Chapter 257 Going to Minmin's House
Chapter 257 Going to Minmin's House
"Come in quickly, this must be Beibei! Jiajia, come out and see your little brother." Minmin was very happy to see Yunshu and Beibei, especially little Beibei.
"Is it my uncle and aunt?" Jiajia rushed out of her room.
The apartment Minmin lives in was bought with Tietou. Tietou still works at Mingkun Company, but Minmin's small factory has closed down. In recent years, many processing plants have sprung up, leading to fierce competition and low profitability. Tietou saw that she was very tired, and now that she's pregnant, he was too busy to help her much, so he asked Minmin to close the factory.
Minmin is currently pregnant with her second child and stays at home most of the time. Jiajia is in the third grade of elementary school and is taken to school by Tietou in the morning and evening. Tietou's mother is in poor health, and Minmin's mother, Liu Yufen, cannot even walk. There is no one to take care of Minmin. Once the pregnancy is more advanced, Tietou plans to hire a nanny to take care of Minmin. His salary is decent now, and as long as Mingkun is generous, he can support Minmin and Jiajia without much pressure.
Jiajia and Tietou get along well. Since her biological father divorced Minmin, he remarried not long after and completely forgot about Jiajia. So Jiajia is very happy that Tietou is willing to be her father.
"You've grown taller again! Oh, you're a big girl now. Come and meet Beibei. Beibei, call her cousin." Beibei was very happy to see the girl who looked a lot like her uncle, but she was even happier to see Yunshu. Looking at Yunshu, she called out, "Auntie, do you remember me?"
"I remember. Jiajia is getting prettier and prettier. She should visit her uncle's house often in the future."
Jiajia nodded; in her memory, her aunt had always been very gentle with her.
"Jiajia, take Beibei to your room, I'm going to play for a while. Mommy has something to say to Uncle and Auntie."
Jiajia obediently came over and took Beibei's hand, then went inside and brought out all her toys to play with him.
Minmin, who was outside, excitedly grabbed Yunshu's hand and said, "Yunshu, you're really back."
Yun Shu smiled and said, "Yes, you're back. If you come back any longer, Ming Kun will have to marry someone else."
"Who said I was going to marry someone else?" Mingkun looked at the two women with displeasure. They left him aside as soon as they met. Tietou went out to buy groceries and wouldn't be back for a while.
"I heard everything from Ah Kun. Yun Shu is so happy to be back, and she even gave birth to such a lovely child as Bei Bei for Ah Kun." I just looked at Bei Bei, and he really does look a lot like my younger brother. No wonder my parents kept praising Bei Bei on the phone.
"I...hehe, I haven't been back for years. I didn't expect so much to have changed. My sister and Brother Tietou have actually become a family. I didn't believe it when Mingkun first told me, but now it seems to be true."
"Yeah! I didn't want to get married again before, but then I met Tietou. He was divorced and I was divorced too, so we figured that since we were both remarried, we wouldn't have to look down on each other, haha..."
"Yes, your baby will be born in a few months."
Minmin stroked her belly, her maternal instincts kicking in, and she became much gentler than usual. "Yes, in a few months there will be another person in the family, hehe! By the way! Is Yunshu still working at the hospital?"
“I work at a hospital, and I’ll be working at Peking University. In the second half of the year, I can be working at a kindergarten. I have nothing to do at home anyway.”
"Do you want to have a second child?"
"I'm not having children right now. I'll wait another year. My immune system is too weak right now, and I get sick often, so it's not suitable for me to have children."
"Well, you have Beibei, so there's no rush. Sigh! Tie Tou's parents keep urging me to have another one, so I'm thinking of having another one while I'm still not that old," Minmin said shyly.
"If your financial situation and health allow, having another child is a good idea, especially since Jiajia is older and doesn't need anyone to take care of her anymore. It would be a good time to have a second child."
Mingkun watched the two women chattering away, not giving him a chance to interrupt, so he automatically poured them water.
They chatted for a short while before Tie Tou returned, bringing back a lot of groceries.
"You're here!" Tie Tou saw Yun Shu and Ming Kun as soon as he came in.
"Let me help." Mingkun quickly stood up to help when he saw the large and small bags of vegetables that Tietou had bought.
"Minmin can't eat anything, especially not outside food. Ah Kun, let's eat at home and save me money, haha!"
"Okay, I'll cook later! You can help me wash the vegetables," Mingkun said. He was a better cook than Tietou, and Tietou didn't want to help since he was there.
Outside, Yun Shu gave Minmin a quick check-up. Her blood pressure was normal, but her complexion wasn't very good.
"Sis, just take some folic acid and make sure you get plenty of rest."
"Well, it's up to you."
After Mingkun finished cooking, he was very hot, so he took a quick shower in the bathroom before coming out to eat with them.
"Tie Tou, the house you bought is a bit far from us, but it will be very close if we move to a villa in the future."
"Ah Kun, you bought another house?" Minmin was a little surprised. She had heard him say before that he lived in one house and Yun Shu lived in the house next door, and she really wanted to laugh at the two of them.
“The houses over there are a bit small, and Beibei doesn’t have much room to play. Luckily, the newly opened development has a good location and other aspects, so we’ve reserved one for ourselves. That way, when you guys go there to play, or when Mom and Dad come to stay for a few days, there will be a place for us.”
"Yeah, that's true. It's better than you two living in separate houses and becoming neighbors, haha! When I first heard that, it made me laugh. It means you two are destined to be together! You can even become neighbors by buying houses."
"Maybe!" Yun Shu blushed deeply, it was all Ming Yuan's fault.
"Hurry up and eat! Sis, see if you can eat these light dishes." Seeing Yun Shu's embarrassment, Ming Kun quickly changed the subject for her.
After finishing their meal, Tie Tou went to eat and clean up, Ming Kun chatted with them, and Bei Bei and Jia Jia played in the living room.
"Yun Shu will come over to visit again when she has time. Jia Jia is at school now, and I get really bored at home all by myself." Tie Tou and she bought this four-bedroom, two-living-room house, and it feels so empty and boring when he's home alone.
"Sister, once you're three months pregnant, you can go out for walks. It's good for both you and the baby." You can't just lie down or sit all the time during pregnancy; it's better to move around more, but you can't do strenuous exercise.
"Yes! I understand. When I gave birth to Jiajia, I was lying down a lot, which is why the delivery was so difficult later on." Minmin was still scared when she thought about giving birth to Jiajia.
"It's alright, we can give birth at a hospital outside, and I'll deliver the baby for you!" Yun Shu suggested.
"Okay, I feel relieved with Yun Shu here."
"Hehe! My sister's due date is around the same as Xu Ruo's, and she also wants me to deliver her baby. Now my sister will be there to accompany her."
Upon hearing this, Mingkun's eyes twitched: "Xu Ruo is pregnant again. We're doomed. We've lost to Mingyuan again in the second pregnancy."
"Xu Ruo wanted a son. She envied us for having Bei Bei, so she kept pestering Mingyuan, haha! I can't help but laugh when I think about it." Yun Shu wanted to laugh when she thought about how Xu Ruo told her during her pregnancy that she had secretly pierced her vagina to conceive the child. It was just that this wasn't the right occasion to say it.
Mingkun felt a headache coming on when he thought of the carefree Xu Ruo. He thought to himself that Mingyuan must have been forced into this situation by Xu Ruo, and that he was a bit pitiful to have encountered a woman like that.
After chatting for a while, Mingkun and his group said goodbye to Minmin's family.
