After the New Year, the days passed like flowing water.

Shen Huadong will be 50 years old in April, and according to last year's policy, he should retire early.

A month before his retirement, the latest policy was taken from the central government to the local level.

The retirement age of state cadres can be 50 or 55.

This is very good news for Shen Huadong.

This means that he can sit in his original position for another 5 years.

Shen Changan joined the company too late, and what Shen Huadong was most worried about over the years was that without his own help, his son's future would not go far.

Hearing that retirement can be delayed for 5 years, Shen Huadong is the happiest.

Shen Huadong was so happy that he invited Shen Changan's family to have a meal.

Shen Changan is also very happy for his father, but he is now gradually tired of life in the system.

He can make money by doing business, so why does he force himself to work 9 to 6 every day?

Although he is comfortable with these jobs, he always feels that his efforts are not proportional to his income with that pitiful salary every month.

Uncle's business is getting better and better, and he and Lai Erniang are gradually too busy.

Jiang Li had been helping him inquire about the news in the department store, and when she was 5 months pregnant, she finally waited for a call from the department store.

The person in charge of the department store told her that there was a good spot now and asked her if she wanted to come and see it.

Jiang Li agreed without saying a word, she hung up the phone and went out with a big belly.

Zhang Yufen was frightened when she ran so fast, and hurriedly followed her.

Zhang Yufen grabbed Jiang Li's arm and insisted on walking forward with her in her arms.

Jiang Li knew that his mother had good intentions, so he didn't refuse.

Zhang Yufen accompanied Jiang Li to the office of the department store.

Jiang Li had already met with the manager of the department store, and originally thought that this cooperation would be very smooth.

But she didn't expect the manager of the department store to tell her that the rent of the shop was going to increase.

Not only will the rent of the new bunk be increased, but also the bunk she rented before.

If the rent only rises a little bit, Jiang Li may still be able to accept it, but this time the increase has reached 100%.

Jiang Li's anger came up all of a sudden.

She remembered that when her business was just starting out, it didn't take long to rent a house, and the boss raised the rent in various ways.

In the end, all the money earned from a year's hard work was paid in rent.

It's only the 70s, and it's happening again.

fell into a pit twice in a row, and it was no wonder that Jiang Li was not angry.

She immediately pulled down her face: "I have to go back and think about renting a new stall." ”

Jiang Li's face was very bad when he came out of the office, and Zhang Yufen asked worriedly.

"Xiao Li, the rent of renting a stall is so expensive now, you can only have one stall, why do you have to rent two?"

Jiang Li sighed softly, as if he had made up his mind and said.

"I probably won't be able to rent a stall."

"What about the pastry business?"

"It's a big deal to buy a piece of land and build a department store by yourself!"

Jiang Li's eyes lit up, and he quickly had an idea in his heart.

Zhang Yufen also thinks that this idea is feasible, but in this day and age, it is not so easy to buy a piece of land.

"I'm afraid you can't do this on your own, right?"

"It's not that I can't do it, or the process will be a little laborious, but if I let Shen Changan do it, it's just a matter of a few words."

"Now that I am married to Shen Changan and I am pregnant with his child in my belly, I can't worry about his pregnancy, and I can only contribute elsewhere."

When he was not married, Jiang Li liked to solve any difficulties by himself.

Now that she has Shen Changan, she also has something to rely on, so naturally she doesn't have to work as hard as before.

"You're right, you're pregnant now, it's best not to show up, if there's anything for Shen Changan to do."

Jiang Li made up his mind, and after dinner, Jiang Li pulled Shen Changan to the study and said his thoughts.

"Chang'an, will you feel embarrassed to handle this matter?"

"Of course not, as mentioned some time ago, there are too many old houses near the department store, and they can't keep up with the rapid development of the provincial capital."

"There are already plans for demolition and relocation, but now the policy has been loosened, and state-owned land can be bought by private individuals through bidding."

"There aren't many people who know the news now, and even if they do, there is no channel, your idea was early, and I still have plenty of time to operate."

Shen Changan had a faint smile on his face, almost patting his chest to reassure.

Jiang Li was also very happy to hear this result, and his gloomy mood was much better.

When Jiang Li was pregnant in June, Shen Changan brought back another piece of news.

"Your cousin has given birth to a child, and she is a daughter."

"Oh? Cousin? ”

Shen Changan didn't talk about this person, and Jiang Li still forgot a little.

It is said that she has been stupid for three years after being pregnant, although Jiang Li has not become stupid, her memory has deteriorated a lot.

She now has all her loved ones with her, and she can see them every day and live together.

As for the cousin, aunt, and second uncle, the conflict with them was obviously a year or two ago, and it seemed like a century had passed for him.

Since they moved to the provincial capital, it has been a long time since they have seen these people, and no one has taken the initiative to mention them.

Jiang Li gradually sealed them in the corner of his memory, forgetting them little by little.

Now that Shen Changan suddenly mentioned it, the things in Jiang Li's memory began to revive.

The cousin wanted to calculate Shen Changan, but was put on a stand by Zhou Yongnan.

She slept with the drunkard found on Zhou Yongnan Street, and then became pregnant with the drunkard's child.

Later, he was tied up by Shen Changan and forcibly married to the drunkard.

As a result, the drunkard was a bastard, spending all day drinking outside, and when he came back, he abused Song Jialin.

Jiang Li originally thought that Song Jialin had already been killed.

I didn't expect her to be so tenacious and survive in such a difficult environment.

has been abused so many times, and the child in her belly is still stable, and now she has even been born smoothly.

Jiang Li didn't know for a while whether to be happy for her or what.

It's just that I heard that the man she married was extremely patriarchal, and she hoped to be a son when she was just pregnant.

Now that Song Jialin was born a daughter, I don't know how exciting the follow-up will be.

"She, is she okay now?"

Jiang Li was a little curious, and couldn't help but say more.

"It's definitely not good, I've been beaten since I was pregnant, and then my belly is a month old, and I have to sleep with that drunkard."

"But speaking of which, she is really strong enough, she saw her several times during pregnancy, but she never had a miscarriage, and she may have successfully given birth to a child, even I am surprised."
