A crazy beauty has an island, and a powerful figure from that era dotes on her.

"Mom, where's my sister-in-law?" Lu Xingning looked around the living room.

"It seems like they've gone to Yunlai. I heard they're going to build some kind of shopping mall soon..." Qin Mengjie's hands kept moving as she knitted.

“Your brother and Chenfeng are both busy, so your sister-in-law will have to handle the business matters.”

At this point, Qin Mengjie turned her head towards the kitchen and asked, "Sister Chen, have you started soaking the bird's nest?"

"It's soaking, it's soaking." Sister Chen came out of the kitchen with a smile.

"Tonight, you and Aunt Wang should cook a few more of Yi Yi's favorite dishes. She's been working so hard lately that she's lost weight," Qin Mengjie instructed.

"Okay!" Sister Chen replied with a smile.

"Hasn't Wang Ma come back yet?" Qin Mengjie asked.

"Not yet. Aunt Wang said the free-range chickens from that family in the mountains are ready to eat. She's going to buy a few to make soup for Yi Yi," Sister Chen said with a smile.

Wang Ma went to great lengths to help Jian Qingyi recover.

Wang Ma deserves a lot of credit for ensuring that the two little ones can have a full meal every day.

As the group was talking, Wang Ma and Xiao Li carried in the chicken coop.

Xiao Li was also carrying a bag of eggs in his other hand.

Seeing that the chicken coop was almost collapsing, Qin Mengjie couldn't help but ask with a smile, "Aunt Wang, how many chickens did you buy?"

"Six," Wang Ma gestured with her hand.

“I thought these free-range chickens looked pretty good, so I bought them all for her.”

"Yi Yi has lost weight recently, we need to give her some extra nutrition," said Wang Ma with a pained expression.

Qin Mengjie was well aware of this.

The daughter-in-law has to soothe the two little ones during the day and the big one at night.

Qin Mengjie knew perfectly well what kind of person her son was.

As soon as he got home, his eyes were glued to his wife.

The old man, the old woman, Qin Mengjie, and Lu Yaozong couldn't bear to look.

They couldn't say much about what happened in the young couple's room, and could only try their best to help Jian Qingyi recover.

The most important thing is...

They were afraid that if they said too much, Lu Yujing would get upset and run away with his wife and son.

"Then you and Sister Chen should cook a few more of Yi Yi's favorite dishes tonight to help her recover properly," Qin Mengjie sighed inwardly.

Children are debts!

“Okay!” Aunt Wang readily agreed.

The baby's whimpering could be heard coming from the nursery.

Qin Mengjie hurriedly put down her needlework and rushed towards the nursery.

Lu Xingning followed closely behind.

When Jian Qingyi returned carrying large and small bags, the two little ones were already sitting in their cribs.

Upon seeing Jian Qingyi return, the two little ones grinned, showing off their tiny baby teeth, and clapped their chubby little hands with joy.

“MaMa……MaMa……”

“MaMa……MaMa……”

"Sister-in-law..." Lu Xingning smiled and stepped forward to help take the things from her hands.

"When did you get back? Did you just arrive?" Jian Qingyi handed her the things in her hand and waved to the two little ones.

When the two little ones saw their mother waving at them, they grinned even more enthusiastically with their baby teeth.

"I've been back for a while. I've had so much homework lately. Your art department is really great," Lu Xingning sighed.

"The art department isn't as easy as you think," Jian Qingyi chuckled.

To improve their drawing skills, art students need to spend a lot of time practicing.

Aside from class time, many art students also use their spare time to practice sketching and copying.

Art learning is a long-term accumulation process. From basic lines and composition to the use of color and creative expression, it requires continuous learning and practice.

and……

The employment prospects for art majors are relatively narrow. Although many industries have a certain demand for art talents, the number of positions is relatively limited.

painter……

The hope is even slimmer.

Data shows that only 3% of professional painters can make a living entirely from painting.

Jian Qingyi went to the bathroom to wash her hands, and then took the two little ones' chubby hands and kissed each of them.

“Tell Mommy, who is Ruibao?” Jian Qingyi teased the two little ones.

Rui Bao raised his hand, showing off his little baby teeth.

"Then who is Qi Bao?" Jian Qingyi asked again.

Qi Bao grinned and raised her hand with her rosy little mouth.

Jian Qingyi held the two little ones' chubby hands and gave each of them a kiss as a reward.

"Yiyi, aren't these clothes you bought a little small?" Qin Mengjie frowned slightly.

Seeing that the bags on the low cabinet were full of children's clothes, Qin Mengjie took them out to wash.

As soon as the little clothes were taken out, she frowned.

“Mom, those aren’t for Ruibao and Qibao.” Jian Qingyi smiled.

"I knew it, it's obviously a size too small." Qin Mengjie folded it up and stuffed it back into her handbag.

"Sister-in-law, who did you buy these little clothes for?" Lu Xingning asked curiously.

"It's Jian Xiaotian's 100-day celebration in a couple of days. I didn't know what to give him, so I just picked out a few outfits for him." Jian Qingyi smiled and tossed the little ball to the two little ones.

"Sister Pearl's baby is already 100 days old?" Lu Xingning asked in surprise.

"Time flies, doesn't it?" Jian Qingyi sighed with a smile.

It feels like the little guy hasn't been here long, and he's almost a hundred days old.

“It is indeed quite fast.” Lu Xingning nodded.

Suddenly, Jian Qingyi thought of something and took out a velvet box containing jewelry from her crossbody bag on the low cabinet.

"This is a little gold bracelet I bought for that little guy. Do you think it's okay?" She handed it to Lu Xingning to look at.

Lu Xingning opened the velvet box.

Inside were a pair of four-leaf clover baby bracelets.

The design is simple and elegant, with a push-pull mechanism, making it suitable for children as young as six or seven.

The four-leaf clover symbolizes good luck throughout life.

This is also Jian Qingyi's best wishes for the little one.

"Beautiful!" Lu Xingning exclaimed sincerely.

"Sister-in-law, did you design this?"

“Okay!” Jian Qingyi nodded.

"Sister-in-law, is this little gold bracelet expensive?" Lu Xingning asked.

"Three hundred and sixty! Do you think it's expensive?" Jian Qingyi asked instead of answering.

Gold is priced at 60 yuan per gram, and a baby bracelet weighs 6 grams, totaling 360 yuan.

Three hundred and sixty is not expensive for her.

But perhaps those who toil in the fields, facing the loess soil with their backs to the sky, are the ones who are most valuable.

The answer to the question "Is it expensive?" actually varies from person to person.

Everyone has a different definition of "expensive," which depends on their economic situation, consumption habits, and values.

"It's a bit pricey!" Lu Xingning closed the velvet box, handed it back to Jian Qingyi, and got up to go inside.

A short while later, she came out carrying her small handbag.

"Xingning, it's so late, are you still going out?" Jian Qingyi looked surprised when she saw her carrying a bag.

"I'll be back soon." Lu Xingning jogged off.

"Where are you going?" Qin Mengjie asked.

"Secret!" Lu Xingning turned and threw out two words.

"This child..." Qin Mengjie glared at her with a playful smile.

Turning to look at the two little ones in the crib, Qin Mengjie said softly, "You two mustn't be like your aunt in the future. You have to tell Grandma where you're going so that Grandma won't worry about you, okay?"

"nai...nai..."

"nai...nai..."

The two little ones only grasped the key points.

"Yes!" Qin Mengjie responded with a smile.

As soon as the food was served, Lu Xingning rushed back.

She was also carrying a shopping bag from Yunlai Gold Shop.

"What did you buy?" Qin Mengjie glanced at the handbag in her hand.

"Ta-da!" Lu Xingning pulled two velvet boxes out of her handbag like she was showing off a treasure.

"If Jian Xiaotian has it, how can my Ruibao and Qibao not have it too?!"
