Chuan Shu Qi Leng: I own a department store

Of course Xu Wanning knew what Yang Rong and the others were worried about.

Uni-President Snack Shop recruited a total of nine retired female soldiers, more than half of whom did not get along well with their original families. Li Lingling, who had broken up with her parents, was just one of them.

But among the nine people, there are also some who get along well with their parents. Xu Wanning gave them a holiday just to let everyone go back and spend time with their parents and families.

"Anyway, after the holiday, you can have a good rest, go for a walk, or just stay in the snack bar to rest. All of these are fine. The keys are with you. If you don't want to go home, you can stay here. You can arrange it however you want. You can make your own decisions on these matters. You don't need to discuss it with me."

Hearing this, several people breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then...then we will live here? Don't worry, Wan Ning, we will bear the water and electricity expenses incurred by the store during the holiday."

Xu Wanning glared at Yang Rong in pretended anger: "Do you really have to be so clear with me? If you do this again next time, I will be angry!"

Everyone knew Xu Wanning's personality and she really didn't care much about these little things, so she just laughed it off.

Afterwards, Xu Wanning found Li Lingling alone again.

"When I went to the farm yesterday, I heard Yang Kai say that you had good news?"

Li Lingling nodded shyly, "Yes, there is good news. I just went to the hospital for a check-up yesterday, and it's been two months."

As she spoke, Li Lingling's hand gently stroked her still flat belly, and her eyes sparkled with the soft light unique to maternal love.

Even though the child is only an embryo the size of a fingernail now, for Li Lingling, it is the fruit of her and Yang Kai’s love and the beginning of her new life.

Her own family was unhappy, and Li Lingling was eager to pour all her love into this child, even if it would take her more than half a year to give birth to the child.

Immediately, Li Lingling thought of something and her expression turned unhappy.

Xu Wanning keenly noticed her abnormality and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong, Lingling?"

"Wan Ning, tell me, what if I give birth to a daughter?"

Hearing this, Xu Wanning couldn't help but frown and asked Li Lingling: "So what if she's a daughter? Are you like your parents, favoring boys over girls?"

Nowadays, the family planning policy has been implemented, and generally speaking, a family is only allowed to have one child.

Although Yang Kai and Li Lingling are not formal employees of the unit, they can exploit policy loopholes as long as they want.

But both of them are veterans. As former soldiers, how could they make such a mistake?

Therefore, as long as the baby in Li Lingling's belly is growing up healthily, they will not have a second child no matter what.

The gender of the child is, in a sense, particularly important.

Of course, this is only important for families with deep-rooted patriarchal tendencies.

Xu Wanning never thought that girls were born inferior to boys, so when treating Jinchu and Songhan, as well as Chunian and Chulin, she always adhered to the principle of treating them equally and impartially.

But this does not mean that other people have the same idea as her.

For example, Li Lingling now.

Xu Wanning couldn't quite understand why Li Lingling, as a victim of the patriarchal model, would come up with such thoughts?

Li Lingling looked at Xu Wanning's unhappy expression and waved her hands hastily, saying, "It's not like that. Whether he's a boy or a girl, he's my child. I love him, I love everything about him. It's just... it's just that when I talked to Yang Kai's family on the phone last night, my parents-in-law made it clear that they hope I can give birth to a son."

After Li Lingling said this, Xu Wanning could understand.

Xu Wanning knew a little about Yang Kai's family. He was not the only son in the family. He had three older sisters. He was the first son, and he had two younger brothers.

Because he had served in the army, he got married late. His two younger brothers have already married and had children.

A few years ago, when family planning was not yet implemented, his two younger brothers each had two or three children, both sons and daughters.

Therefore, Yang Kai’s parents actually already have grandchildren, and more than one.

The reason why they asked Li Lingling to give birth to a son was purely because they continued the idea of ​​the older generation that more children means more blessings.

This "zi" does not just mean child, but specifically refers to son.

Nowadays, who would complain about having few children and grandchildren?

"What does Yang Kai think?"

Li Lingling recalled Yang Kai's reaction yesterday and said to Xu Wanning, "He quarreled with his parents on the phone and said that it was the same whether it was a son or a daughter. This is our child, and asked his parents not to interfere."

Yang Kai's home is not too far from Beijing, in a rural area in the suburbs. The family conditions cannot be said to be very good, but they are not bad either.

Since Yang Kai joined the army, most of his monthly allowance was given to his family to improve their lives, leaving him with only a little money for pocket money.

Later, he joined Xu Wanning's breeding farm. At first, his monthly salary and benefits totaled more than one hundred yuan. At that time, he had no idea of ​​dating, so he still sent most of his salary back home and improved the conditions at home.

Later, after Uni-President Snacks was established, as he came into contact with these people more and more, he gradually developed a good impression of Li Lingling.

He had a strong sense of responsibility, and knowing that Li Lingling's family background was not good, he felt that he should take the initiative to assume the responsibility of supporting the family. So starting from that month, he sent 20 yuan home every month, and saved the rest, planning to buy a house in Beijing to live with Li Lingling.

At that time, his monthly salary and commission added up to more than two hundred yuan, and now his salary is as high as three or four hundred yuan.

Xu Wanning has always been generous to his employees. Yang Kai can be said to be the person with the highest salary besides Dongzi and Cuifen.

Of course, this is also due to the fact that Yang Kai is hard-working and has a strong sense of responsibility. Xu Wanning is confident in leaving most of the things to him and allows herself to do as she pleases.

According to Li Lingling, Yang Kai has currently saved more than 2,000 yuan.

If you want to buy a house in Beijing with more than 2,000 yuan, you probably can't afford it given the current market conditions in Beijing.

So after Yang Kai and Li Lingling discussed it, they bought a small courtyard near Qizhou, and Li Lingling would live there from time to time.

The affection between the young couple grows stronger day by day.
