After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!

Chapter 1519 Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fonder

"Look at how much your son adores you! He has never responded to me this way!" Qiao Mei said with a twinge of jealousy.

"Why? Are you even jealous of your own son? What a green-eyed monster," Xia Zhe asked with a smile as he hugged Xia Fan.

"Who says that I'm jealous! I'm just telling the truth!" Qiao Mei said as she turned her head to the other side.

As the two of them bickered, Xia You and Lu Huai arrived at Qiao Mei's house with a pile of things. The moment they entered, they were greeted with a heartwarming family scene.

"Don't the two of you get sick of each other if you hang out together all day every day? You even hug each other in the middle of the day while the main door is open. If those people in the community see this, they'll make a mountain out of a molehill again!" Xia You said disdainfully.

"No! Haven't you heard that absence makes the heart grow fonder! We're just so loving! If they like to look at us, let them! I'm behaving lovingly in my own house. What has it got to do with them!" Qiao Mei yelled out loudly.

Absence made the heart grow fonder? This phrase seemed to make sense. Every time she waited at home for Lu Huai to return, she would be filled with anticipation. After he returned from his business trip, the two of them would become even more loving and sweet to each other. So this could be described as absence making the heart grow fonder! It was so interesting.

Xia You liked how upfront Qiao Mei was. She was fearless in everything she did, as if nothing was ever a problem for her.

"Why do you have so many bags with you? Are you moving house?" Xia Zhe teased.

"Sigh, didn't Director Qiao just promote my Lu Huai? I have to bring a gift to say thanks! Otherwise, won't that make me look like I don't know the ways of the world!" Xia You joked as she stood beside Qiao Mei.

"Xiao You, you're so sensible. Don't worry, leave this matter to me!" Qiao Mei went along with what Xia You said.

Everyone in the courtyard laughed out loudly. When they stopped laughing, Xia Fan started to giggle and chuckle for some reason. A child's laughter sounded different from an adult's laughter. It was extremely cute.

"Oh my, look! This little baby even knows how to laugh! This is the first time I've heard such a small child laugh so loudly!" Xia You said in surprise.

"Since you like babies so much, then have one quickly!" Qiao Mei said.

"I will! After I give birth, I won't buy anything and I'll just come to your house and take whatever I need. Anyway, your family has both a boy and a girl. You will have whatever I need. Just give my child everything that Xia Fan and Xia Xing are sick of playing with. I can also take the clothes that they can't wear anymore," Xia You said.

In this era, when any family had a newborn child, they would not go out and buy anything. They would just go around collecting the things which the children of their neighbors or relatives could no longer wear or had no use for anymore. Most children wore secondhand clothing. The families would just give the neighbors or relatives other things as thank-you gifts.

The fact was that children grew up very quickly. Clothes that could still fit this month would not fit the next month. Children's clothes were also very expensive and it was not worth buying new pieces.

Children would usually only get their first set of new clothes when they were about 15 years old! Xia Zhe had also grown up wearing Xia Wen's clothes. Until now, he did not really buy new clothes. Their family had a rule that they should reuse their clothes as much as possible.

Only someone as rich as Qiao Mei would be willing to buy so many new things for her children. In addition, she had many relatives and these two babies were the first kids of their generation, so everyone naturally paid more attention to them.

"It's best if you and Xia He have a boy and a girl between the two of you. Then, you can both come and take everything from my house. Otherwise, I'll have to make another set for one of you!" Qiao Mei said.

Qiao Mei left the children to Xia Zhe and led Xia You and Lu Huai to the study to discuss work matters.

"Coo, coo, coo…" For some reason, the pigeon kept cooing when it saw Xia You, as if it was very afraid.

"When did you start raising pigeons? How can it still fly when it's so fat?" Xia You said disdainfully.

Ever since this pigeon came to Qiao Mei's place, it had only gone out once to send a letter. Ever since then, it stayed in the cage and did not go out. Xu Kang fed it a lot of delicious food every day and as time passed, the pigeon gained weight. From afar, it looked like a big white ball.

"It can probably still fly. If it really can't, then I'll just treat it like a chicken. If it can't fly, it can still walk, can't it?" Qiao Mei said as she looked at the pigeon in disdain.
