Chapter 1260: What Did Your Sister Go Do?

~5 min read 884 words

The two sisters had already agreed, so Miao Yiqiu said no more, only thinking of the child: "What will happen to Dongdong later? He is still nursing, isn't he?"

Liu Chuxue laughed: "You should ask my sister about this, see what she wants to do."

Miao Yiqiu nodded: "True, look at me, I'm getting senile."

As the two were talking, they heard Xiao Mu's shrill voice: "Who did you fight with? Xiao Changsheng, you are so old, how can you still be fighting?"

Liu Chuxue and Auntie exchanged a glance and hurried together toward the kitchen.

Liu Chuxue, who went in last, casually closed the kitchen door; she really did not want her ears to suffer. Ever since Xiao Mu had a son, her speech had been quite confident; given Xiao Fu's situation today, he probably wouldn't stop talking for a while.

But as soon as the door closed, they heard the two little ones in the room start crying.

In a short while, Xiao Fu was seen carrying Dongdong out and quickly brought him to the kitchen: "When will your sister return?"

Liu Chuxue really couldn't say for sure; she didn't know if the Finance Section would have him officially start work today, or if he would collect labor protection supplies and office supplies, get settled, and officially start work tomorrow. But thinking that the textile factory was only a few stops from home, Xia Qiu would probably come back once: "She should be back in a while."

Xiao Fu, having lost face from his wife's shouting, naturally didn't want to return to the room to listen to her nagging: "What did your sister go do?"

Liu Chuxue wanted to give him a heads-up in advance: "She found a job and went to complete the hiring process today. If you have anything you want to ask, ask her when she returns."

Miao Yiqiu glanced at Liu Chuxue; at first she didn't understand why Liu Chuxue didn't just state it plainly, but after hearing Chunxiao enter the courtyard and shout "I'm back," she understood.

Yes, Liu Chuxue did not plan to let the Xiao family, specifically Xiao Mu and Chunxiao, know that Xia Qiu's job was obtained by swapping her own job, to avoid them morally kidnapping her later.

As for whether Xiao Mu and Chunxiao would guess later, anyway, if she didn't admit it, they had no way to force her.

As soon as Chunxiao reached the kitchen door, she saw Liu Chuxue: "Second Sister is here."

Ever since Liu Chuxue disciplined her last time, she had been much more obedient.

Liu Chuxue only lightly hummed "Mm" and ignored her.

Just as Liu Chuxue expected, Xia Qiu returned in a short while.

Perhaps it was mother-son connection; as soon as Xia Qiu entered the courtyard, the little one Dongdong became restless sitting in Liu Chuxue's arms, twisting his head and looking outside nonstop.

As soon as Xia Qiu reached the kitchen door, the little one pouted his mouth and was about to cry.

Xia Qiu put down what she was holding and quickly reached out to hold him: "Son, don't cry, don't cry."

The little one didn't cry out loud, but his eyes were red.

Seeing him like this, Liu Chuxue couldn't help but feel worried: "Sister, this is just the beginning; look how aggrieved your son is. Can you really bear it?"

Xia Qiu naturally felt extremely heartbroken too: "I wish I could have it both ways, but where is such a good thing? Fortunately, he is already five months old, so we can add some supplementary food; I just don't know if Mom can help over there?"

After speaking, thinking this matter could not wait, she couldn't sit still anymore; holding Dongdong, she went straight into the room where Xiao Mu lived.

At first, they heard Xiao Mu refuse: "How can that work? I don't have that much ability. I can't even take care of your younger brother alone; where would I find time to help you take care of Dongdong?"

Hearing this, Xia Qiu said: "Mom, I won't let you help for free. I'll give you ten yuan a month. After I get off work and come back, I'll take care of him myself. When he gets a bit bigger, if you really can't take care of him, I'll send him to the factory's Yu Hong class. Is that okay?"

Hearing there was money, plus Xia Qiu wouldn't need to worry after getting off work, she finally softened her tone: "But I must make it clear to you; I must prioritize your younger brother. If I can't take care of both, you can't blame me."

Seeing her own mother agree, Xia Qiu said: "You are Junjun's grandmother; how could I not trust you? No matter what, you wouldn't intentionally ignore him. I feel very reassured."

Once the matter was settled, Xiao Mu finally reacted: "Where did you get a job?"

The two sisters had discussed this beforehand; Xia Qiu spoke vaguely: "It just so happened the textile factory had such an opportunity, plus my luck was quite good. Mainly, my household registration can be moved to the city; now Dongdong can move to the city with his mother too, and in the future he will also have a ration quota."
