The sound she just heard was the sound of Fu Linzhou flipping through the pages of a book. The two brothers covered their mouths when they saw it was funny, and neither of them made a sound.
The female soldier was sitting next to the two children, looking at both them and Qiao Xinyi.
"Xiao Zhou, Xiao Yu, didn't you go out to play today?" Qiao Xinyi opened her mouth and realized her throat was very dry. Fortunately, there was a kettle on the bedside, so she picked it up and drank two sips.
As soon as the two children heard Qiao Xinyi's voice, they dropped their comic books and ran towards her. They climbed onto the bed using their hands and feet, and lay down on either side of Qiao Xinyi.
"Aunt, you're awake. You've slept for a long time. Did you sleep well?" Fu Linzhou asked.
"Aunt, did my brother and I quarrel with you?" Fu Zeyu asked.
"You didn't wake me up. I woke up because I had enough sleep." Qiao Xinyi touched the two children's heads and asked again, "Why didn't you go out to play?"
"I went out to play, and when I came back I wanted to see my aunt. My sister said that my aunt shouldn't rest and wouldn't disturb her, so we stayed at the end of the bed to accompany her."
Fu Linzhou hugged Qiao Xinyi's arm and rubbed his little face against her arm gently, "Aunt, are you working so hard? If my brother and I eat less and buy fewer new clothes, will you be less tired, Aunt?"
Qiao Xinyi paused.
"Why do you think so?" Qiao Xinyi was very surprised. "How hard I work has nothing to do with how much you eat and spend."
Qiao Xinyi held the two children in her arms and explained to them in a low voice.
"Auntie has been busy these past two days because work has reached a critical point. I work because I want to work and I want to accomplish something, so I have to do it. It has nothing to do with other things, and it has nothing to do with whether I want to or not."
"I'm not short of money. I don't have to work so hard for the salary. Besides, you and your brother don't spend much money. Children don't have to worry about these problems." Qiao Xinyi patiently explained to the two children why she worked.
"Isn't it because of my brother and I that Auntie works so hard?" Fu Linzhou was visibly happy. "My brother and I didn't make Uncle and Auntie work harder, right?"
"Yes~" Qiao Xinyi covered the two children with a quilt, "Uncle and aunt would have worked hard without you~"
Qiao Xinyi imitated the children's tone of voice, with a cute ending tone, and the two children smiled with their eyes curved.
"Can you tell me, Auntie, why you suddenly think like this?" Qiao Xinyi was puzzled. This was not her first day at work, nor was it the first time she was so busy.
The two children were already accustomed to her working status. After all, she had been very busy since she joined the industrial team.
"Brother, do you want to tell me?" Fu Zeyu asked Fu Linzhou.
"Aunt, do you really want to know?" Fu Linzhou did not immediately answer whether his brother could tell him or not, but first asked Qiao Xinyi if she really wanted to know.
After Qiao Xinyi nodded, Fu Linzhou continued.
"Someone told me and my brother that my aunt was pregnant and was going to have a baby of her own, and that she would love the baby more and not me and my brother anymore."
"She also said that uncle and aunt will spend money on aunt's baby in the future, and that uncle and aunt work hard to earn money, and asked my brother and me to be a good boy and not to ask uncle and aunt for toys and clothes, and not to always shout for meat. She said raising a child is very expensive, and uncle and aunt have worked hard to raise me and my brother."
"Who said these things to you?" Qiao Xinyi's face darkened.
"These words definitely weren't said by children, but it seems like an adult has no good intentions when saying these words to two such young children." The female soldier, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up.
With Qiao Xinyi's ability, she is not short of money.
It can be seen that both Captain Fu and Qiao Xinyi are willing to spend money on their children.
The clothes that children wear in Beijing are not second-hand clothes, and they are very fashionable every day.
Both children had pocket money in their pockets, although it was not much, but if they wanted to eat candied haws or were hungry and wanted to eat steamed buns, they would buy them with money from their pockets. Even if their parents were not around, they would never be thirsty or hungry.
Qiao Xinyi hadn't woken up yet, so the two children stayed in the room to accompany her. Therefore, the female soldier could see that the two children had a very good relationship with Qiao Xinyi.
"I feel like the person who said these things to the child is trying to deliberately break up the unity of your family." This is what the female soldier thought.
"This is really bad, and what you did is really bad." Qiao Xinyi also realized that the person who said these words to the two children was really full of malice.
"Is she a bad person?" Fu Linzhou's big eyes were full of doubts.
"Yes, whoever says these things to you again is a bad person." Qiao Xinyi said firmly, "These people just can't stand others being better off. They are very jealous and wish others to be unhappy."
The two children were full of doubts and didn't understand why there was something they couldn't bear to see.
"Xiao Zhou, Xiao Yu, remember this: if someone says something that makes you feel uncomfortable, that person is a bad guy. They are deliberately trying to make you unhappy."
Qiao Xinyi patted the two children's heads and said, "You are still young and don't understand some things, so you just need to remember what your aunt told you."
The two children nodded slightly and said yes, promising that they would remember it firmly.
"Now tell your aunt who said these things to you?" Qiao Xinyi didn't know who was so mean, but Fu Linzhou and Fu Zeyu were really sensible.
When Qiao Xinyi and Fu Qingshan had just returned to his hometown and wanted to buy a toy for the two children, the two brothers said that only one would be enough.
Later, when the two children came to her and Fu Qingshan, they never took the initiative to ask her and Fu Qingshan for any toys.
She bought them for her two children on her own when she saw something suitable for them while shopping, or when she saw other children playing with them in the family compound.
The only thing these two children would ask for is meat once every three to five days.
Also, when the weather is very hot, I will say I want to eat popsicles.
They will not spend the pocket money they are given carelessly, they have the idea of saving money.
Qiao Xinyi doesn't need Fu Linzhou and Fu Zeyu to be too sensible. Being too sensible means that they have no sense of security or belonging in this family.
And there is no need to be sensible in childhood.
Childhood should be like childhood.
"It's a neighbor lady in the building behind my grandmother's house." Fu Linzhou pouted and held Qiao Xinyi's face with both hands. "My brother and I will not talk to her anymore. We don't like her."
