"Lian'er, what's wrong with you?" Qiao Yunni asked, somewhat surprised.
"Mom, I just bought some new candy, have a taste." Qiao Lian'er took out a candy, peeled off the wrapper, and put it into Qiao Yunni's mouth.
Qiao Yunni was both amused and exasperated: "Mom isn't a child anymore."
But I felt a sweet feeling inside.
"Mother, you go and keep watch over the warehouse in the backyard. I'll take care of things in the front."
This shop has two floors and a large courtyard in the back, which is used for storing things.
"Okay." Qiao Yunni, with a candy in her mouth, which tasted sweet with a hint of sourness and a pleasant bitterness, went to the back with a happy expression.
Qiao Lian'er kept an eye on the outside.
Wei Chi arrived quickly, and Qiao Lian'er smiled and waved to him.
"May you rest in peace, Brother Wei."
Wei Chi nodded to her, a slight smile appearing on his face, making him look a bit brighter.
He seemed to glance into the shop, and Qiao Lian'er's heart tightened.
However, he ultimately made no comment and rode off.
Qiao Lian'er breathed a sigh of relief.
However, in Wei Chi's heart, she was already his savior. They would inevitably have contact in the future, and Wei Chi would surely discover that Qiao Yunni looked exactly like the person in the portrait.
If it's a good thing, then of course it's great; if it's a bad thing, then it's better to disown this family.
She knew her parents had been searching for their daughter for many years and were suffering greatly, but as Qiao Yunni's daughter, she had to avoid any bad situations to prevent endless trouble.
The past ten years have been too hard for my mother. Now, my mother's face is always full of smiles. She doesn't want her mother's life to suffer any more hardships.
Of course, all of this is based on the premise that Qiao Yunni has a connection with that family.
As soon as she got home, Mrs. Feng happily announced to everyone that Lingyin was pregnant with twins.
Everyone's eyes lit up, and Da Yong was so happy he almost fainted.
"That's wonderful, two of them right away! Oh, our Qiao family is so lucky." Old Mrs. Qiao went into the kitchen and said to Mrs. Wan, who was cooking, "Add a few more dishes that are suitable for Yin'er to eat."
"Alright, let's get started." Wan and Qiao Lao Er, who had just returned from the camp, busied themselves with the task.
"When I have free time at home, I make clothes for the children, both boys and girls," said Mrs. Lü. "It just so happens that we have more fabric than we need."
Grandma Qiao said happily, "This old woman's eyesight is failing, but I can still make a few outfits and show you my best craftsmanship."
The Qiao family was filled with a festive atmosphere.
"Oh, and don't tell anyone for the next three months," the old man instructed everyone.
The Qiao family kept this in mind.
Although it was the dead of winter, Lingyin felt warm all over, as if she were surrounded by a fireplace.
As soon as they finished eating, Dayong couldn't wait to pull Lingyin into the room and have a private talk with her.
The Qiao family was large, and it was the dead of winter, so everyone liked to take a bath at night. Two large pots of hot water were boiling in the kitchen, and Qiao Yunni carried them to her room bucket by bucket.
Each room has a bathtub, making bathing very convenient.
Qiao Lian'er also helped carry cold water in and poured it into the bathtub.
Seeing her daughter so diligent tonight, Qiao Yunni said, "Lian'er, Mother can do it herself."
"Mom, I'll scrub your back, and you scrub mine too. It's never quite clean if I scrub it myself."
Qiao Yunni glanced at her, wondering why her daughter had suddenly asked for a back rub tonight. Perhaps it was because her cousin-in-law was pregnant and she was in a good mood.
She readily agreed.
