After solving the problem of recruiting workers, the next step is the messy purchasing project.

Those who had previously exchanged the factory's equipment for wages were now being bought back by Xu Haizhou at second-hand prices, on the condition that the machines were at least half-new. Old machines were not wanted, and it would be better to buy new equipment with the money.

If you need it, you can exchange it for money. If you think it is unnecessary, just keep it at home for your own use.

But apart from sewing machines, most of the equipment the workers take home is not of much use. Instead, it takes up space. It is a pity to sell it as scrap metal.

In the end, two-thirds of the old employees chose to take the equipment back to the factory in exchange for money.

It was another tiring day. When she got home in the afternoon, Qiao Lu was so tired that she didn't even want to move her fingers.

I clearly didn't do any physical work, so would my physical strength decrease while I was using my brain?

Qiaoqiao, who just turned one month old, has no idea how many times she has run around with her parents. She is very willful at home and cries whenever she wants, without giving anyone any face at all.

Outside, he is a sensible little angel. He doesn't cry or make a fuss. When he is hungry, he opens his mouth and raises his little hands.

When I feel sleepy, I just yawn and go to sleep. It's so easy to take care of.

Before going home tonight, the little guy fell asleep in his mother's arms. When he got home and turned on the light, his pink nose twitched, maybe because he smelled the familiar smell of home, and after a while, his big eyes slowly opened.

The first thing he saw when he opened his eyes was his mother. He yawned and raised his hands, asking her to hold him.

Qiao Lu chuckled, waited for Xu Haizhou to change his shoes, handed the child to him, and then changed her own shoes.

After changing, he took his daughter's hand and kissed her fair and tender face again and again.

"My dear, wake up. Are you hungry? Do you want some milk?"

The little guy couldn't speak, he just looked at his mother and smiled.

"Mom! Dad! Where's my sister? Let me see my sister!" Qiao An hadn't seen anyone all day, and now that she was thinking about her, her shouts were twice as loud as usual.

He ran out of the room and kissed his sister, who was so sweet and soft. After the kiss, the little baby blew bubbles at him and raised her little hands, as if interacting with him. She was so good.

"Don't be impatient, let me put my sister down and kiss her again."

The two adults have been busy with factory work in recent days. After discussing with An An, they decided that they would not be able to pick him up in the afternoon, so they asked Grandma Zhang downstairs to pick up Qiao An on the way to pick up her granddaughter from the elementary school.

Of course Mrs. Zhang agreed. It's okay to pick up one child, or two children. They are neighbors, so just consider it as a favor. She would be happy to ask for help next time, right?

Fortunately, although An An was in a low mood for a while, she quickly adjusted herself and said, "Well, then mom and dad, please take care of your own things first. When you are done, come pick me up, okay?"

He always speaks in a negotiating tone, so sensible that it makes people sigh.

"An An, you haven't had dinner yet, are you hungry? Mom and Dad will take you to a restaurant later."

"Okay, then let me hug my sister first." Eating is not as fun as hugging my sister.

Qiao Lu laughed, handed Qiao Qiao to him, and gently brushed away the loose hair on Qiao An's forehead: "My dear son, how was school today? Did you have a lot of homework?"

Holding her sister in her arms, she carefully sat down on the sofa. Only after she was firmly seated did Qiao Lu let go of her hand that had been resting under Qiaoqiao's body.

"Mom, I have a lot of homework today. I have been working on it since I came back. I finally finished it one minute before you came back. We learned pinyin. My classmates didn't know it. The teacher didn't teach me yet, but I can read it all because mom taught me a long time ago. It's so easy."

Now it seems that he deserves to be the study committee member!

"Great." She rubbed his little head, leaned on the sofa, and asked, "Are there any questions you don't understand? Mommy will help you."

Holding her sister and kissing her, Qiao An happily shook her head: "No, I can do it. It's very simple."

Wiping the saliva from the corner of her daughter's mouth, Qiao Lu laughed: "That's good."

Turning around, he said to Xu Haizhou, who was pouring water in the kitchen, "Haizhou, bring one of the baby's diapers over here. It's time to change her."

"Well, do you want some water?" he asked, raising the cup in his hand.

"Have a drink."

After pouring a glass of water for my wife, I went into the room to see if my urine was wet.

I twist my neck as I walk. I'm quite tired every day.

Qiao Lu took the diaper, picked up Qiaoqiao from Qiao An's arms, and laid her flat on the sofa.

Xu Haizhou took the opportunity to sit down beside her and fiddled with her cute little feet, making the little girl giggle and kick her feet non-stop.

"Don't be funny." Qiao Lu slapped Xu Haizhou's hand away with a smile: "How can I change if my feet keep kicking? You do it?"

Xu Haizhou immediately let go of his daughter's little feet, and looked at her with a smile on his thin lips.

Qiao Lu smiled and shook her head, untied the diaper on her daughter's butt and replaced it with a new one.

The baby's butt was a little dirty, so I took it to the toilet, poured some water from the thermos, adjusted the water temperature, and washed the baby's butt.

When he held her in his arms, the little guy had no idea what was going on in his heart. He was just laughing and giggling non-stop.

After washing, I took the baby out and threw him on the sofa. He started moving his little hands and feet excitedly, waving his arms and legs, and couldn't stop.

Over there, a father and his son were sitting together reading Qiaoan's Chinese book. The little boy was asking his father to teach him the words he didn't recognize in the story.

Qiao Lu was on the other side, changing her daughter's diaper.

The little girl had just laid down on the sofa and had not fallen asleep yet. When Qiao Lu sat down next to her, she half-picked her up and then playfully threw her head into her mother's arms.

After he fell, Qiao Lu helped him up, and Qiaoqiao suddenly let out a clear laugh.

This was the first time her mother heard her laugh. She thought it was so novel and quickly changed her diaper so that her father and brother could hear it.

She was very considerate. As soon as she was held in Xu Haizhou's arms, she started giggling. Her voice was as clear as a bell, so adorable!

For dinner, I found a Chinese restaurant nearby. It was my first time eating there and the food was pretty good. After the meal, I packed a portion of crispy pork to take home as a midnight snack. It tasted delicious.

"I'm tired." After returning home from dinner, Qiao Lu felt so tired that she didn't even want to move her fingers.

He turned his neck tiredly and walked towards the sofa: "Haizhou, I'll leave the factory affairs to you. You also have to take care of Qiaoqiao. I don't have the energy anymore. I'm so tired."

While changing his shoes, Xu Haizhou replied, "Well, Anxin stays at home to take care of Qiaoqiao and An'an, and I'll take care of the outside world."

"Mom, I'm going to take a shower first!" After saying that, the little guy sneaked into the room, found his pajamas, and ran into the bathroom in a hurry.

How could a mother not know his little thoughts? He just wanted to take a bath quickly and go to bed to play with his sister.

With a click, the bathroom door closed.

After putting the sleeping Qiaoqiao into the cradle, Qiao Lu stood up, walked behind Xu Haizhou and put her arms around his waist.

She was just about to give him a kiss on the cheek, but he leaned over, held her head and kissed her red lips.

Turning over and over, a kiss that started out lightly and then gradually deepened...

“Hmm—”

"I'm a little unprepared, please be gentle..." Pushing him away, their breaths entwined, their temperatures scalding, Qiao Lu glared at him reproachfully.

Her eyes were like hooks, making Xu Haizhou's heart tremble.

After Qiaoqiao was one month old, the couple had sex with her a few times, always while Anan was at school and Qiaoqiao was asleep.

Since he got busy at the factory, he hadn't been able to spend time with her for a long time. Every day when he got home, he fell asleep immediately. He looked at the watch on his wrist and it was only 7:30 in the evening. Xu Haizhou began to feel distracted.

The hands moved dishonestly.

Qiao Lu chuckled and pushed him: "Don't make a fuss, An An just went in to take a shower and came out right away."

Remembering how fast my son takes a bath, I picked her up horizontally.

"Hey, what are you doing!" Seeing the scarlet sparks in the man's eyes, Qiao Lu knew that something was going to happen!

The old couple couldn't help blushing: "No, An An will be out soon."

He put his arm around her waist, walked into the room, and locked the door.

"He takes a long time to shower. It will take at least another fifteen minutes. Let's finish it quickly."

"Fifteen minutes..." Qiao Lu covered her face and said, "I advise you to finish it within five minutes!"

Xu Haizhou smiled meaningfully: "Five minutes? Are you sure? Don't wait until then..."

After saying that, he paused for two seconds and joked, "Don't think I'm too fast. If you keep pestering me, I'll..."

Qiao Lu: “…”

No! Absolutely not!

Then, a barrage of kisses fell on her lips, her forehead, her eyes...

“Hmm—”

Like a surging wave, it continues without end.

I'll make out with the male lead today. It's been a long time since I last saw him.
