When He Xianqiu finished her work, it was time to get off work. She stretched, then packed up and went home.
When leaving the office, someone chatted with He Xianqiu, and He Xianqiu responded with a smile.
"He Zhiqing, why don't you go to the cafeteria to buy food? If you don't hurry up, all the delicious food will be snatched up."
He Xianqiu shook his head and said with a smile: "You guys go ahead, I'm in a hurry to go home."
Then someone laughed and teased the person who just spoke, "Chen Zhou must have prepared the meal for He Zhiqing by now, so why would He Zhiqing need to go to the cafeteria to get food?"
When that person heard this, she thought about it and felt that, yes, there was no need for He Zhiqing to go to the canteen to get food, as someone had already prepared it for her at home.
Everyone in the soap factory knew that Ji Chenzhou was the cook for He Xianqiu's family and he often cooked and waited for He Xianqiu to come home. No one knew about it at first, but later on when Ji Chenzhou often brought his children to the soap factory to bring lunch to He Xianqiu, they found out.
Everyone was shocked when they found out about this. The married aunt and the young wife were so envious of He Xianqiu that they went back and complained that none of their family members were as considerate as Ji Chenzhou, but their husbands were willing to cook for them every day. They said that Ji Chenzhou was henpecked, and then they were criticized by the aunt and the young wife.
Maybe they were speechless after being criticized, and with the comparison, some people would consciously help their wives with the work, which made the aunt and the young wife who had free time feel very comfortable.
It seems that they are not incapable of doing it. After comparison, they found that they were not as considerate to their wives as others, so they consciously helped with the work. Although they were still not as good as Ji Chenzhou, at least they did some work, which made the aunts and young wives satisfied.
After that, He Xianqiu talked to the aunts for a few more words and then went back home. The aunts were in a hurry to go to the canteen to get food. After all, the hair algae in the canteen were cheap and delicious. If they were any slower, there would be no meat or vegetables to eat. This was not acceptable because the children at home were all craving for meat and vegetables.
Seeing that it was still early, He Xianqiu took a shortcut home and soon she arrived home.
As soon as she walked into the yard, she smelled the fragrance of food, but she didn't see Ji Chenzhou and Zizi. He Xianqiu guessed that they must have gone to deliver food to Grandpa Zhong, so she went back to the house to clean up and wait for the father and son to come back for dinner.
Not long after, Ji Chenzhou and the child came back. He Xianqiu heard the child's voice in the house and walked out.
As soon as the child saw her, he immediately narrowed his eyes, smiled, and ran to He Xianqiu with his short legs, "Mom, you're back."
He Xianqiu bent down, touched his head, and then said with a smile: "Yes, mom is back. What did you do when mom was not at home?"
The child immediately puffed up his chest and said proudly: "I wrote the math problem my father assigned me, and I got 100 points. After that, I followed my father to bring food to my great grandfather."
Seeing the sparkling eyes of the child, He Xianqiu immediately praised: "Wow, you are amazing, you got 100 points in math, and you even went with your dad to bring food to your great grandfather, that's awesome."
When the child heard his mother praising him, he was so happy that his big eyes curved into crescents.
At this time, Ji Chenzhou spoke at the right time, "Okay, let's eat first, otherwise the food will get cold and not taste good. Today we have a lot of dishes that you like."
The mother and son nodded together, and then He Xianqiu took the child's chubby little hand and walked into the main room together. Then the family of three ate together.
At this time, the child has learned to eat with his own small bowl and spoon. His cheeks are bulging as he eats, and he eats very seriously. He Xianqiu and Ji Chenzhou add food to the child's bowl from time to time.
After eating for a while, the family of three finished their meal. He Xianqiu asked Ji Chenzhou to go and rest while she washed the dishes.
Although Ji Chenzhou often spoiled her and didn't let her do any work, He Xianqiu always felt that she should do her best to do something for her small family and not let Ji Chenzhou do everything.
Although Ji Chenzhou had no complaints and was even happy to do it, He Xianqiu still felt distressed. Although housework seemed simple, it would take time and energy if done by one person alone. If two people shared the burden together, it would be much easier.
So at this time Ji Chenzhou did not stop He Xianqiu, because He Xianqiu had already discussed this matter with him before, and since He Xianqiu insisted, Ji Chenzhou did not say anything else. After all, he knew that He Xianqiu felt sorry for him.
The little boy next to them watched his parents clean up the plates and bowls. He also used his little hands to help his parents clean up, with a smile on his chubby little face.
He Xianqiu and Ji Chenzhou saw that the children were also helping, and they did not stop them. After all, the children were willing to help, and this help would not hurt them, so it was best not to refuse, which would dampen the children's enthusiasm.
After that, after taking the bowl into the kitchen, He Xianqiu asked Ji Chenzhou to take the child to study. Ji Chenzhou nodded and took the child into the house to study. The child also obediently took Ji Chenzhou back to the house.
Not long after, He Xianqiu finished washing the dishes and went into the house. Then he saw the father and son studying hard. Ji Chenzhou was reading a history book, and the child was sitting on a stool, writing his name neatly with his little hands.
He Xianqiu walked closer to see how the child was writing. Although his handwriting was crooked, his attitude was correct. He wrote each word carefully, stroke by stroke, and one could clearly tell what the word was.
Seeing that the child was so serious, He Xianqiu did not disturb him. He found a book and began to read it seriously.
The family of three was doing their own things seriously. The room was quiet and occasionally the sound of turning pages of books could be heard.
Reading books at night and assigning some learning tasks to the children has become the norm and habit at home.
After that, after a long time, the child had finished writing and asked Ji Chenzhou to check his writing. He Xianqiu walked to the side of the father and son and listened to Ji Chenzhou's comments.
The child lowered his head, listened to his father carefully, and nodded from time to time.
Ji Chenzhou looked at the child's handwriting, commented carefully, and then praised generously: "Tangyuan's handwriting is very good, the handwriting is clear and neat, very impressive."
When the child heard his father's praise, his big eyes lit up, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and then he looked at He Xianqiu with expectant eyes.
He Xianqiu looked at the child's sparkling eyes, and she took a closer look. Finally, she said, "You are great, my dear. Every word you write is neat and tidy. You are amazing. You should work harder next time."
Seeing the child's happy expression, she said, "Okay, now let Daddy take you to take a bath, and Mommy will tell you a story later."
The child was very happy, and then said to He Xianqiu: "Mom, I want to listen to Tu Tu's dream."
Last time, mom was telling the story of little boy Tu Tu, but she hadn’t finished yet, so he wanted to listen more.
He Xianqiu nodded and said, "Okay, but now Daddy has to take you to take a bath, and then Mommy can tell you a bedtime story."
The child nodded obediently, and then immediately asked Ji Chenzhou to take him a bath. He couldn't wait to listen to his mother telling him a bedtime story.
After the children finished taking a bath, He Xianqiu and Ji Chenzhou took a bath one after another. Then the family of three finished bathing and lay on the bed. He Xianqiu then took out a storybook and told a story to the children.
He Xianqiu's voice was very gentle, and he told the story with emotion. The children listened attentively and with great interest. After a while, it was time to go to bed, and they couldn't help falling asleep.
Seeing that the child had fallen asleep, He Xianqiu put down the storybook and gave Ji Chenzhou a goodnight kiss. He also returned her a goodnight kiss, and then the couple fell asleep.
Morning.
In the morning, the child got up first. He rubbed his eyes, then called his parents to get up. However, he called He Xianqiu, but He Xianqiu didn't get up. Ji Chenzhou got up, took the child to change clothes, and then left the room.
The child held Ji Chenzhou's hand and followed him to the kitchen. Then he sat on a small stool, watching Ji Chenzhou make breakfast and handing something to Ji Chenzhou from time to time.
Not long after that, He Xianqiu woke up. After washing up, she went to the kitchen. Seeing that Ji Chenzhou had already prepared breakfast, she took it out.
The family of three was having breakfast, and then He Xianqiu talked about buying mechanical machines for the soap factory.
"Zhou Zhou, I'm going to the city to look at the machines today. After that, I have nothing to do today. I'll just take Tang Yuan with me to the city for a stroll."
Ji Chenzhou nodded: "Okay, let's go to the city to buy ingredients for the cake. Tangyuan's birthday is coming soon. Then we can take him to the mall and let him choose his own birthday present."
He Xianqiu took a sip of porridge and nodded in response: "Okay."
The little boy next to him was very happy when he knew that his parents were going to take him to the city to play and let him choose a birthday present. His father would also buy the ingredients for the cake.
Not long after, the family of three finished their breakfast and went to the city together on a truck that was delivering soap.
Because the truck was going to the city, it didn't take long for them to arrive in the city. As soon as they arrived in the city, He Xianqiu went straight to the machinery factory to see the machines.
Director Wu of the machinery factory knew that He Xianqiu was coming, and he specifically instructed the security guard at the gate to remember to call him if a female comrade named He Xianqiu came.
So as soon as He Xianqiu arrived at the machinery factory, the director of the factory immediately came out to greet her, and then took her to see the machines. Maybe knowing that there were children, he specially asked someone to bring some candies for the children.
When the child saw the candy, he didn't reach out for it directly. Instead, he looked at He Xianqiu and Ji Chenzhou. Only after He Xianqiu nodded did he happily take the candy and thank them in a baby voice.
Director Wu saw that the child was good-looking, sensible and polite at such a young age, and he felt very touched. He wondered why his grandson was not as sensible as other children.
Because the machine was in a factory building which was quite far away, Ji Chenzhou carried the child over. The child was eating candy in his mouth, looking around with his big eyes, and his little fleshy hands were tightly around Ji Chenzhou's neck.
After a while, they arrived at the factory. Director Wu began to introduce the two machines that the soap factory needed, explaining their functions and precautions. He Xianqiu listened attentively, and Li Yangping, who followed along, also took notes.
In order to let the soap factory know that the quality of the machines was up to standard and there were no problems, Director Wu also specially asked a master from a machinery factory to operate the two machines.
Seeing that the machine had no faults and no quality issues, He Xianqiu readily signed the contract with Director Wu and went to the bank to pay the balance.
Director Wu was looking at the contract in his hand, as well as the final payment. He was extremely happy. This was a large order, with the two machines costing more than 30,000 yuan in total.
Afterwards, he discussed with He Xianqiu the time for delivering the machine. He Xianqiu asked Li Yangping to come together to coordinate with the machinery factory at that time and deliver the machine to Qinggang Brigade together.
Then Director Wu invited He Xianqiu and others to dinner. He Xianqiu wanted to keep in touch with the machinery factory in the future, so he didn't refuse. Then several people went to a state-owned restaurant for a meal.
After lunch, He Xianqiu and his group said goodbye to Director Wu.
Now that the mission to enter the city has been completed, He Xianqiu let Li Yangping spend the rest of the time on his own and go to the machinery factory later. Li Yangping nodded and said goodbye to He Xianqiu and his family of three.
After Li Yangping left, only the three of them were left. He Xianqiu and Ji Chenzhou took the children to the mall to buy things.
The child also knows that his parents brought him to the mall to buy birthday presents, so he is looking forward to it. His parents told him that he can choose two things.
After arriving at the mall, He Xianqiu and Ji Chenzhou took the children to the toy shop and let the children choose by themselves.
The child chose the glass ball, and then he was torn between the match barn and the toy car. But after thinking it over, he decided that he wanted these two toys more and gave up the glass ball.
After the children finished choosing, He Xianqiu paid for the tickets, and then the family of three went shopping elsewhere.
The shopping mall in the city is very large and has a wide variety of products. He Xianqiu bought some candies and some cloth, planning to find someone to help make clothes and pants, and then he also bought other things.
All together, it filled a basket. Fortunately, we took a truck back, otherwise the basket would have been quite heavy.
After shopping in the mall for a while, the family of three felt hungry, so they went to a state-owned restaurant for dinner. After dinner, the family of three took a truck back home.
The little guy was already exhausted by now, and soon fell asleep in the car, sleeping in Ji Chenzhou's arms with a peaceful look on his face. After they got home, He Xianqiu and Ji Chenzhou did not wake him up and let him continue to sleep.
Maybe the child fell asleep, so He Xianqiu and Ji Chenzhou were alone and had a date in the yard.
Ji Chenzhou didn't have a child around him, so he stopped acting pretentiously and clung to He Xianqiu. Since they had a child, they rarely had the chance to be alone.
This was a rare opportunity, so the two of them stuck together and secretly ate things that children were not allowed to eat.
