Although the child's father is too nagging, his massage skills are really good.
After Qiao Xinyi's shoulders relaxed, she pushed Fu Qingshan away and went back to bed.
The weather in the provincial capital was still very hot in October, and Qiao Xinyi was still wearing her summer short-sleeved pajamas.
She lay flat on the bed, pulled her pajamas up to her abdomen, and when she looked at the way her abdomen looked now, she even laughed.
"You still don't look like a pregnant woman." Fu Qingshan took a blanket and covered the area around Qiao Xinyi's belly button. "I turned the fan to rotate, so it doesn't blow all night."
"Then you sleep on the inside." Qiao Xinyi pulled her legs back, "Otherwise, your big body will block all the wind from me."
Fu Qingshan had said this when they were in Beijing, and Qiao Xinyi's dislike was particularly obvious when the weather was hot.
The two of them changed positions and lay down again. Qiao Xinyi leaned in Fu Qingshan's arms and told her about the afternoon when she and Grandpa Zhang went to see Grandpa Du to settle the matter.
"They are all respected elders. The Du and Ping families are also very important in the system. Mr. Zhang may have another meaning for taking you to meet them." Fu Qingshan said.
"Mr. Zhang seemed to have decided to take me to meet them after hearing me say that I quit my job at the school." Qiao Xinyi thought back to what happened in the afternoon and guessed this. It seemed like Mr. Zhang took her there on a whim.
Fu Qingshan nodded. "I think he wants to pave the way for you. After all, scientific research also requires connections to open doors."
Qiao Xinyi herself didn't think deeply about this, but when she thought about the content of her conversation with several elders in the afternoon, it seemed that the scope of the conversation was indeed quite wide, so wide that it seemed like they were probing her knowledge reserves.
"That's true. Mr. Zhang is really subtle about it." Qiao Xinyi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
If Fu Qingshan hadn't mentioned it to her, she wouldn't even have thought about it, and she really thought that it was Mr. Zhang's old friend who was particularly curious about her after hearing that she won the plane.
"By the way, has He Rou come to get the gift Zhang Li prepared for her today?" Qiao Xinyi suddenly remembered this. "I happened to meet her when I went to see Mrs. Lu today. I asked her to come to my house after school to get it."
"No." Fu Qingshan said, "I went home early today, but I'm sure she didn't come."
Qiao Xinyi chuckled, "Maybe she doesn't plan to do it anymore."
He Rou would rather not take the gift Zhang Li prepared for her from her than to get angry to death.
Qiao Xinyi didn't go out for several days. She wrote reports at home every day and spent time with her two children. This made Fu Linzhou and Fu Zeyu very happy.
Sunday came in the blink of an eye. Chen Yubing came over early in the morning with Qiao Yunsong and Qiao Yunbai.
This was the first time Qiao Yunsong had come to visit his eldest sister and brother-in-law's house in the true sense since returning home.
As soon as he entered the door, Fu Linzhou and Fu Zeyu enthusiastically pulled him around, and even invited him to eat candy and meat.
"Xinyi, these are the grapefruits sent to your aunt Zhang Hua by her relative. Knowing that I'm coming to your place today, she specifically asked me to send you a few. Her relative said that there was enough rain and sunshine this year, so the grapefruits are sweet and juicy. The grapefruits were just picked from the tree the other day, and they are said to be sweeter if they are left for a few more days."
Chen Yubing carried the sack into the kitchen and turned around to ask, "When are we going to go up the mountain to pick wild vegetables? We can pick some more and send some to your aunt Zhang Hua. Your aunt Zhang Hua also likes to eat wild vegetable dumplings."
"Sister-in-law Yan Hua said we should meet at the gate of the family compound at nine o'clock." Qiao Xinyi checked the time and said, "I'll drink some water and go out."
"I'll do it!" Qiao Yunsong volunteered to pick up the clean kettle on the table and go to the kitchen, then asked Qiao Xinyi in the kitchen, "Sister, why is my brother-in-law not at home today? Is he working overtime today?"
"They said the army had made arrangements, but it was so mysterious that I didn't know what the arrangements were." After Qiao Xinyi responded, she went back to her room and changed into long-sleeved shirts, long pants and cloth shoes.
There are mosquitoes in the mountains. No matter how hot it is, you have to wear long pants and long sleeves, and tie up your trouser legs with long socks, otherwise you will get bitten.
After packing up her things, she picked up the basket, the hoe, the hatchet and other tools, and the kettle. She called Fu Linzhou and Fu Zeyu who were playing outside the door, "Take the candy and meat home. We are going up the mountain."
"Aunt, why don't you take Chitang and Chirou with you to pick wild vegetables? I guess Chitang and Chirou also want to go to the mountains to play!" Fu Linzhou asked.
The two dogs seemed to understand and barked twice at Qiao Xinyi, wagging their tails wildly.
"Your uncle specifically told us not to take the dog to our mountain." So Qiao Xinyi became more and more certain that Fu Qingshan was hiding something fishy.
"Okay." Fu Linzhou looked regretful, but still ordered the two dogs to go home.
After closing the door, the family slowly walked to the gate of the staff quarters to meet up.
When we got there, we saw a huge crowd of people, more than twenty adults alone.
"With so many people going together, how many pieces of wild vegetables should each family get?" Qiao Yunbai and Qiao Xinyi whispered.
"The whole mountain has been dug. It is said that the troops on that mountain have arranged people to clean it up in advance. There will be no dangerous beasts or anything. The snakes have also been driven away, so there will be no problem walking in the mountain."
Qiao Xinyi explained, "It's not a problem for such a small number of people to dig such a big mountain."
By nine o'clock, including Qiao Xinyi's family, there were more than a dozen adults, and the children were chirping like a flock of sparrows.
"Everyone, take good care of your children. Let's go up the mountain to pick wild vegetables." Sister Yan Hua stood at the front of the team and waved her hand to call everyone to set off. At the same time, she reminded everyone to only move around in the mountain she led them to and not to go astray. If they went astray, they would not have prepared in advance and would definitely be in danger.
After walking for about twenty minutes, everyone finally reached the foot of the mountain. Sister-in-law Yan Hua asked everyone to disperse and choose their favorite path up the mountain. There was no need to gather in a large group, saying that if they saw a patch of wild vegetables, there would not be enough for a group of people to share.
"Xinyi, wait for me, I'll go with you later. You're a pregnant woman here, I have to take care of you." Sister-in-law Yan Hua shouted to Qiao Xinyi.
Qiao Xinyi felt that she didn't need anyone to take care of her, but since Sister Yan Hua said she would go with her, she stood behind the crowd and waited for Sister Yan Hua.
Sister-in-law Yan Hua waited until all the family members had gone up the mountain before going to look for Qiao Xinyi. They chose a less crowded road and went up the mountain.
Not to mention that there are indeed a lot of wild vegetables along the way. The air in the mountains is good, and the weather this year is very good, with plenty of rain and sunshine, so the wild vegetables in the mountains grow really lush and dense, and the mountain roads are not difficult to walk on after being harvested.
Qiao Xinyi saw Sister Yan Hua looking around as she climbed up the mountain, her eyes very busy.
She wasn't busy looking for wild vegetables. The wild vegetables were clearly right under her feet, but when she saw them she simply turned her eyes away and no one knew what she was looking for.
Several children surrounded Chen Yubing. Chen Yubing asked them to dig whichever grass they wanted.
Qiao Yunsong and Qiao Yunbai were responsible for digging wild vegetables while keeping an eye on the two children.
