Cuihua nodded. Qiangzi was right. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. She was already over sixty and needed to take good care of herself.
Southwest rode his bicycle, taking Liu Lili home with him: "Lili, the person who treats me best in this family is Nannan. I've told you that many times. Don't cause trouble for no reason."
Liu Lili said with some grievance, "Southwest, you know my factory isn't doing well, so I'm a little anxious."
“Your factory isn’t doing well, but you still have me. Even if you get laid off, I can still get you a storefront. Why are you going to Nan Nan?” Southwest was a little unhappy.
"I was just thinking that since my sister-in-law and Shen Shaohua are both working here in Nannan, one more person won't make a difference," Liu Lili said.
Southwest sighed: "Lily, I know what you're thinking, but have you thought about it? Your sister-in-law grew up with Nannan since she was little, and Shen Shaohua is Nannan's right-hand man. What can you do for Nannan?"
Liu Lili thought for a moment and shook her head: "I'm not good at anything except statistics."
“Lily, I have money around me, and I’m a factory manager now. As long as we don’t waste our money, we can have everything they have.”
"Really? Then I want to send Bao'er to a good school, you know, a really expensive one, is that okay?"
“Okay, children’s education is very important. Look at Fu Bao, Southeast University has also enrolled her in a good school. I heard the tuition is more than 10,000 yuan a year.”
"Really? Then let's enroll Bao'er in a good school too. I'll ask you for advice on everything from now on, and I'll never make decisions on my own again." Liu Lili is willing to compromise on anything as long as her daughter is doing well.
“Listen to me, just stay in the factory and endure it. You’re a permanent employee, and you’re a college graduate with a guaranteed job placement. The higher-ups will definitely find you a place to go,” Southwest advised.
Liu Lili nodded repeatedly. She wanted to earn more money so that Bao'er could eat and drink well and receive a good education. As for herself, it didn't matter.
Southwest Group values Liu Lili for this reason: she makes sense, and as long as you explain the logic to her, she will definitely not make trouble.
“If you’re not busy tomorrow, go and take a look at that school. They should be starting primary school this summer,” Southwest said.
Liu Lili hugged Southwest's waist, wondering if Bao'er would cry tonight since she wouldn't be sleeping next to her.
Before we knew it, it was the 28th of the lunar year. Everyone was so busy that they barely had time to breathe. Even Yan Xiaonan carried Enming to work, whether it was at the clothing factory, the club, or even the furniture factory.
We'll be off work on New Year's Eve morning, so all the employee benefits need to be prepared, including year-end bonuses.
Sheng Lijuan and Ye Chen'er both had dark circles under their eyes. Fortunately, they had cultivated many outstanding talents over the years, which helped them share a lot of the workload.
Yan Aidang even held a party in Shanghai, since he had established a branch company there.
In contrast, with Ye Huiguo overseeing the wholesale companies in Shanghai and Yan Aidang helping with the real estate sector, Yan Xiaonan's job was much easier.
Yan Xiaonan desperately hopes her child will grow up quickly and take over all her work so she can go on a tropical island trip.
After closing the office door, Yan Xiaonan slipped into the space. She was about to breastfeed Enming: "Little baby, when will you grow up and help Mommy watch this club, okay?"
"Ah ah oh, woo ah..." Enming was muttering something, but Yan Xiaonan suddenly felt that Enming could understand what she was saying.
"Sweetie, do you prefer older sisters or older brothers?" Yan Xiaonan asked.
Enming didn't say anything; he was hungry now, and getting milk was the most important thing.
Okay, I was overthinking it. A baby this young only eats, poops, and sleeps.
After changing the little one's diaper and coaxing him to sleep, Yan Xiaonan went to the cell. That American woman must be about to give birth.
Looking through the small window, I saw three people: one reading, one sleeping, and one spacing out. Their lives seemed fairly normal.
During this period, Yan Xiaonan not only provided the three of them with food and drink, but also provided them with various books and music.
Aside from the lack of freedom, they can make any request, including prenatal checkups. Yan Xiaonan once brought Xue Ying in, but she couldn't remember anything after leaving.
According to her prenatal checkup records, this fake foreigner is due to give birth in just over two months, which is supposed to be a beautiful time of spring.
The phone in the office outside kept ringing, and Yan Xiaonan carried Enming out of the space.
"Baby, you stay here and sleep peacefully. Mommy's going to take this call." Yan Xiaonan put Enming on the sofa and picked up the phone.
"Nan Nan, Nan Nan, come back quickly, I can't take it anymore, I have to go back..." Cuihua's incoherent yet anxious voice came through the phone.
Yan Xiaonan's heart skipped a beat. Could something have happened to Grandma? "Mommy, Mommy, take a deep breath, take a deep breath."
Cuihua quickly did as Yan Xiaonan instructed, taking a deep breath in and out, repeating this five or six times until she finally calmed down.
"Nannan, your grandpa is dying. I need to go back to my hometown to see him. It might be his last." Cuihua finally spoke her mind.
Yan Xiaonan nodded repeatedly: "Mom, don't worry, I'll go book the tickets first. Think about what you want to bring back."
Upon hearing that Nan Nan was going to book tickets, Cui Hua hung up the phone with a "click." She was going to the grocery store to find Yan Xiaoqiang and discuss what to buy.
"Mom, have Fu Bao make lunch for you. Fu Bao, can you keep an eye on Grandma and my little sister?" Cuihua asked.
Fu Bao nodded: "Grandma, go in peace. Take plenty of money with you. If you need more, I have some here."
Cuihua choked up: "Good child, I have milk here. You just need to watch over my mother and sister."
Yu Shu and Tian Ru stared blankly at Cui Hua. They had never seen their grandmother so heartbroken. Was her father going to die?
Ye Ren didn't say anything, but went to his study and made phone calls to everyone in the east, west, south, north and south.
If one's maternal grandfather has something to do, the grandson is also family and should be present.
"Grandpa, are we going?" Yu Shu asked.
Ye Ren was a little unsure, and decided to listen to Nan Nan's opinion. If Nan Nan thought it was necessary to go, then they would go.
There are now planes from Beijing to Mushroom Village, but unfortunately the planes only fly to a nearby small city, so you still need to take a car.
But the time could be reduced by more than half, so Yan Xiaonan picked up the phone and checked flights to the small city.
With the Lunar New Year approaching, train tickets are in very short supply, but plane tickets are still readily available due to their price.
Grandma Yan definitely can't go, and Xuemei and Fubao shouldn't go either. At least two people need to stay to take care of Grandma Yan and the two elders from the Ye family.
Tianru and Yushu shouldn't go either, otherwise Grandpa Ye will be worried. Enming needs to breastfeed, so let's take her along.
