When I visited Qin Xiaohua's home the next day, her parents were still at home taking care of the child.
The couple are both very busy and haven't finished get off work yet.
Jiang Tong took her three children with her.
Seeing how adorable Zhou Jiaqi is, the two elderly people's hearts melted.
"Wow, whose child is this? He's so handsome, so good-looking!"
"How old are you, baby?"
The two elderly people were very kind, and their voices were exceptionally loving. Zhou Jiaqi took a liking to them almost at first sight, obediently calling them grandpa and grandma, and then replying, "My name is Zhou Jiaqi, and I'll be four years old soon!"
The two elders were overjoyed.
Hanhan and Peipei also call people "Grandpa" and "Grandma," and they are very sweet-talking.
The two elderly people hugged their children and laughed happily.
Upon noticing Jiang Tong carrying a large number of bags, he immediately said, "Oh dear, it's good that you're here. Why did you buy all this? We don't need it."
The two elders quickly declined, telling Jiang Tong to take everything back to the car and keep it for themselves.
Jiang Tong dodged the two elders' hands and brought in the items one by one. She smiled and said, "It's nothing else, please don't refuse, it's really not expensive."
She bought a carton of cherries, two bottles of good wine, some nourishing herbs, toys and new clothes for the children, skincare products and a bag for Qin Xiaohua. Her husband is a surgeon and his back is not good from standing all the time, so Jiang Tong bought him a therapeutic device. The two families have a very good relationship and don't feel like strangers at all.
Neither of the two elders could say anything.
They told her directly that even if she had money, she shouldn't spend it like that, and they were very worried, afraid that she wouldn't have enough money to live on.
Jiang Tong laughed and said, "Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. You two don't need to worry."
She made a small fortune at the end of the year.
The two elders were also happy for her.
Mr. Qin kept urging the children to have snacks. They always had snacks at home, and with the end of the year approaching and many guests coming, they were sure to have plenty of food.
Qin's mother went to the kitchen to prepare some dinner for them.
After putting her things down, Jiang Tong went to help Qin's mother and let the children chat with Qin's father.
When Qin's mother saw that she had also come to join in the fun, she wanted to shoo her away, saying, "What are you doing here? Go and rest."
Jiang Tong put on the apron and said with a smile, "I'll help you out, please don't mind!"
Seeing that she couldn't refuse, Qin's mother patted Jiang Tong's arm and laughed, somewhat annoyed, "Wouldn't it be better to rest more? You just can't stand being idle, can you?"
Jiang Tong laughed and said, "That's right."
The two chatted side by side, and Qin's mother asked her how she was doing lately with concern. Only after learning that she was doing well did the old lady feel relieved.
As they talked...
When the conversation turned to Zhou Jiaqi, Qin's mother initially thought the child was either Jiang Tong's colleague's or a relative's child. However, upon hearing that he was her new boyfriend's child, she immediately frowned and asked with concern, "Isn't he also a single father? Can you two really make it work?"
Jiang Tong focused on peeling the potatoes, saying, "What's wrong with that? I also have Hanhan and Peipei with me."
Qin's mother sighed, "That's not what I meant. I'm happy for you that you can find someone else, but you both have children. Won't the children fight? I'm worried that if the children have a disagreement, you adults will also feel bad."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Tong comforted him, "It's alright. Jiaqi, Hanhan, and Peipei have a good relationship. The three of them have their own way of getting along, and sometimes even we adults can't get involved. Actually, it's really good, so don't worry."
She also praised Zhou Jiaqi as a good kid, and indeed he is a good kid.
Although she is spoiled, she is also very sensible.
He only teases his father occasionally to get his attention.
Actually, they're very easy to coax.
Jiang Tong also felt sorry for this child, otherwise she wouldn't have been so soft-hearted towards him at the beginning.
She picked out a few things to tell Qin's mother, and the old lady felt particularly sorry for the child. She sighed and said, "That's really pitiful. He's so young and doesn't have a mother. He must be very sad. His father is also good. He's so busy with his career, but he still takes care of him."
Jiang Tong nodded, "That's right. In the beginning, Yuan Sheng trained them all himself, which is quite remarkable. Even though he didn't do everything perfectly, he did his best."
Zhou Yuansheng is also very good to his children. He may seem like a strict father, but he is actually a loving father.
Jiang Tong sometimes thinks he's quite cute.
He's so clingy and loves to act spoiled in private, but he's quite good at putting on an act in front of the kids.
When Qin's mother saw Jiang Tong suddenly smile sweetly, she paused for a second, then smiled gently as well. "Oh, seeing your smile, Auntie also thinks your boyfriend is a good person. As long as you feel happy, that's all that matters."
The old man had watched Jiang Tong grow up. Her parents were old-fashioned and stubborn, and always had high expectations of her. Jiang Tong suffered a lot of grievances when she was young.
The two elderly people also feel sorry for Jiang Tong. This year, with her divorce, they are even more heartbroken. They just hope that she can be alright.
Jiang Tong was quite touched. Her friend's parents had helped her a lot, and she had bothered them quite a bit in the past. The two elders were very important to her.
Sometimes she even felt that her own parents didn't care about her as much as they did.
Qin Xiaohua didn't get off work until after 8 p.m. She looked exhausted, her complexion was terrible, and she had a resentful look on her face. She was indeed a miserable working person.
However, when she opened her own door and found that it was little Peipei who opened it for her, she still smiled and reached out to flick Peipei's forehead, "You little rascal, you're here? You didn't bully your sister and brother today, did you?"
Peipei pouted and called her godmother. In the past, besides being afraid of her biological mother Jiang Tong, she was also afraid of this godmother because she was really incredibly fierce!
"I didn't bully my sister! And my little brother has been taking a nap all afternoon, and I didn't disturb him! He just woke up not long ago, godmother, please go and check on him."
