Chapter 93 Rewarding our family with work

"Qin Xiao, accompany me to the bookstore and buy some story books for Chu Yang."

In the afternoon, Jiang Tang poked the man beside him, sat on the sofa and tilted his head to look at Qin Xiao.

"Sister-in-law, Chuyang is leaving too."

Qin Chuyang stared at Jiang Tang and said in a soft voice, "I don't want to buy storybooks, I want foreign language books."

The boy now took the initiative to ask for foreign language books. Jiang Tang smiled and touched his head, "Well, I'll find some for you. But you can buy any of them. Chuyang doesn't have to choose."

You should buy storybooks and foreign language books.

The little boy grabbed Jiang Tang with his chubby hands and nodded his head with a smile.

"good!"

Qin Xiao stood up and turned off the TV. Jiang Tang led the kid out and he followed behind.

The sunlight outside was relatively mild, with just a hint of coolness. The family walked out and did not let Qin Xiao drive.

They walked slowly to the bookstore. Jiang Tang was already very familiar with the owner.

The boss just looked up at the family, stayed on Qin Xiao for two seconds, stared at Qin Xiao holding Jiang Tang's hand, and then lowered his head to flip through the book in his hand.

Jiang Tang held the kid by the hand, "Chuyang, you can choose for yourself."

The bookstore is not big, and most of the books are second-hand. They have been here many times, and the little ones would tiptoe around to read the books they like.

Jiang Tang actually wanted to seriously pick out a foreign language textbook suitable for children to learn for the first time.

Apart from finding an old foreign book, I didn't find any books suitable for the kid's age, and they were not very interesting.

She tilted her head to glance at the man standing beside her and said softly, "Qin Xiao, ask someone if they can send the foreign language books you bought for Chu Yang."

The resources in the county are still somewhat poor.

Qin Xiao lowered his head and stared at the little girl intently, and whispered, "You can ask your parents to send it over. There will be some in the capital."

Qin Xiao's words made Jiang Tang suddenly realize something. He couldn't help laughing. He raised his eyes and looked at Qin Xiao with a frown. "I didn't think of that. When I get back, I'll call my parents and ask them to send it to me."

Qin Xiao nodded.

Now that he had thought it through, Jiang Tang no longer insisted on looking for books. He waited until the kid had finished choosing the books before he took the books the kid had chosen and went to pay for them.

After paying the money, Qin Xiao took the book from Jiang Tang. Jiang Tang smiled and took Qin Chuyang's hand, leaving the bookstore and walking to the door.

The family had nothing else to buy, so they walked side by side from the bookstore entrance to their home.

She had only taken two steps when she was stopped at the intersection. Jiang Tang stared at the little girl standing in front of her and looked at her with frowned brows.

This was the girl who had come with her mother to find Jiang Tang's boss. When Qin Xiao and Qin Chuyang saw this person standing in front of them, the two brothers stepped forward and stood in front of Jiang Tang.

Sun Yan shrank timidly, grabbing the corner of her clothes. When she saw Qin Xiao's cold eyes, she couldn't help but tremble in her heart and was about to back down.

But when she thought of what her mother wanted her to do, Sun Yan couldn't help but look at Jiang Tang, with a hint of tentativeness in her voice.

"Comrade Jiang Tang, is what you said last time true?"

After she said that, her attitude towards Jiang Tang was much better than the last time she came with her mother.

Probably knowing what she was talking about, Jiang Tang glanced at her calmly and said calmly, "It's true."

She stared at the slightly haggard girl in front of her, frowning slightly, "Think about it."

Sun Yan gritted her teeth and looked up at Jiang Tang, "Well, I've thought about it. Comrade Jiang Tang, can you still give me a chance now?"

Jiang Tang said loudly, "Okay, let's go to the state-owned hotel next door and sit down to talk slowly."

Hearing Jiang Tang's agreement, Sun Yan heaved a sigh of relief. She glanced hesitantly at the ferocious Qin Xiao standing next to Jiang Tang, lowered her head and said, "Thank you, Comrade Jiang Tang."

Jiang Tang pulled Qin Chuyang and Qin Xiao and walked in front, while Sun Yan stared at the family of three in front of her and walked slowly behind.

When they arrived at the state-owned hotel, Jiang Tang directly asked for a private room and went in.

He casually ordered a pot of tea, looked at Sun Yan standing in front of the table, and said in a calm voice, "Sit down."

Sun Yan carefully glanced at Qin Xiao next to Jiang Tang, and seeing that the man had a blank expression and didn't say anything, she breathed a sigh of relief and sat down.

Sitting opposite a family of three.

Jiang Tang had no intention of beating around the bush with her, so after seeing her sit down, he asked her directly.

"You said you've thought it over?"

Sun Yan nodded, without looking at Jiang Tang, and said with her head down, "I've thought about it. Comrade Jiang Tang, you promised me before that I can work in the factory. Does it still count?"

Jiang Tang raised her eyes to look at her, but unfortunately she couldn't see her expression. She said calmly, "Are you planning to sue Jiang Hu?"

Sun Yan nodded hesitantly, "Yeah."

She raised her eyes slightly and glanced at Jiang Tang. "Comrade Jiang Tang, if I sue Jiang Hu, my reputation will definitely be ruined. Can you give me some more compensation?"

The word "compensation" made Jiang Tang frown, feeling a little uncomfortable, but she didn't say anything. Instead, she looked at Sun Yan and asked, "What kind of compensation do you want?"

Qin Xiao sat aside and did not participate in the conversation with the little girl. He just took Qin Chuyang's storybook and handed it to him, letting the kid read it and play to pass the time.

Sun Yan twitched her fingers, stared at Jiang Tang and said, "This is it, can I ask Comrade Jiang Tang to arrange for our family to work in the factory?"

"If I sue Jiang Hu and put him in jail, my reputation will be ruined, and my family will not be able to hold their heads up in front of the people around them. My brothers and sisters are not married yet. If there is someone with a bad reputation like me, it will be difficult for them to find a wife in the future."

She looked at Jiang Tang and expressed her hope, "If Comrade Jiang Tang can let our whole family work in the factory, then my brother and my younger brother will both have jobs. Even if our reputations are a little worse, we won't have trouble finding wives."

She stared at Jiang Tang expectantly. Jiang Tang didn't say a word of agreement, but just stared at her.

Only when he felt guilty staring at Sun Yan did Jiang Tang speak, "Have you arranged jobs for your whole family? How many people are there in your family?"

Sun Yan waved her hands repeatedly, "Comrade Jiang Tang, there is no need to arrange for my grandfather and grandmother, they are the labor force of our family."

"My parents, I have two older brothers and a younger brother..."

She spoke in a lower and lower voice...

Jiang Tang did not express his opinion on her family, but only stated, "You asked me to arrange for all six of you to work in the factory."

Sun Yan stared at Jiang Tang, bit her lip and spoke firmly, "Comrade Jiang Tang, you want me to sue Jiang Hu and put him in jail. These requests of mine should be your compensation to me. I just want a job. Isn't that too much?"

Jiang Tang raised his eyebrows and nodded, "It's not excessive."

When she said this, Sun Yan immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and then stared at Jiang Tang expectantly.

Jiang Tang smiled at her and said, "However, I won't agree to your request. What I agreed to is to let you work in the factory. It's an opportunity for you alone, not for your whole family."

"But! Comrade Jiang Tang, you want Jiang Hu to go to jail. If I don't sue Jiang Hu, he won't go to jail."

"It's only a matter of time before someone like Jiang Hu gets his comeuppance. If you care about your reputation, I won't force you. Scum like that will have plenty of opportunities in the future."

Seeing the calm expression on Jiang Tang's face, Sun Yan hesitated for a moment and then softened her tone, "Then, Comrade Jiang Tang, if you don't count me and my mother, can you let my brother and younger brother work in the factory? If they can't find wives in the future, our Sun family will be cut off."

Jiang Tang stared at the person in front of him, frowning, "You mean if your reputation is ruined, your brothers won't be able to get married?"

Sun Yan nodded as a matter of course, "Well, if Comrade Jiang Tang cannot agree to let them work in the factory, I don't want to sue Jiang Hu at all."

"At least your reputation won't be ruined."

"How old are you this year?"

Sun Yan was stunned for a moment by Jiang Tang's sudden question, but still answered honestly.

"Twenty."

Jiang Tang nodded, "What about your brother?"

Sun Yan didn't know why Jiang Tang asked this, but she still answered honestly.

"The eldest brother is 24 years old, and the second brother is 22 years old."

Jiang Tang let out a short laugh.

"Twenty-four and still not married?"

Jiang Tang didn't think it was a problem to be unmarried at the age of 24. After all, people of that age would have just graduated from college not long ago.

But the present is different from the later generations. Now if you are 24 years old and not married, you are really old.

Therefore, as soon as Jiang Tang asked the question, it sounded like a mockery to Sun Yan.

She raised her eyes and stared at Jiang Tang. "Comrade Jiang Tang, isn't it too rude to say that?"

She thought that she would not be able to achieve her goal today and Jiang Tang would definitely not help her. This question was too harsh.

Jiang Tang did not comment on her reaction, but simply said in a calm voice, "Your brother has not been able to get married at the age of 24, and it will be difficult for him to get married in the future. How can he not get married because of your tarnished reputation?"

Jiang Tang’s words made Sun Yan’s face turn red and white.

"It's because my family is poor."

Otherwise, she wouldn't have been so anxious to hand herself over to Jiang Hu after hearing that Jiang Hu was Jiang Tang's younger brother. She just wanted to tie Jiang Hu down and ask for more dowry. It would be best if she could find a job in the factory through Jiang Hu.

Unfortunately, I had no idea that the relationship between Jiang Hu and Jiang Tang was so bad.

It was so bad that Jiang Tang, as his elder sister, wanted to send Jiang Hu to jail.

"Is your family poor?" Jiang Tang asked doubtfully.

Sun Yan's face flushed, "It's because our family is poor. If our family wasn't poor, my eldest brother would have married a long time ago. Those women are all greedy for money, so of course they won't marry into my family."

Jiang Tang sneered, "Poor? In today's society, the majority are poor people. Why are other poor people unmarried?"

Sun Yan was stunned, she had never thought about this problem before. In her eyes, her brothers were all good in every way and good-looking. There was obviously nothing wrong with them. The reason they couldn't find a wife must be because their family was poor.

But now, hearing Jiang Tang say this, Sun Yan couldn't help but her face went blank for a moment.

Who says it isn't true? There are poor people everywhere now, and how many people are rich? How come other equally poor people can find wives, but her brothers and sisters can't?

Sun Yan's mind went blank. She stared at Jiang Tang and said, "If not because of poverty, what else could it be?"

Sun Yan gradually found her own voice. "Even if it's not because of poverty, as long as I can have this job, I won't have to worry about food and clothing in the future, and I won't have to worry about not finding a wife."

Jiang Tang had never met Sun Yan's so-called brother, so he just looked at Sun Yan and said indifferently.

"What I promised you was a job opportunity, not your family."

At this point, Jiang Tang raised his eyebrows and asked Sun Yan to consider, "Now that you have a job, you can help your brothers and sisters in the future, as long as you are willing."

Speaking of this, Jiang Tang said softly, "I married Qin Xiao. He is the only labor force in Qin Xiao's family and there is no one to help. We have reached this stage."

Sun Yan's face was red and dark. Qin Xiao didn't have any family to help her, but they were a big family. They obviously had many people to help them, but they were too poor to take the blame.

"It's not worth it to ruin my reputation just to get a job."

"My whole life is gone. The price of this job is too high."

Jiang Tang did not force Sun Yan, but just said in a calm voice, "Think about it yourself."

Sun Yan stared at Jiang Tang with tears in her eyes. "Comrade Jiang Tang, you are also a woman, you can definitely relate to me, right? A woman who has lost her reputation and cannot get married, might as well die. Just think of it as a pity for me and help me."

Her voice was a little choked up. Jiang Tang bit her lip and refused to compromise.

She couldn't understand how this incident could ruin a woman's life, and it happened when Sun Yan thought it was voluntary. However, the other party had already made a conclusion about herself, so Jiang Tang would not say anything more.

"I only promised to give you a job, not to outsource your family."

Seeing Jiang Tang's expression, it was clear that there was no way she could persuade him. Sun Yan was so irritated that she wanted to lose her temper. But before she could get angry, she was stared at by the man next to Jiang Tang. She suddenly felt cold all over.

He just whispered in a trembling voice, "I'll think about it."

After she finished speaking, she ran out with her back hunched.

Jiang Tang lowered his eyes to check the time, then tilted his head to look at Qin Xiao, "Let's eat in the hotel today, and then go back after we finish eating."

Qin Xiao nodded, then took the menu and started ordering.

Sun Yan ran out of the state-owned hotel and was stopped at the door by her mother and her two sons who were hiding at the door.

Sun's mother looked at Sun Yan anxiously, frowning and looking at her anxiously.

"Yanyan, how is it, did Jiang Tang agree to work for our family?"

Sun Yan took a deep breath and shook her head. "She didn't agree. She said she would only agree to give me one job."

Sun's mother couldn't help but pinch Sun Yan's hand, "Why are you so useless?"

The two men next to her also frowned and looked at Sun Yan, "Yan Yan, you didn't tell me that you only need to find jobs for us. There's no need to take you and your parents with you."

"Brother, I've already told you that Jiang Tang doesn't want to do this. She said she can only give me this job, and nothing else is possible."

Sun Yan's two brothers stared at her and frowned impatiently.

"What's the point of giving you a job? If you lose your reputation, your brother and I will never find a wife in our lifetime."

Sun Yan originally thought so, but now the words Jiang Tang just said to her would unconsciously emerge in her mind.

She shook her head and couldn't help but say out loud what Jiang Tang had said.

"Brother, you are still unmarried at the age of 24. How can it be because of me that you cannot find a wife?"

She dared to refute like this, and her elder and second brothers were unable to react for a moment and were speechless.

It was Sun's mother who reacted and pinched Sun Yan again.

"It's because our family is poor, and you are not married yet. Who would be willing to marry their daughter to serve my sister-in-law?"

These are what her parents often told her in the past, so she always thinks about getting married as soon as possible so as not to be a drag on her family. If she marries well, she can help her brothers at home.

But now, Sun Yan couldn't help but speak up, "Nowadays, everyone is poor, how come others can find wives, but my eldest brother and second brother don't even have a wife."

Grandmother Sun's eyes were filled with hatred. "Silly girl, did Jiang Tang say something to you that made you so heartless? I worked hard to raise you for twenty years just to hear you talk back, right?"

Sun Yan's mother grabbed her hand, and her face was distorted in pain.

She quickly admitted her mistake, "No, Mom, I didn't mean to talk back."

Grandmother glared at her and said, "You are useless. You just want a few more jobs, but you can't even do that."

Sun Yan said softly, "Mom, I can go to work. If the eldest and second brothers need help in the future, I will definitely help."

"Jiang Hu can't offer anything. Now only Jiang Tang can give me a job."

"What kind of job can you do? Go home and think about it and see if you can find a job for your brother and his friends."

Sun Yan lowered her eyes and glanced at her elder and second brothers who were disappointed that they didn't get jobs. She felt a mixed feeling in her heart.

After the family finished their dinner at the state-owned hotel and came out of the private room, they did not see their grandson's family outside, who had already left.

Because he ate too much, Jiang Tang touched his stomach and whispered, "Let's walk home to digest the food."

Qin Xiao moved the hand holding the book to the other side, moved closer to Jiang Tang and held her hand.

Jiang Tang held one child in each hand and walked slowly towards home.

By the time they arrived at the door of their home, it had already darkened. Qin Xiao took the key and opened the door. As soon as she entered, she saw Xiao Heidan sitting at the door waiting for them, wagging his tail and sticking out his tongue.

When he saw his owner coming back, the little black dog wagged his tail even more fiercely.

Qin Chuyang immediately smiled, bent down and picked up the puppy, and touched the little black egg's head pitifully, "Be good, Heidan, I will take you out to play next time."

The little black egg rubbed against the arm of his little master obediently, being extremely well-behaved.

Qin Xiao closed the door with his backhand, and the family came in. Jiang Tang washed his hands first, then took Qin Chuyang to the living room, turned on the TV, and sat in the living room watching TV leisurely.

Qin Xiao put the book on the coffee table, went to the bathroom to turn on the water heater, then went into the bedroom and sat in front of the stove to light the fire. It didn't take long to light the fire.

After the water heater was ready, Jiang Tang took a shower before returning to the living room, where he covered himself with a small blanket and continued watching TV.

Qin Xiao brought the charcoal fire over and placed it in front of the sofa, then took Qin Chuyang to take a bath.

After taking a bath, the kid ran back to the living room and sat next to Jiang Tang. Jiang Tang smiled, lifted the small blanket, and wrapped himself and Qin Chuyang in it. The uncle and his wife stared at the TV with relish.

Qin Xiao first threw the dirty clothes into the washing machine, then washed her underwear by hand and hung them out to dry. While the washing machine was still running, she strode into the living room.

As soon as he entered the living room, he saw a big and a small person, both wrapped up tightly, staring at their exposed heads. The man's face was extremely dark, and he walked over and sat down, but Qin Xiao did not sit down.

He just stared at Qin Chuyang and said in a deep voice, "Qin Chuyang, it's time to go to bed."

Qin Chuyang only showed his little head and looked at Qin Xiao, "Brother, can you watch for a while longer?"

Qin Xiao took a deep breath and his thin lips moved slightly.

Jiang Tang looked up at the man and said softly, "Qin Xiao, wait for Chu Yang to finish looking at the last part of this place."

The man closed his eyes and sat next to Jiang Tang. Jiang Tang stared at the man's pajamas, then looked down at the blanket on himself and Xiaotuanzi, and coughed lightly.

After the last clip on TV was over, Qin Chuyang lowered his eyes in disappointment. Qin Xiao stood up straight, and his tall figure instantly covered the two people, one big and one small, who were wrapped in a blanket. Like the shadows of the villain in the TV series, the two people, big and small, looked up at the villain in front of them pitifully.

Qin Xiao lifted the blanket, held the kid's waist with one hand, lifted him up, and covered Jiang Tang with her blanket before carrying the kid upstairs.

Jiang Tang curled up in the blanket and silently changed the channel.

After a while, Qin Xiao came back and sat quietly next to Jiang Tang.

Jiang Tang blinked, tilted her head and stared at the man next to her, silently lifted the blanket with one hand, and looked at Qin Xiao with her big dark eyes.

The man took a look and moved closer to Jiang Tang.

Jiang Tangcai covered the man with a blanket with a smile on her face, curled up on Qin Xiao's shoulder, and just watched TV.

"Is Chuyang asleep?"

Qin Xiao responded calmly, "Yeah."

Then the man said calmly, "This blanket is a little small. It's bound to leak air when wrapped with two people. Just get another blanket."

Jiang Tang stared at the TV and said softly, "Then go get another one."

The man was silent for a moment, his voice calm and even, "Not now, my temperature is high."

Jiang Tang couldn't help but chuckle, but didn't say anything in rebuttal. She rubbed her head against Qin Xiao's shoulder and put her arm around Qin Xiao's arm.

To be honest, Qin Xiao's temperature is indeed high.

The couple watched TV quietly, a rare moment of peace, until the washing machine in the yard stopped. Qin Xiao was silent for a moment, tilted his head and stared intently at the pretty face of the little girl, then gently took off the blanket covering himself.

Holding the little girl's cheek with his big hands, he covered the sleeping person with the blanket again. After wrapping the person tightly, he cherished the sleeping little girl in his arms, walked up the stairs steadily and quickly step by step, and opened the door. After entering the bedroom, he gently put the girl on the bed and carefully twisted the corners of the quilt.

The man made almost no response as he walked out of the bedroom, then went downstairs to take the clothes out of the washing machine. After washing them, he spun the clothes dry and hung them up to hang.

I quickly turned off the power in the house and closed the door before returning to the bedroom.

Qin Xiao climbed onto the bed. He was still a little cold, so he didn't get close to Jiang Tang. But the sound of him getting on the bed still woke Jiang Tang up a little.

Jiang Tang turned over to look for him, and after her fingertips touched the man, she moved closer to him without any fear of the coolness on Qin Xiao's body. She nestled in his arms with peace of mind, her voice dazed.

"Qin Xiao, is the TV turned off?"

Originally, Qin Xiao was afraid that the coolness on his body would freeze the little girl, but now, looking at the tiny one nestled in his arm, his voice softened.

"Um."

He stroked the girl's soft hair with his big hands, and said in a low, magnetic voice in the darkness, "Go to sleep."

Jiang Tang found the most comfortable position in the man's arms, uttered a vague word, and closed her eyes.

Qin Xiao hugged the person tightly in his arms and closed his eyes.

The next day, Jiang Tang called the capital early in the morning after breakfast.

I came back late last night and didn't call the capital, so I'd better get back early today.

Zhou's mother was playing on the sofa with Zhou An in her arms. After hearing the phone call, she quickly picked up the phone.

"Hello, Tangtang?"

Jiang Tang responded with a smile, "Yes, Mom."

Zhou's mother's voice became a little more loving, "Why are you calling mom? Do you miss her?"

"Well, I miss Mom, but I still have something to tell her."

Zhou's mother smiled and replied, "My dear, what are you talking about?"

Jiang Tang told her what happened.

"Mom, this is what I am doing. I am currently giving Chuyang enlightenment. Children's books are not a problem here in the county, and you can buy them anywhere. However, I want to buy some enlightenment books in foreign languages ​​for Chuyang. It would be even better if they are more interesting. The resources here in the county are limited, so I would like to ask you if you can buy them at home and send them to me."

After hearing this, Zhou's mother agreed without hesitation, "Okay, Mommy has to go out today, so I'll go to the bookstore and find the book for you, and then I'll send it to you."

"Okay, thank you, Mom."

Zhou's mother was helpless. "What's there to thank for? My dear girl, just wait patiently. I will definitely get things done for you."

As she spoke, she glanced at Zhou An lying on the sofa and raised her eyebrows. "Mom is thinking, should I buy some cards for An An to look at? I don't want him to learn, but just let him look at the patterns and play with them."

Jiang Tang smiled and said, "If there are any colorful cards like the fruit car, you can buy them and give them to him as toys."

Zhou's mother also meant this. "Well, I'll go to the bookstore and take a look. I'll buy a copy of whatever I can for Chuyang."

The mother and daughter talked for a while before Jiang Tang hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, she took Xiao Chuyang to the balcony.

Learn something every day.

The boy has gotten used to it now. He sits on the chair obediently, swings his legs, opens the notebook carefully, holds the pen and stares at Jiang Tang intently with his big eyes.

"Sister-in-law, Chuyang is ready."

The boy was ready, Jiang Tang picked up the textbook and started helping him read.

Just after I finished reading, I heard a knock on the door downstairs, followed by Wenjuan's faint voice.

"sister in law."

Jiang Tang touched the boy's head and said, "Chuyang, check yourself carefully. There is still a chance to correct your mistakes. I will go and open the door for your sister Wenjuan first."

Qin Chuyang nodded obediently, staring at the notebook in his hand with his big eyes, and tried to check and correct the mistakes himself according to Jiang Tang's words.

Jiang Tang trotted downstairs, opened the door for Wenjuan, and took Wenjuan to the balcony.

When Wen Juan saw Qin Chuyang sitting on a chair on the balcony studying seriously, she couldn't help but look at Jiang Tang.

"Sister-in-law, you taught Chuyang so well."

She couldn't help but touch her belly when she said this, "It would be great if the little one in my belly could learn more."

She looked at Jiang Tang and said, "Our family can still produce a cultured person."

Jiang Tang put the chair away for her and said with a smile, "Of course I will. You and He Tian are both so talented and capable."

Wenjuan looked at her belly with a smile on her face. "It would be great if it was a girl. I would definitely let her study and learn whatever she wants."

Jiang Tang looked at Wen Juan and said, "If you want to learn, you are free now, so you can learn by yourself and consider it as prenatal education."

Wen Juan nodded calmly, "Sister-in-law, I always listen to the tape recorder you gave me when I'm alone at home and have nothing to do. I don't know if she can hear it."

Jiang Tang lowered his eyes and said, "If you don't want to hear it, I'll kick you in the stomach and you'll probably hear it."

Wen Juan couldn't help laughing, "She really kicks me from time to time. That's not the end. She is a person who doesn't like to study."

"It's still in the womb, so it doesn't count. It will only count after she gives birth."

Wen Juan smiled and said, "He Tian and I naturally hope that she loves to study and can be as smart and outstanding as Xiao Ge and you, sister-in-law, so that we don't have to worry about everything."

She touched her belly, her eyes full of tenderness, "But, this is our own child. Even if his grades are poor, he is still our baby."

As soon as she finished speaking, Wenjuan noticed something moving in her stomach, and she could feel the movement on her belly in the palm of her hand.

She immediately raised her eyes to look at Jiang Tang, and lowered her voice, "Sister-in-law, do you want to touch it now? The little guy probably heard what I said, and is responding to me with the movement in his stomach."

As soon as she said this, Jiang Tang became nervous and breathed very lightly. She moved her fingers forward tremblingly and gently placed them on Wen Juan's hand on her belly. Wen Juan let go of her hand in time.

The next moment, Jiang Tang felt the touch in the palm of his hand, and couldn't help but stare at Wen Juan's eyes full of wonder with his eyes wide open.

Her voice was reduced to a breath.

"Juan'er, I felt it, it really moved."

So... magical. This was the first time that Jiang Tang truly felt a little life like this. Everything in his eyes was filled with miracles.

Wenjuan looked at her sister-in-law's cautious look and couldn't help laughing.

"Sister-in-law, it's okay. You can feel it more firmly."

Jiang Tang said softly, "I was afraid of bumping into her and scaring her."

Wen Juan shook her head. "No."

Jiang Tang put his fingers completely on it, touched it for a while, and then he could no longer feel the little guy moving.

It was hard to tell whether he was disappointed or relieved, Jiang Tang took his hand off Wen Juan's belly.

After exhaling softly, the next moment, the little boy beside him grasped his fingertips. Jiang Tang looked down at the boy and said softly, "Chuyang, what's wrong?"

Qin Chuyang blinked his eyes, "Sister-in-law, did the baby inside Sister Wenjuan move?"

The boy had just heard the conversation between his sister-in-law and Sister Wenjuan, so he jumped off his chair and ran to Jiang Tang, wanting to stretch out his little paws to touch her as well.

Jiang Tang touched the boy's head and said, "Next time, if the little baby moves again, let Chu Yang touch him gently, okay?"

The little guy's eyes lit up, "Yeah!"

"Then we Chuyang have to set an example for the little baby, so..."

She stretched out her hand in front of the kid and said, "We need to bring Chuyang's book over to sister-in-law for inspection."

The boy obediently took the notebook and handed it to Jiang Tang for inspection.

Wenjuan watched her sister-in-law talking to Chuyang and couldn't help but smile.

Jiang Tang took the notebook to check and saw that the boy had made several corrections on it, which he had corrected himself.

"Chuyang, you are correct this time. You don't need to correct it. What reward do you want, Chuyang?"

Jiang Tang looked at the kid and thought to herself that in the future, she would not correct what the kid wrote after he finished. She would let him find the problems himself and correct them himself so that he would remember them better.

"Sister-in-law, Chuyang wants to watch TV today. He can watch it as long as he wants."

Is this because I wanted to take revenge today after my brother coaxed me to sleep yesterday?

However, Jiang Tang still agreed, "Okay, but the reward is only for today. You still have to go to bed early and get up early in the future."

"Um!"

The big and the small discussed and decided the matter.

Wenjuan was watching Coke from the side.

"Sister-in-law, you're playing house like Chuyang, and it sounds fun."

Jiang Tang's eyes shone slightly, "It's just playing house. I don't have any experience in raising children."

Wenjuan glanced at Jiang Tang, who had grown from a skinny black monkey to a plump white dumpling in just one year, and shook her head.

"If you still have no experience in raising children, you will be considered incompetent in other families."

Jiang Tang coughed lightly and said, "Just be nice to him as much as you can."

"Before, Chuyang was so young, and because of the bad conditions, Qin Xiao also taught him a lot."

But the reality was that Chuyang still had a hard year.

Wen Juan nodded, "You and Brother Xiao have raised them well."

Jiang Tang couldn't stand her and could only speak up, "You and He Tian must be the same."

Wen Juan said repeatedly, "We didn't have the confidence to raise a child before, and we didn't want the child to suffer with us. Now that conditions have improved, we will definitely do our best to give the child a good life."

Jiang Tang raised his hand and touched hers, saying softly, "Of course I will."

Sitting on the balcony, feeling the cool breeze, basking in the gentle sun, and chatting casually.

It was not until the afternoon when the sunshine was not so bright anymore and it became a little cold to sit on the balcony, that Jiang Tang took Wen Juan downstairs to the living room.

Sitting on the sofa, the young man handed the remote control to Jiang Tang.

Jiang Tang handed it to Wen Juan, who took it without hesitation and switched to another machine.

Jiang Tang said softly, "I asked you to order fresh milk before. Have you ordered it now?"

Wen Juan nodded. "Yes, sister-in-law, the day after you told me, I asked He Tian to contact them. Now they send it over every morning."

She looked at Jiang Tang with gratitude in her eyes, "Follow the method you taught me, sister-in-law, hot milk to remove the fishy smell, eat it with eggs in the morning, it replenishes nutrition, it is more effective than malted milk."

Jiang Tang felt relieved when she said this, "It's OK as long as you don't feel disgusted or nauseous."

Wen Juan nodded, "No, I drink it every day now. He Tian helps me make it, and I let him drink it too, to replenish his body."

"Well, that's best."

"If there's anything you want to eat that's inconvenient for you to make, remember to come to me and I'll make it for you. Taking good care of your body is the most important thing."

Wenjuan stared at her belly, her face full of emotion, "I know, sister-in-law."

Jiang Tang looked at her bulging belly and said gently, "Come to my place more often on weekdays to supplement your nutrition, but you don't need to have too much nutrition. It will be difficult to give birth to a child if it is too big."

Medical conditions are not very good now, and pregnant women have to give birth naturally. If they blindly raise the baby in their belly too big, Wenjuan will still suffer.

Although she had no experience, she had at least been online in her later life.

Wen Juan's eyes were slightly hot and she held Jiang Tang's hand tightly.

"Sister-in-law, He Tian and I really don't know how to repay you and Brother Xiao."

How can you be so nice to them?

They are not brothers, but they are better than brothers.

They just called each other "Brother Xiao" and "Sister-in-law", and it was as if they were really the closest to each other and someone would take care of everything for them.

Jiang Tang held her hand in return and smiled lightly, "Hetian is an ambitious and responsible person. Even if Qin Xiao and I weren't there, he wouldn't have stayed the same for himself and for you."

She patted Wen Juan's hand and soothed her softly, "Okay, now you have to stay in a good mood at all times, and put aside any other messy thoughts for the time being."

Wenjuan pursed her lips and nodded, without saying anything else.

In the evening, Qin Xiao came back first.

Seeing Wen Juan, he said calmly, "Hetian is at the State-owned Hotel. He will come over later."

If he had known in advance that Wenjuan was at home, he would have driven Hetian back directly.

Jiang Tang responded, "We were so engrossed in our conversation that we forgot to inform you. He Tian will probably pass by soon. He doesn't know Juan Er is here. Qin Xiao, open the gate to the courtyard and make sure He Tian doesn't go back."

Wen Juan said loudly, "Sister-in-law, I'm going to buy food at the state-owned hotel with Tian Shang. I'll go back first and come back tomorrow."

Jiang Tang thought about it and said, "Okay, then you come over tomorrow, and tomorrow I'll ask He Tian not to bring food to the state-owned hotel."

Jiang Tang wrinkled his nose when he said this. "From now on, if you don't have time to cook at night, don't go to the state-owned hotel to bring food. Come here to eat. Don't refuse."

Wen Juan smiled and nodded, "Yes, sister-in-law, Hotan only brings it back once in a while. We won't eat the food from the restaurant every day, don't worry."

Jiang Tang nodded, "Sometimes the hotel is too oily and salty. If you don't have time to work during your pregnancy, come here."

Wen Juan agreed repeatedly, and Jiang Tang did not stop her and let her go back.

Qin Xiao closed the courtyard gate before taking Qin Chuyang to wash his hands, and then they sat at the table for dinner.

Jiang Tang picked up a piece of meat and put it in Qin Xiao's bowl, with a smile in her pupils as she reflected the man's figure.

"I called the capital today. My mother said she would go pick out some books for Chuyang and mail them back to us."

Qin Xiao glanced at Qin Chuyang who was eating next to him, and responded in a deep voice.

"Also, I promised Chuyang today that he can watch TV until very late today as a reward for getting all the answers correct."

Jiang Tang stared at the man in front of him and said softly, "Don't take Chuyang to bed as soon as the time comes. Today is a special case."

Qin Xiao paused with his hand holding the chopsticks, stared with his dark eyes at the young fellow next to him whose eyes were curved with laughter, and agreed without any emotion.

The little guy clenched his fists and almost cheered out loud.

After dinner, Jiang Tang went to take a shower.

After taking a shower and sitting in the living room, she saw two thin blankets on the sofa. She turned around and looked at Qin Xiao pulling Qin Chuyang to take a shower, and she couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Then I curled up on the sofa, wrapped myself in a blanket and watched TV.

When the little guy came back from taking a bath, he wrinkled his nose, glanced at the other blanket, and then obediently wrapped himself tightly in his own blanket.

Jiang Tang turned the TV to the little guy's favorite cartoon and then put the remote control on the coffee table.

When Qin Xiao came over, he saw the two people wrapped in quilts. A faint smile appeared in his black eyes, and then he sat down next to Jiang Tang.

Jiang Tang tilted his head and glanced at the man next to him, and said softly, "Qin Xiao, there are blankets upstairs. Do you want to get another one?"

Qin Xiao lowered his head and stared at the little girl's porcelain-white face without saying a word.

Jiang Tang coughed lightly and stopped teasing him. She generously shared her blanket with the man and nestled in Qin Xiao's warm arms, revealing her head.

Qin Chuyang wrapped himself in his own little quilt like a little dumpling, looking at his brother and sister-in-law who were sitting next to him. He snorted softly at his brother, wrinkled his nose and watched TV.

He no longer wants this reward.
