Jiang Qingyue felt very embarrassed facing everyone's teasing.
For a moment, I didn't know how to answer.
Instead, Zhou Zhengting took the initiative to pull her and greeted the villagers one by one with a smile.
"Yes, I just came back. I was too busy during the Chinese New Year and never came back!"
"Yeah, I won't leave for now! I'll spend the New Year here."
"Okay, I'll come and wish you a happy new year!"
Seeing him responding one by one with ease, Jiang Qingyue glared at him unhappily after he walked away.
Zhou Zhengting smiled instead of getting angry, "Why are you glaring at me? I'm just trying to smooth things over for you because you're embarrassed."
"Chenchen, An'an, do you think I'm right?"
As he said that, Zhou Zhengting put Chenchen in his arms around his neck again.
He smiled and said, "Chenchen, is this high? Are you scared?"
Chenchen was extremely excited, "Gao Gao, don't be afraid."
Seeing that his son really liked riding high, Zhou Zhengting opened his arms, cheered, and started riding high.
An An saw it in Jiang Qingyue's arms and also pointed to ride Gao Gao.
Zhou Zhengting laughed loudly and said, "Chenchen, let me ride on you first. When I'm done playing, I'll let you ride on me, okay?"
Chenchen felt a little unsatisfied, but still nodded and agreed, and switched with his sister.
After An An went up, he was also amused and laughed.
The two children took turns riding on the Gaogao, going up and down all the way.
Jiang Qingyue followed behind and was stunned.
I couldn't help but admire him from the bottom of my heart.
I originally thought Zhou Zhengting had no experience in taking care of children, but after observing him for most of the day.
I found that he is quite good at coaxing children.
Be patient, ask for your children's opinions on everything, and treat both children equally.
This also made her feel a little relieved.
Wait for the four to return to the courtyard.
Zhou Zhengting looked at the old house he hadn't returned to for three years and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion.
Over the past three years, he has often dreamed of this place.
The world outside is developing so fast and everything is changing.
But this old house has always been the same as in his dream and has never changed.
But the conditions are indeed very simple.
It makes me realize that Jiang Qingyue spent her pregnancy, confinement, and preparation for exams here.
Zhou Zhengting couldn't help but feel distressed.
"Qingyue, I left you here alone before. Thank you for your hard work."
Jiang Qingyue lit up the kang and said with her eyes downcast, "Zhou Zhengting, let's talk."
"good."
As he spoke, Zhou Zhengting picked up the two children, took off his shoes and put them on the kang.
He took some toys and let the two children play with them.
Then he went to the kitchen to talk to Jiang Qingyue.
Jiang Qingyue thought for a moment and spoke first, "Zhou Zhengting, I was wrong about the child. I shouldn't have kept it from you for so long."
Zhou Zhengting looked at her anxiously, "Don't think like that. You did that because I left so suddenly. I don't blame you."
After that, Zhou Zhengting paused again, "I just want to know, if I don't return to Beijing later, are you planning to keep it a secret from me forever?"
Jiang Qingyue lowered her eyes and said nothing.
It is accepted by default.
Seeing this, Zhou Zhengting couldn't help but smile bitterly, "You don't want to tell me, are you afraid that I will pester you?"
Jiang Qingyue hesitated for a moment and chose to tell the truth, "To be honest, I'm afraid you'll come and snatch the children from me. The children are my life, and I can't live without them."
The reason I said this is that I wanted to tell Zhou Zhengting my bottom line.
Zhou Zhengting smiled bitterly. He was by Jiang Qingyue's side when the child was lost.
How could she not know how important the child is to her.
"Don't worry, I won't snatch the child from you. Besides, what right do I have to snatch it from you?"
"Qingyue, I don't dare to pray that you can forgive me immediately. I just want you to give me a chance to make it up to you three."
Jiang Qingyue's heart was slightly moved, but she still kept her rationality. "In fact, you don't need to make up for anything because of self-blame. After all, giving birth to the child was a decision I made alone, and I didn't ask for your opinion."
Zhou Zhengting smiled helplessly, "I came here not only because of guilt and self-blame, Qingyue, we have known each other for such a long time, you should know what I am thinking."
"Don't worry, I won't force you before you agree to accept me. I just hope you won't always keep me at a distance."
Seeing him looking at her with expectation and affection, Jiang Qingyue felt her heart being slightly warmed.
I quickly turned my eyes away and stopped looking at him.
"I'm going to go check on the two kids."
After calm was restored, Jiang Qingyue started to get back to business.
Instructing Zhou Zhengting one by one in detail -
"Here is the milk powder. You need to make it for them both before bed. I have written down the amount and method on the slip of paper."
"Be sure to brush your teeth after drinking milk, and wash your butt and feet with warm water before going to bed."
"Also, both children are used to listening to me tell them stories before going to bed."
Zhou Zhengting was listening carefully.
Jiang Qingyue herself was not confident. "Forget it, I'll finish it tonight before leaving. I'll come over early tomorrow morning. Just keep an eye on them at night. If they need to go to the toilet, take them with you."
Seeing her so flustered, Zhou Zhengting couldn't help but chuckle softly.
I originally wanted to say that I could try to do this, and I believed that I could do it well.
But I wanted her to stay a little longer.
Want to do this with her.
So he agreed again.
Jiang Qingyue knew that no one in her family liked Zhou Zhengting.
So I didn’t bother them with dinner, but insisted on making something simple at home.
I cooked sweet potato porridge, steamed steamed corn bread, and fried shredded potatoes and sauerkraut.
Afraid that the two children would not be used to the dish, I stewed two more bowls of egg custard.
"There's not much at home, so let's just make do with what we have. I'll go to the county to buy some tomorrow."
Zhou Zhengting took a look and felt that simple food and drink was also very warm.
However, both the children and she needed nutrition.
It is indeed necessary to make up for it.
"How about I go shopping with you tomorrow and take the two kids out for a stroll together?"
Jiang Qingyue frowned, "I think the weather tomorrow won't be very good, and it's cold outside, so let's leave the children at home."
Zhou Zhengting immediately changed his tone, "Okay, then let grandma help take care of it, and we can go together."
Jiang Qingyue paused, then agreed, "Okay."
When they were in Beijing, the two children were used to eating fine meals.
It was my first time eating steamed corn bread, especially the one mixed with corn flour, and I was not used to it.
An An frowned, took a bite, and spit it out, "Not good."
Before Jiang Qingyue could speak, Zhou Zhengting patiently coaxed her, "Dad will tear it into small pieces for you, soak it in egg custard, and eat it when it's soft, okay? It will taste good."
After saying that, he started tearing it apart.
Soak for a while.
An An scooped a spoonful half-believingly, not knowing whether it was because it was novel or because it was really delicious.
After taking a bite, An An smiled and said, "That's great."
