Siheyuan: Returning to 61 to collect waste

After Tong Yousheng went to work, Wang Yuxiu sat at the door and chatted with the neighbors in the yard.

When she saw two figures entering the yard, she didn't take it seriously until they came closer. She was surprised to find that they were her daughter Liu Yao and her in-laws.

She quickly stood up to greet the guests. "In-laws? You're here? Yaoyao, why don't you have to work today?" Wang Yuxiu held Liu Yue's hand and asked with a smile.

Liu Yue politely replied, "Is it okay to bother you, dear?" Wang Yuxiu quickly replied, "No, I'm a little bored at home alone, but why didn't Yaoyao go to work? Today is not the weekend!"

Liu Yue took her in-laws' hand and walked into the house, explaining as they walked: "We took Yaoyao for a physical examination. We happened to be near your house, so we came uninvited." However, upon hearing this, Wang Yuxiu suddenly felt nervous and hurriedly asked the reason. "Yaoyao, what's the matter? Why do we have to go to the hospital for a check-up?" Liu Yue said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, in-laws.

Yaoyao is doing well, she is going to be a mother! " This made Wang Yuxiu stunned for a moment, and then her face was full of joy. "My dear relatives, are you saying that Yaoyao is pregnant? "Liu Yue nodded to confirm: "Yes, Yaoyao is pregnant.

She felt uncomfortable after dinner last night, so I guessed it was normal. I went to check it out this morning and it turned out to be good news!

Wang Yuxiu's eyes sparkled with moisture. Although it was a grandson rather than a granddaughter, for them, who only had one daughter, having a new inheritance undoubtedly brought them great excitement. "Yaoyao, what do you want to eat? I'll make it for you at noon." Tang Yao refused and said, "Mom, I don't have an appetite for meat now. Please help me get a bowl of clear soup noodles and some kimchi."

Although she reprimanded him verbally, Wang Yuxiu finally prepared noodles for her daughter and even received help from her future in-laws. "In-laws, help together." Liu Yue rolled up his sleeves and said.

At this time, Ye Chuan's heart was also filled with joy for the arrival of a new life in his family. He smiled at work and even had the idea of ​​temporarily avoiding his study tasks.

After completing his busy morning tasks and having lunch, he arrived at the first department store.

But when he was there, he hesitated to buy, because Yaoyao was only one month pregnant, it seemed too early to buy, and the variety of goods was far less rich and diverse than later. "Consultant Ye..." Just as Ye Chuan was about to leave, he heard the voice of the department store manager Wei Dong calling him, and looked back.

The manager smiled warmly. "Hello, Manager Wei." Ye Chuan replied with a smile. "Why is Consultant Ye visiting our mall? Are you going out to check out school supplies?" the manager asked. "My wife is pregnant, and I want to pick something for her.

But I don’t know what to choose.” The manager smiled and said nothing, then invited:

"Congratulations, Consultant Ye.

I know there's something just right for your baby."

Out of curiosity, Ye Chuan followed Manager Wei into a small room near the manager's office.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw a large warehouse filled with all kinds of fabrics.

The manager pointed to the row on the left, which was piled high. "This warehouse holds old fabrics in stock.

When we have a certain amount of inventory, we will send them back to the factory or sell them to internal employees at a very cheap price.

Although these fabrics have been preserved for a long time, they are all high-quality cotton and are especially suitable for making diapers.

They are more suitable for newborns than harder fabrics, so Consultant Ye might as well pick some." Manager Wei explained to him.

The scene in front of Ye Chuan became clear. He saw that the fabrics were soft and comfortable, and were indeed high-quality materials for making diapers.

Manager Wei pointed to the shelf on the right and explained, “These pure cottons are of particularly high quality, but they are not easy to sell because of their high prices.

It feels so soft to wear that even my wife's pajamas are made of this fabric.

It is very suitable for making clothes for babies, and there will be no rashes or allergic reactions and redness everywhere. "For Tong Yao, who is pregnant with her first child, Ye Chuan does not have the habit of buying second-hand baby clothes, so he will definitely purchase new ones himself.

This is undoubtedly a valuable gift. "Manager Wei, can you give me more? Let me calculate the total price and I'll pay." Ye Chuan offered.

However, Manager Wei pretended to be unhappy and said, "Consultant Ye, don't be like this, this is a gift for your future nephew.

You can take it away." Faced with Manager Wei's enthusiasm, Ye Chuan did not want to be too polite. Since the two of them were studying together, there would naturally be a chance to repay this friendship, so he readily agreed.

Afterwards, Manager Wei laughed loudly. He was very happy that Ye Chuan could accept these items.

The warehouse keeper was immediately asked to deliver 100 kilograms of aged cloth and 20 meters of high-quality cloth directly to the business location.

Ye Chuan was secretly surprised. Such generosity was amazing. 100 kilograms of old cloth were used at one time. He would not have to worry about not having enough diapers for two more children in the future.

Although he didn't say it explicitly, he remembered the favor.

After leaving the warehouse, Manager Wei asked, "Xiao Ye, have you prepared everything needed for the field research?" He has become accustomed to calling Ye Chuan "Xiao Ye", and their relationship has deepened because of this fabric.

Due to the recent busy work, Ye Chuan has no time to prepare, so this is a good opportunity. "Brother Wei, not yet, I will go buy a pair of leather shoes and a shirt when I get to the department store." Manager Wei was very pleased with Ye Chuan's respect. "Xiao Ye, I will help you with other daily necessities, such as toothbrushes, toothpaste, towels, soaps, etc." Manager Wei promised. "Thank you very much, brother." Ye Chuan smiled and thanked. "Hey, this is what I should do! As a department store manager, my ability lies in it." Wei Dong responded with a relaxed wave of his hand.

So they went up to the top floor together. With Manager Wei accompanying them, they were warmly received no matter which counter they went to.

Ye Chuan finally bought two pairs of leather shoes, three shirts and two pairs of suit pants. "Xiao Ye, you are really generous!" Manager Wei exclaimed in surprise, because Ye Chuan never asked about the price when shopping, he would buy directly when he was satisfied with the selection, and pay without any delay.

Wei Dong was a little surprised. This kid spent hundreds of yuan at once and claimed that he would bring less. His generosity was simply amazing.

Compared with a member of the previous inspection and study team, that person spent a long time comparing prices in every store, and finally had to nod his head to indicate that the price was slightly cheaper before reluctantly buying shoes and shirts. His conflicted expression was really funny.

Look at Ye Chuan, the gap is obvious, and their styles are really worlds apart.

After lunch, Liu Yue, Tong Yao and Wang Yuxiu chatted enthusiastically and before they knew it, it was past four in the afternoon.

Considering that Ye Chuan and his son would be returning home around 5:30, Liu Yue urged them to leave Tong's house and return to their own residence to cook.

Before leaving, Liu Yue warmly invited Wang Yuxiu to stay at home and chat with her to kill time when she was free.

Tong Yao also agreed, because she thought her mother might be bored at home alone, and even used Ye Chuan's collection of books as an attraction.

Wang Yuxiu readily agreed. She had been worried that she would not have much common topics to talk about with her in-laws, but she did not expect that they would have a very happy chat for the entire afternoon, which made her life much more interesting.

Liu Yue started to take care of cooking after returning home. Although Tong Yao tried to help, she was stopped.

The smell of smoke produced during cooking made Tong Yao feel a little uncomfortable, so she followed her mother-in-law's instructions and went back to her room to read and rest.

Ye Yongshun and Ye Chuan entered the house almost at the same time. Dinner was a simple meal of four dishes and one soup. Compared to the greasy feeling of yesterday, these three dishes focused more on the refreshing taste.

Neither of them said much, understanding that the baby might be sensitive to smells during pregnancy, so they temporarily tried light-flavored food without complaint.

After everyone sat down, Liu Yue took out a diagnosis sheet from his pocket.

Ye Yongshun and Ye Chuan already knew the general situation, but they were even more excited after the doctor confirmed it.

Ye Chuan was particularly happy about his wife's pregnancy, and made an exception to go with his father to taste some wine.

Liu Yue spoke up and reminded his son: "Xiaochuan, Director Cai helped a lot today, remember to thank her."

"Don't take it to heart, Mom. Director Sun and I are as close as family. This kind of courtesy is too polite." Ye Chuan responded while chewing his food.

Knowing that his son was good at interpersonal communication, Liu Yue did not interfere too much.

Then he asked, "Xiaochuan, what did you bring back home just now?"

"Mom, I almost forgot to tell you.

When I went to a department store, I met a manager who gave me some cloth. The old ones can be used to make diapers, and the high-quality ones can be used to make clothes for children. "When Ye Chuan said this, his tone was full of surprise at his mother's mention of the personnel in the workplace.

After hearing his son's explanation, the two people at the table looked surprised.

Although Ye Chuan has only been in the job for over a year, he has been able to interact with senior managers and has great respect for them.

The dinner atmosphere was relaxed and harmonious, with people chatting while eating.

Talking about the visit to the Tong family, Ye Chuan couldn't believe that his mother-in-law, the mother who loved literature, and his own mother could talk so well, as if time had flown by.

After dinner, Liu Yue placed the large bundle of cloth on the table. When he opened it, he saw that it was all brand new.

Liu Yue exclaimed: "So much new fabric, it's such a waste to use it to make diapers!"

Ye Chuan explained with a smile: "Mom, the quality of the old cloth is average, just right for making diapers.

The bottom layer is made of fine fabrics, which are comfortable and high quality. It is a wise choice to use them to sew clothes for children."

Liu Yue examined the old cloths. Time had slightly deteriorated their quality, but she felt that using them as diapers was the best use of them.

After hearing what my son said, I finally understood the truth and no longer felt so sad.

Impatient Ye Yongshun expressed his opinion: "How can this be considered a waste? These are all prepared for my grandson, how can it be considered a pity?"

Thinking that the cloth would eventually have a use, Liu Yue accepted it with relief and said nothing more.

Watching all this, Tong Yao leaned in Ye Chuan's arms with a smile on her face, maternal love flickering in her eyes.

In a blink of an eye, the 26th arrived, and Ye Chuan was only one step away from the second day of his inspection and study.

Tong Yao specially took a day off to go home and get a gift - a bag of fine tea, which was given by her grandparents to her to bring to Ye Chuan.

She was reluctant at first, but with the sincerity of her parents, she had no choice but to accept it and go home to meet her mother-in-law.
