Before going to the base, Yunjin and Xiaoniangao went to find Li Aimei.

Since starting work, Li Aimei and her husband have had little time to rest. They are both busy with their work in the hospital and often have to work night shifts, so they have no time to come and play with Yun Jin and the others.

I bought some food and drinks and went to the hospital, waiting to go find Li Aimei during the lunch break.

Li Aimei saw the mother and daughter stunned for a moment, then she excitedly trotted towards them. Halfway through the run, she realized something and protected her belly with one hand.

Anyone who has been pregnant knows what Li Aimei's gesture means. Yun Jin raised an eyebrow and the first thing she asked when they met was, "How many months?"

"It's been more than three months. I wanted to take a break this week and go to the compound to see you. Why are you here?" Li Aimei smiled embarrassedly.

Yun Jin smiled and said, "I'm going to stay at the base for about a month tomorrow, and I wanted to come and see you."

"That's fine. Brother Chuan is alone at the base and misses you and your daughter!" Li Aimei said, "I don't have anything to bring back. You don't need to tell them about my situation here. If they ask, just say I'm fine."

Yun Jin nodded: "Let's go and have dinner together."

Li Aimei smiled and said, "Let's go to the hospital cafeteria. There's a clay pot noodle that tastes good. Sister-in-law, try it."

Yun Jin followed Li Aimei's arrangements. She was familiar with the hospital cafeteria and ordered a bowl of casserole noodles for each of the mother and daughter, as well as quail eggs, meat slices, and vegetables. It tasted really good.

Li Aimei made herself a bowl of white porridge: "I have a poor appetite now and can't eat greasy food."

"It will be fine after a while." Yun Jin suddenly thought of something and asked, "You're pregnant, and both you and your wife have to go to work. What will you do when you have a baby? Who will take care of you?"

"The child's father plans to bring his mother over to take care of me during the confinement period and raise the child. When the child is older, he will be sent to a nursery. The child's father and I will continue to work, which will only make the elderly suffer." Li Aimei and the others have thought it through.

I knew that if there was no other way, I could only ask my sister-in-law for help.

Fortunately, I have a mother-in-law who is willing to come to Beijing to take care of me.

The only regret is that I have no place to live.

The dormitories are all collective and are not suitable for confinement after childbirth, and there is no need to have a mother-in-law.

It’s not a good idea to stay in a hotel all the time, it’s too expensive.

Even at half price it's not cheap, as her mother-in-law has been here for more than one day or two days.

Yun Jin thought for a moment and said, "I have a courtyard house a bit far from your hospital. Fortunately, it's empty right now. If you have nowhere else to go, you can clean it up and stay there for a few months to recuperate after giving birth. You can move out when you get your share of the house or buy one."

Li Aimei couldn't refuse at all. She looked at Yun Jin with gratitude, her eyes moist: "Thank you, sister-in-law. I won't be polite with you. I'll pay you the rent."

"Okay, I'll charge you five dollars a month." Yun Jin didn't lack the five dollars. The main thing was that after receiving the money, he and his wife would live in peace.

Li Aimei knew that her sister-in-law was just taking the money out of consideration, and she was secretly smiling because she could rent a courtyard house for five yuan.

After lunch, Yun Jin took Xiao Nian Gao and Li Aimei and her husband to see the courtyard. She drove there so she could take them with her, but she had to go to the base tomorrow and didn't have time to show them around.

First, she went back to the compound to get the house key. He's parents were taking a nap, so Yun Jin didn't wake them up. She just took the key and left.

When we arrived at the courtyard, it was indeed a bit far from the hospital, about seven or eight kilometers away. Fortunately, there was a bus that went directly to the hospital, but the ride took a bit long.

When they thought about the family living together and the mother-in-law being able to stay, Li Aimei and Zhang Qingwei had nothing to say.

Such a nice courtyard, what's wrong with being a little far away?

The four of them walked around the courtyard, and Yun Jin said, "As long as it doesn't disrupt the layout, you can live however you want. I'll renovate it later."

"Thank you, sister-in-law!" Li Aimei took the house key and looked at the spacious courtyard house. She couldn't even imagine that she could still live in a courtyard house.

Li Aimei asked curiously, "How much did you buy this courtyard house, sister-in-law?"

Yun Jin didn't hide it: "I bought it early, spent 2,800 on it, and it's probably worth more than that now."

The price of Siheyuan is getting more expensive every year. The price is rising slowly now, but it will skyrocket after 2000.

However, compared with the current per capita income, 2,800 yuan is not cheap. It would take an ordinary person several years to save that much.

Li Aimei calculated her and Zhang Qingwei's savings and found that even if they saved for seven or eight years, they might not be able to save enough for two or three thousand yuan. Their salary at the hospital was still not as much as their previous salary at the disco.

However, they have studied for so many years and cannot waste what they have learned.

Li Aimei knew that doing business was the most profitable. She knew this from her previous experience selling small commodities.

Looking at the Siheyuan, Li Aimei liked it very much: "Next time if I see a Siheyuan for sale, I also want to buy one. If I don't have enough money, sister-in-law, can you lend me some money? I will save money and pay you back."

"Okay!" Yun Jin agreed with a smile.

She doesn't like to plot secretly, she likes people like Li Aimei who speak her mind directly.

Borrowing money means borrowing money. Don’t be evasive or default on your debt. You must repay the money you borrow.

After watching for a while, Li Aimei and the others had to go to work, so Yun Jin drove them there so that they had time to clean and tidy up before moving in. Yun Jin had already asked someone to renovate the tiles and courtyard walls in advance.

The courtyard houses are all in good condition and can be occupied.

Originally, Yun Jin was planning to be unhappy living in the compound, so she brought Xiao Nian Gao to live here, or even stay in a hotel.

Later, Brother He and his wife were driven out.

He Ziqian and his wife were also kicked out of the house.

There were only them, mother and son, He Zizhen, and He's parents in the compound. They had no conflicts at all and lived happily and lively. They didn't have to worry about food and drink, as He's mother arranged everything. That's why she was reluctant to move out!

Now Li Aimei needs a house, and Yun Jin generously lets them live there first. After all, Li Aimei is a good kid, and Yun Jin is willing to help her.

After returning home, Yun Jin told He's parents that Li Aimei and her husband were coming over for dinner, so she went to buy some food. She also told He's mother that Li Aimei was pregnant.

Mother He smiled and said, "This is a good thing. They've been married for over half a year, so they're expecting a baby. However, they're young and have no one to rely on in Beijing, and they each live at work, so it's not very convenient for them to get pregnant."

Yun Jin told them about renting her courtyard house to them.

Mother He had no objection: "Sure, it's empty anyway, it's better if someone lives in the house. They're in trouble now, and it wouldn't hurt for you, as their sister-in-law, to help out. Li Aimei is a grateful child."

Yun Jin nodded.

After the couple bought watermelon and pastries, the food was served. They made light dishes for Li Aimei and braised pork for Zhang Qingwei. They didn't hesitate and ate a lot.

He also kept praising the delicious food at home.

After being praised, He's mother told them to come over after they had a rest and prepare delicious meals for them.

Mother He also held Li Aimei's hand and asked about her pregnancy situation. She was relieved to know that her pregnancy was stable.

When leaving, she also planned to pack some leftovers for them to take back. If there was no refrigerator, Li Aimei would really eat them all.
