Si Chen vaguely noticed something and quickly changed the topic:

"Grandma, the babies have landed safely. The twins are in the nursery over there. I'll take you to have a look."

"Really?! Hey, my great-grandson, my great-grandmother is coming to see you!" Mrs. Si's attention was immediately diverted, and she laughed so hard that she couldn't even see her eyes.

Si Chen turned around, supported his grandma, who was walking swiftly, and walked to the nursery at the right end of the corridor.

The three daughters of the Si family finally breathed a sigh of relief and quickly followed.

In Yuanmeng County these days, very few people spend money to give birth in hospitals.

Therefore, the nursery is not large, about ten square meters, and has only six wooden cradles.

Si Chen's baby babies had the whole nursery reserved for them.

It turns out that the midwife was always busy taking care of her, and she was treated well.

Across the window, Mrs. Si smiled brightly. Even though she was taking off her raincoat, her eyes refused to leave the baby in the midwife's arms.

"Good-looking! So good-looking! My great-grandson is so good-looking! Si Chen is just as handsome as you were back then!"

"Grandma, that's not my son, that's my daughter." Si Chen took the raincoat and frowned silently, thinking:

[When I was just born, I was as ugly as a little old lady? She looked so wrinkled! How did you tell me that I was handsome?]

"Great-granddaughter? Okay, okay! My daughter is a treasure too! She looks like you, she's very handsome, and our Sichen is very handsome!"

Even after taking off her raincoat, Mrs. Si was not in a hurry to go in, but kept rubbing her hands and arms.

In the eyes of the elderly, the baby's room must be kept warm, and cold air must not be brought in.

"Oh! It's also a sin!" Mrs. Si rubbed her arms and began to mutter again: www.bǐqυgetν.℃ǒm

"If I had known that Lixia was pregnant, I wouldn't have come to stay. You must not have prepared the quilts, clothes, and diapers these babies need, right?"

"Take a look, are the swaddles for the two babies bought by the hospital?"

"Alas! Regardless of the money spent, it is definitely not as reassuring as the ones prepared at home. Who knows whether the cotton inside is new cotton or refurbished old cotton batting?"

Seeing that the old lady was about to unleash her power, Si Chen quickly pushed her through the door:

"Grandma, you stay here and look after the dolls, and I'll wait for the beginning of summer, okay?"

"Okay, okay! Go quickly, grandma is watching the kids!"

Si Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief. With his wife in mind, he didn't dare to delay here and hurried to the operating room.

"Si Chen, wait!" Si Yuzhu, the fourth aunt, chased after him, took two quick steps, stopped him, and said:

"Your grandma is right, we are all a family and we should help each other in everything."

As he spoke, Si Yuzhu took out a thick stack of unity from the khaki canvas satchel he carried with him, solemnly handed it to Si Chen's hand, and said:

"This is five hundred yuan. No matter how much money you have, Fourth Aunt can't come up with it for the time being. You should take the emergency supplies first."

"Thank you, Fourth Aunt!" Si Chen thanked her from the bottom of his heart and bowed immediately.

"You kid, what are you doing?" Si Yuzhu was shocked:

"Your father provided the money for Fourth Aunt's education back then. Even the opportunity to go to school was given by your father..."

Speaking of this, Si Yuzhu softened his voice again and his eye circles turned red:

"Your father has endured hardship for most of his life. For a son like you, who will help you if your fourth aunt doesn't help you?"

Seeing Si Yuzhu burst into tears, Si Chen panicked: "Fourth aunt, please don't cry, I'm not accepting this."

He is indeed short of money now, and he doesn't want to be pretentious with others.

There are fifty pieces of ten-dollar denominations, tied with yellow rubber bands, some new and some old.

It can be seen that the fourth aunt saved it through frugality.

Si Yuzhu is an English teacher at the County No. 1 Middle School, and her husband is the deputy director of the Education Bureau. Both of them are paid by the government.

However, it does not necessarily mean you are rich.

"Si Chen, and Fifth Aunt." Si Qiuju also took out a stack of unity notes from her shoulder bag:

"This is five hundred yuan. Your uncle's mother just went to the provincial capital for an operation a few days ago. Fifth aunt can only afford so much for the time being. Don't dislike it."

"Fifth Aunt, I'm grateful to you before it's too late. How can I dislike it?" Si Chen quickly bowed to his Fifth Aunt and said with relief:

"Lixia and I, as well as the children, will remember you and the other aunts for the rest of our lives!"

"This kid, what are you talking about? To be honest, your father also paid for Wu Gu's education."

"As a family, no matter what you say, thank you or not, we will have more lives."

Si Qiuju is the director of the Women's Federation, and although her husband is the secretary of the county party committee secretary, in the final analysis, both of them are on public wages.

The total monthly salary will not exceed 500 yuan.

My mother-in-law has just had an operation and her children are in school, so we are indeed not rich enough.

"We sisters can't afford to thank you, bow and say nice things at the same time. Why don't we deceive and trick you into sensationalism?"

The person who spoke was Si Chen's seventh aunt, Si Lige.

"Li Ge! Stop saying a few words, your skin is tight?" Si Qiuju scolded her sister in a low voice and subconsciously glanced at the nursery.

Fortunately, my old mother was focused on her child and didn't notice it.

Silige has shawl black hair that is permed and fluffy. She wears a ruffled georgette long-sleeved shirt with a red background and white polka dots, which is tucked into flared jeans, and she wears bright leather red high heels.

Coupled with her pretty face and flashy jewelry, she looks like a Hong Kong actress.

"How old am I, and I'm still afraid of her?" Si Lige was naturally referring to Mrs. Si.

Si Chen's heart skipped a beat. The knot between Qi Gu and grandma was getting deeper and deeper.

His seventh aunt, Si Lige, was unable to study. In her early years, she went to the provincial capital alone to join her eldest sister, Si Xuemei, and was assigned to work in a guest house.

Unexpectedly, I developed feelings for a rich boss who often stayed at the hotel.

Later, Mrs. Si called her back and arranged for her to get married.

Silige had a strong temper, and from then on she always opposed her old mother in everything.

She also decided to start a career on her own and once she became financially independent, she would divorce, find her sweetheart, settle in the provincial capital and never come back.

After the market economy was gradually liberalized, she acted vigorously and resolutely like a strong woman, borrowed money, and contracted the only daily miscellaneous department store in Yuanmeng County, making crazy money.

Judging by time, she now has at least 100,000 yuan in liquidity, making her the richest man in Yuanmeng County.

"Hey, Qi Gu is not very rich lately. She only has two hundred yuan. You should deal with emergencies first."

Si Lige took out two brand-new blue-gray one-hundred-dollar bills from her small leather bag, held them between her fingers stained with scarlet nail polish, and tossed them to Si Chen.

Before 1987, there were no 100 yuan or 50 yuan banknotes.

The denomination of RMB at that time was called "eighteen yuan and eighty-eight cents".

That is: ten yuan, five yuan, two yuan, one yuan, fifty cents, two cents, one cent, five cents, two cents, one cent.

The large denominations of 100 yuan and 50 yuan were issued in 1987.

Yuanmeng County is a small county, and it has basically not started circulating in large denominations in 1988.

Si Chen looked at the two hundred-dollar bills held between Qi Gu's fingertips and didn't want to take them.

The air was quiet for a moment.

Sili Ge sneered, rolled his eyes, and said in an impatient tone:
Chapter completed!
