"Big sister, do you know where there are houses for sale?"

Ji Xiaoxiao asked a passerby for directions. The passerby saw that Ji Xiaoxiao was with a boy and a two-year-old child, and assumed that she was a parent accompanying her child to school. The passerby kindly gave her some advice.

Upon arriving at their destination, Ji Xiaoxiao negotiated a price with the landlord and bought a three-bedroom, two-living-room apartment for over two million yuan. The living room was particularly large, enough for Xiaobao and Xia Xiu to play in.

"Sister, this place is so nice!"

Xia Xiu isn't very bright, but he loves lively places. They used to live in a villa area with beautiful scenery and excellent living conditions, but it was quiet and deserted. Xia Xiu didn't like going out and spent his days at home playing and laughing with Xiao Bao.

Do you like it?

"I like it." Xia Xiu flashed a bright white smile.

On the other hand, Xiao Bao, being new to this unfamiliar place, seemed a little uncomfortable, trembling and clinging tightly to Ji Xiao Xiao. Ji Xiao Xiao noticed Xiao Bao's restraint and fear, gently patted his head, and whispered, "There are delicious candied hawthorns for sale downstairs, I wonder who wants some?"

Candied hawthorn berries? Sweet and sour?

"Me, me, me!" Xiao Bao cheered excitedly. "I, me, Xiao Bao loves candied hawthorn the most! Xiao Bao wants to eat candied hawthorn!"

Kids like sweet and sour things.

"Sister, I want one too."

Xia Xiu smacked his lips, as if he had already tasted the delicious food.

Taking care of two children is tiring, but it's definitely not hard. She has money and ability, so she doesn't have to worry about not being able to support the two kids.

The new house was unfurnished; she even had to choose the bed frame herself. Ji Xiaoxiao put down her large bag, took out a few pieces of clothing for them and stuffed them into her small bag, then led the two children downstairs.

The school district in City X is located on the outskirts of the city, which should be sparsely populated. However, because it is home to preschools, elementary schools, middle schools, and high schools of all sizes, its prosperity rivals that of the bustling city center.

Ji Xiaoxiao chose to settle here for two reasons. First, the school district has a high population density and a high safety index, so Lin Mu wouldn't dare to act recklessly here. Second, Xiao Bao and Xia Xiu will need to go to school sooner or later, and being close to the school gives them an advantage!

"Mom, I want to eat this."

"Sister, I want to eat this."

The school district has the most students, and considering that students are only interested in studying, merchants are not allowed to open entertainment shops here. Instead, there are mostly various small food stalls and bookstores.

Ji Xiaoxiao and her two children went downstairs for a stroll, but were immediately drawn in by the enticing aromas. After they had eaten their fill and their hands were full, Ji Xiaoxiao confidently led the two children to a hotel near the school district. The house they had bought still needed renovations and was not yet habitable.

The renovation was quite troublesome; after all that paint fumes had dissipated, two months had passed in the blink of an eye.

Ji Xiaoxiao and her two friends moved into the new house, while Xia Xiu and Xiao Bao went off on their adventure hand in hand. Ji Xiaoxiao was busy putting away their clothes, leaving Xia Xiu and the others to shout and scream as they went.

After moving into their new home, Ji Xiaoxiao cooked a big meal herself. Xia Xiu and Xiao Bao ate to their hearts' content, their bellies round and full.

It's 9 PM, time for the child to go to sleep.

Xia Xiu, wearing bear pajamas, looked at Ji Xiaoxiao shyly.

"Xiao Xiu, what's wrong?" Ji Xiaoxiao asked.

"Sister, I...I want to sleep with Xiaobao."

"Afraid to sleep alone?" Ji Xiaoxiao laughed. "Sister knows."

Ji Xiaoxiao took Xia Xiu's hand and led him into Xiao Bao's room. Xiao Bao's room was the largest, containing two beds, one large and one small.

"The small bed is for Xiao Bao, and the big bed is for Xiao Xiu."

Xia Xiu's eyes lit up, and he shot out like an arrow, leaping up and jumping onto the bed.

"Uncle, you're here. Xiaobao was almost asleep waiting for you."

Xiao Bao rubbed his eyes and saw Xia Xiu jumping around and having a great time, so he simply started to imitate him.

The two children, one small and one large, were jumping and bouncing on the bed, making a constant clattering noise. Ji Xiaoxiao pinched her brow; they were really quite noisy.

After coaxing the two to sleep, Ji Xiaoxiao gently closed the bedroom door. Sitting alone on the soft sofa in the living room, Ji Xiaoxiao picked up a notebook and began to scribble.

A month ago, Lin Mu suspended the two cards in Ji Xiaoxiao's hand. If she hadn't prepared in advance and taken out a large portion of cash early on, the three of them would be starving by now.

"This is a school district; we can't let random shops set up here."

A shady, disorganized shop might have a bad reputation, but it's a quick way to make money. Ji Xiaoxiao twirled her pen, pondering how to make money.

"Students are restricted by teachers and parents from doing this and that, but they can't be stopped from talking. But there are already enough snack shops here. If I open another one, how will I survive?"
