Chapter 502 Zhou Xiye's Secret
Jiang Zhizhi curiously followed and looked over, but there was a large crowd and nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
Still holding a cup of oil tea, she could only nudge Zhou Xiye with her elbow: "What are you looking at?"
Zhou Xiye looked away and said, "I see there are some sugar figurines over there. Let's go buy two for Xiao Zhouji and Shangshang."
Jiang Zhizhi naturally didn't believe it. Why would someone be so tense when watching a sugar figurine seller?
She didn't ask any questions, and just smiled, "Okay, let's go buy some sugar figurines."
Both of them were in good physical condition and explored every corner of the temple fair before heading home as it was getting dark.
Jiang Zhizhi then felt a little guilty: "Didn't we go too far? Leaving the child at home and going out to eat, drink, and have fun all day."
Zhou Xiye laughed: "It's okay, we can bring them tomorrow."
Jiang Zhizhi suddenly had a change of heart: "No need, anyway, when they grow up and go out to play, they won't take us with them, they'll just walk home!"
The two people went home happily, while the two children sat on the sofa pouting and unhappy.
Seeing Jiang Zhizhi return with food, Shangshang became even more upset, pouting angrily: "Mom and Dad went out to play again, without taking Shangshang and Xiaozhouji with them."
When Little Zhou saw the food, he had already forgotten that his parents hadn't taken him out. He climbed off the sofa and ran over happily, saying, "Mom, Little Zhou, eat!"
Jiang Zhizhi smiled and took Xiao Zhouji's hand, then went to coax Shang Shang: "Do you want some sesame candy? And some osmanthus cake, do you want some?"
Shangshang's anger only lasted a second. When she heard her mother say there was something delicious, she smacked her lips and immediately smiled broadly: "Mommy, I want to eat! Shangshang wants to eat too!"
Jiang Zhizhi took the two children over to eat, and Fang Hua smiled and said, "Look at these two little guys, they keep asking all day long, 'Where's Daddy? Where's Mommy?' They're very clever; they know you went out to play again today."
“Normally when you go to work, they don’t bother you because they know you’re there to work. But these past two days, they’ve known you’re there to have fun.”
The little girl Shangshang is quite shrewd with her mouth. While eating, she discussed with Jiang Zhizhi, "Mommy, take Shangshang with you when we go out to play tomorrow."
Jiang Zhizhi smiled and tapped her little nose: "Okay, take Shangshang with you when we go out to play tomorrow."
Shang Shang nodded in satisfaction, swallowed the sesame candy in her mouth, and then said, "Mommy, you can't lie, or your nose will grow longer."
Jiang Zhizhi laughed: "Okay, I won't lie."
Little Zhou didn't say a word, he just stuffed his mouth full of sesame candy, his little mouth almost unable to close, happily tilting his face up to enjoy the delicious taste.
Zhou Xiye sat on the sofa, watching the warm interaction between Jiang Zhizhi and Shang Shang, as well as the adorable actions of little Zhou Ji.
He pinched the bridge of his nose; he shouldn't have doubted it.
...
The next day, the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Shang Shiying's family hosted a dinner party.
Jiang Zhizhi and Zhou Xiye, along with Shang Shang and Xiao Zhouji, went ahead to help, while Fang Hua and Zhou Chengyu went over at mealtime.
I'm worried there won't be enough seats if there are too many people.
Song Wanying and Jiang Zhenhua arrived early in the morning. After learning that Shen Luojia was pregnant, Song Wanying thought about making something delicious and sending it over every day.
It's either stewed meat or soup.
Meanwhile, Shang Shiying fed Shen Luojia a lot at home, and in just a few days, Shen Luojia's face became rounder.
She ate happily, but Jiang Zhizhi was both amused and exasperated, advising Song Wanying and Shang Shiying: "You two need to restrain yourselves and not feed her like this. If the mother becomes too fat, it will be difficult for her to give birth."
Shang Shiying looked at Shen Luojia: "Is she fat? I think Luojia is very thin. Look at how much she has eaten. I don't know where all the weight has gone."
Song Wanying also thought Shen Luojia was very thin: "It's okay, just be careful later. She's pregnant now, and there are two of them eating, so she has to make sure she gets enough nutrition."
Jiang Zhizhi couldn't reason with the two of them, so she could only advise Shen Luojia: "After you finish eating, remember to exercise more. Take a walk in the yard whenever you have time."
Shen Luojia nodded: "I walk every day, and Li Simin also told me to exercise."
During their conversation, Fang Hua came over and called Zhou Xiye, saying that he had Zhou's phone number at home.
Zhou Xiye went home and answered the phone, then didn't come over again. He just told Fang Hua to tell him that he was going out to take care of some things and would be back later.
Jiang Zhizhi was a little curious about who had called Zhou Xiye. Could it be Song Dong?
Shang Shiying asked Fang Hua, "When will Nishino's vacation end this time? It seems like this vacation is quite long."
Fang Hua smiled and said, "By the end of the month, after the Lantern Festival, I'll be spending a lot of time at home this time."
Shang Shiying nodded: "That's great. Look how happy Shang Shang and Xiao Zhou are."
Fang Hua is very satisfied with her current life: "After living half my life in fear, I can finally rest easy now. My children are all safe and sound around me, and I have no other regrets."
If there's any regret, it's that the children from before didn't survive.
Zhou Xiye didn't come back after dinner.
Jiang Zhizhi and Shen Luojia took their two children to the square to go ice skating.
After becoming pregnant, Shen Luojia was still very careful; she didn't jump around or run around like before.
It's rare to see the word "composure" in her.
After playing for a while and eating wontons, Jiang Zhizhi and Fang Hua took the two children home.
Zhou Xiye still hasn't returned.
Fang Hua was puzzled: "Who would be looking for him during the Chinese New Year?"
It sounded like a woman's voice.
Jiang Zhizhi also wondered, "He probably went to find Brother Song Dong."
Fang Hua shook his head: "It's not Song Dong's voice. I don't recognize it. It's high-pitched and thin, like a woman's."
Jiang Zhizhi was even more surprised: "Like a woman?"
Fang Hua nodded: "Anyway, it's a voice I've never heard before. You can ask about it later."
Why do I say he's like a woman? She thinks that, given Zhou Xiye's personality, no woman would approach him.
Zhou Xiye didn't return until after dinner, when he was preparing to bathe the two children.
Fang Hua asked first, "Who was looking for you? I heard a woman's voice on the phone."
Zhou Xiye nodded: "It's a female colleague from work who called me back for an emergency meeting."
Fang Hua was relieved. Seeing Jiang Zhizhi carrying the child to the bathroom, he whispered, "Even if she's a female colleague, we should keep our distance. We don't want any gossip to spread."
Zhou Xiye was both amused and exasperated: "Mom, what nonsense are you talking about? No way."
She changed her clothes and went to the bathroom to help Jiang Zhizhi bathe the two children.
Jiang Zhizhi casually asked, "Why are we having a meeting today? Are we starting work early?"
Zhou Xiye shook his head: "No, it's just that there's an exercise plan that needs to be adjusted, which is why there was an impromptu meeting."
Jiang Zhizhi didn't take it to heart; it's normal for plans to change at the last minute.
He reached out and splashed water on Xiao Zhouji, making Xiao Zhouji giggle and splash the water in the basin with his little hands.
Zhou Xiye looked at Jiang Zhizhi, who was gently bathing her son, and swallowed the question that was about to come out of his mouth.
He reached out to help his son take a bath...
