The activities during the first month of the lunar year are rich and colorful, more interesting than those on New Year's Eve.

On the first day of the first lunar month, I took Qiao An to visit my second aunt's home to pay New Year's greetings. Qiao Yan spent the Spring Festival at her mother-in-law's home in the west of the city. Qiao Lu and her family of three went there to pay New Year's greetings and then left. After all, we didn't know each other and we felt uncomfortable staying for too long.

The second day of the Chinese New Year is also called the day of welcoming the son-in-law. A can of maltose, a few packs of peach cakes and various pastries are considered as the return gift.

The main reason for Qiao Lu to go back to her parents' home was to see how her parents were doing at home. She was relieved to find that Niu Qiaoli was no longer demanding on their food. Before leaving, Niu Qiaoli pulled Xu Haizhou aside to have a private conversation. After she came back, Qiao Lu asked him and found out that the woman wanted to send her 17-year-old brother to the city to eat at the government's table and asked Xu Haizhou for help!

Her brother graduated from primary school, and he can do nothing except farming and making a living. What can he do in the city? Even if he is a street sweeper, he needs a town hukou!

"Did you agree?"

Xu Haizhou curled his lips: "Of course."

"Ah, but..."

Xu Haizhou held her cold hand and rubbed it: "Don't worry, I have agreed, but it's not like I can get a job in the city just by saying so these days. If she really comes to me, I will have a way."

Qiao Lu curled her lips and didn't continue the topic: "Anyway, just know it in your heart, don't bring trouble to yourself, her brothers and sisters from her mother's family are not good people."

"Yeah, I know."

On the third day of the Chinese New Year, I visited a temple fair and took Qiao An to worship Buddha. It was the first time for the little guy to come to such a place. Looking at the lifelike reliefs of the Eighteen Arhats on the wall, he didn't know where to look.

Later, Xu Haizhou bought three incense sticks. The little boy curiously imitated his parents and knelt in front of the big Buddha, putting his hands together. His mother said she wanted to make a wish to the Buddha.

"Well... Grandpa Buddha, I want my mother to be with me forever!"

puff--

"An An, you can't speak your wishes out loud. If you do, they won't come true."

The young man nodded seriously, put his hands together and bowed again, silently saying in his heart: "Buddha, please bless me. I want to make a new wish. I still want my mother to be with me forever."

After visiting the temples, you can visit the various New Year goods stalls, which are basically a market for children. Everywhere you go, you can hear them crying and clamoring to buy food.

Qiao An was disgusted by this and snorted in a baby voice: "They are not good children. I won't cry. Mom will buy me whatever I want to eat, right, Mom?"

Qiao Lu: “???”

Find another way?

Son, are you trying to flatter your mother?

"Overpraising"!

Xu Haizhou has to set up his stall on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, which is the time when the flow of people is the highest in the year, so he has to sacrifice time to spend with his wife and children. After the Lantern Festival, he will find an opportunity to take a few days off to spend time with his mother and children.

Qiao Lu could understand him. No matter what, making money was the most important thing. Being with them, mother and son, was always important.

After New Year's Eve, it was the year 1983. This was not a peaceful year, but a year destined to be fraught with turmoil.

Thinking about some things that will happen this year, Qiao Lu doesn't plan to be too high-profile. The idea of ​​starting a business flashed through her mind, but she decided not to do it on a large scale for the time being, at least not to design clothes for the time being.

You can try something more common, such as socks! There is also a great demand for this, and if it is done well, it will not be worse than selling gloves.

After all, socks are worn all year round, but gloves are only used in winter.

That night, while the child was asleep, Qiao Lu discussed the matter with Xu Haizhou.

"I recently suddenly thought of some design inspiration for women's socks. I will make some samples for you to try. If they sell well, I might make more money than gloves."

Don't underestimate these small socks. Although a pair is not as expensive as a set of clothes, the profit can be considerable if you sell them in large quantities.

"Okay, but the Red Army sells socks next door to me, and if I sell them again..." It just doesn't feel good.

"It doesn't mean that we have to make socks..." Qiao Lu suddenly had an idea: "Well, why don't you two work together? He is so eloquent and a good salesman! You have a good image, so you can go and get orders and do business..."

"You're still doing business? What kind of business can you do by setting up a stall?" Xu Haizhou pinched her cheeks with amusement. They were softer than his son's.

Qiao Lu seemed to have just woken up and slapped his hand away: "Yeah, it's not easy to run around these days... But it's okay, you two can cooperate first. If you want to develop this small stall in the future, how can you not run business? You can't set up a stall for the rest of your life, right? I also want to open a store in a year or two. So this is the only way! And long-term development definitely requires a team, right? One person can't form a team, at least two people... Although, I can help you, but I'm only good at technology. It's okay for me to make clothes and socks, but I may not understand business matters as well as you do."

"What you said now makes me feel that you understand a lot." Xu Haizhou laughed, and his eyes became softer as he looked at his wife.

Qiao Lu smiled awkwardly and said, "No, I just...read a few books casually..."

No matter how rare it is, as long as you say you read it in a book, it's fine...

"In fact, we have a pretty good understanding of each other. I asked the Red Army whether they wanted to join me before the New Year." Xu Haizhou suddenly said.

Qiao Lu became interested and found a comfortable position in his arms and continued to lie down: "What did he say?"

Xu Haizhou touched her shoulder and said, "He is considering it, mainly because he is afraid of conflicts of interest."

As the saying goes, brothers should settle accounts clearly. Even the best relationship may not be so pure once interests are involved. Li Hongjun cherishes the fate between the two.

"Let's do it first. You two should discuss it first. After you have discussed it, you can decide whether to cooperate or not. If it doesn't work, we can look for other candidates later. What are you afraid of? There are so many people in Li'an City. Are you afraid that you can't find someone?"

"Well, let's talk about it later."

…

Qiao Lu started the job after the Lantern Festival and spent half a day drawing three design drawings, including long socks, short socks and medium-length socks. Some have different patterns, and some have different edges at the entrance, which can be made into waves or various interesting edges.

As a result, when I arrived at the department store, I found that many styles of materials were not available. Later I remembered that most of the socks were crocheted by machines, and the socks made by hand would at most be modified. It is impossible for her to crochet by herself just to design socks, right? That would take a lot of time, and time cost is also a cost.

After racking my brains, I gave up the idea of ​​selling socks.

Hmm... think about what else she can sell... it would be best if it has something unique, not ugly, and is related to her profession...

Yeah! Got it!

There is no time to waste. Qiao Lu busy herself with drafting, and then drawing a complete design. Now she is no longer designing socks, but bags!

Leather is difficult to handle and expensive, so test it with a cloth bag first.

This is even easier to make than socks. There is no specific size for the style and size, so you have a lot of freedom. You don’t have to crochet it separately if you want any color, you can just use the patchwork method, which is both creative and beautiful.

We first designed three sample bags. One is about the size of two adult palms, which is suitable for young people to wear when traveling, as it does not take up space or weigh down the body. One has the capacity of an ordinary canvas bag, which is suitable for storing books and is mostly used by students. The other has a large capacity and is specially designed for women with children. It can be used to store their own and their baby’s belongings when they go out. It can be carried on one shoulder, across the body, or as a backpack. It has three uses in one bag!

Of course, the more features it has, the more expensive it is.

Qiao Lu was working hard when her son's cautious voice suddenly came from the door: "Mom, Mom, I'm hungry. When are we going to eat?"

He was afraid of disturbing his mother from doing her work, so he spoke very softly.

Qiao Lu raised her head and glanced at him: "What time is it?"

The boy looked up at the wall and said, "Mom, it's already one or two o'clock!"

Qiao Lu turned her head to look at the wall and laughed, "Wrong again, it's twelve, not one or two."

"Well, Mom, it's already twelve o'clock! I'm hungry!" After saying that, he patted his belly. The crisp crackling sound made him laugh.

She hooked her finger at him, and the little guy ran over, allowing his mother to touch his belly with her gentle palm, feeling the soft flesh.

"Oh, your belly is quite fat, are you hungry now?"

"Yeah!" Qiao An nodded seriously and looked at him: "Mom, I'm really hungry. I just heard my stomach growling! It said, I want to eat! It asked me to call mom to cook!"

Phew——my imagination is becoming more and more abundant.

"Okay, go out and play with the kids for a while. Mom will cook dinner right away."

Finally, I sewed the strap of the canvas bag and went to the kitchen. Halfway through cooking, I realized that there was no soy sauce in the soy sauce bottle. I hurriedly turned off the fire and prepared to go to the grocery store to get more soy sauce.

Suddenly remembering something, Qiao Lu shouted into the yard: "An An! Come here quickly!"

Qiao An had just run to the loquat tree, preparing to continue playing hopscotch with a few other children. When she heard her mother calling her, she immediately left the children behind and said, "Mom, I'm here!"

Qiao Lu had always wanted to find an opportunity to train her son's independence, and now the opportunity had come.

"An An, can you help mommy get a bottle of soy sauce from Aunt Qingping's store?" Song Qingping is Aunt Chen's second daughter-in-law, and now works in a street grocery store.

"I can!" He loves helping his mother the most.

However, when he received the money and the can of soy sauce, Qiao An was suddenly confused again.

Although he had accompanied his mother to fetch soy sauce several times, he had never gone to fetch soy sauce alone. He suddenly felt a little embarrassed to fetch soy sauce by himself and have to talk to the uncles and aunts.

But he had already promised his mother, so he had to complete it no matter what, even if his face had to turn red!

Wearing a small scarf, small gloves, and a hat with panda ears, he set out with an empty bottle in his hand like a little warrior. His expression as if he was going to die made Qiao Lu laugh.

Wiping her hands on her apron, the old mother followed silently.

In the yard, Auntie Chen from the opposite side was hanging clothes in front of the door. Seeing this, she called him over: "Hey, Qiao An, where are you going with a jar in your hand?"

Qiao An was quite familiar with the aunts of the Chen and Tian families, so she was not that shy. She replied in a soft voice, "Auntie, I'll go get some soy sauce for Mom!"

Aunt Chen raised her eyebrows in surprise: "Ah! You're going alone! Your mother won't go with you?"

The young man shook his head and said firmly: "I want to go by myself, because I am a man!"

A man can do anything by himself!

Auntie Chen laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten her back: "Ah, my, my - you are such a funny kid, go ahead, go ahead, be careful on the road."

"Hey! Qiao An, do you want me to take you there?" Although Chen Jiamei disliked Qiao Lu a little bit, who told her to call herself Chen Shimei? But she did like Qiao Lu's son "a little bit".

There's nothing we can do about it. Who made the child look so cute and speak so softly and cutely?

The boy still shook his head and took bigger steps: "Thank you, sister. I don't want you to take me. I can do it myself."

After saying this, he bit his little mouth and walked out of the yard with firm steps. His legs were bouncing up and down, and his back looked like a "lone hero".

All the neighbors came out to watch Qiao An making soy sauce, and watched him leave the compound with amusement, laughing non-stop. They all wondered how Qiao Lu could have raised such a precious child, who was so adorable!

Qiao Lu chased after them not too far away, and everyone then realized that it was the other person's mother who had been following them.

Aunt Chen called her and said, "Qiao Lu, I just saw your son carrying an empty bottle to get soy sauce. Is that true?"

She was planning to go to Xu Haizhou's room to find Qiao Lu. The child was shy, and Qiao Lu, as a mother, was not worried, but she, as a neighbor, was worried!

Qiao Lu kept walking: "Yes, I want to train his courage. I am following him secretly."

Aunt Chen smiled twice and said, "That's a good idea. Let's go!"

We followed them from the inner courtyard to the entrance of the alley and the journey was very smooth. We met many neighbors from the larger courtyards on the way, who greeted the little guy curiously and enthusiastically. Qiao An was very polite and kept saying thank you to everyone, "Auntie, thank you uncle, thank you brother and sister."

"Hey, look at that beautiful kid."

"Is that child Xu Haizhou's son?"

“It seems so.”

A bicycle leisurely rode behind the young man. Sitting on the back seat was Xu Si Miao, who lived in the outer courtyard, and the one riding the bicycle was her boyfriend.

The man greeted Qiao An: "Hey! Kid! Are you from Xu Haizhou's family?"

Hearing them calling his father's name, Qiao An turned around and looked at the two of them in confusion without stopping: "Yes! He is my father!"

"Yeah, that's true." The young couple looked at each other and laughed.

Xu Simiao smiled and asked, "Little boy, where are you going with the jar? Why is there no one with you?"

Qiao An looked at the two people carefully, wondering if they were bad people. Why did they keep following him and asking questions? His mother said that he should try not to talk to strangers outside.

Fortunately, it was the lunch rush hour and the alley was crowded with people, which made him less scared.

"I'm going to make soy sauce for my mother, don't ask me!" After saying that, he accelerated and sprinted away.

However, there was no way her short legs could outrun a bicycle. She was easily caught up by Xu Simiao's boyfriend, who followed slowly behind him on a bicycle.

"Hey, kid, be careful. You're so pretty that you'll easily be targeted by traffickers. They'll take you to a ravine and you'll never see your mother again."

After saying this, Qiao An's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

The thought that he might be captured by bad guys and never see his mother again made him sweat profusely and his head swelled up.

But, but there are so many people in the alley, he, he is not afraid...

As soon as he said this, his voice became quieter: "I, I'm not scared, I'm a man, don't follow me!"

The boy ran faster and faster, his short legs enabling him to run at an astonishing speed. The couple were frightened as they watched him, fearing that he would fall.

Xu Simiao quickly called out to him, "Hey! Kid! Don't run! Don't run! Be careful not to fall! We won't follow you, don't run!"

She patted her boyfriend on the back in annoyance and said, "I'm telling you, stop chasing me! Be careful that the child doesn't fall!"

Xu Simiao's boyfriend smiled nonchalantly, but still slowed down his pace: "This kid is really funny."

While riding, the couple suddenly saw Qiao Lu following closely behind. Then they realized that it was their mother who had been following them all along!

They looked at each other, smiled and greeted each other, and then Qiao Lu followed her son.

Behind them, Xu Simiao's boyfriend looked at Qiao Lu's receding figure and said, "Hey, I heard she was a widow, right? She raised her child well."

Xu Simiao was not happy to hear these words, as they sounded discriminatory. She grabbed his arm and said, "You are a widow but you are also a woman. Do you know what a mother is and what maternal love is? You are being rude!"

Seeing that his girlfriend was serious and afraid of a quarrel, the gay man quickly surrendered: "Yes, yes, I won't say it anymore."

Without any distractions, Qiao An trotted all the way to the grocery store. Only after he entered the store and saw the familiar Song Qingping did he take a few deep breaths.

"Auntie."

"Ah! Qiao An, why are you here?" Song Qingping put down the feather duster, expressing her great surprise. She looked around and wondered, "Where's your mother? She's not here?"

"Auntie, I, I want to get some soy sauce." The kid trembled as he carried the bottle of soy sauce to the counter, but his legs were too short to even reach the edge of the counter.

Song Qingping quickly reached out and picked it up, and Qiao An finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Get soy sauce? Where's your mother? Why are you alone today?" I looked towards the door again in disbelief, but still didn't see anyone.

The young man shook his head and looked at her, and said crisply: "I am alone, and my mother asked me to make soy sauce by myself."

"Oh, really? Your mother is so cruel, you are only a few years old and she lets you go out to get soy sauce." If she had such a good boy, how dare she let him go out alone! What if he was stolen?

"Auntie, I'm already three and a half years old." Qiao An held up three fingers and gestured: "I can make soy sauce by myself."

What I mean is, don’t look down on him!

"Oh, that's great!" Song Qingping smiled so hard that wrinkles appeared at the corners of his eyes.

My colleague next door, a young lesbian in her early twenties, also looked at the child with interest.

"How funny! Whose child is this?"

Song Qingping smiled and said, "It's just opposite my house. You know Xu Haizhou, his son!"

"Oh~" The female comrade suddenly realized and her heart began to pound.

So this is what Xu Haizhou’s son looks like. They are truly father and son, both are good-looking!

Song Qingping filled a large pot for Qiao An, so full that it couldn't be any fuller, and passed it to him: "Slow down, can you carry it? It's a bit heavy."

The soy sauce was finished so quickly, without any obstacles. It didn't seem very difficult, Qiao An thought silently in his heart, with a slight blush on his little face. He felt so great that he must take credit to his mother when he got back!

"Yes! I can!" He then hugged a large jar of soy sauce. When Song Qingping let go, he clearly felt the soy sauce bottle sink heavily in Qiao An's hand.

She held the soy sauce bottle in the air with both hands, and fortunately it just dropped and did not fall to the ground.

He turned around and ran away, coming and going in a hurry.

"Be careful, don't walk too fast on the road."

"Okay~"

The little guy walked farther and farther away, and Song Qingping looked worriedly in the direction he left. There are so many businessmen these days, why is Qiao Lu, as a mother, so careless?

As a result, I unexpectedly caught a glimpse of Qiao Lu's figure in the corner of the wall.

Song Qingping then patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief. That's what she said, how could a mother be so cruel as to let such a kid go out to fetch soy sauce.

…

Here, in Qingteng Lane, an uninvited guest arrived.

"Hey, what a rare guest. I haven't seen you for a long time." Ever since Li Hongjun told him that Xu Haizhou was married, he seemed to have disappeared from the world. Anyway, he hadn't seen him since before the New Year.

Shen Suqin smiled at him and held in her hand an exquisitely wrapped paper box with beautiful patterns printed on the surface.

"Let me give you some of this. I brought this from Shanghai when I went to my second uncle's house for the Spring Festival. It's pear syrup candy. It's delicious."

Pear paste candy is not like ordinary fruit candy or milk candy. It is made from pure white sugar and Chinese medicine juice. It tastes as sweet as honey, loose and crispy, and can also moisten the throat and clear the lungs.

"Shanghai?" Li Hongjun was surprised. It was a big city, but it was far away from Li'an. "Tell me quickly, is that place very big and prosperous?"

"If you are so interested, why don't you go to Shanghai to do business?" Shen Suqin looked at him with amusement.

"Well, I heard that business is easier in Li'an, so I came to Li'an because of policy encouragement. There's nothing we can do about it." Li Hongjun is also from the north, and he and Xu Haizhou are half-fellow villagers, but they are from the same province but different cities.

After saying that, he took the gift box with a smile and poked Xu Haizhou next to him with his elbow: "He doesn't need it, I can eat it myself."

As he opened the package, he couldn't wait to eat it.

Shen Suqin was furious: "Hey - what are you doing? I gave it to both of you, not just you. Don't be so selfish."

It was mainly for Xu Haizhou to eat, and was given to Li Hongjun only to appear less deliberate.

"It's okay." Li Hongjun unceremoniously peeled off the sugar coating and stuffed it into his mouth: "He doesn't like sweet things."

"Then he can take it home and feed his family. There's no reason for you to eat it all by yourself." She glared at him unhappily, and she didn't know whether the tip of her nose was frozen or turned red because of his anger.

"Okay." Seeing that Shen Suqin was about to get angry, Li Hongjun pushed the paper box towards Xu Haizhou without saying a word: "Then we can split it in half. You can take it back and give it to your wife and son."

"Okay." Xu Haizhou took it deliberately, observing Shen Suqin's reaction.

Sure enough, after hearing this, Shen Suqin's posture stiffened slightly, her lips trembled slightly twice, and she bit her lower lip.

"You really have a wife?" And a son too?

"I told you years ago that I wouldn't joke about such things." Xu Haizhou's face was calm. He glanced at her calmly and then looked away.

Shen Suqin smiled awkwardly and counted on her fingers: "Is this true or not..."

I still find it hard to believe it... It sounds unreliable.

She had known Xu Haizhou for many years, from working in a clothing factory four years ago, to setting up a stall later... She didn't know what kind of person he was. He had always been focused on his career. No matter how many people introduced him to potential partners, he didn't like any of them. Moreover, most female comrades didn't like his qualifications.

He said that he had no plans to date before the age of 30, so how did he suddenly become a figure? Who was the other person? He had no idea at all. God knows how shocked she was when she received the news. Li Hongjun told her, but she didn't believe it, and ran to the stall to ask Xu Haizhou in person.

After getting the answer, she disappeared, heartbroken that her secret love had ended before it even began... She finally mustered up the courage to look for him again, wishing it was just a joke...

At noon, Xu Haizhou closed his stall and went home to eat, and "accidentally" ran into Shen Suqin at the corner of the alley.

At that time, a few rays of sunlight came in from under the eaves, shining brightly on his profile, and his superior jawline was clearer than her life plan.

How could a young girl like her let go of such a handsome man?

"What a coincidence! Are you going home?" Shen Suqin smiled in a way that she thought was impeccable, while lifting her braided hair behind her shoulders.

Unexpectedly, Xu Haizhou just glanced at her calmly and kept walking forward: "It's quite a coincidence."

The wind was so strong today that one could not help wondering if it was a typhoon. Xu Haizhou did not ride his bike. There were a bunch of goods tied to the handlebars, so it would be shaky if he rode it. If he fell, he would lose everything, so he preferred not to ride.

"Your home is on Ziyuan Street, right? It's on my way. My home is in North Bay."

Shen Suqin followed him all the way and deliberately raised questions about his wife and son, such as where they met, when they got married, and why they got married suddenly... Is she still not giving up?

Just as they reached the corner of the alley at the big compound, Qiao An, who had just finished making soy sauce, saw Xu Haizhou. He saw him pushing a bicycle into the alley, accompanied by a young woman with a braided hair, who did not look like an ordinary person in her clothing.

She was talking to her father, and Joan saw that the sister was laughing the whole time.

But that’s not the point. The point is that he saw his father!

The little guy was very excited to see Xu Haizhou, and ran over with soy sauce in his arms: "Dad——"

He rushed over, but slowed down to avoid rushing into his arms, because he still had to protect his precious soy sauce bottle, which he had traveled thousands of miles to get!

"An'an? Why are you here? Where is your mother?" After parking his bicycle, Xu Haizhou couldn't wait to pick up his son.

Just when I was about to kiss his face and approached him, the soy sauce bottle in his arms blocked my way.

Xu Haizhou was a little confused: "What did you take, soy sauce? Or vinegar? Where's mom?"

I turned my head to the side and took a sip of the milk fragrance on the little guy's neck. There was also a faint smell of "wife", okay, actually it was the smell of Qiao Lu.

Qiaoan's face was chubby and cold to the touch, and it seemed that she had been outside for a long time.

The kid held the soy sauce bottle in front of him like a treasure: "Dad, Mom wasn't here, so she asked me to get soy sauce! I got it all by myself!"

Xu Haizhou and the female comrade were both surprised.

Xu Haizhou was surprised that his son actually ran out alone to get soy sauce, and the female student was surprised that Xu Haizhou actually had a son!

"He...he is your son?" he asked in disbelief, pointing at Qiao An with trembling hands.

That's not right, it's impossible. Even if they are married, they just got married not long ago. Then where did this little girl who looks about three or four years old come from?

"Um."

Shen Suqin had never seen Xu Haizhou smile so gently. He usually didn't like to smile, let alone smile so tenderly. Shen Suqin felt a flutter in her heart. How could this be possible? How could this be possible...

Afterwards, Xu Haizhou asked Shen Suqin in a murderous tone: "Is my son cute?"

Shen Suqin's heart choked, and after a long while she stammered, "You...you not only have a son, but your son can actually...make soy sauce!"

Xu Haizhou laughed and rubbed his head with one hand: "Yes, my son is awesome. He can even make soy sauce."

"Hehe~" Qiao An was a little embarrassed, smiled shyly, and then pointed at Shen Suqin: "Dad, who is she?"

Xu Haizhou glanced at the next door nonchalantly: "A customer."

Poof - killing someone twice.

While the three were talking, a woman came slowly in the breeze, wearing a simple white jacket and black suit pants. The jacket was not bulky, and it made her already slim figure look even slimmer. Who would not sigh when seeing her: Whose beautiful young wife is this?

"husband."

husband?

Xu Haizhou's little heart trembled secretly.

The three people's eyes turned to the source of the sound.

"You're home so early today? The meal isn't even ready yet." She casually lifted her hair, and her every move was full of charm.

The little guy turned around and shouted in surprise, "Mom!"

"mother?"

The moment he saw Qiao Lu, he murdered her three times!

"Mom, look at me! Look at me! I hit the soy sauce! I did it all by myself, dad didn't help me. I only saw dad after I finished fighting." As she spoke, she slid down from Xu Haizhou's arms.

Xu Haizhou bent down and put the person down, and Qiao An ran towards Qiao Lu holding a large jar of soy sauce.

"Slow down, little one! Be careful not to fall!" Qiao Lu was terrified, but fortunately the child stopped the car steadily in front of her.

"Mom! Do you believe me? I made the soy sauce myself! I made it myself." He emphasized again and again, fearing that Qiao Lu would not believe it.

Qiao Lu pinched his face in amusement and speechlessness. She had followed him all the way here, so how could she not believe it?

I took the soy sauce bottle, bent down and kissed his face, taking care of both sides of his face.

"Believe! I have always believed in An An. Our An An is not only brave but also honest. An An is a little man!"

The little guy was so happy that he almost flew to the sky!

He finally learned a new skill!

The child is adorable and the wife is beautiful. After seeing this scene with her own eyes, Shen Suqin was completely heartbroken.

I feel so sad... I heard that the flap gloves from the previous year were also designed by his wife. I thought it was a joke at first, but I never thought his wife was so outstanding.

In comparison, she seems so ordinary. Comparing yourself to others is really frustrating—

With her eyelashes lowered, Shen Suqin's voice no longer sounded as brisk as before, but rather dull.

Finally, he took a deep look at the family of three and took a deep breath: "Sorry for bothering you. Goodbye, Boss Xu!"

"Well, walk slowly."

The girl bit her lip and hurried away. When she reached the entrance of the alley, she turned her head in disbelief, and saw a family of three walking away hand in hand.

The dad is on the left and the mom is on the right. The adorable baby is held in the middle by the two adults, jumping around. Just the back view reveals a sense of happiness.

…She knew that she would never have another chance.

The author has something to say:
