Xiao Hua received 100 million from Zhou Musheng. 100 million was an astronomical sum in the early 1990s.

Zhou Musheng suggested from the beginning that she buy a piece of land and build a school building herself, and he could invest more. However, Xiaohua felt that it was not good to set such a high starting point.

However, it was difficult to find a decent school to rent, and many things were not yet perfect in the early 1990s. Although some abandoned schools were found, they were really dilapidated and unusable even after repairs.

Starting a business is not as simple as Xiaohua thought. Even though she is not worried about funding now, she has been searching for a suitable school for many days and still hasn't found one. Not only is she exhausted every day, but she also wants to lie in bed and do nothing when she gets home.

She didn't even have the heart to spend time with the children. Fortunately, He Yan would be on a long vacation, so he could take the children out to play.

After Ye Dazhuang finished chemotherapy, Xiao Hua went to Beicheng to send them back to their hometown, which delayed them for a few more days. Then university started and Kang An started kindergarten.

Fortunately, He Yan's vacation lasts for more than two months, which can at least help her get through the initial adjustment period when Kang An starts kindergarten.

This finally shows how important his biological father is.

Xiaohua has a family and children, and she also has to start a business and do part-time jobs. She can't live on campus, so she explained to the school that she had applied for day student status. The school was very humane and agreed to let her not live on campus.

On the first day of military training, Xiaohua ran into an acquaintance, or more precisely, a girl who looked a lot like her best friend from her college days in her previous life.

The two seemed to be destined by fate, and they hit it off immediately.

The pretty young woman introduced herself: "Hello, my name is Ru Jiali, and yours is..."

Xiaohua was stunned the moment she learned her name.

Because her college friend, Ru Shangqing's mother, was named Ru Jiali, and because this surname was very rare, she took her mother's surname. At the time, she was very proud to say that she took her mother's surname. Her mother's name was Ru Jiali, a female college student in the 1990s who studied at Shanghai Jiaotong University. Xiaohua thought that both the surname and the given name sounded very nice, so she had a very deep impression of her.

Fate is truly wondrous; she actually met her friend's mother from a past life on the very first day of military training—it's amazing!

Speaking of her good friend Ru Shangqing, she is a really nice person. When she was in college in her previous life, her parents hardly gave her any living expenses. Ru Shangqing would always drag her to the cafeteria. She would order a lot of food and say that she couldn't finish it and it would be such a waste. She would ask Ru Shangqing to help her finish the food.

"Ru Jiali, your name is so nice. My name is Ye Xiaohua, which is a bit rustic."

Ru Jiali read her name aloud: "No, Xiaohua, it's a very nice name. It sounds cute and interesting."

Xiao Hua was stunned for a moment. In her past life, Ru Shangqing had said the same thing to her: "Xiao Hua, your name isn't old-fashioned. It sounds cute and interesting."

When Ru Jiali learned that Xiao Hua was married and had a three-year-old daughter, and that she herself had been admitted to university as a social candidate, she admired her greatly. She believed that girls should never give up the opportunity to learn, no matter what.

Ru Jiali is only 19 years old this year, while Xiao Hua is already 25. The two are six years apart, but they quickly became best friends who can talk about anything. Perhaps this is just a mysterious fate!

After half a month of military training, Xiao Hua became darker and thinner. He Yan felt sorry for her and made soup at home. He even took the best ginseng that someone had given to his mother and made ginseng chicken soup. Su Qin was so angry that she pointed at his nose and cursed him, saying that he had forgotten his mother after getting married and that he was a heartless bastard.

After He Yan finished cooking, she removed the ginseng and shredded the chicken into small strips so that it would be easier for her and her son to eat.

He took it to Xiaohua's house and asked the aunt to say that she had cooked it, because he was afraid that Xiaohua would refuse to eat it if she knew that he had cooked it.

Xiao Hua returned home at 9:30 PM, and He Yan had been waiting at home the whole time.

Auntie didn't live at home before, but ever since Xiaohua went to college, Xiaohua has been paying Auntie more money and asking her to stay at home with Kang'an at night.

When she returned and saw that He Yan was still there, she frowned and asked somewhat unhappily, "Why aren't you leaving yet, it's so late?"

He Yan quickly explained, "Kang An is a little unaccustomed to kindergarten and has some emotional issues. I told her stories and sang songs to her and just managed to lull her to sleep."

“These aunties can do it too, but you should try to leave my house before 7:30 pm in the future.”

Xiao Hua allowed Kang An to come to her house, but she wouldn't allow him to stay until the middle of the night. Of course, 9:30 pm wasn't really the middle of the night yet.

“I am her father, and I believe I can do a better job than the nanny. Besides, you are so busy now that you don’t have time to spend with her. If I don’t spend more time with her, it will be detrimental to her development.”

Xiaohua thought He Yan's words made sense, but then she realized that this was just an excuse for He Yan to stay late, so she retorted, "When your vacation is over, the nanny will still have to do all this."

He Yan immediately shut up and pointed to the soup on the table: "Eat something before you go to sleep. Auntie worked hard to make you this chicken soup. You've lost a lot of weight recently."

Speaking of food, Xiaohua was indeed very hungry. She sat down, ladled herself a bowl of soup, and drank it down in a few gulps. Then she ate large mouthfuls of chicken.

Seeing that she enjoyed the food, He Yan smiled faintly, trying to please her.

"You can eat slowly, I'm leaving."

After finishing her meal, Xiao Hua took a shower and tiptoed to open the door. Kang An was sleeping soundly, holding a new doll in her arms. It looked like He Yanxin had bought it for her. Xiao Hua gently kissed her forehead.

She ran her fingers through her hair. Lately, she really felt sorry for her precious daughter. Too many things were mixed up, and she had no time to take care of her child. On Kang An's first day of kindergarten, she just accompanied He Yan to drop her off at school and then rushed back to school by herself.

“Baby, I’m ashamed to say that I did all this for you. In the end, I was doing it for myself. I worked so hard to achieve great success in my career and neglected to spend time with you.”

Kang An and He Yan have recognized each other. Although she doesn't like He Yan, to be fair, He Yan is a very responsible father based on his current performance. She just doesn't work hard. Even if Kang An just relies on He Yan and the He family, she can still live a wealthy life like a young lady.

If she used to work hard to earn money for her children, now she works more for herself, to live this life without regrets.

After apologizing to the child, Xiaohua quietly opened the door and went out; she still had many things to do.

Seeing how busy and tired she was, Zhou Musheng suggested that she wait until after she graduated from university to start the education and training school. But she knew that time waits for no one, and maybe in a year or two, someone else would put her idea into action.

If you can't be the first to try something new, all your subsequent efforts will be in vain.

Therefore, she had no choice but to fight desperately!
