Lin Xiaoxiao glanced at the letter again. "They'll arrive the day after tomorrow. Don't you have to go to work the day after tomorrow? I can pick them up."
Qin Yu nodded deeply. Lin Xiaoxiao could drive, and if all else failed, there were her uncle and in-laws' bodyguards.
Two days later.
Beijing Railway Station.
Lin Xiaoxiao arrived an hour early and waited a long time before she saw Sun Yuan, who looked a bit more plump and was carrying a shoulder bag.
Qiu Hongxing was also by her side. More than two years had passed, and Qiu Hongxing had risen from a lowly security guard to a team leader. He was down-to-earth and a good match for Sun Yuan.
Qiu Hongxing carried large and small bags in one hand and held her one-year-old daughter Dou Dou in the other.
"Yuanyuan, over here." Lin Xiaoxiao waved as she saw them looking around in the crowd.
When Sun Yuan saw Lin Xiaoxiao, she rushed over with a shout, hugged her tightly, and jumped up and down excitedly, "Xiaoxiao, I've finally come to Beijing to see you, oh... I'm so happy."
His loud and boisterous personality hasn't changed.
Lin Xiaoxiao hugged her. "There are too many people at the train station. Come on, I'll take you to eat first."
Train stations aren't the best place for reminiscing, so Lin Xiaoxiao took the two adults and one child to eat Peking duck, a famous restaurant in Beijing. They had booked a private room in advance, which was relatively quiet.
Sun Yuan leaned against Lin Xiaoxiao, excitedly hugging her arm, "I told you I would definitely come to find you!"
Lin Xiaoxiao pinched her round face and laughed, "I believe you. I've been wondering for the past two years why you haven't come yet, and whether you've forgotten about me."
Sun Yuan picked up her daughter Dou Dou, who was clinging to her legs and constantly saying "mamam".
"It's all because of this little one. I suffered a lot to give birth to her."
"Thank goodness it's a girl. If it were a son, I would be heartbroken."
Sun Yuan prefers daughters and kept saying she wanted to have a daughter when she was pregnant.
Fortunately, I got what I wanted in the end.
Lin Xiaoxiao hugged Dou Dou, whose soft little body was like a lump of cotton, making people's hearts melt. "My An An isn't much older than Dou Dou, the two children can play together."
“Great!” Sun Yuan nodded happily. “I haven’t met your child yet.”
Lin Xiaoxiao asked, "How many days are you planning to stay in Beijing this time?"
Sun Yuan looked at Qiu Hongxing, who hurriedly said, "It's Mom's birthday on the tenth, so I have to go back by the eighth at the latest."
Having received the exact time, Sun Yuan said, "Today is the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, so we can only play for four days."
You can do a lot of things in four days.
Lin Xiaoxiao said, "Don't worry, I'll definitely take you guys to have a blast."
Sun Yuan and Qiu Hongxing were eating roast duck for the first time. After Lin Xiaoxiao ate a little, she helped them hold Dou Dou, took out a teething stick from her bag, and let her hold it and chew on it.
The little girl is a spitting image of Sun Yuan, with a round face, big eyes, and two little pigtails; she's incredibly cute.
Lin Xiaoxiao was quite fond of it.
"Xiaoxiao, why don't you take us to the guesthouse? There's no reason for us to stay at your house." After dinner, Lin Xiaoxiao drove them home, and Sun Yuan felt a little embarrassed.
"Are you being so polite with me?" Lin Xiaoxiao smiled. "It's inconvenient for you to stay in a guesthouse with your child. You have plenty of rooms at home, so Dou Dou can play with my An An."
Hearing her say that, Sun Yuan and Qiu Hongxing could only smile and thank her.
The two didn't quite believe Lin Xiaoxiao's claim that there were many rooms, assuming that Lin Xiaoxiao was just saying this to invite them to stay at her home.
When they arrived at the place and saw such a large courtyard house in front of them, Sun Yuan's jaw almost dropped to the ground.
"Little...Little, this...this is your home?" she asked incredulously.
Lin Xiaoxiao pushed open the door. "Yes, come in."
Sun Yuan's mouth was agape the whole time. "Wow, such a big yard! Xiao Xiao, you've struck it rich!"
Qiu Hongxing is a rather introverted person and didn't act that exaggeratedly.
But you could still see the shock in his eyes.
Lin Xiaoxiao led them to put their luggage in the tidied room, and then took them to the living room to have tea and snacks.
"Mommy~"
The group had barely sat down when An'an's voice came from outside the door.
Lin Xiaoxiao got up, and Wen Shiyu led An'an in. When An'an saw his mother, he rushed over to her anxiously. After the mother and son cuddled together for a while, An'an realized that there was a younger sister in the family.
Nestled in Lin Xiaoxiao's arms, she blinked at Dou Dou.
"younger sister."
Lin Xiaoxiao rubbed his little face and put him down. "Yes, this is Auntie and Uncle's little sister."
Then teach An'an to greet people.
After calling An'an's name, Lin Xiaoxiao patted his little bottom and said, "Take your little sister to play with your toys."
An'an is a hidden little cow.
I walked over, took DouDou's hand, and led her to play with her toys.
Wen Shiyu brought An'an over, said goodbye to Sun Yuan and the other person, and then went back to the next room.
"My goodness, Xiaoxiao, is this your mother?" After Wen Shiyu's figure disappeared from everyone's sight, Sun Yuan exclaimed exaggeratedly, "She's so beautiful."
The key is that she looks quite young; someone who didn't know her would think she was only in her thirties.
Lin Xiaoxiao nodded, "Yes, it's my mom. She lives next door to my dad and often helps me take care of my child."
Speaking of Lin Xiaoxiao, one can't help but sigh that having parents to help out is truly a very fortunate thing.
Sun Yuan sighed, "I went back to work after my postpartum confinement period. My parents usually take care of Dou Dou, and my in-laws... sigh..."
Sun Yuan has an older brother who is married and has children.
Normally, her parents would stay at her brother's house to take care of their grandson. When she was pregnant and giving birth, none of her in-laws came to help. Her parents had no choice but to come and take care of her and help her with the baby, despite her sister-in-law's displeasure.
Fortunately, Qiu Hongxing was a good person and gave her parents money every month.
Otherwise, her sister-in-law would say some really nasty things behind her back.
Lin Xiaoxiao said, "Dou Dou is one year old now, she'll be easier to take care of gradually."
Neither parents nor in-laws have an obligation to help them take care of the child. But no matter what the relationship is, it's a give-and-take situation. If you lend a hand when I'm overwhelmed and share the burden of raising the child, then I will remember the little things in your life more often in the future.
But Sun Yuan's parents-in-law are not normal people.
Qiu Hongxing has older brothers and sisters. The elderly couple lived with their eldest son. When Sun Yuan was pregnant, she discussed with Qiu Hongxing about having the elderly couple come and help take care of their granddaughter. They were sure they would be treated well. However, the elderly couple complained that Sun Yuan had given birth to a girl, and suddenly they didn't agree to the arrangement, saying they would stay in their hometown to take care of their grandson.
If that were all, it would be fine, since the elderly couple has no obligation to take care of their children.
Who knew that Qiu Hongxing's older brother wanted to demolish the old house in his hometown and rebuild it with bricks, but he was short of money and asked Qiu Hongxing to lend him 1,000 yuan. This was not a small amount of money, so Qiu Hongxing did not agree and only said that he would go back and discuss it with Sun Yuan.
Sun Yuan was naturally unhappy. She didn't know what kind of person Qiu Hongxing's older brother was, but she knew what kind of person Qiu Hongxing's sister-in-law was.
Lending money out is like throwing a meat bun to a dog—it's gone forever.
