The reason why Yan Bugui studies is very simple: fear.

He is a small business owner, in other words, a small businessman, and there is only a thin layer of gap between him and the bourgeoisie.

If someone does something bad, such as writing two letters of denunciation, saying that he is very rich or something like that.

Although he may not be brought down like some school leaders, it is hard to say whether he can keep his job as a teacher.

Therefore, for the safety of his family and to keep his job, Yan Bugui not only had to study, but also bought a lot of local specialties for the first time and sent them to Ni Ye's house.

No matter whether you accept it or not, just force it in, put it down and leave.

The purpose is to ease the relationship with Wang Tiedan and avoid causing trouble for him.

But he didn’t know that Wang Tiedan knew nothing about this.

Ni Ye is not going to accept it. You are the one who started the trouble. Now you are using something worth a few dollars to humiliate others. Who are you trying to disgust?

Yan Bugui’s mouth was no longer swollen, but he had not yet had his teeth replaced. When he came home from get off work, he felt tired looking at the local specialties that were returned to him.

What he didn't know was that even more tiring things were yet to come.

In the evening, the third aunt fried a plate of dried fish for the first time and also made fried eggs with leeks.

This is considered a top-notch meal in the Yan family.

There are two purposes. One is to ease the relationship with my daughter-in-law Yu Li. Second, today is the day when Yu Li gets her salary, so I have to talk about it.

Without Yan Bugui's invitation, Yan Jiekuang and Yan Jiedi took the initiative to sit in their seats.

Yan Jiefang was surprised when he saw the dishes on the table.

"Mom, what day is today? Did Dad find the money?"

"Eat if you want to, and shut up if you don't want to."

"Eat, why not? I paid for my living expenses."

Yan Jiefang took out this month's 7.5 yuan living allowance and handed it to the three aunts, then sat down at the table.

The third aunt took it happily, counted it twice and then put it in her pocket.

Seeing this, Yan Jiecheng, who was standing by, also took out the eleven yuan and fifty cents that he had prepared long ago. However, he did not give it to the third aunt, but put it on the table, as if he knew that they would talk about living expenses today.

Yan Bugui was very satisfied with his eldest son's awareness.

If you earn more money, you should contribute more to your family and not just care about your own family.

However, just as he was about to explain, he saw Yu Li nudged Yan Jiecheng with her elbow.

Yan Jiecheng glanced at Yu Li, coughed, and said as if he had mustered up the courage: "Dad, Mom, I have something to say."

"Brother, what are you talking about? Let's eat first." Yan Jiekuang had been extremely greedy for a long time.

"That's right. It won't taste good if it gets cold." Yan Jiedi also echoed.

Yan Jiecheng ignored the two foodies, straightened his back, and looked at Yan Bugui and the third aunt.

"Dad, Mom, I have good news for you. Yu Li is pregnant."

Suddenly, the whole room was quiet, followed by a series of surprised inquiries.

"Really?"

"Jie Cheng, is what you said true?"

"Sister-in-law, are you really pregnant?"

Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li were mentally prepared and nodded together.

"Really, we went to the hospital to confirm it yesterday."

"You kid, why did you tell me such an important thing just now?" The third aunt's words were full of complaint and surprise.

"Yu Li, do you want to eat anything? Mom will make it for you right away."

"No thanks, mom."

Yu Li smiled, but it was a forced smile.

She said it very nicely. She wanted to eat a lot of things, such as lamb, roast chicken, strawberries, apples, and bananas. It seemed that her family would buy them for her if she wanted to eat them.

Yan Bugui was much more practical and directly brought the fried leeks and eggs to Yu Li.

"Yu Li, this plate is yours today, just eat it, no one will snatch it from you.

Xie Cheng, how many months has Yu Li been pregnant? Did the doctor tell you? "

"It's been more than two months."

"More than two months."

Yan Bugui immediately started to think about it.

"Two months is good. It will be stable after two months. It won't affect my work. I will give birth at the end of the year. The weather is also suitable for confinement. I won't suffer. These days are good."

Just then, Yu Li stood up.

"Mom and Dad, you guys eat. I have no appetite. I'm going back to rest first."

After saying that, he kicked Yan Jiecheng secretly and walked out of the door without looking back.

Yan Bugui and the three aunts were very surprised. They didn’t say anything wrong, so why did they leave?

The two looked at each other, and the third aunt hurriedly chased after him.

"Yu Li, Yu Li, eat a little. There are two of you now. You can't go hungry."

Seeing that the third aunt went to the back house, Yan Bugui suppressed his joy and put the scrambled eggs with leeks back to its original place.

Just now he felt that the reason for asking for more living expenses was a bit forced, but now it is very sufficient.

Yan Bugui looked at the wine bottle and glass in front of him, hardened his heart, and poured the wine in the glass back into the bottle.

"Jie Kuang, go get that unopened bottle of Lotus White so your brother and I can have a drink."

"Good~"

Yan Jiekuang knew that this had to be drunk neat, so he hurried to get the wine.

Seeing this, Yan Jiefang also ran to the cupboard, took out two wine glasses, and placed them in front of Yan Jiecheng and himself.

"Dad, today is a happy day, I'll have a drink too."

"Well, it is indeed a happy day."

Hearing Yan Bugui say that, Yan Jiefang smiled, took the bottle, filled up Yan Bugui and Yan Jiecheng's glasses first, and then poured himself a glass.

"Brother, I respect you."

"First, Dad~"

Yan Jiecheng thought about what he was going to say later, raised his glass and clinked it with Yan Bugui.

Yan Bugui nodded and drank the wine with his two sons.

No one distributed the food today, so Yan Jiekuang and Yan Jiedi were still a little uncomfortable. They tried to restrain themselves, but still took a lot of extra food.

But this time, Yan Bugui didn't say anything.

He asked Yan Jiefang to fill up his glass again, and the three of them drank the second and third cups together.

After thinking for a while, Yan Bugui finally opened his mouth and prepared to talk about living expenses.

"Xie Cheng, Yu Li is pregnant, which is a good thing and a happy event, but because of her pregnancy, Yu Li's meals will definitely not be the same as before. As a pregnant woman, her food, clothing and daily expenses cannot be the same as before.

Yu Li is at work these days, so all the housework falls on your mother.

So I wanted to discuss raising the cost of living with you before. Now, let’s not talk about increasing Yu Li’s nutrition. With the child, I will treat you as a family of three eating, is that ok?”

Yan Jiecheng had wanted to talk about this before, and now that he had drunk some wine, he became bolder.

"Dad, tell me how much living expenses should be paid each month."

"Liberation costs seven dollars and a half a month, so multiply that by three, and that's twenty-two dollars and a half a month."

Hearing this number, Yan Jiefang pursed his lips and said nothing. He would have to earn two months' salary by doing odd jobs.

Yan Jiecheng frowned. He was still an apprentice and earned 18 yuan a month. Yu Li had just started working and earned 24 yuan a month.

More than half of the couple’s salary will be taken away at once.

Yan Bugui originally planned to have only the fifteenth, but changed her mind because of her pregnancy.

Let’s talk first. Ask for a high price and pay it back at a low price.

Seeing Yan Jiecheng's bad face, he hurriedly added: "Jiecheng, you see a lot, but you have to know that now Yu Li can't help with housework, and all kinds of housework at home will fall on your mother.

Every morning and evening, your mother has to prepare an extra meal for Yu Li. If you do the math yourself, it's not much, right?"

Yan Jiecheng didn't say anything, picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one breath.

"Dad, don't talk about living expenses. Yu Li and I have discussed it. Let's split up the family business!"
