After telling her parents where the gold had gone, Shen Qiaoyue saw the children downstairs, as well as the uncles and elders.
Shen Qiaoyue also went downstairs to play with everyone.
In the afternoon, the family made dumplings together.
Qian Luoshui was in a low mood, so Shen Qiaoyue went to buy her a small popsicle.
On a hot day, eating a popsicle can make everything better.
Chu Wanfang doesn't need to do any work; her grandson is about to be born, so she'll just make clothes for the baby.
She hadn't made clothes for quite some time and had almost forgotten how to fix loose threads.
We started having dinner around 4 p.m. The whole family sat together, drank some wine, and chatted happily.
Qian Luoshui was in a bad mood and couldn't eat much.
Shen Qiaoyu made a bowl of mixed noodles, and the chili sauce was freshly made in the afternoon.
Qian Luoshui smelled the aroma and her appetite was whetted. She ate a whole bowl of mixed noodles and a lot of pork ribs.
After dinner, Shen Qiaoyue took Qian Luoshui downstairs for a leisurely walk to digest and relax.
Before going downstairs, I drank a bowl of plum juice, which helped with digestion quickly.
"Honey, are you feeling any better? Don't worry about what others say. If things really get tough, I only want you. Don't worry." Shen Qiaoyu supported Qian Luoshui and comforted her.
Shen Qiaoyue couldn't help but retort, "Can't you speak more auspiciously? My sister-in-law is finally feeling a little happy, and you have to say such unpleasant things."
Shen Qiaoyu scratched his head; he was also extremely anxious.
Qian Luoshui slapped Chen Qiaoyu and said, "That's right, what nonsense are you talking about? This is your child. Even though the child is in your belly, it can hear you."
"I was afraid you'd overthink it. I care about you and worry about you." Shen Qiaoyu only had his wife and this child in his heart. They were originally just a bargaining chip to get Qian Luoshui to marry him.
If Qian Luoshui had been willing to marry him before having children, she wouldn't have done such a thing.
"With you by my side, I'm not afraid of anything." Qian Luoshui's words to Shen Qiaoyu made Shen Qiaoyue's worries unnecessary.
Seeing the two of them so loving and affectionate, Shen Qiaoyue suddenly didn't want to go upstairs for a walk anymore.
Let's go upstairs and talk to Dad.
"Why did you go back again?" Shen Qiaoyu asked worriedly.
"I'm superfluous, what can I do if I don't go back!" Shen Qiaoyue retorted directly.
Watching her younger sister's retreating figure, Shen Qiaoyu didn't say anything more.
"Never mind her, let's walk a little further and go back later." Shen Qiaoyu carefully helped Qian Luoshui up. "Wife, have you thought of a nickname for the baby?"
"The baby hasn't been born yet, so we don't even know what nickname to give him or what his gender will be," Qian Luoshui said helplessly.
"How could it be? It's definitely a daughter, it must be a daughter," Shen Qiaoyu said firmly. "How about we name our daughter Xiao Yuanyuan?"
"Okay, I'll do whatever you say." Qian Luoshui was completely obedient to Shen Qiaoyu's words.
Shen Qiaoyue walked home and saw her father chatting happily with her future brother-in-law.
Lu Chen just came out of the kitchen. The two of them had agreed to go to the department store when they had time.
"Mom and Dad, Lu Chen and I are going back later. We have to go to work tomorrow. We're going to the department store to buy some things and also to bring back some baby formula for my sister-in-law in the family compound." Shen Qiaoyue said to her family, meaning she was saying goodbye and going back.
"Shall Dad see you off?" Shen Yuanfan stood up to see them off.
Lu Chen said, "Dad, no need. The car is waiting for us downstairs. You can stay here and take care of Mom."
"Xiao Lu, please take good care of Qiaoyue," Chu Wanfang instructed.
Lu Chen nodded and replied, "Mom, don't worry, I will take good care of Qiaoyue."
Shen Qiaoying and He Ping saw them off and went shopping together at a nearby department store.
He Ping and Shen Qiaoying discussed it and bought some wedding candies and cakes for Lu Chen to take back to his comrades in the army.
Although the two are not married yet, these wedding candies are for them in advance, after all, He Ping used to work here.
After we finished shopping, we parted ways at the entrance of the department store.
Watching Shen Qiaoyue and Lu Chen drive away, Shen Qiaoying sighed, "It'll probably be a long time before we see each other again after this separation!"
He Ping said, "It's okay. When I have a vacation, I'll come back with you. We'll definitely have time to meet."
Shen Qiaoying looked up at He Ping, nodded, and comforted herself.
Children will eventually grow up and leave home.
In the residential compound, Xia Xiaoli and a few friends had lunch, helped with the cleaning, and then escorted them to the entrance of the compound.
After things calmed down, Xia Xiaoli returned home, packed her daily necessities, and went to the hospital with Zhang Dali and Xiang Shulan to complete the admission procedures.
Xia Xiaoli lay in bed, quietly staring at the ceiling of the ward, and took a deep breath.
"Xiaoli, don't worry, your cousin-in-law will come to visit you every day." Xiang Shulan comforted Xia Xiaoli, bringing over a thermos from home. "Your cousin-in-law Xinlan just said that the surgery and medical appointments have been arranged. The doctors from Beijing will arrive tomorrow, and Xinlan will have them come to see you when they are available."
"Yes, I understand, sister-in-law." Xia Xiaoli took a deep breath, excited and expectant.
She didn't know if her foot would ever heal, but she was also full of hope for the future.
After Zhang Dali finished the formalities and returned, he talked to Xia Xiaoli for a while, then went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy vegetables, as they would probably run out if he went too late.
When Shen Qiaoyue got home, she suddenly remembered that she had asked her uncle to help investigate Lu Chen's background, but there had been no progress since.
Her uncle left without making a phone call, and she didn't know who to contact him. At noon, when the leaders came to the wedding banquet, Shen Qiaoyue forgot to ask.
"Brother Chen, let's go check on An Lude and Yao Yao. They probably haven't gone to sleep yet, right?" Looking at the sky outside, which was turning gray and dim, she had left in a hurry at noon and hadn't had time to talk to Jiang Jinyao properly.
Lu Chen hurriedly pulled Shen Qiaoyue and said, "Don't go. It's getting late, everyone's getting ready for bed."
Why would you go there on their wedding night?
Shen Qiaoyue wondered why Lu Chen was holding her like that, and asked curiously, "Aren't you still awake?"
"They might already be asleep. Don't go over and disturb their time together." Lu Chen was a man and knew An Lude best. At this hour, he was probably already asleep.
"Alright." Shen Qiaoyue could only compromise under Lu Chen's persuasion.
Hugging Lu Chen's waist, she said happily, "Since I'm with Brother He, I don't have to go back to the countryside to suffer anymore. I'm so happy!"
"I know you're happy. We've been talking about it all the way back!" Lu Chen felt that Shen Qiaoyue really cared about her sister. All the way back, she talked about what to buy and what to get when her sister got married, since she couldn't be there. She had planned it all out.
