Chapter 195: Chapter 195: Going on a Trip
Father Qin finished speaking and didn’t wait for Mother Qin’s response. He directly looked at Qin Xiao and said, "Xiao, arrange the travel itinerary for us. The itinerary should be comfortable and not too tiring for your mom and me!
As soon as your Uncle Jiang’s matters are settled, your mom and I will set off."
Qin Xiao nodded, "Okay, got it."
And just like that, the matter was decided.
Mother Qin was a bit bewildered by Father Qin’s sudden arrangement and said, "Old Qin, isn’t deciding to go just like that a bit rash?"
Father Qin replied, "How is it just like that? How is it rash?
I didn’t ask you to come with me right away, and our son is arranging the itinerary, why? Don’t you trust your son’s arrangements?"
Mother Qin shook her head, "No, let’s do as you say."
Satisfied with the response, Father Qin then got up to make tea at the tea table.
After Father Qin left, Xiao Li said, "Mom, you should really go out with Dad and have fun, it’s been years since you went out."
The last time Father Qin and Mother Qin went out by themselves was during Qin Xiao and Xiao Li’s flash wedding.
In the past couple of years, they only occasionally went out with Qin Xiao and Xiao Li’s family, or with Qin Tan’s family.
He Jie also smiled and said, "Yes, Mom, you should go have fun with Dad."
Mother Qin nodded, "I didn’t say I wouldn’t go! It’s just that your dad is always so spur-of-the-moment, I wonder if he will change his mind when the time comes?"
There was a time before when Mother Qin wanted to go out, packed all the luggage, but Father Qin didn’t want to go anymore.
Making tea by the side, Father Qin declared, "This time, we’re definitely going!"
Mother Qin laughed along with Xiao Li and the others after hearing that.
After lunch, on the way home, Xiao Li suddenly asked Qin Xiao, "Uncle, are you busy in the lab these days?"
Qin Xiao simply replied, "It’s okay, not busy, why?"
Xiao Li smiled and said, "In half a month, Mianmian will start her vacation. Let’s take her and Xiaoli out for a trip this summer.
Next year, Mianmian has to start school at the clan school, and she won’t have summer or winter breaks then.
While she still has a long vacation this year, let’s take her out for some real fun."
Earlier at Mother Qin’s place, Xiao Li and He Jie had a little chat. Xiao Shi started at the clan school last year, and He Jie said it’s quite tiring.
However, now He Jie doesn’t get upset with Qin Tan over Xiao Shi attending the clan school anymore.
After the incident abroad with Qin Tan, He Jie realized the importance of self-protection.
This year, not only Xiao Shi went to the clan school, but even He Jie returned to the old house to receive special training from Qin Tan.
After hearing from He Jie that Mianmian would have little time to play once she started at the clan school next year, Xiao Li was determined to take her out for some great fun.
Besides, going out would not only make Mianmian happy but also allow her to handle things more conveniently!
Xiao Li thought secretly to herself!
Qin Xiao nodded, "Okay, do you have any places in mind?"
Xiao Li thought for a moment, "Let’s go to a coastal city!
Mianmian can play on the beach."
Yes, the beach, the paradise of bikinis!
Hehehe...
I’m going all out!
Qin Xiao thought for a moment, then said, let’s go to Sea City; we have a family resort there.
Xiao Li nodded, "Great, great!"
While talking, the two of them arrived home.
After returning home and taking a nap, Xiao Li went back to the hospital to see Feng Qing.
Inside the ward, Feng Qing was resting, with Huo Zhi watching by her side, and the maternity nurse changing the baby’s diaper.
Xiao Li walked in and, seeing Feng Qing asleep, first went over to the crib to see the child.
When Feng Qing was four months pregnant, Huo Zhi’s first love ex-girlfriend returned.
So for the remaining months of her pregnancy, Feng Qing had been in an emotionally unstable state, which affected her appetite, and she hadn’t been eating well.
With Feng Qing eating less, the child in her womb didn’t grow well either. The baby was full-term, but only weighed five pounds.
Xiao Li looked at the child and then at Huo Zhi, "Seeing the child, do you feel sorry?"
Huo Zhi pursed his lips, "I didn’t take good care of them."
Xiao Li chuckled slightly, "Did you call Feng Qing’s mother?"
Huo Zhi shook his head, "Last night I said I would call her, but Qing didn’t agree."
Xiao Li secretly thought as expected.
Despite having a child together, Feng Qing and Huo Zhi still weren’t married, nor had they even met the parents.
Initially, Huo Zhi didn’t want to go, thinking that meeting the parents without the certainty of marriage wasn’t good.
Because of Huo Zhi’s reluctance, Feng Qing hadn’t even told her parents about her relationship.
By the time their relationship stabilized, Feng Qing accidentally got pregnant, and when Huo Zhi decided to visit the Feng Family, his ex returned.
After the first trip to the Feng Family was interrupted, when Huo Zhi brought it up again, Feng Qing disagreed.
Feng Qing not only opposed Huo Zhi visiting but also refrained from telling her parents about her pregnancy.
Since Huo Zhi’s ex came back and Feng Qing saw how affected Huo Zhi was, she couldn’t shake the feeling that her relationship with Huo Zhi was doomed.
She thought, since their relationship might end, why trouble her parents with the news of Huo Zhi?
Yesterday, after giving birth, when Huo Zhi sought her opinion, she still wasn’t ready to inform her parents.
Xiao Li looked at Huo Zhi, "Huo Zhi, sometimes, certain things should not just be heard.
You need to listen to the real voice in Feng Qing’s heart."
Huo Zhi paused at her words, then quickly understood, "Thank you."
With that, Huo Zhi took Feng Qing’s phone, "I’ll make a call."
Xiao Li nodded slightly.
Huo Zhi went out to make the call, and Xiao Li stayed beside the bed waiting for Feng Qing to wake up.
After a while, Feng Qing woke up with a stomach ache. After giving birth, the uterus needs to recover, and occasional contractions can still be painful for the mother.
Feng Qing winced, and Xiao Li quickly asked, "Crazy woman, does your stomach hurt?"
Upon hearing Xiao Li’s voice, Feng Qing opened her eyes, "Xiao Li, when did you come?"
Xiao Li replied, "I’ve been here a while, waited because you were asleep.
Does it hurt a lot?"
Feng Qing shook her head, "It’s much less painful than when I gave birth."
Looking around the room and not seeing Huo Zhi, Feng Qing’s eyes dimmed a little, seeing this, Xiao Li said, "Huo Zhi is outside on the phone, he’ll be back soon."
Upon hearing this, Feng Qing bitterly smiled, "Probably calling his first love."
As she spoke, tears fell.
Xiao Li handed her tissues to wipe her tears, "No, don’t jump to conclusions.
Postpartum emotions are even more volatile than during pregnancy; you must adjust your mindset to avoid postnatal depression.
Open up and talk openly with Huo Zhi, don’t keep everything to yourself."
Just as Xiao Li finished speaking, Huo Zhi returned from his call, and Xiao Li stood up, checked the sleeping baby, and called the maternity nurse out, leaving the space for the family of three.
