Yun Jin brought San Jin home, but before she even got upstairs, she heard Xiao Niangao's pitiful cries. He Tingchuan was heartbroken and immediately abandoned Yun Jin, running home as fast as he could.
Yun Jin: "......"
After irritating He Tingchuan for a second, Yun Jin quickly caught up, and the two were only three or four steps behind. He Tingchuan was holding the pitiful little Nian Gao who was crying loudly. Before he could comfort her, Yun Jin took her away: "Good baby, good Nian Gao, Mommy is back. Don't cry, don't cry. Let's go back and drink milk!"
She didn't forget to glare at He Tingchuan mockingly: "So what if you run fast? Do you have milk?"
He Tingchuan was heartbroken.
Sister-in-law Li suppressed a laugh as she watched He Tingchuan's discomfiture. When she saw him looking over, she immediately became honest and said, "I'm relieved that you're back. This child cries whenever he's hungry, and I was just thinking of borrowing some milk from another family!"
After saying that, seeing that nothing was wrong, he said goodbye and went home.
I can finally go home. It wasn't easy to get that 15 yuan.
The thought that she could get an extra 15 yuan to buy some meat for the children made Li's wife feel it was worth it.
He Tingchuan put away the things he bought, placed the invoices in a drawer box, washed his hands, and prepared to cook.
Originally, Liu Sanchen said he was inviting them to dinner, but the couple thought that their daughter was at home and they couldn't let her go hungry, so they declined the invitation. The couple rushed back, but Xiao Niangao still went hungry.
While Yun Jin was feeding Xiao Niangao, she couldn't help but admire the bracelet on her hand. Gold is so beautiful!
Looking at the little rice cake that looked exactly like He Tingchuan, Yun Jin felt a warm glow in her heart: "My dear, your father is so good to you. When you grow up, you must be filial to your father, okay?"
Little Rice Cake seemed to understand, and stared at her with wide eyes.
Yun Jin was completely charmed. When He Tingchuan cooked a pot of tomato and egg noodles and brought it to her, Yun Jin told He Tingchuan about it, and a smile visibly bloomed on He Tingchuan's face.
"Look how happy you are. Just you wait and see, daughters are not easy to raise; they have to be pampered," Yun Jin reminded her.
He Tingchuan's lips curled up: "My daughter must be spoiled."
"Where is your wife?" Yun Jin asked deliberately.
He Tingchuan gave her a deep look: "I'll spoil you just the same."
"Then we have to decide on a king and a queen, right?" Yun Jin deliberately made things difficult.
He Tingchuan held Xiao Niangao gently, saying, "You're a little smaller, let your mother have her, you can be the little king."
Yun Jin grinned: "That's more like it."
He Tingchuan looked at Yun Jin, who was beaming with joy, and told her to hurry up and eat her noodles, because they wouldn't taste good if they got soggy.
Yun Jin nodded, eating her tomato and egg noodles, watching He Tingchuan sitting opposite her, holding Xiao Nian Gao in his arms, taking a bite of noodles and teasing his daughter. With him at home, Yun Jin didn't even need to hold her child.
He Tingchuan hugged her in various ways, so she didn't need to wipe his hands at all.
That's not all; they also give Xiao Nian Gao a "plane hug," pat his back, and rub his tummy to help him pass gas.
She was so outstanding that Yun Jin felt inferior to her.
Each time, she would watch them tenderly from the sidelines, witnessing their deep father-daughter bond.
Little Rice Cake also loves her father. She's always cheerful, and her smile is a bit like Yun Jin's. He Tingchuan likes to make her laugh.
It was Sister Li who spread the word that Yun Jin had bought the three gold pieces.
Seeing Yun Jin's gold bracelet, she was filled with envy. When she asked, she found out it was a replacement for three pieces of gold jewelry. Li's sister-in-law was extremely jealous and said she wanted to get one replaced too. She then asked about the price of gold, which was 5.88 yuan.
She could have bought seven or eight pounds of pork belly, but it broke Li's heart.
"It's so expensive, and you bought so much. It must have cost several hundred yuan!" Sister Li said with heartache, as if she had spent her own money.
Yun Jin, having gotten a good deal, still acted innocent: "It's not much, just three months' salary. If Nian Gao's dad is willing to spend this money, I can't very well refuse."
Sister-in-law Li said enviously, "You're probably the luckiest person in the compound."
“That’s what I think too.” Yun Jin smiled happily.
Suddenly, Sister Li felt that the sunflower seeds in her hand no longer smelled good.
When He Tingchuan returned, Sister-in-law Li couldn't help but take another look. No matter what, they were both men, but the one at home didn't know how to cherish his wife so much. He even gave her three gold pieces after she gave birth to a daughter.
She had two sons, but she never saw a gold ring.
Growing angrier by the thought, Sister-in-law Li returned home and demanded the gold ring back from her husband. Commander Li replied, "Isn't the money in your hands? If you want to buy something, can't you buy it yourself?"
"Besides, what time is it now? How can you have the nerve to ask for gold jewelry? How many people can't even afford to eat?"
Sister-in-law Li wouldn't listen to this nonsense: "Others are others, but you've been to the battlefield, shed blood, and been shot. Now your wife can't even buy gold with the money she saved up?"
"Why can Commander He have one?" Sister Li said aggrievedly. "Can't you be a little nicer to me? I don't want the stars in the sky. All I want is for you to buy me a ring on my birthday."
Seeing his wife's tearful grievances, Commander Li angrily slammed the door and left.
Does it have to be me who buys it?
I'm not buying it!
The family compound is densely populated and not soundproof.
Even a fart from someone's house can be heard by the neighbors. When Sister Li and Commander Li were crying and making a scene, it was impossible for anyone in the neighborhood not to hear them.
The next day, someone asked Yun Jin, "I heard that Commander He bought you three gold items. How come they're all from the same commander? How can your family spend so much money?"
Yun Jin laughed and retorted, "That depends on how you spend your money. Your family alone has seven or eight mouths to feed, while my family of three eats much less."
“My daughter, Xiao Niangao, is less than two months old. She doesn’t need to pay for breast milk. Your family has several children who need to go to school, so you have to pay tuition fees and eat a few cents worth of food every day, right?” Yun Jin said with a smile, “My daughter drinks breast milk.”
“Your family needs to send money to your husband’s family to support your parents, but Commander He doesn’t. His salary is just for the three of us. Plus, I know how to spend money, and Commander He is good to me and is willing to buy me the three gold pieces. That’s why you think our family can afford to spend money.”
