On the table was a large black bag. Song Jia unzipped it, revealing a large 100-yuan note inside.
Jiang Ning was surprised; there was money in all of this!
Judging by its size, it must be at least over 100,000.
In other words, Song Jia not only brought her two children with her, but also all the wealth she had accumulated over the years.
“I sold the restaurant; it was worth about 150,000 yuan. I’m going to open a big restaurant here.”
Song Jia looked spirited and determined, not at all like someone who had argued with her husband.
Jiang Ning didn't think much of it and helped her carry the bag into the room.
"Since you're here, you can stay here. Gao Baoliang's family has just moved back to their own home, so you can stay in the room they used to live in."
Song Jia followed with her two children.
It's right in the front yard, just a few steps away.
The room had been tidied up by Yang Lu and was especially cozy and beautiful.
When Song Jia saw it, she found it to be bigger and more beautiful than her original home, and she was very satisfied.
"Ningning, you're doing very well in the capital. Your house is probably ten times better than the average person's. Then we won't stand on ceremony."
Song Jia looked around the house, sighed, and then said to the two children:
"Quickly thank Aunt Ningning. We'll live here from now on. You have to be good."
Five-year-old Huo Chunling and four-year-old Huo Xinyu, being rather shy, timidly said "thank you."
Jiang Ning ruffled their hair and smiled:
"It's like your own home here. You can play in the backyard. There aren't many rules. In the evening, when two older brothers and sisters come home from school, you can play together."
After saying that, she told Song Jia to treat this place as her own home and not to be too reserved. In this era where everyone is working hard to make money, it is rare to have such close friends.
Upon hearing this, Song Jia's feigned strength crumbled, and her eyes reddened.
"Ningning, thank you. The luckiest thing in my life is meeting you."
As soon as they settled in, Wang Xiufen invited them to dinner.
The two children didn't eat well on the train, but when they did, they ate the delicious food with gusto.
“These two kids are usually very picky about what they eat at home, and I don’t have time to supervise them. Look how much they’re enjoying their food now.”
Jiang Ning's gaze swept over the two children; they were indeed rather thin, and their faces lacked the healthy glow that children should have. She comforted her, saying:
"It's alright, just adjust your spleen and stomach and you'll be fine. From now on, with our twins, I guarantee they'll fight over food."
The twins have never caused us any trouble with their eating since they were little. They eat everything, and watching them eat makes the food seem especially delicious.
After dinner, Jiang Ning cleared the dishes, and Song Jia quickly helped.
"You guys do the cooking, I'll take care of the dishes."
Jiang Ning thought that since she was going to stay there long-term, it would be good for her to share some of the work, so she didn't stop her.
The two chatted as they cleaned the kitchen.
Wang Xiufen and Ji Min played with the two children.
"Does your mother-in-law usually cook?" Song Jia asked.
Jiang Ning: "Because everyone is at work, she does most of the work, but we also do it on weekends."
Song Jia: "Then you shouldn't leave me, the head chef, unused in the future. The restaurant I run isn't very big, so I have to do a lot of things myself. My cooking skills are pretty good now."
Jiang Ning wiped the stove and chuckled, "Well, another one trying to steal my mother-in-law's chores. I'll try your cooking next time."
Song Jia: "No problem. By the way, is that pretty aunt really your biological mother?"
Jiang Ning gave her a brief introduction, and now that she thinks back, something seems off. She thought she had both parents before.
"It's a long story, and I've never told you before. Actually, my original parents weren't my biological parents."
I was secretly switched at birth and raised in our home. I accidentally discovered the truth and found my mother, but she has been in a state of mental instability since losing me.
"And what about your father?" Song Jia asked without thinking.
Jiang Ning paused, holding the rag in her hand, and after a few seconds, she said:
"I don't know, I'm afraid I'll only know after my mother wakes up."
Song Jia realized the question was a bit abrupt and immediately stopped.
"As long as Mom is here, it doesn't matter whether Dad is here or not."
She probably projected herself onto the situation, and her words carried a hint of disdain.
After tidying up, she took her two children to rest.
They came by hard-seat train and didn't get a good night's rest; the two children suffered quite a bit.
Jiang Ning accompanied the two mothers for a walk for a while before they each went back to their rooms to rest.
At five o'clock, Jiang Ning went to pick up her child.
Wang Xiufen also busied herself in the kitchen.
Song Jia brought her two children out and saw that Wang Xiufen had already started cooking, so she quickly went over to help.
Not knowing everyone's tastes, she didn't rashly take on the task of cooking dinner.
Wang Xiufen was preparing to make noodles that evening, so she kneaded a large ball of dough in a big bowl and set it aside.
When Song Jia learned that Wang Xiufen could now make not only noodles, steamed buns, and fried dough sticks, but also tofu pudding and cold skin noodles, she was absolutely astonished.
"Aunt Wang, you're amazing! All I can do now is stir-fry vegetables; I really can't make these kinds of noodles."
She chatted with her while washing the vegetables.
Wang Xiufen took out a piece of meat to wash.
"It's nothing, you'll get the hang of it once you get the hang of it. I usually cook one meal of rice and one meal of noodles, so that everyone can eat what they want."
"It's not easy to feed the whole family," Song Jia sighed.
Wang Xiufen smiled and said, "I'm used to it and it's not tiring. Compared to them who are out in the wind and rain every day, I stay at home every day and enjoy myself too much."
After hearing her words, Song Jia thought of her own parents-in-law, who helped take care of the two children and also cooked, which was quite hard for them.
She didn't know if they would miss the child, but she was too angry with Huo Xiao this time and had to take this step.
Those feelings of guilt towards the elderly were quickly forgotten.
More than an hour later, everyone returned one after another.
Song Jia led her two children and greeted everyone.
Everyone welcomed them, which deeply moved Song Jia.
When the twins returned, Jiaojiao and Tongtong led the two children running around the yard, their silvery laughter echoing through the yard. She told herself that she had not made a mistake in taking this step.
All the previous worries have disappeared.
They can finally settle down here.
After dinner, Song Jia naturally went into the kitchen to work.
The children gathered together to play with toys.
Under the enthusiastic guidance of the twins, Xiaoling and Xiaoyu completely shed their initial restraint and started talking more.
After playing until around 8 o'clock, Lin Chen took the children to bed.
Jiang Ning accompanied them back to the room, where she watched as Song Jia made the bed for the child while talking to her.
"I'm starting work tomorrow, what are your plans?"
