Jiang He lowered his head and thought for a moment before he objected. "So what kind of people are you looking for?"
Yang Xiaobei, "Find someone with experience taking care of children, who's a good person and keeps a tight lid. If we can find someone who comes during the day and leaves at night, that would be even better. That way, no one will gossip, and Shushu and I can help out at night. If not, we'll have to let her live in the living room, and we'll say she's a distant relative who's come to live with us. That person's job will be to take care of the children and cook three meals a day. Mom and dad, you just need to lend a hand. We'll pay 25 yuan a month and cover her three meals a day."
"Okay, I'll keep an eye out. We have many relatives in the city. We can come during the day and go back at night. But I don't know if they are free. We have to go back and ask. This person's character is very important. We can't rush this matter." This is of great importance. We must look for it carefully. If we find a bad person, it may affect Shushu and Xiaobei's work.
"Thank you for your hard work, Mom and Dad."
"It's all for Shushu. It's the right thing to do. As a family, we should help each other."
.....
After finishing the important things, the family ate and chatted. Jiang Shushu and Yang Xiaobei talked about their children and work, while Jiang He and his wife talked about interesting things in the village and the preparations they had made for Jiang Shushu. All four of them were full of expectations for the new life and for the future life.
By the end of November, Jiang Shushu's belly had bulged high as if blown by the wind.
Li Li also came to the state-owned restaurant to work a formal trial for a day. Because Jiang Shushu had explained the temperament and work flow of the people in the restaurant to Li Lixiang in detail, Li Li got started quickly. After just half a day, she knew everything and didn't need Jiang Shushu's guidance.
At noon, the manager paid for a braised pork dish out of his own pocket as a farewell for Jiang Shushu.
"Xiao Jiang is going back home to give birth to her baby. Today's meal is a farewell dinner. Xiao Jiang, I wish you good food, good drink, and good sleep when you return home, and may you give birth to a healthy and beautiful baby next year."
"Thank you, manager, thank you everyone, thank you for taking care of me. You are like my family. I also wish you good health and a happy smile." I feel reluctant to leave so suddenly.
Zheng Juanjuan smiled, "Shushu, to be honest, if I hadn't seen your belly suddenly bulge, I would have always forgotten you were pregnant. You don't have any adverse symptoms of pregnancy at all, you are full of energy every day, and your physical fitness is excellent. Suddenly it's time for you to take care of the baby, and I really can't adapt to it all of a sudden. It's no wonder I can't bear to leave you. Have a good birth, we will wait for you to come together."
Others: "..." Now that you mention it, it's true. She is indeed the least worrying pregnant woman. If it weren't for her bulging belly, no one would even think that she is pregnant.
As soon as Zheng Juanjuan finished speaking, others offered their blessings.
Li Li sent Jiang Shushu to the door and said, "Sister-in-law Li, there's no need to see me off. I'm leaving now. Work hard. If you have any questions about your work, you can ask Sister Xiaoni. She will tell you. If you have any major problems, you can come to me."
"Okay, Shushu, don't worry. I'll work hard and won't embarrass you." 20 yuan a month, food included. Based on the attention Shushu's husband and her parents give me, I can work for at least half a year, and I can earn 120 yuan in half a year. If I worked in the fields, I'd have to work for two years to earn 120 yuan. If I didn't work hard for this kind of pie-in-the-sky job, I'd be stupid. I'll work myself to death as long as I can.
"Okay, then I'm leaving." Come back every month when you get your paycheck.
From that day on, Jiang Shushu began to take care of her pregnancy. Every day she would walk around, play there, and prepare plenty of snacks for herself, occasionally preparing things for the two babies. When she got tired of living in the city, she would follow Jiang He and his wife back to the village to live... Jiang Shushu had money, tickets, and supplies, and her life was very comfortable.
My only regret is gaining weight. Because I eat well and don’t dare to do extensive exercise, even if I walk for two hours every day, I still gain about two kilograms every month.
Jiang Shushu's due date soon arrived. For safety reasons, Yang Xiaobei helped Jiang Shushu to complete the hospitalization procedures two days in advance.
As soon as Yang Xiaobei completed the hospitalization procedures, he turned back to the bureau to apply for leave, and took all the monthly and annual leave he had saved since he knew Jiang Shushu was pregnant, a full 24 days.
Liu Jun looked at Yang Xiaobei's application report and read the 800 words in the reason column over and over again, because the 800 words were full of deep affection and touching, showing his love for his wife and son, both big and small loves.
Seeing Liu Jun staring at his application report motionlessly, Yang Xiaobei felt a little puzzled: What's wrong with Director Liu? Why hasn't he signed yet? It's just a few words, does it take so long to read? I saved my vacation time to save my wife for her confinement after childbirth. Didn't Director Liu know about this all along? Is there something wrong with my formatting? Or did I make a typo? But I checked it twice. Could he have missed something?
"Director Liu, is there something wrong with my report?" Why don't you say something? Why are you staring at my report for so long? It makes me a little nervous. If I am wrong, I will correct it immediately!
Liu Jun finally raised his head. "No, your report is fine, Xiaobei. Why didn't I realize you had such good writing skills before? Look at how well you used language. I couldn't help but read it twice. It's quite good! It seems I underestimated you."
Yang Xiaobei started to flatter right away, "Haha, Director Liu, you are too kind. Compared to you, Director Liu, I am nothing. Director Liu, you are so eloquent and you are my role model. My ability is far behind yours. I still have a lot to learn and I have to work harder." Director Liu, since I am trying so hard to flatter you, please sign your name.
"Not only is he talented in writing, but he's also a great talker. What a great talent! Work hard."
Yang Xiaobei followed suit and immediately expressed his loyalty. "Of course I must. Director Liu, you are my leader. With such an outstanding leader like you, I can't be too incompetent. Otherwise, how can I keep up with you? I can't let you do anything that holds me back."
Liu Jun was so flattered that he felt refreshed. He waved his hand and signed his name.
"Take good care of your wife. Women risk their lives to give birth to our children, and we should understand how difficult it is for them. Plus, the nature of our work is dangerous. To put it bluntly, something might happen at any time, and the lives of the wives and children left behind will be even more difficult. Your wife deserves our respect and love. A real man should be worthy of his country, as well as his wife, children, and parents." Otherwise, you won't go far.
"Thank you Director Liu for your guidance, I understand everything." I can do it too.
