The next morning, Qiu Ling brought her son and husband to the courtyard. "Sister Qingmeng, I missed you so much. What took you so long to come back this time?"
Su Qingmeng: "It's a bit busy indeed. But I will be able to come back at least once a year from now on."
She looked at Qiu Ling's son, who was less than two years old and stood there in a small ball. "His name is Wu Huazang, right?"
"Yes," Qiu Ling handed her son to Su Qingmeng, "He's a little lazy boy who doesn't like to move."
Su Qingmeng felt his weight and realized it was quite heavy. The child turned his head and leaned towards his mother, straining his body, "Mom."
"He's still shy, so I'll give it to you."
Qiu Ling took her son and handed him to Wu Yuan. She wanted to talk to her sister, "You didn't come back last year, and you missed our class reunion."
Kang Kang came out and greeted them, "Aunt Qiu, Uncle Wu," and then went back to do his homework.
Qiu Ling: "Kang Kang is really sensible. You are liberated now, but I still have to endure for a few more years."
"I'm just pretending," Su Qingmeng said. "I played around a few days ago and now I'm catching up on my homework."
Wu Yuan took his son to see the flowers and patiently taught him to speak. Su Qingmeng saw it all. She felt that among her college friends, Qiu Ling's partner was the most considerate, He Rui's boyfriend was a tyrant and a bit of a mama's boy, and Tang Qiuyu's boyfriend was helpless and couldn't take care of the family.
Qiu Ling excitedly started gossiping, "The student council member actually..."
In fact, Su Qingmeng has no interest in class reunions. She can contact those she wants to contact without attending the reunion, and the rest are irrelevant people. She doesn't like this kind of social occasions where people flatter and brag to each other.
However, looking at Qiu Ling's lively and cheerful face, as if she could feel her happiness overflowing from within, she still listened attentively.
"And the sports committee member, you still remember how strong he was in college. But the last time we met, he had gained a lot of weight. His belly was almost the same as when I was in the late stage of pregnancy." Qiu Ling said with a sigh.
Su Qingmeng was amused, "Maybe it's happiness weight gain."
Qiu Ling savored the words and said, "You're right, I'm going to gain some happiness weight too." She stood up and showed Su Qingmeng her figure, "I've gained twenty pounds."
Su Qingmeng: "You can consider fitness. I exercise for at least an hour every day."
Qiu Ling looked at her carefully. "No wonder you've always been so slim. Also, your skin is so good."
Su Qingmeng shared her skin care experience, face washing method, skin care steps, "Also, I use a facial mask every day." Now she is no longer the same as when she was in her twenties, she takes better care of herself.
Qiu Ling shook her head: "I can't do it. It turns out that beauty doesn't come without a price. I'd rather stay ugly." It's too troublesome.
"Okay." Su Qingmeng was still a little disappointed. Why didn't her friends care about beauty? She didn't even have anyone to communicate with.
"By the way," she asked Wu Yuan, "Writer Wu, do you know how the filming of my work is going?"
Wu Yuan: "Casting is complete and filming has officially begun."
As they were talking, Lin Xiuyao came back carrying some food. "Mr. Qiu, Comrade Wu is here. I bought a snakehead fish. We're having pickled fish for lunch today."
When Lin Xiuyao entered the kitchen, Qiu Ling praised, "Classmate Lin is still so considerate." This is the ideal partner who has a living room above and a kitchen below.
Su Qingmeng: "That's enough, isn't your Old Wu pretty good too?"
Qiu Ling: It's a shame Wu Yuan is such a kitchen killer, but he does other household chores pretty well, not as good as most, but definitely better than most. "Old Wu, give me your son, and you go help with the dishes and stuff."
Kang Kang finished his homework for today and came to the yard to tease his little brother, "Xiao Zang, look at me." He made faces at the child.
Qiu Ling continued to gossip, "An intern at our publishing house got involved with a married writer. The writer's wife made a scene at the publishing house, and then everyone knew about it."
"The current atmosphere is too impetuous," Qiu Ling was absent-minded, with confusion in her eyes. "Rich people have mistresses, dance halls are particularly chaotic, fraud gangs are rampant in society, and gift-giving is also popular now." There have been too many chaotic things happening around her recently, and Qiu Ling felt uncomfortable talking about it.
Su Qingmeng patted her shoulder comfortingly, "The pain of reform will pass."
Seeing her nonchalant attitude, Qiu Ling felt much more relaxed. As expected, Sister Qingmeng was better in the capital, and it was comfortable to get along with her.
After lunch, when the Qiu Ling family said goodbye, Kang Kang suddenly had an idea, "I want a younger brother too."
Lin Xiuyao: "Son, do you know what family planning is? Give up."
Even if there was no family planning policy, he would not let his wife have another child. Giving birth is so painful. Lin Xiuyao felt that he should talk to his son about this topic when he had time, and let his son understand his wife.
Lin Xiuyao's whereabouts have been a mystery recently. He goes out in the morning and comes back in the evening, acting mysteriously.
Although there was not so much going on in his company, Su Qingmeng sensed something was wrong and took Kang Kang to the company to find him during the day.
The accountant said that the boss rarely came to the company recently and left after signing in at the end of the evening every day. Su Qingmeng thanked her and took her son out.
The HR girl and the accounting lady gossiped, "Is the boss having an affair?"
Liao Chen frowned. "What nonsense are you talking about? You came late and didn't know that the boss and the boss lady have a very good relationship."
The HR officer curled his lips. What man doesn't cheat, especially a rich boss?
Kang Kang was sensitive enough to sense that Su Qingmeng was in a bad mood. "Mom, what's wrong with Dad?"
Su Qingmeng squatted down and looked into her son's eyes seriously. "Please don't tell Dad about what happened today, okay?"
"Why?"
Su Qingmeng: "This is a secret between us, mother and daughter. Please keep it for me, okay?"
Kang Kang asked, "Mom, you won't divorce Dad, will you?" Kang Kang was a precocious child. One of his classmates' parents was divorced. His father found another woman and his mother was driven away. The classmate had to live under his stepmother and was unhappy every day.
Kang Kang doesn't want to lose his father or mother.
Su Qingmeng smiled. "What are you thinking about?" She rubbed her son's head. "You little brat, you have quite a wild imagination."
After Su Qingmeng returned home, she sent Kang Kang to read a book, and went to the bedroom to enter the space and go to Lin Xiuyao's thatched cottage.
Unfortunately, there was nothing in the thatched hut, and she couldn't see what was in the backpack.
She muttered quietly, "What the hell is going on? It's hidden very well."
Since nothing was discovered, Su Qingmeng put the matter behind her. She did not ask any further questions or take any measures such as tracking.
She could feel that Lin Xiuyao was hiding something, but Su Qingmeng was sure that he had not betrayed her. When the car reaches the mountain, there will always be a way; when the boat reaches the bridge, it will naturally straighten out.
To see how long Lin Xiuyao could keep the secret from her, Su Qingmeng went to the study to write a book. Although she had a typewriter, she was already used to writing manuscripts by hand, and now her typing speed might even be slower than her handwriting.
The working girl heroine in the new book is an ambitious person. She works hard to attend training courses and learn English. Her excellence makes her easily noticed by her boss. Su Qingmeng does not like the character of a stupid beauty. Her heroine must be smart.
