Chapter 234 (First Update) She came to fulfill the children's wishes...
This time, Fu Ci only stayed for one day before returning to Shenzhen.
Mrs. Fu and her mother felt heartbroken seeing their grandson return to work in Shenzhen after only one night's rest, and they became even more convinced that moving to Shenzhen was the right decision.
They've been living apart for quite a while now.
Because she would be staying in Shenzhen for about ten days, Tang Mingli wasn't in a hurry to pack her things.
Besides, the more urgently needed items were already shipped over last time.
With nothing to worry about, Tang Mingli felt a sense of leisure, as if she had gotten a free vacation.
I haven't felt this way in a long time.
So much has happened in my family these past few months.
First it was my grandfather, then the move; I was on edge the whole time.
Today, sitting on the sofa in the living room, basking in the morning sunlight, and drinking the hot tea brewed by my aunt, I felt completely relaxed.
Fu Yu was finally able to truly enjoy her summer vacation, her last summer vacation before starting elementary school.
She'll be a primary school student starting next semester.
Tang Mingli looked at her daughter, who was engrossed in reading the comic book, and her gaze softened.
I wonder what Xiaoyu will be like after she starts elementary school, and whether she will be a top student like her father.
I've heard plenty of jokes in my past life that a child's cuteness only lasts until the first grade of elementary school.
Tang Mingli thought that her Xiaoyu wouldn't.
Her Xiaoyu will be adorable forever.
Because her expectations for her children have never been about their academic performance.
Whether her grades are good or bad, she can accept it.
Regardless of their grades, a child's life will not be bad.
However, she also has basic requirements. No matter how slow one is, one must be able to recognize common characters and understand basic arithmetic.
If you can't even learn these things, aren't you a little fool?
However, she found it difficult to associate the word "idiot" with her daughter.
How could a child who can tell a complete story just by looking at a picture at such a young age not be a smart baby?
As if by telepathy, Fu Yu, who had been engrossed in reading the comic book, looked up at her mother.
The mother and daughter met eyes and both smiled sweetly.
Fu Yu put down her book, went to her mother's side, and snuggled up to her affectionately.
"Mother."
"Um."
Tang Mingli looked down at the child.
"Mom, I think I might be the child who loves mom the most in the world."
The unexpected and heartfelt confession made Tang Mingli's heart tremble.
She gently touched the child's face and smiled, "Why do you say that?"
"Because I feel so much pain here if I can't see my mother for even a day."
A tiny hand points to its tiny chest.
Tang Mingli's eyes welled up with tears.
She picked up her child and solemnly told her, "Baby, no matter if you are the child who loves Mommy the most in the world, you must remember that Mommy is definitely the mother who loves her child the most in the world."
"Okay, I've got it."
At her age, Fu Yu didn't know what being moved meant; she only knew that she really wanted to hug her mother tightly at that moment.
This scene was so heartwarming and touching.
It wasn't until several loud knocks on the door that Fu Yu remembered something, cried out, and broke free from her mother's embrace.
"I made a promise with some kids in the yard to play 'Red Light, Green Light' together this morning. Mom, I'm going to play now."
After saying that, he ran towards the door.
Tang Mingli let her play in the yard as she pleased.
Fu Yu was obedient and would never leave the hospital without an adult accompanying her.
Not long after, Madam Fu and her mother, who had gone out for a walk, returned. As soon as they entered, they told Tang Mingli that Fu Yu was having a great time playing games in the yard.
Because of the premise of parting, it's easy to associate what you say with the fact that you're about to leave.
After excitedly recounting the children's games, Mrs. Fu sighed, "I won't be able to play with these kids anymore when I go to Shenzhen."
Mrs. Fu was quite open-minded, and said with a smile, "It's nothing, children make friends easily. They'll make new friends and play together over there."
That's true.
Tang Mingli nodded.
Children make friends easily; they might become friends after playing on the slide together in the park and enjoying each other's company.
Children's understanding of friendship is much simpler, purer, and more carefree than adults'.
So it's better to move sooner, so the child can adapt more quickly.
-
In the blink of an eye, it was mid-August, and the Fu family was finally about to leave the home they had lived in for decades.
When that day actually came, people were actually calmer.
It's like something that's been hanging in your heart for a long time has finally happened, and you're no longer anxious.
Fu Ci and Tang Mingli each drove a car, taking their whole family to Shenzhen, the place where they could start anew.
The aunt from Guangcheng didn't want to be too far from home, so she didn't come to Shenzhen with them. Finding a new nanny isn't easy, so she's had to do everything herself during this time.
Tang Mingli's cooking skills are average, so Fu Mu usually takes care of all the cooking.
However, she also became much more diligent, cleaning both inside and outside the house.
With this division of labor, it didn't feel tiring at all.
The main thing is that I don't feel mentally tired.
After a few days of adjustment, the most important thing this month came up – enrolling the child in school.
Of course, it's just a matter of registering at the school. Fu Ci has basically taken care of the enrollment, so there's no chance of any unexpected problems.
However, the elders of the Fu family were still nervous. The night before, they told Tang Mingli to go early the next day, fearing that if she went late, she would miss the registration time and her child would not be able to go to school.
Tang Mingli understood their concerns and didn't find them annoying. Instead, she obediently followed their instructions and went out early the next morning.
In fact, she herself also wanted to get this matter settled as soon as possible.
Fortunately, everything went smoothly, and I registered in less than half an hour. Now I just have to wait for school to start.
Back home, the three elders, upon learning that everything had gone smoothly, treated it as if it were the best news imaginable. Even the usually most composed Fu Cheng'an insisted on going out for dinner to celebrate.
"Celebrating that our Xiaoyu is about to become a primary school student."
Madam Fu also chimed in, saying, "Our Xiaoyu is about to become a primary school student! That's wonderful!"
Not to be outdone, or rather, she felt the same way, and praised her granddaughter enthusiastically.
Tang Mingli watched the three elders praising the child and couldn't stop laughing.
With such enthusiastic praise, one might mistake her for someone who painstakingly studied to get into a prestigious university, rather than attending primary school.
However, her father-in-law suggested going out for a celebratory meal, which she thought was a good idea.
Moreover, we've been here for several days and haven't had a chance to meet up with my uncle's family yet, so this meal is a good opportunity for everyone to get to know each other.
The elders in the Fu family thought the suggestion was excellent, and Fu Yu was overjoyed, as she would be able to see her favorite cousin again.
Tang Mingli couldn't spoil her daughter's excitement, so she immediately picked up the phone and called her aunt.
The call was answered by her aunt, who invited the whole family to dinner. Li Hong's instinctive reaction was to refuse.
"No need, eating out is too much of a waste of money. I'll cook a meal at home, you guys come and eat. You also think my cooking is pretty good, right? Come on over."
Tang Mingli smiled and said, "Of course your cooking is delicious, just as good as any professional chef's, but eating out has its own atmosphere. And..."
To make her argument more convincing, she even brought up her daughter.
"Xiaoyu was very happy and excited when she heard that we were going out to eat together to celebrate her upcoming primary school enrollment. Let's not let her down, okay?"
Li Hong really couldn't bear to take out Fu Yu.
Tang Jianguo, who was standing next to her, laughed and said, "Go ahead, are you worried that your nephew-in-law can't afford this meal? Be careful that Fu Ci doesn't know you doubt his ability and get upset."
Li Hong laughed and scolded, "Is that what I meant? Don't talk nonsense."
Then he said into the microphone, "Okay, let's go out for dinner together tonight and celebrate Xiaoyu starting elementary school soon."
Tang Mingli immediately said, "Okay, then we'll wait at the main gate at 6:30."
Even if I haven't gone home by the time I leave at six o'clock, I'm on my way home.
He's not busy during this period and can leave work on time.
After living there for a while, she also discovered that, in fact, as long as there was no business trip, there was very little need to work overtime. It was just that before, when they weren't here, he would come home alone after work and often stay at the factory to work overtime, and he would also stay at the factory.
Perhaps this is the meaning of home to a person.
Because of home, life is full of warmth.
However, just in case, after hanging up with her aunt, Tang Mingli still called Fu Ci's office.
Upon learning of the dinner party that evening, Fu Ci said he would return early.
"Perfect timing, there's nothing much going on at the factory today."
"Okay, then we'll wait for you at home."
After hanging up the phone, Tang Mingli sighed with satisfaction.
After registering my child, I felt like my life had completely returned to normal.
-
At 6 p.m., the Fu and Tang families met at the entrance of the residential compound.
Two cousins who hadn't seen each other for a long time clung to each other as soon as they saw one.
Seeing how close her daughter and niece were, Tang Mingmei was actually reminded of her past with Tang Mingli.
When they were little, they actually had a good relationship. On New Year's Eve, they would spend the New Year at their grandfather's house and sleep in the same bed together.
When did the relationship deteriorate?
She thought back carefully and realized that it must have been after her uncle and aunt passed away that her mother kept nagging her that her grandparents were unfair and that all the family property should be left to her, her cousin.
She was naive back then. What kind of inheritance could her grandparents possibly have? But because of this, she felt resentful and gradually began to dislike her cousin.
Later, her grandparents passed away, and her cousin moved into her house.
Spending every day and night with her, all the praise fell on her cousin, which made her mentality even more distorted.
Looking back on those years, Tang Mingmei hoped that she had been possessed and lost her mind, which was why she did so many outrageous things.
The group prepared to leave, but Tang Mingmei, lost in thought, did not move.
Tang Mingli stepped forward and nudged her, reminding her, "Sister, let's go."
For a moment, Tang Mingmei was somewhat dazed.
The face in front of her overlapped with the face of her cousin from more than ten years ago. She seemed to hear a voice coming from a very far place, saying to her, "Sister, let's go."
But soon, the swaying shadows disappeared, and the smile in front of me gradually became clear.
Coming to her senses, Tang Mingmei took Tang Mingli's arm and said with a smile, "Let's go."
The group set off in a large procession to the restaurant chosen by Tang Mingli.
The restaurant is located near the residential area, less than a ten-minute walk away.
Not wanting to be disturbed, Tang Mingli booked a large private room.
The large table can seat twenty people, and the two families didn't feel crowded at all.
Ordering food took a bit of effort, not because we were picky, but because the two kids were so excited. They wanted this and that as soon as they saw the pictures on the menu.
But there are only ten of them in total, so they can only eat about ten dishes at most.
The two children were torn about which to give up.
At this moment, Tang Mingli stepped forward.
"We should have both. Today's meal is to celebrate Xiaoyu becoming a primary school student and Tang Xin becoming a third-grade student. We should satisfy them."
After saying this, Tang Mingli felt as if she had fulfilled a childhood dream.
When she was little, she especially hoped that there really were gods in the world who could grant people's wishes, and that they could fulfill her few, humble, and small wishes.
Today, let her be the goddess of children's wishes.

Author's Note: [Crying] Seeing the current ending point, I know how many darlings are waiting for it to grow. I regret my past actions; who told me to be such a bad girl before, only updating 3,000 words a day? I could have been a strong woman.
