1044 Bathtub

Xu Lan thought about it carefully. She had indeed bought too many things over the past few months. In the future, she would buy less and only get necessities for the children.

“Then let me know whenever you need to buy things for the children. I’ll go and buy it for them,” Xu Lan said generously.

“I have so much money on hand. If I still need you to buy things for me, then what do I do with all the money at home? Don’t worry, when the children are born, I’ll definitely need your help to take care of them!” Qiao Mei said laughingly.

At the mention of taking care of the children, Xu Lan immediately beamed with joy. She had already made plans to go over and help to take care of these two children once Qiao Mei gave birth. Children needed to be around adults all the time until they turned one or two years old. There must be someone keeping an eye on them at all times. The children’s diet was also a very important matter. Qiao Mei definitely would not be able to cope on her own.

Even though Li Gui was Qiao Mei’s biological mother, she was also the mother of four other children. She could not possibly ignore the other children to take care of Qiao Mei. Those children were still too young to be able to take care of themselves.

Therefore, Xu Lan had to take the initiative to take on more responsibilities. Although she did not have much experience, she could still share some of Qiao Mei’s burdens. Not having real life experience was not an issue. Back then, she had observed how Wu Min took care of the children.

“Alright, go back with Xia He then.” Xu Lan quickly shouted for Xia He, “Xia He! Go home with Qiao Mei! You must take good care of Qiao Mei, do you understand!”

Xia He nodded hurriedly. She could not wait to leave as soon as possible! At this moment, she would agree to any request Xu Lan made.

“No problem, leave it to me,” Xia He patted her chest and made a promise.

The two of them made their way home with the gifts from Xu Lan. Just as Qiao Mei expected, the people outside the courtyard house had already all left. If nothing had gone wrong, this issue was already completely resolved.

The chauffeur stopped in front of Qiao Mei’s house and got out of the car to carry all the items from the trunk into the house. Xia He slowly got out and did a big stretch. She said lazily, “I’m finally back~ I miss this small courtyard so much! I don’t have to wake up early to practice my basic skills anymore!”

“Don’t let Mother hear this. She’ll ask you to go back and stay for a few months. Besides, don’t you want to be a dancer? If you don’t work hard, how can you realize your dream?” Qiao Mei said with a smile.

“My mistake! It’s just the sense of novelty I feel when I see this courtyard. Mother is the nicest person in the world. Of course I like living with her the most! I’ll definitely train hard!” Xia He said unconscionably.

Qiao Mei pretended not to hear anything and laughed as she returned to her room to take a rest. During this entire trip to bring Xia Mao home, there was no way for her to take a nice bath. Today, she must take a nice and comfortable bath in the bathroom.

The so-called bathroom was just a small room in the house which Qiao Mei had fitted out. It was actually not too small and the area was about 12 square meters. Qiao Mei had spent a lot of money on the renovations. The walls were tiled and the water heater was the latest model on the market. The only thing was that there was no shower head installed as her main focus was on the bathtub.

Qiao Mei preferred the traditional wooden bathtub where one could totally soak in the water. It was so comfortable that Qiao Mei even felt like taking a nap inside sometimes.

However, such a wooden bathtub needed to be cleaned thoroughly every time after taking a bath. It was time-consuming and laborious. Therefore, Qiao Mei was currently using the most commonly found tiled bathtub.

In her current condition, it was inconvenient for her to go in and out of the bathtub and she needed Xia He’s help to do that. It would be disastrous if she were to have a fall.

Just like that, they lived in peace for three to four days. It was rare that nothing happened and everyone had a few nice and quiet days. The backyard house was very lively though. For some reason, Qian’e started quarreling with Zheng Peng again and they bickered every day over all kinds of trivial matters.

The two of them quarreled all the time and the reasons for their fights were all very childish. However, they would always reconcile the day after they squabbled, like two little kids.

“What are you looking at!” Qiao Mei whispered into Xia He’s ear.
