Chapter 689 Family Financial Pressure
This is also why two teachers were assigned to Xiaoyu.

The child is only seven years old. If he goes to an unfamiliar place and is bullied, someone will inform him.

He Yuan didn't have the idea that his child should suffer.

All he wanted to do was to help his child explore the world better.

If we can help our children grow up, it would be an honor for them as parents.

Xiaoyu resists reporting her physical symptoms, but she doesn't resist telling her family when she's sad: "Uncle, I know, I'll definitely tell them everything."

He Yuan was satisfied: "Very good, then you should practice hard in the future."

He couldn't guarantee the rear, so he had to make up for it with other things.

Find two teachers to tutor Xiaoyu so that she doesn't fall behind in her academic studies, and find a female traditional Chinese medicine doctor who is skilled in massage to come and check on Xiaoyu every week and give her a massage to relieve her discomfort.

After He Yuan finished talking to Xiao Yu, he went back to his room with Chen Qing. "Are you going to pick up and drop off Xiao Yu every night?"

"Ah."

"Wouldn't that be too tiring? Could we give Secretary Zhang more money, or find someone else to help out?"

Because he will be going to another place in the future, it is easy for Chen Qing to break down if he has to do so many things by himself.

Chen Qing: "Xiao Yu can only leave the sports training base at eight o'clock. If someone else picks her up and takes her home, she will have to take a shower and go to bed as soon as she gets home. Home will be like a hotel for her. Xiao Yu is still young. She goes there to do sports training alone and has no friends. She will definitely feel uneasy. We can't help her with sports, but at least we have to do our best to accompany her and let her know that at least she has someone to support her."

"But you..."

"I can!"

Chen Qing answered decisively.

He Yuan didn't say anything more, but his guilt grew stronger.

His project has recently made progress, bringing him one step closer to leaving home.

However, he could not neglect his work, because if new parts were produced domestically, it would save the country money and also free many comrades from having to grovel before foreigners.

Chen Qing patted him on the shoulder, looking like a close buddy, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Actually, I'm very proud that you can participate in such a big project. It's such an honor for someone like me, who's just an average student, to be working with a scientist. And to be honest, do you know what's most important for our family right now?"

He Yuan: "What?"

Chen Qing: "Money!"

He Yuan: “…”

Chen Qing: "I'm not kidding. For example, our family has several children. Two of them still need to drink milk powder and eat rice cereal. I won't even mention the clothes. We also have to pay someone to wash the diapers for the kids. All in all, it costs forty yuan a month."

I will have to pick up Xiaoyu every day from now on. I can find a way to borrow a car, but we will have to pay for the gas ourselves. It will take at least 45 minutes to drive there, and an hour and a half round trip. I will have to give her at least one yuan. Excluding weekends, I will have to give her 22 yuan.

Then there's He Yuxiang. He Yuxiang doesn't seem to have many expenses, but his hobbies require buying some large equipment for him. Let's not talk about the cost, but if it's fifteen yuan per month, it's not a lot.

There's also meat, eggs, and candy at home, which are basically always available. Rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, and tea all cost money. Occasionally, there are social obligations. In the eyes of outsiders, we are considered to have a certain status, so we can't be too stingy when it comes to giving money. Whenever someone brings us good news, even if it's someone we're not close to, we have to give them a five-yuan red envelope.

We also like to buy expensive things; we've never skimped on ourselves, right? Doesn't that all come with money? If we don't control our spending, our combined salaries won't be enough.

He Yuan's head was spinning as he listened.

The long-forgotten problem of survival has suddenly resurfaced.

Chen Qingzhen felt that she and He Yuan were like a future middle-class couple.

They are indeed somewhat wealthy, but their family is not particularly rich.

Because she and He Yuan are both young, and young people who don't lack money tend to spend money very quickly.

Moreover, the two older children in the family have hobbies and interests, and the two younger children are also well cared for.

This is really——

Spend money like water.

Chen Qing thought that love should be put on hold for now, and that making money should be the priority: "You must work hard to get promoted, Comrade He Yuan. Whether the family can maintain its current conditions depends entirely on you."

Because it's very difficult for her to get promoted right now. If she wanted to go to another unit, she would have to become a minor leader in the Light Industry Bureau and slowly work her way up to Qi Yuanchao's position. It's better for her to focus on achieving her goals first. If she stays as the factory director, she'll just be stuck with the same salary.

There's no way to open up the source of information at home.

As one of only two laborers in the family, the important responsibility of earning money fell on He Yuan's shoulders.

He Yuan was speechless: "Our expenses seem to be a bit high..."

"Absolutely. Think about it, we can't do without Teacher He Yuxiang, and we can't do without Teacher Xiaoyu. What if the two little ones have some other hobbies that require spending money? Then our salaries will be in jeopardy."

Chen Qing thought about what people on the internet said about the three things that would crush a middle-class family.

Mortgage, car loan, tuition fees.

But what truly broke the couple's hearts was the cost of their children's extracurricular classes!

Yes, it is that fragile!

After thinking about it carefully, Chen Qing realized that they couldn't really be considered middle-class families; they could only be considered moderately well-off.

He Yuan rubbed his temples: "There are too many children..."

"It's all your fault."

Chen Qing complained directly.

She only wanted one.

Two came in.

He Yuan stared at her in shock.

Chen Qing stated confidently: "Whether a woman gives birth to a boy or a girl, and how many children she has, is basically determined by the sperm of the boy..."

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore," He Yuan interrupted her. "I'm going out to check on the children."

Chen Qing: “???”

Why is he blushing?

Alas, no.

What's there to be embarrassed about?!
They've already had children!

Chen Qing was baffled.

Then he couldn't help but laugh.

After enjoying herself alone in her room for a while, she went out to find He Yuan.

He Yuan saw her and asked, feigning composure, "Why are you here?"

He Yuxiang looked at his aunt, who had come into the kitchen, with a puzzled expression: "What do you want us for now?"

Chen Qing: "The way you're saying that makes me seem so heartless."

The uncle and nephew both fell silent.

Chen Qing also fell silent.

Is she really like that?

"He Yuan, am I the kind of person he described?"

He Yuan: "You are not."

Chen Qingchao and He Yuxiang spread their hands: "See, your uncle already said it's not true."

He Yuxiang was already used to their public displays of affection. "I'll take the dishes out."
