Li Wenjun shook his head: "Tsk, tsk, you must have become angry from embarrassment."
Li Wenyong also shook his head: "Well, if you are not capable enough, how can you blame us?"
Tao Guangming's hysterical voice came from afar: "Shut up, or I'll kill you two bastards."
After Li Wenyong finished laughing, he was troubled: "Suddenly I thought that apart from the sick people at home, they are pregnant women or children. We are both busy, who will do the housework."
Li Wenjun thought for a while: "How about we hire a nanny to help."
In fact, he had wanted to hire a nanny for a long time, but he was afraid that Liu Cuihong and the others would not agree.
Both Liu Cuihong and Li Changming came from poor backgrounds, and they felt that having to hire a nanny to do things like cooking and washing clothes was simply the style of old-fashioned ladies and gentlemen in the old society. It was extremely evil!
Li Wenyong: "That's not good. Our family is already very luxurious. If we hire a nanny to do housework again, wouldn't we be stabbed in the spine?"
Li Wenjun said: "Then you will do it? I don't have time."
Li Wenyong thought: Gu Zhanyan and Liu Dongmei will not be able to work hard for at least a year after their pregnancy and confinement. Even after the confinement period, with two more babies at home, there will definitely be more housework than less. He and Li Wenjun could hold out for a few days, but they certainly wouldn't be able to do it for a long time.
Besides, as the new year begins, Li Wenjun will definitely be running around again, and he will be the one to take care of five people. He is now the deputy mine director. He can't finish the approval of documents in a day. When he comes back, he has to work as a nanny...
It’s stressful just thinking about it.
He said hesitantly: "Then please invite one?"
Li Wenjun laughed so hard: "Otherwise. Do you have other good ideas?"
"If you want to invite me, please do it as soon as possible." Li Wenyong said.
Li Wenjun sighed: "I can suddenly change it somewhere..."
Speaking of which, it's really hard to find someone. People in this era have not yet changed their minds. Most people would rather go hungry than serve others in their homes.
Li Wenyong said: "Let's talk it through to my parents first. Now that my father needs someone to take care of him, my parents can't work too hard. It's a good time to raise this matter."
------
Huo Duanming's family came to Li Wenyong to apologize for throwing feces in front of his house. Li Wenyong knew that they didn't really want to apologize, but that Huo Duanming's certificate of death in the line of duty had to be signed by him before it could be approved.
Although I feel that Huo Duanming brought it upon himself, everyone is dead. He didn't want to embarrass his family either. Considering that such a large labor force is suddenly gone, the family members will naturally take whatever money they can get from the mine. He can understand it too.
And Huo Duanming did ask Guo Jianguang. In theory, there is nothing wrong with it.
So Li Wenyong finally signed the certificate.
------
Li Wenjun and Li Wenyong made an appointment to take turns buying breakfast. Then they thought that one, three, five, two, and four was quite troublesome, so they finally brought Tao Guangming along. One person's turn for one day.
This morning I started with Tao Guangming.
Early in the morning, Tao Guangming was pulled up from the quilt by Li Wenjun. He stuffed a bunch of thermos pots, lunch boxes, enamel jars and meal tickets into his hands, and asked him to buy breakfast for nine people.
Tao Guangming left cursing, then came back cursing again, put down his breakfast, took his and Ji Rushi's share and went back.
While eating breakfast, Li Wenjun winked at Li Wenyong.
Li Wenyong was so helpless: That's the bad thing about being the boss, he was responsible for all bad things.
Li Wenyong coughed dryly and said, "Um, parents. Let me tell you some good news."
Liu Cuihong looked at him: Besides becoming the deputy mine director, is there any better news?
Li Wenyong said: "Dongmei is pregnant."
Liu Cuihong took a breath and turned to look at Liu Dongmei: "Dongmei, really? When did it happen?"
Liu Dongmei's face turned red with embarrassment: "It's been two months."
Li Wenjun had to admire Li Wenyong, who was still very strong in some aspects, such as discussing matters with Liu Cuihong and Li Changming. He first talked about the pregnancy.
Li Wenjun hurriedly struck while the iron was hot and said, "Gu Zhanyan is also pregnant, about the same time." He helped Liu Cuihong sit down to prevent her from getting too excited.
Liu Cuihong was stunned, and then started to laugh: "Oh my, that's great. God sees that we have been so unlucky recently, and he has sent us good news one after another."
Upon hearing this, Liu Dongmei grabbed Gu Zhanyan's hand and said, "Oh, that's great. We can do prenatal check-ups together then."
Gu Zhanyan pursed her lips: "No, this time, I have company."
Li Wenyong added: "Mom, look. Dad is now in a wheelchair, and he has to follow him in everything he does. It will take a hundred days for his muscles and bones to be broken, and it will take at least three months to half a year to fully recover. Now Teacher Gu and Dongmei are back again She's pregnant. She needs someone to take care of her. Young Master and I are busy, so why don't we hire someone to help with housework?"
Liu Cuihong was a little moved.
But when Li Changming heard this, he shook his head like a rattle: "What are you talking about? Your mother used to serve seven or eight people by herself. Besides, Dongmei and Zhanyan can't do anything. We are a working class family. How can working people be like capitalists and still hire servants at home? Besides, where will they live? I don’t like having many strangers at home."
When Liu Cuihong heard this, she could only say: "It's okay, I can do it."
Li Wenyong pursed his lips and exchanged helpless looks with Li Wenjun.
Li Wenyong said: "How about I divide the work into two. You choose one of washing clothes or washing dishes. Mom cooks and cleans."
Although I don't wash clothes every day, it is quite painful to wash clothes for seven or eight people. Moreover, Gu Zhanyan likes to be clean and will take a shower every two or three days even when it is the coldest. You can use hot water to wash dishes, but it's not always easy to use hot water to wash clothes.
Although washing dishes is easier, you have to wash them twice a day, every day.
Li Wenjun thought for a while and said, "I'll do the laundry."
Liu Dongmei smiled: "I can still do the work of washing dishes and clothes."
Gu Zhanyan said: "Yes, it's no problem to buy food and cook."
Then Li Wenjun and Li Wenyong said together: "No."
Liu Cuihong said to Liu Dongmei and Gu Zhanyan: "Let them work together. If you don't do it now, you won't have the chance to do it in the future."
Liu Cuihong asked Liu Dongmei: "Have you told your mother's family?"
Liu Dongmei said shyly: "Not yet, I plan to tell them after a while."
Liu Cuihong: "It's better to say it earlier. After all, it's a big deal."
Liu Dongmei nodded: "Okay."
Liu Cuihong turned to look at Gu Zhanyan, wanting to say the same thing, but suddenly realized that Gu Zhanyan had not contacted her mother's family since she came to the mining area, and no family members even came to attend the wedding. Gu Zhanyan would have to call her back, which would make her sad again.
The key point is that she doesn't even know whether Gu Zhanyan has any relatives.
Liu Cuihong made up her mind and said: "Zhanyan should pay attention to rest, let Diandian sleep less with Jun, or sleep alone, be careful of kicking Diandian in the stomach."
Gu Zhanyan knew in his heart the reason for Liu Cuihong's pause just now, but pretended not to notice and smiled: "Now Diandian is happy to sleep in her own little bed."
She turned around and asked Diandian: "Right, Diandian."
Nodding: "Yes."
