Chapter 296 Being a Mother is Not Easy
"I haven't even graduated yet, what am I going to spend money on? Do I need these things?"
After becoming a mother, Teacher Li gained a lot of weight. In just two or three years, the change was enormous.
"You said you wouldn't come, and I was looking forward to your coming, but you guys always buy things and spend money, so I don't want you to come anymore."
He Shu didn't know how to explain for a moment, so Xia Miao went over and hugged Teacher Li and acted coquettishly: "I've already bought it, just this once."
Then she squatted down to look at the baby in Teacher Li's family. The little girl was round all over, and her arms and legs were like snow-white lotus roots.
The little face is also round and chubby , so cute that you can't help but want to pinch it.
"Oh, you're so cute." Xia Miao reached out and tentatively touched the little girl's face: "What's your name?"
Teacher Li's baby is not afraid of strangers. He showed his cute little teeth and said, "Little girl."
Xiao Niuniu's voice was also super cute, and He Shu, who was standing next to her, had the urge to pick her up and cherish her.
"Stop standing outside and go inside."
Xia Miao picked up little Niuniu first, and Teacher Li had to help He Shu carry the things.
While walking home, she kept complaining about the two of them spending money recklessly.
The air conditioner in the room has been turned on and the temperature is set to a suitable level so that people don't feel hot or cold all of a sudden.
Letting He Shu and Xia Miao sit by themselves, Teacher Li hurried to pour herbal tea and get some fruit.
During this period, Xia Miao and He Shu were teasing little Niuniu.
"Oh my, children grow up so fast. He was just a baby before, but it feels like he has grown up all of a sudden."
Teacher Li came out with tea and said with a smile: "From an outsider's perspective, it seems like you have grown up all of a sudden, but only when you become a mother do you know how difficult it is to endure every day and night."
After sitting down, Teacher Li looked at He Shu with a look of satisfaction: "He Shu is much stronger than before."
He Shu smiled shyly: "Well, now I can keep up with the exercise and eating."
"That's great. You guys also said that Niuniu is growing fast. When I look at you, I also feel that you have suddenly grown from little kids to big girls and boys."
The three of them talked about their current situations. He Shu didn't tell the teacher that he had gotten into trouble and gone to jail, and Xia Miao didn't mention it either.
This was what the two of them had discussed before coming here. Don't tell Teacher Li about those things. They are all in the past. There is no need to make the teacher worry about things that have already passed.
The little girl's full name is Chen Yuanxi, a very nice name, and she is now in kindergarten.
Teacher Li said helplessly that she and her husband were busy with work and there was no one to take care of the child during work, so she sent the child there so early.
Niu Niu is not even three years old and she is the youngest in the kindergarten. Fortunately, she has strong self-care ability. She knows to tell the teacher when she goes to the toilet and can also eat with a spoon by herself.
After hearing this, Xia Miao felt a little distressed. She hugged Xiao Niuniu in her arms and couldn't help but kiss her.
I played with little Niuniu at Teacher Li's house for the whole afternoon. When they were about to leave, little Niuniu was very reluctant to leave and even started crying.
He Shu, Xia Miao told her that she would come to visit her often in the future, and Teacher Li hugged her and coaxed her for a while before she stopped crying.
This made Teacher Li feel embarrassed, and he said with a smile that nowadays there is basically only one child in a family, and it is too lonely.
After leaving Teacher Li's house, Xia Miao sat in the car and suddenly said, "Teacher Li's life is not easy either."
He Shu nodded silently. There was no one to help take care of the children and he still had to go to work. Teacher Li was such a responsible teacher and he must be very tired.
No wonder she looks much more haggard than before she gave birth.
"Shall I take you home?" He Shu asked.
Xia Miao looked at the time and it was getting late, so she nodded.
"What are you going to do during the rest of the holiday? I still have relatives to visit."
Xia Miao said helplessly: "I have too many relatives."
He Shu smiled and said, "Having many relatives is not good. It's so lively. You go visit relatives, and I will do my homework at home. I can help out at my godfather's car shop when I have nothing else to do."
After sending Xia Miao home, Xia Miao invited He Shu to sit at her home for a while.
He Shu felt unprepared and quickly refused.
Seeing this, Xia Miao didn't force him. The two of them stayed in the car for a while before getting out and going home.
Back at the car wash, it was almost time for dinner.
He Shu parked the car and saw that there was not much work in the dealership. Aunt Liu and the others were packing up and getting ready to go off work.
Now that her daughter-in-law is pregnant, Aunt Liu has to go home after get off work every day to cook for her son and daughter-in-law, so she is very busy all day.
But she was happy to be busy, looking forward to having a grandson in the future, so she felt it was worth it no matter how tired she was.
After Aunt Liu and the others left, my godfather asked Brother Dong to lock the door and go home for dinner together.
It seemed that Brother Dong didn't want to go. He stammered that he had a date in the evening. Zhao Qishui was so angry that he ignored him and went home with He Shu.
He Shu still felt a little guilty about not lending money to Brother Xiao Dong. After all, Brother Xiao Dong was very nice to him.
He turned his head while sitting in the car and saw Brother Xiao Dong lighting a cigarette on the street.
Although it only flashed by, He Shu felt that the figure at that moment looked a little pitiful?
"Godfather, how about I lend some money to Brother Xiaodong?"
"Do you think I didn't lend him the money? It's only been a short time since he started dating that girl. He has already advanced me several months' salary."
Zhao Qishui snorted, "This kid is too naive. If that girl is really with him, how can I not support her? I'm just afraid that in the end she won't be really with him and her money will be defrauded."
He Shu didn't say anything else after hearing this. He just felt that Liu Ying was not a good match for Brother Dong.
But love is blind, right? Just like he still doesn't understand why Xia Miao likes him so much? Why does she like him?
Xiao Dong was standing on the street next to the car dealership, a cheap cigarette .
He searched his pockets and found several dozen dollars in them.
He took out his cell phone and called Liu Ying, but Liu Ying was busy.
After walking for a distance, I took the bus to the hair salon where Liu Ying worked.
It was rush hour after get off work, the bus was crowded, and there was no air conditioning. It felt like being trapped in a steamer.
In addition to your own sweat, there is also other people's sweat on your body.
Fortunately, it was only two stops away and they arrived at the station quickly. Xiao Dong got off the bus, took a breath, and came to the door of the hair salon.
There were two customers getting their hair cut in the shop at that moment. The boss and the apprentice were busy, and Liu Ying was also chatting happily there.
She was wearing a sequined halter dress today. When she moved slightly, the sequins on the dress flashed in the light.
This skirt was bought for her by Xiao Dong, and it cost her more than a hundred dollars.
Xiao Dong entered the hair salon, and Liu Ying came over: "Why are you here? Didn't I say I was busy in the shop?"
"It's okay. Just do your thing. Shall we go have dinner later?"
Liu Ying looked back at her boss and said, "We'll be busy until very late. There will be people coming to get their hair permed later. I don't think we'll be done until eight or nine o'clock."
