Chapter 167 The Precious Pearl
“It’ll be fine once Mom goes back. The Jiang family doesn’t have any girls, so they like Baozhu more. It’s not like they’re trying to take your mom away. Besides, look, Baozhu even shares the same name as us,” Wang Baomin comforted Wang Baoshan.
“But the middle character of our girl’s name is Chun,” Wang Baoshan muttered to himself.
"Do whatever you want, I can't be bothered with you." Wang Baomin simply stopped trying to persuade him.
During her time in the hospital, the two of them couldn't help her at all; at most, they could only keep Tao Ying company and talk to her.
Wang Baoshan was admitted to the graduate program in civil engineering in Shanghai, and Wang Baomin is also preparing to come and work together on matters at the head office.
Wang Chunni has already completed her resignation process, and Yang Lin's job transfer appointment has been finalized. They're just waiting for Wang Chuntao to finish her college entrance exams so they can come over together.
Tao Ying bought an apartment for each of her children nearby, but only arranged a room for Tao Chenyang at home.
The third floor houses Tao Ying and Jiang Huan's room, opposite which is the children's room. The second floor houses Tao Chenyang's room, and opposite Tao Chenyang's room are guest rooms.
The first floor had rooms for two nannies, so Wang Baoshan and Wang Baomin stayed in the guest room, and neither of them minded.
The main reason is that Mom is here, and there's room for her, so who would want to live alone?
Now that Tao Ying has been discharged from the hospital, Jiang Yizhou and the others are too embarrassed to come over. Only Old Madam Jiang and Old Master Jiang come over every day as if it were their job, and Jiang Jiang and Sun Cuiping come over from time to time.
Jiang Huan only stayed at home for three days before returning to his unit; he didn't have that many days off.
Wang Baomin and Wang Baoshan drove here. Wang Baomin would go to work at the head office every day and bring the ox and horse with him.
I'll come back in the evening and keep Tao Ying company.
The two of them didn't have many opportunities to meet with Madam Jiang and Grandpa Jiang.
Both nannies were live-in nannies and very capable. Madam Jiang would also bring the nannies and driver over, so Xiao Baozhu was taken very well in.
In just one month, Baozhu was taken care of and became chubby and incredibly cute.
Tao Ying is also well-nourished, with a rosy complexion and a plump but not bloated figure, making her look even more charming.
Before she knew it, it was time for Wang Chuntao to take the college entrance examination. Before the exam, Wang Chuntao made a special phone call to Tao Ying.
"Mom, I don't want you to come and accompany me to the exam. My grades are very stable. The college entrance exam is just a stage in my life. I won't perform well or poorly because of whether you're there or not. Right now, my sister can't live without you. I'll come to see you after the exam," Wang Chuntao said to Tao Ying clearly.
"Okay, Chuntao, Mom believes in you," Tao Ying replied gently.
There was no requirement to accompany the parents to the exam, nor to be the kind of parent who only moved themselves.
Three days later, Wang Chuntao finished her college entrance examination, and Yang Lin brought Wang Chunni, Wang Chuntao, Tao Chenyang, and Yang Chenxi to Shanghai.
Tao Ying went to pick them up when they arrived.
Tao Ying and Wang Baomin went to the train station to pick them up together.
Yang Lin did not drive, mainly because Yang Chenxi was too young.
I'm worried that driving for too long will be too much for my child.
"Grandma!!!" Tao Chenyang rushed over the moment he saw Tao Ying.
Tao Ying immediately squatted down, stretched out her hands, and prepared to catch Tao Chenyang.
However, Tao Chenyang stopped in front of Tao Ying.
She slowly nestled into Tao Ying's arms, saying, "Grandma, I missed you."
"Grandma misses you too." Tao Ying hugged Tao Chenyang affectionately.
The little guy has grown so much in just a few months.
"Grandma, is Auntie Xiao Xiao good? Is she easy to take care of?" Tao Chenyang looked at Tao Ying with anticipation.
"What is 'Little Aunt' called?" Tao Ying couldn't help but laugh out loud.
“Mom, Yangyang said that I will always be her aunt, and Baozhu is younger than her, so she is her little aunt,” Wang Chuntao said with a smile as she walked over.
“Our Yangyang is right.” Tao Ying stroked Tao Chenyang’s head.
"Let me see our Xixi." Tao Ying looked at Yang Chenxi, who was already seven months old.
It's chubby and white, and it has grown two lower teeth.
She smiles broadly at everyone she meets, revealing two tiny baby teeth, which is quite comical.
However, Tao Ying did not hug Yang Chenxi, but instead held Tao Chenyang's hand and walked ahead.
Wang Chunni, Yang Lin, and Yang Chenxi rode in Wang Baomin's car.
Wang Chuntao and Tao Chenyang rode in Tao Ying's car.
"Mom, why don't you ask me how my exam went?" Wang Chuntao asked Tao Ying after getting on the bus.
"The exams are all over, asking won't change anything. Mom just wants you to be happy," Tao Ying replied earnestly.
"Auntie will definitely do very well on the exam," Tao Chenyang said, looking up with a serious expression.
"You little rascal." Wang Chuntao put her arm around Tao Chenyang's shoulder.
The group first went to Tao Ying's house. Some of the more important items from Wang Chunni's family were sent over and placed in the house that Tao Ying had bought for them.
"Chuntao, I bought you an apartment near the University of Finance and Economics. Mom also saved you a room at home, right next to Yangyang's room," Tao Ying said to Wang Chuntao.
"Mom, why isn't there a room for me and Baoshan?" Wang Baomin completely broke down.
"How old are you and Baoshan? Don't you know that when your son grows up, you have to separate the family property?" Tao Ying didn't feel guilty at all.
Wang Baomin was speechless. This was even more hurtful than being accused of delaying his relationship with Uncle Jiang.
When the group arrived home, the nanny had already prepared a sumptuous meal.
Madam Jiang and Grandpa Jiang were playing with Jiang Xuan, who was lying in the cradle.
Although the little guy can't do anything yet, the elderly couple can't get enough of him.
"Hello, Grandpa and Grandma." After entering the house, the group greeted the elderly couple politely.
"Greetings, Great-Grandpa! Greetings, Great-Grandma!" Tao Chenyang greeted them politely.
"Come in and sit down," said Madam Jiang with a smile, taking care of the group.
After they came in, they went to see Baozhu first.
No one suggested a hug.
Tao Ying took Yang Chenxi from Wang Chunni's arms and said, "Let's eat first."
"Chuntao, Yangyang, let me show you the room first." Tao Ying put the children in the nanny's arms.
Then the three of them went to the second floor.
Tao Chenyang's room was decorated in a princess-style theme by Tao Ying.
Wang Chuntao's is more minimalist.
Both of them loved their room very much.
After the meal, Tao Ying asked Wang Baomin to take Yang Lin's family home.
Wang Chuntao went to Tao Ying's study, already preparing to work on matters concerning the head office.
Tao Chenyang stayed behind to watch over Baozhu.
When the results came out, Wang Chuntao was not surprised at all to have been admitted to the University of Finance and Economics in Shanghai.
This news did not cause Wang Chuntao much of a stir.
Because Wang Chuntao devoted all her energy to the head office.
Tao Ying gave Wang Chuntao free rein, allowing her to act boldly and even approving a grant of 100,000 yuan to support her efforts.
Tao Ying herself has begun to enjoy life.
In just three years, Tao Ying has already made her mark on the rich list.
All businesses blossomed and turned into golden goose hens.
Tao Ying also ushered in the 1990s, the era of the stock market, which she had been longing for.
"Wah! Wah! Wah!" In the best kindergarten in Shanghai, a chubby three-and-a-half-year-old boy was holding a chubby little girl who was also fair-skinned and chubby, and he was crying loudly.
The little girl looked a little smaller than the little boy.
The little girl looked utterly dejected, and with one chubby little hand, she gently patted the little boy's back.
"Xixi, don't cry. Xixi is no longer a one or two-year-old child. Our Xixi is a three-year-old big girl now." The little girl's voice was crisp and clear.
If you look closely, you can see the little guy with a hint of helplessness on his face and slightly red eyes.
"Auntie, I miss my mom, I miss my mom, I want my mom!" Yang Chenxi continued to wail.
"Xi Xi, be good." Bao Zhu secretly wiped away her tears, hugged Yang Chen Xi tightly, and tried her best to maintain the demeanor of an elder.
"I want my mom!" Yang Chenxi continued to cry.
"Wah!!!" When Baozhu saw that she couldn't coax Yang Chenxi, she also started crying loudly.
Baozhu's voice was particularly loud, and almost all the children in the kindergarten started crying.
The kindergarten teacher, who had just managed to calm some of the children down, was completely exhausted.
Whose child is this? Her crying makes all our hard work pointless.
"Auntie, don't cry. We're just here to go to school. Grandma didn't abandon you." As soon as Yang Chenxi saw Baozhu crying, she immediately forgot why she was crying and quickly comforted Baozhu gently.
At this moment, Baozhu had no time to maintain her public image.
All I could do was wail and cry for my mother.
"Auntie, don't cry. Crying too much is bad for your eyes, and you won't be able to eat your big chicken leg at lunch." Yang Chenxi instantly forgot why she was crying and could only start to comfort Baozhu.
Upon hearing the name "Big Chicken Leg Pearl," Baozhu immediately stopped.
Large, glistening tears still clung to her eyes, her gaze filled with anticipation.
He even secretly swallowed.
Because Jiang Baozhu ate too much and too well, she became overweight, so Tao Ying began to restrict her diet.
So as soon as Jiang Baozhu heard there were chicken legs, she started drooling.
"Then you can't tell my mom." Jiang Baozhu looked around like a thief, and when she didn't see Tao Ying's clothes, she breathed a sigh of relief.
“Then let’s not cry anymore. We’re three years old now, we can’t act like one- or two-year-olds.” Yang Chenxi nodded immediately.
Yang Chenxi was most afraid of Tao Ying, even though Tao Ying never scolded him.
“Yes, our two nieces are both fifteen, we’re big kids now.” Jiang Baozhu nodded vigorously.
The teacher who was about to come over looked at the two little ones and felt a little helpless.
These two little ones managed to make all the other students in the class cry, but then they managed to calm themselves down.
It really is "..."
After school, Tao Ying came to pick them up, and the two little ones ran out hand in hand.
"Mom, I've missed you so much." The moment Baozhu saw Tao Ying arrive, she rushed over like a little cannonball.
Yang Chenxi, on the other hand, walked past with his head drooping and taking three steps at a time.
"Xixi, what's wrong? Look, she's not a witch, why are you so scared of Mom?" Tao Ying squatted down and teased Yang Chenxi with a smile.
"I... I'm not afraid to see Grandma," Yang Chenxi said, her voice still trembling.
"Is Baozhu happy today?" Tao Ying gently picked up Jiang Xuan.
"I'm so happy! I even comforted Xixi, she cried so hard!" Jiang Xuan patted her chest, full of pride, and said happily.
“But my aunt cried even louder,” Yang Chenxi couldn’t help but retort.
I felt that I was even braver than my aunt.
"Really? Did Xixi protect her aunt?" Tao Ying bent down and looked directly into Yang Chenxi's eyes.
“Yes, I even comforted my aunt,” Yang Chenxi immediately said loudly.
"Our Xixi is really great." Tao Ying gave her a thumbs up without hesitation.
Yang Chenxi instantly radiated beauty.
So, Tao Ying happily took the two children home together.
In three years, Wang Baoshan has successfully applied for and obtained the qualification to study abroad.
After his graduation defense, Wang Baoshan will go abroad directly.
Wang Baomin, on the other hand, has undergone a complete transformation.
This fully demonstrates his business acumen.
As for Wang Chuntao, there's no need to say more.
Ever since Wang Chuntao started school, she's been overjoyed, like a mouse that's landed in a rice bin.
Every day, we continuously conduct simulations and calculations.
The funding that Tao Ying initially approved for Wang Chunni has increased exponentially.
Tao Ying doesn't have much talent; everything she has is due to her prophetic abilities.
Therefore, Tao Ying never sets her sights too high; professional matters should be handled by professionals.
Jiang Huan was also successfully promoted to division commander.
So now I'm even busier every day, so busy I barely have time to breathe.
After Yang Lin was transferred here, with the instructions from Old Madam Jiang, he thrived in the police station.
Wang Chunni also set up a small studio.
She serves individual customers every day, and because Wang Chunni calculates the accounts quickly and accurately, her business is very good.
Tao Chenyang is now in the second year of junior high school and has completely grown into a young woman.
During her three years in Shanghai, Tao Ying took exceptionally good care of Tao Chenyang.
She is no longer the little girl who was on the verge of death.
Tao Chenyang is now confident, optimistic, and has high expectations for the future.
Tao Ying drove back, and the two little ones started chattering again.
When I got home, before I could even change my clothes, I suddenly received a call from Li Guiying, who said that Zhou Daya was dying.
"What's going on? I'm going to buy tickets now?" Tao Ying's legs were a little weak.
For the past three years, Tao Ying has visited Zhou Daya every year and brought her many gifts.
Tao Ying still couldn't understand how she could have passed away so quickly, even though she had repented and met with the old lady just six months ago.
"Sister-in-law, actually Mom hasn't been feeling too well these past two months, but she's been telling me not to tell you." Wang Dashuan's eyes were red.
Tao Ying didn't say anything; she was a nearly eighty-year-old woman.
Although there are very few elderly people of this age, Tao Ying still hopes that Zhou Daya will live to be a hundred years old.
When Wang Baoshan and the others heard that Zhou Daya was dying, they immediately put down their work.
As for Baozhu and Yang Chenxi, everyone forgot about her for a while.
"What about the child?" Wang Chunni asked Tao Ying.
It's alright for Yang Chenxi to go back and escort Zhou Daya.
But it wouldn't be appropriate for Jiang Xuan to go back.
Jiang Xuan is a child of the Jiang family, and has no major relation to Zhou Daya or Grandpa Jiang.
Therefore, Tao Ying did not intend to take Jiang Xuan back.
Yang Chenxi didn't plan to take him with her, mainly because the child was too young.
