Chapter 183 Have these two talked?
Feeling guilty, Lu Congyue hoisted Xiao Qianyue onto his shoulder and quickly left.
The smile on Zhuang Qingxiang's face also disappeared at the same time.
After a moment of distraction, she roused herself and quickly finished the chores at home, while also taking care of her two infant babies.
Fortunately, Sun Yongxian came to help soon.
But as soon as she entered, she exclaimed, "Sister Zhuang, what's wrong? Why do you look so listless, like a wilted eggplant? What happened this time?"
"What are you saying? I'm fine." Zhuang Qingxiang smiled and scolded, "I've just been working late into the night. Look, I'm almost finished."
She showed Sun Yongxian the phoenix she was almost finished embroidering, and said, "Yongxian, I'd appreciate it if you could take a closer look at the two children today. I'd like to finish the work today."
Sun Yongxian nodded repeatedly: "No problem."
Zhuang Qingxiang seized the time to start working, and didn't even lift her head all morning.
She didn't stop the needlework until Lu Congyue returned at noon, revealing a tired but satisfied smile.
Sun Yongxian, holding the somewhat fussy little Donghua, stood beside her and exclaimed in admiration, "Sister Zhuang, you're so beautiful! You're so amazing!"
She didn't even know how to describe it; how could there be such an amazing person as Sister Zhuang in this world?
Look at this phoenix, so resplendent in gold and jade...
Zhuang Qingxiang smiled and turned the embroidery hoop over.
Sun Yongxian exclaimed in surprise, "My God, it's here too! It's a phoenix rising from the ashes?!"
"Yes." Zhuang Qingxiang nodded with a smile, "It's finally finished. I hope that foreign friend will be satisfied."
Lu Congyue also came over to take a look at this moment. After reading it, he said with some jealousy, "Can a foreigner appreciate this? Giving it to them is a waste!"
He doesn't even have that, so why should those other people have it?
Zhuang Qingxiang raised her eyes and glared at him: "Don't talk nonsense. Take it to the office. The framing materials should have been delivered. They know how to frame it. Once it's done, send it out as soon as possible."
As she spoke, she rubbed her shoulders, admitting that she had indeed been exhausted these past few days.
Lu Congyue noticed that her complexion was not better than in the morning; in fact, she looked even more tired. He frowned with some concern and said, "I told you there was still time, but you insisted on pushing yourself... Don't use any more needles after this is done. Take a good rest."
"Okay," Zhuang Qingxiang replied casually, turning her neck as if you could hear her bones cracking.
Then, turning my head, I met a pair of wide-open eyes.
It was Sun Yongxian. She stared wide-eyed in surprise, looking at her and then at Lu Congyue, her mouth agape as if she could fit an egg in it.
Zhuang Qingxiang was taken aback: "What's wrong?"
Sun Yongxian winked and made faces.
Lu Congyue frowned: "Teacher Sun, just say what you want to say, what are you doing?"
Sun Yongxian also wanted to say it, but she didn't dare to say it in front of Director Lu.
Now she longs to rush back to her husband and tell him about her discovery.
There's something definitely off between Director Lu and Sister Zhuang, especially Director Lu's doting tone. Wow, is this something Director Lu would say?
Factory Director Lu is either possessed by an evil spirit or in love.
The relationship between these two has progressed by leaps and bounds!
Sun Yongxian really wanted to scream.
"Yongxian, what's wrong?" Zhuang Qingxiang asked with some concern when she saw her strange expression.
Sun Yongxian shook her head vigorously and let out a breath: "It's nothing, it's nothing, Sister Zhuang. Now that you've finished your work, I should go back to work too. I'll head back now."
Sun Yongxian handed the baby Donghua to Zhuang Qingxiang and then quickly ran out.
She needs to talk to her husband about her big discovery.
Zhuang Qingxiang wanted to call out to Sun Yongxian but didn't have time, and felt a little annoyed.
She has to go out tomorrow, hoping that Sun Yongxian can stay for another day, since she can't take the child out with her.
"This Teacher Sun is so impulsive." Lu Congyue shook his head and took Xiao Donghua from her arms again. "I'll hold the child. You go and eat first."
Zhuang Qingxiang nodded and quickly ate her meal, as she still had to prepare food for the children afterward.
"Eat slowly, I'll make the child's meal." After Lu Congyue finished speaking, he carried Xiao Donghua to the kitchen to cook vegetable porridge.
Zhuang Qingxiang went into the house to look at her honest son, smiled and kissed him twice before starting to eat lunch.
Lu Congyue's lunch was Zhuang Qingxiang's leftovers. While he was eating, Zhuang Qingxiang fed the two children, one bite each.
Looking at her children, who had become thinner after weaning, she sighed with heartache. If it weren't for her accident, both children would still be able to drink milk now.
Lu Congyue knew what she was thinking and said, "I asked someone to buy milk powder in Beijing and Shanghai. Once it's ready, it will be sent over so the children can drink it for a while longer."
"Give it to Donghua, Chenglin doesn't need it," Zhuang Qingxiang quickly said.
Milk powder is precious and can't even be bought in the county. How could Cheng Lin possibly steal Donghua's food rations?
Lu Congyue didn't like hearing this and said in a deep voice, "Both children drink, it's not like I can't afford it. Besides, they are both our children, we can't favor one over the other."
Zhuang Qingxiang felt a lump in her throat and quickly lowered her eyes to hide the emotions in them.
I hope he can keep his word and raise her to adulthood just like he raised Donghua...
"Go get some sleep, I'll watch the baby." Lu Congyue was still worried; her face looked terrible. "I'll call you when I go to work."
Zhuang Qingxiang nodded and went back to her room to sleep.
Lu Congyue checked the time and called her twice when it was almost time for work. He didn't ask her to get up, but put the two children next to her and said softly, "They should go to sleep too. You can lull them to sleep and then get some sleep yourself."
After saying that, he kissed her forehead with great reluctance.
Zhuang Qingxiang felt unwell all over, so she hugged the children to her side and fell asleep herself while coaxing them to sleep.
I woke up again to the sound of my child making noise.
Zhuang Qingxiang got up to change the diapers for the two children, but her head felt so heavy that she almost fell over. She touched her forehead and found it was burning hot.
She felt upset and angry, and wanted to cry.
She was detained and questioned before, and then taken to the police station. She was fine and healthy for so many days. How come she fell ill at such a crucial time?
Looking at the two innocent little babies, Zhuang Qingxiang couldn't help but cry. As if by telepathy, Xiao Chenglin reached out and touched her face, as if to comfort her.
Zhuang Qingxiang hugged her son and cried, her whole body trembling.
When Lu Congyue returned from get off work, Zhuang Qingxiang had calmed down, but she looked even more haggard, and her eyes were swollen.
Lu Congyue frowned and reached out to touch her forehead without saying a word.
"You're sick!" he concluded. "I'll go call Shi Peiran over!"
Zhuang Qingxiang reluctantly grabbed his sleeve: "You watch the child, I'll go to the infirmary. Don't trouble Dr. Shi to run around."
Lu Congyue was unwilling to agree. She was already so sick, what was wrong with making a doctor come?
"Yueyue, you stay with your mother, I'll go call your Uncle Shi over." Lu Congyue made a quick decision.
Little Qian Yue stood by the kang (a heated brick bed), looking worried: "Mom, are you feeling unwell? Yue Yue will give you a kiss, and a kiss will make you feel better."
Zhuang Qingxiang forced a smile, leaned closer, and let the little girl kiss her forehead twice.
She used to use this to soothe her children, but now that the children are using it to soothe her, it feels... quite comforting.
When Shi Peiran was brought back by Lu Congyue, Zhuang Qingxiang realized that this was a good opportunity to make her demands.
