The bones of a newborn are soft, and the scent of milk on its body is irresistible. The cute little baby's old father and brother hold her in their arms and kiss and suck her all day long.

That’s right, Qiao Lu and Xu Haizhou’s child was finally named Qiao Qiao, nicknamed Qiaoqiao.

The old mother has no other requirements for her child, just that he or she should be happy and cheerful, and become a happy little beauty when he or she grows up.

So she was named "Qiao".

As for the surname... I discussed it with Xu's father and mother during the Spring Festival. Both old people said that they couldn't control Haizhou, so let him be.

Finally, Xu Haizhou made the final decision, and decided to take Qiao Lu's surname.

In the bedroom over here, the baby Qiaoqiao was being kissed endlessly by her father and brother. Qiao Lu couldn't stand it anymore and quickly called them to stop.

"Stop kissing, stop kissing. The child has a weak immune system and he will easily get hand, foot and mouth disease if you keep kissing him." Adults carry countless germs with them, and it is really scary to have such close contact with newborns at such a high frequency.

Xu Haizhou held the baby in his arms, reluctantly turned his head away, and asked his wife: "I am his father and I can't kiss him?"

Qiao Lu laughed, slowly pulled the thin blanket over her belly, and glanced at him: "No, you can't kiss him even if you are his ancestor!"

"Then can An An kiss me? I'm his brother!" The little guy jumped up and raised his hand happily!

Qiao Lu sighed and stroked his little head: "Unfortunately, I can't do that."

"Ah..." Qiao An lowered his head in disappointment.

Qiao Lu laughed out loud: "But you can touch her little feet, her little hands, and smell the scent of her neck."

Qiao An's mood turned from gloomy to bright, and he giggled and competed with his father for the chance to suck the milk of his sweet-smelling sister.

After Qiaoqiao was born, Qiaoan still did not sleep in his nursery because his sister always cried at night.

If Qiao Lu doesn't get enough rest, her milk supply will not increase, and a mother's body is in the most need of recuperation right after giving birth.

Helpless, she had to kick Xu Haizhou to the children's room and take Qiaoqiao to sleep, while Qiao Lu slept alone with her son in the master bedroom.

The mother and daughter slept well here, but as for Xu Haizhou, he couldn't sleep as long as Qiaoqiao was awake.

Occasionally, she would get up at night to find Qiao Lu to feed her. After feeding her with her eyes closed, the mother would turn over and continue to sleep. No matter whether the child cried or not, she would ask Xu Haizhou to take the child out of the room and comfort him herself so as not to disturb her and her son's rest.

The child's father held his crying daughter in his arms and stood on the balcony, looking at the stars in confusion.

That night, the night was as cool as water and dotted with stars.

How should I put it... The night breeze is quite cool, refreshing and cooling, accompanied by my daughter's loud music.

Well, that's good.

…

Xu Haizhou saved a large stack of foreign exchange bonds and originally promised his wife that he would save them to buy a washing machine. In the end, he did not save the washing machine and gave all the money to 0-year-old Qiaoqiao.

Things like milk powder and diapers... Diapers are not produced in mainland China. Pad diapers are popular these days. You just wash them when they get dirty and recycle them.

As for milk powder, it is sold in the mainland market, but Qiao Lu said that the industrial technology is not mature. Since they have coupons and can afford foreign brands of milk powder, it doesn't hurt to spend a little money to buy better ones.

Especially diapers, they are really practical, too practical. You can just throw them away after use, saving you the trouble of washing diapers.

During Qiao Lu's confinement period, Qiao Yan cooked a pot of black chicken soup and sent it to her home.

In fact, what was so difficult about making black chicken soup for Xu Haizhou? It was mainly to appreciate Qiao Yan's true love for her sister.

It is said that Qiao Lu has more experience in raising children than Qiao Yan, but Qiao Yan still habitually takes on the roles of older sister and mother.

"I originally made black chicken soup, which is quite nutritious, right? My mother-in-law insisted that I add some cordyceps to it. It's so good, but it's so expensive. Jiang He said to save it for my mother-in-law because she's not in good health. Unexpectedly, my mother-in-law was quite generous and let me put some in the soup and send it to you."

"Oh my god, Cordyceps? My brother-in-law is so amazing, he can even get this." Qiao Lu looked at her enviously and stirred the soup with a spoon. The rich and fragrant smell made her salivate even though she had been eating chicken and fish crazily to replenish her body recently and was tired of it. Seeing this big bowl of black chicken soup, she couldn't help but drool.

"Sister, your mother-in-law is so kind. She gave me such an expensive thing."

"No, someone gave it to Jiang He, asking him to do something for them. Besides, we still have some at home, so we didn't cook it all at once."

"Oh, I see." In a society where favors are valued, giving gifts makes things easier.

Originally, Qiao Yan also wanted to teach her sister how to use diapers correctly. When Qiao Ann was born, Lu Xiuhua and Qiao Yan were responsible for making diapers. Qiao Lu was in poor physical and mental condition at the time, so she was not allowed to do this kind of thing herself.

As a result, Qiao Lu said that she didn't need to teach them anymore because they bought diapers that wouldn't get wet!

Good guy, it won’t wet the diaper? What a high-end product, as white as snow, soft and thick, pour a bucket of water into it, it absorbs it completely without leaking a drop, it is hundreds of times better than diapers!

Another thing is that diapers are expensive, but the key is that they are disposable! They are thrown away after use. Newborns urinate and poop a lot, so they have to throw away several diapers a day. What are they throwing away?

It's not shit or piss, it's money! Money!

Hiss - thinking about the price, Qiao Yan felt distressed and thought that Xu Haizhou, this new father, had no idea how to live.

Qiao Lu drank a sip of soup and sighed, "Diapers are nothing. There are so many things to buy. I also want to wait until Qiaoqiao grows up and buy her a baby stroller with a canopy that can be pushed. I guess I'll have to ask someone to bring it from Hong Kong City."

Qiao Yan was shocked: "What, Hong Kong? You are quite capable, how can you know someone from Hong Kong?"

Qiao Lu said: "I have a friend whose friend is from Hong Kong."

Qiao Yan was shocked and exclaimed: "You two are amazing at doing business."

…

It was early September, eleven days before Qiao Lu finished her confinement, and on the first day, something big happened.

Baby Qiaoan is about to become a primary school student!

It’s neither fast nor slow. It seems like from the last human trafficking incident to now, from kindergarten to elementary school, it’s just a blink of an eye.

The school I chose was Li'an No. 2 Primary School, which was close to my home in Nanhu. Because I had a local hukou in Li'an and there was no concept of school district housing in those days, I could enroll directly after registering.

The school is ranked second or third in the whole of Li. The first one is Li'an City Center Primary School, which is a bit far from my home in Nanhu. It takes at least an hour to ride a bicycle there. It is better to just go to the school near my home. The difference is not much.

The day before school started, Qiao An was so sleepless that she couldn't fall asleep.

She crawled into her mother's arms at night and tossed and turned so much that she couldn't sleep.

Holding down the little guy's swaying body, Qiao Lu asked him softly, "My dear son, what's wrong? Can't you sleep? Are you suffering from insomnia?"

"Yeah, a little bit." He hugged Qiao Lu and rubbed her head.

My mother has a strong milky scent on her body. Sometimes when I smell it, it feels like she is smelling my sister.

"In the blink of an eye, you are six years old and have become a primary school student. Time flies, doesn't it, An An?"

"Hmm... too fast, if only I were still five years old."

Puff——

"When you were in kindergarten, you said you wanted to stay four years old. Now that you're in elementary school, you want to stay five years old. When you go to junior high school, do you want to stay in elementary school?"

"What is junior high school?" He raised his little head, trying to see his mother's face clearly in the dark.

"After finishing elementary school, you will go to junior high school." Qiao Lu explained.

Qiao An exclaimed: "I have to go to so many schools?"

"Yes, after junior high school, there is high school, and then there is college. If An An is more promising, she can continue her studies and switch to another school to study for a master's degree or a doctorate... then there will be no end."

"Too many, too many. If there are so many, then if I read books every day at school, won't the whole room be filled with books?"

"Well...if you read one book a day, it should be full."

"Okay." Reading still attracted him.

Feeling unable to sleep late at night, Qiao Lu chatted with her son about some nonsensical things and listened to the sporadic crying outside. She couldn't help but sigh: It's so hard to take care of a child.

"Okay, let's stop chatting and go to sleep. Mom and Dad will take you to school tomorrow."

Qiao An's eyes widened and he pushed Qiao Lu's arm. "But mom, dad said that you are in confinement now and you can only stay at home during confinement. Second aunt said that you can't be exposed to the wind. If you are exposed to the wind, you will be doomed when you are old and will get sick."

Qiao Lu laughed. She was done? How? Her son's way of expressing himself was so funny.

I hugged him and said, "It's okay. Mommy will be more careful."

Qiao An shook her head, her voice filled with anxiety: "No, no, no. Mom, Dad and I can go tomorrow, you stay at home to take care of your sister."

"Is it okay if mommy doesn't go with you? Don't cry then." Qiao Lu teased.

Qiaoan thought about it for a long time. She really wanted her mother to go with her, but...but she didn't want her mother to get sick.

So I clenched my fists and risked my life: "Mom, I can do it!"

"My baby is so good. Mommy loves you." Qiao Lu happily kissed her son on the face.

The boy held Qiaolu's head and kissed her back, kissing her milky face: "Mom, I love you too. I love you more than you love me."

…

After getting up in the morning, Xu Haizhou made breakfast for his son, and after eating, he put on his small schoolbag and went to school.

Before leaving, Qiao An ran to the bedroom, waited for her sister to finish drinking milk in her mother's arms, held her little head, and kissed her warm neck.

"Xiangxiang's little sister, brother is gone. From today on, brother will become a primary school student. Wait until brother comes back from school in the afternoon to see you."

Come on, go touch her little hands and feet. My little sister is not even a month old yet and doesn’t like to close her eyes, especially after drinking milk. She just wants to have a good sleep.

But this morning, the younger sister didn't fall asleep after drinking milk. Instead, she opened her beautiful eyes like glass and looked at her brother eagerly.

She waved her little hands in the air, trying to touch him, but her arms were too short and her body too soft, so she couldn't get up to touch him.

Qiao An's heart melted as he watched Qiaoqiao's series of actions. He was so happy that he died.

"Brother must be the first one to rush out after school, and then dad will pick me up on his bike, and then we can meet. You should listen to mom at home."

"Yes, I will listen to my mother." Qiao Lu took Qiaoqiao's hand, waved to her son, and imitated her sister's words: "Brother, please go. I will remember your words. I will wait for you at home. Just don't cry."

Qiaoan was very happy, as if her sister was really talking to her: "Okay! I won't cry! Brother is a real man!"

He turned around, took Xu Haizhou's hand, and walked out with big strides.

"Goodbye, Mom! Wait until I come back!"

"Bye, dear son!"

…

When Qiaoqiao was awake, Qiaolu had no time to think about other things. After Qiaoqiao fell asleep, the old mother began to miss her son.

Do you think about whether he cries at school, whether he has made new friends, whether the school food is to his liking, whether the teacher is nice, and whether there are extracurricular books for him to read at school? If the child encounters a word he doesn’t know, does he dare to ask the teacher?

Alas, only when you become a real parent, you will know that those nagging thoughts are not groundless. Parents’ concern for their children is ingrained in their genes and it is difficult not to think about it.

"How's it going? An An didn't cry, did he?"

An hour later, Xu Haizhou returned home and bought two bags of lotus crisps at Sulizhai to satisfy the mother's craving.

"No, after I found the spot, I was very brave and said, 'Dad, you go ahead, I can go alone.' Didn't you see that many children were crying around me, but An An was the only one who waved to me generously and let me go."

"Really? He's so sensible?" Qiao Lu said with a smile while eating lotus cake.

"Yes." Xu Haizhou smiled and held her and his daughter in his arms. "It seems that An An has become much more sensible after experiencing your birth of Qiaoqiao."

"Yeah, hey, last night, in order to prevent me from getting sick from the wind, he said he didn't need me to accompany him on the first day of school. But I could see that he really wanted me to take him to school, but he didn't say it."

Xu Haizhou laughed and sighed: "This child."

After eating a few pieces of lotus crisps, Qiao Lu poked Xu Haizhou's chest and asked, "What about you? When will you start work?"

"Wait until you're done with your confinement. There's no rush." ​​He held her hand, placed it on his lips and kissed it.

"I haven't had time to release new models for a while, and my revenue has dropped." Qiao Lu pouted. Her hands have been itching recently and she really wants to make clothes.

Xu Haizhou: "There is a long way to go. When you have some free time here, are you still worried about not making any money?"

Qiao Lu: "Well, there is really no need to rush."

Two hours later, the child woke up from his sleep and his little head was digging in Qiao Lu's arms, looking for milk.

Qiao Lu lifted up her clothes to feed him. Halfway through the meal, her nose started to itch and she sneezed.

The child was so frightened that he stopped eating and paused, staring at her as if time had stopped.

"What's wrong, Qiaoqiao? Mom sneezed, did she scare you?"

The child did not respond for a long time. Suddenly, she stretched out her soft little hand and tried to lift it upwards. She seemed to want to touch her mother's face. Her little expression seemed to be comforting her mother.

Oh, my heart melts.

Qiao Lu smiled and kissed her little hand: "It's okay, it's okay, continue eating, my dear, Qiaoqiao..."

"Qiaoqiao is well behaved, isn't she?" Xu Haizhou chuckled and poked his daughter who was drinking milk.

I just touched her little arm gently and she started crying loudly, with a deafening cry.

Xu Haizhou: “…”

Take back what you just said and pretend he didn't say it.
