Fang Hong looked at Fang Xiu and laughed, “Didn’t Qin Xue just have a baby? She asked me to come over and share the news with you and everyone at home. Are you cooking or doing business?”
“Just finished cooking, now we’re open for business.” Fang Hong replied with a smile.
“You said Qin Xue gave birth. A boy or a girl?” Fang Xiu was relieved after expecting for so long.
“Two boys, isn’t that lucky? Hahaha.” Fang Hong laughed after finishing her sentence. Having sons is not something people would disapprove of. She was genuinely happy for Qin Xue.
“Really! Fantastic! No way, I have to add an extra dish to celebrate. Have you eaten? If not, join us.” Fang Xiu was heartsick for Qin Xue. She had to add a dish to express her excited feelings.
“No, I just ate before coming here. And honestly, I wouldn’t be able to eat anything now either.” Fang Hong had been suffering from severe morning sickness lately, vomiting out everything she ate. This has made Mr. Xie very worried, but besides worrying, there was nothing he could do. The word of his wife was law, he had to obey.
“What’s wrong with you? It’s only been a little while since we last met, and you’ve lost so much weight? Is work too exhausting?” Fang Xiu questioned, looking at Fang Hong’s somewhat pale face.
“No, not at all, it’s just that I don’t have an appetite, which resulted in this.” Fang Hong felt this pregnancy was harder than the first one. However, being busy with work made her feel more fulfilled than before.
“No appetite? Losing weight? Hong sister, is it turning out as you wished?” After muttering for a while, Fang Xiu suddenly asked with excitement.
“Yes, I am two months pregnant.” Fang Hong gently rubbed her barely noticeable bump and smiled tenderly.
“Congratulations! All news today has been good news. I need to celebrate more. Come in, let me cook a dish for you. You’ll definitely love it.” Fang Xiu pulled Fang Hong into the house. Jing Xin had already returned to her unit, so only Jingtao was in the house.
“Taotao, say hello to auntie.” Fang Hong also liked Jingtao very much.
“Auntie.” Jingtao’s pronunciation was much clearer now, but he still couldn’t articulate long sentences.
“How considerate! Hasn’t Mr. Jing come back yet?” After asking, Fang Hong felt she asked a silly question.
Even if Jing Xin came back at night, he still had to return to the unit for training early in the morning.
“No, it was too tiring for him to travel back and forth, so I told him to move into the dormitory there.” Fang Xiu shook her head.
“Why don’t you apply to live in the family house as well?” Fang Hong thought that if Fang Xiu also moved to the unit, it would be convenient for their future gatherings.
“Jing Xin has mentioned this issue before, but I heard that family housing is in high demand now, we don’t know if we can get one.” Fang Xiu was accustomed to living here with her son. But Jing Xin was not happy, wondering why he had to suffer alone when he has a wife and child.
So he applied for housing, although they haven’t received any confirmation just yet.
“Is that so? Don’t worry, I heard that Mr. Jing is very meritorious, he should have the priority for housing accommodation.” Fang Hong also learnt about Jing Xin’s contributions from Mr. Xie.
“Anyway, I’m indifferent about it. I think it’s nice for my son and me to live here.” Fang Xiu found comfort in the small but cozy place, which had offered her warmth when she was helpless.
“The issue is not about what you care or not, you should consider Mr. Jing. He already works so hard at Bao Country. Now he also has to worry about you and your son. If given a choice, he would certainly prefer to have his family around, don’t you agree?” Fang Hong expressed her feelings earnestly to Fang Xiu.
“I understand, Hong sister. If he can successfully apply for a house, I will move there with him. How’s that?” Fang Xiu agreed. She didn’t insist on living separately. If possible, she would also prefer to reunite with her family.
