He didn't want just enough money to make ends meet; he wanted his family to feel that he was there for them whenever they talked about money, and that those other things were insignificant.
"You put the child to sleep first, I'll go tidy up some things." Suti said, putting the child down and trying to organize the space.
Since they came to Beijing, they have never had to worry about food, but she is used to hoarding things, and she doesn't feel secure if her space is not full.
She realized that they would definitely need the space during their trip to Shanghai, and if there were any suitable goods, they couldn't miss the opportunity.
The space is perfect for storing goods; it's impossible to trace, and if used properly, it can be very safe.
Suti sorted out everything inside, except for the money and some other things he needed; he planned to hide the rest at home.
Seeing his wife busy running around, Li Baichuan turned to look at the two little ones.
Seeing their wide-eyed, energetic faces, I wonder how they've started staying up all night at such a young age.
"Go to sleep quickly." Li Baichuan went over and picked up the two little ones, intending to lull them to sleep before helping his wife.
If you were to ask who the children in this family like the most, it would definitely be Su Ti, followed by Li Baichuan.
It's quite strange, really. The two children were very noisy in front of Suti, as if they were constantly trying to get her attention.
But they were very well-behaved in front of Li Baichuan, and every time you saw them interact, you could tell that the three of them, father and sons, had a great understanding of each other.
Suti sometimes feels that the two children have returned with their memories, that they were father and son in their past life, which is why they have such a good relationship in this life.
"Honey, let me help you. These two little ones are getting more and more energetic. It took me ages to get them to sleep. I think I'll have them sleep in separate beds."
As Li Baichuan spoke, he picked up Su Ti and placed her on the bed. Looking at the things on the floor, he went over and carefully tidied them up.
"They're still so young, they can't even sit up yet. We'll talk about it when they're a year old." Suti turned around and looked at the two little ones sleeping soundly together, her eyes full of love.
The way they leaned on each other was truly heartwarming. The sleeping children looked like angels, not to mention how much they resembled her.
Sometimes she felt like she had shrunk, and she couldn't get angry at the two children at all.
“Then it’s settled, we’ll have them sleep in separate beds when they turn one year old,” Li Baichuan said, seizing the opportunity to make his request.
Since the birth of these two children, his wife's heart and soul have been completely devoted to them.
They slept next to him, but because of the heat, they all kept their distance.
"Okay." Suti looked at the person over there whose eyes had lit up and wanted to laugh. Is this how all men are?
Or is it a case of same sex repelling each other? If she had a daughter, would things be different?
Suti watched as he tidied up the things over there, putting all the daily necessities into the cabinet and hiding some dry food under the bed.
There was no other way but to prepare the food; since it couldn't be wasted, I put it back into my storage space.
"Alright, everything's tidied up, let's go to sleep." Li Baichuan got into bed and pulled her into his arms. Su Ti wanted to say it was too hot.
Looking at the person who immediately closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, refusing to let go no matter how much she struggled, I thought, "Fine, calm down and I'll cool down."
Li Baichuan opened his eyes after seeing that his wife had fallen asleep, and continued to hold her contentedly as he drifted off to sleep.
The next day, they got up early and told their grandmother that they were going back to Shanghai, and also asked the family's nanny to stay at their grandfather's house for a few days.
Tell Grandpa and the others that they will call home when they arrive.
"Why didn't you say so earlier? I still have so many things to pack." Grandma was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening and became extremely excited.
"We still need to ask for leave from work. Grandma, you can pack slowly. I've packed the two little ones' things."
"We'll come to your house to take care of you in a bit, no rush." Suti looked at her grandmother and knew she must miss her grandfather.
No matter how busy I am, even if I live in the office, I rarely go home for a week.
But she knew they were there, and things were different now; her grandmother must be homesick.
Su mentioned that she had taken leave from work and was waiting for Baichuan to pick her up.
When I asked for leave, I saw Zhu Qingling, whom I hadn't spoken to in a long time, and greeted her politely as usual.
Her mind was in turmoil, but she wouldn't let anyone see a trace of it on her face.
Since Meng Yixuan's incident, she has rarely gotten together with Zhu Qingling and the others.
Not only her, but many people in the company were afraid to interact with the people in their office.
At first, Suti tried to put on an act, but as soon as her colleagues saw her approaching, they pulled her away.
She watched as Zhu Qingling and the others pretended to be helpless, and eventually everyone got used to it.
The few people in Zhu Qingling's office now keep to themselves, and they always sit in a corner when they come to the cafeteria.
Suti knew this had nothing to do with them, but the people at work didn't think so.
They all believed that one is influenced by one's company, and that they must have known about Meng Yixuan's behavior.
Their reform department has ruined its reputation, and the person involved, Meng Yixuan, has already been arrested. They have no choice but to vent their anger on the people in the same office.
Zhu Qingling and the others felt truly wronged. Just a while ago, everyone was praising them, but now they're practically being condemned by everyone.
Who did they offend? The same people who praise them and the same people who criticize them; for better or for worse, they are the ones who passively endure it all.
They're still feeling wronged. Has anyone asked for their opinions? But no one is willing to listen to their grievances.
Now, not only Suti, but several people in the office also dislike each other.
They all felt it was Zhu Qingling's fault; if she hadn't ostracized Meng Yixuan in the first place, she wouldn't have gone astray.
Zhu Qingling felt that they were talking without understanding the situation, and that if they had stood firmly behind Su Ti when the incident happened back then.
Now, people still look at them with more respect because it was all their bad ideas—that they should stay out of it and miss the best opportunity.
Now everyone thinks they're with Meng Yixuan, but they're clearly not with anyone.
And then there's Suti. Several times they tried to talk to her, but before Suti could say anything, she was pulled away by those people.
They didn't even have a chance to speak after that. Zhu Qingling saw through the ugliness of human nature and didn't want to stay there at all.
But nowadays, a permanent job is so hard to come by, and her family doesn't have the means to easily find her another one.
Furthermore, her reputation is inexplicably bad now; the blind date she had with someone else also fell through.
When his family heard about this, they also felt that she and Meng Yixuan shared an office and were the same kind of people.
They were almost engaged, but now things have turned out like this. Zhu Qingling is feeling lost every day.
"Su Ti, you're here to ask for leave too?" Zhu Qingling was also here to ask for leave today; she was going on a blind date.
She really hoped this would work out; once she got married, she could be transferred.
She really didn't want to see other people's strange looks anymore.
