"If I gave birth now, do you think the child would be yours?" Xu Qingning heard a hint of nervousness in his voice and laughed, "Fetal movement is a normal thing, why are you making such a fuss?"
"I didn't know the baby would move inside the womb..." Zhao Jingyu heard her laughter and realized he was ignorant. He asked her curiously, "Does it move very frequently?"
“He moves more frequently in the morning and evening, and he also moves a few times during the day. He also needs to be turned over.” Xu Qingning glanced at Wang Yaqiang and Yang Yuelan, who were talking at the door, and continued, “I bought a few fairy tale books and read a passage to him every night.”
"He can still hear?" Zhao Jingyu was even more surprised and asked excitedly, "Can he hear me now?"
“I can hear you.” Xu Qingning had never shared these things with anyone before, and she was satisfied with his reaction. “What do you want to say?”
“I want to tell him to behave and not cause you too much trouble.” Zhao Jingyu’s voice suddenly became more serious, but still carried an urgency. “When I get back, I will read him fairy tales and tell him that I am his father.”
He wished he could fly back right now.
Being with my wife and children is more important than anything else.
“Okay, we’ll wait for you to come back.” Xu Qingning smiled and told him about Zhao Futang coming to pick up the two boys. “Dad also gave me ten yuan, saying it was for me to buy something nice to eat, so I accepted it.”
"Take it, it's yours." Zhao Jingyu was still immersed in the joy that the baby could move and he could hear him speak, and his tone was particularly gentle. "Buy whatever you want to eat, don't be stingy with money."
"I know." Xu Qingning was touched. "I will take good care of myself. You should also be careful and come back soon."
Compared to caring words like "drink more hot water," the phrase "buy whatever you want to eat" is much more touching.
Men who are willing to spend money on women are the most attractive!
"Don't worry, as soon as I get back to China, I'll definitely rush back." Zhao Jingyu was already feeling like every day was an eternity. "By the way, I heard from Yaqiang that Wu Yong and Luo Yao came to our house for dinner?"
"Yes," Xu Qingning agreed, then began praising Luo Yao, "Your niece is beautiful and quiet, I like her very much. I even asked someone to find her a job, and I'm thinking of arranging for her to be a teacher at a school. What do you think?"
"Who has the ability to get her into the school?" Zhao Jingyu laughed. "Tell me about it?"
"It was Director Gao's wife, Teacher Du, who promised to help ask," Xu Qingning told him truthfully. "What? You don't believe me?"
"It's not that I don't believe you, but I want to know what I missed while I was away from home?" Zhao Jingyu was surprised. "When did you become so familiar with Teacher Du?"
“I designed a cheongsam for Teacher Du and Manager Fang, and they were very satisfied, so we became acquainted,” Xu Qingning told him. “They are both very nice and have no airs of superiors.”
"Wife, you're so capable." Zhao Jingyu knew she knew about clothing, but he thought she only knew a little. He didn't expect her to be so skilled. Without thinking, he said, "Then I won't go to sea this time. I'll stay home and take care of the kids. You can support me!"
"..." Xu Qingning knew he was the type who was best at taking advantage of others, so she coughed lightly and said, "Fine, since you like being a kept man, come back and I'll take care of you!"
"I just love being a kept man," Zhao Jingyu replied confidently. "I want everyone to know I have a capable wife, to make them envious and jealous of me!"
Seeing that he no longer mentioned Luo Yao or cared about whether she could find a job, Xu Qingning felt a little pleased and couldn't help but ask him, "I heard that you and Luo Yao were childhood sweethearts and grew up together?"
"We grew up together, but we weren't childhood sweethearts." Zhao Jingyu paused, as if thinking, and then continued, "She used to call me 'uncle,' but she stopped after she started school. Am I her elder?"
"In your eyes, she's just a junior?" Xu Qingning couldn't help but chuckle. So blunt?
“Yes!” Zhao Jingyu said dismissively, “I promised her I would come back to see her when I left, and I even wrote her a letter telling her to study hard.”
"I understand." Xu Qingning knew what was going on. She glanced at her watch. "We've been chatting for quite a while now, we should head back."
As long as he doesn't have any emotional debts in the Northwest, he can get along.
Everyone has a past.
"Go back and get some rest." Zhao Jingyu always waited for her to hang up before putting down the phone, and this time was no exception.
It was still early, so Xu Qingning suggested to Yang Yuelan that they go to the department store to browse around and buy some raw white fabric.
The main problem is that in another month, the saplings outside the wall will turn yellow and can no longer be dyed. If we want to dye them again, we'll have to wait until next year.
As a fashion designer, she likes to stock up on fabric at home, the more the better, if conditions allow.
“We used the fabric we bought last time to make clothes for the two boys. Let’s buy more this time. We won’t use it all or it will break.” Yang Yuelan readily agreed. “Let’s go home first, get our bicycles, and buy more.”
She has already learned how to dye fabric from Xu Qingning.
Dye your own cloth to save money and cloth coupons.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went home, got their bicycles, and went to the department store. As soon as they entered the first floor, Yang Yuelan whispered to Xu Qingning, "Look at that girl standing at the bottom of the stairs, isn't that Luo Yao?"
Xu Qingning turned her head slightly.
It was Luo Yao. She was standing in the department store area picking out hair accessories and the girl standing next to her was none other than Chen Meili, Tang Wenya's good friend.
The day before the two boys left, Yang Yuelan and Xu Qingning took them to the bookstore to return books, where she met Chen Meili.
Yang Yuelan also remembered Chen Meili: "Isn't that girl next to Luo Yao working at the staff bookstore?"
"Yes, it's her." Xu Qingning couldn't understand why the two of them were together. Was it a coincidence? Or did Tang Wenya deliberately bring them together?
"How could Luo Yao know her?" Yang Yuelan was also puzzled.
"Luo Yao, you're here!" Xu Qingning greeted her with a smile. "We were just saying we were going to the guesthouse to find you, and we just happened to run into you."
"Aunties...it's you." Luo Yao blushed a little when she saw them. "I...I came out for a stroll."
She didn't know how to address Xu Qingning.
I can't bring myself to call her "aunt," and I can't even say her name correctly...
“You’re new here and don’t know anyone, so we’re worried about your safety and have been wanting to visit you for a while,” Xu Qingning said earnestly, without looking at Chen Meili. “Come to my house for dinner tonight; I have something to tell you.”
Chen Meili looked Xu Qingning up and down, feeling inexplicably angry.
No wonder Tang Wenya disliked her; she was indeed very arrogant and wouldn't even look at her.
"Let's go another day!" Luo Yao said, picking at her nails like a child who had done something wrong. "I have things to do today."
"Okay, then come to our house tomorrow morning." Xu Qingning smiled like an aunt. "We'll be waiting for you at home."
Second update.
