Qian Duoduo watched Jin Jinxiu gently coaxing the child, a slight smile playing on her lips. She whispered, "I have to hurry and tell my aunt the good news!" Before she finished speaking, she took Peng Fei and ran off like a happy little bird. Jin Jinxiu watched their disappearing figures and smiled helplessly. This girl, she's a mother now, but she's still like a child.
At that moment, He Ying, who was at home taking care of her child, suddenly heard her name being called over the loudspeaker at the brigade headquarters. She glanced down at Qian Yin's youngest son in her arms and, with him in tow, strolled leisurely towards the headquarters. Along the way, He Ying wondered to herself who could be looking for her. Perhaps it was that mischievous girl, Duo Duo. Counting the days, Qian Gui's wife was probably due to give birth soon; if that were the case, it would make perfect sense. Thinking of this, He Ying's pace unconsciously quickened.
Before long, He Ying arrived at Qian Sheng's office. Before even entering, she saw Qian Sheng laughing heartily on the phone, looking incredibly happy. Just looking at Qian Sheng's expression, He Ying already knew the answer: it was definitely Duo Duo calling again. So, with a smile, she lightly stepped into the room.
As soon as Qian Sheng saw He Ying enter, he quickly stood up to greet her and said cheerfully, "Oh, sister-in-law, you've finally arrived!" As he spoke, he quickly handed the phone in his hand to He Ying.
He Ying smiled as she took the phone. Just as she put the receiver to her ear, she heard Qian Duoduo's clear, melodious voice on the other end: "Auntie—"
He Ying's face instantly lit up with a smile. This girl had that ability; just hearing her voice made people happy. Qian Sheng had already turned and walked to the side, squatting down to play with the child. Seeing this, He Ying smiled and replied to Qian Duoduo, "Duoduo, you were looking for me?"
"Auntie, congratulations! Brother Qian Gui's baby has been born! It's a big, healthy boy, weighing six pounds and eight ounces. He's so handsome! Although he's always sleeping, you can tell he has big eyes and double eyelids, just like you!"
Hearing this, He Ying smiled and said, "Okay, okay, how is your sister-in-law's health?"
"Don't worry about it, my sister-in-law is enjoying the chicken soup my mother lovingly cooked! And, Brother Qian Gui is so considerate, feeding her spoonful by spoonful himself, it's so sweet it's sickening!" Qian Duoduo's undisguised teasing voice came from the microphone.
He Ying couldn't help but cover her face and chuckle, then said, "In that case, I'd better hurry up and get ready to take good care of my sister-in-law during her postpartum period!"
Qian Duoduo smiled and replied, "Sure, when you're planning to come, remember to let Brother Qian Yin know first and ask him to get you a plane ticket. You can just fly over. I'll arrange for someone to pick you up at the airport."
He Ying quickly waved her hand and declined, saying, "Oh, don't go to so much trouble! I can just take the train. Besides, flying is too expensive!"
As the two were talking, Li Dafa, sitting to the side, suddenly looked up, his gaze fixed on He Ying, and he unconsciously clicked his tongue a few times. He muttered to himself, "Goodness, flying on a plane isn't something you can just do casually!" But then he thought about it; his two nephews had been working hard in the county town for years, and had indeed accumulated a considerable sum of money. Even their dilapidated mud-brick house back home had been demolished and rebuilt. The new house consisted of four spacious and bright brick rooms, all interconnected. The two brothers each occupied one side, and the elder brother's side even had a room reserved on the east side for his sister and brother-in-law. Thinking of this, Li Dafa felt quite gratified, because he couldn't bear to see his sister and brother-in-law without a place to sleep peacefully.
It seems that people aren't so sour about flying anymore.
Qian Duoduo's clear and urgent voice blew out of the microphone again like a gust of wind: "Auntie, please don't take that slow train! It takes more than a week to get from Harbin to Pengcheng! If you dawdle and make preparations any longer, by the time you get there, your sister-in-law will probably have already finished her postpartum confinement!"
Hearing this, He Ying was momentarily stunned, thinking to herself, "That's exactly it!" So she quickly replied, "Yes, yes, you're so thoughtful. I'll call Qian Yin right away and tell him." After saying that, she hung up the phone, took out a small notebook from her body, opened it, turned to the page about family, and picked up the phone to call Qian Yin to book plane tickets.
After hanging up the phone, Qian Duoduo calmed herself down a bit and then instructed the housekeeper, "Sister-in-law Gao, please prepare some soup to help with lactation. Make sure it's nutritious. I'm going to the hospital to visit my sister-in-law later, so I'll take these with me to help her recover."
After arranging these matters, Qian Duoduo sat back down on the sofa, her gaze involuntarily falling on the Pengcheng City Construction White Paper that Ling Yun had sent over two days prior. The thick stack of papers was densely covered with various texts and charts, detailing the future construction plans and development direction of the Pengcheng New Area. What attracted Qian Duoduo's attention most was the construction plan for the Pengcheng New Area. However, at this moment, she felt a mixture of joy and worry. Just recently, she had purchased a sizable plot of land, intending to develop it into a tourist destination full of cultural atmosphere and unique scenery. But this had suddenly made her funds scarce, leaving her truly strapped for cash!
Just as Qian Duoduo was racking her brains over the business plan, a sudden, urgent phone call broke the silence in the room. She picked up her phone and saw that it was her third brother, Qian Mao, calling. Qian Mao's steady, powerful voice came from the other end: "Duoduo, if you're free right now, come to the company. There's something important here that needs your attention."
Qian Duoduo was taken aback, then thought of a possibility, so she told Peng Fei to bring the stewed chicken soup to the hospital and then come to Zhongguancun. Peng Fei nodded, and Qian Duoduo drove away.
When she arrived at the company, she easily found her way to Qian Mao's office, which was empty. As she walked out, she saw Qian Mao's assistant, Zhuang Rui, approaching her. Upon seeing Qian Duoduo, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Chairman Qian, Mr. Qian is in the conference room over here."
Qian Duoduo followed Zhuang Rui toward the conference room.
