Chapter 415: 368 Xiaonian had an accident
Xiaofeng brought over a basin, placed the clothes inside it, and went to the kitchen to fetch some hot water.
Scalding with boiling water is the simplest and most convenient form of disinfection.
She poured the hot water into the basin and left it in the washroom to soak for a while, and would wash it out and hang it to dry later.
"Scald it a couple more times," Chu Qing said as she saw her come out, "I’ll have Yu Ma toast them over a fire later, otherwise, with this weather, it’s very hard for them to dry outside."
"Alright," Xiaofeng sat down and took Erbao from Chu Qing’s hands, "Godmother, these past few days have been trouble for you with Erbao at home. Without you, I couldn’t have gone wherever I wanted in the Imperial Capital."
Having two babies on your hands is like being tied down by the thighs, going anywhere requires extra consideration, of course it’s different with and without someone to look after them.
Someone taking care of them definitely makes one more at ease, and you won’t feel worried when going places.
"You child, what silly things you’re saying. You call me godmother, it’s only right that I do these things," Chu Qing said as she started to tidy up Dabao, "Besides, the children are still young, and you definitely won’t feel reassured relying on outsiders for everything. Anyway, it’s the start of the year, and I don’t have much going on, so staying home and looking after the kids is quite nice."
As she spoke, Chu Qing paused with her hands for a moment, "You and Ye Cheng have a long road ahead, and it can’t be walked alone by just one person, it requires the efforts of both. Do you have any plans? I don’t think you should go back to the countryside, you better just settle down in the Imperial Capital. I could have your godfather find you a job, and you can rest assured, it would definitely be a dignified and well-paying one. You’re Acheng’s wife, so the work can’t be too lowly, at least it must be presentable. In this way, it’ll look good for the Gu Family, and both you and Acheng won’t find it tiring to get along, wouldn’t you agree?"
Xiaofeng was well aware of the considerations Chu Qing had for her, and she was truly grateful, "Godmother, I understand what you mean. You want me to become better, to better stand by Ye Cheng’s side. He is to be the future Family Head of the Gu Family, meant to succeed Mr. Gu’s position. The woman who stands beside him must be exceptional, like you, like my mother-in-law."
This was also the reason she initially didn’t want to come to the Imperial Capital. Whether in terms of career or family background, she was too different from Ye Cheng.
"Xiaofeng, your godmother has no intention of looking down on you. I just think that if two people want to stay together for the long term, inevitably one person has to make sacrifices. You’re still young, and everything can be worked towards for the better, right? Just give the word about what direction you want to develop in, and either your godmother or Ye Cheng can arrange it for you." In Chu Qing’s view, if Xiaofeng truly wanted to make something of herself, just a word from either Yecheng or herself would suffice. It wouldn’t even be about arranging a high position, just a glamorous and undemanding job, there were still many of those.
"Godmother, I do have an idea, but from your perspective, it might seem somewhat dishonorable," Xiaofeng said. In the views of people from this era, business was only an option for those who were laid off or who went into private enterprise.
"You’re still considering the path of business?"
Xiaofeng smiled, "I’ve discovered that aside from my ability to earn money, my other skills are really quite ordinary."
She didn’t want to always depend on Ye Cheng. A woman should always have her own realm.
"It’s good that you have your own ideas," Chu Qing initially wanted Xiaofeng to work in an office, looking glamorous and fresh, but if Xiaofeng had her own thoughts, that was of course even better.
"Have you called your mom yet? You’ve been here for a few days already. The children have been away from her for several days, she must be missing them." Chu Qing hurriedly changed the subject, worried that if the conversation continued, Xiaofeng might overthink things.
"I called the day I arrived, indeed, I have not called home for two days."
"Give her a call, especially as both kids are awake now," Chu Qing urged her.
Xiaofeng picked up the phone and called home.
He Ximei and Guaizi had already returned to the countryside. In her words, it was too quiet in the city without the grandchildren around, and the countryside was much more lively.
Learning that the twins were adapting well in the Imperial Capital, He Ximei’s tears streamed out instantly, "Those heartless little things, not even missing their grandmother, I’ve missed them terribly."
Guaizi, seeing her like this, quickly took over the phone, "Feng, don’t listen to her, she’s just got some grit in her eye. Just focus on doing well with Acheng over there, and don’t worry about home."
Xiaofeng, hearing Guaizi’s words, curled the corners of her mouth slightly, "Alright, you two take good care of yourselves at home."
Watching Xiaofeng hang up the phone, Chu Qing couldn’t help feeling envious of Xiaofeng’s family, "Your mom must be missing the kids, and your dad too, it sounds like he doesn’t want you to go back."
