Chapter 59 Chapter 59 The Bright-Eyed Mother
Everyone was having a good time in the single room, and Zhu Xinghua, who was staying in a six-person room, was walking around the ward.
Finally, he couldn't help but call Captain Lu again.
The caller heard he was from the PLA Hospital and told him, "Captain Lu has gone to the PLA Hospital."
Zhu Xinghua thanked him profusely and was ecstatic after hanging up the phone.
Back in the ward, he talked about how good his relationship was with Captain Lu of the local 014th Independent Division, and how Captain Lu rushed over to visit them as soon as he received the call.
As he spoke, he stood straight with his hands behind his back, as if he was a military leader possessed by someone in the ward to check on him.
The five families in the same ward were not military families like him; this was a ward for non-military families. They didn't know Zhu Xinghua's background, so they all looked at him with a higher regard.
There was a woman in the ward who was confinement after childbirth, and she was leaning against the window, which was tightly shut. Zhu Xinghua instructed someone to open it, and the other person, at least with some conscience, only opened it a crack.
Although a woman in confinement may feel angry, her family can draw the curtains and surround her inside so that she doesn't have to be exposed to the draft.
Zhu Xinghua then directed the other family members to tidy up the ward, saying, "Military leaders like clean and tidy rooms. Look at how messy you are! Clean it up quickly."
The others had never seen such a high-ranking officer as the battalion commander. Even the soldiers with four pockets on the street were surprised to see him. They swallowed their anger and packed up their things.
Zhu Xinghua came to his daughter-in-law's bedside again. He looked down at her belly and said lovingly, "My grandson is so lucky to have me as his grandfather."
Zhu Xinghua's daughter-in-law had blank eyes and was staring out the window, not wanting to talk to him at all.
Zhu Xinghua's wife, on the other hand, began to busily prepare tea for the distinguished guest. Sometimes she complained that the water in the thermos was not warm enough, and sometimes she complained that the water room was too far away. She thought it would be so much more convenient if they could stay in a single room, and all the problems would be solved.
Zhu Xinghua strolled out to the corridor and happened to see Zhao Wuhe holding her grandson and talking to a nurse in the corridor.
The nurse weighed the baby and asked her, "Have you chosen a name for your grandson? If you have, I'll register it. If not, you can go back and think of it later."
Zhao Wuhe said, "Let's wait until his mother wakes up. She makes the final decision about the child. If she doesn't agree, it won't matter how good the name is."
The nurse nodded and said, "Yes, we all need to respect each other. Especially women who have just given birth are very sensitive and fragile, so we must take good care of them."
Zhao Wuhe said, "Don't worry, nurse. Our family is the most respectful of all."
No one spoke to Zhu Xinghua. Zhu Xinghua walked to Zhao Wuhe and looked at the beautiful baby. He wanted to reach out and tease him, but Zhao Wuhe twisted her arms and dodged him.
The old man is smelly and still wants to touch her grandson, bah.
Zhu Xinghua waved his hands, then put them behind his back. He circled Zhao Wuhe, his eyes brimming with envy at his beautiful, well-behaved, chubby grandson. Wasn't this exactly like what he'd dreamed of, like the golden boy in a painting descending to earth, clutching a koi carp?
"I see your daughter-in-law is recovering well, right? She didn't suffer too much during childbirth. Will she be able to be discharged from the hospital tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?"
Zhao Wuhe understood what he meant. Fortunately, Gu Qingzhou had warned her that Captain Lu would never give someone like Zhu Xinghua the opportunity to bully others. She said with a forced smile, "Director Wang said we have to stay for three days. If we feel uncomfortable later, we can stay longer."
"You can live here even if you're not feeling well? I think your family is spoiling their daughter-in-law too much."
Zhu Xinghua leaned against the nurse's station, unfazed by the nurse's glare. He said with a grin, "But having a grandson is indeed a great achievement for the family. If you ask me, you should just be happy for a few days."
Zhao Wuhe glanced at him and thought that this man might be mentally ill. She deliberately asked, "How is your daughter-in-law at home?"
Zhu Xinghua said, "Well, my son spoils her. Otherwise, she wouldn't have secretly run off to Xinghai to look for her parents. She's from the countryside, and her parents are from the countryside too. How can the conditions here be as good as our provincial capital? If she goes back to her parents, at most she'll give birth on the kang, which won't be as good as the conditions in a hospital. Hospitals are expensive, but after all, we're a well-off family, right? A midwife at her parents' home costs ten yuan for a boy and five for a girl. It's still better to have a safe and hygienic birth in a hospital."
Zhao Wuhe had never met the other woman's family, but she was smart enough not to interfere in other people's family affairs. She simply said, "If you're really good to your daughter-in-law, you won't have to watch her run away even if you hit her. As elderly people, being good to others is also a good deed for ourselves. Taking advantage of your age is not advisable; you'll be called an old man behind your back."
"Hey, sister, are you scolding me?"
Zhu Xinghua raised his drooping eyelids, patted his cadre uniform, and said, "You knew my distant nephew is coming to visit me later. He's a military representative at the state-owned No. 2 Textile Company. He knew my daughter-in-law was going to give birth here, so he came to visit. I'll have him help me find out what kind of relationship you have that you're occupying our single room."
There was a young nurse who had just arrived at the nurses' station. Upon hearing this, she said in surprise, "Why are you occupying your single room? I have a—"
Zhu Xinghua made a "hush" gesture and said, "I know. That person is Director Wang's relative, right?"
The young nurse was speechless. In addition to the first commander and the first political commissar of the 014th unit, there were three regimental commanders.
Captain Gu is a prominent figure, so how could he be called a relative? There's a huge gap between the local government and the military! PLA hospitals are designed to serve the troops, so they deserve all the benefits they receive. Why is he being bullied by some old man?
She glanced at Zhao Wuhe, but Zhao Wuhe didn't react much. She nodded her grandson and wanted to go back.
Seeing Zhao Wuhe holding her grandson and about to go back, Zhu Xinghua pressed him, "Are you really not moving? If you get kicked out, you'll lose all your dignity. If I were you, I'd definitely be discharged from the hospital."
"We were also moved in according to the nurse's instructions. You asked us to move, so we moved. Why?"
Zhao Wuhe said, "I'm not afraid if you try to scare me with the battalion commander. Don't regret it later. It's not too late for you to apologize now."
Zhu Xinghua sneered and said, "Who wants to apologize to you? My distant nephew is a military representative!"
"Okay!" Zhao Wuhe returned to the single room without looking back. Seeing that Qingmei had woken up, she suppressed her temper and handed her grandson to Qingmei.
Qingmei was a first-time mother and was somewhat shy. She would only feed her child after the curtains were drawn. Even Gu Qingzhou was forced to stand guard outside the curtains.
Zhao Wuhe simply took Zhao Xiaoxing for a walk around the hospital to see if there was anything good she could find to entertain her beloved daughter-in-law. Xiaoyan went to the bathroom to wash the baby's clothes.
After about half an hour, Zhu Xinghua could no longer wait in the ward and went downstairs to personally welcome Captain Lu.
Zhao Wuhe and Zhao Xiaoxing just came back carrying some things. They saw him standing on tiptoe at the door downstairs of the ward, looking out, with mocking expressions on their faces.
As they walked up the steps, a jeep came up behind them.
Battalion Commander Lu Qianghua got out of the jeep. He had sharp eyes and was strong and powerful.
Zhu Xinghua excitedly said to Zhao Wuhe, "Look, here comes our backers. Hurry up and pack up and move out."
After saying this, without waiting for Zhao Wuhe to speak, he trotted towards Captain Lu.
He was only a step away from Captain Lu and felt the inherent sense of oppression that comes with being a soldier. As a military representative, Lu Qianghua's eyes were firm and powerful.
Zhu Xinghua looked at him affectionately and stretched out his hands to shake hands, but Lu Qianghua passed by him without even glancing at him.
Zhu Xinghua raised his arms, the flattering smile on his face still there, and now he felt extremely embarrassed.
Zhao Wuhe and Zhao Xiaoxing burst into laughter. They had expected such a good show to happen.
Lu Qianghua hurried into the ward, his mind preoccupied with how he would respond to the briefing he would give his superior. He didn't even notice Zhu Xinghua was there to greet him. Besides, he didn't even know him.
After Lu Qianghua entered the building, Zhu Xinghua seemed to hear someone laughing upstairs.
He looked up and saw Qingmei and his wife standing on the left side of the second-floor window, and several family members from the six-person room crowded on the right. Even Director Wang opened the window to take in the excitement.
Zhu Xinghua couldn't bear to be the butt of ridicule, thinking that perhaps Captain Lu hadn't recognized him immediately. After all, they had no working experience together at the factory, so it was understandable that he hadn't recognized him. But the fact that he was here was more important than anything else.
He hurried up the stairs, and another young soldier came beside him.
Zhu Xinghua perked up immediately. Seeing the man carrying bananas and milk powder, he quickly said with a smile, "You're here, why are you still carrying things?"
He thought it was a gift for his daughter-in-law, and just as he was about to take it, the young soldier glared at him. After glaring at Zhu Xinghua, the young soldier continued walking forward, muttering, "Why is there still someone trying to grab something? They must have recognized the wrong person."
Zhu Xinghua called out to him, "Young comrade, please walk slower. I can't keep up."
The young soldier looked back puzzledly, carrying his things: "What does it have to do with me if you can't keep up?"
Zhu Xinghua choked and said, "Aren't you here to see my daughter-in-law?"
The young soldier stopped dead in his tracks and said, "You're Commander Gu? No, that's not possible. With your shifty eyes, who are you? Why are you following me?"
When Zhu Xinghua heard the young soldier's words, he thought to himself that he didn't see anyone on the floor who could be the commander. He had no choice but to explain to the young soldier: "I called your leader. Isn't he here to visit someone?"
The young soldier looked at him doubtfully: "It depends on the person, but I don't think it's you."
After saying that, the little soldier walked into the building and strode upstairs.
There were two steps on the second floor, and the little soldier went up directly, two at a time.
Zhu Xinghua followed him down the stairs, straining his neck and saying, "Why can't you just come to visit me? If not to visit me, what are you doing here?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the young soldier stopped immediately without looking around, looked at the person across the corridor, and suddenly saluted.
At the same time, Lu Qianghua, who had just arrived, also saluted and said to Gu Qingzhou, who was waiting at the door: "Captain Gu, Lu Qianghua from the 3rd Battalion, 3rd Regiment, 014th Division, reports to you!"
Zhu Xinghua thought there was something wrong with his ears.
Captain Gu?
He is so young and is still being ordered around by his wife, yet he is actually a regiment leader?
Gu Qingzhou was still standing, supporting Qingmei. He was not wearing his military uniform, but his casual attire. It was inconvenient for him to return the greeting, so he nodded to them as a greeting and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Please wait for me for a moment."
Gu Qingzhou planned to send his young wife to a single room, but when he saw her bright eyes, he simply brought a bench from the house and placed it at the door, letting his young wife hold the child and watch the fun at the door.
Lu Qianghua's specific work details have been submitted in written form to Gu Qingzhou's desk, and the rest will be handled verbally.
After reporting his work, Lu Qianghua breathed a sigh of relief.
The commander in front of him, Gu, was younger than him, but he was a master at managing his work. He always felt nervous when reporting to him. He had even scolded some military representatives who had given him reports, saying they were careless and had been exploited by opportunists.
Qingmei was sitting on the bench, and Zhu Xinghua's expression was changing every second not far away.
There were people from the same ward who had come out to watch the fun, their mouths opening and closing, no one knew what they were saying. Anyway, Zhu Xinghua was almost bowing his head to his chest.
Qingmei felt that she was at a disadvantage because she was sitting at the back of the corridor and could not hear anyone bullying her!
Lu Qianghua sensed Zhu Xinghua's embarrassed gaze, and the young soldier beside him reported in a moderately loud voice, "This old comrade said he was your distant uncle. He said you came here to visit him."
Lu Qianghua then remembered that a stranger had left a message for him in the duty room. If someone didn't know, they might have thought they were really relatives.
What if he was allowed to get out and used his background to falsely connect people and approve documents? He would lose his reputation, and if word got to 014, Captain Gu would skin him alive.
Captain Gu didn't say anything, obviously letting him handle it himself.
When Lu Qianghua came to Zhu Xinghua, he felt that he looked familiar, but he didn't know him at all.
He whispered, "Why are you pretending to be my relative? I do have a third uncle, but he passed away last year. What are you planning?"
Zhu Xinghua spoke directly to the military representative for the first time. He placed his hands respectfully in front of his belt, crouched, and stammered, "I just wanted to change the hospital room for my daughter-in-law. How dare I pretend to be your third uncle? We are truly related. According to my son's cousin's second cousin..."
Lu Qianghua gestured to stop him from continuing and turned to look at the nurses' station. He didn't know why it was so busy; the nurses were all out working.
There were also many people standing in the corridor, from one end to the other, some pregnant, some newly born, some men and women, young and old, all pretending to take a stroll and standing in the corridor.
Especially Captain Gu's wife, who was sitting at the door of the single room, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes sparkling. When she saw him glance over, she lowered her head and pretended to wipe the saliva off the baby.
Captain Lu: “…”
He looked up and asked the head nurse, "Comrade, may I ask if Zhu Xinghua has used his connections to receive special care?"
The head nurse had long been fed up with Zhu Xinghua, who was always bossing people around and doing nothing. Family members in the same ward had complained numerous times, saying, "He wanted to borrow money but couldn't."
Lu Qianghua said, "Please tell me in detail. I must investigate thoroughly."
He waved his hand, and the young soldier came over quickly and took out a small notebook to record the head nurse's words.
Gu Qingzhou also came to listen openly.
The head nurse cleared her throat and said, "He misunderstood that Captain Gu's family came from an ordinary citizen and wanted Captain Gu's wife to move out and live in the six-person room, freeing up the single room for their family. He also said he was your distant uncle. Is that true? Many people in our ward say he's taking money from cadres, that he has strong class ideologies, and that he's bullying others by taking advantage of his power. I think you should investigate further."
At this time, Director Wang came out and said at the right time: "He also spread rumors, saying that Captain Gu is my relative." Director Wang smiled and said: "Come on, what does this have to do with each other?"
Lu Qianghua turned to explain to Gu Qingzhou. Gu Qingzhou knew that he was forced into a relationship, so he didn't blame him. He said teasingly, "Captain Lu, do you think I should move or not?"
"Captain Gu, please stop joking with me." Battalion Commander Lu suppressed his temper. "We've all learned what kind of person Comrade Qingmei is. How can we let her suffer any injustice? This matter was ultimately caused by me, and I will handle it properly."
At this time, a young nurse at the nurses' station said, "He also tried to bribe Director Wang, but Director Wang refused to accept the red envelope. I can testify to this."
Zhu Xinghua's wife stood at the door, her face pale. The teacup in her hand had already turned warm. She had just wanted to give it to Captain Lu so that he could come into the ward and chat slowly.
She had never imagined that the two young men had such a background and were actually the military representative's immediate superiors. She was extremely upset and knew that her husband had gotten into great trouble.
Zhu Xinghua glanced around and saw that many people were laughing at him. He felt really embarrassed to have all his boasts blown up in public.
He wanted to go up and apologize to Gu Qingzhou, but Captain Lu looked at him with eyes that seemed to want to eat him, and the blood in his body seemed to freeze.
He remembered Director Wang's words, "There are always people better than you," telling him not to look down on others. He also thought about the way Zhao Wuhe had looked at him that morning. She had clearly known there was going to be a slap in the face, waiting for him to make a fool of himself.
He couldn't help shaking all over, and his throat was dry and burning.
Lu Qianghua walked up to Zhu Xinghua and said in a calm voice, "Come with me."
"...Okay...Okay." Zhu Xinghua just took a step forward and found that his legs and feet had lost strength. He held on to the wall and kept up little by little.
Director Wang still had Qingmei's information in her hand. Seeing Captain Lu go to find Zhu Xinghua, she came to Gu Qingzhou and said, "Captain Gu, look, these are the physical indicators 24 hours after giving birth."
Director Wang handed the information to Gu Qingzhou and said, "All the indicators are qualified, there is no anemia. The milk/water situation is also good. Stay in the hospital for observation for another 48 hours. If there is no problem, you can be discharged."
"Thank you, Director Wang." Gu Qingzhou said with a relieved smile, "My wife has lived up to everyone's care for her. Every bite counts, and no nutritional supplements are wasted."
When Director Wang and the nurses heard this, they knew that Gu Qingzhou was not angry, and they all laughed.
Qingmei didn't listen to what they were saying, she was secretly looking at Zhu Xinghua's wife.
Zhu Xinghua was taken to an empty ward by Captain Lu for interrogation. His wife sat on the ground with blank eyes, mumbling incomprehensible words.
The nurse came over to help her up. She turned back into the ward and yelled at her daughter-in-law, who hadn't said a word: "If it weren't for you, your father-in-law would have lost such a big person? You are a troublemaker, you are a jinx!"
The nurse angrily said, "What does your old man's troubles have to do with the mother?"
Zhu Xinghua's wife said, "If she doesn't give me a grandson today, I'll peel off her face and wear it as an insole!"
Zhu Xinghua's daughter-in-law was still lying on the hospital bed, as if she was accustomed to her verbal abuse.
The nurse dragged Zhu Xinghua's wife out to the corridor and pointed at her nose, saying, "If you start yelling here, get out right now! This is a PLA hospital, not your home."
Qingmei tilted her head to listen to the noise next door. Suddenly she saw someone coming out. She quickly pretended not to look and rocked her son in her arms.
Gu Qingzhou found it funny, and not wanting her to be dirty with those dirty words, he bent down and whispered in her ear, "What did you hear?"
Qingmei raised her head and said, "What will Zhu Xinghua do? Captain Lu will have to report this to the Second Textile Factory, right?"
Gu Qingzhou said: "He can't escape the criticism, and his position as director will be in jeopardy."
Qingmei was speechless.
Gu Qingzhou explained, "The position of military representative is a very serious one, and it carries real power. If everyone were to stir up trouble like Zhu Xinghua, it would be difficult to handle. Second Textiles has merged a number of factories this year, and Captain Lu's work there hasn't been going smoothly. Some of the older officers, seeing his youth, are always trying to curb his prestige. Now that a suitable candidate has been presented to him, Captain Lu will definitely make an example of someone to deter those who rely on their seniority."
Qingmei said, "His daughter-in-law is about to give birth. Is it okay at this critical moment?"
Gu Qingzhou lowered his voice and said, "In my opinion, his daughter-in-law may not be unhappy."
Qingmei thought about it and felt that Gu Qingzhou was right.
The daughter-in-law ran away from her husband's family and wanted to go back to her own family to give birth, which shows that she is not comfortable staying in her husband's family. There are some high-ranking families and some low-ranking families on both sides. If the high-ranking family had higher education, it would be easier to deal with. Judging from the behavior of Zhu Xinghua and his wife, I am afraid that they are even more domineering at home.
Qingmei sighed softly.
She must cherish the fact that she has met a family like Gu Qingzhou and Zhao Wuhe.
The baby in her arms suddenly kicked his legs. Before Qingmei could react, Gu Qingzhou picked up his son with his big hands and walked into the house, shouting, "Put on a diaper."
Zhao Xiaoxing was dozing off on the bed when she woke up instantly: "Here I come!"
Qingmei rubbed her nose and felt that she still had a lot to learn on her way to becoming a mother.
She stood up to leave when she heard someone calling her in the corridor. She looked over and saw that it was Aunt Qin, Xiaojuan and others who came to visit her.
When they saw Qingmei jumping around, they knew she was not suffering and were happy for her.
Entering the private room, Aunt Qin and the others carefully inquired about Qingmei and the child's condition, expressing their great concern for Qingmei. Knowing that many people wanted a daughter, they burst into laughter when they saw that he had a son.
Gu Qingzhou was embarrassed and didn't say anything, but silently poured them some soda.
"Wow, our treatment is really good, and we even get soda to drink."
Gu Qingzhou said to one of the aunts: "If you don't drink, the mother of the child will do whatever she can secretly do."
Qingmei was stunned for a moment when she was called "child's mother", then she realized that she was being called. Seeing Gu Qingzhou pursed his lips and smiled secretly, she also called out: "Child's father, don't forget to rub the diaper you just changed."
Aunt Qin said, "Oh, I didn't know that little Gu could rub his diapers? I rubbed his diapers when he was a kid. He's such a bad boy. He needs a clean diaper if he pees a little bit. If you don't change his diaper, he'll cry so hard that it'll bring down the city walls. I just changed your diaper and he peed on it again. I get angry every time I think about it now."
Gu Qingzhou was humiliated when his elders talked about the past.
In particular, Ms. Zhao Wuhe stood up and gestured from the east side of the room to the west, saying, "Then you didn't see it. The yard, from east to west and from south to north, is full of his diapers."
Qingmei listened with great interest, and asked from time to time: "Did you make noise when you were a child?"
Zhao Wuhe said, "He's such a pain in the ass. You have to hold him in your arms while walking. Don't even think about putting him down. If you stop, he'll wail."
Qingmei lowered her head and kissed her son, then looked at his eyelashes, which were like a palm-leaf fan, and said with emotion, "Baby, thank you so much, you are not annoying at all."
Zhao Wuhe said to Aunt Qin and the others with a smile, "We've all grown old in the blink of an eye. Luckily, I can still walk and help my daughter hug her grandson."
Aunt Qin and several other aunts reminisced about the glorious past with Zhao Wuhe.
Xiaojuan slid over to Qingmei and took a good look at her baby. "His eyelashes are longer than mine. He's sure to be a handsome boy when he grows up. He has fair skin too. Your son will take after you."
Qingmei said, "They say boys take after their mothers and girls after their fathers. It seems to make sense."
Xiaojuan said, "Why don't I see grandma?"
Qingmei said, "I have a slight cold. I'm afraid I can infect us. I'll come back in a few days."
Xiaojuan nodded, wanting to touch the little hand but not daring to. Qingmei lifted the little hand and held it in front of her and said, "It's like a little steamed bun, it's okay to touch it casually."
Xiaojuan really loves children, and she can't wait to hold Qingmei's baby and kiss it a few times. However, when she was with Qingmei during her pregnancy, she learned from pregnant women that babies have low immunity and should not be touched casually, and it is best not to kiss them.
They were talking in the ward when suddenly there was a noise coming from next door.
Qingmei went to the door and found that it was Zhu Xinghua's daughter-in-law next door who was about to give birth.
They lived next door to each other, and this was the first time she had seen each other. She looked very slender with thin limbs and a thin, large belly, which was quite scary.
I don’t know if it was because she was stimulated by her father-in-law and mother-in-law, but she howled particularly miserably, calling a man’s name, who should be her husband who was on a business trip and didn’t have time to come back.
A pregnant woman in the six-person room secretly complained to Qingmei, "I heard Chang Xiaoqing was forced to cut hair for money at home even though she was nine months pregnant. She was too tired to bear it and wanted to go back to her parents' home, but she didn't make it. It's really pitiful. Her parents don't even know she's here. What if something happens to her? Sigh."
As a mother herself, Qingmei knew all too well how uncertain she felt at this critical moment. She remembered that Zhao Xiaoxing had given her some chocolate, so she scrambled over to retrieve it and then shoved it into her hand.
Chang Xiaoqing seemed to have turned all the grievances she had suffered during her pregnancy into roars, one after another, shrill and terrifying.
The women in labor on both sides of the corridor all had grim expressions on their faces. They were taken back by their families and the doors were closed tightly.
However, Chang Xiaoqing's voice was extremely penetrating, and a wooden door could not block her volume at all.
Qingmei returned to the room with her neck hunched. This was the closest to the delivery room, so she could hear it most clearly.
Gu Qingzhou asked for two balls of cotton and handed them to Qingmei. Qingmei shook her head and looked down at her son who was still sleeping. She wondered if the child was deaf. How could he not wake up even when being called out from outside?
Gu Qingzhou called out "Pan Pan" and "Pan Pan" for a long time, but his son didn't respond. The father got anxious and went out to find Director Wang.
As expected, Qingmei remembered the name he had given her and whispered to her son, "Zhaomei?"
The baby reacted immediately, reaching out to grab Qingmei's fingers and babbling.
Qingmei looked at Gu Qingzhou with resentment.
Zhao Wuhe was looking for his weapon all over the floor, wanting to beat Gu Qingzhou to death.
When a father and son meet for the first time, why not say something else but call out "Zhao Mei"?!
The other people in the ward couldn't help laughing. Aunt Qin thought about it and criticized Gu Qingzhou, telling him not to favor girls over boys and that this name must not be registered in the household registration book.
Gu Qingzhou faced everyone's criticism with frustration, but with a good attitude. He said that he would take good care of his son and give the child a good name.
After Aunt Qin and the others who had visited had almost left, Xiaojuan stayed to play with the child more.
She really likes children, but she doesn't dare to touch them casually.
Xiaojuan played with the children for a while under Qingmei's guidance. Zhao Xiaoxing suddenly asked her, "By the way, I haven't seen you these past few days. Did you get the notice?"
