Chapter 4 Vanilla

It was another sunny day, so I got up early to boil water, boiled a pot of millet porridge for myself, and went out to buy some steamed bun fritters. When they came back, the two children hadn't woken up yet, after all, at three o'clock in the morning, the eldest son pulled, and the crying woke up the younger daughter again, and the two children cried together, Li Ran changed diapers, wiped his buttocks, and fed until he was tired of tossing, and they all fell asleep, and it was estimated that he couldn't wake up for a while. After two nights of tossing and turning, he felt that he could no longer put the two children together. When the babysitter came, he had to watch the two separately. Otherwise, it's fine during the day, but it's too noisy at night.

After eating, Li Ran began to clean up last night's diapers again. It happened that there was a knock on the door outside, and when he thought about it, no one else was looking for him at this time, so it must be Aunt Zhao who came over with her niece, washed her hands, and went to open the door.

"Auntie, please come in" Li Ran looked at the little girl next to Aunt Zhao, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, seventeen or eighteen years old, carrying a blue cloth bag. "This is my niece, named Vanilla. The little girl whispered to Brother Li, Li Ran smiled at her and said "Hello", the little girl was very shy and lowered her head and did not respond.

Led Aunt Zhao into the house and sat down, poured two glasses of water, and glanced at the girl again, he had a good impression of the little girl, Wen Wen quietly looked at an honest child, but he didn't know whether it was good or bad to do things. "This is my mother's brother's family, the second in line, the eldest of the four children in the family has been married, and there are two younger brothers below, after graduating from junior high school last year, the family can't afford to go back to help the family work. Aunt Zhao briefly told Li Ran about the situation.

"Do you know how to cook?" Vanilla nodded

"There are two children at home, both of whom are still young, I usually estimate that I will be busy with some things, can you take care of it alone?" "Yes, I helped my mother take my brother at home" This time he replied.

Li Ran thought about it, and felt that he still left the vanilla, after all, he would definitely not be able to find a better one for a while. He said to Aunt Zhao: "I think the vanilla is very good, so let's keep it for the time being! If it's okay, let her come and live tomorrow," Li Ran was afraid that there would be something in the girl's house that he hadn't explained clearly, so he deliberately postponed it for a day. "No, it's okay, let her keep it today! I don't have anything to pack, and I can help you watch the child as soon as possible." When Aunt Zhao came, it was estimated that she had already explained to Vanilla's family, and after saying a few words to Vanilla, she left, leaving him and Vanilla in an instant embarrassment.

"There are a total of five rooms in the house, I live in the main house here, the two rooms on the right are the kitchen and utility room, and you live in the second room on the left, everything is ready-made, and the toiletries will go out to help you buy them later," Li Ran took the lead in breaking the silence and introduced the situation to Vanilla. Then let her clean up her room.

Speaking of which, Li Ran's courtyard from his grandfather is actually very small, and it is not even a courtyard house in the serious, but it is because it is in the west of the city, so if it is placed in the future, the value will definitely not be low, Yanjing has always had the saying of "rich in the east and expensive in the west", and now most of the courtyards in the west of the city have actually become miscellaneous courtyards. It's just because my grandfather's family lived here before the founding of the People's Republic of China, and retired here after the founding of the People's Republic of China, Li Ran thought that after making money, he must buy a new one, at least two courtyards, after all, he has always liked the courtyard very much, but he has no money, and now he has the opportunity to buy a set. You have to do it as soon as possible, otherwise you can't buy it if you have money, you must know that since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 91, I don't know how many people in Yanjing City have made a lot of money, and now the house price has not risen just because no one realizes it. Thinking of this, Li Ran suddenly had a sense of urgency, although he knew that he knew the future trend and the vision to lead others, but he had to make money as soon as possible, and he couldn't catch up step by step. Now that I have found a nanny and the children are taken care of, I can rest assured, and then it's time to think about making money.

Vanilla worked very neatly, and quickly cleaned up his room and came out to help Li Ran wash diapers. When the child woke up after washing the diaper, he coaxed the child without much help from Li Ran, and he was experienced at first glance, and he didn't know how much better than Li Ran in the baby's skills, soaking milk powder, feeding, coaxing the child, and washing diapers, which were extremely cumbersome things in Li Ran's opinion, but Vanilla was very handy, which made him very satisfied.

Seeing Vanilla busy work, Li Ran was relieved a lot, for the first time since he was reborn, he had time to deal with those trivial matters, took a hundred yuan from the cabinet and put it in a drawer to tell Vanilla about the expenses of buying vegetables or something, took the military ID card and file and said to Vanilla and went out.

First go to the sub-district office to issue a certificate, because he often lives in his grandfather's house, and a few years ago, his grandfather died to go through the house transfer procedures, so he is familiar with the way, the staff of the sub-district office did not embarrass him, he asked a few questions, filled out a form, and stamped him.

When I went to the army to serve as a soldier, I went to the Southern Xinjiang Military Region, because I was "demobilized", so there was no discharge certificate and administrative letter of introduction, but fortunately, I have been a Yanjing household registration since I was a child, and there is a certificate from the sub-district office, so I just need to move into the household registration. It's just that the eldest sister of the resettlement office looked at Li Ran with a very strange look, probably guessing what mistake Li Ran made in the army. Thinking about it, it's also a general mistake, it shouldn't be a young officer, just take it lightly, if it's serious, you can transfer to a local place to be a demobilized cadre, and if it's serious enough to be demobilized, but there is nothing on the file, it's too unusual, after all, if it's too serious, there will be a military tribunal, and you will never come back like this easily. Although she seemed to be very curious, the eldest sister didn't ask much, she still went through the formalities very quickly, filled out the household registration book, and stamped it to Li Ran.

There is nothing printed in the household registration book of this year, it is all handwritten. A red outer skin with three large characters written on the household registration book, and inside is a small book, stamped with a bright red seal. It has been more than a month since Li Ran came back from demobilization, and because of the pressure from the Qin family, the files and other things were done very quickly, otherwise it would not have been possible to do it in a year and a half, and it would never have been so fast.

With the new household registration book and the certificate of the sub-district office, Li Ran went to the police station to register the two children. I still have to thank the imperfection of the system in this era, or the system is not so strictly implemented, otherwise there is no marriage certificate to take the child to register. And now all you need is the certificate of the sub-district office, the household registration book and the birth certificate, and the clerk gives a form, which needs to be filled in, that is, basic information or something. There is nothing else to hesitate about, except for the names of the two children, he thought about it carefully before he came, and finally planned to name them Li Yiqing and Li Nianqing. He still can't forget the gentle figure in his memory, and he also hopes that the two children will grow up and not forget their mother, although this day seems to be far away.

Finally got the completed and stamped household registration book, opened the rough household registration book, and the first page of the household registration book said Li Ran, the head of the household, followed by his son Li Yiqing and daughter Li Nianqing, and the family of three was all concentrated in one book. Holding the household registration book, Li Ran had mixed feelings in his heart, and it was not the first time that he had his own household registration book in the two lives combined. At this time, the book in his hand is not just a certificate, but also a responsibility, a proof of his existence in this world, at this moment he really has a foothold in this world, and only then does he really have a home of his own.
