70s: Raising a Baby

They agreed to move today. In the morning, the children packed their remaining belongings into their schoolbags and followed Ye Jinzhi to the company.

Ye Jinzhi originally promised to go with them to find the factory site, but because of the backlog of things these days, he could only let them do it on their own.

But fortunately, they have lived here for several years and have a general understanding of the terrain here, so they will not be so blind when searching.

The four children stayed at the company for half a day yesterday, and they are already familiar with it today.

Mom, can I play in the shopping mall opposite? The children couldn't sit still here.

Because it was an office, Ye Jinzhi asked them not to run around and sit in the office to play.

But at this age they are very active and cannot sit still at all.

Although Ye Jinzhi was at work, he used to look at the children from the corner of his eye to see if they were comfortable.

As early as he saw them leaning against the window, pointing at the shopping mall opposite, he knew they couldn't stay any longer, and kept waiting for him to look at him and speak.

Fortunately, Xiaojiu, Xiaoliu and the others saw a few children following Ye Jinzhi, and they followed him out of fear that the children would cause trouble.

Okay, there's a movie theater opposite. Can you let your uncle take you to play?

Ye Jinzhi stopped writing and asked for their opinions. She had already checked the time. It was almost noon when she returned from watching a movie.

Okay. They just wanted to go out and play. It didn't matter where they went. They just didn't want to stay here. When their mother agreed, it was too late to be happy.

Ye Jinzhi had the habit of keeping change in his drawer, so he pulled out a big unity card.

Leave the money to my brother for safekeeping, and you must use your brother and uncle's words.

It's okay to go out and play while you don't have to study now.

It won't be so convenient after they move, and Ye Jinzhi usually won't take them to the company.

Miss. As soon as the children got the answer, they ran out to find their uncle and the others.

Xiaojiu and the others were arranged by Ye Jinzhi to stay in an empty office. Most of the people in the company were now less popular than before.

It can be seen from the offices alone that one-third of the many offices are vacant.

Be careful on the road, don't indulge them. Ye Jinzhi finally reminded.

Xiaojiu scratched his head in embarrassment and pretended not to know what Ye Jinzhi was talking about.

Ye Jinzhi had known for a long time that a group of them were very pampered with several children. Although the man looked so fierce on the surface, he was actually very patient with the children and doted on them even more than Ye Jinzhi. Don't think she didn't know that.

Then let's go first. Xiaojiu quickly pulled the people away. He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, they would be exposed, although depending on the situation, they had already been exposed.

Come on, come on, let's go out and play! They haven't been out to play for a long time, and they feel a little more excited when they go outside.

Don't run around, or I will file a complaint. Xiao Jiu warned them threateningly.

With what Ye Jinzhi said just now, they definitely couldn't take them away to play, but honestly took them to watch movies.

Fortunately, the children also know how to behave. If they are caught for not obeying today, it will be difficult to get out in the future.

Nowadays, there is nothing to choose from in movie theaters. You just watch whatever they show.

Fortunately, they hadn't seen this one, and they were holding the food they just bought in their hands, so they sat there and watched the movie honestly.

The movie lasted for an hour and a half, which was still a while before the time set by Ye Jinzhi. None of the children wanted to go back so early. They begged one of them to be a good uncle and the other to be good uncle. They were pestering them and they had no choice.

I've had enough fun and I'm willing to come back. Ye Jinzhi waited and waited until it was almost twelve o'clock before a group of people came back.

Hey, mom, I brought you something delicious. He wanted to fool around and put the things they bought in front of Ye Jinzhi.

Ye Jinzhi glared at them and gave each of them a spicy chicken.

Next time, don't go out. Practice calligraphy and piano for me at home.

Hey, it won't happen anymore, it won't happen anymore. Knowing that their mother was not angry, the children also relaxed.

Where's uncle? Ye Jinzhi saw that no one was following them.

Speaking of this, several children laughed there and pointed quietly to the next door.

Uncle is afraid of mother and doesn't dare to come over. Ye Jinzhi looked helpless.

Have you eaten?

Several children shook their heads, knowing that their mother would be waiting for them.

Let's eat. The assistant saw that they didn't come back after going out, so he helped Ye Jinzhi bring food back.

Before leaving, Ye Jinzhi asked a few people about the portion size. After thinking about it, it was still the portion size for seven people, fearing that they might not have eaten yet.

Then you send this meal to uncle. Ye Jinzhi pointed to the meals on the table. They were all the same, but two portions were larger than the others.

This was Ye Jinzhi's special instruction. The man's appetite must be greater than theirs.

Okay. Azhao ran out with the food in hand. Before leaving, he didn't forget to turn around and tell him, You have to wait for me.

Ye Jinzhi laughed. It was only two steps away, but he said it was a long way away, but he agreed that he would wait for him in the first place.

Let's wash our hands first. After playing outside for so long, I don't know how dirty I am and how much sweat I've shed.

I'm back. Azhao ran back in a hurry, fearing that they wouldn't wait for him.

Let's eat. Although today's meal is not as rich as at home, it tastes good. The children have been playing for so long.

My stomach began to growl when I smelled the food, so I ate it with big mouthfuls.

Don't eat it all over your face.

The three big ones were okay, but Ayan was really in trouble. Not only was the food all over his face, but it was also all over his clothes. He looked like a little cat when he raised his head.

Ayan is a little cat. Ahao would laugh at him when he saw it.

Ayan wasn't angry either, he just followed there happily without wiping it off and continued to eat hard.

Ye Jinzhi didn't care about him. Anyway, they still had one or two pieces of clothes in their schoolbags, which they would change later.

Although Ye Jinzhi hadn't eaten anything all morning, she didn't have a big appetite and stopped eating before she was halfway through.

Seeing several children still working hard to cook, Ye Jinzhi told them something.

My aunt at home has found her. We can see it when we go back today.

In fact, Ye Jinzhi originally thought it would take a while, and thought that he would only be able to let them eat in the canteen for a few days first.

Unexpectedly, when I went back last night, the man said he had found it.

She also worked for the Ye family before, but her situation is very similar to Mrs. Jiang's. Her husband is dead and her son is already working. He is about fifty years old.

Ye Jinzhi has never met anyone, but I heard from Lao San and others that they also like to be clean and are good at cooking. The children should like it.

Okay, does Auntie's cooking taste good? This is what the children are most concerned about.

Ye Jinzhi smiled and pointed at their heads, We'll find out if we go back and take a look.

Because it was the first day for the children to go to their new home, Ye Jinzhi also got off work early that day. He took the children back to have a look and see if there was anything missing so that they could make up for it.

Miss, brother is waiting for us downstairs. Ye Jinzhi was helping several children put their schoolbags on their backs when Xiaoliu knocked on the door.

Okay. Ye Jin responded subconsciously.

Suddenly, he remembered something and looked up behind him, Where is Xiaojiu?

He's waiting for us below. Xiao Liu pretended to be calm, as if nothing had happened.

Ye Jinzhi glanced at him and said nothing.

Xiao Liu subconsciously avoided her gaze and did not dare to look at her.

Next time, you guys will be punished together. Ye Jinzhi suddenly said as he passed by him.

He was so scared that he didn't dare to speak, but he scolded Xiao Jiu in his heart, saying that he would always run the fastest after doing bad things.

Miss. The man was waiting outside the car. When he saw Ye Jin coming down, he went to greet her.

Ye Jinzhi nodded.

The man followed her, Auntie is already at home, and so are the youngest and the others.

Thank you for your hard work. Did you find a place?

Not yet, there are a few places to visit tomorrow.

There's no rush, just take it step by step, we still have a lot of time.

It is actually quite difficult for them to find a factory site like this. Not only does it need to be large, but it also needs to be ensured that it is not too remote.

But many times it is really difficult for the Manchus. The place is large, but they hardly look big these days. It is okay for them to have a small number of people, but when there are more people, it is impossible to squeeze through.

I suggest you find a bigger one. It will be convenient if you really need to recruit more people in the future. There is no need to change.

There is another point that Ye Jinzhi didn't mention. Now that house prices are cheap, it's more cost-effective to buy it as soon as possible. If you want to buy it later, not only will the price rise a lot, it's hard to say whether you can afford it or not.

This is the capital after all, so even if what you buy is a horned nugget, it is still very popular.

How many people in future generations have worked hard all their lives but have not been able to settle here, not because the housing prices are too expensive, but also ridiculously expensive. If an ordinary family wants to settle here, the money they have worked hard for a lifetime may be enough to buy a toilet here.

The man took Ye Jinzhi's advice very seriously. This was the first time they had done something by themselves. Unlike before, they only relied on strength and skill, and they also needed to be able to calculate.

We're here. Ye Jinzhi saw the familiar yet unfamiliar security office, which was different from the one in Haishi.

But Ye Jinzhi couldn't tell what was different at once. It just felt different.

But it’s the same as the sea market, you have to register when entering or exiting.

There is a sign indicating the entry and exit of family members at home. You can just put it on the car when the time comes. There is no need to register.

But the inside is completely different from that in Haishi. Everyone's houses are the same. They all have their own front and back yards, surrounded by fences, and are two-story buildings.

Perhaps seeing Ye Jinzhi's doubts, the man explained: All the people who live here have official positions above the regiment leader. The implication was that there was another compound.

So that's it. Ye Jinzhi thought that people in the capital must be rich, and everyone lived in the same house. He didn't know how much money he spent at that time. After hearing his explanation, Ye Jinzhi thought it was reasonable.

Opposite is the government compound, where Mr. Zhou lives.

Ye Jinzhi also saw it just now. It was just across the road from the army compound, very close.

The third building in front is ours.

Ye Jinzhi knew without him having to ask. The third child and the others were gathered around the front yard and didn't know what they were doing. A group of people gathered tightly around him.

Didi—— The horn rang, and the group of people at the door slowly stood up after hearing the sound.

Coming.

What bad things have you done?

After getting along with each other for a long time, Ye Jinzhi already knew them well. He would pretend to be them at first, but later he would not pretend at all, and his true colors would be exposed directly.

I didn't do anything, I didn't do anything. A group of people stood at the door and refused to admit it.

Uncle. Several children saw them doing bad things when they were sitting in the car. As soon as they got off the car, they wanted to run over and have a look.

Come on, are you hungry? I'll take you to eat. Several grown men held a child in one arm and took them away by force.

When Ye Jinzhi passed by, the remaining few people were still standing there, looking guilty.

The man followed Ye Jinzhi, and when he saw Ye Jinzhi entering, he turned his head and gave them a warning look.

Beef jerky. Several children were reluctant at first and always wanted to go back and see what was there.

Being forcibly brought in, I was a little unhappy at first, but when I saw the beef jerky on the table, I instantly became excited.

After finishing the beef jerky last time, there was no more beef jerky at home, and my mother forbade everyone to buy it for them again.

Why did you buy them this again? Ye Jinzhi knew whose masterpiece it was by looking at the beef jerky.

Hey, isn't this a moving gift? The third child pretended to be stupid.

Just spoil them.

Several children in the family love to eat this, but they don't know how to control it. They can't eat too much of this kind of food because they can't digest it. However, several children didn't listen and secretly ate the whole big bag of beef jerky while Ye Jinzhi was not at home. I couldn't even get out of the toilet at the back.

Don't be greedy. I warned several children.

Let's go and show you the room. The room is not the same as the courtyard. After all, there is not enough space. Four children have two rooms.

I asked their opinions whether they wanted a large bed or bunk beds, but none of the children wanted to sleep in bunk beds and all wanted a large bed.

But after moving here, Ayan would have to sleep with his brother. With someone to accompany him at night, he would definitely not be afraid.

Azhao and Ayan slept in a room, the two twins shared a room, a master bedroom, a study room, and a piano room for several children to practice piano.

If you want to separate the other two rooms when the children are older, you can tell them. The placement requirements are all based on Ye Jinzhi's preferences.

But the best thing about the rooms here is that they all have balconies. Ye Jinzhi did not provide them with balconies for the children, letting them decide for themselves.

She has already finished the master bedroom. She has placed a small white table and a hanging chair behind it. It will be a good place to have some fresh air at night.

Ye Jinzhi also placed desks and bookcases in the two rooms where the children lived. After all, it was a bit troublesome to go to the study room to do homework, and sometimes they couldn't use it when Yuan Shaochen had to work.

How's it going? Do you like it?

like.

Too beautiful.

Ye Jinzhi smiled proudly, she had studied their preferences thoroughly.

Put your things in order and come downstairs later.

Ye Jinzhi also had some things to sort out. The mother and son were sorting them in their own rooms, but the children's place was obviously more lively.

Ye Jinzhi could still hear the sounds of them fighting in the room and couldn't calm down at all.
