Xue Ling and Cheng Tianyuan took turns holding the little guy and chatting while eating.
Xiao Ran was taken care of by his grandparents. He had already begun to learn how to hold chopsticks. He held the chopsticks naughtily and poked around randomly, eating very happily.
Ahu came over to toast and couldn't help but joke: "Of course, it seems we have to come for a drink! I see you are already a man!"
Xiao Ranran was full of pride, imitating other people's rhetoric and simply shouted: "Drink! Drink!"
Everyone laughed.
Ahu rubbed his little head, poured him a small glass of Jianlibao, and coaxed him: "This is children's wine, you drink this one."
In this era, drinks were still very rare. Rongcheng only sold beer, and Ahu bought such fresh drinks from the provincial capital.
Xue Ling drank half the bottle and was snatched away by Cheng Tianyuan.
"The weather is cold, and these things are freezing. Drinking too much is bad for the stomach."
Xue Ling had no choice but to give up and eat vegetables and meat slowly.
After Cuiliu on the side ate a little, he couldn't eat anymore and sat in the corner holding his chest.
Chen Min was half the master, he was busy greeting the guests and had no time to pay attention to her.
Xue Ling saw that the soup that had just been served was very hot and delicious, so he filled a small bowl and brought it to her to drink.
Cuiliu was very embarrassed and whispered: "How can this be done? I have to let you serve me! I'm so embarrassed!"
"What are you talking about?" Xue Ling said softly: "We are all women, and we understand the pain of being pregnant for ten months. I have been pregnant with two children, and I know the inconvenience and discomfort of having a big belly. If you can't eat, just drink a few mouthfuls of soup.
"
Cuiliu thanked her. After taking a sip, she felt that it was not too fishy, so she drank a few more sips.
Maybe she felt that Xue Ling brought it over and was too embarrassed to drink it all, so she drank the rest in one gulp.
"...Thank you, sister-in-law."
Xue Ling said warmly: "The Chinese New Year will be here in two days. Anyway, the store has been closed for more than half a month. Let Amin take you for a health check-up during these two days. You estimate it will be five or six months later, right?"
"Six months." Cuiliu whispered.
Xue Ling looked at the little one in Cheng Tianyuan's arms and whispered: "When I was about to give birth to little Yangyang, you were just pregnant. In the blink of an eye, he was five months old and he was already six months old. How fast!"
"Others may be faster." Cuiliu smiled bitterly: "I haven't been very comfortable for the past six months, and I feel that life is very difficult. I have to go through it every day, and it is really uncomfortable."
"I can understand." Xue Ling smiled bitterly: "If I were asked to stay at home to take care of the child, I would probably find the life difficult. It's okay. If I stay up for another three months, he will be born. It will be late spring and the weather will be very difficult.
It’s comfortable and neither too hot nor too cold during confinement, so it’s perfect.”
Cuiliu turned sideways and saw Chen Min and Cheng Tianyuan sitting together, chatting very animatedly.
"It would be great if Amin could be like Brother Ayuan. Brother Ayuan can do everything. He can do all the work at home so well, not to mention the work outside. Amin doesn't know much about housework.
Live. He finally learned to cook during this period, otherwise... he would have been starving."
“Brother Amin is also very good.”
A person who cares about his family is also a person who knows how to consider his wife."
"Yes." Cuiliu replied shyly: "He is really good to me. He is mainly taking care of me these days. I am relatively lucky. Alan and my aunt often help to take care of me. Without them, I would probably have a very difficult life.
Embarrassing."
Xue Ling looked at the happy smile on her eyebrows and smiled softly.
"Do you want anything else? Are there some sweets over there?"
"No." Cuiliu shook her head and whispered, "I really can't eat anymore."
Xue Ling couldn't help but shake her head: "You eat too little like this! I remember that when I was pregnant, I was very good at eating. I ate more than my husband in one meal, and occasionally I had to eat two big bowls of rice."
"I can't." Cuiliu smiled bitterly: "It's already pretty good if I can take a few bites."
Xue Ling looked at her belly that was still very big even though she was wearing a big cotton-padded jacket, and was a little in disbelief.
"You eat so little and you are not fat at all. How come your belly is so big?"
Cuiliu shook her head: "...I don't know either."
At this time, Xiao Ranran came over and took Xue Ling's hand, "Mom! I want to drink! I want to drink!"
Xue Ling couldn't laugh or cry, and coaxed: "That's not wine, you were deceived by Uncle Ahu. It's called a drink, sweet and cold. But eating cold things will make your stomach hurt, so you can only drink a little bit."
"
"A little more." Xiao Ranran said coquettishly: "Just a little bit!"
Cheng Muhai poured another small cup and said with a smile: "Come, let's drink!"
Xiao Ranran pursed her lips and smiled happily.
Xue Ling couldn't help but remind Cheng Muhai, "Dad, this stuff is cold, and it's not good for the child. Coax him not to drink too much, and take it away quickly."
Cheng Muhai didn't understand this. He thought that this new thing was not wine, but sweet and delicious. He also heard that it was something that could only be bought in the provincial capital, so he thought it must be something expensive and precious. When his daughter-in-law said this, he nodded hurriedly, "Okay.
, don’t let him drink it.”
At this time, Liu Ying was full and said: "You all go and eat. I will take Xiao Ranran out for a walk. He just ate some rice cakes, so he won't be hungry."
When Xiao Ranran heard that she could go out to play, she quickly forgot about the drinks, held her grandma's hand and skipped away.
Cuiliu looked at Xiao Ranran's back and said with envy: "She must be about this old, more than two years old, able to speak some words, and can be led to play, so it will be easier."
Xue Ling chuckled and said: "Then we have to start raising him from one month! Look at our second child. He only cries and eats and drinks, otherwise he sleeps. He wets his pants and the bed. There are a lot of things he does every day."
Cuiliu also laughed.
Liu Xiaoyu and Sister-in-law Jinhua both came and came to toast Xue Ling.
The weather was cold, the banquet was warm, the dishes were served in the same way, and everyone ate happily.
After eating for more than half an hour, the main course was finally served, followed by dessert and a few cups of tea.
Xue Ling was already full and hugged little Yangyang.
However, Cheng Tianyuan quickly picked him up again and whispered: "We still have to go back to the community to carry him. You usually don't hold him as much, so I'll do it."
Little Yangyang is a fat boy. He has been fat since he was born. Now is the time when he is growing taller, so he is particularly fat.
The day before yesterday, Cheng Tianyuan even weighed him specially, and he was already twenty-five pounds, which is considered a very fat kid.
Everyone is used to hugging her, and her hands don’t feel sore.
Xue Ling didn't hug her much these days. Cheng Tianyuan was afraid that she would be too tired, so he rushed to hug her.
Chen Min came over with a smile and whispered: "Sister-in-law, long time no see. Ayuan told me a lot of things just now, and also said that I would take care of your apartments...Thank you, sister-in-law!"
"You're welcome, it's my turn to say thank you." Xue Ling said with a smile: "In the past two days, when you have time, go and see Brother Yuan, and also get to know the tenants. You already know them a lot, because you were the one who helped me before.
busy."
"Yes." Chen Min smiled honestly and explained: "I know many of them. Some of them are workers in the development zone and often go to my place to buy things. A Yuan said, I have done this before, so
It's easy to get started. I'm... a little embarrassed. Actually, I just need to help, but A Yuan said this, otherwise he won't bother me for a long time. He said it too politely. "
"This is the income from labor." Xue Ling knew that he was embarrassed and reassured: "This is how Boss Liao cooperates with Xiao Chen. We are just following them. This is the trend in the industry."
When Chen Min heard what she said, he felt much better and nodded quickly: "I will take good care of the house. If someone wants to rent it, I will clean it and inspect it."
"Then it's all up to you." Xue Ling said with a smile: "Tomorrow I will ask Ayuan to bring you all the tenants' contracts. These were printed and copied in the provincial capital before. All you need to do is sign and seal them. Of course, they must be dated.
There are also a lot of keys with numbers on them, and you have to keep them all."
"No problem, I can do it!" Chen Min smiled happily, "Thank you, sister-in-law!"
He just made a rough calculation and found out that this is a lot of income. My sister-in-law has so many houses, and the monthly rent is two to three thousand yuan. If he can be given 5% as compensation, then he can earn 500 yuan a month.
That's an extra one hundred and fifty yuan.
People work a job and are busy in and out every day, and the salary is only 150 yuan at most.
When renting a house, you usually only come to collect the rent, and you don’t have to worry about anything else. It is considered a very easy job.
The business in the store has been very stable, but we have discussed before that because the quantity is large and the goods have to be pressed down, the payment will not be settled until the end of the year. Now that he has a family and his expenses are large, if he wants to settle the accounts at the end of the year, there will be a shortage from time to time.
when.
Ah Yuan said just now that as long as the rent is collected, he will be able to gain from every payment, which is calculated at 5%.
In this case, he would have all his usual household needs, and he would not have to worry about any shortages.
He was secretly happy. He saw Cuiliu in the corner, and hurriedly approached her and quietly told her the good news.
Cuiliu was also very happy and whispered: "Sister-in-law, they are so kind! They do this because they trust us. We must take good care of them and don't let them down."
"That's right." Seeing that her expression was still very bad, Chen Min said warmly: "There will be nothing to do next. I'll take you back first."
"Okay." Cuiliu seemed to remember something and said, "My sister-in-law said that we should go to the hospital for a health checkup when we have time. She said that we should have a checkup every few months, and when we are about to give birth, we should go for more checkups.
.But my mother said that there was no need for that, and she said they didn’t check us, so why didn’t they give birth to us properly? I don’t know who to listen to.”
"Then let's go." Chen Min smiled honestly and whispered: "I don't understand this either. My sister-in-law is a knowledgeable person, and she is right. Her two sons are so cute, and she is pregnant
It was also very good when she was there. If she said that, then let’s just listen to it.”
Cuiliu nodded and asked, "Then when should we go?"
Chen Min thought for a while and said: "I am busy celebrating the New Year now. How about we go there after the New Year?"
"Okay." Cuiliu said, "I'll go after the New Year."
