Chapter 605: Get engaged first
Xu Sheng Mei had always found Zhang Mei Lian displeasing to the eye.
The last time she clearly wanted her to pay. In the end, she was forced pay 2,000 yuan to compensate with her. Only then, they pooled together 5,000 yuan to settle the matter.
However, on this matter, she didn’t refuse.
“Just send some children’s toys and clothes. There’s nothing lacking on their side.” Xu Sheng Mei said.
She need to go over and socialize with them.
Zhang Mei Lian went back to prepare. She prepared five sets of small clothes for babies and brought them to Xu Sheng Me.
Xu Sheng Mei took it with her.
When she arrived, Zhou Qing Bai happened to get off work and was at home. Lin Qing He went to visit Mother Weng.
“Uncle, I just heard that you and Aunt came back, so I brought Fan Fan over.” Xu Sheng Mei smilingly said.
She didn’t come alone. She had brought along her son. He was called Zhao Fan.
“This is the toy I prepared for my little cousin. There are small clothes inside as well. Those were prepared by Qiang Zi’s wife. I brought them as well.” Xu Sheng Mei handed a bag and smiled.
Hands don’t hit those who smile. Zhou Qing Bai glanced at grandnephew in her arms and spoke, “Come in.”
“I won’t go in. This is Qiang Zi and I’s thoughts. Uncle, please accept it.” Xu Sheng Mei said.
Zhou Qing Bai took it and repeated, “Come in.”
Xu Sheng Mei followed in with her son in her arm.
Little Mi Mi was currently sleeping. Zhou Qing Bai was about to settle the wages. With so many workers in the small workshop and having to pay out extra half a month, the expense was quite a sum.
“Uncle, is my little cousin sleeping?” Xu Sheng Mei merrily said.
“En.” Zhou Qing Bai answered. He looked at her and spoke: “Now that the child is this big, properly live your life.”
“I know. Uncle don’t need to worry. Everything is fine.” Xu Sheng Mei responded: “It’s wonderful now. You have both son and daughter. My little cousin is blessed. She arrived when the family conditions are great.”
Zhou Qing Bai let her to sit for a while before she go back. It was Xu Sheng Mei who mentioned it. Her visit was short.
When Lin Qing He came back, she noticed the things on the table and asked, “Who dropped by?”
“Sheng Mei brought her son over. These are from her and her brother.” Zhou Qing Bai replied.
Lin Qing He frowned slightly. Zhou Qing Bai said, “It’s just some baby clothes and toys.”
Lin Qing He responded, “Does my daughter lack these? Save her thought and go about her own life. And I won’t bother her!”
It made it seem like she was very thoughtful. Like being small-minded with her was her in the wrong. This was what made her dislike.
“I’ll leave in a while.” Zhou Qing Bai said soothingly.
Lin Qing He let him be. She went in to see her daughter and then instructed, “Those pork is not enough. Order more.”
“Do you have to make so much this year?” Zhou Qing Bai uttered.
“Eldest will to take ten jins when he comes back during the New Year. Got to give our parents five jins. We’ll eat it ourselves too and give Sister Weng a little. It’s definitely not enough.” Lin Qing He responded.
Zhou Qing Bai nodded: “I’ll order more tomorrow.”
Lin Qing He put down the bag she brought back and took out the small clothes from the inside. They were all prepared by Mother Weng. They were for about seven or eight months. It’ll be summer at that time. Perfect.
Right now, little socks and the likes were all complete. They were Mother Weng’s thoughts.
So Lin Qing He didn’t care about the things Xu Sheng Mei brought. The siblings living their life well was enough. There was no need to come here.
Still, she came to exude her presence.
Lin Qing He watched Zhou Qing Bai do the calculations and said, “Done yet?”
“Almost.” Zhou Qing Bai nodded. After dispersing the small workshop, the expense was a sum.
After all, it half a month extra. Which added up to a lot. Still, it needed to be paid out. After all, this was also severance pay.
Be more generous and it won’t leave a bad impression on each other.
Little Mi Mi’s cry sounded from the inside. Lin Qing He could only go in and carry the little girl out.
“The diaper must be wet.” Zhou Qing Bai accepted and said. He took her into the room again. It was wet. Without hesitation, he changed the diaper and sprinkled talcum powder. Once cleaned up, she was carried out.
It was only about two hours since Lin Qing He left the house. So she wasn’t very hungry. She didn’t get fed.
The little girl was getting bigger now. Her awake moments were longer. At this time, she was quietly staying in her dad’s arms and looking at the world with her eyes open. No crying or making trouble.
“If she doesn’t cry, just let her be on her own. If you keep holding her like this, you will suffer when she’s a little older.” Lin Qing He gave him an eye-roll.
“I will still hold her when she is older.” Zhou Qing Bai had expression on his face expressing daughter’s ten thousands’ matters must be satisfied.
Lin Qing He didn’t want to watch his behavior anymore. She turned on the TV and watched it. She grabbed an apple to munch on. Little Mi Mi, who was observing the world for more than half an hour, felt that she was hungry and started to dive into her dad’s chest.
Seeing this action, Zhou Qing Bai laughed: “Wife, daughter is hungry.”
What else could Lin Qing He do? She could only feed. With such a little one here, she always came and went in a hurry when she went out. Not daring to stay outside too long.
After the feeding, she handed her over to her dad and said: “Has Eldest called back?”
“He’ll be back at the end of the month.” Zhou Qing Bai stated.
Zhou Kai, who was far away at the base, had already started to pack his things at this time. He can go back on the 20th. Therefore, there were only more than ten days left. This year, he will be able to stay for more than half a month. The same old rules.
“I noticed the milk powder over at the city is pretty good. Do you want to buy some back?” When he dropped by that day, Weng Mei Jia asked him.
“I bought them all.” Zhou Kai nodded.
“Alright then.” Weng Mei Jia said: “I’m off three days earlier than you.”
“Then wait for me to go back together. Treat it as overtime.” Zhou Kai smilingly said.
“I called my mom. My mom asked if we should get engaged first during this return?” Weng Mei Jia looked at him as she mentioned.
Zhou Kai responded: “Go back and get engaged first.”
Weng Mei Jia’s delight on her face increased.
“I should be able to get a promotion again next year. Once I do, I will file the marriage report.” Zhou Kai gazed at her and stated.
“En.” When Weng Meijia heard this, her face turned red.
It went without saying, she was elated. After all, she was finally getting married.
Zhou Kai called the dumpling shop when he went back. He hadn’t called for a while and wanted to ask when his parents will be in the capital.
As soon as the call connected, it was his dad who picked it up. Zhou Kai was surprised: “Dad, when did you return to the capital?”
“Got back a few days ago.” Zhou Qing Bai answered: “When are you on holiday?”
Zhou Kai gave the time and Zhou Qing Bai said, “I will tell your mom.”
