After the full moon, Ye Fangfei had to return to work. The couple was worried about what to do with Xiao Yue Liang while she was at the office. They could send her to a daycare, but Xiao Yue Liang was still too young, and they didn't feel comfortable with that option.
In the end, it was Ye Fangfei who suggested that since the child was so small, she would take her to work. It would also make it easier for her to breastfeed. "I'll take her with me to the office. You bought her a stroller, so I can push her around while I work. If she gets tired, she can nap in the stroller," Ye Fangfei said. "We can manage like this for now and look for someone suitable to help us take care of her."
Tang Zhicheng didn't have a better solution and agreed to this plan. "Alright, my dear, you just bear with it for a few days. I'll find someone as soon as possible."
The next day, Ye Fangfei left home half an hour early. As she pushed the stroller into the office, Wang Dan happened to pass by. Seeing Ye Fangfei with the stroller, she realized that she had brought her child along.
The current workplace was quite accommodating towards women with children. For mothers like Ye Fangfei, who had no one at home to watch their kids, as long as their work wasn't affected, the leaders generally turned a blind eye.
"Xiao Ye, you brought Xiao Yue Liang with you?" Wang Dan approached and looked at the stroller.
"Yes, there’s no one at home to look after her, so I brought her along," Ye Fangfei replied cautiously as she lifted the blanket covering the stroller, revealing her daughter sleeping soundly inside.
"This stroller is quite nice; it fits the child perfectly," Wang Dan remarked as she examined it.
The stroller was made of bamboo, approximately one meter long, half a meter wide, and one meter high. It had two layers: the child slept on top while the bottom held some of her belongings. The stroller had four wheels for easy maneuvering.
Ye Fangfei had wrapped the sides of the stroller in plastic to keep out the cold wind. She also added two extra layers of blankets so that her child wouldn’t feel cold inside.
"Well, what else could I do? It’s freezing outside with that biting north wind; wrapping it in plastic keeps out the draft," Ye Fangfei explained.
"Isn't that right? The wind is especially strong today; even wearing my cotton coat feels like it's not enough," Wang Dan agreed.
Ye Fangfei pushed the small cart to a sheltered spot next to her table. She bent down to check under the child, feeling that the diaper was still dry. Knowing the child hadn’t wet it, she pulled the blanket on the cart back up halfway and began her work.
For the next few days, Ye Fangfei pushed the child to and from work every day.
“Dear, I have to go out on a long trip again tomorrow. Can you manage on your own? If not, I can ask Mom to keep you company,” Tang Zhicheng said, preparing for his upcoming journey.
It had been two months since Tang Zhicheng last went on a long trip, and Aunt Fang had been taking care of things during that time. However, he couldn’t avoid going out forever; after all, the team wasn’t solely under Aunt Fang’s control. If he stayed away too long, others would start to voice their opinions. Besides, Tang Zhicheng himself wanted to go out. After all, only by going out could he earn some extra money. He was still thinking about getting a gold bracelet for his daughter.
“I can manage by myself; you don’t need to worry,” Ye Fangfei replied. “By the way, today Aunt Zhao told me she could help take care of Xiao Yue Liang. What do you think?”
“Aunt Zhao? Why did she suddenly bring that up?” Tang Zhicheng asked.
“I ran into her at the entrance when I was coming back from work with Xiao Yue Liang. She saw me pushing the child and asked if I needed help.”
