Chapter 490 Construction begins
Comrade Ma Aiying had a small ponytail, a round face, and slightly chubby cheeks. She had a friendly smile, just like a girl next door, and didn't seem to have anything special about her. "Hello, Comrade Chen Qing, my name is Ma Aiying. You can call me Secretary Ma from now on. I hope we can have a pleasant working relationship in the future."

"must."

Chen Qing shook hands with her, and then shook hands firmly with both of them.

She'll really have to trouble Ma Aiying a lot from now on.

Ma Aiying smiled, her eyes gentle: "It's all part of my job, no trouble at all."

Chen Qing and Ma Aiying introduced their family members.

He Yuxiang and Xiao Yu both obediently called her Aunt Ma.

The two children had different thoughts about the arrival of a new member to the family.

He Yuxiang was mindful of his uncle's "six-month agreement." After the six-month agreement was up, he could start his business. However, having an outsider in the house was inconvenient. Yet, she was there to take care of his pregnant aunt, which made him feel conflicted.

Xiaoyu warmly welcomes you!
Because her aunt told her that the new auntie was incredibly skilled! She could ask Auntie Ma to teach her a few moves!
Xiaoyu was really looking forward to it.

Chen Qing saw Xiao Yu looking up at Ma Aiying with bright eyes and asked, "Xiao Yu, would you like to show Aunt Ma around our house?"

"Yes!" Xiaoyu stepped forward and took Ma Aiying's hand, then asked, "Aunt Ma, will you be sleeping with me from now on?"

"Yes, and thank you for taking good care of her." Ma Aiying picked up Xiaoyu, then weighed her in her arms; she seemed like a fairly solid child. "Do you usually like to run?"

"Yes, I like running, I like skipping rope, I like doing somersaults, and I also know military boxing."

Xiaoyu counted them one by one on her fingers.

Ma Aiying's eyes brightened slightly: "That's great, girls should exercise and stay healthy."

“Yes, my aunt said the same thing.” Xiaoyu then looked at Ma Aiying and said, “Aunt Ma, if you live with me from now on, I want to set rules for my room, is that okay?”

"can."

"Let's go to the room first."

Xiao Yu took Ma Aiying to the room to take a look.

There was an extra bed in the room. Ma Aiying could sleep anywhere when she was on a mission, so she was happy to have a clean and tidy bed.

Xiaoyu pointed to her box and said, "Those three boxes are my treasures. You can't touch them. But if you want to see them or play with them, you can tell me, and I can let you see them and play with them."

"You have so many boxes?" Ma Aiying was shocked.

"Yes, one box contains thick winter clothes, quilts and the like, another box contains treasures I've collected from various places, and the newest box is a treasure box I'm preparing for my sister."

Xiaoyu showed her around.

Ma Aiying felt that it was just a bunch of messy things from a child.

Stones, ropes, paintings, lanterns, folded paper, comic strips, and so on, all in various colors.

All of them are children's items.

Before coming to Chen Qing's house, Ma Aiying had already investigated her family situation and knew that the child she was chatting with did not have parents, but seemed quite cheerful. "Your suitcase has so many treasures."

“Hehe, I think so too.” Xiaoyu then led Ma Aiying to familiarize herself with the backyard: “We have a starfruit tree and a wampee tree. The starfruit tree will bear fruit this year, but the wampee tree will have to wait another two or three years.”

"And here are our two most precious hens! I raised them! They're so well-behaved, they lay eggs every day!"

"There are some vegetables on the ground, Auntie, please don't step on them, or my brother will hold a grudge."

"This is what the backyard looks like. We also have a storage room where all sorts of tools are kept."

"By the way, my uncle has a study, which you can't just go in. But my uncle said that once my sister is born and grows up, it will be demolished and turned into her room."

Xiao Yu took Ma Aiying to the front yard and even strolled around the kitchen. She sneakily stole a bottle of drink for her, saying, "It's hot, you can drink this. Just say it's from my aunt." Ma Aiying was both amused and exasperated.

I already thought she was very cute from the first day I spent with her.

After Xiaoyu finished her introduction, she went back to the living room to do her homework while enjoying the breeze from the fan. Next to her homework, there were two milk candies.

Ma Aiying said to Chen Qing, "Your child is very cute."

"right."

Chen Qing looked proud.

Her daughter, Xiaoyu, is so cute!

After getting familiar with the house, Chen Qing took her out to buy personal supplies and introduced Ma Aiying to the neighbors.

When the two went to the supply and marketing cooperative, Ma Aiying asked Chen Qing, "How many months pregnant are you?"

"More than two months."

Chen Qing still doesn't feel like it's real at all.

Besides reminding myself to stay calm in the hope of raising an emotionally stable child, I often forget that I am pregnant.

However, as for 'emotional stability', it is highly unlikely that it can be achieved.

Ma Aiying nodded and said, "Your older child seems to be quieter."

"He is rather introverted and not used to having people come to stay at his house, so he needs time to adjust. But he has a good personality and is hardworking. He Yuan and I are both too busy, so he basically manages the household. He is in charge of everything from buying groceries and daily necessities to repairing things. He is also responsible for meals when He Yuan is away on business."

"That's very sensible."

Ma Aiying said.

Children from poor families learn to be independent early.

Judging from Chen Qing and He Yuan's work, the couple is not poor, but it's rare to see such an obedient and sensible child.

Chen Qing: "Yes, he is a very responsible child."

The two arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative. Chen Qing gave Ma Aiying a series of items that girls need, and then said to Ma Aiying, "If you need anything later and are too embarrassed to say it, you can tell Xiaoyu, and I will take care of it for you."

"Okay, trouble."

Ma Aiying carried her things home.

The two had nothing to do all morning. In the afternoon, Chen Qing took Ma Aiying to the construction site. He Yuxiang and Xiao Yu also wanted to see the factory where their aunt would be the future factory manager.

But Chen Qing hadn't sorted out her thoughts yet, so she decided not to take the child with her.

Ma Aiying looked at the two children again before following Chen Qing out the door.

The area around the Third Garment Factory was originally used by local residents who grew vegetables there, but they were recently driven away and are not very welcoming of the newly built factory.

The construction teams completely ignored him.

The person in charge of leading the entire construction team was Engineer Zhou.

When Engineer Zhou saw Chen Qing arrive, he greeted him politely: "Hello, Comrade Chen."

"Hello Mr. Zhou, thank you for your hard work in this hot weather."

“It’s all as it should be.” Zhou, with his dark skin, didn’t like to talk much, but at the beginning of construction, he still told Chen Qing, “Let’s clear the ground first, then dig the foundation. Once the foundation is in place, building the house will be much easier.”
