In He Yuzhu's room, the family sat together to eat. Wang Gang helped He Yuzhu sit down and made He Yuzhu roll his eyes.
"Brother-in-law, do you need to serve my sister like your ancestors?"
As soon as He Yuyu sat down, he gave his brother a roll of his eyes: "My husband cares about me, can you take care of it?"
He Yuzhu smiled and said: "Sure enough, it was the married daughter who threw the water. You are now a member of the Wang family, not my daughter of the He family."
Ran Qiuye patted her husband's arm and said, "Don't make fun of them. It's not easy to have a child. It's normal to be nervous. When I'm thinking about Sisi, aren't you even more nervous?"
When He Sisi heard her mother calling her name, she couldn't help but raise her little head curiously and asked: "Mom, does aunt have a child?"
He Yuyu hugged He Sisi on his lap and said happily: "Sisi, in the future you will have a younger brother or younger sister to play with you, won't you be happy?"
He Sisi tilted her little head and said, "Isn't mom going to give me a younger brother?"
He Yuzhu smiled and scolded: "What do you mean giving birth to a brother for you? Your mother is giving birth to a son for my old He family."
Ran Qiuye said angrily: "What if this baby is a daughter again, don't you want it anymore?"
He Yuzhu hurriedly said: "No way! I like both sons and daughters. Now that I have a daughter, I just want to have both children!"
Ran Qiuye touched his belly with a happy face.
Since marrying He Yuzhu, she has never had a hard day. Her husband loves her, her daughter is cute, her aunt helps take care of the children, her sister-in-law and her husband are reasonable, and the two families are like one family.
Ran Qiuye is a contented person and feels that her current life could not be better.
"Mom, I don't want a brother, I want a sister. Can you just have a sister?" He Sisi said innocently.
"Sisi, why don't you like your brother?" He Yuyu asked curiously.
"My younger brother is smelly, but my little sister is sweet-smelling." He Sisi said innocently.
He Yuzhu laughed and said: "My dear daughter, when you grow up, you will like the smell of boys."
Ran Qiuye rolled her eyes at her husband: "What nonsense are you talking about! The child is so young."
He Yuzhu said indifferently: "Don't you like the masculinity in me?"
Ran Qiuye hit He Yuzhu and said angrily: "I'm going to die! What nonsense are you talking about in front of the child?"
Everyone laughed, but they didn't mean to laugh at He Yuzhu and Ran Qiuye.
After joking for a while, He Yuzhu got serious.
"Yu Yu, have you saved enough money for milk powder? Raising a child costs money."
"Don't worry! Your brother-in-law's monthly income is higher than yours, and he can raise as many children as you want."
Wang Gang smiled, indeed he was not worried about money.
As a driver, he already has a high salary and generous subsidies, not to mention the monthly allowance. Even Zhao Zihao now has a fixed income of 500 yuan a month.
In the first two years when the evil wind first broke out, Wang Gang and Zhao Zihao basically did not cooperate. It was not until the evil wind calmed down that Zhao Zihao went to the pigeon market to do business.
In the past few years, Wang Gang has successively sold off the Daxing pears in the space. Because the quantity is large, it is not uncommon. The price of Daxing pears has fallen. Wang Gang has earned 50,000 yuan from more than 40 tons of pears.
He Yuyu didn't know about the money. It wasn't that Wang Gang didn't want to tell her, but he was afraid of scaring her.
Fifty thousand yuan may not be much in thirty years' time, but it was a huge amount of money in the early 1970s. Normal people would go to work and earn wages and would not be able to save it for a lifetime.
He Yuyu only knew that Wang Gang could usually earn extra money by driving, which was about more than a hundred yuan a month. She was so worried and worried that she kept telling him not to do it. The family was in good condition, so there was no need to take risks.
The income of Wang Gang and his wife is not bad, even much more than that of He Yuzhu’s family.
Even without extra money, Wang Gang can earn about 100 yuan a month in the factory.
He Yuyu used to work as a cashier in his workplace, but recently became an accountant, with a monthly salary of 35 yuan.
The combined monthly income of the couple is almost 150, which is definitely a high-income family in this era.
He Yuyu is a person who knows how to live well. The food and clothing at home are kept in order. The clothes Wang Gang wears are all made by her.
Wang Gang gives He Yuyu 200 yuan a month for household expenses, and she can basically save 100 yuan.
Everyone in the courtyard knew that Wang Gang's family lived the best life. They ate meat every three days and gossiped about He Yuyu behind her back, saying that she couldn't live a good life.
Wang Gang has always advised He Yuyu to move and not live in a large courtyard. Lu Quanfa's small courtyard house has a single family and is very convenient to live in.
But He Yuyu couldn't let go of He Sisi and Auntie, and she also had a little bit of vanity, so she refused to move.
After the family finished eating, Wang Gang and He Yuyu were preparing to go home with a bowl of braised pork.
"I'm going to stay at my aunt's house today." He Sisi took He Yuyu's hand and wanted to go home together.
"You're not allowed to go. You're not sleeping well. What if you kick your aunt?" Ran Qiuye pulled her daughter over and said:
"Have you finished your homework today?"
He Sisi suddenly had a grimace on her face and her little mouth pouted.
"I'll do my homework tomorrow."
"No, today's homework is finished today, and there will be tomorrow's homework tomorrow." Ran Qiuye said sternly.
He Sisi felt a little aggrieved, and her eyes began to become misty.
"Qiuye, my child is only five years old. Isn't it too hard to do so much homework all day long?" He Yuzhu felt reluctant to give up when he saw his daughter was about to cry.
"If a young person doesn't work hard, she will be miserable. It is precisely because she is young that she has to develop good study habits." Ran Qiuye said without giving up.
The others were silent. Regarding He Sisi's studies, Ran Qiuye was very domineering and would not give in even a step.
Wang Gang also understood Ran Qiuye. After all, he was born in a family of intellectuals and he was very focused on learning.
Since Ran Qiuye resigned from school and stayed at home, he could only live with his daughter's addiction to being a teacher.
This is also the reason why He Sisi likes He Yuyu, her aunt, more than her own mother.
"Sisi, listen to your mother, wait until you finish your homework and come back to play in my room." He Yuyu squatted down and said to He Sisi patiently.
He Sisi was still a little reluctant, and Wang Gang said at this time: "Sisi, go and study. My uncle will buy you candies tomorrow."
"Really." He Sisi's eyes lit up, and then she looked at Ran Qiuye, as if asking for her opinion.
Ran Qiuye usually doesn't allow her to eat sweets for fear of damaging her teeth.
"Only one is allowed." Ran Qiuye also knew that in addition to discipline, children also need to be coaxed.
He Sisi became happy and extended her little thumb to Wang Gang.
"Uncle, let's pull Gou Gou."
Wang Gang signed a seal with He Sisi, and she excitedly returned to her room to study.
After saying goodbye to He Yuzhu's family, Wang Gang and his wife returned to the house. Just as they were about to close the door, they saw two small figures squatting in the corner of his house.
Those are Qin Huairu's daughters Huaihua and Xiaodang.
He Yuyu looked at the two children in ragged clothes and felt a little distressed. He took a small bowl from home and poured a few pieces of braised pork for them.
Xiaodang held the small bowl with his dirty little hands and said happily: "Thank you, Aunt Yuyu."
