"Why do I feel that you still favor girls over boys?"

Xie Yanqiu teased him with a smile, and her heart was easily opened by the man.

Zhou Qi also laughed, took her hand and put it to her lips and kissed her softly: "Don't say it, it's true! If this baby is really a boy, we will have another one. I want a girl in my life. She looks just like you, I will pamper you as much as I can in my life!"

After saying this, Xie Yanqiu murmured to himself: "Don't spoil your child like Xu Wanning."

After saying that, both of them unconsciously fell silent.

Xie Yanqiu came to his senses and realized that he had said the wrong thing. Xu Wanning was now a scar on Xu Fanghuai's heart. Everyone would deliberately avoid the topic of Xu Wanning when they mentioned it.

And now she openly described Xu Wanning as a negative example in front of Zhou Qi. For a moment, Xie Yanqiu also felt that she had gone too far.

Zhou Qi noticed the change in the woman's mood, his eyes darkened, and he comforted in a low voice: "Don't worry, our child will not turn into Xu Wanning."

"Besides, Xu Wanning is really sick."

He didn't say the next sentence, but both of them understood.

Regardless of whether their child is a boy or a girl, they will definitely not be as arrogant and domineering as Xu Wanning when they are born, and Xu Wanning's tragedy will not happen again to Xie Yanqiu.

This is a mutual guarantee between the two.

Winter is deep and the mountains are covered with heavy snow.

Considering that the seaside winds are too strong in late winter, Xie Yanqiu decided to stop the two production lines after shipping out the last batch of goods this year before the twelfth lunar month.

In the week before the twelfth lunar month, Ma Qinqin was going crazy. She had to reconcile all the factory's entries and exits. She dared to calculate all the wages of all workers before the twelfth lunar month and pay them out.

She got busy, but Wang Shi suffered a lot.

Originally, the two of them stayed together for work reasons, but now Ma Qinqin was so busy that no one was around. Wang Shi often stood at the door of the factory for a while after get off work, and saw from a distance that the factory's accounting office was still brightly lit in the dark night.

Occasionally, when Xie Yanqiu went out, he saw Wang Shi's shadow in the distance and invited Wang Shi to come in. However, thinking that going in by himself would only affect Ma Qinqin's work efficiency, Wang Shi shook his head and refused.

"Director Xie, I'm just passing by and won't go in. Don't tell Qinqin that I've been here."

As if he was afraid that he would regret it, he kept walking after saying Wang Shi.

The dim yellow light of the street lamp shone on the man's body, casting a long slanting shadow. Lonely and depressed, Xie Yanqiu was stunned, tightened his scarf, and turned around to go back.

On the day when wages were calculated, Xie Yanqiu also organized all the factory reports for the past six months.

One day in advance, Xiaolan announced in each factory area that an all-employee meeting would be held the next day.

Many workers came to Xiaolan and Ma Qinqin privately, trying to get some information from them about when they would take annual leave.

Until then, both Xiaolan and Ma Qinqin laughed it off. They didn't ask about Xie Yanqiu's decision, but they both believed that Xie Yanqiu would not treat everyone badly.

They also understand the workers' thoughts. Xie Yanqiu's factory has holidays earlier than other factories, and every household's expenses at the end of the year are much higher than before.

Many people are worried that the factory will close too early for the holiday and that they will not have enough money during the Chinese New Year.

What they thought, Xie Yanqiu also thought, on the day of the meeting, Xie Yanqiu changed into a bright red dress early.

After today, the workers' holiday has begun, and today is a festive day. She hasn't put on makeup for a long time since she was pregnant. Today, she took out duck egg powder and applied a thin layer of powder on herself.

Lightly apply red lips and finely draw eyebrows.

Zhou Qi was changing clothes next to him. He came over to touch the woman and wrapped his arms around Xie Yanqiu's waist. He gently scratched the woman's hair with his chin and said with a smile, "Why are you celebrating the New Year today?"

Xie Yanqiu fixed her clothes intently: "No, I will give the bonus to everyone today, and then we will celebrate the New Year."

Speaking of the New Year holiday, Zhou Qi suddenly turned around Xie Yanqiu and looked at her seriously: "Where do you want to spend the New Year this year?"

"Back to the city or on Kongtong Island?"

Xie Yanqiu thought for a while, stretched out his hand to hook Zhou Qi's neck, and responded with a serious expression: "What about you?"

Zhou Qi is a soldier, and soldiers don't have holidays during the Chinese New Year. If he doesn't leave, it won't be interesting even if he goes to his mother-in-law's place to celebrate the Chinese New Year.

The man's Adam's apple rolled in the woman's sight. He lowered his head slightly and tapped his chin on the top of Xie Yanqiu's head: "I may have to be on duty on the island during the New Year this year. There are several comrades on the island who have not been home for the New Year in several years. I will I want to give them my vacation spot so that they can go home and have a good New Year with their wives and children.”

As he said this, Xie Yanqiu was stunned for a second and nodded.

"I understand that it's not easy to be a soldier. We all come together from all over the world to defend our country. It's time to go back and see it during the New Year."

"Then what should you do? Stay with me on the island?"

Xie Yanqiu paused.

"It's not impossible. If I stay on the island, I can at least stay with you."

Zhou Qi refused: "No, you are almost five months old during the Chinese New Year, and your belly is getting bigger and bigger. I heard from military doctors that a woman's movements do not change when she is five months pregnant. Besides, there is heavy wind and snow on the island. If you accidentally slip when you go out, What should I do if I fall?"

"Bah, bah, bah! You crow's mouth!"

Xie Yanqiu reached out and slapped his mouth twice, signaling the man to shut up: "Whatever you say is not good, you should be beaten!"

"Okay, okay, I should beat you! But you can't stay on the island. Listen to me and go back to the city. Our mother will take good care of you."

He didn't want to say these words on a whim, but he had been thinking about this issue several months ago. Zhou Qi knew that Xie Yanqiu would definitely stay with him on Kongtong Island.

Rather than accompanying him, he hoped that Xie Yanqiu's mother and son would be safe.

In order to persuade Xie Yanqiu to leave, he did not hesitate to use his trump card: "Besides, the sanitary conditions in the city are much better than those on Kongtong Island. It is also convenient for you to have a prenatal check-up at your parents' place."

Speaking of this, Xie Yanqiu, who had insisted on leaving just now, finally wavered.

She also wanted to fight for herself and stay on the island to accompany Zhou Qi, but the next second the phone rang.

Zhou Qi went over to answer the phone, and Han Shuna's voice came from inside: "Yanqiu?"

"Mom, it's me."

"Where is Yanqiu? I'm looking for Yanqiu."

Zhou Qi complained for two seconds. His biological mother was not willing to say a word to him, but he had no choice but to give in.

"Mom is looking for you."

After saying that, he handed the phone to Xie Yanqiu and acted as a light bulb next to him.

After answering the phone, Xie Yanqiu hummed several times and suddenly ahhed.

Looking back at Zhou Qi, Zhou Qi immediately stood up straight. Sensing that something was going on, he leaned over and put his ear close to the microphone.
