After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback! - Chapter 1689

1689 Child Car Seat
Furthermore, Qiao Mei was pregnant! However, since Xia Zhe had promised Qiao Mei, he would have to teach her. He could not casually impose his own thinking on Qiao Mei.

Qiao Mei happily carried the two children and put them in the backseat. After thinking for a long time, she said, “If I’m going to drive, I’ll have to get child car seats for the two children.”

“Yes, we need to do that. I’ll give Eldest Brother a call later and ask him to buy it,” Xia Zhe said.

Child car seats were rare in this era, but they could still be bought. However, it would take some effort and connections to buy them. Sometimes, one might have to wait for up to half a month!

“How can we trouble Eldest Brother over such a small thing?” Qiao Mei said, feeling a little embarrassed.

It was one thing to trouble Eldest Brother in the capital, but now she even had to trouble him to buy the child car seats for her. Did she have to ask him for help with everything in the future?

Xia He was like her diplomatic officer in the capital, and Xia Wen was like her family’s assistant who stayed in the capital to handle all kinds of matters.

“It can’t be helped. He has so many friends! By the way, how far has it progressed for Eldest Brother and the Mo family?” Xia Zhe said with a smile.

The two brothers had a very good relationship and would not be calculative over such a matter. Xia Wen was also a person who was willing to render help. Sometimes, he would even get angry if they did not ask him for help!

“It’s progressing quite well. Based on what Mother says, she will let Mo Zhu decide on when she wants to get married. Moreover, Eldest Brother says he will hold a banquet this time so as to show respect for the Mo family,” Qiao Mei said.

“Yes, he should. When the time comes, we have to give Eldest Brother a big red packet,” Xia Zhe said seriously.

“Actually, I want to give Eldest Brother a house with a courtyard, like the one Xia He has. What do you think?” Qiao Mei asked.

Without even thinking, Xia Zhe immediately said, “No, Eldest Brother won’t accept it. If you give him money, he might still take it. If you buy him a house, he definitely won’t accept it.”

Qiao Mei had no choice but to give up on this idea. In any case, there would be many opportunities in the future and she had many houses in her possession. She would wait for a suitable opportunity to buy a siheyuan courtyard house for Xia Wen’s family.

Xia Zhe guided Qiao Mei to drive around the army base. Qiao Mei picked up most of the skills she needed and could be considered to have learned well. Late at night, Xia Zhe packed his luggage and returned to the army camp to go on a mission. This time round, he would stay in the mountains for a week with the new recruits. He would not be back for one week.

The next day, at the crack of dawn, Qiao Mei asked a soldier from the guard station at the base of the mountain to come over. Xia Zhe had previously given her a pass with which she could ask for assistance from the guard station. All the soldiers there used to be in his team, so as long as it was something that Qiao Mei wanted to do, they would help her.

“How should I address you?” Qiao Mei asked with a smile.

“Sister-in-law, you can just call me Zhu Zi. That’s what everyone calls me,” Zhu Zi said shyly.

This was the first time Zhu Zi had seen Qiao Mei. Previously, he had only heard that Xia Zhe’s wife was very beautiful, but he did not expect her to be this good-looking. To him, she looked like a fairy.

“Zhu Zi, can you drive me and the children back to the capital?” Qiao Mei asked.

“No problem!” Zhu Zi said.

They were all soldiers who had undergone strict training. They could even operate tanks and fly planes, let alone drive a car!

Zhu Zi was a steady driver and they reached the capital very quickly. When Qiao Mei carried Xia Fan and Xia Xing into Xu Lan’s house, Xu Lan widened her eyes and thought that she was imagining things.

“Why are you back? Didn’t you just go over there? Did Xia Zhe bully you?” Xu Lan asked.

“No! It’s just that I want to ask Eldest Brother for help with something,” Qiao Mei said as she looked at Xia Wen, who was sitting at the side.

Xia Wen said in a knowing manner, “Is it about child car seats?”

“Eldest Brother, how do you know?” Qiao Mei asked Xia Wen in shock.

“I’ve already thought about this issue. It’s just that I didn’t expect you to want to drive. Still, no matter what, the children will definitely have to sit in the car at some point. So when I went on a business trip last month, I had already asked my friend to help me buy two child car seats and told him to bring them back with him on his flight,” Xia Wen said.

“Eldest Brother is so thoughtful! I didn’t even think about these things,” Qiao Mei said.

“Stay in the capital for a few days. The child car seats will be here the day after tomorrow. You can go back after the license plate and the car seats are installed,” Xia Wen instructed.
