The Xia family of three walked along the path in the community, listening to the birds chirping and smelling the faint fragrance of flowers. This is the only time of year in Shenzhen where you can still smell the fragrance of flowers. The bright moonlight stretched the family's shadows long.

Li Chunmei waved her hand, "I didn't expect that becoming godparents would be so troublesome. Just thinking about it gives me a headache."

Xia Jianguo held Li Chunmei's hand and said, "Take it slow, solve one thing at a time, and it won't be difficult."

Li Chunmei said, "I forgot to call my parents to tell them about this today, and I don't know if they will object."

Xia Jianguo said, "Calling tomorrow will be the same; I guess they won't object. I remember my mother-in-law has a godson; he came to our wedding, but we haven't seen him much since. Don't you remember him?"

After carefully recalling the incident, Li Chunmei found no recollection of this person. "I don't remember. Who told you about this?"

"It seems to be your second uncle. He was the one who led me and handed out cigarettes to everyone on our wedding day. That man looked older than my brother-in-law. I bet you haven't seen him much. Anyway, let's not talk about him. If you're curious, you can ask your mother-in-law tomorrow."

Xia Jianguo changed the subject and asked, "Why isn't Xiaomin saying anything?"

Xia Minmin said, "I'm thinking about whether I have any responsibilities to fulfill after becoming a godfather?"

Hearing their daughter's earnest words, Xia Jianguo and Li Chunmei both laughed so hard they couldn't stand up straight.

Xia Jianguo explained to his young daughter, "You don't need to fulfill any responsibilities. Just interact with your uncle and aunt as you normally would. When you grow up, you should bring gifts to visit your godfather every year on holidays and his birthday."

Li Chunmei continued, "You are still young, and your parents can help you with all of this. But when you turn eighteen, you will have to learn to handle these social interactions on your own."

Xia Minmin said dejectedly, "It feels so hard! The adult world is really tough! I don't want to grow up!"

Li Chunmei put her hand on her daughter's shoulder and comforted her, "No one stays young forever. Mom and Dad will grow old one day and won't be able to accompany you forever. You have to learn to grow up on your own. But don't be afraid, Mom and Dad will accompany you as you grow up."

Xia Minmin got home a little late, so she took her pajamas from the closet and went to take a shower. She had to be quick, otherwise she would fall asleep as soon as her biological clock kicked in.

The first thing Xia Jianguo does when he gets home every day is to take the clothes down from the balcony, fold them, and put them in their respective rooms. This is his designated area for household chores.

Xia Minmin, who had just finished showering, was already walking unsteadily and looked like she was about to fall asleep.

Seeing his daughter stumbling, Xia Jianguo quickly ran over, half-squatting down and spreading his arms to form a protective circle, ready to catch his daughter if she fell.

Li Chunmei shook her head, took out her camera from the drawer and took pictures. Her bottom line on spoiling her daughter was constantly being broken by Xia Jianguo. Before their daughter was born, they had agreed on a loving mother and a strict father, but now it had become a strict mother and a loving father.

When Xia Jianguo came out of Xia Minmin's room, he saw Li Chunmei holding a camera and looking very proud.

"Xia Jianguo, I took pictures of you being a sycophant. If you dare to mess with me, I will make these photos public."

Xia Jianguo didn't say anything, he just watched Li Chunmei perform quietly.

Having received no response, Li Chunmei had no choice but to awkwardly put down the camera she was holding and take her clothes to take a shower.

As soon as Li Chunmei entered the restroom, Xia Jianguo burst out laughing. Sure enough, no response was the best response.

If he responds, Li Chunmei will definitely keep arguing, and if the argument goes on for too long, the two of them will have a conflict.

Before going to sleep with the lights off, Xia Jianguo kept thinking about his daughter's biological clock.

"Chunmei, do you think our daughter can adjust her biological clock? In a little over a year, she will be in the third year of junior high school, and there will be three evening self-study sessions. Will she be able to adapt?"

Li Chunmei snorted coldly and didn't reply, probably still unhappy about the camera.

Xia Jianguo reached out and nudged Li Chunmei's shoulder. Li Chunmei immediately moved away, and Xia Jianguo moved next to her until Li Chunmei moved to the edge of the bed.

Li Chunmei suddenly turned around and landed right in Xia Jianguo's arms. "Chunmei, it's my fault. Please don't be angry anymore, okay? I promise I won't tease you anymore!"

Li Chunmei's voice was slightly shy, "If you keep doing this, I'll really get angry, and I won't be able to coax you back. I'll forgive you this time."

Xia Jianguo carried Li Chunmei to the middle of the bed, gently patted her back, and slowly Xia Jianguo's movements became slower and slower until the two of them fell asleep.

Xia Minmin was already awake before the alarm clock rang. She had already made holiday plans before the winter vacation even started.

When Xia Jianguo and Li Chunmei got up, she had been studying for almost an hour.

After a simple breakfast at home, Li Chunmei and Xia Jianguo went about their business. The eve of the holiday is the busiest time for the small commodity wholesale store.

jingle…

The phone rang at home.

Xia Minmin put down her pen and ran to answer the phone.

"Hello?"

"Is this Xiaomin? It's Mengmeng. Can you come shopping for clothes with me tomorrow?"

"Then you'll have to wait for me, I haven't changed into my outdoor clothes yet."

"I'll wait for you downstairs at your apartment building. Bye-bye."

Tang Meng hung up the phone after speaking, and Xia Minmin quickly changed her clothes, grabbed her keys, and went downstairs.

Tang Meng paced back and forth downstairs in the apartment building with her head down.

"Mengmeng, I'm here. Have you been waiting for a long time?"

Xia Minmin reached out and linked arms with her best friend.

"Xiaomin, where did you go yesterday? I called you yesterday but no one answered."

Xia Minmin told her about her experience yesterday.
