There are four children to take care of at once, and even Fu Bailu, an elderly lady, cannot take care of them all. The Fu family will definitely need one more person to help take care of Qiao Xinyi when she is about to give birth.
However, Qiao Xinyi's work is very important, and it is actually impossible for her to stay at home for a year to take care of and raise the children.
For such a large family, with at least four adults and four children, it would be too big to move into a two-bedroom apartment.
They were forced to move in. Fu Qingshan and Qiao Xinyi couldn't rest well either.
But these two people's work cannot be sloppy at all.
"The army held a meeting and submitted a written statement. The final result was that you can continue to live in this house and do not need to move."
Political Commissar Xu said, "This matter has been approved by the higher-ups, and there is also a written document. Just keep it to yourself, and no one will say anything to you."
"I really have to thank all the leaders of the army for taking such good care of our family." Qiao Xinyi was very happy.
According to regulations, Fu Qingshan actually received a notice to move to the staff housing complex in early January, and was even asked to choose a house.
But she was busy at that time, and Fu Qingshan was even busier than her, so the family couldn't spare the time to move immediately, so the move was postponed until before the New Year.
This was done in accordance with the rules. Although Qiao Xinyi felt that the two-bedroom apartment was too small at the time, she did not say anything to outsiders, nor did she show any embarrassment or reluctance to move.
Later, she discussed with Fu Qingshan that after she gave birth, she would take Xiao Zhou, Xiao Yu and Fu Bailu to live in the small western-style building, leaving Fu Qingshan alone in the military family compound, and he would wait until his day off to stay in the small western-style building for a night.
When the time comes, Qiao Lai Di will be paid, and she will also live in the small western-style building to help Fu Bailu take care of the four children at home. In order to ensure Qiao Xinyi's work energy, the two children will not sleep with her at night.
Qiao Laidi readily agreed to help Qiao Xinyi with her confinement and take care of the child.
She was not afraid of working for Qiao Xinyi, but she was afraid that Qiao Xinyi would not be able to use her.
When they were discussing it at the beginning, Qiao Laidi even forbade Qiao Xinyi to talk to her about salary, saying that it was too awkward for sisters to help each other with money.
It was Qiao Xinyi who insisted, and Fu Bailu and Chen Yubing persuaded Qiao Laidie to agree to take the money.
"You two are both ministers of the country. It's my duty to solve your problems in life." Political Commissar Xu felt particularly comfortable listening to Qiao Xinyi's words.
What a good comrade she is, what a reasonable comrade she is.
He was not arrogant at all, and he fully understood and obeyed the regulations of the army.
When people say they are very grateful, they really mean it, and the joy on their faces is not fake or forced at all.
This shows that they really have no complaints about the organization.
"Okay, I'm done with you. I'm going home." Political Commissar Xu weighed the sweet potatoes in his hand and said, "You have quite a lot on the table. Pick two more for me. I'll take them back and eat them with your sister-in-law."
This is indeed not being polite to Fu Qingshan's family.
Fu Qingshan and Qiao Xinyi saw Political Commissar Xu off, but when they reached the door they ran into Feng Weiguo and Mrs. Feng who had suddenly appeared.
"You are the eldest son of the Feng family in Jing City, right? I think you look a lot like your father." Political Commissar Xu recognized Feng Weiguo at a glance and asked, "Is this your wife? How come you suddenly came to us from Jing City?"
"I'm on a business trip to the provincial capital, and my wife's company is also on winter vacation, so we came to visit Qingshan's wife." Feng Weiguo explained, "You are Uncle Xu, right? I've heard my father mention you."
"Oh, yes, I used to be a soldier under your father." Political Commissar Xu suddenly felt that he was old. The three children of the Feng family were so grown up now.
"Qingshan, you guys go in. I'm leaving." Knowing that Fu Qingshan had guests, Political Commissar Xu didn't chat much with Feng Weiguo and his wife. He just asked them to come over to his place and sit for a while, then he left with three roasted sweet potatoes in his arms.
"Brother Feng, Sister Feng, come in quickly." Qiao Xinyi took Sister Feng's arm and asked with a smile, "Why did you come in directly after arriving at the family compound? No one notified us to go to the door to pick you up."
"We saw your three children at the door, your brother, Xiao Zhou and Xiao Yu. They brought us in, but when we got to your door, they were taken away by other children from the compound."
Mrs. Feng patted Qiao Xinyi's arm and said, "The two children are still as lively as they were in Beijing. They are much more relaxed when they see me."
"When they first came back, they were very scared. They would stick to me and Qingshan to sleep at night. But after more than half a month, they went back to sleep upstairs by themselves. They complained that our bed was not big enough and that Fu Qingshan and I were squeezing them." Qiao Xinyi was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
The main reason was that when the weather got cold, Qiao Xinyi would automatically grab the quilt after falling asleep, and the two children really couldn't beat her, so after holding on for a few days, the two brothers held hands and went back to their own rooms to sleep without any reluctance.
When guests came to the house, Fu Bailu came out of the kitchen and greeted them, "You haven't had dinner yet at this time? You're in for a treat tonight. I'll stew a goose in an iron pot."
"Aunt Fu, then Weiguo and I are in for a treat. We've come at the right time." Sister Feng responded.
"Yes, finally I give you a chance to taste my cooking skills." After saying hello, Fu Bailu went back to the kitchen to continue cooking.
After sitting down, Mrs. Feng took out the things she had brought from Beijing from her bag.
"Here is your passbook. You are planning to buy a small courtyard, aren't you? So I withdrew 20,000 and put it in my account. I brought the passbook to you for the rest. I thought it would be convenient for you to have the passbook in your hands if you need the money."
"I've brought you the property deeds and contracts for the several yards I bought for you over the past few months."
Mrs. Feng laughed when she said this, "You really dare to trust me. You said you would put the savings book with hundreds of thousands of dollars here."
"How could I not trust you, sister-in-law?" Qiao Xinyi said, "I'm very good at judging people. I know that sister-in-law is not that kind of person, so of course I dare to believe her. Don't say that it's only a few hundred thousand. Even if it's tens of thousands or tens of millions, I still dare to trust you, sister-in-law."
"Oh, you're really good at talking. You made me so happy." Sister Feng laughed happily, then reached out and touched Qiao Xinyi's belly, then touched her own belly.
"Your twin belly is really different from mine. Wearing a coat in winter, no one would know I'm pregnant if I didn't tell them."
Mrs. Feng puffed out her belly and asked Qiao Xinyi, "Do you know whether the baby in your belly is a boy or a girl?"
Qiao Xinyi shook her head. "I don't know. I didn't ask specifically. I'll know on the day the baby is born. For now, I'll keep it a secret."
"Your idea is ridiculous. If I had known, I wouldn't have asked." Mrs. Feng patted her thigh. "I couldn't control my curiosity that day and asked my classmate. Then I knew that the baby in my belly was a boy."
Sister Feng sighed, "But when you think about the fact that Feng Wei's country has so many boys, and my sisters and brothers from my mother's family also gave birth to boys, it's not surprising that the baby in my belly is a boy."
