Chapter 534 Taking the Road
He Yuxiang pursed his lips and said stubbornly, "I didn't say what I was going to do."

He Yuan didn't expose him.

He Yuxiang then asked, "Is there anything else?"

"It's alright, you can go back to your work." Chen Qing waved his hand.

He Yuxiang immediately went back to his room. He began to reflect on why doing business on the black market was not a long-term benefit, and what exactly constituted a long-term benefit.
He Yuxiang was still thinking about it in his study before going to sleep, and as he was thinking, he had a nightmare.

In his dream, he seemed to be doing business recklessly. He would throw money around whatever was said to make money in the market, without aligning with policy. Even if he made a lot of money for a while, he couldn't implement it or expand his scale, and in the end, he became a discarded pawn.

After He Yuxiang woke up, he sat cross-legged on the bed. His dream was hazy and he couldn't remember the whole picture. He just remembered that you can't just start a business on a whim. You have to be realistic and it would be best if you had government support so that you could ride the wave of success.

A business that exploits loopholes.

Even if it's only a temporary boom.

It's bound to collapse sooner or later.

But here comes the problem...

Buying and selling are not allowed now.

He Yuxiang scratched his head, feeling that the dream was inexplicable. He pushed open the door, saw Ma Aiying, and said, "Good morning, Aunt Ma."

"morning."

After he washed up, Ma Aiying led him in practicing a set of martial arts.

He Yuxiang practiced with Aunt Ma while thinking about nicknames for her aunt's child.

He wanted to call him Qiangqiang.

Do the opposite of what your sister does.

But Qiangqiang seems to have too much of a purpose.

not too good.

He Yuxiang thought and thought, but still couldn't come up with a solution.

After finishing his martial arts practice, He Yuxiang stood for a while and saw Xiao Yu coming out with messy hair. He said, "Why didn't you comb your hair?"

"My comb broke." Xiaoyu showed the comb to her brother.

Several teeth of the comb were indeed broken.

He Yuxiang immediately went to get his comb for his sister, smoothed out her messy hair, and asked, seeing how long her hair was, "Do you want to get a haircut? You're always going out to play and you sweat easily. A buzz cut would be much more comfortable."

"But I want a pretty hairstyle. My aunt's haircut looks so good on me."

"That's up to you."

He Yuxiang didn't try to persuade him any further.

My younger sister washes her hair quite frequently.

He Yuxiang combed her hair neatly and was satisfied with the look. He patted her head and said, "Remember to remind me to buy a comb next time we go to the supply and marketing cooperative. You can use this comb for now."

His hair is so short that he doesn't need to comb it; combs are only for his hairy hair.

Xiaoyu took the comb, nodded obediently, and went back to her room to put it away.

He Yuan also went out to make breakfast.

He made egg pancakes, and the whole family ate them with great happiness.

He Yuan asked Chen Qing, "What are you busy with today?"

"Working with the factory committee to check on the leaders invited for the factory opening, writing speeches, arranging seating, and testing our garment factory's broadcasting equipment were all miscellaneous tasks."

For the next period of time, Chen Qing's work was like this, busy and tedious.

When He Yuan had free time, he would think about making baby cribs, walkers, and bathtubs for the children.

He went to the storage room to take a look, and then asked He Yuxiang, "Where are your childhood bathtubs?"

"It was demolished... I'm not sure exactly what it's used for."

Wood is so precious.

His mother had a difficult childbirth with Xiaoyu, so his grandfather disassembled the wooden basin. He Yuxiang asked, "What are you going to use it for?"

"I have some free time now to prepare the things the baby will need after birth, but there's not much usable stuff at home."

He Yuan looked around and found nothing that could be reused.

He Yuxiang said, "There are still about ten diapers left. I showed them to my aunt, but Xiaoyu's diapers were also given to her by someone else. They've been used for more than ten years, so my aunt doesn't want them anymore."

"Then let's use pure cotton ones. I'll go buy them later. How many diapers does a baby need again?" He Yuan asked.

He Yuxiang said, "Each child needs about twenty to thirty diapers. Xiaoyu needs thirty because we are both babies born in the second half of the year, when it is more likely to rain, making it difficult for clothes to dry. Clothes can be reused, but diapers cannot, so we need to prepare at least sixty diapers."

He Yuan rubbed his temples: "I feel like the scenes of washing and drying diapers will be quite spectacular."

He Yuxiang thought about it and agreed, but for some reason, the corners of his mouth turned up: "Yes."

He Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and began to prepare the items step by step.

Another very important item is the milk powder coupon.

An employee with a child can only get two coupons a month. He and Chen Qing have a total of four coupons, which is not enough for their child. So they have to pre-order other people's milk powder coupons.

He Yuan took Chen Qing's money, went to the black market to buy a bunch of wood, and brought it home, asking the other party to deliver it to his door that night.

So, in the middle of the night, a pile of wood arrived at the courtyard. Chen Qing looked at the pile of things in the backyard and frowned: "What are these for?"

He Yuan: "Making children's beds, walkers, wooden buckets, and other random things."

"Oh yeah, I need to start preparing diapers and blankets too." Chen Qing sighed, "This is a huge undertaking."

Two children.

The workload has more than doubled.

Chen Qingdu wanted to take advantage of Tian Mengya and even moved Peipei's diapers to use.

He Yuan also drew blueprints of children's objects, which he showed to Chen Qing: "I'll buy some paints later, and you can be in charge of coloring them."

“Okay.” Chen Qing thought it was a good idea for the couple to prepare the necessities for the child together.

She doesn't know if the child is moved, but she is quite moved right now.

She flipped through He Yuan's drawings one by one, and suddenly saw two wall clocks: "Why are you making wall clocks again?"

"It was installed in Xiaoyu and He Yuxiang's room. I heard from others that children who have clocks are more likely to develop a sense of time."

"is it?"

Chen Qing has doubts.

He Yuan: "Right?"

"That's it."

Since it's not like she's the one making it, she's being incredibly picky. "Then why don't you think about making one for our room too?"

"Don't we have watches?" He Yuan asked, puzzled.

Chen Qing: "...You're right."

He Yuan counted the wood, and since the number matched, he stopped worrying about it and decided to finish it tomorrow.

Over the next few days, He Yuan took charge of the more difficult parts of the furniture, while He Yuxiang and Xiao Yu helped with the simpler tasks.

With the addition of new furniture, He Yuan felt that the courtyard was a bit too small. He thought that when the time came to renovate, he would build a two-story house to make it more suitable for the whole family to live in, and the backyard would also need to be leveled.

He Yuxiang likes his home to be lively and bustling. Seeing a few more things in the house makes him feel good.

He Yuan originally planned to make two wall clocks, but Chen Qing asked him to make three.

Chen Qing said, "I have to put one in my office. You have no idea how big my office is, it's really impressive. On the day the project starts, I'll invite you to take a look, so you can get some of the credit."

A smile appeared in He Yuan's dark eyes. "Thank you, Director Chen."

"Hahahaha..." Chen Qing really liked this nickname. "Comrade He Yuan, you're really on point."

Xiao Yu immediately shouted, "Director Chen, I want to go too!"

Her large, clear eyes blinked, giving off a "I'm pretty good at this too" vibe.
