Chapter 801 Painless Motherhood 14
After Hou Wu and Hou Qi finished their shower, they went to Hou's mother's room holding pillows.
"Grandma, we'll sleep with you."
Mother Hou raised her upper body and said, "Grandma, the medicine here smells bad, you guys..."
Hou Wu hugged her waist directly: "It's not smelly, it's not smelly, grandma's body is fragrant."
Hou Qi also held her hand and said, "Grandma, please tell us about Dad's childhood."
Tears flashed in Mother Hou's eyes, and she hugged her two granddaughters and talked to them with emotion.
Ever since she fell ill, she has been depressed, not only because of the physical discomfort, but more because she feels that she is a burden to her son.
Although no one said anything to her face, she overheard the hospital nurses talking behind her back while she was in the hospital.
It is said that Hou Jinyan is so outstanding and good-looking, but it is a pity that he has such a mother.
It's not that she doesn't feel guilty. Many times, Hou's mother did think about just dying. But when she thought about her son who hadn't started a family or a career, who would take care of him if she died?
Now that she knows he has five children, Mother Hou is no longer afraid that he will be lonely in the future. It’s just that the children are not grown up yet, so she has to help them. Apart from anything else, she needs to keep herself healthier and help her son take care of the children for a few more years. She can only leave with peace of mind when his career is stable.
Hou Jinyan waited at the door for a while. When he heard the sound coming from inside, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips.
The initial shock of having a child has faded, and he now just thinks it's no wonder that so many people want to have children.
Sometimes, children are all the hope of a family.
"Dad, are we sleeping in the next bedroom?" Hou Liu asked.
Hou Jinyan found some old clothes for his three sons: "Wear them today. After you wash up, go to bed and don't go out. I'm going to work and will be back late. Don't wait for me."
"Ok!"
After waiting for their mother to fall asleep, the two sisters tiptoed out of the room.
Five little kids gathered at the dining table.
"As you can see, Dad is very poor now! It's already very difficult for him to support grandma, and it's even more difficult with the five of us!" Hou Wu said solemnly.
Hou Liu nodded: "Yes, my father is not as rich now as he was later, we have to find a way to improve our family conditions!"
"Why don't we go find mom? She must have money." Hou Jiu suggested.
"No, my mother was also poor when she was young. I heard her say that." Hou Qi is the most clingy. Since she was born, she has loved to stick to her mother and tell her stories. She never gets tired of her mother telling her about her love life with her father over and over again.
"I remember Mom seemed to have mentioned how Dad made his fortune?"
"Set up a stall! Set up a stall!" Hou Ba replied.
"That's right! Mom said that Dad used to be very poor, but he was a good cook. He made his first fortune by setting up a stall in front of the university! Then, with that money, Dad started his own business and opened a technology company!"
"Tell Dad tomorrow! Then there will be five of us. Three will go to help Dad, and two will stay at home to take care of Grandma."
"Good idea, it's settled then!"
The children briefly made plans for the next step and then went back to their room to sleep.
When I woke up the next day, Hou Jinyan had already gone to class.
He is really busy. His daily jobs include tutoring, convenience store cashier and KFC waiter.
During this period, he also had to find time to attend classes and only slept five or six hours a day. He maintained this lifestyle for more than a year.
Hou Jinyan didn't think it was a big deal at first, but it's different now that he has five children. He took a day off today and planned to take the children to buy some daily necessities and clothes. He can't always pick his clothes to wear.
When passing by a roast chicken shop, he hesitated for a long time but finally paid for it.
Before I took out the key to open the door, I heard the laughter of a child and his mother inside.
Such a joyful atmosphere has not appeared in their home for a long time.
Hou Jinyan pursed his lips and smiled. Now it seemed that the five children were not God making things difficult for him. Instead, they saw that his life was too hard and gave him the motivation to work hard in advance.
He went home, washed his hands, cooked, and listened to the chattering of children at the dining table. Happiness was embodied at this moment.
After dinner, the two sons took their grandmother downstairs for a walk.
Hou Wu held Hou Jinyan's hand seriously and nervously told him what they had discussed yesterday: "Dad, what do you think?"
Hou Jinyan carefully considered the children's suggestions.
The current situation really does not allow him to work three jobs. The children are still young and obviously cannot be left at home every day. They have to be sent to school. Although nine years of compulsory education is now free, there are still a lot of miscellaneous expenses such as textbook fees and school uniform fees.
It’s impossible that his child doesn’t have what other children have.
Hou Jinyan now understands the feeling of being a parent, which is about worrying endlessly and always feeling indebted to the children.
What's more, the children's suggestion was exactly what he wanted. He had been planning to quit his part-time job when the time was right and set up a stall to sell food in front of the school gate.
Because Hou Jinyan's deceased father was a chef, he inherited his good cooking skills.
Now the opportunity came, and with a prophet in hand, Hou Jinyan knew how to take advantage of it: "So which university do you think is better to set up a stall in?"
"University A!" Hou Qi blurted out without thinking.
Hou Jinyan stroked his chin and thought, University A is not far from his home, it is close, and it has an art college, the students are not short of money, it is a good place.
"Hehe, because Dad, you met Mom when you were setting up the stall!" Hou Wu said happily.
Hou Jinyan was stunned. He almost forgot that the children's mother didn't know about their existence yet.
After hesitating for a while, he asked softly, "What kind of person is your mother...?"
"My mother's name is Meng Liu, and she's so beautiful! My father loves her very much, and our family even went on vacation to Hawaii."
Meng Liu, he chewed these two words in his mouth, feeling very unfamiliar, as he had definitely never known such a girl before.
Being able to go abroad for vacation means that I will have a good future.
He didn't plan to find the children's mother. According to these kids, Meng Liu is still in college.
It was shocking enough for Hou Jinyan to suddenly find out that his 20-year-old self had five 11-year-old children. Meng Liu was in college and would probably think he was crazy when he heard this news.
And she shouldn't be the one to bear the responsibility of future children now.
Of course, if one day he really couldn't afford to raise five children, he might still look for her, but before that point, he didn't plan to disturb her life.
Although I am also curious about what my future daughter-in-law will look like.
He did what he said. The next day, Hou Jinyan quit his job and went to the market to buy a lot of ingredients. He planned to sell the cold noodles that college students loved to eat.
