On the tenth day of August, more people from the Xi Society came.
When Zhou Aiguo sent someone to inform Qiao Qingqing to arrive at the brigade headquarters, Qiao Qingqing was discussing the Mid-Autumn Festival with Zhang Miaomiao, Yao Xiaoman and others.
It's Mid-Autumn Festival again. Zhang Miaomiao's baby Zhuangzhuang is more than a month old. It's time for them to have fun. Even Qiao Qingqing likes to hug the chubby Zhuangzhuang.
Fortunately, the triplets have many godmothers, and each of them holds one baby, so none of the babies are left out.
Yao Xiaoman said with a nostalgic look on her face: "In the past, my parents' company would give out mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Now we can't eat real mooncakes, but we can make some fake mooncakes ourselves."
Zhang Miaomiao sighed, "Who doesn't want to eat sweet mooncakes? But making this stuff uses up a lot of sugar. Do you have sugar coupons? I've already used up all the sugar in our house."
During the confinement period, one should drink brown sugar water to expel lochia, so Qiao Qingqing and Zhang Miaomiao can’t afford sugar.
Yao Xiaoman immediately became depressed. "My family is in this situation now... Forget it. I'll just tighten my belt and live a frugal life from now on."
"Even though we can't eat mooncakes, we can still get together for a meal." Qiao Qingqing smiled and comforted her.
It was at this time that Zhou Jianmin came running.
As soon as she heard that they were from the Xi Society, Zhang Miaomiao urged her to hurry up.
"It must be a good thing that the company is looking for you. Come on, don't keep them waiting for too long."
Qiao Qingqing held Zhuangzhuang and stood up, "Then Zhuangzhuang..."
"Give it to me." Zhou Jianmin said, taking his nephew, "Zhuangzhuang, come here, uncle."
In a hurry, Qiao Qingqing could only entrust her three children to them: "Please help me take care of the children. If the children cry before I come back..."
"It's okay. I'm here. What are you afraid of?" Zhang Miaomiao interrupted her and urged her, "Don't worry."
Qiao Qingqing left, and it was not convenient for Zhou Jianmin to stay here with a group of female comrades with a child in his arms.
Zhou Jianmin looked at Zhang Miaomiao and said, "Sister-in-law, can I take Zhuangzhuang to find my brother?"
Zhang Miaomiao nodded, "Okay, let's go find his father."
Zhou Jianmin held his nephew in his arms and followed Qiao Zhiqing to the brigade headquarters.
Shi Meijun came out of the toilet and was wondering why she didn't see Qingqing. Then she heard Yao Xiaoman say that she had met someone from the community at the brigade headquarters.
Shi Meiyun came over and took her grandson from Zhang Miaomiao's arms. She said to Zhang Miaomiao, "Thank you for your hard work. If you are worried about Zhuangzhuang, come over and take a look."
"What's there to worry about? His uncle has taken him to look for his dad, and his grandfather is there too. I'm just happy to have some free time." Zhang Miaomiao changed her sitting position, picked up the squid on the table, peeled it and put it in her mouth, and continued to chat with them. In between, she would ask Lu's mother how people in Beijing celebrate the holidays.
On the other side, Qiao Qingqing rushed to the brigade headquarters.
The room was not big to begin with, but now it was packed with people.
Hearing the noise, they all looked over.
That scene shocked Qiao Qingqing, and she felt like a piece of fat meat being targeted by a pack of wolves...
"Qiao Zhiqing, come quickly!"
Zhou Aiguo went forward to greet her enthusiastically. After calling her in, he immediately introduced her to a middle-aged man in work clothes: "This is Qiao Zhiqing, Comrade Qiao Qingqing. It was thanks to Qiao Zhiqing that the big borer in the Ning family was caught!"
