Chapter 4141

Su Xinghui had originally prepared to buy Liao Xiaoyan a new mobile phone, but Liao Xiaoyan refused to take a new one no matter what. In the end, she took the Hanhai second-generation mobile phone that Lu Xiaoya had used to school. This Hanhai second-generation mobile phone was not outdated to use now, and for Liao Xiaoyan, it was just right.

When Zhai Yingjie sent Liao Xiaoyan to school, he helped her complete all the procedures, including helping her apply for a mobile phone card in the capital. After she changed to the new mobile phone card, she called Su Xinghui, so Su Xinghui saved her new mobile phone number. He also told Liao Xiaoyan to call him if she had anything.

By September, Lu Xiaoya's belly was even bigger. To prevent any accidents, Su Xinghui helped her apply for maternity leave and let her go home to rest. Of course, he still had to accompany Lu Xiaoya to the courtyard every afternoon for a walk; appropriate activity could make her delivery smoother.

The results of Lu Xiaoya's regular prenatal checkups in the hospital also showed that the two children she was carrying were both healthy and developing very well, and the expected date of delivery was less than a month away, which made everyone very happy.

Liao Xiaoyan also called back almost every day to ask when Auntie Lu would give birth to the babies. She would come to Linshan to visit Auntie and the babies then. Su Xinghui told her to study with peace of mind in school and not to return to Linshan then. The capital was too far from Linshan, and it was inconvenient to come back.

However, Liao Xiaoyan insisted on coming back, so Su Xinghui could only promise her, saying he would let Zhai Yingjie pick her up then.

Every time Su Xinghui asked Liao Xiaoyan how her school life was, Liao Xiaoyan would say very happily that the school was very good, the teachers were good to her, and her classmates were also very good to her, which made Su Xinghui feel more at ease.

Because Lu Xiaoya was about to give birth, Su Xinghui put most of his energy into his family during this period. However, the work in the municipal government didn't fall behind; Xing Guodong, Gao Yuquan, and Weng Jingyao took the initiative to shoulder the heavy affairs of the municipal government.

Especially the social engagements for receiving investors were basically shared by them, so Su Xinghui was able to go home on time every day after work to accompany Lu Xiaoya.

Su Xinghui had also learned a lesson when Lu Xiaoya gave birth to Niuniu. He must accompany Lu Xiaoya every day to make her feel happy, so that she would give birth much more smoothly, and the possibility of suffering from postpartum depression after giving birth would not be high.

Of course, Lu Xiaoya herself had the experience of giving birth, and women like Zheng Hong, Gu Fanghua, and Weng Jingyao's wife often came to the house to talk to Lu Xiaoya and chat with her, passing on some experience to her, which also made her feel more confident.

In mid-September, Song Qiaoli came to Linshan City from the capital. She knew that her daughter's expected date of delivery was only half a month away, so she couldn't sit still in the capital no matter what. She had to be by her daughter's side.

Song Qiaoli's status was extraordinary now, so even if she didn't want to, she was surrounded by a large group of people, all kinds of staff, who escorted Song Qiaoli to Linshan City together, which made Linshan City feel like it was facing a great enemy. The municipal leaders headed by Qian Jian'an held a welcoming ceremony for Song Qiaoli in the suburbs.

Even Yanbei Province sent relevant leaders to accompany Song Qiaoli to Linshan City. However, Song Qiaoli also clearly indicated to them that she came to Linshan City this time for private matters and didn't want them to accompany her too much. They were also very sensible, and after inviting Song Qiaoli to a meal, they didn't follow Song Qiaoli anymore.

After Song Qiaoli arranged for the staff who accompanied her to Linshan to stay at the Municipal Government Guesthouse, she moved into Su Xinghui's home herself.

Song Qiaoli brought many things this time, large and small bags, all of which were things she brought for the child in Lu Xiaoya's belly, food, daily necessities, and toys, which made Lu Xiaoya exclaim that the house couldn't hold them anymore. Friends had already sent quite a few last time; how could they use them all?

However, others' gifts could be refused, but Grandma's gifts had to be accepted. Therefore, Su Xinghui cleaned up another room specifically to put these things brought by Song Qiaoli. So many things were enough for a year or two.

That night, Song Qiaoli ate dinner at Su Xinghui's home. Here, of course, she ate Hudong-style dishes. Now the nanny Qin Hongmei had also been trained by Guo Suhua and could cook a hand of Hudong dishes.

Song Qiaoli tasted a few bites of the dishes and said with satisfaction, "Sigh, I haven't eaten such authentic hometown dishes for a long time. Your nanny is really good. She wasn't invited from Hudong, was she?"

Guo Suhua smiled and said, "In-law, this nanny is not from Hudong, she is a local from Linshan. The Hudong dishes she cooks now were taught to her by me."

Song Qiaoli said in surprise, "That's really not simple. These Hudong flavors are quite authentic."

Guo Suhua said, "There was no other way. After Xiaoya became pregnant, her appetite wasn't very good, and she wanted to eat Hudong dishes, so I taught the nanny to cook Hudong dishes hand by hand until she learned them. At first, they weren't very authentic, but later they became more and more authentic. Now Xiaoya eats very happily."

Song Qiaoli said with emotion, "In-law, you treat Xiaoya too well, thank you! Xiaoya was spoiled at home and caused you trouble!"

Guo Suhua said, "In-law, what are you saying? Xiaoya is also one of our family, and she is pregnant, so isn't it right for us to treat her well? Besides, Xiaoya is not spoiled at all. She does everything. Before she was pregnant, she took care of our whole family."

Song Qiaoli said, "That is also what she should do; she is the housewife of the family."

This was Song Qiaoli's style. Although her status was extraordinary now, she was still the housewife of the family. She had never liked hiring nannies; she did what she could do herself. This was a typical traditional Chinese woman.

Su Xinghui smiled and said, "Mom, if you think the dishes are delicious, eat more."

Song Qiaoli nodded and said, "Hmm, I have to eat more. At noon, I really didn't eat enough. In front of so many people, I had to keep up a facade and maintain my status, which was too tiring."

At noon, Song Qiaoli ate with those provincial and municipal leaders. Her status was different now. In front of these officials, no matter how approachable she was, she still had to keep up a facade. Some people were like monkeys; if you were too good to them, they would climb up the pole.

And Song Qiaoli had to remain reserved in front of everyone. She couldn't eat and drink at the banquet like a village woman who had never seen the world, right? Therefore, she only tasted each dish slightly. Although the banquet was full of delicacies, she didn't eat much.

Lu Xiaoya said, "Mom, if you live at home, just be casual. Eat what you want to eat, drink what you want to drink, don't worry about so much."

Song Qiaoli nodded and smiled. Living at her in-law's home, she could naturally be casual.

Song Qiaoli lived in Su Xinghui's home. Su Xinghui's home had many rooms, so he arranged a room downstairs for her to avoid going up and down the stairs. The courtyard of this villa also had a lot of space, and the environment was elegant, so Song Qiaoli also had a place for activities every day, so living here was quite comfortable.

Originally, she also thought about playing around Linshan, but now with her status, no matter where she went, she had to mobilize the masses, and a large group of staff had to follow behind her, so it was boring to play. She simply didn't go anywhere and lived in Su Xinghui's home.

In Su Xinghui's home, those staff couldn't follow her.

Lu Xiaoya could only live with her parents for about ten days every year. This time Song Qiaoli came, she could be with her mother day and night, which made her mood even more comfortable. She walked around the courtyard with Song Qiaoli every day, and could watch TV and eat together every day, which was a great happiness for her.

Lu Xiaoya was not a woman with great ambition or vanity. She valued family affection the most in her life, and her greatest happiness was being able to be with her family every day.

Although she was born in such a special family, which destined her not to live the life of an ordinary person, she could still seize every opportunity to enjoy the family happiness of an ordinary person.

Such a woman was exactly the kind of woman Su Xinghui needed, who could silently support him behind his back and become his wise helper. Therefore, behind every successful man, there must be a great woman, and Lu Xiaoya was the great woman behind Su Xinghui.
