Opening her eyes, Chen Hong was reborn. She was reborn just before she was about to take her children back to her parents' home. Not wanting to live a life of looking at others' faces for a...
"It will be difficult to get along with the children in the future. Boys and girls are different, and I won't be able to take care of two children."
Yesterday I visited Aunt Liu and Aunt Wang and asked them to help me pick up my child whenever they had free time!
I can't just stay in Jinan and let our savings go to waste. My child has only just started first grade; there are still ten years or so ahead of us, and that's going to cost a fortune.
Chen Hong's father got angry as soon as he heard this, slammed the wine cup on the table, and asked, "Whose idea was this? Don't you have any serious business to attend to all day?"
What are you thinking? There are four of us adults taking care of two kids, and we're already overwhelmed every day!
Eating, drinking, relieving oneself, washing and cleaning—these are all things that need to be done, right? She also has to pick up and drop off her child at school twice a day. We can't help her, so let's not cause her any trouble!
Xiaohong, don't listen to their nonsense. Just take care of the child and do what you need to do. How you live your life is your decision!
Chen Hongge quickly chimed in, "Sister, don't listen to Mom and your sister-in-law's nonsense."
I've thought about it. My dad and I will work hard for two years and try to buy a house in Jinan by the year after next at the latest.
We'll send both kids to school in Jinan, and we won't have to pay any fees. We'll rent out the land and move the whole family to Jinan.
"Your dad and I won't have to rush home every day to do chores anymore, your mom can stay home and take care of the kids, and your sister-in-law can finally find a job."
After saying that, she looked at her father and sister apologetically, "If we don't have enough money, we'll have to borrow some from you and Xiaoyun."
Don't worry, you can help me raise the down payment, and I'll also apply for a loan when I buy the house.
Now I've thought it through. Having some debt gives me something to look forward to, and I'll work hard from now on.
I know that the money for the car was given to Dad by you, and I know that, so I'd like to thank you here.
Don't worry, I won't hold you two sisters back. Even if I can't work hard, I can still earn a decent living driving a taxi."
Chen Hong never expected her brother to say such a thing. In her previous life, her brother had never shown any enthusiasm for making a living on his own.
When her father, her only support, fell from grace, her two daughters, still minors, went out to work in their fifties but couldn't earn any money.
His later years were very miserable!
To be honest, Chen Hong was overwhelmed with mixed feelings when he realized this earlier in his life, and she couldn't help but shed tears.
In their past lives, none of the three siblings had a good life. They chose the wrong people and the wrong path. Two of them experienced divorce, and one was destitute!
The father was burdened and couldn't even afford to go to the hospital for medical treatment. He also failed to raise his children well. With no money or resources, he could only struggle at the bottom of society, relying on his own earnings to buy a house and get married.
They don't even dare to date. Young men and women, let alone eat out or stay in hotels, they can't even afford to watch a movie!
Thinking of her past life, Chen Hong felt a lump in her throat, her eyes welled up with tears, and her thoughts churned.
Seeing her son looking at her with concern beside her, Chen Hong smiled again. All those regrets were in the past, and everyone in this life had changed.
Life will get better and better, and there will be more and more hope for the future. This is all thanks to the effects of rebirth and space. Chen Hong is extremely grateful to God.
Chen Hong's mother and sister-in-law both kept quiet, which really proved the saying: the economic base determines the superstructure!
The money in the house was earned by the two men, and they also had a say in the family.
After dinner, Chen Hong didn't let Yu Yang stay overnight. Instead, she drove him back to her home in the city.
It was only nine o'clock when they got home. Yu Yang practiced calligraphy for another half hour before the mother and son washed up and went to bed.
After visiting her parents' home, Chen Hong visited all the necessary relatives and friends, and the mother and daughter resumed their daily lives.
The next day, Chen Hong took Yu Yang to the training center for class and then drove to the shopping center.
Chen Hong has started her daily shopping spree again. Since she doesn't have a computer at home yet, she chose a top-of-the-line brand-name computer and bought it!
With plenty of free time between picking up and dropping off her children, Chen Hong plans to learn how to make some Chinese and Western pastries. She'll buy an egg beater and an oven!
We're missing a vacuum cleaner at home, let's buy one!
I think I need a garment steamer too, I'll buy one!
A desk lamp to protect your eyesight, buy it!
This vase is very unique, I'll buy it!
Oh, and she also has lots of beautiful flowers growing in her online space!
Chen Hong moved to a flower and plant market and bought a hundred exquisite flowerpots of different sizes and styles.
It seems that getting vegetables has become a problem in city life. The vegetables and fruits sold in supermarkets are expensive and not very tasty, so Chen Hong decided to grow her own vegetables instead.
Chen Hong took some time to go to the farmers' market and bought all kinds of fruit and vegetable seeds. She could plant a few in her space every night and then she and her son would have an endless supply of vegetables.
Seeing that there were still old hens and ducks for sale in the market, Chen Hong gritted her teeth and bought one rooster and five hens (six chickens) and one rooster and three hens (four ducks).
Since the poultry couldn't be allowed to roam freely, Chen Hong went to a hardware store and bought two large rolls of wire mesh fencing.
After having the goods delivered to the roadside in the suburbs, Chen Hong sent away the small delivery truck that she had rented from the farmers' market.
After waiting for more than twenty minutes, I finally found a gap in the road where there were few vehicles and put all the things I had piled up into my space.
On her drive home, Chen Hong sighed inwardly. It was only 2007, yet she could still find remote intersections without surveillance cameras.
In another ten years or so, surveillance cameras will be installed everywhere, making it extremely difficult to commit any petty theft in the city.
Therefore, we absolutely cannot give up our rural houses. Living under the surveillance of the city is nothing compared to the freedom and ease of rural life.
After returning home, I put down all the small appliances and paid for the internet connection. Now I'm just waiting for the technicians to come and install the router and optical modem.
Chen Hong tidied up the house and drove to pick up her child.
Yu Yang was very happy today. As soon as he got in the car, he excitedly told his mother about his day's achievements.
"Mom, Teacher Jiao praised me! He said I'm the most diligent student and my handwriting has improved a lot. He told me to keep up the good work!"
Chen Hong drove onto the fast lane and said, "Your teacher Jiao is great, she has a good eye for talent. Our Yu Yang is definitely the smartest and most diligent student."
Since your teacher approves of you, you must study hard and never be arrogant.
Be down-to-earth and don't get arrogant! By the way, how are the other two classmates in your class? Are they easy to get along with?
Yu Yang scratched his head, "We just met, we're not very familiar with each other yet. Mom, they can't understand my Jiaodong dialect."
Chen Hong reminded him: "You can speak Jiaodong dialect when you are at home, but you must speak Mandarin when you go out."
If children can't understand what you're saying, they can't communicate with you.
Regardless of whether your personalities are compatible, the first thing you need to overcome is the language barrier.
Don't ignore people. When interacting with children, you should first show kindness, and your future good friends may very well appear among them.
We should take care of each other in life, help each other in our studies, and ask our teachers and parents for help when we encounter difficulties. Don't be shy.
Teachers and parents exist to help you solve your problems.
