At around twelve o'clock, a car carrying Awang and He Lijuan arrived, followed by Awang and He Lijuan's close relatives and friends.
After being busy for most of the day, around two o'clock, the guests had all left and Xia Ruzheng was sitting there exhausted.
Awang and He Lijuan had some friends to greet, so they said goodbye and left. However, Awang's mother was the last to leave.
"Girl, yes, this banquet was indeed well organized. You put a lot of effort into it."
Following behind Awang's mother is Awang's father. You can tell at a glance that he is Awang's father because they look exactly like each other, except that Awang's father looks a little older.
Xia Ruzheng said: "Thank you for the compliment, Auntie. I'm glad you're satisfied."
After the guests left, the dishes had to be cleared and cleaned. In those days, there were no disposable chopsticks or bowls, so the workload was huge.
After every banquet, Xia Ruzheng would give red envelopes to his employees because the workload on the day of the banquet was so heavy.
The employees were busy here, so Xia Ruzheng took some time to go home and see his child. Dudu was still drinking milk. Although there was milk, Xia Ruzheng wanted to go back and see him to feel at ease.
As I walked into the yard, I heard the baby crying and Grandma Liu's voice.
Xia Ruzheng called out to Grandma Liu at the door, and Grandma Liu came out holding Dudu in her arms: "You just woke up, and you must be a little hungry. You came at the right time. I was going to make some milk."
Xia Ruzheng took Dudu and said, "I'm really sorry to bother you, grandma."
Grandma Liu waved her hand, took the baby beside her and sat her down, saying, "This is the first time I'm taking care of two children by myself, and I'm a little overwhelmed! I don't know how other people take care of so many children at once."
Xia Ruzheng smiled and said, "Rich families hire nannies, and poor families have older children who are sensible and can help take care of their younger siblings."
Grandma Liu thought about it and felt that this was true.
Xia Ruzheng was not used to breastfeeding in front of others, so he apologized to Grandma Liu and went back home to breastfeed. Dudu was really hungry, and as soon as he was in Xia Ruzheng's arms, he struggled to get into the baby's arms and wanted to drink milk.
This time, Dudu ate for half an hour straight before stopping. Xia Ruzheng patted his little bottom, thinking he probably didn't drink much of the milk that Grandma Liu made him that morning.
After putting the child down and kissing the baby, Xia Ruzheng hurriedly rode his bicycle back to the hotel.
After the banquet, Xia Ruzheng took some time to go to Xindian, wondering how the business was going there.
Haichao said it was okay because there was a large flow of people here and there were some factories around, but there were other stores around and Family Mansion was a branch, so it would take some time to highlight its own advantages.
Xia Ruzheng flipped through the account book and looked at the turnover. It was not bad. Of course, the customer flow was not as good as the main store, but it was a new store after all, so it still had great potential for development.
In June, Xia Ruzheng received a letter from Xia Ruqian. As expected, the couple was having a quarrel. Liu Guoqing refused to transfer his household registration no matter what he said. The two quarreled twice. Of course, Liu Guoqing still wanted to coax his wife, but Xia Ruqian insisted on transferring it.
Not long after, Xia Ruqian called and said she and Liu Guoqing had a big fight, the worst they had ever had since they got married. Xia Ruqian even considered divorce, feeling that this man wasn't treating her well enough. Xia Ruzheng advised her that if he wasn't treating her well, he wouldn't have given in to her forever, but she needed to think about it carefully.
"I don't care, sis. I don't want to stay here anymore."
Xia Ruzheng said, "It's not easy for you to go home. Why don't you come to my place? You haven't been here yet!"
Xia Ruqian's eyes lit up and she agreed without hesitation.
Not long after I hung up the phone, I received another call from Liu Guoqing, saying that Xia Ruqian was packing up and was about to run away from home.
Xia Ruzheng found it funny that Xia Ruqian was really bold to say that.
"It's okay. I asked her to come over to my place and play. I'm very busy and have two children. I wanted her to come over and relax. I'll help you persuade her."
Liu Guoqing finally felt relieved. He knew his wife's sister was quite understanding. Wen Zhichao had also told him that although Xia Ruzheng's idea had been to move the household registration, she hadn't pushed him and had considered it carefully. There were some things a man might be embarrassed to tell his wife, but it was okay to talk to his brother-in-law.
Xia Ruqian came to her sister's place with her bag on her back. Everything was new to her. She was even more delighted to see the pretty baby with a serious face learning to dance. "If Binbin is this well-behaved, I'll be relieved."
Xia Ruzheng said, "You think too much, and you think about your children every day. I'm afraid you'll be hiding under the covers crying at night on National Day, saying that your wife only wants their son and not him!"
Xia Ruqian said, "Humph! He just wishes I would just leave him alone!"
