Chapter 221 How considerate!
Despite being pregnant and giving birth, Qiao An's breasts didn't grow much.
It's just that we moved from B to C.
She doesn't like wearing shapewear, so she asks Mo Yuxuan to buy her wire-free bras, which are comfortable and not tight.
I just don't know what to do with my old B-cup bras.
After getting dressed, Huo Jiyun carried Qiao An outside.
Because it was a natural birth, Joan quickly recovered some of her energy.
While the sun is still up and the temperature is still warm, take advantage of the opportunity.
Huo Jiyun wrapped Qiao An up tightly and carried her into the jeep.
He drove Joan home.
As soon as I carried Joan into the house, the children surrounded me.
Huo Fang, however, had a sharp eye and immediately noticed that Qiao An's stomach was flat.
"Second Aunt! You gave birth! You had a baby?" Huo Fang circled around Qiao An.
Before Qiao An could answer, Huo Jiyun spoke up for her, "Yes, your second aunt gave birth to twin little girls, so you'll have two little sisters now."
Huo Chen clenched his little hands, his whole body trembling with excitement, "I...I'm going to be a big brother again!"
These days, Huo Chen, Huo Ning, and Wen Xiaoxiao have been wondering whether their mother will have a younger brother or a younger sister.
The three of them would often get together to discuss things.
The final conclusion was that all three of them wanted a younger sister.
My little sister is so wonderful! She's so soft and cute, and I can dress her up like a doll in the future.
When I heard it today, it turned out to be two younger sisters.
Everyone was so happy they stomped their feet on the spot.
"That's great! That's great! My two little sisters!" Huo Ning said, holding Wen Xiaoxiao's hand.
"We can play house with our sister from now on."
Wen Xiaoxiao held up the toy in her hand, "Yes, I can give the toy to them to play with."
Joan looked at the three little ones and couldn't help but laugh; they really did look like older brothers and sisters.
"Keep your voices down, you lot. Mom just gave birth and is very weak. She needs to rest, so you can't disturb her."
Huo Jiyun put Qiao An on the kang (a heated brick bed) in the inner room and covered her with a quilt.
"Sister Su, I've already told them. We're just waiting for you to give birth."
"I'll go tell her that I'll come to your house to take care of you tomorrow."
Joanne nodded. "Okay."
"I'm a little sleepy, I want to take a nap."
"Okay, lie down now."
Huo Jiyun placed a pillow behind her head and helped her lie down.
He only left after seeing that Qiao An was asleep.
"Mom is asleep, so please keep your voices down, okay?" Huo Jiyun whispered.
The children nodded repeatedly and tiptoed back to their rooms.
Huo Jiyun then went out of the house and into the backyard.
Su Xiulan was also queuing up for a medical appointment at the hospital today.
I heard some rumors about Joanne, but those rumors were shattered the moment she gave birth to twins.
She lived in the backyard of Qiao An's house, and they saw each other all the time. Qiao An was kind and gentle, and her children were well-educated.
Moreover, it was Qiao An who brought freeze-dried vegetables and dried goods from the south, which improved the lives of people in the compound.
Su Xiulan didn't believe what Lin Wan and the others said at all, so as soon as she saw Huo Jiyun come to the house, she took the initiative to speak.
"Commander Huo, I told Guisheng when I got home this afternoon that I'll be going to your house tomorrow to take care of Qiao An during her postpartum period."
"Sister Su, I came here to talk to you about this." Huo Jiyun sat down.
"Your salary will remain the same as we originally agreed. You can have lunch at our house. Qiao An is quite particular about food; she uses rice, flour, cooking oil, and the like as needed. You don't need to skimp on them."
"The child will probably have to stay in the hospital for a while longer. It will be hard on you when we bring the child home."
Su Xiulan waved her hand, "It's alright, I've taken care of many children, so don't worry. Qiao An, you can rest assured even more."
"If it weren't for her, I would never have had the chance to eat things from the southern sea. They're so fresh."
After exchanging a few words, Huo Jiyun went home to prepare dinner for Qiao An.
His thinking was simple: if Su Xiulan did a good job at home this month and got along well with Qiao An, he could let Su Xiulan help out at home for a long time.
This way, Joanne can free up her hands to do what she wants to do.
She is a very capable woman and should not be confined by her family.
In the evening, Huo Jiyun steamed egg custard for Qiao An, made stir-fried green beans with shredded pork, braised eggplant, and yam with wood ear mushrooms, and finally cooked a pot of millet porridge.
When Joan woke up, she smelled the aroma of food.
She left some freeze-dried vegetables and meat in the kitchen, just in case Huo Jiyun went into the kitchen and found nothing there, which might arouse suspicion.
Just as Qiao An was about to get down, Huo Jiyun stopped her.
"Don't move!" Huo Jiyun said, and then magically produced a small kang table from the living room.
"Where...where did this come from?" Joan asked with a smile.
"I made it." Huo Jiyun chuckled. "I've heard that you should try not to get out of bed for the first few days after giving birth, so I've already prepared a small dining table for you."
"Call me if you need to go to the bathroom at night, and I'll carry you there."
Qiao An was initially very touched, but upon hearing the last sentence, she blushed deeply.
Huo Jiyun put down the kang table and began serving dishes to Qiao An.
The small table was covered with food.
Finally, he brought over a large bowl and sat down at the desk opposite the kang (heated brick bed). Qiao An looked up and saw that his large bowl contained all sorts of dishes.
"I'll eat with you in this room."
"Um."
Qiao An ate slowly and deliberately; she had only eaten half of her meal when Huo Jiyun finished.
"I told Sister Su that I'll come to your house tomorrow. Don't worry about the child. I'll go to the hospital after get off work tomorrow."
"Also, you can observe what Sister Su is like these days. If you think she's suitable, you can keep asking her for help. Once you're out of confinement, you can do whatever you want. I'll take care of things at home, so you don't have to worry about anything."
Huo Jiyun spoke as casually as usual, but Qiao An felt a warm current flow through her heart as she listened.
Actually, she was gambling when she chose Huo Jiyun, but she never expected that she would win the gamble.
Huo Jiyun is indeed an exceptionally good man, even a million times better than described in the novel.
"Thank you," Joan said earnestly, putting down her chopsticks.
Huo Jiyun was taken aback, then scratched his head, "We're husband and wife, why are you thanking me?"
Having said that, Huo Jiyun pursed her lips, but couldn't help asking, "An'an, do you think couples should have secrets between them?"
This question left Qiao An speechless.
What secret is he referring to?
Did he discover that this Joan was not the same Joan? Or did he know that he possessed a spatial ability?
"What...what do you mean?" Joan asked nervously.
"It's nothing. I just hope that one day, you can trust me completely."
A barely perceptible hint of grievance flashed in Huo Jiyun's eyes. "Of course, I know it's hard to trust someone, I understand, so just pretend I was..."
"Huo Jiyun," Qiao An suddenly spoke up, "Actually, I wanted to tell you a long time ago, but I was afraid you wouldn't be able to accept it."
What's so unacceptable about it?
He can accept his wife killing a wild boar by herself, and he can also accept that his wife has her own little world.
Huo Jiyun considered himself to be a knowledgeable person.
He didn't believe that Joan had any secrets he couldn't accept.
"After I finish my postpartum confinement, I'll take you somewhere."
After saying that, Qiao An breathed a sigh of relief.
