Pregnant women are like that; when they crave something, it's like they're possessed by a craving, and they absolutely have to eat it.
If we don't let her eat, she won't be able to sleep well all night.
In mid-June, the temperature in Beijing gradually rose, but the nights were still cool. After eating noodles, Lin Wanwan took a half-hour walk before going to bed.
The next day, Qin Yushen went to the department store with Wen Mo early in the morning, and it was almost ten o'clock when they returned.
Lin Xiaoxiao was still asleep and hadn't gotten up.
"Xiao Qin, go wake Xiao Xiao up. We're going to your dad's today." Wen Shiyu knew that Lin Xiao Xiao was still asleep since it was so late and Lin Xiao Xiao hadn't come over yet.
Lu Jiawen and Qin Jinye had previously agreed to have a meal together sometime.
Later, Qin Yushen returned injured, which delayed the matter.
Now that he's recovered, he plans to visit his in-laws.
That's why Wen Mo asked Qin Yushen to go to the department store with him early in the morning; it's impossible for the in-laws to come empty-handed on their first visit.
As for why Qin Jinye didn't come to the Wen family for dinner, it was because Lin Xiaoxiao didn't want Yao Huixian and Qin Huaijun to come to her house.
She still remembers how Yao Huixian, Qin Huaiyi, and Grandpa Chu had been concerned about her courtyard house.
Anyway, there's nothing wrong with going to the Qin family's house. We don't have to cook; we can just eat there, which is super convenient.
Qin Yu nodded deeply, returned home, and pushed open the door. Sunlight streamed in through the cracks. Lin Xiaoxiao pulled the blanket over her head and turned over.
He walked over and sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Lin Xiaoxiao's rosy cheeks, and couldn't help but smile.
He reached out and pinched her cheek, waking her up, "Get up, wife."
Lin Xiaoxiao yawned with her eyes closed and reached out her hand to him.
Qin Yushen pulled her up, embraced her, and let her lean against him to doze off for a while, gently stroking her back.
"What time is it?" Lin Xiaoxiao's voice was slightly hoarse as she nuzzled her head against his neck.
"Around 10 o'clock."
"We're going to your dad's for dinner today," Lin Xiao said.
"Hmm, don't want to get up?" Qin Yushen thought she still wanted to sleep since she kept her eyes closed.
Lin Xiaoxiao shook her head, her hair tickling his neck, which was a little itchy, but Qin Yushen did not dodge.
I delayed for ten minutes, but finally got up.
After washing up and changing her clothes, Lin Xiaoxiao took the cup Qin Yushen handed her and gulped down a large glass of warm water.
Qin Yushen wanted to make her some breakfast, but Lin Xiaoxiao refused.
"It's almost lunchtime, I'm not eating."
"Eat something." Qin Yushen took out the sponge cake he bought at the supply and marketing cooperative that morning. It was fluffy and soft, and it looked like it was made fresh this morning.
Lin Xiaoxiao suddenly felt hungry and ate three pieces. She even asked Qin Yushen to give some to her uncle and parents to try.
But to my surprise, my uncle had already left home and wasn't there.
They asked and found out that Uncle wasn't going to the Qin family with them. Early in the morning, Old Master Chu came looking for them with his fishing rod. The two old men happily went fishing in the suburbs.
"Uncle said he'd make you fish soup after you go fishing." Wen Shiyu felt relieved thinking about her uncle, who seemed much healthier. "The weather's been nice lately, it's good to go out for a walk."
Lin Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "It's good to move around more."
As for what Uncle said about fishing to make soup for her, Lin Xiaoxiao temporarily believed that he could catch something.
As far as she knew, Grandpa Chu was a fisherman who never caught anything, and if her uncle went with him, well... the fish soup might be ruined.
"Let's go, it's getting late."
From the day the appointment was made, Qin Jinye instructed Yao Huixian to prepare the meal properly. However, Yao Huixian refused to do it, so he had no choice but to secretly spend some money to ask the "adopted sister" of a section chief in the compound to help.
She was called his god-sister, but she was actually just a nanny hired by his family.
Professionals are indeed different; they are quick and efficient, and the dishes they make taste very good. Qin Jinye was very satisfied and gave her extra pay after she tasted the dishes to ensure that today's banquet would go smoothly.
When the daughter-in-law's family visits for the first time, it is essential to observe the proper etiquette.
Yao Huixian left early in the morning and hadn't returned by noon. Qin Jinye was a little unhappy, but he didn't know where to look for her, so he could only let her be.
With him above her, she can't cause any trouble.
Hearing the car engine shut off outside, Qin Jinye straightened his collar and went out with a friendly smile on his face.
"Our in-laws are here? Please come in and have a seat."
The bodyguards carried in the gifts that Wen Mo and Wen Shiyu had bought, which were scattered all over the coffee table and the floor.
So many things, it must have cost a lot of money.
Seeing this, Qin Jinye's heart skipped a beat. "It's fine if our in-laws come, but why bring so many things? We're all family, we don't need all that formality."
This couple is really not short of money; they buy bottles of liquor from the Friendship Store at eighty yuan a bottle by the case, and also Zhonghua cigarettes...
Wen Shiyu disliked these social interactions. Wen Mo shook hands with Qin Jinye and said, "My precious daughter has had a difficult life since she was born. She was separated from me and her mother at birth and has suffered a lot since she was a child. She and Qin are destined to be together. She is grateful to her in-laws for taking care of her after she married into the Qin family. This is just a small gift from me and her mother."
"Yes, yes, yes..." Qin Jinye's heart skipped a beat.
Looking at Wen Mo's sincere expression, she couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
To be honest, the marriage of the two children was not very respectable. At the time, he had always been indifferent to his son Qin Yushen.
He knew perfectly well why Yao Huixian had arranged for him to marry the daughter of the Lin family, an ordinary steel factory worker.
Thinking that he could gain a friendly reputation that would help him get promoted in the future, he agreed without hesitation, even though the Lin family replaced him with another daughter.
What truly made him realize the value of the couple was the incident when Qin Yushen had his accident.
I hadn't paid much attention before, but I didn't know that my eldest son had become a deputy regimental commander and was even receiving attention from the military region leaders.
Qin Jinye then began to slowly win back his son's heart. When they arrived in Beijing, he discovered that Lin Xiaoxiao's identity was also unusual, as she had somehow become involved with the Chu family without his knowledge.
Compared to Yao Huixian and Qin Huaijun and Qin Huaiyi, the eldest son and his wife are clearly more valuable.
That's why he exiled Qin Huaiyi to the Northwest, both to give the Chu family an explanation and to let Lin Xiaoxiao know that he was on their side.
It's all about exchanging benefits; there's no genuine sincerity involved.
Did Wen Mo not know? Of course he knew, but his daughter was right. Compared to not knowing how much genuine affection existed, purely transactional relationships were simpler and purer.
Qin Jinye treats them well because he thinks they are valuable, but aren't they also maintaining a superficially harmonious relationship with him because he is valuable?
When the day comes that they are no longer of any use to us, it's uncertain who will be the first to abandon us after we've served our purpose.
Without delving too deeply, the group chatted quite amicably for a while. Qin Jinye, being a smooth talker and having climbed his way up within the system, was adept at saying one thing to one person and another to someone else.
Wen Mo is skilled in both literature and martial arts, and his verbal skills are by no means lacking.
He chatted with Qin Jinye about current events and policies, smiling on the outside but cursing the old fox in his heart.
