When Xia Ruqian said this, Xia Ruzheng kept looking at her.
Xia Ruqian paused for a long moment, unable to bear her sister's gaze any longer, and couldn't help but ask, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Xia Ruzheng said cheerfully, "I just think some people are not sincere in what they say. They are even worse than when they were little girls."
Xia Ruqian's face flushed red, and she started to stutter, like a thief who had been caught. "I...why am I saying something that doesn't mean what I mean?"
Xia Ruzheng stood up and said, "I didn't say it was you. Why are you so eager to admit it? I'm going to go collect my clothes."
After saying that, Xia Ruzheng walked out with a smile on his face, leaving Xia Ruqian standing there feeling very upset.
The baby still has some impression of this aunt whom he has only met twice. After sleeping with her for two nights, he is no longer unfamiliar with her. He calls her aunt softly and tenderly, asks her to braid his hair, asks her to squeeze toothpaste for him and brush his teeth together, and even performs the new dance he has learned for his aunt. He is a little excited.
"We rarely have visitors, so the baby is very excited."
Xia Ruqian only had one son, who had never been bothered by such a beautiful and sensible girl. She immediately felt so soft-hearted that she even spoke with a cute tone.
The baby went to learn dancing across the street. Xia Ruqian was still a little disappointed: "Why don't you let her spend more time with me, your aunt?"
Xia Ruzheng said, "You are her aunt, and there will be plenty of opportunities to see her in the future. However, the child's dance training is limited to this period. Unless there are very special circumstances, we cannot let her stop. This is not only because of the dance training, but also to cultivate her perseverance. Let her know that even if there is an aunt at home that she likes very much, she cannot delay her dance training. Otherwise, she will learn to find excuses to stop going in the future."
Xia Ruqian was really enlightened after hearing this. She used to think that her sister doted on her daughter very much, but now it seems that she dotes on her daughter when it should be done, and is strict with her when it is time to study.
"Sister, I still need to learn this from you."
Binbin is now about the same age as the baby, so it will definitely be useful for him to learn from his sister.
Xia Ruzheng smiled and said, "Baby is a girl and Binbin is a boy, so it won't be very useful for you to learn it. You see, Bao Bao is five years old now, and we still hold her. But when my son Dudu is that old, we won't carry him around everywhere. At most, we'll hug him, and try to let him go wherever he wants to go by himself."
Xia Ruqian asked curiously, "Sister, where do you get so many ideas?"
Xia Ruzheng said, "There's no such thing as a method. It's just that different methods work for different children. Raising a child is like planting flowers. Some flowers only need sunlight and rain to bloom, while others don't. If you give them too much, they'll get sick. So raising a child means observing your child and seeing what development model suits them. When my baby was learning dance, Grandma Liu taught her for a few days before asking her if she wanted to continue. If she did, she had to stick with it for at least a year. If she said she didn't want to learn anymore, I would spank her. Although she was a little scared, she still insisted on learning. So far, she hasn't said she doesn't want to learn anymore."
Xia Ruqian remembered that when the baby arrived, she couldn't wait to go to Grandma Liu's house across the street. She was shocked and couldn't help asking, "If the baby really said she didn't want to go, would you really beat her?"
Xia Ruqian said, "Of course, I can't go back on my word. Of course I have to beat him behind closed doors, without letting anyone know. Children have self-respect too."
Xia Ruqian suddenly felt that her sister was much... different than she had imagined.
Bao Bao went to Grandma Liu to learn dance, and Xia Ruqian followed Xia Ruzheng to the restaurant.
Xia Ruqian was carrying a bag filled with baby clothes, diapers, napkins and other items, and she was holding the baby in her arms.
When we arrived at the restaurant, it was still morning and everyone was busy cleaning, washing, cutting, and picking vegetables.
Xia Ruzheng introduced Xia Ruqian to everyone. After greeting everyone, Xia Ruqian looked around the upstairs and downstairs and said, "Sister, is this house really yours?"
Xia Ruzheng shook his hair: "Of course!"
Xia Ruqian's eyes lit up: "Sister! You are so amazing!"
Xia Ruzheng smiled and said, "It's okay. It's mainly because your brother-in-law took the initiative to finance it. Although I manage the finances, I don't have that much courage."
Xia Ruqian's tone was much lower. She sat down at the counter and said, "Brother-in-law is so good to you!"
Xia Ruzheng couldn't help laughing and said, "Isn't the National Day good to you? If you want to do business, you can find a storefront and go to Guangzhou to buy goods. If your business is bad, who is standing at the door and shouting? And who helps you quarrel with others? Qianqian, the kindness of different men is different. Tian Ni'er, I told you about the bun stall this morning, remember? Her husband is a dull person, but she lives a happy life, because she knows that her man treats her well with his deeds, not with his words."
Xia Ruqian pouted and said, "I can't argue with you."
Xia Ruzheng smiled but did not answer. She knew that her sister must have heard it. The love between husband and wife for so many years could not be wiped out just like that.
When the restaurant started to open, Xia Ruqian kept staring at everything in the restaurant, feeling that it was very fresh. Xia Ruzheng was asked many questions by her. Of course, Xia Ruzheng would answer every question of his sister.
It was past two o'clock and there were no customers. Xia Ruzheng was doing a simple accounting. Xia Ruqian said, "Others say I'm good at business, but I think you're much better than me, sister."
