When Niu Ye saw Qiao Erqiang again, it was already the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Niu Ye will definitely not celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival at Qiao's house, but it is necessary to come to Qiao's house with moon cakes and gifts.
My own factory produces mooncakes, but it would be a bit outrageous to send some to my future father-in-law.
Although the Qiao family no longer lacks these things, Qiao Yicheng's TV station and Sanli Provincial People's Hospital have very good welfare benefits.
In fact, the items are all the same, and the mooncakes purchased from Niujia Factory are all the same.
When Niu Ye came to deliver gifts, he happened to catch up with Qiao Erqiang who also came to deliver moon cakes.
Qiao Er forced himself to marry this wife, and his life was quite tiring, especially during the holidays.
Originally, when he was running a restaurant, he usually didn't have much time to rest. It was not easy to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival and the day of reunion. Qiao Erqiang had to work as a cook at both ends and catch up with two shows.
"Qiao Erqiang, do you want me to contact the hospital for you? If you find it inconvenient for me, you can ask Sanli to contact you."
For the sake of the mission, Sanli was wronged and let people know that Sanli's second brother had a wife who was more than ten years older than him. It was inevitable that he had to explain a lot and listen to a lot of gossip.
"Brother Niu Ye, we have checked and he is in good health." Qiao Erqiang replied without looking at Niu Ye.
"Which hospital did you go to? Why didn't you tell me in advance?"
"The Drum Tower Hospital we went to is closer here. I don't want to trouble you, so we went there by ourselves."
"Where's the inspection report? When will I bring it over? I'm at the hospital and I'll ask an expert to take a look at it for you."
Qiao Erqiang still had to cook and didn't look at people when talking, which Niu Ye felt was abnormal.
"Okay... let's wait until the next time we come." Qiao Erqiang responded, and then muttered to himself, "I don't know where I put the list, and I don't know if I can find it."
"Qiao Erqiang, who are you fooling? If you can't find it, go check it again. You are also the boss of Qiao now, so you can afford the inspection fee."
Niu Ye shouted loudly to Qiao Erqiang, saying that he really hated this man.
Although Niu Ye wanted to complete his mission, having a child of his own was not a bad thing for Qiao Erqiang, so he was unwilling to do so.
Niu Ye felt that he seemed to be overestimating Ma Suqin's character, and he needed to talk to Ma Suqin about it.
The promise Niu Ye made to give Er Qiang a child should be fulfilled or not.
What Ma Suqin values most is her son, and she doesn't value Qiao Erqiang that much. Niu Ye knows that.
I just didn't expect that Ma Suqin's relationship with Qiao Erqiang would be like Widow Qin's relationship with Silly Zhu.
"Brother Niu, second brother, what's wrong?"
Niu Ye couldn't control his voice. Sanli heard the noise and ran out of the house.
"It's okay. The noise in the kitchen is a bit loud. I lowered my voice and Qiao Erqiang couldn't hear me."
"Sanli, it's okay, the two of us are just chatting." Qiao Erqiang also said.
"It's really nothing, just say whatever you have to say." Sanli said, still a little worried.
"It's okay, you just happened to come out, so I can go in and say goodbye to you. It's such a big holiday, so I should go home early."
With the second team so unsatisfactory, Niu Ye wanted to tell Sanli, but there was no need to choose a day when they would be reunited and happy during the holidays.
…
If you want to find Ma Suqin, it's most convenient to go to Erqiang's store. On weekends, Niu Ye went to Erqiang's restaurant before lunch.
It has been open for a long time, almost a year, but I visited Niuye once when it opened. This is the second time I come to Erqiang's store.
Ma Suqin does a good job. The place is not big and she keeps it very clean.
Qiao Erqiang is responsible for the back kitchen alone, and Ma Suqin can also be responsible for the front.
"Niu Ye, why are you here? I'm going to call the second strongman." Ma Suqin was quite surprised to see Niu Ye come in.
"I have something to do here today. It's almost noon. I haven't tasted Erqiang's craftsmanship for a long time, so I thought of coming to your place for dinner. You don't need to call Erqiang. Let him be busy first. I know how to eat.
There are so many things going on in the kitchen before ordering.”
"What do you want to eat? I'll let the second best do it first."
"Let's have a squirrel fish and a meatball, and let the two masters do it. I happen to have something I want to talk to you about."
Ma Suqin went to the back kitchen and informed Qiao Erqiang, then took the teapot, poured two cups of tea, and sat down with Niu Ye at the table farthest from the back kitchen.
"Second sister-in-law, since the second strongman married you, I should call you second sister-in-law. Do you still remember what you promised me when you wanted to save your ex-husband?"
Although everyone else's impression of Ma Suqin was not bad, as time went by, even Qiao Yicheng's attitude towards Ma Suqin softened a lot.
But it might be Ma Suqin's presence that made Niu Ye's mission difficult.
Niu Ye has never appreciated Ma Suqin and has never had a good impression of her.
"I haven't forgotten." Ma Suqin's expression changed for a moment, then quickly returned to normal, and she nodded.
"Second sister-in-law, since you haven't forgotten, you two have been married for almost a year, why haven't you heard the good news yet?"
After Niu Ye finished speaking, Ma Suqin remained silent. Niu Ye continued: "It's not like I didn't think about my second sister-in-law. She's already quite old and it might not be easy to have another child. So I told Er Qiang a few times.
After everything is over, take the second sister-in-law to the Provincial People's Hospital for a check-up. If there is no problem, it's best. If there is a problem, I can help the second sister-in-law contact some experts or something. The second sister-in-law has been perfunctory and unwilling to go there."
After Niu Ye finished speaking, Ma Suqin took a deep breath and said, "It's not the second strong one's fault, the problem lies with me."
"Second sister-in-law, I'd like to take the liberty to ask you if it's because of family planning. Back then, after you gave birth to a child, you took measures."
"Niuye, the second sister-in-law did take measures and did not remove it. But it is not the second sister-in-law who is not willing to give birth to a child for Erqiang. It's just my Zhiyong. He still can't accept it. There is another child in the family. Now Zhiyong finally accepts Erqiang.
, I don’t want the relationship between the two of them to get into trouble again because of this. After finishing Zhiyong’s work, the second sister-in-law will give birth to a child for Erqiang.”
When Ma Suqin said it, she was still very sincere. But women are born to be actors. When Ma Suqin was in the machinery factory, she would act in front of others and pretend to laugh. She is an old actor for so many years, and Niu Ye really can't tell the truth from the fake.
However, whether the child doesn't want to have another child in the family, or Ma Suqin herself doesn't want to because she is afraid that the second wife will have a biological child and it will be bad for the cheap son, the result is the same.
"How long will it take, one year, five years, or ten years? Even if you finish your son's work ten years later, will it still be useful?"
