On his day off, He Tingchuan planned to take Yun Jin out for a trip.
Yun Jin frowned: "Xiao Niangao is still too young. It's windy outside, and it's not safe to take her out. If she catches a cold and gets sick, neither of us can take good care of her. Let's go somewhere else."
"I've already spoken to Sister Li, she'll help take care of it for a while, we'll be right back, we'll be back when Xiao Niangao wakes up." He Tingchuan had already planned it out.
Yun Jin asked curiously, "Is it absolutely necessary to go out today?"
He Tingchuan nodded.
Yun Jin happily handed the child over to Sister Li, and after exchanging a few words, the two immediately left the compound, where Li Aiguo was already waiting in his jeep.
He Tingchuan opened the car door and helped Yun Jin into the car. Yun Jin, who hadn't been out for a long time, found everything new and exciting: "Where are we going?"
"You'll know when you get there." He Tingchuan sat down next to Yun Jin, took her outstretched hand and held it to warm it.
Yun Jin was wearing a sweater knitted by He Tingchuan, with a cotton coat over it. She was afraid of the cold, so she also wore a scarf, leaving only her small face exposed, while her ears and head were covered up.
Even so, I still find it cute.
He Tingchuan tidied the stray hairs by her ears, his eyes filled with doting affection.
Li Aiguo's teeth ached. Why didn't he realize his brother Chuan was so affectionate before?
After having a daughter, the young couple acted like newlyweds.
They've been married for a year already, and they're still so lovey-dovey?
Li Aiguo was puzzled.
The car drove to the People's Department Store. Yun Jin thought they were there to buy daily necessities or something. She remembered that her family seemed to have everything they needed. Since having a child, Yun Jin didn't want to spend money recklessly.
Raising a child is expensive. She doesn't have a job, and He Tingchuan only earns nearly a hundred yuan a month. To be honest, given their extravagant spending habits, it would be good enough if they didn't live paycheck to paycheck.
Now she has to give 15 yuan to Sister Li to help take care of the child. After the child is six months old, Yun Jin plans to take care of the child herself and see what kind of work is suitable for her in this era.
I can't be a full-time mom all the time.
Yun Jin used to be a career-oriented woman, but now she can only rely on He Tingchuan to support her.
This is not the life Yun Jin wants.
It's mainly determined by the overall environment. Jobs are hard to find these days; they're mostly assigned, and there's a fixed quota for each person. She's ambitious, but there's no career she can pursue.
They're still cracking down on speculation and profiteering. If she were in business, she'd be reported without a doubt, and it would even implicate He Tingchuan.
For the sake of you, me, and everyone else, let's just endure this for now!
Yun Jin had made up her mind. When Xiao Niangao grew up a bit and went to kindergarten, it would be the time of reform and opening up. At that time, there would be no children to restrain her, and the overall environment would be better. That would be the time for her to show her talents.
Yun Jin was about to go into the mall when He Tingchuan pulled her back and led her to the first floor of the mall, to the gold shop on the street.
Yun Jin: "???"
"What are we doing here? You want to buy gold?" Yun Jin had a bold idea in her mind. She looked at He Tingchuan again and again. No way, no way, He Tingchuan is going to buy me gold?
"Hmm!" He Tingchuan replied succinctly, leading the other man to the glass display case, where glittering gold jewelry was displayed. They were looking at the gold pieces, though there were silver pieces nearby, which He Tingchuan didn't even glance at.
Under Yun Jin's expectant gaze, she said to the waiter, "Let me see the gold ring."
The saleswoman smiled and brought out the gold rings in the store for them to choose from: "The rings are all here, take a look and see which one you like."
He Tingchuan looked at Yun Jin: "Which one do you like?"
Yun Jin asked curiously, "What's the price of gold today?"
The saleswoman smiled and said, "It's 5.88 yuan per gram."
Yun Jin thought she had misheard: "How much?"
The saleswoman smiled and repeated herself, worried that the girl might not understand the numbers, so she explained in plain language: "Five yuan and eighty-eight cents per gram."
This time, Yun Jin was sure she hadn't misheard: "Only 5.88!!!"
Good heavens, do you know how expensive gold was when she transmigrated here?
The average price on the domestic market is 576, while gold shops, with their brand premiums, are charging 744.
Now tell her it's only 5.88 yuan.
Yun Jin only regrets that she has no job and no money. Otherwise, she would buy a gold bean every month. Not much, just one gram would be enough. In ten or twenty years, wouldn't the gold beans she has saved increase in value?
Thinking of this, Yun Jin wished she could go sweep the streets right now.
Unfortunately, all the street sweeping positions were filled, and there was no place for her.
The saleswoman almost died laughing at Yun Jin's tone: "5.88 is cheap?"
If it weren't for the tall, slender man standing next to her, who made a few sarcastic remarks, this man probably wouldn't have a clear understanding of money and the price of gold.
Two years ago, the price was three or four yuan, but this year it has suddenly risen to 5.88 yuan. Fewer and fewer people are coming to buy gold jewelry, so she is happy to have some peace and quiet. She can try on pretty gold rings and necklaces whenever she wants, and no one bothers her.
"It's so expensive!" Yun Jin was afraid of revealing her identity. After all, she was a country girl from the countryside with little experience. If she thought it was cheap, wouldn't people misunderstand?
Yun Jin glanced at He Tingchuan and saw his gentle and doting gaze. He seemed oblivious to her distress. Yun Jin secretly breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at He Tingchuan: "Are you going to buy me a ring?"
He Tingchuan nodded: "We'll be celebrating our first anniversary soon, so I should buy you something to make up for what we didn't get for our wedding. Just choose whichever one you like, don't worry about the price of gold."
Such generous words almost made Yun Jin hug him and kiss him in gratitude.
Fortunately, she knew to be mindful of the occasion. Her face beamed with joy, but she didn't complain about He Tingchuan at all: "I definitely didn't marry the wrong person. My man is so magnanimous!"
