Siheyuan: Pioneer in anti-corruption, fighting against evil!

"Hire someone?" Nan Yi was not unwilling to do so for economic reasons. Hiring someone was just something he was considering. "That's a good idea. I'll ask around Zhuzi tomorrow when I go to work if there's anyone suitable.

"Okay, I'll let my parents ask.

" Ran Qiuye nodded in agreement.

The next day, Nan Yi distributed wedding candies in the second cafeteria while at work. After all, he had taken leave to accompany his wife during the birthing process.

All his colleagues knew that his wife was about to give birth, so Nan Yi arranged his work and went straight to the cafeteria.

"Zhu Zi, come here for a moment.

"Hey, you're here?" He Yuzhu came out and asked, "Is the baby born?"

"It was a big fat boy.

"Nan Yi smiled and said, "But there is a problem now. No one is taking care of the children.

I have moved in with my father-in-law but they both have to work.

He Yuzhu suddenly realized what was going on, and after thinking about it, he realized that this problem was not complicated at all, and it only required one person to quit his job and stay at home to take care of the child.

So He Yuzhu suggested: "Teacher Ran can take care of the children at home!"

“Ah?” Nan Yi was stunned. This was something he had never considered before, “Qiu Ye is happy to teach children.

“Look at it from another perspective, you need someone to look after the child at home, this is the first child.

"He Yuzhu said: "If there are elderly people at home, I won't say much.

What will I do when I have my second child?"

"Now the country encourages couples to have two children, but everyone's situation is different. You can't have just one, right?"

“With one child for every three years, it takes six years to get to kindergarten.

“You’re making a lot of money now, there’s no need for Teacher Ran to continue working, even though she likes it, there will be opportunities in the future.

“She can continue to work after her parents retire, and your children will be in school by then.

Nan Yi thought it made sense after hearing it.

"Zhu Zi, you have many ideas. I will discuss it with her when I get home tonight.

" Nan Yi nodded. Although it was hard to say it, this was the reality. Instead of hiring a nanny, it would be better to let Ran Qiuye put down her work first.

After getting the advice, Nan Yi left.

He Yuzhu did not return to the kitchen immediately, but lit a cigarette.

In another two or three years, when the storm has passed, Ran Qiuye won’t have to go back to work; but after the storm has calmed down, there may be other opportunities.

His arrival did change the life trajectories of many people. For example, Ran Qiuye in the play was unable to teach the children at school and had to do cleaning work.

At first she was still able to remain optimistic, but how long could this optimism last over a period of ten years?

The name Qiuye probably foreshadows her future, right? It's good now, and it won't be too hard to just quit.

After finishing his cigarette, He Yuzhu turned around and went back to the kitchen, while Nan Yi was thinking about how to talk to his wife.

Such a decision was not easy, and he still couldn't think of a proper solution until he returned home in the evening.

Before stepping into the Ran family's doorstep, he decided to propose it directly.

……

After dinner, I specially stewed a pot of chicken soup for Ran Qiuye to supplement her nutrition. Since she was still in confinement, she needed to eat light food.

He walked into the room carrying the chicken and chicken soup, and watching Ran Qiuye savoring it sip by sip, Nan Yi said, "Qiuye, your parents are at work during the day, and there's no one to help take care of the family. I think it's better for you to quit your job first, how about that?"

"Didn't you hire a nanny?" Ran Qiuye didn't lose his temper, but asked in confusion.

Nan Yi heaved a sigh of relief and explained, “Today I asked Zhuzi and calculated that we definitely cannot rely on just one nanny.

"When Chengxue is three years old and can go to kindergarten, will we consider having another child?" he continued.

“It will take at least six years from the time the second child starts kindergarten.

"So, why don't you quit your job now? It won't be too late to go back to work after your parents retire!" Nan Yi analyzed.

Ran Qiuye thought about it and felt that it made sense.

"It's better for me to quit my job than to make my parents suffer. I can take care of the children at home by myself. After all, I am the mother.

It won’t be too late for me to go out to work after they retire.

By then the children were grown up and I was still able to educate them at home.

"She agreed readily, "Okay, I'll go to the school and resign after I'm done with the confinement."

“I’m sorry for wronging you.

“Nan Yi seemed a little guilty.

"What's wrong with that?" Ran Qiuye said with a smile, "They are my children too! And your salary is enough to support our lives, and I will wait for you to support me in the future.

"No problem, I promise to raise you and the child plump and white, otherwise it's my cooking skills that are not good enough.

"After saying that, Nan Yi stood up and said, "I'm going to tell my parents what I think. I must tell them this in person.

Xu Damao was in a bad mood because Nan Yi had a son.

Of course, he no longer compares himself with He Yuzhu or Nan Yi, it's just pure negativity.

Liang Ladi followed Xu Damao pushing her bicycle and understood that he was in a bad mood after hearing the bad news about his grandfather.

Back in the backyard, Da Mao and Er Mao had already returned home from school, and the two brothers were doing homework in the room.

"Dad, Mom!" The children greeted Xu Damao and Liang Ladi immediately when they saw them.

Xu Damao's mood improved a little, and he smiled and said, "You are so sensible. Do your homework well and study hard to have a bright future. Dad will cook for you now.

He took off his coat and went into the kitchen.

Liang Ladi arranged for the children to follow in.

"Let me do it!" Liang Ladi reached out to take it.

But Xu Damao said: "Let's do it together today.

"I know you are in a bad mood, but aren't we working hard?" Liang Ladi comforted him.

Xu Damao shook his head and said, “I was a little depressed just now, but when I saw Damao and Ermao, I became happy again.

Today, as a father, I will cook myself.

Liang Ladi smiled. She knew that she had heard some rumors about Xu Damao since he entered the steel plant.

However, his current behavior is inconsistent with those rumors, which is normal. After all, he has experienced a blow and has changed a lot now.

……

In the Ran family, both Ran's father and Ran's mother are very open-minded.

When their daughter married Nan Yi, they had already considered many possible situations.

They are different from Ran Qiuye and are more thoughtful.

It is okay for my daughter to quit her job now. She will naturally find a job again when she grows up. After all, she is my own flesh and blood.

“Since you and your spouse have already discussed it, then there is no problem. After all, this is your life choice.

"Ran's father directly stated: "Moreover, Qiuye will be able to provide enlightenment education for the child earlier in the future."

“It’s just that Qiu Ye was wronged.

"Nan Yi said: "I originally planned to hire a nanny, but my colleagues suggested that I put down my work for a while. I think this will be better for the child.

In addition, I also hope that if I have a boy in the future, he will take Qiuye's surname.

Hearing this, Ran's father's hands trembled slightly. He looked at Nan Yi in surprise and asked, "Nan Yi, do you know what you are talking about?"

“Of course, I haven’t mentioned this to Qiu Ye yet. This is my personal decision.

"Nan Yi nodded and confirmed: "I am the only one in the Nan family, I can make the decision on my own.

"Very good, very good!" Ran's father smiled. They and their husband only have one child, Ran Qiuye. Although they have some relatives overseas, the relationship is not distant.

Their family returned to China to support domestic education, and although Ran's father was a returnee, he held on to traditional ideas.

Those who are willing to return to China have some traditional thinking. Ran's father went to a private school when he was young, and later received Western education.

Nan Yi also smiled and said, "From now on, you two are my real parents.

Their family is warm and harmonious. Ran Qiuye is taking care of the children in the house, but she also hears the conversation outside and is surprised by Nan Yi's decision.

Then she smiled sweetly. Nan Yi is indeed a good chef!

They also discussed privately about how Wen Li should marry He Yuzhu, and Ran Qiuye was surprised by He Yuzhu's point of view.

These seem unreasonable, but they are hard to refute. I didn’t expect that there would be such romance between Wen Li and He Yuzhu.

She and Nan Yi are in tune with each other. Nan Yi has a good understanding of traditional culture. She looked up at the record player. Nan Yi bought some records so that he could play music to entertain the children during the day.

These are all testimonies of their feelings. Nan Yi would bring back some calligraphy and paintings from time to time.

……

At the end of the year, He Yuzhu's family decided to move back to the compound. After the New Year, He Wenxuan would be three years old and could go to kindergarten.

Both Mr. and Mrs. Wen are reluctant to part with their grandson, but they come to visit him every Sunday.

The old couple will definitely feel lonely after they leave.

After the He family moved back to the slum, no one in the compound paid much attention to it, but a piece of news spread in the steel mill.

Due to the deteriorating relationship with polar bears and the threat from the southeast coast, the country has a plan to build a third-line base, and this news gradually spread.

The construction of the Third Front requires a large amount of manpower, and many people will flock there.

No one knew who leaked the news, and people were in a panic for a while.

As a chef, He Yuzhu doesn't need to worry about this, because going to the third line has nothing to do with them.

The two of them continued to concentrate on their research, and in the summer they actually developed several palace dishes, which made Li Huaide very satisfied, and he established connections in the steel mill.

Since entering the factory, he has been expanding his relationships, but as the deputy factory director, he is responsible for logistics management and has no control over front-line production.

It doesn't cost too much to train Nan Yi. Let her work hard and eventually use her for your benefit.

Nan Yi is not only used for palace dishes. He Yuzhu is an excellent cook, but he made it clear that I am just a chef and I follow orders.

This is unacceptable!

Discussions about the Third Front construction were heated and news spread quickly. As a heavy industrial base, the Northeast was particularly likely to become the focus of attention.

This is a national defense project!

He Yuzhu understood that such a thing would happen sooner or later.

Nan Yi was also worried and discussed with He Yuzhu: "Zhuzi, do you think we will go?"

"What does this have to do with chefs?" He Yuzhu rolled his eyes, "There is no shortage of chefs over there, what they really need are technicians and skilled workers.

However, it is a good opportunity for you. After all, there may be good development space there.

"When someone leaves, there will be a vacant room. Would you consider buying it?"

"Hmm?" Nan Yi was stunned for a moment, "What you said makes sense!"

"You are in the compound, please keep an eye on it for me!" He Yuzhu reminded, "After all, there are many people in the compound who are short of houses, and there are also many rich people, such as Xu Damao's family..."

Nan Yi immediately understood that although Xu Damao's family had a large population, Xu Damao had a strong ability to make money and did not need to worry about financial problems.

Liang Ladi no longer sends money to her late husband's family. After all, they are responsible for the four children themselves. Liang Ladi has done her best. Her parents' family still provide occasional financial support, but her income is enough to cope with it.

Nan Yi nodded in agreement: “I’ll keep an eye on it, and you can help me too.

(

Liu Guangqi, the eldest son of the second uncle Liu Haizhong, was very concerned about the current news. After returning home on Sunday, he discussed the matter with his father Liu Haizhong.

"Dad, do you know about the Third Front construction?" Liu Guangqi asked while eating.

"Huh?" Liu Haizhong was startled. "Why are you asking about this?"

“I want to go to the third line.

"Liu Guangqi expressed his intention directly.

"You want to go to the Third Front?" Liu Haizhong was surprised again, "Why do you want to go?"

"If you want me to stay in the city, I have to learn the skills from you slowly. Although I am now a fourth-level worker, it is too difficult to become a cadre.

"Liu Guangqi cleverly aimed for promotion.

Liu Haizhong has always longed for a leadership position, but he couldn't even become a team leader.

Faced with his son's idea, he did not object immediately, but was willing to listen to his reasons.

“When you go to the third line, you will definitely be short of manpower in the early stage. Although it is hard, the chances of promotion are greater.

“Also, the allocation of houses is limited, and the salary and benefits should be good.

“This is a great opportunity!”

“I am probably the only one in my family who has the best chance of becoming a cadre.

Liu Haizhong thought it made sense, but...

“But if you leave, it will be troublesome for us to come back.

"He said with concern.

"I have a city hukou!" Liu Guangqi stressed, "My parents are still young. If I don't work hard now, when will I?"

“The first people to go are crucial so that they can stand out!”

"..." Liu Haizhong hesitated, "Let's wait until this matter is confirmed. I need to think about it carefully.

"Okay, there's no rush now. The news hasn't been confirmed yet!" Liu Guangqi nodded. He was not in a hurry right now and would slowly convince his father later.

The most important thing is that he wants to know how much benefit he can get before leaving, but the specific situation of the third line is still unclear.

But the initial conditions will definitely not be very good. If you can bring more money with you, life will be much easier.

Therefore, Liu Guangqi persuaded his father, otherwise he could leave quietly.

He didn't have much of a sense of belonging to this family. Although his parents were very good to him, they beat his younger brothers too harshly, which scared him a little.

At the same time, he also understood that his two younger brothers would definitely not be able to take on the responsibility of supporting their parents in the future, and his parents' retirement hopes all depended on him, which was definitely not a long-term solution! Three brothers, why should I be the only one to take on the responsibility?

There are problems with the Liu family's educational methods, especially the extremely unbalanced relationship between the three children, coupled with Liu Haizhong's hot temper.

Although Liu Guangqi had never been beaten, he was filled with fear when he saw Liu Haizhong's rude behavior towards his younger brothers. He couldn't imagine what would happen if such a thing happened to him.

Not only their family is considering this issue, but others are also thinking about it secretly.
