Cao Jing gave birth to a daughter, who was just one year younger than Zhou Chi.
Too much has changed in this life, so Qin Hanshu wasn't too surprised to learn that Cao Jing had given birth to a daughter.
She was just worried that Qin Feiyang and Cao Jing's son, who had been abducted by human traffickers in their previous life, would be born again in this life.
Because if that child had to wait until the time of the previous life to be born, that would have been during the strictest period of the one-child policy. If there is an extra child in this life, would he still have a chance to come?
Qin Hanshu had never met the child, but that didn't stop her from cherishing him.
He was probably six or seven years old when he was abducted, and his life had already been turned upside down so drastically... Were the families he was taken to well-off? Were they good to him? We no longer know the answers to these questions.
The only hope is that he can be reborn into Cao Jing's womb in this life, so that he can be compensated with a joyful and carefree life.
Before Cao Jing was born, Cao's mother had already moved in to take care of her.
Seeing that Qin Hanshu had no one to take care of the child, she even offered to help.
Qin Hanshu was touched, but still declined. Cao's mother was getting old and couldn't possibly take care of so many things.
Because of the nature of Cao Jing's profession, she didn't rush back to work after giving birth and completing her postpartum confinement period.
She gained 20 pounds after giving birth, and after her postpartum period, she started to lose weight, but only managed to lose a few pounds in two months.
It's very likely that Cao Jing will never be able to return to the stage.
However, she had already prepared for this. There was some regret, but she wasn't too heartbroken.
One baby after another was being born upstairs and downstairs, and Liu Ercui even brought her twins over, making the building even more lively.
Qin Hanshu asked Liu Ercui, "Your twins are old enough to start elementary school, right? Are you sending them back after the New Year?"
Liu Ercui said, "My parents-in-law can't bear to part with it, what can we do?"
Qin Hanshu found it strange, "Doesn't your Zhang Battalion Commander have several brothers in his hometown? They must have had quite a few grandchildren. Your in-laws shouldn't be without children to enjoy their company."
Liu Ercui smiled and said, "You're not an outsider, so I'll tell you the truth. My in-laws didn't say it outright, but I guessed it a long time ago."
"They've been leaving my twins in the countryside all this time just so they have an excuse to send more money back home."
“At first, I sent 20 yuan home a month. After the twins went home, it became 40 yuan, which took up half of my salary.”
"Actually, in the countryside, you can't spend money even if you have it; twenty yuan is already a lot."
Qin Hanshu nodded and said, "My current salary is only 25 yuan a month."
Liu Ercui sighed, "Yes, my parents-in-law are very frugal. They can't spend any money at all. They just keep it there to help their other brothers."
Liu Ercui and her husband both understood this principle and felt that there was nothing wrong with helping their brother, which is why they didn't expose their parents' little scheme.
However, since the twins are old enough to start school, and the schools in our hometown aren't in good condition, we'll definitely have to bring them back.
At that time, the money sent home will also be discounted.
Another tug-of-war ensues...
"Hey, you said your salary is 25 yuan?" Liu Ercui asked in confusion. "I remember your salary was 23 yuan a month, wasn't it?"
Qin Hanshu smiled and said, "I got a raise. Now I'm earning the salary of an eleventh-level clerk."
Liu Ercui clicked her tongue several times, looking at Qin Hanshu with immense envy.
“Women who have jobs are different. You, your sister-in-law, and Sister-in-law Hongxia, your behavior and mannerisms are all different.”
Qin Hanshu smiled and said, "Actually, it's nothing, just that I've been in contact with more people and things."
Liu Ercui nodded, "Yes, a housewife like me can only revolve around pots and pans."
Qin Hanshu thought for a moment and asked, "Sister-in-law, do you also want to work?"
Liu Ercui said with a wry smile, "It's pointless to even think about it. I'm just a woman with only a primary school education, what kind of job could I possibly get?"
Qin Hanshu shook her head and said, "Not all jobs require education. Our department store is hiring a batch of cleaners. If you don't mind, I can give you an application form."
Qin Hanshu's statement that he didn't look down on anyone was just a humble way of putting it. In a desirable workplace, even a cleaning job is desirable, and many people would do anything to get in.
This time, the recruitment of cleaners is completely open to the public, and the competition is fierce, but Qin Hanshu can put in a good word for them.
Liu Ercui has been helping to take care of Zhou Chi for over a year. Qin Hanshu felt that Zhou Chi was old enough to be sent to daycare, but Liu Ercui was unwilling to do so.
Liu Ercui said she was worried; there were too many people at the daycare center, and they wouldn't be able to keep a close eye on her. She would continue to take care of her. Anyway, Zhou Chi and Pei'er were about the same age, so they could be playmates.
To express her gratitude, Qin Hanshu brought things upstairs many times, but Liu Ercui only accepted eggs each time, and occasionally accepted some candy for the children to eat.
Moreover, Liu Ercui's initial intention in helping Zhou Chi was not for personal gain.
This is a great favor.
Assigning you a job is nothing special.
Liu Ercui was momentarily surprised by Qin Hanshu's words, but then she fell silent.
After a long silence, she smiled and shook her head, saying, "Forget it, I can't just leave my family affairs alone, there are five children to take care of..."
Qin Hanshu thought about it and agreed, so she didn't bring it up again.
As the two were talking, they saw Zhou Chi come out of the inner room and stagger toward Qin Hanshu.
Although Zhou Chi walks with a shaky gait, looking as if he might fall at any moment, he is already much stronger than his peers.
Qin Hanshu squatted down and opened her arms, encouraging Zhou Chi to come into her arms, "Son, come to Mommy."
Unexpectedly, Zhou Chi stopped halfway there, then anxiously pointed to the inner room and muttered, "Pei, Pei'e..."
Qin Hanshu asked in surprise, "Achi, you can talk now?"
Zhou Chi is ahead of other children in everything, but he is not good at speaking. Pei'er can call Qin Auntie and Zhou Uncle, but Zhou Chi can't even call his mother.
The first time I called out to someone today, it was Pei'er.
Wait, that's not right.
Zhou Chi's expression grew increasingly anxious, and he even stomped his little foot, almost falling to the ground.
Qin Hanshu quickly got up, picked up her son who almost fell, and strode into the inner room.
Seeing her like this, Liu Ercui put down her melon seeds and followed her over. "What's wrong? What happened?"
Two adults were drinking tea, eating melon seeds, and chatting outside, while the children were playing on the beds inside the room.
With Yue'er, their older sister, around, Liu Ercui and Qin Hanshu didn't pay much attention to the inner room.
—If anything happens, Yue'er will call for help.
Qin Hanshu was shocked as soon as she entered the room.
Pei'er lay on her back on the bed, her mouth wide open, her face turning purple, and she was making "heh heh" sounds.
