go to the newly opened department store in a few days."
Lin Yi frowned, "I heard that the things in the department store are not cheap."
Chen Wenjun was happy. "Dad, how expensive can it be? Ah Qin needs to eat something good after she gets pregnant. It's more convenient to store miscellaneous things in a refrigerator. It can also freeze popsicles. We are in Nanyu, and it's not easy to buy popsicles."
These words really touched Lin Yi's heart.
I used to live in Shanglin Village. Every summer there would be popsicle sellers carrying foam insulation boxes to sell them. One popsicle cost five cents and was very thirst-quenching. Although he lived frugally, he would still eat one or two popsicles every summer. I didn’t eat one last year and I really missed it.
So, Lin Yi clapped his hands and gritted his teeth and said, "Buy it!"
Before the two men reached Nangang, and before daybreak, a five-sailed ship came quickly towards them with lights on.
Chen Wenjun recognized it as his five-sailed boat at a glance, and his eyes widened instantly.
Gao Lei, who was standing on the deck, also recognized Chen Wenjun's iron boat and hurriedly asked people to slow down.
The two ships gradually approached each other.
After Gao Lei saw Chen Wenjun clearly, he was overjoyed, "Brother Wenjun! Where are you going at this time? And you brought your uncle with you!"
Chen Wenjun was honest and replied loudly, "Let's go to Nangang to buy seafood. The fishing boat will arrive at the dock at five o'clock. If you are late, you will miss it."
Gao Lei nodded in understanding, "When are you free? I'll go make tea for you!"
"About two to three in the afternoon! I have to go out to work after three." Chen Wenjun thought about it carefully and found that he only had this little free time.
Gao Lei felt tired for him after hearing this. "Okay! I'll go over this afternoon!"
The two said a few words and then parted ways.
Lin Yi asked: "Why is he on Nanxi at this time?"
Chen Wenjun seemed to be thinking about something, but he did not answer. Instead, he shook his head and said, "I don't know. Maybe he just came back from the sea. Dad, we have to hurry."
As expected, Lin Yi stopped worrying about Gao Lei's matter.
The two of them were busy for the whole morning and didn't get home until almost eleven o'clock.
Chen Wenjun had to hurry to pick up his two children.
When the two children came back from school, Lin Qin had already prepared lunch.
A pot of fragrant taro and diced pork with salty rice, a plate of small yellow croaker in soy sauce, and a big pot of crucian carp and tofu soup made the two children jump for joy.
Yaya even said exaggeratedly: "The food my mother cooked is so delicious. I can eat two big bowls."
Ping An, "I eat three big bowls!"
Lin Yiqi laughed, "What's the matter? Grandpa's cooking is not delicious?"
Yaya nodded seriously, "Grandpa's cooking is not as delicious as mom's."
Lin Yi glanced at the food on the table and nodded, "Of course, your mother's oil on this table is enough for me to use for five days, how can it not be delicious!"
Lin Qin laughed and shook her head, "Dad! This is just the beginning! You have planted a lot of peanuts, and you can make some peanut oil later. We also have pigs at home. We don't lack oil. Why are you so stingy?"
Lin Yi was so anxious that he stared blankly, "You said it so lightly! We have just had a good life this year, who knows how long it will last? How can you spend money so freely? You are used to a good life, and if you are asked to live a tight life again, can you bear it?"
Lin Qin didn't want to argue, he just kept nodding and continued with what he had to do.
