Chapter 199 How she raised her daughter to be a teacher...
In her past life, Tang Mingli had seen many couples online who had very good relationships but eventually parted ways because of disagreements about their children's education.
A relationship is broken, but the process of breaking it is so agonizing.
Perhaps the reason she never won the lottery in her past life was because she used up all her luck in this life when she met Fu Ci.
Thinking about it this way, I have no regrets at all.
Given time, Fu Ci will definitely be able to earn her many five-million-dollar sums.
A bright future is the key to true happiness in life.
Fu Ci had no idea that his words would cause such a stir in his wife's mind, but he was pleasantly surprised by her unusual enthusiasm that evening.
Could it be that he did something good during the day to earn this reward? Or is it because he's leaving tomorrow?
Fu Ci couldn't think of it, nor did he want to be distracted by thinking about it.
At this moment, all he wanted to do was try his best to please his wife.
That night, the couple experienced immense joy.
But after the pleasure subsided, Tang Mingli touched her waist, which felt almost like it no longer belonged to her, and worried about how she would get out of bed the next day.
People who are going to drive for a long time tomorrow, why don't they know how to be moderate?
Before going to bed, she angrily punched her husband in the chest.
What if I can't come to see you tomorrow?
Tomorrow, Fu Ci will wake up at his usual time, as usual.
His wife, who was sitting next to him, was sleeping soundly.
Because the blanket was covering her a little too high, her face was flushed and she looked incredibly cute.
Fu Ci pulled the blanket down to reveal his wife's entire face, then stared at her sleeping face for a long time before reluctantly getting up.
The four elderly people downstairs had already gotten up and were sitting at the dining table eating breakfast.
When Fu's mother saw her son come downstairs, she laughed and said, "You're just like your father, waking up on time, even more accurate than an alarm clock."
When Fu Fuquan said that his wife was a compliment, he said with some pride, "That's what you call self-discipline."
Fu's mother laughed and scolded, "You take every little thing you say as a compliment, you don't act like a soldier at all."
"At home, I am a son, a husband, a father, and a grandfather. I put aside my military identity for the time being."
Unable to argue with him, Fu's mother asked her son again, "There's porridge, would you like some?"
Fu Ci thought about how he had to drive today and was afraid that drinking porridge would make him need to go to the toilet too often, so he shook his head and said, "No, I'll just have steamed buns."
Fu's mother didn't force him, but just told her son to sit down and eat while it was hot.
Fu Ci sat down as instructed, listened to the elders chatting about everyday things, and ate two meat buns with great appetite. He then subconsciously glanced at the time.
Mr. Fu noticed this and asked, "What time are we leaving?"
"Noon, I guess."
Work officially starts tomorrow. If it weren't for the safety concerns about driving at night, he could have set off at night instead.
When the time was set, Mr. Fu simply nodded and didn't say anything more.
The others also finished their bowls of porridge one after another.
Madam Fu rubbed her slightly full stomach and asked her daughter-in-law, "The sun is shining brightly today, would you like to go for a walk?"
Fu's mother thought the suggestion was good: "Perfect timing, I'll go out and look for inspiration."
Seeing this, Mr. Fu offered to stay with them.
Grandpa Fu also felt that he should go out and find someone to play chess with. He hadn't played chess for many days and his skills had become rusty.
Everyone went about their business as usual, without lingering around Fu Ci because he was leaving at noon.
Strangely enough, ever since Tang Mingli learned to drive, the Fu family has become less reluctant to let Fu Ci return to Shenzhen.
Even though they rarely go to Shenzhen, having a car and someone who can drive makes them feel that Shenzhen is not a distance away, and that going there is just a matter of stepping on the gas.
So when Fu Ci was going to Shenzhen, or Fu Ci was staying in Shenzhen, they suddenly lost the sense of distance they had before, and naturally there was no reluctance or longing.

Around 10 a.m., Tang Mingli and her daughter, as if by unspoken agreement, woke up at roughly the same time.
Actually, Fu Yu woke up first. As soon as she opened her eyes, she ran to her parents' room to find them.
Tang Mingli opened her eyes only after hearing her daughter's call.
Although I was tired last night, I slept soundly and woke up feeling refreshed.
Seeing her adorable daughter who had just woken up, Tang Mingli's heart melted. She held the child in her arms, displaying a tender mother-daughter bond, before helping the child change clothes, tie her hair, and then they went to the bathroom together to wash up.
By the time we got down to the first floor, it was already 10:30.
Fu Yu saw her father sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper, and ran over to him excitedly.
"Dad, what news are you watching?"
Fu Ci picked up his daughter and sat her on his lap, then read the news from the newspaper to her.
Although Fu Yu couldn't understand it, it didn't stop her from listening with great interest.
Tang Mingli watched Fu Cizi's loving moment with a smile and asked, "Where did Mom and Dad go?"
"I went out for a walk after breakfast."
Tang Mingli responded with an "oh".
Hearing the word "breakfast" made her stomach rumble, a timely reminder that it was time to eat. She immediately turned and went into the kitchen to get food for herself and her daughter.
Fu Ci watched as his wife brought out the pot of porridge, ready to cook it, and quickly reminded her, "Lunch is coming soon, don't eat so much."
"But I'm so hungry right now," Tang Mingli said pitifully.
Speaking of food, Fu Yu patted her stomach and said, "Xiao Yu is hungry too."
Fu Ci smiled helplessly, completely unable to do anything about these two women.
That's it. The so-called three meals a day are just to fill our stomachs.
Eating when you're hungry is the most appropriate time.
In just a few seconds, Fu Ci convinced himself and overturned his so-called rules.
-
A week after Fu Ci returned to Shenzhen, Fu Yu also started school.
The Spring Festival is over, and life goes back to normal.
Once things settle down, time flies by.
It feels like school just started yesterday, and now it's already halfway through the semester.
Why did Tang Mingli notice that it was already halfway through the semester? It was thanks to a call from the teacher reminding parents to attend the mid-term parent-teacher meeting.
Tang Mingli was quite excited about her child's first parent-teacher conference.
However, when she heard the teacher say that she hoped she could speak as a parent of an outstanding student, her excitement turned sour.
I got even more excited.
"An outstanding student's parent? Did I hear that right?"
Her daughter is only in the "Star Class" of kindergarten, and she's already an outstanding student? Did she get that honor just because she can eat and sleep so well?
Regardless of the reason, he was an outstanding student in the teacher's eyes.
The teacher on the other end of the phone laughed and said, "Yes, Fu Yu's mother, Fu Yu is doing very well at school."
Tang Mingli was so excited that her hand holding the microphone trembled. She couldn't help but ask, "Could you tell me how well Xiaoyu is doing at school?"
"There are many..."
The teacher started talking and then launched into a long speech.
In summary, she has a generous and easygoing personality and never cries over trivial matters. She's clever and quick-witted, picking up games very quickly. She's full of curiosity about the world and frequently asks questions in class. She's also very poised and confident in social situations. Most importantly, unlike other children, she never causes the teacher any trouble with eating or sleeping.
As she listened to her teacher's praise, Tang Mingli's smile grew wider and wider.
Especially at the end, I couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Sure enough, being able to eat and sleep well still accounts for the majority of the problem.
But the next second, the teacher said, "So we really hope that Fu Yu's mother can talk to everyone about how she raised such an outstanding child as Fu Yu."
The teacher's tone was earnest, and Tang Mingli found it really hard to refuse. In the end, she could only bite the bullet and agree.
After hanging up the phone, she kept thinking about how she had raised her daughter to be the kind of person the teacher praised.
There was no particular effort put into it, nor was there any special discipline.
She wouldn't dare say that they were the most indulgent among all the children in her class, but if there were a ranking of irresponsible parents, she felt she should be in the top ten.
So, is it most likely due to genes that my daughter looks like the child the teacher praised?
But you can't say that when you're on stage; you have to come up with something even if you're just making things up.
This really worried Tang Mingli to death.
Fortunately, the parent-teacher meeting is next Monday, so she still has time to think about it.
But time is running out; next Monday is only a few days away.
Tang Mingli glanced at the time; there were still more than two hours until her child got out of school, enough time for her to go to Xinhua Bookstore.
So he immediately grabbed his car keys and went out.
She thought she could find some parenting books in the bookstore, and then summarize and categorize the big ideas in the books to make her own point.
Having made up my mind, I went straight to the maternal and infant care section of Xinhua Bookstore and carefully selected five books related to parenting.
I glanced at the time again; now is the perfect time to pick them up from kindergarten.
When picking up her child, the teacher brought up the topic of speaking at the parent-teacher meeting again. Tang Mingli pretended to be calm and said that she would definitely prepare well.
I have to prepare properly; I've already bought five books.
When she got home, Tang Mingli, unusually, didn't sit down and have a proper chat with her daughter or ask her what interesting things happened at kindergarten that day. Instead, she handed the child over to her mother-in-law and the nanny.
"Mom, I have a few books I need to read urgently these next few days, so I'm sorry to trouble you to let me read them."
Madam Fu quickly replied, "Don't be so polite, don't talk about taking responsibility."
Then, looking at the bag in her hand, I was somewhat surprised that she had bought so many books.
And with this positive attitude, what is the daughter-in-law trying to do? Take a certification exam?
Before she could ask any questions, Tang Mingli grabbed the newly bought books and ran upstairs to the second floor.
As soon as she entered the study, Tang Mingli took out a book and began to read it carefully. She also took out a new notebook to take notes.
It's no exaggeration to say that the last time I studied this hard was when I was in my senior year of high school in my past life.
However, after reading a third of it, Tang Mingli's brows furrowed again.
The parenting advice in this book seems a bit impractical, and if you try to apply the content to your children's lives, it could be misleading.
No, next one.
One book after another, before dinner, Tang Mingli flipped through all five books she had bought and found that they all had one problem: they were too theoretical.
Because of this, she didn't write many notes.
The situation is not good.
Just as she was feeling distressed, the nanny came upstairs to call her for dinner.
Tang Mingli simply closed the book, temporarily putting aside those troubling matters.
Of all things, eating is the most important; a full stomach might sharpen your mind.
At the dinner table, Fu's mother finally had a chance to ask her daughter-in-law what books she had bought.
Tang Mingli didn't hide anything and said truthfully, "They're all related to parenting."
Upon hearing that it was related to parenting, both Mrs. Fu and Mr. Fu couldn't help but put down their chopsticks and pay attention.
In particular, Old Madam Fu asked anxiously, "Has our Xiaoyu been naughty lately, forcing you to study?"
Hearing her own name called and being told she was being naughty, Fu Yu was so anxious that she forgot to eat and tried to defend herself.
"Xiaoyu is being very good."
