I have to say that the method of shifting attention is still very useful.

After traveling and climbing Mount Tai, Qiao Lu's nightmares that had troubled her a few days ago no longer invaded her dreams, and her mind seemed to open up.

After returning home, Qiao Lu made some inquiries and learned that the three children still could not be found. She became a little depressed for a moment, but fortunately the cute Qiao An came to heal her.

"Mom, let me cook. I'm really good at cooking now. Mom, do you think I'm a good cook?"

The little guy rolled up his sleeves, put one hand into the rice jar to scoop rice, and with the other hand held the rice cooker horizontally between his belly and the rice jar. He looked very confident and his movements were agile, like a little adult.

Qiao Lu laughed and couldn't help but take two sips of his fair skin. "Yes, An An is a good cook, even better than mom. An An is awesome! Now she has even learned to help me with housework. That's great."

How lucky we are that the rice cooker at home can still be "favored" by the little owner. Some time ago, Qiao Lu felt sad whenever she saw this rice cooker.

Life seems to have returned to the way it was, yet it seems like it can never go back to the way it was.

There is always a string tugging at Qiao Lu's heart.

But no matter what, she has found her child, so she needs to cheer up in the days ahead!

Early in the morning, it was early winter again, a thin mist rose. A north wind blew, and a few drops of rain fell.

"Qiao Lu, this was given to Jiang He by a friend at the toy factory. He took two. My son Zhiwei is too young to play with it, so it would be a waste if I gave it to him. So, let's give it to An An to play with."

Qiao Yan suddenly brought the cute little Zhiwei to visit. He was a chubby baby, so soft that my heart melted when I hugged him.

"Wow - what is it for An An to play with? Second Aunt, let me see!" The young man came running over upon hearing the voice, standing on tiptoe, and the two women moved aside to make way for him.

"It's a car! Such a small car."

Although Qiao Lu and her husband were rich, they rarely bought toys for their children.

Qiaoan's favorite toy was the three-color ball, but he often read books, so the "toys" he was often given were storybooks. His favorite was Chinese folk myths.

"Do you like it?" Qiao Yan asked temptingly, shaking the toy car.

"Is it for me?" Qiao An widened his eyes and confirmed it.

"yes."

"Don't you want your little brother Zhiwei?" Qiaoan pointed at the little brother in his mother's arms.

Qiao Yan glanced at her son who was playing with his aunt's hair and said with a smile: "My brother is too young to understand how to play."

"Then I can teach him," said Qiao An.

"Okay, go and teach him." Qiao Yan took her son and stuffed the little guy into Qiao An's arms.

"An An, be careful." Qiao Lu warned, with her empty hands under the little baby's body.

"Mom, I'm very careful." She hugged her brother and sat on the bed. It should be safe here, right?

"Second sister, you guys chat first. I'll go cook. Let's stay home and eat today." Xu Haizhou, who seemed to have no presence, suddenly said.

Qiao Yan thought for a moment and said, "That's fine. Stay for a meal and stay with my good nephew for a while."

Xu Haizhou curved his lips and smiled, then put on an apron skillfully and went into the kitchen to cook.

"Why didn't Haizhou go to the store today?" Qiao Yan asked, looking away.

"We are on vacation recently, so we put aside the idea of ​​making money. We just came back from climbing Mount Tai the day before yesterday."

Qiao Yan nodded with satisfaction: "That's great, it's time for the two of you to relax."

Over there, little baby Zhiwei couldn't keep his hands and feet idle. He pressed his brother to get close to him, babbling incomprehensible words, and sometimes, if he wasn't paying attention, he would even drool.

Qiao An's neck was tickled by Zhiwei's nuzzling, and she laughed for a while: "Mom, I found that my little brother seems to have grown bigger again."

I didn’t seem to have that much strength to hold him before, but now it’s hard to even push him away!

"Yes, but not as big as yours." Qiao Lu said with a smile.

Qiaoan said: "My brother can't be older than me. He is four years younger than me."

Jolu: "Yes, when you are in your twenties, you will look the same age."

"That's a long, long time away," said Joan.

"Yes, for a very long time." Qiao Yan smiled and stroked her nephew's head: "I hope you can all be safe and sound for a long time to come."

"Aunt, can my brother walk now?" Qiao An asked again.

Qiao Yan smiled and said, "If you hold his hand, he should be able to walk a few steps."

Qiao An tried to lead his brother to walk on the bed, but the child's bones were too soft, and he collapsed after staggering a few steps and couldn't get up, which made the three of them laugh.

"Brother, you smell so good." After helping his brother up, Qiao An kissed him madly, sucked him, and put his cheek against his.

The atmosphere was unusually warm and relaxing, and Qiao Lu really wished time would stop at this beautiful scene before her eyes.

"Oh, sis, this is the new autumn outfit I made. I was just thinking about when to bring it to you. You came at the right time."

Qiao Lu handed over the new clothes that she had prepared long ago.

"With you here, I don't have to buy clothes anymore." Qiao Yan happily fiddled with her clothes, and suddenly thought of a question, "When are you and Haizhou going to have another child?"

Qiao Lu was caught off guard by the question and was stunned: "Why are you asking this again?"

I've asked her several times before, and she always said it depends on fate. If the fate hasn't come yet, there's nothing she can do about it. She didn't use contraception on purpose in the first place.

Qiao Yan sighed: "Don't even mention whether you are anxious or not. Even I, an outsider, am anxious."

"Well, if you were an outsider, you wouldn't be so anxious." Qiao Lu also smiled.

Qiao poked her head unhappily: "You still have the mind to make a joke."

"You know how Haizhou has been doing recently, and everyone has seen it. Look at him, how much weight he has lost? In more than 20 days, he has been under tremendous pressure and has to take care of you, find the child, and help other parents... Look, he was a strong guy before, but now he has lost at least 10 pounds!"

Glancing at the busy figures in the kitchen, Qiao Lu felt uncomfortable.

She bit her lip and said, "I know, I know, that's why I've been buying meat for him to nourish his body recently."

"What I mean is, now that things have come to this, you should 'reward' him with a child, right?" Qiao Yan laughed.

"Look at what you said, what rewards or no rewards, as if giving birth to a child is so easy, you can just give birth whenever you want?" Qiao Lu said helplessly: "It depends on fate, it depends on fate, at most I will..."

He wanted to stop talking halfway, but under Qiao Yan's questioning gaze, he stammered:

"At worst, we can just work harder recently... cough——" Qiao Lu blushed: "Well, I know it anyway, let's not talk about it, let's change the subject."

Qiao Yan: "The point is not to reward him, the most important thing is, what if An An encounters an accident again... I'm afraid that you will be like Li Fanfan, the mother who hanged herself before. Having a child will at least give you more thoughts and ties..."

Qiao Lu interrupted her: "Sister, do you know all this?"

"Such a serious matter would have spread long ago." Qiao Yan glanced at her and said, "I am just one street away from you, not a city."

"Okay, okay, but don't worry, sister, I will never commit suicide." Suicide not only kills yourself, but also hurts everyone who loves you.

She would never do that, never, it would be too selfish.

Not only will she not commit suicide, but she will live well. Only by staying alive can she have the chance to see An An again.

Besides, Haizhou loved her so much, how could she bear to abandon him.

"Don't worry, sister. The good days for Haizhou and I are still to come."

…

After dinner in the evening, we sent Joan to the yard to play with the new toys with the other children.

Qiao Lu made a new set of clothes for Xu Haizhou and helped him try it on herself.

"How is it? Does it fit you well?"

The first time I was served by my wife, I felt so strange.

Xu Haizhou was not used to it, so he quickly buttoned up his coat and took off his trousers: "I can do it myself."

"Why are you shy?" Qiao Lu laughed at him and didn't insist on letting him wear it.

"You have it tailored to your measurements. You don't even have to wear it to know it fits you well."

Xu Haizhou praised, fiddling with his cuffs, collar, and putting on his trousers… He was admiring the mirror with fascination when a hand suddenly reached out from behind and grabbed his waist.

"Haizhou, you haven't done that for a long time. How about we do it now..." The slightly cool fingers slowly slid towards his belly button, his most sensitive spot.

Since the child went missing, the couple has suspended their married life.

She was in a bad mood when the child was lost, and Qiao Lu's mood did not recover after the child was found. She was sticky with her son all day long and had no time to pay attention to him.

At night, when they finally had some space for the two of them, Qiao An had to sleep between his parents, which was really inconvenient.

"Now?" Xu Haizhou pulled her hand down and looked towards the window in surprise. Fortunately, the curtains were drawn.

Then he quickly moved Qiao Lu's hands around him to his neck, bent slightly, put his head close to her face, and asked hesitantly: "Can you... do it now?"

I remember that her period seemed to be during these few days, and she never took the initiative during the day. It was rare for her to have sexual intercourse in the daytime.

"I'm very interested now, come on?" Qiao Lu misunderstood and thought he was asking her if she had recovered emotionally.

Although I sometimes have nightmares about An An missing at night, my overall emotional recovery is relatively stable.

She hadn't thought about it before, but now she does. It might also be that Qiao Yan's instructions worked, and Qiao Lu really wanted a child for her and Xu Haizhou now.

She looked at him with interest, her pupils reflecting his handsome face.

How could Xu Haizhou resist? He rubbed her cheeks lightly with his fingertips and kissed her red lips.

"Come!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his two hearts started beating violently at the same time, and he picked the person up.

Because they hadn't eaten for a long time, the first steps were a bit long. First, they kissed, then... Just as they were about to get down to business, Qiao Lu shuddered and pushed him away, taking a deep breath: "Door, door locked?"

Xu Haizhou also forgot that the door was not locked. He struggled to lift the quilt and stood up to check, and found that it was indeed not locked.

The lock snapped shut, and now I could open it with confidence...

Hiss—it’s been so long since I last had a meal.

This taste——

When it was getting thicker, Qiao Lu couldn't stop moaning.

"Haizhou..."

The trembling voice is so soul-stirring.

"I want to give you a child..."

As her hoarse voice came to an end, the sound of waves hitting the rocks became louder and louder, more and more exciting...

He didn't respond, just kept calling his name.

"Qiaolu, Qiaolu...my wife..."

…

On the first day the couple returned to the workplace, they held a special sale, offering a buy-one-get-one-free limited-time promotion on selected items.

The event is limited to four days. Why is there this special offer? Because it is to celebrate the boss’s child being found!

Many old customers wondered why they hadn’t seen the boss and his wife for a long time. After asking around, they found out that their child was lost and they were busy looking for him during this period!

After further inquiries, it turns out that Xu Haizhou was the one who assisted the public security comrades in destroying the largest and most rampant human trafficker gang in Li'an some time ago!

Immediately, everyone expressed admiration for Xu Haizhou.

Xu Haizhou saved twelve families! No, two more children were found later, so he saved fourteen families!

I heard that he even divided the thousand yuan equally among other parents who didn't find their children. Not everyone has such courage.

With the short-term fame effect and the special limited-time promotion, Purple Dragonfly’s business is booming!

The merchandise in the store is divided into two waves. One wave is the merchandise sourced from the Special Administrative Region. It is cheap and has a wide variety of items, and is used as the merchandise for this special offer.

The other wave is the styles designed by Jolu. They are expensive and are not included in the event, but you can still benefit from it. If you buy them within the last four days, you can get a three-dollar discount on each piece of clothing.

There were three Xu Haizhous, plus two additional sales clerks hired, a total of five people were unable to handle the job.

Next door, Yu Fan also came to join in the fun and hung a sign that read: "To celebrate Mr. Xu of Purple Dragonfly finding his son, our store is having a buy one get one free limited time promotion today! Buy a gift box, get a retail box for free! Limited quantity, while stocks last!"

This time, the store borrowed Xu Haizhou's fame and traffic, and the customer flow in the store seems to be no less than that of the next door.

Looking at Xu Haizhou's side, most of the buy-one-get-one-free items were sold out quickly, but what was even faster was the speed at which Li Hongjun replenished the stock!

"You guys keep an eye on the store, I'll go get some goods."

After saying this, he got on his bike and left in a hurry, and came back in less than 20 minutes.

When I left, I was riding a bicycle, and when I came back, a tricycle was following me.

The couple did not even have time to ask questions until new goods were in stock and they sold out until they were sold out. They then sold the remaining half of the goods slowly and still made some money.

"Where are you from?" I asked him only when I had some free time.

After not coming for a month, Xu Haizhou and his wife seemed to have missed a lot of things. Li Hongjun explained with a smile:

"I have to thank Yu Fan. Her friend has connections and introduced me to a garment factory, which is state-owned." Glancing at the woman who was passionately selling goods, Li Hongjun felt very good: "Hey, that friend is not ordinary, she seems to be from Hong Kong. Although I have never met her, I think she must be a big shot, at least a well-known figure."

Port city?

These two words reminded Qiao Lu of the set of foreign brand skin care products at home, which were also purchased for her from Hong Kong by Yu Fan. Could it be the same person?

Regardless of whether it is the same person or not, it is good news that we can get the goods in this city now and no longer have to go to the Special Administrative Region to purchase goods.

"You didn't see it. When I went to get the goods that day, the factory director actually received me in person! What a style... When we first opened the store two years ago, didn't we go to many factories? Not to mention the managers, even the security guards ignored us. As a result, now, the factory director personally greeted me. Do you think he is a big shot?"

Xu Haizhou: "So strong?"

Qiao Lu: “What’s the story?”

The author has something to say:

One more update, the baby is coming! Finally coming!
