Chapter 13: Running in Both Directions (Revised)
Since her parents agreed to her leaving, Qiao Qinglu went into her room to pack her things. She found a large shoulder bag and put all her books in it. She also found a piece of cloth and carefully packed up all the clothes she had worn during this period. Then she carried them out of the room.
Brother Qiao also wanted to go back to the machinery factory, and he happened to be going the same way as the two of them, so the three of them said goodbye to Qiao's father and mother and left the textile factory compound together.
After going downstairs, Xiao Qinyun stepped on his shoulder bag and handed it to Brother Qiao. "Brother, please help us carry the bag. I'll take Qinglu home first and come back to pick you up later."
Brother Qiao waved his hand: "No, just take good care of Xiaolu when you get home. I'll be back in ten minutes."
Okay, Xiao Qinyun and Qiao Qinglu said goodbye to Brother Qiao and left on their bikes.
After a while, they rode to the machinery factory compound. They didn't meet anyone on the way, so they went straight back to their new house.
The new house here is also a tube-shaped building. They live in the first building, and the layout is similar to that of the tube-shaped buildings in the textile factory, with a shared kitchen and no toilet. But this tube-shaped building was newly built last year. It is larger, with one bedroom and a living room, and an extra bathroom. It was considered the best conditions in the 1970s.
After returning home, Xiao Qinyun saw Qiao Qinglu sorting clothes and quickly took over. "I'll do it, you take a rest."
Qiao Qinglu didn't bother to be polite with him. Good men are cultivated. Since he is willing to help, why should she discourage his initiative? Just let him do it.
Everyone says, "Once a girl gets pregnant, she's queen for ten months."
Well, she is pregnant with twins now, so it’s not too much for her to enjoy some queen treatment.
By the way, did she forget something? Oh, she didn’t tell Xiao Qinyun that there were two babies in her belly?
So, Qiao Qinglu walked in front of Xiao Qinyun and asked him to put his arms around her. "Xiao Qinyun, I have a secret to tell you."
Xiao Qinyun was confused: "Secret, what secret?"
Qiao Qinglu grabbed Xiao Qinyun's hands, placed them on her belly and said, "There are two angel babies growing in here, a boy and a girl."
Xiao Qinyun shuddered. He slowly turned Qiao Qinglu around to face him. "I didn't hear you clearly just now. Can you say it again?"
Qiao Qinglu said word by word: "I said, there are two angel babies growing in my belly, one boy and one girl."
Xiao Qinyun hugged Qiao Qinglu, but she pushed him away mercilessly, "Be gentle."
The new father said, "Yes, it's all my fault. I'm sorry, babies. Daddy was too excited. I'll be gentler."
After saying that, Xiao Qinyun squatted down and stroked Qiao Qinglu's belly inch by inch with his big hands. It was really amazing. He would soon have two little angels.
Pah pah pah…
"Open the door quickly." Brother Qiao is here.
Qiao Qinglu: "Don't talk nonsense about the children. They are still young and the doctor can't determine the number or gender."
Xiao Qinyun nodded, opened the door for Brother Qiao, and took the bag.
After delivering the package, Brother Qiao said hello to them and left.
Xiao Qinyun continued to pack his things, while Qiao Qinglu sat quietly watching.
After packing up, Xiao Qinyun said to her, "I have a surprise for you."
Qiao Qinglu was a little curious.
Xiao Qinyun didn't keep anyone in suspense and directly took out two red boxes from his pocket, one square and the other long.
He first opened the square red box and took out a gold ring engraved with a dragon and phoenix pattern. He asked, "Can I put it on for you, Qinglu?"
"Yeah." Qiao Qinglu stretched out her left hand and let him put the ring on her ring finger. It was the right size.
Then Xiao Qinyun opened the long red box again and took out a gold chain with a gold and ruby pendant. Before he could speak, he saw Qiao Qinglu lift up her hair, revealing her long neck, and motioned for him to put it on.
