The protagonist of the story, Wang Yitong, has a life path full of twists and turns. After graduation, she began her career, but emotional upheavals followed one after another.
In her first r...
My aunt said happily, "Having another child will give him a companion. But I guess we'll have to give birth in Hong Kong and register him as a Hong Kong resident. There's a fine here, and I'm worried it will affect my work. We've already packed up your house, so you can move in right away."
Then the food was ready, grandpa brought it out, and they started chatting again.
They'd already arranged for someone to clean the house, and her aunt-in-law even changed the mattress and duvet covers. She also bought daily necessities, kitchen supplies like rice, milk, and eggs, and put them in the refrigerator. The two communities weren't far from each other, so Wang Yitong now ate at her uncle's when she could, but sometimes she just made her own meals.
The reason they bought Chunshen Jingcheng was because there was a park nearby where they could walk their dogs. After Wang Yitong's uncle dropped her off, she packed her small wardrobe and quickly filled it up. She took Lele out and went to a nearby pet shop, where she asked the owner to deliver dog food and other essentials. She asked him to wait an hour for the delivery to her address. After walking the dog, she took him back to her apartment. Lele stayed home while the owner of the pet shop delivered the essentials.
Wang Yitong walked across the community to the nearby RT-Mart supermarket to do her shopping. She knew it would be difficult for her to move, but fortunately she bought a convenient shopping cart at the supermarket as soon as possible. Her aunt-in-law had already bought some things for her, and Wang Yitong added some more things and fruits.
After finishing the cleaning, Wang Yitong finally had time to call home and Zhou Yinuo to tell them about the situation.
Although my aunt was pregnant, she was in good shape. My uncle gave her his previous car to drive. Considering that the previous car would not be enough for the future with two children, he bought a Buick 7-seater. Fortunately, the house he bought was not far from his previous house, so there was a car parked in each community.
The next day, Wang Yitong's aunt took her to a nearby shopping mall. This time, Wang Yitong didn't bring any extra shoes. Wang Yitong also bought clothes for her aunt and cousin Dudu, as well as clothes and pants for her grandparents. Knowing that Wang Yitong was not short of money, her aunt gladly accepted the gifts.
At the suggestion of her aunt-in-law, Wang Yitong bought herself two pairs of sneakers, two pairs of mid-heel sandals, a water cup, a parasol, etc. She also bought skin care products, sunscreen, makeup remover, etc.
Once a woman starts shopping, she won't feel tired even if she spends the whole day there. When I brought the things I bought to my grandparents in the evening, although my grandfather didn't say thank you much, he still smiled and changed his clothes with my grandmother for everyone to see.
On Saturday, Wang Yitong went to a 4S dealership with his uncle to look at cars. The price of license plates is getting more and more expensive, so his uncle suggested that Wang Yitong buy a car as soon as possible. He was afraid of restrictions on car purchases in the future, which is why he quickly bought a second car.
After selling the car, she still had some money. When she left the company, Wang Yitong gave her mother, Chen Yin, the company seal, so she didn't use the company's name to buy the car this time. Ultimately, she chose a Buick LaCrosse because her uncle had just bought a car at the dealership, and the salesperson offered her the lowest discount. Wang Yitong quickly made her choice and paid the salesperson to help her with the documents and license plate. Shanghai is still too big, and having a car is more convenient for getting around.
Since it is an adult associate degree program, the courses are held at school in the evenings and weekends. Those who are able to pass the exam are people who have high demands on themselves and want to improve their academic qualifications.
Wang Yitong met two classmates here who left a deep impression on her. They exchanged contact information and became friends.
Mu Yisha, a 32-year-old married Shanghai native, has two children. The eldest, born in Hong Kong, is a Hong Kong citizen; the second, born just a few months old, is an American citizen, having been born in the United States at her expense. Mu Yisha usually lives in Shenzhen, chauffeuring the eldest to study in Hong Kong. During holidays, the children return to Shanghai to live with her parents. She explains that parents must strive to provide their children with more options for the future, especially since the Gaokao offers advantages over mainland China. This also made Wang Yitong realize firsthand the importance of household registration.
On Saturday afternoon, the three of them went to a restaurant for lunch. When Wang Yitong said that her household registration had just been moved to Shanghai,
Mu Yisha said: "You are only 21 years old now, and you are already thinking about living in a big city. You are already halfway ahead of the average person. What's more, you have started your own business, which is better than me relying on my parents. I was able to have children abroad because my parents provided financial support. However, I am also starting a business now, just purchasing some luxury goods on behalf of others. Hong Kong is much cheaper than the mainland.
I also work part-time at a postpartum care agency in Shenzhen, helping those who want to give birth in Hong Kong or the US connect with them and earn a small commission. You'd have no idea how many people give birth in these places, whether they're just couples or just people with aspirations. My second child is in kindergarten, so I'm going to the US to take care of him. My husband and I sold our house in Shanghai, and he's already bought a house there and started working. I didn't study hard before, so I have to get my bachelor's degree first before going to graduate school in the US. It just so happens that my second child will be in kindergarten by then, so I can take care of him.
After listening to her words, I saw that although she had an ordinary appearance and figure, she was full of energy and confidence.
"You can definitely do it. I admire you very much. Your children are so lucky to have a mother like you who cares about them. Also, my aunt is thinking about having a child in Hong Kong. I'll give her your number and I'll consult you later. People say that Shanghainese people look down on outsiders, but that's not the case with you at all."
"We weren't born and raised here. My parents came from Chengdu to work, and I was born later. We're just an ordinary family. I was just lucky to meet my husband, so I got married and had children early. We have to create good conditions for our children. Otherwise, why would we live apart now? It's all about making more money. You're not in bad shape now. If you can get to know more students with better conditions at this school, you won't have to struggle so much."
