Arranged marriage, love blossoms: Marrying into a wealthy family while holding a miniature version o

Mother and baby stores don't have many days off, especially on holidays and weekends when they are very busy.

Zhou Yi has four days off a month. She can ask for leave if she has other things to do, but she usually asks for leave on Mondays when the store is not very busy.

After picking up the medicine from the hospital, Zhou Yi went to the courier service to send it off. Then she called her grandmother and her third aunt to give them all the instructions before going to the market to buy groceries.

She doesn't have much to do on weekdays except for work and getting medicine for her grandmother.

Normally, if things were settled in the morning, she would go back to work at the store in the afternoon, but Zhou Yi thought of Qin Shi, so she went directly to the market to buy vegetables.

Over the past few years, Qin Shi has taken exceptional care of her and her grandmother. She has nothing to repay him with, so she can only do some insignificant little things to show her gratitude.

Zhou Yi quickly bought groceries and went home to cook. Before cooking, she sent a message to Qin Shi, asking if he had time at noon or in the evening so she could cook and deliver it to him.

Qin Shi replied to her, saying he would come to her place that evening.

After receiving Qin Shi's reply, Zhou Yi simply made something to eat for lunch, then put the stew in the pot to simmer, and prepared all the vegetables so that he could cook them directly in the evening.

Zhou Yi was busy with her work in an orderly manner, and she was far from idle.

Just as she put the chicken and other ingredients into the pot to stew, her phone rang.

Zhou Yi pressed the stew button, washed her hands, and picked up her phone to check for calls.

It was a call from Xiao Li, the shop assistant.

Zhou Yi answered the phone: "Xiao Li."

"Sister Zhou Yi, a customer came to the store and specifically asked you to come over. Can you come over right now?"

Zhou Yi has been working at the store for two years, and many customers only recognize her. If she is occasionally not in the store, customers will ask her if they don't see her. This is not the first time that a customer has specifically asked for her.

As Zhou Yi listened to the sounds on her phone, she also heard heart-wrenching cries—the cries of a baby, crying very sadly.

The sound of crying made Zhou Yi's heart tighten. She said, "I'm coming right now!"

Without delay, Zhou Yi quickly tidied up, grabbed her bag and keys, and went out to take a taxi to the store.

She actually lives quite far from the shop because the shop is in a prime location, and the rent in that area is too expensive for her, so she rents a place a bit further away.

I kept urging the driver to go faster, and at the same time I called Xiao Li again to ask about the specific situation. Soon, in less than half an hour, the car stopped on the side of the road outside the store.

Before Zhou Yi even got out of the car, she saw Xiao Li standing at the store entrance looking out. Next to Xiao Li was a middle-aged woman holding a child, who was also looking out.

Zhou Yi remembered that this woman was the one who had entered the store with her child after the heavy rain three days prior.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Yi immediately got out of the car.

Xiao Li spotted her instantly and immediately said, "Sister Zhou Yi is here!"

"If Sister Zhou Yi comes, the child will stop crying!"

Xiao Li rushed over, and the woman also came over carrying the child.

The child cried and cried until his voice became hoarse, which broke Zhou Yi's heart.

Without saying anything, she handed the bag to Xiao Li and went to check on the child, saying, "What's wrong? Why are you crying so sadly? Let me see."

As Zhou Yi spoke, he reached out to hug the child, and the woman handed the child to Zhou Yi without any suspicion.

Zhou Yi took the child and gently held him in her arms, patted him softly, spoke in a soft voice, then walked around and hummed a song.

The child's crying gradually subsided under her comforting words, and he eventually fell asleep.

Yes, her little face was all dirty from crying, but she still slept peacefully.

Seeing this, Xiao Li wasn't surprised at all. Instead, he said proudly, "I knew it! As long as Sister Zhou Yi comes, even the most difficult child will be easy to take care of!"

The woman breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her child had fallen asleep and stopped crying.

At this moment, the woman looked at Zhou Yi's extremely young yet gentle and composed face, and her expression was quite different.

After putting the child to sleep, Zhou Yi handed the child over to the woman. He then asked her about the child's condition and shared his knowledge and practical experience from the past two years. The woman took notes and left.

Before getting into the car, the woman sincerely said, "Thank you, Miss Zhou."

Zhou Yi looked at the adorable little face sleeping in the woman's arms and smiled, "You're welcome."

The woman said nothing more and got into the car.

Soon, the car entered the traffic and disappeared into it.

Looking at him, Xiao Li said, "Sister Zhou Yi, you're amazing. There's no child you can't handle. But this child is so cute and good-looking. He'll definitely grow up to be a handsome young man."

Hearing her words, Zhou Yi looked away and smiled, asking, "Is everything alright at the shop?"

"Okay! Sister Xu and I are at the shop, we can manage. It's Monday, don't worry!"

"Okay, I have something to do, so I can only come to the store tomorrow."

"It's alright, it's alright. You should take a good rest for a day. You only get two days off a month. Go home now!"

"Ah."

There was still chicken soup simmering at home, even though it was cooked in a rice cooker, she still needed to get back as soon as possible.

Without further delay, Zhou Yi went home.

And so, this sudden little incident passed by quite normally, and Zhou Yi didn't pay any attention to it.

Evening arrived quickly, and Zhou Yi started cooking, while Qin Shi sent her a message telling her approximately when he would get off work and when he would arrive.

Before long, it was 6:30. Zhou Yi finished cooking the food and set it on the table. Then she sent a message to Qin Shi to let him know that it was ready.

But before she could send the message, a phone call came in.

It's from the Qin Dynasty.

Upon seeing the incoming call, Zhou Yi immediately answered: "Brother."

"Zhou Yi, I'm sorry, I just received a call. A patient urgently needs surgery, and I need to go back to the hospital immediately."

Qin Shi's solemn voice came through, and Zhou Yi paused only for a moment before quickly saying, "Okay, brother, go ahead."

"The patient is the most important person."

"Well, I'll probably finish my surgery very late, so you don't have to wait for me. Eat by yourself, and I'll take you out to eat next time I have time."

Zhou Yi smiled and said, "No need, driver. You go to the hospital first. I'll eat first and then bring it to you."

"I'm waiting for you."

The gentle words "I'll wait for you" reached Qin Shi's ears, and his heart stirred. He said, "Okay."

The call ended quickly. Zhou Yi looked at the table full of dishes, put her phone aside, and went to get a thermos. She took out most of the dishes and put them in the thermos. She also filled two thermoses with rice and covered them before sitting down to eat.

That's just how my brother is; he's very busy, and often he can't even eat on time.

My brother has worked very hard.

Zhou Yi wasn't disappointed at all that Qin Shi couldn't come; on the contrary, she felt very sorry for Qin Shi.

After finishing her meal and cleaning up the kitchen, she took the insulated container and took the bus to the hospital, where she waited in the waiting chair outside Qin Shi's office.

However, the wait lasted until very late. The night deepened, and the bustling city of Yunzhou gradually quieted down. Zhou Yi waited until he started to yawn.

Then, as the hospital fell silent, she leaned back in her chair, her head nodding slightly, and drifted off to sleep…
