Chapter 9

Qiao Shuling didn’t know that her meal had improved Lu Hong’s impression of her.

She asked them to sit down and eat.

The guard was only two years older than the two treasures, and he couldn’t resist the sight of the table full of delicious food.

Seeing Qiao Shuling inviting him to eat, he shouted, “Thank you, Aunt Qiao!”

He immediately stuffed the scrambled eggs into his mouth and exclaimed, “Aunt Qiao, your cooking is so delicious! It’s ten thousand times better than my mom’s!”

Xie Shengsheng proudly stuffed a piece of egg into his mouth, his words still a little slurred, “Of course, my mom’s cooking is the best in the world!”

Qiao Shuling used a serving chopstick to pick up some braised food for each of them. She didn’t give them too much because she was afraid that the three children would have trouble digesting it.

She also picked up some braised food for Lu Hong, who was flattered. “Shu Ling, I can do it myself.”

But when Lu Hong saw clearly what Qiao Shuling was holding, she was a little surprised, “Shuling, isn’t this pig intestine?”

Qiao Shuling nodded, “Sister-in-law Lu, you’ll know once you take a bite. It’s delicious!”

It was Lu Hong’s first time to eat braised offal.

She had eaten it once when she was very young, but her family was too poor and could only afford offal, so her mother cooked the offal into a pot of soup.

The fishy smell at that time made her feel nauseous when she thought about it now.

Could it be that Qiao Shuling did this on purpose?

Under Qiao Shuling’s expectant gaze, she had no choice but to take a bite.

The next moment, Lu Hong realized that he was judging others by his own standards.

Because of this large intestine, Chief Jane’s tongue is so delicious!

She had never eaten anything so delicious in her life!

“Sister Shuling, how did you make this? Jianshou is so delicious!”

The guard’s mouth was full of oil and he quickly responded, “Aunt Qiao, it’s delicious! If my mom’s cooking is half as good as yours, I’d be satisfied!”

Lu Hong glanced at her son with an angry look.

The two kids squinted their eyes happily while eating.

After that, they all tacitly agreed not to speak anymore and just focused on eating.

Several people ate up all the dishes on the table.

There was only some braised food left because too much was made. Qiao Shuling put it in a bowl and asked Lu Hong to take it home to eat tomorrow.

The guard felt that this was the first time in his life that he had eaten so deliciously!

He looked at Qiao Shuling cautiously, “Aunt Qiao, can I still come to your house for dinner in the future?”

Lu Hong patted his head immediately and said, “Why do you only know how to eat? Your Aunt Qiao works so hard to cook!”

The guard was afraid of his mother and immediately became obedient. “Then, then I won’t come!”

Qiao Shuling didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Guard, you are a good friend of Chuanchuan and Shengsheng, so of course you can come to dinner. Aunt Qiao welcomes you anytime.”

The guards were so happy that they raised their hands and ran around the house. “Great! I can still eat Aunt Qiao’s cooking!”

Qiao Shuling asked the guards to take the two treasures out for a walk to help digest their food, and the three children played with sand in the yard.

Seeing Qiao Shuling was about to clean up the dishes, Lu Hong immediately stepped forward to help.

She and Qiao Shuling had never spoken to each other before, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a moment.

Qiao Shuling took the initiative to open the conversation, smiling sweetly, “Sister-in-law Lu, the guards have been taught so well by you. They’re seven years old now, so they should be in first grade, right?”

Seeing Qiao Shuling praising her own child, Lu Hong smiled rarely. “Yes, he’s in first grade this year. Unfortunately, he’s a bit of a mischievous kid. I’m afraid he’s not cut out for study.”

“How could that be? The guards will follow you as soon as they see you. You’re smart.”

Lu Hong felt a little embarrassed by Qiao Shuling’s praise.

She looked at Qiao Shuling’s fair and stunning profile, and moved her lips upwards and downwards as if wanting to speak.

She was a persuasive person, and since she had started a conversation with Qiao Shuling, she couldn’t help but ask the question she wanted to ask the most.

“Shu Ling, how come you are different today than before…”

The changes are so big.

Qiao Shuling understood Lu Hong’s unfinished words almost instantly.

She turned her head, her beautiful eyes full of seriousness, “Sister-in-law Lu, I was misinformed before, but now I understand that living a good life with men and children is the real thing. I will never treat Chuanchuan and Shengsheng the same way again.”

Tears welled up in Lu Hong’s eyes instantly. She grabbed Qiao Shuling’s hand and said, “Shuling, it’s great that you understand. You don’t know how much pain I felt when I saw Chuanchuan’s wounded little hands!”

She really treats the two treasures as her own children.

Qiao Shuling knew that she cared about the two children sincerely, so she treated Lu Hong very well.

“Don’t worry, Sister Lu, I won’t let you down.”

The woman’s tone was firm.

In the evening, Lu Hong played with the guards for a while and then went home to rest.

Qiao Shuling helped the two babies wash their faces and change into pajamas before preparing to rest.

Xie Chengxiao is the head of the group, and the yard he is assigned is relatively large with two rooms.

So I don’t have to sleep on the floor in the main room like other people at home.

Usually the two babies sleep by themselves.

Today is different. They like their mother so much that they want to pester Qiao Shuling to sleep with them!

The two treasures came to Qiao Shuling’s room holding their little pillows.

Xie Shengsheng took his little pillow and began to give orders, “Brother sleeps on Mommy’s left, Shengsheng sleeps on Mommy’s right, and brother and I both need Mommy to hold us while we sleep!”

After saying that, he even asked Qiao Shuling for her opinion and looked at her with his pitiful big eyes.

“Mom, is it okay?”

“sure.”

Qiao Shuling carried Xie Chuanchuan, who was standing on the ground, onto the bed and kissed him on the mouth.

Xie Chuanchuan immediately hid under the quilt shyly, and then poked his little head out from under the quilt.

“Mom, I’m a grown man now. You can’t kiss me casually!”

Jane’s cute look made Qiao Shuling faint!

Xie Shengsheng was originally standing on the bed. He was the best at acting like a spoiled child. He went over and hugged Qiao Shuling’s arm and asked for a kiss.

“Mom, kiss me, kiss me. Brother is a man, isn’t he? I like mom’s kiss the most!”

He blinked his big eyes and shook Qiao Shuling’s hand.

Qiao Shuling followed suit and kissed him on the cheek.

“Boji, mommy gave birth to a baby!”

Xie Shengsheng felt that it was not enough, so he leaned forward with the other side of his face, “Mom! Mom! Shengsheng wants to kiss this side too!”

Qiao Shuling kissed Xie Shengsheng again.

At this time, Xie Chuanchuan crawled out of the bed, blushing and said, “Mom, my brother kissed me twice, Chuanchuan also wants to kiss him twice.”
