The control group in Chapter 200's chronological text (32)
"Dad, my little sister wants some ice cream, could you get it for us?"
As soon as Changqing entered the door, the handsome little boy immediately saw him and ran over, saying eagerly that this was his eldest son, Xiaxia. Not far away on the sofa, there was also a little girl of two or three years old playing with toys; that was his youngest daughter, Qiuqiu.
Xiaxia is now six years old, fair-skinned, and clever.
A cunning glint shone in his dark, grape-like eyes.
On the other hand, her daughter Qiuqiu is quiet and gentle, as if she inherited her mother's quiet temperament.
Several years have passed.
Changqing hadn't changed much; he was much the same as he had been in Datian Village. He reached out and patted his son's head, then smiled.
"Come on, does your sister look like she wants ice cream?"
The little guy immediately hugged his leg.
"Okay, okay, I want to eat it. Dad, can you get it for me? Mom hid the ice cream on the top shelf of the refrigerator, and I can't reach it."
Changqing put the bag in his hand on the cabinet next to him and reached out to pick up the little guy.
"Shh! I wouldn't dare get it for you. Your mom has already set a rule: you can only have one ice cream a day, understand? You already had one this morning, so don't even think about it."
The little guy pursed his lips speechlessly.
"Never mind, I won't eat it, but you have to take us to the park."
He quickly shifted his focus.
Hearing that they were going out to play, the little girl who was playing with building blocks on the sofa lit up and looked up.
Changqing walked over and asked, "What's wrong, Qiuqiu? Do you want to go out and play too?"
The little girl blinked, "Go!"
She was a woman of few words, a completely different style from her brother, who was rather talkative.
Evergreen will also follow its natural course.
"Okay, then we'll go out together in a bit."
He thought for a moment and then said, "Let's pick Mom up from get off work first, then go to the park for a while, and finally, we'll go out to eat."
"Yay!"
Xiaxia immediately jumped up excitedly.
Although Qiuqiu didn't say anything, she couldn't hide the smile on her face.
Ten minutes later.
Changqing carried his daughter and held his son's hand as they went out.
Now, they live in a small courtyard they bought near the government office. These days, even in the provincial capital, there aren't many high-rise buildings; people usually live in tenement buildings. Being able to live in an independent courtyard is already considered quite good.
Transportation is also very convenient; the park is just a short walk away.
Along the way.
Many people greeted Changqing, calling him Director Wan. Most of the residents in this area were from nearby government offices, and many of them knew each other.
Changqing responded with a smile to each of them.
"Director Wan, Xiaohui has been admitted to a university in Beijing and will be starting school in a few months. Will you also be transferred to work in Beijing?"
Someone came up and asked.
Changqing shook his head. "Transferring isn't that easy, especially to Beijing. It's even harder. I can only ask my mom to come and help take care of the kids."
The man smiled and said, "That's good too. Your two children are so well-behaved and adorable, they'll be easy to take care of."
The daughter Changqing was holding was just focused on playing with her fingers.
Xiaxia, the son standing to the side, raised his hand and said, "We can also go to Beijing to see Mom."
The family had told the children that their mother was going to school, and they accepted it well without crying or making a fuss.
Changqing exchanged a few pleasantries with the man.
Then, he took the two children to Su Hui's workplace. Just then, a group of people were leaving get off work, and Su Hui was among them. When she saw Changqing and the two children, the group of people laughed and joked with each other.
"Huihui, your handsome husband is here to pick you up again."
"Sigh, if I were Huihui's husband, I would definitely pick her up every day. Huihui is beautiful and went to university; her future is limitless."
Su Hui smiled and patted her colleague next to her, "Stop joking, I'm leaving now. Let's get together again in a few days."
She now works at the neighborhood office.
The work is fairly easy.
She didn't take her colleagues' jokes to heart at all. What her colleagues didn't know was that her husband was incredibly capable. In fact, she now admired him a little. It was as if he knew everything and understood everything. Whenever she encountered a difficult problem, she could just tell him, and he would always find a solution.
Even when I took the college entrance exam, he helped me find materials and tutored me. Otherwise, with my junior high school education, I would have been completely lost during the exam.
Now, Su Hui, who has a child, is still not very old, just over twenty. She still looks youthful and beautiful, but her face is a little rounder than before, and her eyes have a gentler look.
She walked over.
The little girl in Changqing's arms opened her arms, wanting her mother to hold her.
The little girl is very close to her mother.
Su Hui reached out and took her daughter.
Changqing then took the bag from her hand.
Xiaxia, the son next to her, also tugged at his mother's clothes.
"Mom, I played with my little sister today, can I have an extra ice cream?"
He tilted his head back, his eyes crinkling, and his voice pleading.
However, Su Hui reacted the same way as Chang Qing, only glaring at her son, "Come on, your sister is so sensible, she doesn't need you to take care of her. She can play with her toys all day long. Besides, I've said it before, eating too much ice cream is bad for your health. You all need to know how to be moderate."
When Xiaxia heard her mother say that, she didn't make a fuss and quickly changed the subject.
"Well, Dad said we're eating at a restaurant later, and I want pork dumplings!"
Of course, there's nothing wrong with that.
Su Hui immediately agreed.
This son is precocious and clever. He will say what he wants, but he will never cry or make a fuss if he doesn't get it. Instead, he will try to make up for it in other ways.
The family went for a walk in the park. When they came out, their daughter Qiuqiu reached out her hands and asked her father to hug her.
"Your daughter feels sorry for you because you're tired."
Changqing took his daughter in one hand and said with a smile.
Su Hui gently patted her daughter's head. She really liked this daughter who was very much like herself.
Xiaxia, the son, raised his hand.
“I can walk by myself, and I feel sorry for my mom.”
Su Hui smiled.
"Yes, yes, you are all good children."
The family chatted and laughed as they went out to eat, and Xiaxia finally got to eat the pork dumplings she had been craving.
Su Hui looked at the group of people in front of her and felt a pang of emotion.
Her original plan was to find a reliable man to marry, raise her children, and live out her life like that.
I don't have many ideals.
I just wanted an easier life, so I wouldn't have to live under someone else's roof.
But life now is indeed somewhat beyond my expectations.
The two children are cute and smart.
Just seeing them makes me feel happy.
Needless to say, Wan Zhiqing, even though she had been married for several years, sometimes still couldn't believe that such an outstanding man had become her husband.
More importantly, he never restricted her; instead, he encouraged and guided her to do things she had never even thought of.
For example, taking the college entrance exam.
Now, she is really looking forward to university life, which gives her a feeling of living a different kind of life.
"Oh, right."
Changqing, who was eating, suddenly looked up and said, "Huihui, Yang Jun actually contacted me a few days ago, saying that he's going to have a baby and invited us to his wedding."
Su Hui was taken aback.
After a while, it dawned on me, "You mean my cousin Su Yu's husband? How did he get your contact information?"
Changqing shook his head. "I don't know either. Maybe I heard it from somewhere else."
He smiled and said, "Yang Jun also complained to me that Su Yu was pressuring him to quit his job every day, saying that starting a business was the future."
Upon hearing this, Su Hui shook her head repeatedly.
“I’ll believe you if you start your own business, Yang Jun? I don’t believe Su Yu’s claim that starting a business guarantees money.”
Changqing raised an eyebrow. "Why?"
Su Hui nodded and said, "Starting a business is not as simple as setting up a stall. To make big money, you need connections and networks. Right now, Yang Jun seems to be helping out as a driver at the commune. What information or connections could he possibly have? Do you really think you can make big money just by setting up a stall?"
Changqing nodded in agreement.
"You're so smart."
Su Hui laughed and said, "I learned it from you."
Xiaxia, the son standing to the side, added, "Both Mom and Dad are smart, so my sister and I are smart too."
The whole family laughed.
Changqing was indeed speechless at Su Yu's refusal to consider the realities of the situation and her insistence on acting solely based on her memories from her previous life.
In his previous life, Yang Jun was a retired military officer who rose to a leadership position. His access to information was far superior, and his ability to seize opportunities for starting a business was unmatched. Moreover, back then he had a much wider network of connections—old comrades-in-arms, colleagues, superiors…
The conditions are completely different now.
Su Hui nudged his arm. "Wan Zhiqing, do you have any ambitions?"
Changqing shook his head. "No, I think it's fine now. I'm very satisfied."
Although going into business will become very popular in a few years.
But Changqing didn't have that idea.
He is not short of money.
Even if you have a job, there are legal ways to earn the money you need, so there's no need to go through all that trouble.
