It was not until the evening of the fourth day that Lu Qingyang came back earlier than usual with a relaxed smile on his face.
As usual, she went to see the child first, and then talked to Shen Mo for a while.
While wiping the baby's body, Aunt Liu couldn't help but ask in a low voice:
"Qingyang, what have you learned about Teacher Chen's... matter? Is he...reliable?"
"Aunt Liu, don't worry. I've found out everything. Teacher Chen is a very nice person! Her family situation is true. She really wants to find something to do, and she really likes children."
놛 paused and added:
"I visited her yesterday and had a chat with her. I felt she was very nice. She was well-mannered and had her own opinions on children's affairs. She was very gentle and sensible. I thought... I could ask her for help."
When Aunt Liu heard this, her heart, which had been hanging in the balance for days, fell with a thump. A huge smile instantly blossomed on her face, and she kept saying, "Good! Good! That's great! I said I saw a good man! That's great! Our family is saved!"
Lu Qingyang smiled and continued:
"The teachers' family compound is not far from here. It only takes about ten minutes to walk there. Aunt Liu, if you run into Teacher Chen again when you go shopping tomorrow morning, or if you go directly to her house, just tell her that we welcome her to come to our house to help, and that she can come at a time that's convenient for her. She can just meet during the day."
She emphasized: "Also, although Teacher Chen said she doesn't want any wages, we can't really not give her any. We can't give her any less than she deserves. After all, taking care of children is a delicate job, and with twins, it's even harder. This is a respect for her. Please tell her clearly that this is our gift, and she must accept it."
"Oh, I understand! I understand!" Aunt Liu nodded repeatedly, and the wrinkles on her face were all smiling. "How can we ask for help for free? Teacher Chen is a kind person, so we have to be kind. Don't worry, I will take care of this matter! I will talk to Teacher Chen tomorrow morning! Regarding the wages, I will definitely do as you say!"
With Lu Qingyang's affirmation and arrangement, Aunt Liu felt relieved.
"Qingyang, you are very reliable in doing things!" Aunt Liu couldn't help but praise him again.
Lu Qingyang breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at Aunt Liu's relaxed back.
Wang sat down beside Shen Mo's bed and squeezed her hands: "Now someone will help Aunt Liu during the day, you can rest more."
Shen Mo smiled with relief: "Well, from what you said, this teacher Chen should be really good, Aunt Liu can relax a little."
The next morning, just after daybreak, Aunt Liu came out of the door with a basket of vegetables. She did not go directly to the vegetable market, but went straight to the teachers' family compound.
The door opened quickly, and Teacher Chen saw Aunt Liu with a gentle smile on his face: "Aunt Liu? So early? Please come in!"
"No, no, no," Aunt Liu waved her hand quickly, with an expression of uncontrollable joy on her face. "Teacher Chen, our Qingyang thinks you are so kind! The family is looking forward to your help! Look... are you free this morning? Can you go over? The children have just woken up and are in good spirits!"
When Teacher Chen heard this, her eyes lit up, and she was obviously very happy: "I am free, of course I am free, I will change my clothes and go with you right away!"
"Oh! That's great!" Aunt Liu laughed happily, "Also, Teacher Chen, regarding the wages, our Qingyang has specially paid for it, so you must give it to him! Please don't refuse it!"
"Okay, then... I thank you. As for the wages, you can handle it as you wish."
Not long after, Aunt Liu brought Teacher Chen, who had changed into clean and neat clothes and had a gentle smile on her face, back to the Fang family courtyard in high spirits.
"Mo girl! Qingyang! Look! I invited Teacher Chen!" Aunt Liu's voice came before she even entered the room, with a full sense of accomplishment.
Chen Mo was holding Xiaoyuer, who had just finished feeding and was looking around curiously with his big eyes, while Lu Qingyang was changing Shitou's diaper.
The two looked up when they heard the voice, and saw Teacher Chen walking in behind Aunt Liu, and they both smiled warmly in welcome.
"Teacher Chen, welcome! Please take a seat!" Shen Mo greeted hurriedly.
When Teacher Chen walked into the room, her eyes were first attracted by the two children.
Looking at the delicate and lively little fish and the stone that was humming with joy as it was "served" by its father, her eyes were instantly filled with love: "Oh, these are the stone and the little fish, right? They are even cuter than what Sister Liu described before! They are like two little angels!"
She walked to Shen Mo, but didn't rush to hold the baby. Instead, she looked at Shen Mo gently and said, "Thank you for your hard work. It's not been long since you gave birth, and your complexion has recovered so well. It's not easy."
Her eyes fell on Xiao Yu'er again, and Xiao Yu'er seemed to feel the kindness, and his little mouth opened, revealing a toothless smile.
"Smile, smile! Xiao Yuer likes Grandma Chen!" Aunt Liu said in surprise.
"Thank you for trusting me. I will come to bother you more often during the day. I will do my best to help Sister Liu take good care of our Shitou and Xiaoyuer."
"We should thank you for coming to help, Teacher Chen." Lu Qingyang said sincerely.
Shen Moxiao smiled and nodded: "With you here, we feel much more at ease."
Teacher Chen was originally a cultured person, and quite particular.
Whether it's changing diapers or coaxing the baby to sleep, he is very patient.
Sometimes she would tell stories to the two little kids, making them laugh.
Aunt Liu can finally get some relief from the endless diapers and clothes to wash and the always tense nerves of parenting.
She could study recipes more calmly, carefully prepare nourishing soups for Shen Mo and meals for the whole family, and even have time to take care of the flowers and plants in the yard more lively.
Seeing how easily Teacher Chen took care of the children, she admired her from the bottom of her heart: "Teacher Chen is so particular about taking care of children! After all, she is a cultured person, patient, and good at methods! She is much better than me, her wife!"
During the day, Chen Mo can rest assured to lean against the head of the bed and read a book, and occasionally take a nap.
Sufficient rest made her look better and better, and she could be more energetic to deal with the "midnight cries" of the two little ones at night.
Gradually, she and Teacher Chen had common topics, from parenting experience to literary history, and they got along very well.
Everyone was very nice to Teacher Chen and would give him a portion of vegetables, fruits and tea.
Teacher Chen originally lived alone and was not very happy, but now her life is much more interesting.
Things at home have been almost resolved.
At the same time, Lu Qingyang's work in the Materials Bureau entered the final stage.
The handover information has been sorted out and the project has been basically completed.
Seeing that Lu Qingyang's last day in the bureau was approaching, Zhao Weiguo felt that it was really unacceptable to let him go so quietly.
That afternoon, Wang Da waved his hand and called several key members of the department who had a good relationship with Lu Qingyang, such as Xiao Wang and Lao Zhou, and they blocked Lu Qingyang at the door of the office.
"Qingyang! Don't even think about running away! Tomorrow is your last day as a little girl. You must have this farewell dinner tonight! The reservation has been made. It's in a small private room on the first floor of the state-owned hotel! No one is allowed to take leave. If anyone does, I'll be angry!"
I haven't been in the Material Bureau for a long time, but I have made some good friends thanks to my abilities and personality.
놛 smiled and replied: "Chief, you are too polite! This meal should be treated to everyone by me..."
"Stop!" Zhao Weiguo interrupted him with a wave of his hand, "Don't give me that! I heard that your family has a happy event of twins! We must give you this farewell dinner! It's settled! Don't leave after get off work, let's go together!"
Old Zhou smiled and nodded: "Qingyang, go ahead. Everyone wants to have a good chat with you. We will have fewer opportunities to meet in the future."
Unable to refuse such a kind offer, Lu Qingyang had no choice but to agree with a smile: "Okay! Thank you, Section Chief, and thank you everyone! I'll treat you tonight!"
"We're the ones who will treat you!" Zhao Weiguo made the final decision. "You can keep the money to buy milk powder for the two kids! Let's go, let's meet at the door after get off work!"
