This National Day holiday, He Tingchuan stayed home to recover from his injury. Yun Jin and Xiao Niangao accompanied him, and they ate and drank at home without going out to play.
After he recovered from his injuries, his mission allowance came in, and it was quite a lot. He Tingchuan took advantage of his vacation to take his wife and daughter to the city to buy things, and he even took Yun Jin to a jewelry store.
"See if there's anything you like, pick one." He Tingchuan held Xiao Niangao and promised, "Whatever Niangao likes, Daddy will buy it."
Little Niangao, despite her young age, loves gold. Pointing to an adorable Pixiu, she exclaimed, "Daddy, bean bun!"
Yun Jinku was both amused and exasperated, unsure whether to complain or sigh, as Doubao was no match for Pixiu.
Even steamed buns don't look like this!
Little Niangao liked it, so He Tingchuan asked the shop assistant to take it out and put a red string around Little Niangao's neck so it wouldn't fall off easily.
If you wear it on your hand, it's easy for it to fall off because your hands are small.
As for Yun Jin, she didn't stand on ceremony with He Tingchuan either, and chose a bracelet with lotus pods and lotus flowers. It was a classic and timeless design that many people in later generations liked, and Yun Jin liked it too, so she bought it!
They bought gold and almost spent all their allowance.
Yun Jin treated everyone to a meal at a state-run restaurant, inviting Liu Sanchen and his wife to join them. They were both at work, and the five of them ate at the state-run restaurant together.
Liu Sanchen hadn't seen He Tingchuan for several months, so he knew he must be on a mission.
They also asked about Li Aiguo: "I haven't seen him recently."
"He's lying at home, and it'll probably take another month to recover. You should go see him when you have time; he's probably bored being home alone," He Tingchuan said.
Liu Sanchen nodded.
The next day, Liu Sanchen brought fruit and malted milk powder to Li Aiguo's house. Li Aiguo was doing well at home, and his allowance had been paid. His family was happy and seemed quite harmonious.
Knowing that Liu Sanchen was in charge of a shopping mall, Li's mother shamelessly called Li Aimei over: "You and Aiguo used to be comrades-in-arms, and you call him brother, so Aimei is your sister. This child is just staying at home anyway, so why don't you arrange a temporary job for her?"
Liu Sanchen was in a dilemma, as jobs were in high demand these days.
Let alone permanent employees, even temporary workers are all assigned specific positions.
Li Aiguo didn't expect his mother to have such a plan, and his face immediately darkened: "Mom, don't make things difficult for the third son. Besides, Aimei is still young, and I need someone to take care of me. Can't you let her stay at home to take care of me?"
"Don't you have me to take care of you?" Li's mother said angrily. "If she weren't unemployed, she wouldn't be rejected when I introduced her to potential partners. People want to find someone with a job, but your sister has nothing."
Li Aimei, who was reading at home, was disliked by her own mother. Without saying a word, she quietly left with a book, not wanting to hear those suffocating words.
Seeing that the mother and son were about to argue, Liu Sanchen said, "I remember my sister-in-law isn't a nurse, so let Aimei learn a little from her..."
Mrs. Li sighed, "This won't work. My daughter-in-law is pregnant and has to go to work. She simply doesn't have time to teach her. We'll have to see if you can help out."
Not wanting to put his brother in a difficult position, Li Aiguo spoke up: "Mom, stop talking. I know what's going on with Aimei, so don't worry about it."
Liu Sanchen wanted to help, but unfortunately he couldn't now. It would have been fine before, but ever since his cousin got into trouble, he's been under close surveillance, for fear of a repeat of the same mistake.
As he was leaving, Liu Sanchen said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I can't be of much help with this. If there are any seats available, I'll have Aimei go there immediately."
"Thank you, it's good that you have the thought." Li Aiguo didn't mind, knowing how difficult it was to arrange work these days.
Why do so many people go to the countryside every year? It's because there aren't enough jobs in the city, and young people are constantly being sent to develop the countryside.
If it weren't for her reluctance to let her younger sister suffer in the countryside, Li Aimei would have gone to the countryside too.
When Yun Jin was taking her child for a walk, she saw Li Aimei sitting in the corner wiping away tears. She took Xiao Niangao over and asked, "What's wrong? Who bullied you?"
Li Aimei, who was already feeling a bit wronged, couldn't help but burst into tears when she heard Yun Jin's voice: "Sister-in-law, do you think it would be better for me to get married sooner?"
"What are you saying? You have someone you like?" Yun Jin comforted the lost girl.
“My mom looks down on me and wants me to get married early. She doesn’t like the less desirable men, and she dislikes the better ones because I don’t have a job. I feel so useless.” Li Aimei’s eyes were red.
Little Niangao took a handkerchief to wipe away her tears and even took out the candy she was reluctant to eat to comfort her: "Auntie, don't cry, I'll give you candy."
Li Aimei felt even more wronged after being coaxed, and hugged Xiao Niangao, crying loudly: "Thank you, Niangao, I want to have a daughter as cute as you in the future."
Yun Jin: "......"
Wanting to have a daughter when nothing's even started yet?
"A good cry will do the trick. Life goes on, and things might turn around in a while!" Yun Jin knew that a meeting was about to start and a notice would be issued.
When the announcement of the resumption of the college entrance examination comes out, countless people will inevitably be excited and see hope.
Many educated youth saw hope in returning to the city.
Many lost people have found their purpose in life.
Of course, Yun Jin could also prepare herself, ride the wave of the times, and start to make her mark, instead of living in a cramped apartment in the family compound, playing with her kids and walking her dog, wasting her time.
Yun Jin also wants to find her own goals in the world she transmigrates into.
“What other twists and turns could there be? Surely the college entrance exam won’t be reinstated!” Li Aimei cried. “If the college entrance exam could be reinstated and I could get into university, I want to be a doctor.”
Yun Jin: "Sure, I can be a doctor and save lives."
“I don’t have such lofty ideals. I just want to know how to treat my brother when he is unwell or injured, instead of just watching and being unable to do anything.” Li Aimei knows that she can live in the family compound thanks to her brother.
