Chapter 188 (First Update) Mom and Dad went to eat something delicious…

In all the years of their marriage, Fu Ci had never seen his wife get up so readily.

Even if I go to bed early the night before and get enough sleep, I will still roll around in bed and stay in bed after I open my eyes.

However, today, a single sentence from her daughter made Fu Ci, who was clearly still sleepy, get up quickly. This kind of wife shocked and moved Fu Ci greatly.

Perhaps this is how his wife acts when he's not home.

When she's just herself, she can stay in bed and not get up. But when she's a mother, she can unhesitatingly fulfill her daughter's every request.

Yes, he needs to reflect on this.

As a father, he has done far too little.

I deeply reflected on my mistakes and worked exceptionally hard today, fulfilling every little request my daughter made.

Even after his daughter heard a fairy tale and suddenly had a bright idea that she wanted a magic wand too, he planned to make one using the limited resources available to his daughter while she was taking a nap.

Tang Mingli couldn't help but remind her, "Among the storybooks you bought, there's one about Shuke and Beta. Be careful, your daughter might make you build an airplane."

Fu Ci took his wife's words as a joke and laughed, "It's okay, I'll make one for her too."

Although she had great faith in Fu Ci's abilities, building an airplane was a highly specialized field that not just anyone could do.

Tang Mingli rested her chin on her hand, looked at him and smiled, "Don't underestimate a child's wild imagination."

A while ago, my daughter became obsessed with the songs of the Galaxy Children's Art Troupe. Every time she saw them on TV, she would blink her innocent big eyes and say she wanted to see them perform live. This almost drove her crazy, and she had already started thinking about who to ask for help.

Fortunately, children's interests are often short-lived. Later, he became obsessed with Black Cat Detective and forgot all about the Galaxy Boys Choir.

As it turned out, Tang Mingli's concerns were justified.

When Fu Yu woke up, she found that her father had made a magic wand just like the ones in fairy tales. She was so happy that she held the wand tightly and kept praising him, saying, "Dad is so amazing."

Fu Ci, thus, became lost in the praise.

Until his daughter asked in her clear voice, "Daddy, can you build an airplane just like Shuke's?"

Upon hearing this, Fu Ci froze on the spot, unable to react, while Tang Mingli and her mother-in-law burst out laughing.

Madam Fu laughed and said, "Mingli was right."

Fu's mother deliberately said to her son, "This is what happens when you don't listen to your wife. You're now suffering the consequences and have dug a hole for yourself."

Seeing that her father remained silent, Fu Yu blinked her big, dark eyes, like grapes, and asked, "Dad, can't you do it?"

Can't do it?

The three words struck straight to the top of his head.

As a father, how could I not do it?

He wanted to answer firmly: How could I not do it?

But that's an airplane. Let alone being able to fly, even assembling a model would be difficult.

The proud old father was feeling quite frustrated at this moment, his mind racing as he tried to figure out if he could build a model airplane.

Finally, Tang Mingli, who was laughing uncontrollably, answered for him.

"Honey, have you forgotten what Daddy does?"

Fu Yu hadn't forgotten, and answered loudly, "In business."

"Yes, Dad is in business; only aerospace engineers can build airplanes."

"That's true."

Fu Yu is a child who can be reasoned with, and she was not disappointed because her father could not build airplanes.

But Fu Ci still felt that he had wronged his daughter.

“Sweetie, even though Daddy can’t build airplanes, Daddy can buy you one in the future.”

"Really?" Fu Yu's eyes widened, her face full of joy.

"real."

Fu Ci reached out his hand and made a pinky promise with his daughter.

All the adults present knew that Fu Ci was not just saying that; he always kept his promises to his daughter.

Just buying a plane, how much would that cost?

Even Tang Mingli, who firmly believed that her wealth would definitely increase in the future, couldn't help but consider this issue.

Even just buying a small private jet would cost hundreds of millions.

She didn't doubt that Fu Ci would definitely become a moderately wealthy man in the future, but she never imagined he would become a billionaire.

Now, she has to start thinking about it.

He might even have to contribute to this goal, otherwise Fu Ci might become a father who only talks empty words in front of his daughter.

As the whole family's attention was focused on Fu Yu, the phone rang.

Sitting closest to the telephone, Mrs. Fu muttered to herself who was calling at this hour as she reached for the receiver.

After saying "hello," he looked at Fu Ci.

"Son, it's for you."

Fu Ci raised an eyebrow, thinking that the factory needed to talk to him about something, and felt a little uneasy.

I've only been back for a day.

However, after listening to the phone call, I found that it wasn't what I thought.

He answered the phone with a frown, but after a couple of sentences, the corners of his mouth kept turning up in a smile.

Tang Mingli could tell from her husband's expression that the phone call must have brought good news.

Sure enough, after hanging up the phone, before anyone could ask, Fu Ci told everyone that the house issue had been resolved.

The Fu family all know that Fu Ci has been looking for an apartment in Shenzhen for the past six months, but he hasn't found a suitable one yet after a long search.

Now that there's finally news, Tang Mingli hurriedly asked, "Tell me quickly."

Fu Ci gave a brief explanation of the situation of the two houses, and Tang Mingli was very satisfied after listening.

"I'll go see my cousin tomorrow and talk to her about it."

Fu Ci nodded, "I'll go with you."

Tang Mingli glanced at her daughter and said very considerately, "You rarely come back, so stay home and spend more time with your daughter."

Anyway, I have a car, it only takes about ten minutes to drive there.

Fu Ci replied, "I happen to have something to discuss with my cousin. I'll spend time with my daughter when I get back."

"Oh, okay? Let's go together tomorrow then."

I should call my cousin before I go to arrange a time. Although she doesn't own a clothing store, my cousin's life is still very fulfilling, and she might not be home if I just show up unannounced.

-

Because they had something to discuss, the two decided not to bring their daughter. The next day, they quietly left the house when she wasn't looking.

Fu Yu came to her senses and realized that her parents were gone. She pouted sadly, and large tears fell from her eyes.

"Dad, Mom..."

Mrs. Fu quickly picked up her granddaughter, saying, "My little darling, Mommy and Daddy have gone out to run some errands. We'll be back when we're done."

Fu Yu shook her head vigorously: "Grandma is lying to me."

"Why would Grandma lie to you?"

Fu's mother was puzzled as to why her child would say such a thing.

Mingli usually goes out, and the child never cries. Why did she cry immediately when she saw her parents weren't there, and even accused her of lying to her?

Fu Yu shook her head and tearfully told her grandmother, "I heard it all last night."

"What did you hear?"

"My parents said we should eat and drink well."

Waaah, Mom and Dad went out for a delicious meal but didn't take her with them. I'm so sad.

Mrs. Fu was taken aback, but couldn't help laughing after she came to her senses.

Good heavens, what are her son and daughter-in-law secretly talking about at night instead of sleeping?

While laughing, Fu's mother coaxed her granddaughter, "Grandma promises you, your dad and I really did have something to do when we went out today. We definitely didn't sneak out to eat and drink behind your back."

"real?"

"Really, Grandma promises."

Knowing that her parents weren't secretly going out to enjoy a life of luxury, Fu Yu wasn't so sad anymore.

Fu's mother picked up a fairy tale book and told her a story, and she quickly forgot about it.

Meanwhile, Fu Ci and Tang Mingli arrived at the Tang family home.

First, they talked about the house in Shenzhen. Tang Mingmei and her parents both felt that this house was particularly suitable. Not only was the environment good, but it was also close to schools and hospitals.

Although the price is not cheap, they can afford it.

Tang Mingmei didn't hesitate much and immediately said to the cashier, "We'll buy the house, and we'll wire the money to you later."

He then looked at his mother and said, "Mom, go to the bank tomorrow and withdraw the fixed deposit in your name."

Li Hong agreed, but her heart inexplicably began to race, and her face flushed.

She said somewhat embarrassedly to Tang Mingli and Fu Ci, "I don't know why, but I was really looking forward to the house being settled soon. Now that it's almost settled, I'm a little anxious."

Tang Mingli understood why her aunt was like that.

"After all, it's normal to feel uneasy about leaving a place you've lived in for many years and starting over in a completely unfamiliar place."

Tang Mingmei felt somewhat guilty when she thought about how her parents, at their age, had to leave their hometown because of her.

Fortunately, despite their unease, the two elderly people were of one mind about moving the whole family.

For our daughter, for our granddaughter, and for a better life, going to Shenzhen together was the right thing to do.

As for not being used to it, you'll get used to it over time.

Li Hong asked Fu Ci, "When will the house paperwork be completed?"

Fu Ci smiled and said, "This will take some time. After completing the formalities, we'll need to do some simple tidying up. We won't be able to move in until next year."

Li Hong felt much better knowing that she wouldn't be able to move in until next year at the earliest, as there was still plenty of time for her to prepare mentally.

Tang Mingmei, however, was somewhat anxious. She had been resting for a while, and although she occasionally helped people select goods during her break, it wasn't her main job. If she couldn't settle down again until next year, she would have to seriously think about what serious business to do.

Just as I was dozing off, my cousin and her husband handed me a pillow.

Tang Mingli asked with a smile, "Sister, actually we came here today to discuss something with you."

"What's up?"

Tang Mingli looked at her husband: "You tell him."

Fu Ci nodded and told Tang Mingmei about his idea of ​​opening a shop.

After hearing this, Tang Mingmei felt as if a pie had fallen from the sky.

Not only her, but also Tang Jianguo and Li Hong.

It would be a lie to say that they weren't worried about making a living after moving their whole family to Shenzhen.

Fu Ci wanted Mingmei to be the store manager, saying it was because she had experience running a clothing store, but in their eyes it was just helping them out of family ties.

Li Hong's eyes instantly welled up with tears.

Thinking about how he had treated Mingli in the past, he felt even more ashamed.

She wanted to thank Mingli and Fuci, but seeing the three young people talking so enthusiastically, she didn't want to interrupt.

My heartfelt gratitude can only be expressed through today's sumptuous lunch.

In fact, when the conversation went on to discuss the specific details of the shop, Tang Mingli couldn't get a word in edgewise. After listening for a while, she saw her aunt busy in the kitchen, so she simply got up and went to help.

Li Hong was unwilling to let her into the kitchen, but she couldn't get her to leave no matter how many times she tried to push her away.

Tang Mingli smiled and said, "I know I can't be of much help, I'll just watch from the side. If you need a taste test, I'll try it for you."

Just then, Li Hong's stewed chicken was about to be served, so she picked up a piece and gave it to Tang Mingli to try.

Tang Mingli took a bite and found it so delicious that she immediately gave it a thumbs up.

"It's delicious. Auntie's chicken is always so delicious. I used to look forward to having a couple of bites of your chicken during the Chinese New Year."

Upon hearing this, tears welled up in Li Hong's eyes instantly.

Mingli really liked the chicken she cooked, but in the old days, eating meat was too luxurious, and she would be glared at if she wanted to eat a few more bites.

Li Hong felt ashamed and said to Tang Mingli, "Your uncle and aunt are sorry. You suffered so much when you lived with us all those years."

Tang Mingli made a casual remark without thinking much about it, and she certainly didn't expect it to make her aunt feel guilty. She quickly smiled and said, "Actually, you and Uncle didn't let me go hungry."

Although all the good things were given to her cousin, in those years when starvation was not uncommon, it was thanks to them that she was able to survive.

Li Hong was grateful for her niece's generosity. She held her hand and said, choking back tears, "Child, thank you."

Thank you for her generosity in letting go of the past, and thank you for being willing to help Mingmei again and again.
