Chapter 51 Temporary Workers
I received quite a lot of gifts today.
Gu Cheng counted the things, and Liu Yinyin took a notebook and pencil to register.
These favors will have to be repaid in the future.
Finally, Liu Yinyin made a summary.
All we received were food, with eggs being the most numerous, at 216 in total.
Liu Yinyin murmured, "There's no need to buy eggs now."
I borrowed 220 eggs from home, and that's almost enough to pay them back.
In addition to eggs, there are ten catties of flour, twelve catties of rice, twenty catties of millet, ten catties of soybeans, ten catties of peanuts, and five catties of sesame seeds.
Two pounds of pork, three crucian carps, two packets of red dates, a small packet of brown sugar, and four apples.
Liu Yinyin smiled and said, "Our banquet is well prepared."
This amount of stuff is enough to cover the cost of the wedding banquet.
Gu Cheng packed up his things and sat down beside the bed, saying, "There is something I want to discuss with you."
The tone is quite formal.
Could something big have happened?
Liu Yinyin straightened up and looked at him: "You say."
Gu Cheng told her: "It's the end of the year, the factory is very busy, we don't have enough staff, we need to recruit a group of temporary workers to help."
"...temporary worker?" Liu Yinyin was stunned. After a long pause, she asked him, "Do you mean to introduce someone from your family?"
Otherwise he wouldn't have told her about it.
"Yeah." Gu Cheng nodded.
"Is it okay? It won't affect you, right?" Liu Yinyin remembered that it was not easy to get a temporary job.
Especially for the country people, food is a big problem.
Gu Cheng considered and said, "It's okay. It's no problem to arrange one or two people to go in."
"One or two people..." Liu Yinyin said with a difficult look on her face, "How can I arrange this? I have three brothers, and you also have an older brother. There are too many monks and too little meat. I am afraid of offending people."
After saying that, Liu Yinyin glanced at him with her clear black and white eyes, as if saying: If her brother is allowed to go, will there be trouble at the Gu family?
Gu Cheng swallowed his saliva, and his voice suddenly became a little hoarse: "Let your third brother go."
Liu Yinyin smiled and said, "What about your elder brother?"
Gu Cheng coughed and said, "We'll talk about it later when we have the chance."
Seeing that his ears were a little red, Liu Yinyin suddenly became excited, leaned forward slightly, and whispered in his ear: "You are so nice..."
As soon as she finished speaking, Liu Yinyin was suddenly pushed down on the bed, and the man leaned over her.
When their eyes met, the atmosphere instantly became a little subtle.
Liu Yinyin's heart was pounding and she was blocked when she was about to say something.
As their lips and teeth intertwined, Liu Yinyin's face flushed.
After a long while, the man still didn't stop...
Liu Yinyin pushed him away, closed her eyes and said, "Not yet..."
Gu Cheng froze for a moment, his Adam's apple rolling as he asked, "Why not? Isn't it time to finish the confinement period?"
Liu Yinyin: “…”
Liu Yinyin had long seen that this man was up to no good. She shook her head and said, "Who told you that you can just wait until the month is up? When I was discharged from the hospital, the doctor said that I would have to wait two or three months before I could have sex."
Of course, she said this herself, but she was not lying. A woman's body has not fully recovered after just coming out of confinement.
They are husband and wife, sleeping in the same bed every day, so some things are inevitable.
The two have been together for such a long time, and Liu Yinyin does not reject Gu Cheng, and even has a good impression of him.
Seeing a handsome guy every day but not being able to eat him, she...is also greedy.
But it really doesn't work now.
Gu Cheng was greatly disappointed and said aggrievedly: "Why are you seducing me if I can't?"
Liu Yinyin: “…”
It’s unfair!
"When did I seduce you?"
This man is simply turning the tables.
"You seduce me with your eyes, and..." Gu Cheng glanced down.
Liu Yinyin hit him on the head with a pillow: "You're crazy!"
Gu Cheng took a long time to get up and said, "I'm going out to smoke a cigarette."
After saying that, he fled out of the room.
Liu Yinyin laughed out loud in a very unkind way.
The next morning, when Jiang Cuihua came, Liu Yinyin said to her, "Mom, you don't have to come anymore. There aren't many things to do at home. I can handle it myself."
It’s already the end of the confinement period, and Liu Yinyin feels embarrassed to bother Jiang Cuihua anymore.
Maybe because she took good care of herself during the confinement period, she felt that she had recovered well and was almost in the same condition as before she was pregnant.
When we were having a drink yesterday, several women whispered to Liu Yinyin, saying that she didn't look like someone who had given birth at all.
I rested at home for a month, drinking soup every day.
Liu Yinyin's skin is better than before and she hasn't gained weight. That's the good thing about being young; her body recovers quickly.
Jiang Cuihua had recently gotten into the habit of coming here, and couldn't change it for a while, so she said, "It's nothing, I just came to see my grandson, okay?"
Liu Yinyin climbed up the ladder: "Of course, it would be even better if you could help me take care of the children. I will pay you for it."
Jiang Cuihua's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and she asked, "Why, did Gu Cheng arrange a job for you?"
After all, my son-in-law is a deputy factory manager, so it shouldn't be difficult for him to find a job for my daughter-in-law.
If all else fails, you can just buy one. If the daughter-in-law goes to work, she really won’t have time to take care of the child.
"No, mom, you're overthinking it." To be honest, Liu Yinyin was not very interested in going to work.
Besides, what could she do in a steel factory?
The original owner only had an elementary school education, so it was not suitable for him to work in an office.
Are you going to the workshop to smelt steel?
Moreover, Gu Cheng would probably prefer her to stay at home to take care of the children.
Jiang Cuihua grumbled, "Why do you let me take care of the child when you don't go to work? You can take care of the child yourself."
Liu Yinyin said thoughtfully: "...I always have my own things to do."
She is not very interested in working, but that doesn't mean she doesn't want to make money. Liu Yinyin has a system, so it is not difficult for her to make money.
Anyway, she doesn't want to stay at home and take care of the children every day.
You can't spend money to hire a nanny these days, but you can still ask relatives to help.
But it's too early to talk about this now. After all, the child is too young, and she is worried about leaving him to someone else. She will talk about this matter after some time.
Jiang Cuihua said, "Don't waste your time. I think you should hurry up and have another child with your son-in-law."
Having only one child is definitely too few. If you want to have another child, have it earlier and it will be better to raise both together.
Liu Yinyin: “…”
Having a child was impossible, but Jiang Cuihua's words reminded her.
If you don't want children, you must take safety measures.
I don’t know if there are condoms these days. Well, I’ll have to go to the hospital to ask.
"Oh, right." When talking about work, Liu Yinyin thought of the serious matter that Gu Cheng told her yesterday. "My job is nowhere to be found, but I heard from Gu Cheng yesterday that the factory is now recruiting a group of temporary workers."
"Temporary workers?" Jiang Cuihua's eyes widened when she heard this, and she quickly asked, "Can we country folk go?"
