Xiaobao, full name, Zhou Jiasheng.
When Zhou Jiasheng's baby was four months old, Shen Xinyi went to work, and the task of taking care of the child fell on Lin Xiaoman. Because she hired a nanny, she didn't have to do housework, which was quite easy.
Lin Xiaoman’s daily routine is to take the kids for a walk, which is truly a retirement life.
Time flies, and it is July again. Li Jing, who is on summer vacation, comes to work at around 9 o'clock in the morning and goes back at around 4 o'clock in the afternoon. Even though she gets a myocardial infarction from time to time because of disagreements with Lin Xiaoman, she still happily comes to see her grandson every day.
When facing Shen Xinyi, Li Jing had long lost her former arrogance and turned into a cautious flatterer, fearing to offend her daughter-in-law.
Whenever Li Jing encountered something she didn't like, she wouldn't talk to Shen Xinyi directly. Instead, she would lecture Zhou Yang, her own son.
Because of Li Jing's change in attitude, Chen Xinyi was willing to go back and stay for a day or two on occasional weekends or holidays.
The days passed peacefully without any disturbances. Lin Xiaoman felt that his mission was secure, but he didn't know when it would be completed.
Well, retirement, retirement, just treat it as a vacation for yourself.
As time went by, Zhou Jiasheng grew up day by day. He could sit, walk, and even babble...
Soon, two years passed.
As a member of the older generation who believes that having many children brings more blessings, Li Jing's desire to have a second child took root and sprouted, growing bigger and bigger. Finally, she couldn't help it anymore and started talking to Zhou Yang.
Tired of being nagged, Zhou Yang picked a day when Chen Xinyi was in a good mood. As the couple were whispering to each other, he casually asked, "Honey, Shengsheng is three years old now. Do you think we should have another child?"
She didn't refuse, but hesitated for a moment, "I'll think about it."
At the dinner table the next day, Chen Xinyi discussed with Lin Xiaoman, "Mom, do you think I should have another child? In Wu City, many families with only one child have two children, one with the man's surname and one with the woman's surname. Do you think we should have one with my surname?"
Shen Xinyi didn't care much about the surname, after all, they were all her own children. However, she was afraid that Lin Xiaoman would feel at a disadvantage, so she asked for her opinion.
Lin Xiaoman didn't care about the surname at all. After all, she definitely didn't care. However, in line with the professional ethics of a service staff, Lin Xiaoman still discussed it with the original owner.
An excellent tasker must consider the original owner from all angles.
After some discussion, it became clear that the original owner, Li Yanying, had a mediocre relationship with her deceased husband, and that she hadn't remarried out of fear that her daughter would be wronged. Furthermore, the Shen family still had an uncle and a younger brother-in-law. Since Chen Xinyi had cousins, the Shen family's lineage would never be cut off.
As for whether or not to have a grandchild with the surname Chen, Li Yanying said it doesn't matter, she just wants her daughter to live a happy life.
According to the original owner's suggestion, Lin Xiaoman said with an open mind: "I don't care. I don't care that much about the surname. Xinyi, if you want to have a baby, then have it. If you don't want to have a baby, then don't. It's your decision."
"Then... not having another child?" Chen Xinyi confirmed with Lin Xiaoman and explained, "Actually, I think having Shengsheng is enough. More children isn't necessarily better. What really matters is that they are well-educated."
Although I have my mother Lin Xiaoman to help me, as a mother, I still have to do many things myself.
She was already very busy at work, and if she had another child, Chen Xinyi felt that she might not be able to take care of it.
"Well, one is also good." Lin Xiaoman nodded, agreeing with her.
"Then we won't have a baby." Lin Xiaoman didn't object, so Shen Xinyi finalized it. Then she looked at Zhou Yang and said, "Hubby, we won't have a baby. What do you think?"
"Then I won't have another child." Zhou Yang nodded. In fact, he also felt that one child was enough. It was just that his mother was nagging and annoying all the time.
After listening to all this, Zhou Yang already had an explanation.
When Li Jing urged for a second child again, Zhou Yang said, "My mother-in-law said that if we have another child, the child must take her family name, Chen, but my wife doesn't want to have a second child. Mom, what do you think? Do you want me to persuade my wife again?"
As soon as these words were spoken, Li Jing immediately stopped thinking, "Forget it, since the child won't have his son's surname, then I'd better not have the child."
After the little episode of whether to have a second child, another year passed in a flash. Zhou Jiasheng was 4 years old, and Chen Xinyi began to think about going to kindergarten.
Education should start from childhood!
Wu City's economy is not bad, but it is only a second-tier city after all. Chen Xinyi thought that it would be better to go to a first-tier city to give her son a higher starting point.
Thinking of this, Shen Xinyi turned his attention to Shanghai, a first-tier city 300 kilometers away.
After discussing with Lin Xiaoman, Chen Xinyi immediately took action and started to change jobs.
Chen Xinyi: I plan to develop in Shanghai.
Zhou Yang was completely confused by this.
Shen Xinyi said a lot, "This is all for our son." Zhou Yang had no reason to refute it. Moreover, Shen Xinyi was definitely not discussing it, but notifying it.
Half a month later, Shen Xinyi, who had received many interviews, resigned from his original unit and went to Shanghai.
A week later, the job was finalized.
It is a Fortune 500 company, and her annual salary has increased from 300,000 when she was in Wu City to 500,000.
Chen Xinyi went to work in Shanghai in a hurry. Lin Xiaoman cooperated very well and sold 5 apartments, cashing out 4.5 million. Together with the 6 million in hand, the total was about 10.5 million.
Lin Xiaoman first bought a relatively new second-hand house in a community near Shen Xinyi's new unit. It was 129 square meters, with three bedrooms and two living rooms. Lin Xiaoman spent all the money he had, and it was not enough. Shen Xinyi added another 500,000.
The house is still under Lin Xiaoman's name.
After finding a house, the mother and daughter continued to discuss and finally chose a small house in the school district, 89 square meters, which cost 120,000 yuan per square meter, a total of 11 million yuan, which was much more expensive than the one they bought to live in.
Lin Xiaoman simply bought the two 129-square-meter unfinished houses in the eastern suburbs for 5 million yuan, and then sold 5 apartments, this time cashing out 5 million yuan.
Chen Xinyi withdrew all the provident fund he had when he was in Wu City, and then added all his savings to it, and bought the house.
Because it was related to the child's education, the house was placed in Shen Xinyi's name. Of course, Lin Xiaoman was doing a "gift". After all, it's better to be safe than sorry. If something really happened in the future, Zhou Yang wouldn't get a penny.
After buying two houses, the mother and daughter, along with Zhou Jiasheng, officially settled down in Shanghai.
Here, they went to Shencheng to develop, and the Zhou family was in a state of anxiety. Their wives and children had all gone to Shencheng, and Zhou Yang couldn't stay in Wu City alone, so he had to find a way to transfer there as well...
After Li Jing learned about this, she was so worried. In Wu City, at least she could see her son and grandson every week, but after going to Shencheng... well, now it's really like having a son-in-law who lives with the family, she can't even see them!
