Chapter 192: First Mention of Family Separation
For several days, it was Gu Youhui who helped collect payments in the store.
Before dinner that day, Gu Youhui once again presented a bag of money. After Lin Shu thanked him, he put the money into a wooden box in the closet in front of him.
“Little aunt, you have too much money and it’s not safe to leave it at home. Why don’t you deposit it in the bank for you tomorrow?”
“No, just leave it at home. Sometimes you have to pay with money at the construction site. , it’s too troublesome to deposit and withdraw.”
Lin Shu hasn't gone out for a few days and seems to be in low spirits. Gu Youhui thought that Lin Shu was away from home because of Gu Jiu, so he comforted him: "Okay then, you can take care of your younger siblings at home. You can leave it to me during the collection period at the trading bank."
Lin Shu Smiled: "Okay, I'll trouble you on this matter. , thank you.”
“You’re welcome, then, shall I go upstairs first?”
Lin Shu glanced at the canvas bag on Gu Youhui and nodded: “Okay, go ahead and do your work. .”
Gu Youhui left.
Lin Shu sat back on the crib and saw Dabao's big eyes rolling around. He sighed melancholy, "You have passed a hundred days now and can stand upright. Do you want me to help you get a reclining bed?" A small recliner? That way you can have a wider view."
Dabao looked at her, moved his limbs, and made a sound of "oh oh oh".
Lin Shu held his little hand, "Your sister is used to being wild now. She wants to go outside to play whenever she wakes up during the day. Fortunately, you like to stay at home when you have nothing to do."
" You are trying to say that there are no such small recliners for sale in this era, right?”
“But it doesn’t matter, I can pay for it to be customized. You will have a complete home in this life, and the conditions at home are not bad. You don’t have to worry about your family’s livelihood.”
Dabao looked at her expression, and he was actually very curious. Why didn't the mother ask how he and Gu Jiu met each other later? She had been holding it in for several days. If she could speak, Dabao would be unable to hold it back and tell her everything.
Lin Shu didn't know the entanglement in Xiaoren'er's heart. It didn't matter how he and Gu Jiu met each other, as long as she knew the result.
At this moment, she was thinking about what else she could do to make money in this era.
In her previous life, her abilities were limited and she raised her son entirely through hard work. Later, when her son grew up and started making money, she basically just helped with small things within her power.
She can't help at all with big things.
Lin Shu took the chubby hand and kissed it on the mouth. It was obvious that the little hand shrank slightly.
She chuckled twice: "You used to be considered the boss of a company. According to your understanding, what should I do in this era? I can make money and take care of my children, and I can make money while taking care of my children. "
Dabao was speechless, his little hand broke away from hers, pointed at her and kept shouting "Ahhhhh".
What is it about taking care of a baby and making money at the same time? Being a full-time housewife at home means making money and taking care of a baby at the same time.
There is Gu Jiu outside to help you make money and leave it to you, and you have nothing to do at home to take care of your children. Life is so comfortable.
Otherwise, wait until he grows up and make money for you to spend.
Dabao feels that his mother is destined to be rich and noble. The older he gets, the more noble he becomes, and the older he gets, the greater his blessings.
Lin Shu didn’t know what Dabao was thinking, otherwise he would have to pat his little head. Can the money earned by others be the same as the money earned by himself?
"The most important thing at the moment is you and Erbao. Wait until you are older. When our house over there is built, I will have to plan the facades on the first and second floors. I will be busy with these things."
Lin Shu now has thousands of ideas but cannot implement them. The two dolls are the most important people in her life. In her last life, she made a living in Guangdong Province, leaving early and returning late every day. It can be said that Haodaer's childhood was lonely, and she did not accompany him to grow up properly.
In this life, she doesn't want to miss their childhood and wants to accompany them to grow up.
Dabao was relieved after hearing this, as long as his mother doesn’t always think about messing around.
His father is responsible for making money in the family now, and he will be there for him when he grows up, and his mother will be responsible for just lying down.
"Little aunt, bring Dabao down for dinner."
The voice of the eldest niece Gu Chunyu came from downstairs.
Lin Shu picked up Dabao and just walked to the stairs when he heard the sound of Erbao chatting with someone downstairs.
Going downstairs, it turned out that Wang Suzhen was teasing her.
Liu Xiao'e saw her coming down and said with a smile: "Your daughter refuses to go home after she goes out. She won't come back until everyone at the stadium has gone home to eat."
After hearing this, Wang Suzhen felt that Erbao was the The villain gently poked her little face, "What's wrong with you? Now you're so young and you're playing wild. In the future, when it's freezing outside in the winter, who will go out with you?"
The nanny has already put the dishes on the table and asked everyone to come and eat.
Liu Xiao'e took the big baby from Lin Shu's arms and said, "I'll help you hold the big baby. You go and eat first."
"Mom, let me hold the big baby. You go and eat first." How could Lin Shu be so embarrassed to let the old man hold the baby? She went to eat first.
Liu Xiao'e pushed her away and urged: "Don't be polite to me, go and eat first."
Wang Suzhen also smiled and urged her: "Go and eat quickly, it's just two hours now None of the babies are crying. When you finish eating, they may have to drink milk."
Lin Shu was not humble at this time. He really had to do everything with the children while they were not crying. Even eating and going to the toilet are no exception.
"From Lao Jiu's family, Brother Jiu has been away for so many days, he should be back soon, right?"
As soon as he sat at the dining table, Gu Changsheng asked about Gu Jiu's return date.
"Should be back soon, it won't take more than ten days at most."
Gu Zhiyuan raised his head and glanced at Lin Shu, "That kid has been gone for almost twenty days, and he only called back There are two phones, it should be quite busy there."
Gu Youhui defended his uncle: "My uncle went there to collect dry goods because he had to go into the mountainous area to communicate. It is not as convenient as in the city. I have been busy going to the countryside recently to collect goods.”
"Going to the countryside to receive goods is hard work. I never thought that one day Brother Jiu would work so diligently." Gu Changsheng was quite pleased.
In the past, the youngest was the biggest headache for the couple, but now it seems that the youngest is doing well. At least they don't have to help the old couple financially.
The children in the family now have jobs and a source of income, and the burden on the old couple’s shoulders is gone.
The past six months have been the most relaxing six months of their lives.
Now that everyone in the Gu family is here, there is not enough room for everyone to sit at one table for dinner. In Gu Changsheng's opinion, he is full of children and grandchildren.
"Now Lao Jiu is married and the child has passed his 100th birthday. This time, when Brother Jiu comes back, we will choose a date and we will sit together and discuss how to separate the family."
One sentence shocked everyone. .
"Dad, why did you suddenly mention the separation of the family today? We brothers live together, and I think it is good to maintain this status quo. If the family is separated in the future, the brothers can still be as good as they are now. Dear?”
Gu Xiang, the boss, was the first to object.
When he first got married, he didn't think about breaking up. It's just that after the separation, there were too many trivial things in a family, and he didn't have the patience to take care of them.
Now, when I get home from get off work every day, I have food to eat. He doesn't have to worry about the firewood, rice, oil and salt at home. Sometimes when the work is busy, he stays in the work canteen. What a pleasant life it was.
To be honest, the advantages of dividing the family outweigh the disadvantages for the time being, and he doesn't want to divide the family.
Sister-in-law He glanced at her husband. Now that his children are older, it doesn't have much impact on her whether the family is separated or not.
The family is separated. If they don’t want to cook, they can eat in the cafeteria.
After hearing what his eldest brother said, Gu Mingqi nodded hurriedly: "Yes, Dad."
"If we brothers split up and live in a three-story house with so many rooms, we would all move out. This How empty is the house? "It's deserted."
Gu Zhiyuan also nodded: "Dad, we live together and the house is lively."
Gu's second sister-in-law Li Ling and Gu's third sister-in-law Jiang Chaohong don't want to separate now. Still young.
Especially for the three-bedroom children, one is in first grade and the other is in kindergarten. If the family is separated, she not only has to go to work and pick up and drop off the children, but she also has to cook, wash and mop the floor when she gets home.
How could she be so relaxed now? She would have food to eat when she got home from get off work, and all she had to do at home was take care of her two children.
The last thing Jiang Chaohong wants to do is to split up and live in a work dormitory. That kind of tube building is not as comfortable as living in a villa in the compound.
"A big tree divides its branches, and a big people divides a family. Sooner or later, this family will be divided, and it is better to be divided sooner than later. If we divide the family early, your mother and I can live a quiet life for a few days."
Gu Changsheng He raised his hand to stop the boss who wanted to speak, "Don't say anything about the excitement of living together. The excitement is really hot. It’s annoying, but it’s really annoying.”
“Although the family has hired a nanny, your mother has so many things to worry about every day, whether it’s a family, a work unit, or a group, the one who does the logistics is often the most important. It’s hard work. Your mother has worked hard all her life and it’s time for a few days of peace.”
Jiang Chaohong was reluctant to split up and move out, and pointed to the huge villa upstairs and downstairs, "Dad, you said splitting up. After the splitting up, the rooms upstairs will not be empty. What a pity. Besides, the children I don’t want to leave my grandparents either, so it’s better to separate the family. Let’s talk about it later?”
“Dad, we don’t want to separate the family. The children can’t live in the dormitory of the work unit.” Larger rooms need to be divided into several rooms. Her family has many children, and with the partitions, it may be difficult to turn around in a room except for the bed.
They are used to living in three-story villas, and if they are asked to live in a cramped tube building, they will never get used to it.
Gu Changsheng did not expect that when he proposed to separate the family, no one in the family agreed to the separation.
He looked at Gu Xiang: "Boss, don't forget. Your Youtao is already twenty-two, and Youhui is also twenty. They are both at the age when they should find someone to marry. It's impossible for your son to get married, and you still want to Would you like to live with me as a grandpa?"
Gu Xiang muttered: "There is nothing wrong with my grandson living with his grandpa. Damn it, doesn't living together mean that our family has a good relationship?"
Gu Changsheng snorted: "Let me ask you, if one day Youtao Youhui and the others bring someone back or get married, are you going to arrange for them to live together? Where? "
Don't forget, brothers Youtao and Youhui live in the same room now.
At this point, Gu Xiang did not worry about future generations of parents. He replied confidently: "What's the difficulty? If they want to get married, Yutao will not be assigned an employer now that he has graduated from college. Let him apply to the employer when the time comes. Dormitory, the young couple will live in the work dormitory after getting married.”
Gu Changsheng asked: "What about Youhui?"
"Youhui?" Gu Xiang looked at his second son and joked: "Now when I see him outside, I have to address him as Boss Gu. He has a lot of money and can just buy a house outside and get married."
Gu Changsheng laughed angrily at him, "As a father, you are a good deal-breaker. Shopkeeper, if I'm like you, I'll kick you all out now and let you fend for yourself outside."
Gu Youhui replied: "Dad, separate me and my brother. Who will mom take care of in old age?"
Gu Xiang looked at the old man and said with a smile, "I will take care of you in old age with your grandparents."
Gu Changsheng sighed in his heart, "If you live with me and your mother in old age, will we take care of you, or will you take care of us?"
Gu Xiang obviously risked his life in order not to separate the family this time. "What's so difficult about this? Ask a nanny to take care of you, and then ask a nanny to take care of us."
Lin Shu listened to their conversation and looked at Gu Xiang in amazement. This was the first time she knew that her eldest brother Gu Xiang is so thick-skinned.
Tsk, do they think they are gnawing at their old age?
Gu Changsheng suddenly turned around and asked Lin Shu: "My youngest, what do you think of the split?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Shu instantly became the focus of the entire restaurant.
She smiled at everyone: "I listen to dad. But now we want to support your decision, and we don't have anywhere to move for the time being. How about we live here first?"
Gu Changsheng He gave her a funny look and said, "You can't do anything wrong."
Jiang Chaohong: "Dad, Jiu Geer and the others are temporarily living here, and we have no place to live. We won't be able to apply for dormitories in the unit for a while, and we won't be able to move for the time being."
Lin Shu He quickly put the last bite of rice in the bowl into his mouth and got up to take care of the child.
Gu Changsheng did not expect the family separation to be successful this time.
When I mentioned the matter of family separation today, the most important thing was to make my sons feel prepared.
“Since you are all here making excuses for not dividing the family, then the family can not be divided now, but the household expenses are high and there are many things to do. It is impossible for a nanny to be busy at home, and your mother cannot be too busy. Tired.”
“Well, since you don’t want to split up, then we can do it at home. Hire a nanny. The living expenses will be shared equally between the two of you. The living expenses will be increased from ten yuan per person per month to fifteen yuan per person per month. Of course, except for the children, they will still be charged five yuan per month. ”
When living expenses increase, the ones least affected are probably Dafang and Lin Shu.
The reason for the big house is that the children have grown up and are working to earn money. The burden is small and they are happy to pay some food expenses to avoid having to separate the family.
As for Lin Shu, it was entirely because he earned so much every month that the 40 yuan monthly food expense had no impact on them.
Besides, she carries fish and meat home every now and then, and she spends a lot of money on it every month.
Since we are a family, Lin Shu has never cared about this little money.
There are four children in two bedrooms. For the couple plus the children, the monthly food expenses will cost fifty yuan.
It's like Gu Mingqi's entire salary went into the food expense hole.
Other expenses of their small family can only be supplemented by Li Ling's salary.
With three bedrooms and two children, a month’s food expenses cost 40 yuan.
Although it is ten yuan less than the second house, Jiang Chaohong's salary is more than twenty yuan less than Li Ling's.
Save one person's salary, the children at home have to go to school and pay tuition, and the family can buy clothing, pants, shoes, socks and other daily necessities for a year, plus the exchange of favors.
It can be said that after one year, the two people will not have much money left in their salary.
Li Ling and Jiang Chaohong calculated the score in their minds, and their faces darkened instantly.
Gu Changsheng pretended not to notice his daughter-in-law's expression. As for their son, they did not dare to object and voted unanimously.
Thank you **小情* for your monthly ticket support~
