After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!

958 Not a Mother Yet!

In the evening, Li Gui went to collect the vehicles and money from Zhao Fei while Xia He busied herself in the kitchen. The children’s lesson was also almost coming to an end.

Nowadays, Qiao Mei would feel uncomfortable whenever she caught a whiff of cooking smells. Fortunately, the bangle she usually wore could block out most of these icky smells. Recently, Qiao Mei also realized that as long as she dripped ginseng liquid on the bangle, there would be a nice fragrance of plants around her and she would feel refreshed by the smell. She did not expect this bangle to have so many uses.

At night, everyone had a sumptuous meal. Xia He not only had to prepare food for a family of eight, but an extra portion was needed for the two teachers today. She usually helped Li Gui with cooking the rice and washing and cutting the ingredients. Once Li Gui returned, she could go straight into cooking.

The food that Xia He made could only be described as “appalling”. When one ate the food, one had to decide whether one should call for an ambulance. If one was not careful, one could die.

Perhaps Xia He really did not have any talent in cooking. After learning from Li Gui for so long, she had not improved at all. The only improvement was that she knew how to cook rice now. At the very least, she would not starve to death if she was alone at home. She would be able to eat rice with pickled vegetables for a few days.

Qiao Mei looked towards the kitchen thoughtfully. It was time to find a helper. Otherwise, Li Gui would not be able to cope alone. Although Qiao Qiang was healthy and strong now, it was Qiao Mei’s wish that Qiao Qiang could spend his time on his interests and not continue to take care of her for the rest of his life.

Her requirements for a helper might be much stricter than the average person. In fact, one helper might not even be enough. She wanted a live-in helper to take charge of cooking, washing up, cleaning up the kitchen and clearing the fallen leaves and weeds in the courtyard.

She would likely need another helper, more like a confinement nanny, who could take care of her and her two children. After she gave birth, she needed to have nutritious meals. The confinement nanny also had to help with feeding the babies and coaxing them to sleep until Qiao Mei recovered her strength.

Li Gui just needed to be in charge of earning money to support the family. She could leave the trivial chores to the hired help.

Just as Qiao Mei was thinking about all these, Qian’e quietly came to Qiao Mei’s side. She crossed her arms and stood angrily at the side, looking at Qiao Mei

Qiao Mei turned around and got a shock when she saw Qian’e. She patted her chest and said, “Why didn’t you make any sound! When did you come over? You scared me to death…”

“I came in openly through the door! You are the one who keeps staring at the kitchen in a daze. I’m curious to know why you are so engrossed in your thoughts,” Qian’e said as she pursed her lips.

“What else can I think about at home? Let’s not talk about me first. What’s wrong with you today? Why did you argue with Professor Zheng? Did he do something outrageous to bully you? Tell me and I’ll stand up for you. I definitely won’t let you suffer any grievances,” Qiao Mei said jokingly.

Qian’e became angry at the mention of this matter. At that time, Zheng Peng looked at her as if he was mocking her, or perhaps he was sizing her up and being suspicious of her. Anyway, that look of his made her furious and reminded her of many things from the past. In the end, under Zheng Peng’s constant suspicions and questioning, she completely blew up.

Actually, it was just a misunderstanding. The two of them were like children, unwilling to admit defeat but continue to bicker with each other.

“It’s fine. I’m a magnanimous person and won’t argue with him. However, when did you find a teacher for the children? Instead of letting the children enjoy their vacation, you get them to do physical training at home. Is this the Xia family’s tradition?” Qian’e asked with a laugh.

“My eldest brother found this teacher for me. Children should be developed comprehensively in terms of morals, intelligence, physical fitness and hard work, not just in their school subjects! Besides, these children did not do well in their studies when they were in the village. The standard of education in the capital is worlds apart from that in the village. What will happen to them if they don’t work harder at this time?” Qiao Mei said with a sigh.

This action made Qian’e laugh so loudly until she almost teared.

“You’re too funny! You’re not even 20 years old yet! Why are you behaving like your mother and actually thinking about how these children’s futures? You’re not even a mother yet, your babies are not even born yet, and yet you already know what a mother’s responsibility is?” Qian’e said.
