Jiaojiao and Yangyang showed their differences when they were one month old. Jiaojiao lived up to her name. Even Qian Qing found it hard to understand why a baby would like to compete for favors to such an extent. The second child, Yangyang, was not like his brother. This child seemed to be born with a slow temper. He slept all day long. Qian Qing was almost certain that the reason why the two children were born a few days beyond the expected date was because of Yangyang.

When Qian Qing was feeding her second child Yang Yang, she would hum tenderly, as if to express her grievance. Her soft and gentle voice was heartwarming.

Qian Qing originally thought that the brat was feeling unwell, so she put Yang Yang down to look at Jiao Jiao. However, as soon as she picked him up, Jiao Jiao stopped whining. The little head was desperately pushing into Qian Qing's arms. Although it was not hungry, it just wanted to occupy Qian Qing's arms.

When Qian Qing put both of them down, he seemed to know that he could not hold himself, and his brother could not hold him either, so it was even, and he stopped making any sound, except when Zhou Hao appeared.

Qian Qing gave birth to two children. Normally, it was very difficult to breastfeed them. The two little brats were very good at eating, so now Qian Qing feeds half of them and the other half relies on formula. So Lu Yanmei and Qian's mother took on most of the chores, and Zhou Hao spent all his time with the two little kids after work.

In the first few days after the baby was born, Zhou Hao was fine because the baby was always drowsy and asleep. But when the baby grew up, Zhou Hao's treatment was not so good.

Every time Zhou Hao picked up Yang Yang, it was fine. The second child Yang Yang would usually just raise his eyelids to look around and see that it was Zhou Hao who was holding him. Yang Yang would sleep the whole time, which Zhou Hao was not happy about. It was one thing for him to dislike his son, but how could a son dislike his father?

Qian Qing watched Zhou Hao persevering in trying to wake Yangyang up. Yangyang did wake up, but the boy's contemptuous look made Zhou Hao wish it was 1990 now, when both children were five years old and old enough to be beaten.

Besides, Jiaojiao was simply a natural incompatible with Zhou Hao. When she saw Zhou Hao coming to hug her, she burst into tears. That kind of crying was different from the whimpering sound of vying for favors. Her loud voice could make Zhou Hao's ears ring.

Moreover, the brat was too much. Even in Qian Qing's arms, he would cry without even eating milk when Zhou Hao got close to him. He looked like he would not stop until Zhou Hao was driven out...

Qian Qing squeezed the two little enemies in her arms and thought, you can only bully your dad now. When you grow up, your dad will use his soles to hurt you.

The days of confinement were very easy. Although Qian Qing had to breastfeed every two or three hours, she had Qian's mother and Lu Yanmei to help during the day, and Zhou Hao to help at night. Qian Qing did not have to worry about anything else except breastfeeding and getting enough sleep. After the confinement period, Qian Qing's skin became better, and she did not look tired at all after giving birth.

Her confinement period was also longer than others. Qian's mother insisted that twins should be confined for two months. Two months! Qian Qing couldn't wait that long, so she finally compromised and stayed at home for forty days.

After the confinement period was over, Qian Qing took a good bath and announced that she was officially pregnant and ready to leave the hospital.

Of course, there are many things to deal with besides the cooperation with Lu Jiayi. The first one is that Qian Qing plans to start building a sanitary napkin factory.

Xu Ahua had been released to explore the market for such a long time that she had accumulated a lot of channels. Qian Qing planned to let her integrate the resources at hand and assigned her two English major students from the provincial university to start contacting foreign suppliers.

Qian Qing also understood that without the foreign exchange quota of state-owned factories, the cost of sanitary napkins might be much higher than that of state-owned factories. However, Lu Jiayi gave her a lot of thoughts in this regard. Lu Jiayi said that foreign exchange quotas would be abolished in a few years. If we are restricted by the cost problem brought by foreign exchange quotas, then this market will be lost sooner or later. It is better to seize the market now, and the cost problem can be solved sooner or later.

Qian Qing took stock of her capital. Qingyue's development had entered a relatively stable period since she became pregnant last year. Now, Qingyue's profits were very stable every quarter.

With Lu Jiayi around, Qian Qing didn't have much pressure on Qingyue to expand the factory and overseas brands. She hadn't spent the profits from last year to the present quarter, so she had enough liquidity to support her factory.

This time, Qian Qing opened a factory differently from the previous ones. In the past, she had to pick up existing factories and the technology content of the garment factory was not high. Now that she had changed to a sanitary napkin factory, Qian Qing had to start from scratch.

We need to introduce production lines, select a site to build a factory, look for qualifications, recruit workers, and finally find sales channels and do publicity...

Every single pile has to be done personally.

Qian Qing calculated the time and thought that she could only take care of the two brothers Jiaojiao and Yangyang for about a hundred days, after which she would need to go on business trips from time to time.

Zhou Hao had no objection to her plan. Since Zhou Hao had no objection, what else could the people around him say? In the final analysis, as long as Zhou Hao was happy, no one could say anything.

Zhou Hao washed Qian Qing's hair. Qian Qing's hair was black and shiny. The part that had been permed before was still curled, but the new part on top was straight. Qian Qing treasured her hair very much and was reluctant to cut it now.

Zhou Hao wiped her dry with a big towel, and Qian Qing relaxed and nestled in Zhou Hao's arms.

"Zhou Hao, if I go on a business trip, what will happen to Jiaojiao and Yangyang?"

Jiaojiao and Yangyang were so at odds with Zhou Hao, if she left, what would happen to the two children? Qian Qing also felt that she was indecisive. She had discussed so many solutions with Zhou Hao before, but in the end, she was still worried.

Zhou Hao smelled the fragrance coming from his wife's hair, and his heart was already distracted: "What's the big deal? Anyway, you can't feed two kids now, just give them milk powder. Didn't we agree on this? With Sister Lu and our mother here, I will find another woman to cook and clean."

Qian Qing was a little nervous: "No one in the factory will say anything about you..."

Zhou Hao didn't care at all: "What are they saying? It's just that I'm a gigolo. Let them say whatever they want. Who knows if they are jealous that I found a wife who can make money."

As Qian Qing's business grew, Zhou Hao's salary was no longer enough. Rumors arose in the compound that Zhou Hao was dependent on his wife and was a gigolo. Others might feel guilty about this, but Zhou Hao didn't feel that way at all.

Zhou Hao put his chin on his wife's shoulder: "To eat a gigolo, you need capital. Those who don't have capital can't even eat if they want! Those people are just jealous that I can eat a gigolo!"

As he said this, he put his hands inside people's clothes. It has been more than a year. First, my wife was pregnant, then she said it was twins, and now the children are one month old...

Zhou Hao felt so wronged. Considering that he hadn't eaten meat for more than a year, the rumors about him being a freeloader were nothing! Who could eat freeloaders for a year without eating any greasy food?

Qian Qing originally wanted to talk to Zhou Hao about the child, but was interrupted by Zhou Hao before she could talk in depth.

Zhou Hao's eyes were red. Qian Qing had become much plumper after giving birth, and was still losing weight. But his wife was fair and tender, and it was more comfortable to hold her.

…

After Qian Qing gave birth, many people in the compound came to give gifts. Usually, Qian's mother was in charge of receiving them. Except for those who had good relationships with her, the rest just sat down and chatted before sending them away. She didn't accept any gifts. Some people like to accept gifts when they become small leaders, but Zhou Hao never accepts any. These people couldn't give out gifts, so they asked Qian's mother when to hold a banquet.

Normally, a full-month banquet should be held for children, but Zhou Hao decided to wait until the hundredth day to allow Qian Qing to have a good rest.

As a result, before the wedding banquet even started, someone came to the oil field compound.

The other party found the family compound of the Second Oil Production Plant and kept saying that she was Zhou Hao's biological mother and came to Zhou Hao to take care of Qian Qing during her confinement.

Zhou Hao was promoted to the leader of the maintenance team at the end of last year. He has been evaluated as a junior engineer in the factory, and everyone at this time calls him Engineer Zhou.

When someone heard that she was Mr. Zhou's biological mother, someone immediately went to inform Zhou Hao and also sent the news to Nanyuan.

When Zhou Hao heard this, he put down the wrench in his hand, went to the family compound with a frosty face, and stopped the person who was going to Nanyuan.

"What are you doing here?"

The woman in front of him had eyes similar to Zhou Hao's, but her older face was a bit mean and shrewd. Her hair had turned a lot whiter, and she was wearing a patched dress and carrying a large bag on her back. She looked out of place with Zhou Hao.

Although the people around him didn't say anything, they couldn't help but wonder in their hearts what was wrong with Mr. Zhou. He was so disrespectful to his own mother that he allowed someone to come to the factory wearing patched clothes.

The woman shrank when she saw Zhou Hao, but then she said confidently, "Zhou Hao, I'm here to see you. I heard Xiaoqing gave birth to a baby, and I'm here to take care of her during her confinement."

Zhou Hao said expressionlessly: "You are too late. My wife has already left the confinement period."

The other party secretly cursed Zhou Hao in his heart for still having a bad temper after so many years, and being so tough even when his own mother came to visit.

"Then...then can I go home to see my grandson?"

These words could be said to be extremely humble, and the people around could not help but shudder. They felt that Zhou Hao was too heartless and would not even let his own mother go home when she came.

Zhou Hao's eyes were filled with coldness. He wanted her to come over? So that he could force Qian Qing to keep her? Or did he accept her as his master and come back to cause trouble later?

"No need." Zhou Hao said decisively, "Do you still remember what you said before? If not, do you want me to repeat it now?"

Zhou Hao felt bored, but he rarely felt bored after getting married. After all, his life was meaningless before. It was not until he got married and started a family that he felt that his life had some hope. Now that they had a child, he and Qian Qing were a real family. Their small family did not need anyone to destroy it.

The woman was choked by Zhou Hao's words and was unable to refute. Zhou Hao glanced around with a cold look. Some of the people who followed him also touched their noses and dispersed embarrassedly.

From what Zhou Hao said just now, they probably thought that there was something going on at home that they couldn't talk about. They wanted to hear it, but they knew Zhou Hao wouldn't tell them in front of them. In addition, Zhou Hao's eyes were too scary, which made them shudder for no reason.

After everyone had dispersed, Zhou Hao spoke to the person in front of him: "Why? What do you want this time?"

The words were full of sarcasm: "Is your eldest son causing trouble again, or are you trying to get some benefit from coming here again?"

Zhou Hao's biological mother, Wu Xiaojuan, forced a smile and said, "That's not what I meant. I just heard that you have a child, so I wanted to come and take care of the child for you..."

Zhou Hao unconsciously touched his pocket, then he realized that he had actually quit smoking a long time ago, and there was nothing in his pocket that could comfort him.

After hearing Wu Xiaojuan's sophistry, Zhou Hao was too lazy to argue with her and directly tore off her hypocritical face.

"Your words are ridiculous. Didn't you say it a few years ago? As long as I give you 500 yuan, the favor of raising me will be written off. I won't have to be filial to you in the future, and you will only rely on your eldest son to support you in your old age. It's written in black and white. Now you come to make trouble. Do you think what you said is just a fart?"

Wu Xiaojuan's face turned ugly: "Zhou Hao, I am your mother after all! Is that how you talk?"

Zhou Hao took off his work hat, his eyes filled with anger: "Isn't it a little late to play the role of a loving mother now? Have you forgotten what you did? Do you want me to help you recall it again?"

Zhou Hao looked at Wu Xiaojuan, and all the past events came to his mind.

When he was young, Wu Xiaojuan was quite nice to him. The three of them lived in Beishan Town. Zhou Hao's biological father was a middle school teacher in the town. Although the family did not live a wealthy life, they were happy enough.

But this happiness did not last long. Not long after, it was the ten years that followed. The school was the first place to be affected. Zhou Hao's biological father was forced to kneel on the coal slag and died.

Wu Xiaojuan, for the sake of self-protection, drew a clear line with Zhou Hao's biological father. She didn't want Zhou Hao either, so she simply gave Zhou Hao to a family, which was actually selling him. Zhou Hao was old enough to remember things at that time, and Wu Xiaojuan sold him for a few dozen yuan. The family that bought Zhou Hao had some old acquaintances with Zhou Hao's biological father, and they took Zhou Hao home for his sake.

Wu Xiaojuan took the money and remarried to her former neighbor, who was a widower with a son.

When Zhou Hao was fourteen years old, his adoptive parents were all gone. His relatives were afraid that Zhou Hao would steal the house and property, so they sent Zhou Hao back to Beishan Town.

Zhou Hao recalled the scene of that day. The person who sent him to Beishan Town was about to burst his mouth with complaints, but Wu Xiaojuan still blocked the door and refused to let him in. She kept saying that since the child had been sent out, there was no reason to return him.

Zhou Hao laughed at himself. Old Ding always complained that he was stubborn and asked why he went back to Beishan Town to be tortured by Wu Xiaojuan.

But he didn't understand that he had no right to make the decision in this matter.

Although his adoptive parents treated him well, he was not their biological son. The household registration procedures were not perfect in those days, and there was no place for him to stay once the two old people left.

At that time, Wu Xiaojuan was reluctant to take over Zhou Hao, but because the case of Zhou Hao's biological father happened to be overturned, Wu Xiaojuan had no choice but to take Zhou Hao in as she was afraid of being accused of not wanting a son.

Zhou Hao stared at Wu Xiaojuan, and the years he lived in Beishan Town were the most nightmare years of his life. Later, he even signed an IOU for Wu Xiaojuan to win himself a chance to graduate from junior high school.

Wu Xiaojuan felt guilty, but she was in urgent need of money, so she held on to Zhou Hao and said, "I was confused at that time, but Zhou Hao, why do we need to calculate so much as a family? I came here this time just to take care of the children for you."

The words sounded pitiful, but Zhou Hao remained unmoved.

Wu Xiaojuan must have come here for his eldest son.

"Your eldest son works in the farm machinery factory in the city, right?" Zhou Hao saw that the other party was determined to come, so he simply frowned and said, "I'll give you two choices. One is that you leave now and I'll pretend you've never been here. The other is that I'll go to your eldest son's workplace to hand in some materials. You may not know that your eldest son privately bought and sold farm machinery parts in the factory a few years ago."

Zhou Haoru saw Wu Xiaojuan's face change as he wished, and there was a hint of sarcasm in her tone: "At that time, I just wanted to protect myself. Now I can tell you clearly that if you come again, I will send the evidence. You don't want him to lose his job, right?"

Wu Xiaojuan gnashed her teeth in hatred. She still didn't understand why she gave birth to an ungrateful person like Zhou Hao. He was a devil when he was a child, and when he was taken away for a few years, he was even more of a wolf cub when he was sent back.

Wu Xiaojuan looked at his work clothes, her heart full of hatred. How could such a person be a leader in an oil production plant? Her eldest son was excellent in everything, so why couldn't he compare to this wolf cub?

Zhou Hao straightened his hat and said, "Go now. If I see you again, I will go to the farm machinery factory and beat your son up. I mean what I say."

Wu Xiaojuan followed behind him, gritting her teeth and saying, "Zhou Hao! Aren't you afraid that I will go find your leader?"

Zhou Hao sneered: "Then hurry up."

Not to mention that he is now the leader of the maintenance team, the factory will not fire him for this problem. Even if he is fired, he still has Qian Qing, what is he afraid of? He will just have to follow his wife in the future.

Wu Xiaojuan was helpless. She couldn't do anything to Zhou Hao and could only turn away in anger.

But Zhou Hao met Li Hongmei on his way back.

When Li Hongmei saw Zhou Hao, her eyes lit up and she rushed over and stuffed a document into his hands.

"Zhou Hao, I just happened to meet you. Didn't Qian Qing give birth? Our factory is asking for names to be registered. It said that we need to provide a list of women who will have IUDs inserted in the second half of the year. I have registered Qian Qing's name. Please tell her to remember to register her name and have the IUD inserted at the same time in the second half of the year."

Sheung Wan? Zhou Hao's thoughts about Wu Xiaojuan flew away instantly.

Zhou Hao thought of the torture Qian Yu had gone through because of the IUD, and he couldn't help feeling uneasy.

"Director Li..."

"I want to ask, males can get sterilized under family planning, right? If I get sterilized, does that mean Qian Qing doesn't need to wear an IUD?"
