Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

While it doesn't have to be so extreme as to completely forbid any movement, caution is still necessary.

Especially in the first three months, and then as you get closer to giving birth, you need to take a month or two off in advance.

As for letting Yingzi stay at home, that's definitely not an option.

She wouldn't agree, and Yang Jianguo wouldn't do that either.

Keeping a pregnant woman on a heated brick bed is something only a fool would do.

If that's the case, even healthy children will develop health problems.

During the first three months, around the time of the expected delivery, you and your family need to take good care of yourselves.

The rest of the time, just do whatever you want.

Don't overwork yourself, just keep an eye on your stomach.

If you really want to raise a baby with a large head, or if the mother is overweight, with current technology...

"We've got a deal, you'd better be careful at work."

"Or I could just get involved."

"However, I'll ask Sister Fu to talk to the union and women's federation over there and ask them to keep an eye on things for me on a regular basis."

Upon hearing that he also wanted to contact the labor union and the women's federation, Yingzi was both amused and exasperated: "No need, really no need."

"Don't try to make things special, what will my friends think of me later?"

"Besides, you wouldn't want me to fall behind, would you?"

For every unit to be 'advanced,' there must be a 'backward' one. Some units evaluate performance monthly, while others do it quarterly.

At most, every six months, an evaluation must be conducted.

Whoever gets the "advanced worker" award shines in the factory.

Everyone who sees him greets him with a smile and offers a few words of praise.

If you're labeled a "backward person," your neighbors will gossip about you when you get home.

"Is he a lazy bum? Did the company label him a 'backward' employee?"

"Really? Then let's stay away from each other..."

"Let's go, hurry up, don't linger here, it's bad luck!"

If someone gives you a cold shoulder to your face, you can only suffer in silence.

That's how realistic our attitude is towards those who are backward.

Yang Jianguo chuckled and said, "How can we be considered backward? With the number of hours you work, how are you any worse than anyone else?"

"We're no better off than other people, we're all the same." Yingzi placed the stool against the wall.

The room immediately felt much more spacious, and then she climbed onto the kang (heated brick bed) and nestled in his arms.

"Jianguo, I know you care about me. Don't worry, I'll definitely take care of myself."

"But the child is ours, not someone else's. Why should others worry about him/her? Don't you think so?"

Looking up, Yingzi gave him a reward and said happily, "Listen to me, your wife isn't that delicate."

Well, she's managed to talk Yang Jianguo into submission.

Can we do whatever you say?

"Well, don't worry."

Yingzi happily lowered her head and touched her belly: "This child is destined for good fortune."

Early in the morning, before Yingzi had even gotten up, she heard some noise coming from inside the house.

When I opened my eyes in a daze, I saw a figure standing by the stove.

brush~

Yingzi sat up and recognized him after a closer look.

Is it your own man?

When I turned around and touched the kang (a heated brick bed), there he was.

"Jianguo, why are you up?" Yingzi asked, walking down the street while still dressed.

Ever since he bought the cast iron coal stove, the water pipes in the house have been burning hot.

The walls and beams were wrapped around the room several times, making the whole room warm and cozy.

Even if you're just wearing a light shirt at home, you'll start sweating if you run around for a few steps.

"Make breakfast, go back to bed and sleep a little longer."

Yang Jianguo put down the beaten eggs and then stirred the soaking batter.

This batter should be smooth and slippery, with lumps smaller than grains of rice.

That requires repeated stirring, soaking, and stirring again.

Wait until the dough is smooth and sticky.

Then slowly pull it into strands and put it into the pot with boiling water.

The cooked porridge is smooth and delicious.

Crack another scrambled egg into it and sprinkle some salt.

Tsk tsk~

"I'll do it, don't bother." Yingzi finished tying her hair and immediately tried to take over his job.

Yang Jianguo turned around to dodge, then turned back with a smile and said, "Don't try to take this from me. I'm going to show you something today."

"I'll still do it for you regularly, but I can just indulge myself occasionally, okay?"

Seeing that she was still somewhat reluctant, Yang Jianguo continued, "Your husband's cooking skills can't be wasted, can they?"

Yingzi chuckled, covered her mouth with her hand, and spat, "You're so glib, I can't argue with you."

Yang Jianguo raised an eyebrow and laughed, "Hey~ who's really losing the argument between us?"

Yesterday, he was left speechless.

"Okay, you do it, I'll tidy up the room." Yingzi turned around and went back to fold the quilt and sweep the kang (a heated brick bed).

After finishing, he splashed water on the ground and swept it clean with a broom.

After finishing all that, I casually crumpled up Yang Jianguo's towel and hung it on the top section of the pipe at the base of the wall.

Yang Jianguo was even busier than when he got up early to cook breakfast.

Wasn't all my effort for nothing?

Alright, wife!

I give up, I surrender, we'll do as you say.

Here, the food is served on the table, and I see pure white porridge and white steamed buns in the bowl.

Homemade shredded potatoes, stir-fried cabbage with vinegar, and pickled mustard greens, served in small dishes in front of each person.

Good things come in pairs, and meals come in pairs.

Having only three dishes on the table doesn't sound good.

"Don't you care about these things?" Yingzi asked, biting into her steamed bun, feeling both proud and distressed.

He was pleased that he still couldn't win against me and that I wasn't treated like a child.

Feeling distressed...

The white flour paste in front of me is used to make pure white steamed buns.

If we let her cook, we might eat several more meals!

After feeling smug and heartbroken, it felt like a jar of candy had been opened in my heart.

It kept oozing sweetness...

"Hehe~" Yang Jianguo scratched his head and didn't say anything.

We're not the kind of people who make excuses; it didn't matter before.

Is it different now?

Originally, he was indifferent to everything, and his gaze towards the world was cold.

Later, after he went on a blind date with Yingzi and got married, things gradually got better.

It was from that time that he began to change.

They returned the table to Sha Zhu to repay his favor, allowing Yan Bugui's family to gain a small advantage.

Gradually integrating into this world.

The moment I thought about her being pregnant, me having a child, and becoming a father.

The cold, black-and-white world suddenly became vibrant and bright.

Even the air radiates a dreamlike glow of various colors.

I am Yang Jianguo.

I'm having a baby...

Riding his bike behind Yingzi, watching her back, Yang Jianguo couldn't stop laughing.

Yang Jianguo didn't even get out of the car when he dropped her off at the factory gate.

He rode his bike around in circles in front of the door until Yingzi stomped her foot angrily: "Why are you like this?"

Yang Jianguo smiled smugly and pressed the bell: "Let's go."

His two legs, like pistons, 'whooshed' as he pedaled into the factory.

As soon as I parked my car in the shed, I ran into Li Yaoguo, who was riding in on his bicycle.

"Hey~ It's so late tonight, that's unusual!" Li Yaoguo propped up the car and looked at him with amusement.

"I'll be working this late every day from now on. I need to get some rest. I'm too tired," Yang Jianguo replied with a smile.

Li Yaoguo's expression changed, and he nodded strangely: "Hmm~ that's right, that's right. After all, we just got married, it's normal to be tired."

"But Jian Guo, you must be restrained when you're young, I wouldn't dare..."

"roll!"

Yang Jianguo laughed and scolded in an annoyed tone, "Fine, you say you're an honest man, but you're doing this to me?"

"Next time you get a job, you'll see how I deal with you."

Li Yaoguo grinned and ran outside, smugly saying, "You think that kind of work happens every day? We'll talk about it when the time comes!"

"Buzz~ Hello everyone, this is announcer Yu Haitang. It's 7:51 AM Beijing time..."

"The following is an announcement: all staff of the Special Workshop, please assemble at the Special Workshop before 7:55 for a meeting."

"I'm notifying everyone in the special operations workshop again..."

Li Yaoguo's face fell instantly as he ran outside.

Holy crap, does this guy have to be this unlucky?

Looking back at Yang Jianguo, he was walking forward with his hands behind his back and a mocking expression.

"Hehe, the founding of the nation..."

"Too late, you're not getting away this time."

Following behind him dejectedly, Li Yaoguo thought to himself, 'This trip is going to be exhausting for me.'

A mission has arrived!

Moreover, this time it's related to a 'boiler'.
