Ningning’s first birthday is here in a blink of an eye. The most lively event is the "grab the week" ceremony. Let’s see what our Ningning will choose?
As soon as Lu Wanwan got up, she changed Ningning into new clothes for her first birthday, washed her up, and waited for the one-year-old ceremony.
Gu Feng spread a red blanket on the ground, and then placed an abacus, books, a brush, a stethoscope, a seal, a ruler, a sword, and money on it.
After Ningning climbed up, she didn't pick up any of them. Instead, she looked at this one and touched that one, not knowing which one she liked.
"Gu Feng, you said Ningning likes that? Why do I feel like she likes them all?"
"Maybe it looks new and you want to take a look before choosing? It's better to be cautious."
Seeing that Ningning had no intention of making a choice and just sat on it and started playing, Lu Wanwan spoke.
"Ningning, show mom whichever one you like."
Ningning looked at Lu Wanwan and then at the things on the ground, as if she was thinking, but also as if she was just looking.
He picked up the book with his left hand and the brush with his right hand.
"It turns out our Ningning is also a top student in college."
But the style of painting seemed wrong. After Ningning took the book and brush, she did not give up the others. She just picked up this and put down that, picked up this and dropped that.
"So Ningning is a bit greedy and wants everything?"
Finally, she seemed to have made a decision. She took Gu Lei's hand and handed the things to Gu Lei one by one. Finally, she pulled Gu Lei to Lu Wanwan and smiled happily, as if to say, look how great I am, I got everything.
The happy one-year-old celebration passed by like this and ended in this way. I don’t know what Ningning will do in the future. Her greedy look made everyone laugh.
After the one-year-old ceremony, we started preparing lunch. Since the child was one year old, we didn’t invite anyone else, so we just had Gu Lang and his family of five. With them, one table was a bit crowded, and it was not worth it to split it into two tables, so we just squeezed in. Anyway, we had enough appetite, so one or two more people wouldn’t make a difference.
At the dinner table, Tang Xiaoxiao asked Lu Wanwan a question and then started a discussion.
"Wanwan, when are you planning to go to Jing City?"
It's already mid-February and school starts on March 1st, so it's time to get ready.
"We plan to go there a week in advance and pick up Mom and the others when it's almost time. What about you guys?"
"We are still considering it. Since both of us are in school, there is no one to take care of the child."
Lu Wanwan did think that Gu Feng could look after the child at home for a few days, but Gu Feng was a man of great accomplishments and could not stay at home to look after the child all the time.
"Uncle and aunt can't go, right?"
"They can't leave without people here."
Gu Feng's mother said, "We can live next to each other and find an aunt to help. We can also help keep an eye on him, so we can feel more at ease."
"That's fine too. We don't know how many people will be there. I might not be able to take care of two children by myself, but I can look after them from the side."
"Mom, isn't Dad coming over?"
"Your dad won't be going over for now. He'll be staying with your eldest brother and his family. I'll be taking care of the kids. They can come over when they have the chance."
"That's fine. Once things stabilize over there, we can go over there together, big brother."
"Cousin, we mean to go and look for a house first. Do you want to come with us?"
Gu Lang thought that they might have to go with him. They needed to find a place to stay first, such as a house, after all, they had children.
"Let's go together. I'll take care of you on the way. I'll trouble my sister-in-law when we get there."
Lu Wanwan knew what he meant. "It's okay. My house is big and it's no problem to accommodate you."
Gu Lei wondered if it could accommodate them. Even if there were more of them, they could still stay.
"Gu Lei, come with us. You can help look after Ning Ning while we look at houses. How will Mom get there then?"
"I'm fine. I can buy the ticket and go there by myself. You can pick me up there."
"Is this okay?" He thought his parents were going?
"No problem."
"We're leaving in four or five days. If you have anything you need to take, pack it in advance. Don't forget it when the time comes."
After returning home, Gu Lang's parents called them into the house and gave them a thousand yuan. "We can't go and take care of the children. We can't leave your father here. I have to take care of him. You don't have any brothers or sisters. Since your father is the village chief, it is his responsibility. He can't abandon them. Here is a thousand yuan to find a good aunt to take care of Ke Xin."
"Mom, we have money. We translators have saved a lot of money. Tuition and food are free there, and we don't need much. Besides, we can still make money there."
"Take it, this is a token of love from mom and dad to Ke Xin."
Tang Xiaoxiao accepted it only after hearing Gu Lang's words. In fact, they had enough money and could continue to make money there, but it was definitely better to have money than to have no money when traveling.
Lu Wanwan and the others didn't pack much, thinking they would deal with it after they got there. Gu Lang packed a lot of things, most of which were for Lu Wanwan's parents. It would be troublesome for them to go there, so he prepared a lot of things to take with him.
Lu Wanwan was still a little worried, "Gu Feng, can I go there by myself?"
"Don't worry, Mom has traveled far away before, so it's okay. Otherwise, Dad wouldn't be so relieved."
"Okay, what kind of house should we look for? Should we rent or buy?"
"If there's a suitable one, we'll buy it. If there's nothing suitable, we'll rent it first. We want to live there, and it's not good to keep renting."
Lu Wanwan felt that Gu Feng really thought about what she was thinking. "I think so too. I'll ask my parents to keep an eye out for it. We'll buy a suitable house when it comes."
"Okay, then let's see what money we have left. Let's rent a store to sell clothes and save up a lot of clothes this year."
