Chapter 158 - 158

Chapter 158 Happy Event"Little sister, all those scarves, shawls, and gloves you gave me have been sold off. Lots of people have come to ask about them!" Yun Shuwhispered to her little sister.She really benefited from her younger sister's success this time, making a considerable sum of money, equivalent to a month's salary for her."Sis, next time I have the chance, I'll bring you more.""Okay, if it's too difficult, then forget it." Although she wanted to make money, she didn't want to make things difficult for her sister."It's alright, I know what I'm doing. The policies are starting to loosen now."Her sister works at the Supply and Marketing Cooperative, but she'll be laid off in a few years. She thinks her sister has a talent for business, and she'll definitely help her out then.The next day was the second day of the Lunar New Year, the day when daughters bring their sons-in-law back to their parents' home.Early in the morning, Mother Yun had prepared New Year's gifts for her son and daughter-in-law. Yun Zhao, along with his wife and daughter, went to his mother-in-law's house to pay their respects for the New Year."Mom, we'll try to come back as soon as possible," Liang Dan said to Mother Yun before leaving."No rush, you can spend more time with your parents. Anyway, your older sister and her family aren't in a hurry to go back, and it's not far."Mother Yun is an impeccable mother-in-law. She always puts others first, so she gets along very well with In-laws and her daughter-in-law, and there are no conflicts.Liang Dan is an only child. Her parents only have her as their daughter. Putting themselves in her shoes, they would think how lonely it would be if their daughter got married and left home alone. So every time Liang Dan goes back to her parents' home, her mother Yun tells her to stay home and spend more time with them.Not long after Yun Zhao and his family of three left, Yun Shu and his family of four arrived."You just happened to miss your older brother and the others.""We met my older brother and sister-in-law halfway there."Jiang Dong took the New Year's gifts to the store; there were three catties of pork, a bag of eggs, and canned malted milk extract —quite a generous gift indeed."You guys are always so stubborn. What are you going to do with all this stuff? Are you trying to ruin your lives? Save up some money. When these two boys are a little older, you'll understand.""Mom, we know. It's not like we buy it every day. Your son-in-law is being filial to you, so why aren't you happy?""You! I can't argue with you, Dongzi. Listen to your mother, don't buy so much next time."Jiang Dong smiled and said, "Mom, it's nothing, it's not much."Well, this son-in-law is just like his daughter.Indeed, Jiang Dong is a good person. He treatsYun Shu very well and shows great respect to her family.He works in purchasing and can usually get a lot of good stuff. His parents also have retirement pensions, so it's like four people's salaries supporting two children, and there's not much pressure.Yun Shu then pulled her younger sister into the room to talk."Sister, what do you think of this fabric? Isn't it pretty? I'll take it home and make you a dress."Yun Ting proudly spread a piece of light pink fabric adorned with pale yellow roses on the bed.Yun Shu picked up the pink rose-patterned fabric, ran her fingertips along the petal pattern, and said with a smile, "This pattern is really pretty, much prettier than what our Supply and Marketing Cooperative sells!" As she spoke, she held the fabric up to Yun Ting, saying, "This fabric suits you perfectly, it will definitely fit you well. I'll make you a cover-up and sew on a small collar. Wear it out in the spring, and I guarantee you'll stand out!""Sis, I have more! This is for you, don't refuse, or you won't consider me your sister.""Okay, okay, I'll do it myself. I'll enjoy my little sister's filial piety too, haha..."The two sisters chatted in the room for a while, and when they heard Mother Yun busy in the kitchen, they went out to help.As soon as Yun Shu entered the kitchen, she smelled the fishy smell and rushed out. She went outside to the yard and dry heaved for a while, but couldn't vomit, which terrified Jiang Dong."Honey, how are you? Should we go to the clinic to get it checked out?"The whole family is focused on moving forward.Mother Yun suddenly remembered something and whispered to her daughter, "Have you had your period this month?"Yun Shu paused for a moment, then remembered that her period was half a month late, and suddenly wondered if she might be pregnant.She didn't actually plan to have any more children; she felt that having two children was enough. However, if she did get pregnant, she would definitely have the baby."Mom, I'm going to the health center first, I'll be back later."When Mother Yun heard her say that, she knew what was going on. "Okay, slow down! Don't rush."Jiang Dong took out his bicycle and carried Yun Shu to the health center."Grandma, what's wrong with my mom? Is she sick?" Xiao Rui and Xiao Rui were about to cry."Your mom is fine, she'll be back soon, don't worry!"Yun Ting also realized that her older sister might be pregnant again.Only Father Yun and his two sons looked at each other, not knowing what was going on. They only thought that Yun Shu was not feeling well and were very worried.Because it's still uncertain, Mother Yun didn't say anything, but we'll know when she gets back.The mother and daughter then went back to the kitchen to continue their work.Xiao Zhi, who was just playing with his uncle, is now sitting quietly. Xiao Rui, who was reading a comic book, is now worried about his mother and has lost interest.When Jiang Dong, beaming with joy, helped Yun Shu in.Xiao Rui and Xiao Zhi rushed over immediately.Jiang Dong quickly stopped them, "Be careful, don't bump into your mother, she has a little sister in her belly."Where can I find a little sister?Hearing the commotion, Mother Yun came out and asked, "Are you really pregnant?"Yun Shu smiled and nodded."Great! Haha... Today is a really good day. We'll have a few more drinks later." Father Yun said happily.Mother Yun rolled her eyes at him, annoyed. "I think you're just using this as an excuse to drink."The whole family was overjoyed by the news.Yun Ting was happy for her older sister. Although she felt that three children were a bit too many, it was normal for this era. Actually, it's good to have children now, because in a few years, with the one-child policy, people won't be able to have children even if they want to.However, I don't know if my older brother and sister-in-law are planning to have another child.Yun Shu was once again treated like a porcelain doll. When they returned, Mother Yun was worried about Jiang Dong riding his bicycle with the three of them, so she asked Yun Huai to ride her bicycle to take her two nephews. Yun Huainaturally agreed."I don't know if your older brother and sister-in-law are planning to have more children. I'll be retiring next year, so I can help take care of them then.""Mom and Dad, I heard from people in Capital City that with the reform and opening up, there will be a wave of layoffs, factories will reduce staff and lay off workers, and many people will lose their jobs. So, you and your brother need to make plans.""No way? These are all state-owned factories, how could they go bankrupt?" Mother Yun asked anxiously.Father Yun frowned slightly. "It's hard to say. I read in the newspapers that the market economy might change in the future due to reform and opening up."Father Yun often reads the newspapers and has heard others discuss it. Looking at the situation outside, what his daughter said is not impossible. It seems that he still needs to be prepared at all times and make plans in advance."Girl, what do you mean?"He didn't believe that his daughter would tell them these things for no reason; she must have had a plan or idea behind it."Becoming a self-employed individual means seizing the opportunity and being among the first to try something new, but there's no rush now."
