Of course, Wen Zhichao had to write home to inform his grandparents of Dudu's birth, so that they wouldn't be unaware of his newborn grandson. He even took a camera to take pictures of his newborn son, developed the photos, and mailed them back to his parents.
The two old people in the Wen family are still a little angry, because they always feel that their son has moved his household registration and will not come once a year, just like he is not their son. Now that their son has a grandson, he is not as close to them as the grandson who is by their side.
Xia Chunfu didn't think much of it; he was simply delighted. His eldest daughter now had a son and a daughter, a complete family. I heard she'd be good at opening a restaurant or something, so long as she was doing well. It was just that his second daughter's life was a bit fraught. His grandson was in school, and his grades weren't great. It wasn't a big deal, but Xia Chunfu knew the teachers at the nearby elementary school weren't very responsible, and the ones who were were disliked by the students. Many people thought that studying was just for fun, since they'd be farming when they grew up anyway. There was only one elementary school nearby.
Xia Ruqian had been out there for over a year and had gained a lot of experience. On the street where her shop was located, there were several families with children. Those children were beautiful, neatly dressed, carrying backpacks to school every day, and on weekends, they would go to places like the Children's Palace to learn piano and other things. Seeing each of them as little prodigies and talented girls, Xia Ruqian felt a headache when she thought of her own little devil running wild in the mountains and fields. The parents said their children planned to attend a certain junior high school, then strive to get into one of the four prestigious universities, and then get into university. Finally, they would be assigned a job, and that would complete their lives. Xia Ruqian thought that was a good thing. Eating government-funded food was better than farming at home, and better than running a business on her own.
Xia Ruqian wanted her son to study hard, but his grandparents were only concerned with providing for their children, not about education. Xia Ruqian thought it would be best for her son to live with her so she could encourage him to study. However, the elders in the family felt that moving his household registration meant leaving the family. Liu Guoqing disagreed, saying that starting a business was different from moving his household registration. No matter how far he moved, he was still part of the family.
Xia Ruqian was happy for her sister when she knew that she had given birth to a son. She told her sister not to forget her daughter now that she had a son. As her age was approaching, she must choose a good school and educate her well.
Xia Ruzheng, thinking Xia Ruqian had gone a little crazy, wrote back, saying, "The baby is taking dance lessons now, and has been for a few months now. School will not start until next year, so I'm not worried." He also added, "The baby can count, recite poems, and write simple characters, so I'm not worried. Of course, these are all taught regularly, and I don't force the baby to learn. But the baby is learning quite quickly." Xia Ruzheng also advised his sister not to rush, to take her time, and not to exacerbate the family conflict. After all, the child is smart, and as long as she focuses on her studies, she won't fall behind.
Of course, the baby's matter stimulated Xia Ruqian. Look, this is the child in the city. Her son is really going to be ruined.
Xia Ruzheng really wanted to call Xia Ruqian and have a good talk, but Xia Ruqian didn't have a phone installed yet.
Xia Ruzheng also knew that Xia Ruqian was very competitive, but it was not advisable to educate children to be competitive.
Of course, Xia Ruzheng also felt that at this time, the education level in the countryside was much worse than that in the city.
If Xia Ruqian wants to transfer her household registration, she must first obtain Liu Guoqing's support, but this is very difficult.
Dudu’s full moon celebration was held in a restaurant. All the family friends were invited to have a meal. Grandma Liu gave Dudu a silver bracelet. She also gave one to the baby, but Xia Ruzheng has put it away now.
Many people were envious and jealous. Look at this fat and strong child, he is really very energetic! However, Dudu did not respond to everyone's teasing. Even when he woke up, he did not react much.
Xia Ruzheng once suspected that there was something wrong with the child, but after the doctor examined him, he said that there was absolutely no problem with Dudu, whether it was hardware or software, and he was very healthy, even better than the average child.
"Is this the personality of our son?" Xia Ruzheng asked Wen Zhichao curiously.
Wen Zhichao said, "Maybe. Who can say what this child's temperament is like? It doesn't matter. He will be fine when he grows up."
Xia Ruzheng was not worried about his son's temperament, but was worried about his health. If there was any problem, it would be better to discover it as soon as possible.
After observing for a while, he found that there was indeed nothing wrong. Although the baby didn't like to move, his eyes were clear and flexible, his limbs were very strong, and his crying was loud. Xia Ruzheng gradually felt relieved.
Now that they have two children, the baby sometimes stays with Grandma Liu, so Xia Ruzheng only has to take care of one child, which is a bit easier. At this time, he is really grateful to Grandma Liu for helping him teach the baby.
After the confinement period, Xia Ruzheng started to work on the renovation of the restaurant. She took out the banquet standards and charges she had designed and discussed it with several chefs. The chefs felt that it was indeed possible to do it. Although it was a bit tiring, it would make money!
After setting the menu, drinks and other standards, FamilyFamily advertised the banquet.
Zhang Aiguo suggested hiring more people. Last time, there was a shortage of manpower, but fortunately everyone managed it.
Xia Ruzheng thought so too, and since she planned to open a branch, she of course needed to train more staff.
More and more people are coming to Guangzhou to work, almost like a trend. Many come from places like Guangxi, Sichuan, Hunan, and Jiangxi. With the increasing influx of migrant workers, business is booming, and private enterprises and factories, like garment and shoe factories, are proliferating, attracting migrant workers. Wen Zhichao's factory is still expanding, now employing over 200 people. Many shopping malls come to Wen Zhichao to pick up their goods, so his annual shipments now reach tens of thousands of pieces, making him a representative example of private enterprise.
