Famine Bride: Marry into the best in-laws and win

Chapter 380 Continue to work

After a few days of rest after leaving the confinement room, Xu Manyue looked at the old lady who was holding the child and coaxing him. She thought about it and decided to speak.

"Mom, I plan to go to work in a couple of days, and I might need your help taking care of the baby."

Having children is one thing, and working is another.

Before she gave birth, she mentioned this to the old lady. The old lady smiled and nodded, saying that she could take care of the child after it was born.

The old lady paused patting the child's back and was silent for a moment. "Third wife, this...if you go to work, what will you do if the child gets hungry during the work?"

The child is only a few months old now and cannot be separated from his mother.

If she were to ask him, couldn't the working hours be postponed a little longer?

Xu Manyue pursed her lips and said, "Mom, the school has given me enough leave. I have already told the principal that I will go back to work after a few days of confinement. Now the time has come."

She started her leave when she was only six or seven months pregnant and continued on it until she was out of confinement.

It's good enough that the school gave her such a long vacation

Previously, teachers in the school could only take leave about one or two months before the birth when they became pregnant or had children.

The old lady looked down at her darling grandson in her arms. He had just fallen asleep after feeding, his little face was rosy and looked very adorable.

She looked embarrassed. "Old Third Wife, tell me what we should do about this. We can't let the children stay home hungry waiting for you to get home from get off work, right?"

The third son's wife works at a school. She has to go out after seven in the morning and usually doesn't come back at noon. She doesn't get home until five or six in the afternoon.

How can a child be hungry for so long?

Isn't this a sin?

Xu Manyue glanced at the child in the old lady's arms and said helplessly, "Mom, I will come back to feed the child at noon. I will also ask my connections to buy some milk powder. If the child is hungry during the meal, you can make milk powder for the child."

"Although I have to go to work, I will never let my children go hungry."

She had already prepared the milk powder, using the best milk powder in the system mall, the same as those sold in large local department stores.

Three hundred transformations are worth one can, which is about ten pounds of meat, equivalent to a can of milk powder.

Of course, she doesn't feed her child entirely with formula, after all, formula is not as nutritious as breast milk.

She just said that her child was hungry on the way to work, so she used the food to fill the child's stomach.

The old lady was stunned. "Milk powder, what milk powder? Isn't it for children to drink?"

This was the first time she heard of this thing.

Won’t her lovely grandson starve?

Xu Manyue patiently explained, "Mom, milk powder is the same as malted milk. It is used to make a mixture and is specifically used to replace breast milk to feed the baby."

"If the child is hungry and I'm not around, just make some milk powder for him."

The old lady hugged the child tightly in her arms and said, "The child is still so young. Those things are not as nutritious as milk. Third daughter-in-law, you want to go to work. I don't object, but you can't leave the child alone."

"Can't you talk to your leader and wait a little longer?"

Xu Manyue shook her head: "Mom, my leave has been long enough. It's one or two months longer than other colleagues' maternity leave."

"If you take any more time off, other colleagues will have opinions."

She has already planned to take the child to a technical secondary school when he or she is a little older.

By then, she would rent a house near the school and privately hire someone to help take care of the child. By the time she graduated, Shen Jingming would probably be about the same.

It was a good opportunity for her to join the army. With her junior college degree, she should be able to find a good job as the army helps family members find jobs.

As for being a teacher, she has no plans to continue doing it.

It’s okay now, but in a few years, being a teacher will be one of the dangerous professions. If you are not careful, you may be involved in those things and get into big trouble.

The old lady sighed and said, "Well, okay, since you have already made all the arrangements, then go ahead. Leave the child at home, I will take care of him for you."

Among her daughters-in-law, the third one is the most promising.

Not only is he well educated and handsome, he also has a job and a good temper. Now he has given her a lovely grandson.

Among her several daughters-in-law, she is most satisfied with this one.

Xu Manyue smiled and said, "Thank you, mother."

Once the child's problem is solved, there will basically be no problems.

The old lady waved her hands and said, "Why thank you? The child's surname is Shen, and he is my grandson. It's only natural."

She hardly took care of the third child when he was a child. It was her responsibility to take care of his child.

……

After a few more days, Xu Manyue was finally able to go to work.

Early in the morning, she got up and fed the baby, then handed the prepared milk powder, diapers, baby clothes, etc. to the old lady.

This was the second time the child had left her since she was born, and Xu Manyue felt somewhat uncomfortable.

As soon as I went out and rode my bike, I started thinking about my children before I had gone far.

My mind is always thinking about whether the child is crying again, hungry again, has he peed, and whether the family is taking good care of him...

On the way to the commune school, Xu Manyue was in a mess, with her mind full of her children.

However, she also knew in her heart that given how much the old lady valued the child, she would probably hold the child close to her at all times. Plus, she had experience, so nothing would happen to the child under her care.

She didn't need to worry so much. The child might be more comfortable with the old lady than with her.

Ride forward a few minutes and you will reach the school.

Xu Manyue forced herself to suppress her emotions, composed herself, and parked her bicycle in the school.

As soon as she entered, she met Meng Xiao, whom she hadn't seen for a long time.

Meng Xiao ran over and was so happy, "Sister Manyue, you are finally back. Now I finally have a companion."

These days, she is the only female teacher left in the school. The male teachers are not very good people. One or two of them have wives and still try to get close to her.

Don't think she doesn't know what these people are planning.

Humph, even though her family is in trouble now, it’s not something these people can take advantage of.

Xu Manyue smiled and said, "Xiaoxiao, long time no see."

After not seeing each other for more than half a year, Meng Xiao has become more mature and stable, and seems more reliable.

I heard that her two younger brothers and sisters had already gone to Qingshan Brigade as educated youth a few days ago.

However, there are no educated youth sites now. If you want to go to the countryside as an educated youth, you have to solve everything on your own and actively help the team with construction and work. It is not easy at all.

Meng Xiao took her hand affectionately and whispered in her ear, "By the way, Sister Manyue, I want to ask if there are any easier positions in our team."

"Look, my younger brother and sister have come to the countryside to work. They haven't started working yet, but it will be a few days before they start."

"Although they haven't done much work since they were young, they've been educated and are good at math. I'd like to ask if there's any way to find them better jobs?"
