Life after marriage is no different from before.

After the National Day holiday, Lao Zhang moved into the house and took care of all the housework, and Jiang Meilin would drive over from Jinling every weekend.

As the days passed, Chen Qingqing's belly gradually became fatter. She slept more and ate more every day. Her complexion was very good. Every time she went for a prenatal check-up, the results were good.

After Yingke Live successfully cashed out, it also signed a contract with Ziwu Dance.

After Tomato Novel was connected to Douyin, its size tripled, and the number of daily active users even exceeded 30 million!

Tomato short dramas are also flourishing, and the revenue from GG and product placement alone is a huge sum every month.

November 1st.

YW's first offline flagship store opened in the Shanghai World Financial Center. Pei Youwei informed Xu Ye in advance, so Xu Ye arrived at the scene around nine in the morning.

The flagship store covers an area of ​​300 square meters, and the decoration alone cost several million. The lighting inside was designed by a professional lighting designer. Once you walk in, you will feel like you have walked into a luxury store.

"How is it? Is it okay?"

Xu Ye said happily: "It's just a store that cost several million to renovate, how can it be okay?"

Pei Youwei explained: "For the first store, we will try to make it as good as possible. The subsequent branches will definitely not be of such a high standard."

“How many branches do you plan to open?”

"We will open ten direct-sale stores before the end of the year." Pei Youwei said in a planned manner: "If the income and expenditure are OK, we will open them in all provincial capital cities."

Xu Ye nodded in agreement and said, "That's how it should be. Tustin, which my company invested in, now has 2,000 stores across the country. Some similar brands that came out later couldn't compete with us because we expanded quickly in the early stages."

“A clothing store is not like a fast food restaurant.”

"It's different." Xu Ye changed the subject and asked with a smile, "But can you handle it? There's a baby crying at home."

"I've already weaned her, and now my mother-in-law is taking care of her."

"It's only been a few months and you're already weaned?"

"Half a year."

Xu Ye smiled and said, "My mom said breast milk is better than formula. My baby will be born next year, and I will try to feed him as long as I can."

Pei Youwei said with a smile: "When Qingqing cries out in pain, you won't say that anymore."

"You're crying out in pain? How can it hurt to feed a baby?"

Pei Youwei smiled meaningfully without further explanation.

After the opening ceremony of the new store in the morning, Xu Ye returned home. Lao Zhang was cooking in the kitchen, and the fragrance could be smelled even from the living room.

"You're back so soon?"

"Well, I came back with nothing to do."

After Xu Ye took out his cell phone and car keys from his pocket, he lay down on the sofa. He rested his head on Chen Qingqing's thigh, put his ear on her slightly bulging belly, and listened attentively to the movements in her stomach.

Chen Qingqing laughed angrily: "Is there any movement?"

"Yes, don't talk."

"Fart! That's my stomach growling."

“Yes.”

"Hurry up, or your mother will see you."

"What's the big deal? Before marriage, I was considered a hooligan. After marriage, I was showing off my love. Do you understand?"

Chen Qingqing grabbed Xu Ye's ear and said, "You always have a lot of twisted ideas. Do you think I will listen to you? Get up quickly!"

Xu Ye lifted up Chen Qingqing's loose T-shirt, kissed her belly, and then sat up.

Have dinner on time at 12 o'clock.

After Lao Zhang moved in, the family's meal times were fixed: 8 a.m., 12 p.m., and 6 p.m. Except for the weekend mornings when they would be a little later, the error for other times was within five minutes.

Lao Zhang served the meal to Chen Qingqing, who then handed it to Xu Ye. After Xu Ye took it, he said to Lao Zhang, "Mom, Wei Ge's house has been renovated. It seems his parents will come over this weekend."

"I know. Meihua (Wang Mei's nickname) told me."

"I'll probably be in Shanghai for a while. Xinyi doesn't work in my company, so sometimes she has to work overtime until after 10pm."

Lao Zhang immediately said, "She's pregnant, why is she still working overtime?"

"Wei Ge wanted her to rest at home, but she didn't want to. She said it was boring to be alone. Anyway, she just got pregnant. I have already informed the boss's wife. Starting this month, she will only broadcast live in the afternoon."

Lao Zhang nodded and said nothing more.

Two minutes passed.

Lao Zhang suddenly said, "Son, I want to discuss something with you."

"What is it?"

"Can you enroll mom in a training course for maternal and child care?"

"Puff~" He spat out the whole mouthful of rice he had just eaten. Xu Ye wiped his mouth and asked, "Why are you reporting this?"

"I'm just sitting around doing nothing anyway. Your grandmother took care of you when you were a child, and I've never taken care of a child before. The child isn't born yet anyway, so I'll go and learn when I have time."

Xu Ye immediately said: "When the time comes, can't we just hire a confinement nanny to stay at home?"

Lao Zhang has his own reasoning: "I can't trust outsiders as much as my family. My home is so small, and it would be inconvenient to have more outsiders."

Chen Qingqing finally said, "Mom, this needs to be verified. It may not be that simple."

Xu Ye smiled and said, "My mother is an accountant after all. It's not difficult for her to get this certificate. It's just that she's already old, so there's no need to bother."

Lao Zhang quickly said, "If mom can't learn it, she can stop attending after two days."

There was almost a hint of request in Lao Zhang's tone, and Xu Ye quickly gave in and said, "Then I'll see if there is such a training class nearby."

"In a place as big as the Magic City, there must be some."

After getting married, parents will slowly become old children. You can’t scold them or talk to them, you can only coax them.

During the lunch break, Jiang Meilin also called, and Chen Qingqing told Jiang Meilin about this matter. Jiang Meilin immediately began to advise again: "You should behave well at home. If you are angry, take it out on Xiao Xu, not on your mother-in-law."

"I know."

"Your mother-in-law treats your daughter, so you should also treat her as your mother. Don't say angry words to your family members, don't say sarcastic words, and don't keep silent."

"Oh mom, I know, I'm not a three-year-old kid anymore."

"Look at me, look at me, you think I'm annoying again, don't you?"

Chen Qingqing quickly changed the subject: "Mom, can you come over this week?"

"It depends."

"I want to eat duck blood vermicelli soup."

"You little greedy cat...where's Xiao Xu?"

"He's sleeping next to me."

"That's it for now, you guys go to sleep."

"oh."

Chen Qingqing put her phone on the bedside table. She sat on the bed and made a call for several minutes. Her hands were cold. Xu Ye lifted the quilt and ordered concisely: "What are you doing? Come and sleep."

Chen Qingqing crawled into the bed, put her hands under Xu Ye's armpits, and said with a smile: "It's so cold, winter is coming soon."

"After this winter, we will become parents too."
