Although I still brought a lot of bags home this time, many of them were for the baby. This year I brought fewer things for everyone, and I could obviously feel that some people were not in such a good mood.

Xia Ruzheng no longer cared about these things. There were too many things for her to care about now, and she couldn't take care of them all one by one.

The baby is very well behaved. I taught him to call grandpa and grandma at home, and he calls them that obediently. However, he still doesn’t know how to call uncle, aunt, etc. It takes several times of teaching.

The second sister-in-law, who was feeding the baby, heard the baby talking and said, "It's quite smart, but why doesn't it sound like our language? Wenya will become a Cantonese in the future!"

What a joke... How could the baby understand Mandarin or dialect? He just learned what others taught him. It's really not easy for him to learn so quickly. Xia Ruzheng looked at his mother-in-law's face again, and it was indeed not so good.

Xia Ruzheng held the baby in his arms and said calmly, "Baby, everyone over there basically speaks Mandarin. Who can she talk to when she speaks her hometown dialect? Do we have to let her speak her hometown dialect to others in the future when they won't understand her?"

While Xia Ruzheng himself doesn't mind speaking dialect, it's a different story for his children. If a child only speaks their native dialect, they'll be embarrassed to speak, feeling like they don't belong. Xia Ruzheng doesn't want her child to be ostracized. Furthermore, Xia Ruzheng has discovered that there's a certain level of xenophobia everywhere. Some Cantonese people will change their attitude if they discover you're not from the area, and may even refuse to do business with you. To address this, the couple even invested the effort to learn Cantonese!

The second sister-in-law was speechless after the rebuttal, but the mother-in-law's expression did not improve, so Xia Ruzheng paid more attention to her.

In fact, the baby is quite popular among relatives. She is well-kept, pretty, and obedient. She does whatever you ask her to do. Unlike some other children who like to occupy everything, she is willing to share. So everyone thinks the baby is a very good child, even though she is a girl.

Wen Zhichao was busy getting the child's household registration registered. Although the government was closed, the officials still needed to send gifts, so Wen Zhichao was often away from home. Xia Ruzheng noticed that when Wen Zhichao was away, the baby was visibly nervous, but when he returned, the baby felt relieved.

Xia Ruzheng told Wen Zhichao about this. Wen Zhichao touched the baby's head. He loved his daughter very much, but that didn't mean others loved her too. At least his parents were not like that. Even though this granddaughter was rarely seen once a year, they still treated her better than those grandchildren they could see every day.

"It seems the baby still isn't used to it here."

"Yeah, my sister-in-law also said that the baby can't speak the local language. How can she understand the dialect? She has learned some in the past few days."

Wen Zhichao was obviously a little angry, but he didn't say it out loud. He said, "Don't worry about them. We won't be staying at home for long anyway."

Xia Ruzheng nodded. If there weren't elderly people at home, who would be willing to come back? Could it be that he came back to see how they looked?

"Zhichao, the baby will go to school in Guangzhou, right?"

"Of course!"

On this return, Wen Zhichao realized how different his baby was from the other children here. The other children's clothes were all stained, but his baby's were spotless. The other children had runny noses, but his baby was spotless. The other children might have smelled, but his baby was fresh and clean, with a hint of soap. He couldn't imagine his daughter turning into one of those mud monkeys.

"Well, studying in Guangzhou has a lot of requirements. Should we start preparing?"

Children can start school at the age of five or six, but there are many things to prepare for going to school. Children think that they can just go with their schoolbags, but parents have to deal with the household registration issue before the school will accept them. Otherwise, they have to pay money and go through various procedures.

This is the second time Xia Ruzheng has mentioned this matter.

In the past, Xia Ruzheng felt that she should still consider the elderly in the family. The elderly might be reluctant to leave if their household registration was moved. But now it seems that people don’t know that Xia Ruzheng thinks so much about them, and it’s not worth it. As parents, she didn’t understand how they treated Wen Zhichao before, nor did she comment. But after she married Wen Zhichao, she didn’t find that the parents poured more affection into this special child, nor did they have the same affection as for other children. Now that Wen Zhichao has made some money, they are thinking about sharing the benefits and asking for benefits for other children.

Sometimes, when Wen Zhichao received a letter from home, he would pretend to be casual and put it away, not showing it to Xia Ruzheng. He would just verbally explain what the letter was about, but Xia Ruzheng gradually figured it out. Was it because the letter asked for money that Wen Zhichao withheld it from Xia Ruzheng? Although banks were not yet widely available, post offices could transfer money.

From the perspective of a wife, Xia Ruzheng feels sorry for her husband's efforts. From the perspective of a daughter-in-law, Xia Ruzheng feels that her parents-in-law are very unfair!

So Xia Ruzheng wanted to get out of this environment. Now the two of them have their own children and their own careers. There are more things to worry about and consider. She will not allow her husband to continue to make such an unpredictable contribution to this family that has never treated him fairly.

Wen Zhichao thought about it and finally nodded, "I'll take care of this matter, don't worry about it. The baby still has a few years to go to school, so there's no need to rush."

Xia Ruzheng nodded.

Wen Zhichao hugged his wife, sighing silently. It's said that mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law always have conflicts. Wen Zhichao wouldn't discuss other families, but in his own family, he knew his wife was devoted to him, not because of her personal preferences, but because he was her husband. She was complaining about him. Wen Zhichao also asked himself: "Over the years, I have a clear conscience towards my parents and siblings. I have done everything I could, but I can't sacrifice my wife and children for them."
