country bumpkin

In Lin Junhui's home in the city, Kong Xiufang is seven months pregnant and has now resigned from her job.

She hadn't originally planned to quit her job, but her mother-in-law, Song Shiyue, doted on her unborn child and persuaded her to quit.

Anyway, Lin Junhui's current job pays quite well, more than 200 yuan a month. At its peak, it can reach 300 yuan.

Even ordinary workers who work full attendance can earn between 80 and 100 yuan.

New employees who just joined the factory are paid during their probationary period, and they can earn 50 yuan a month.

The work Kong Xiujin does is not tiring, and she can earn 60 yuan a month.

Lin Junhui can easily support her and their child on his own. Her mother-in-law, Song Shiyue, earns 50 yuan a month working at a restaurant. They don't need Lin Junhui's money at all.

Kong Xiufang had saved some money herself. She left half to her mother when she got married and brought the other half with her. She thought that having some money on hand would keep her calm in case of an emergency.

After getting married, Lin Junhui cherished Kong Xiufang even more. He spoiled her rotten. He wouldn't let her do any of the small chores around the house.

Kong Xiufang felt that Lin Junhui was spoiling her rotten. She advised Lin Junhui, "Doctors say that more exercise is good for your health and for the baby. So I'll do more housework from now on. I can't let you go to work to earn money and then come home to do housework. Your body won't be able to handle it in the long run."

Lin Junhui affectionately stroked her hair, smiled broadly, and gently kissed her forehead.

The two were so engrossed in their romance that they didn't notice Song Shiyue hadn't returned yet. She usually comes home around 7 PM, but it's already 8:30 today.

Kong Xiufang's stomach rumbled, and she felt a little hungry. Looking at the time, she realized her mother-in-law hadn't returned yet.

Kong Xiufang glanced at the clock again, a hint of worry creeping into her heart. "Junhui, Mother hasn't come back yet, could something have happened?"

Lin Junhui frowned and said, "I'll go check out the restaurant right now."

Lin Junhui pedaled his bicycle toward the small restaurant with a heart full of fear and trepidation.

When I arrived at the restaurant, I found it in a complete mess.

He searched everywhere for his mother and finally found her among some broken plates and bowls.

The boss and the chef stood in front of his mother, shielding her and protecting her. Lin Junhui finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It turned out that a drunk customer was causing trouble, insisting that Song Shiyue drink with him. When Song Shiyue refused, the man started smashing plates and bowls.

The boss called the police, and they are handling the situation. Song Shiyue looked exhausted when she saw her son arrive.

Lin Junhui helped his mother up with heartache and said, "Mom, are you alright? Let's go home."

Before leaving, Lin Junhui thanked the boss and chef for protecting his mother from danger.

After returning home, Kong Xiufang rushed over to inquire about the situation.

Song Shiyue waved her hand, "It's nothing serious, I just ran into an unreasonable drunkard."

Lin Junhui said angrily, "Mom, if this kind of thing keeps happening, we should quit."

Song Shiyue shook her head. "No, although our family's income is okay now, it's always good to earn more. Besides, I can't bear to part with the restaurant's regular customers. The boss and the chef are protecting me, so I'll be fine."

Kong Xiufang held her mother-in-law's hand. "Mom, we'll be more careful together from now on, but please don't overwork yourself."

The family comforted each other, and the tense atmosphere gradually eased.

Kong Xiufang thought for a moment and then said, "Mom, after I give birth and finish my postpartum confinement, I will go back to work, and you can stay home to take care of the baby. That way, you'll have more free time."

Song Shiyue did not refuse and said, "Okay, that's fine too. You young people earn more than me, and I have more experience taking care of the children at home than you young people."

Lin Junhui smiled and said, "Yes, this arrangement is quite good. Fangfang is very clever."

Kong Xiufang gave him a coquettish glare, a look so charming that it made Lin Junhui feel refreshed and happy.

Song Shiyue was just as happy; she had always been smiling since her son got married. Before, after her husband passed away, the family was poor, and she was always worried that her son wouldn't be able to find a wife.

I never dreamed my son would marry such a wonderful woman. She's beautiful, virtuous, and filial. She's finally met her expectations.

Their family is harmonious, warm, and happy.

The Su family was harmonious and happy. However, their happiness stemmed from the arrival of a little princess.

Tian Yanyan found out she was pregnant on the sixth day of the first lunar month, and the baby was born on the tenth day of the ninth lunar month. The baby is now five days old. Tian Yanyan is currently in her postpartum confinement period.

Su Ze's heart melted as he looked at the soft, cuddly little princess. He was incredibly excited looking at his daughter on the bed, but he didn't dare to hug her.

He was afraid he might clumsily hurt the child. His mother scoffed at him, "Go, go, go, go over there and see your wife. Leave the child to me."

After saying that, she pushed her son closer to her daughter-in-law's bed. She then picked up her granddaughter and cuddled her affectionately.

"Tsk tsk tsk... Look, look how pretty my little granddaughter is. Her little eyes and nose are like Yan Yan's, and her little mouth is like A Ze's."

She held her granddaughter for a long time, then gently rocked her in her arms, "Oh my, the baby is smiling, the baby is smiling..." The room was filled with Su's mother's joyful voice.

Upon hearing this, Su Qing quickly ran over and looked at her little niece in her mother's arms with great affection.

She called out to her mother in a spoiled tone, "Mom, my dear mother, can I hold my little niece? I want to hold her too, she's so cute!"

Su's mother rolled her eyes at her: "You want to hold him? Do you even know how to hold a baby? You've never held a baby before, I'm not falling for that."

Su Qing looked at her mother pleadingly, "Mom, please let me hug you! I'll be careful."

Su's mother still firmly objected, saying, "If you want to hold her, then wait a little longer. The baby is too young to handle things right now. Wait until after the day banquet, when she's stronger, then you can hold her."

Su Qing looked at her mother helplessly; there was nothing she could do but wait. She couldn't hug her, but she could at least play with her little niece.

The child had been rocked to sleep by Su's mother, who gently placed the child on the bed.

Su Qing lay by the bedside, looking at her sleeping niece, feeling an indescribable fondness in her heart.

The little one, with eyes closed and lips pouting, is even pursing his lips in his sleep, as if he's drinking milk.

The more she looked at it, the cuter it became. Su Qing was pleasantly surprised and wanted to burst out laughing, but she tried her best to hold it back, though she couldn't suppress the smile on her lips.

Seeing that her granddaughter had fallen asleep, Su's mother waved her hand and told her daughter to go out and not wake the child.

Su Qing wanted to watch for a while longer, but her mother pulled her out of the house.

Tian Yanyan was also sleepy and yawned. She rolled over a few times, then slipped into the covers, ready to sleep.

Su Ze was still reluctant to leave and stayed by his wife's bedside. Only after Tian Yanyan closed her eyes and began to breathe evenly did Su Ze lean against the bed and gently lie down beside her.
