Siheyuan: The happy life of a little chef

Li Jianjun saw Yan Bugui go back, and he also helped Han Chunyan walk back. Han Chunyan shook off Li Jianjun's hand and said, "We are outside. I just got pregnant. There is no need to be so nervous."

Li Jianjun didn't take it seriously: "What's wrong with being outside? You are my wife. The doctor said that you must be careful in the first three months. I can't be too careful."

Han Chunyan was helpless. She didn't expect Li Jianjun to be so nervous, so she could only let him support her.

Yan Bugui returned home and hurriedly convened a family meeting: "Today we have an important announcement. Li Jianjun took his wife to the hospital for a checkup today. His wife is pregnant, but there is no elderly person at home to help. So he found me today and wanted your mother to help. It's not for nothing. Ten yuan a month. Judging from Li Jianjun's appearance, he will at least help until his wife is out of confinement. So, during this period of time, you can do what you can by yourselves. Your mother doesn't have time."

The third aunt was happy because she could also make money: "Old man, how much money does Li Jianjun give you?"

Yan Bugui glared at her and said, "From a woman's point of view, money is a small matter. With the relationship with Li Jianjun, how much will the family benefit in the future? But he still pays me, ten yuan a month."

This is a lot. Yan Jiecheng sometimes earns less than ten yuan a month from odd jobs. She just takes care of pregnant women, does laundry, etc., and she can earn ten yuan a month. She is very satisfied.

Yan Bugui thought for a moment, "This is not just about money. Jianjun has to go to work at noon, so you must cook for Chunyan. How can she not leave you food? Doesn't this save your food? Besides, the food at Li Jianjun's house is very good, and with Chunyan's pregnancy, it will only be better. Just do it with confidence, and you guys can't drag your feet, understand? And don't tell anyone about Li Jianjun giving money. If others ask, just say it's a favor between neighbors, understand?"

Yan Bugui was still very relieved about the wording. After all, he knew his own children well and they were all very cunning.

When Li Jianjun returned home, Xiaodang ran over and said, "Uncle."

Li Jianjun picked up Xiaodang and said, "Xiaodang, your aunt is pregnant. She may not be able to hold you in the future."

Xiao Dang was confused about the pregnancy, so Li Jianjun said, "Your aunt is pregnant, do you understand?"

Xiaodang suddenly realized: "Is it like mom? Is there a little brother in my aunt's belly?" Jia Zhang always said at home that Qin Huairu must be pregnant with a boy, and Xiaodang remembered it.

Han Chunyan was happy when she heard this. She had to give birth to a boy to help the Li family continue the family line. However, Li Jianjun wanted a little girl: "Not necessarily. Maybe she will be a lovely girl like Xiaodang."

Han Chunyan pinched him but said nothing. Li Jianjun put Xiaodang down and went to cook.

The next day, Li Jianjun went to work. The third aunt came to Li Jianjun's house early to help clean and wash. Everyone was curious about why the third aunt was doing housework in Li Jianjun's house. Was she so hardworking? The third aunt followed Yan Bugui's explanation: "Oh, isn't Chunyan pregnant? There is no elderly person to help at home, so I, as a neighbor, can help them."

The neighbors were not stupid. With the character of the Third Uncle, how could they do a business that would lose money? Who knows what benefits they got, but the addition of a new baby to the yard was a happy event, so everyone went to congratulate him.

Besides, when Li Jianjun arrived at the steel rolling mill, he didn't go to the cafeteria, but went directly to Li Huaide's office. He wanted to share this joy first. Before Li Huaide came, Li Jianjun sat in the office waiting.

When Li Huaide entered the office and saw Li Jianjun waiting for him, he thought something had happened: "Jianjun, you came here so early in the morning to wait for me, has something happened?"

Li Jianjun laughed and hugged Li Huaide. He was so excited. Li Huaide was confused. What had upset this kid?

After hugging for a while, Li Jianjun said, "Uncle, Chunyan'er is pregnant. I am going to be a father and you are going to be a grandfather."

Li Huaide seemed even more excited than Li Jianjun: "Really? Jianjun, you are not joking with uncle, are you?"

"Why would I joke about this?"

"Okay, okay, my Li family has a successor. May our ancestors bless us. You little rascal, why are you still going to work? Go and serve your wife." Li Huaide didn't even let Li Jianjun go to work.

"Uncle, don't get excited. I've found an aunt in the yard to take care of Chunyaner. She has four children and has more experience than us." Li Jianjun explained.

"Yes, yes, yes, I don't have a child either, and I have no experience. Jianjun, don't be stingy at this time. You have to know that only when you give enough benefits will others work hard, do you understand? This is the first child in our Li family, so we can't be careless." Li Huaide advised.

"Uncle, don't worry, I can handle this matter. How can I let my wife down?"

"It's good that you have an idea. This Sunday, your aunt and I will go to see Chunyaner. Tomorrow, ask your aunt to send some supplements to Chunyaner, such as malted milk, milk powder, etc." Li Huaide planned to send more.

"Uncle, the baby hasn't been born yet. Isn't it a little early to give it milk powder?" Li Jianjun asked.

"What do you know? Do you think milk powder is only for children? Adults can drink it too. It's good for the body. Don't worry about it. Just listen to me." Li Huaide waved his hand.

Li Jianjun did not refute. He just believed whatever Li Huaide said. It was obvious that he cared more about it than he did.

"By the way, Jianjun, buy some candies and give them out, and then go to your mother-in-law's house to announce the good news. This is a big deal, and you can't be impolite." After saying that, Li Huaide gave Li Jianjun some more tickets.

After Li Jianjun announced the good news, he took the ticket and went out to buy candy. He still had time to make lunch, but if he didn't, he still had Nan Yi.

After a busy day, Li Jianjun was eager to go home, so he came back early: "Wife, how are you today? Did you vomit?"

The third aunt answered first: "Jianjun is back. Chunyaner vomited some today, so I made some for her. Even if she vomited, she must eat it."

Li Jianjun praised: "Yes, yes, it's the third aunt who has experience. The doctor also said so."

"Since you're back, I'll go back first. Your uncle will be back soon, so I'll go back and cook."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Auntie." Li Jianjun said politely.

The third aunt was a little embarrassed: "What's the hard work? I'm used to doing it at home. It's not hard at all."

After the third aunt left, Han Chunyan said, "Jianjun, the third aunt did a great job. She didn't let me do anything. But I can't sit still! Qin Huairu came today. Her belly is so big. She said she will give birth in two months at most. She is still working at home. I am idle at home every day. How about buying a sewing machine and making some small clothes for our child?"

Li Jianjun thought about it and realized that he couldn't just lie there forever: "It's okay to buy it, but can you use it?"

Han Chunyan smiled and said, "I don't know how to do it, but Qin Huairu does. I asked her to teach me later. She said it's very simple and not difficult to learn."

Li Jianjun thought that the Jia family was here to ease the relationship. It didn't matter. Chun Yan'er was important now. If she was in a good mood, the child wouldn't suffer. "Okay, I'll listen to you, but you can't work too hard. You have to know when to stop."

Han Chunyan didn't expect Li Jianjun to agree so easily. She thought he would have to negotiate for a while. "Okay, if you're worried about me working too hard, you can just let the third aunt look after me."

Li Jianjun thought of Li Huaide's words: "Oh, my dear, I will bring some candy to your house tomorrow and tell your mother. At least let her know."

Han Chunyan slapped her head and said, "Look at my brain. I forgot about it when I was happy. Okay, tell her tomorrow and don't let her come over. There are a lot of people at home. Don't worry about me."

"I'll listen to you." Li Jianjun walked into the room, picked up Xiaodang, and stuffed a candy into her mouth.
