Without looking back, she took Su Qiangwen and Su Qiangwu's hands, turned into the corridor, and ran upstairs quickly as if she was running for her life.
Su Qiangwen and Su Qiangwu were shocked by her sudden action.
"Mom, what's wrong, Mom? Aren't we going home? The driver is waiting outside."
"Mom, I seem to hear some kids looking for their moms, did you hear that?"
Lan Linxiang quickly pulled the two boys tightly and tried to blend into the crowd going up the stairs together.
"I heard them. Maybe they ran around and got separated from their mother. So you have to be obedient and follow your mother. Otherwise, if you get separated from your mother, you have to find her."
"I understand, Mom."
"Be good." Lan Linxiang touched the two boys' heads and glanced towards the stairs. Seeing that Xiao Yutang and Xiao Yuzheng had not caught up for the time being, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Then continue to look for a place with more people.
She had finally left Xiao Shanhe, a man who had never achieved anything in his life, and started her rich and smooth life. All this could not be disrupted by Xiao Yutang and Xiao Yuzheng, two good-for-nothings.
In the future, one of Su Qiangwen and Su Qiangwu will be a Wall Street elite and the other a world-renowned doctor. In the future, one of Xiao Yutang and Xiao Yuzheng will become a murderer and the other will be so mentally dark that he will not even value his own life.
She knew clearly which two children had a promising future, and therefore she made her choice more clearly.
Of course, she would not be without any feelings for her own children, but she could not let them affect her life. She would find time to look for Eddie Xiao and Eddie Xiao later, but not now. The four children could not be allowed to meet each other now.
After all, even a mother would dislike her own child for being unsuccessful.
Xiao Yutang and Xiao Yu had just managed to run to the teacher's office building, but in the blink of an eye, their mother disappeared.
"Mom! Mom! I'm Zhengzheng! Mom!" Xiao Yuzheng shouted anxiously and continued to run forward anxiously.
With a "bang", the child tripped, fell forward, and bumped into someone.
"Zhengzheng!" Xiao Yutang was also anxious. Teacher Zhou said his mother was here, and he also saw it. He was so focused on running that he didn't pay attention to his younger brother. When he turned around, he saw that Xiao Yuzheng had bumped into someone, so he quickly ran back.
The person who was hit was holding a big bag of oranges. The plastic bag containing the oranges was broken and the oranges were scattered all over the ground.
Today is the busiest time of the day at school. People are coming and going on the campus, and there are also many people riding bicycles. Some oranges were kicked, some were picked up, and some were damaged by bicycles. The air is full of the fragrance of oranges.
Xiao Yuzheng couldn't see his mother anymore, and he fell hard, crying loudly in pain.
"Mama! Mama! Mama... woooooo! Mama!"
While Xiao Yutang was supporting Xiao Yuzheng, he was also shouting towards the teachers' office building.
"Mama! Mama! Mama!"
The person who was hit was very angry. He bought the oranges as a gift to his child's homeroom teacher, asking the teacher to take better care of his child during this semester. He never expected to be hit by this naughty kid who came out of nowhere.
"Whose child is this? He's so irritable! Why don't you take good care of the child? And you, child, how can you be so uneducated? Why are you crying? Call your parents!"
Xiao Yuzheng was already crying sadly. After all, he was only three years old. Now he was scolded like this and cried even harder.
"Wow wow wow! Mommy! Wow wow wow..."
Xiao Yutang was anxious and at a loss as Xiao Yu was lying on the ground crying and unable to get up.
He saw Lan Linxiang again. Lan Linxiang was walking out of the entrance of the classroom-office building, holding two boys of the same age as him.
The boy was wearing black leather shoes, a green and white striped long-sleeved sweater, and bright green corduroy overalls. He stood out next to Lan Linxiang, who was wearing a red skirt.
The three of them had their backs to them, but what child wouldn't recognize his own mother? Xiao Yutang recognized her at the first sight.
He just watched Lan Linxiang holding Su Qiangwen and Su Qiangwu's hands and getting into a private car without even looking back.
Xiao Yuzheng was crying so hard, I don’t know if he saw it or not, but he started calling for mom as soon as he opened his mouth, and the person who was hit was also very annoyed.
"I'm talking to you! Why are you still crying? Are you his brother? Call your parents over here! If you break someone's things, you have to pay for it! Call your parents over here!"
"Comrade, I'm sorry, my child is still young and can't walk steadily, he didn't do it on purpose, please don't bother with him, I'll compensate you, how much did these oranges cost? I'll compensate you! I'll compensate you double!"
Shen Huanxi came over, picked up Xiao Yuzheng who was crying loudly on the ground and apologized.
When the person who was hit saw that the child's mother was such a beautiful woman, who offered double compensation and whose voice was as sweet as a lark's, his anger immediately subsided by half.
"Watch out for your kid! I spent 1.3 yuan on these oranges. You don't have to pay me double. Just pay me the original price."
"No, that won't work. Our child has delayed your time. I'm sorry. Let me compensate you two dollars. Sorry, sorry." Shen Huanxi said as he took out two one-dollar bills from his pocket and stuffed them into the man's hand without saying anything.
The man was also delayed, so he did not refuse, took the money and left quickly.
Shen Huanxi put Xiao Yuzheng on the ground and checked the child's body without a word of blame.
"Zhengzheng, where did you fall? Does it hurt?"
After saying this, he found that the child was not injured, so he went to help him pick up his shoes that had fallen off and put them on him.
Xiao Yutang and Xiao Yuzheng were both wearing Jiefang shoes, which were made by a state-owned shoe factory. They were sturdy, but the soles had become slippery after being worn for a long time. Shen Huanxi thought that Xiao Yu fell because of this reason.
When Xiao Yuzheng first started crying it was because he was hurt from the fall, and later he cried even harder because he was scolded too harshly. Now, after being hugged by Shen Huanxi's sweet and soft arms and coaxed by her, his crying became a little quieter.
Chang'an Changning was also very concerned about Xiao Yuzheng.
"Brother, are you okay?"
Xiao Yuzheng shook his head, sobbed, and called "Mom" again.
Shen Huanxi is also a mother. She didn't care that she was a stepmother and held the child in her arms when she saw the pitiful look of the child.
"Mom is here, don't cry, Mom is here, Mom is here."
He patted the child on the back while speaking.
After all, Xiao Yuzheng is young and easy to coax, so he finally stopped crying.
Xiao Yutang stared at Shen Huanxi, then looked at the location of the teaching building and the teacher's office building. Obviously, the teacher's office building was closer to here...
"Where were you just now?" he asked.
"I'm registering and paying your fees there." Shen Huanxi pointed to the teaching building.
"Did you come here because you heard Zhengzheng crying?"
"Well, you can't take your brother to crowded places anymore. Come on, I'll take you to buy shoes and clothes. The soles of your shoes are worn out."
After Shen Huanxi finished speaking, he held Xiao Yuzheng with his left hand and Changning with his right hand, and asked the two older children, Changan and Xiao Yutang, to follow.
Xiao Yutang lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking, and said nothing more.
There is a street not far from the entrance of Taoyuan Experimental Elementary School with many clothing stores.
In this day and age, you don't need to look at the brand when buying clothes. Most of the products are made by former state-owned factories. Even though state-owned enterprises are undergoing restructuring and private factories are springing up like mushrooms after a rain, no one cuts corners when making products. They are all genuine high-quality products.
Shen Huanxi brought her four children into a children's clothing store and found the shoe shelf, where they saw several pairs of genuine leather shoes. All were made of high-quality cowhide. The cow tendon soles were soft and strong, and also had an anti-slip design.
The eight characters "Yunnan State-owned Leather Shoe Factory" are printed on the soles. The quality is excellent and the price is only four yuan a pair.
Shen Huanxi asked about the shoe sizes of the four children and asked the boss to take out the shoes and let the children try them on.
Xiao Yuzheng is the youngest and can't put on his shoes by himself, so she holds him and helps him put them on.
Xiao Yutang looked at the new shoes on his feet. They looked very familiar to him. He looked at Shen Huanxi.
"You stepmothers, do you all like to buy these little leather shoes for your stepsons?"
"Huh?" Shen Huanxi had just helped Xiao Yutang put on his shoes and was completely confused by Xiao Yutang's question.
"I'm a mother, it's normal for me to buy small leather shoes for my children. I bought shoes for you two brothers, as well as Chang'an and Changning. Why are you asking me this question?"
"Nothing." Xiao Yutang shook his head. "This is the first time Zhengzheng and I wear leather shoes. Thank you."
As he spoke, Xiao Yutang blushed and turned his head away.
"I will return the money for the shoes to you."
…
The household registration was transferred and the child's schooling was arranged. Shen was happy to think about her future. She couldn't always stay at home and rely on Xiao Shanhe's pension.
She didn't want to go back to her old ways and go into business.
In her last life, she made more money than many people could ever make in their entire lives before she was 30 years old.
Even though she was later schemed against by Su Chaoyang and her daughter and was forced out of the house, once she returned to the time before liberation, she could start from scratch again and eventually become the richest person in Yunnan City.
But what's the use?
She stood at the top of the pyramid in the business world and became a complete winner, but she lost her daughter.
Not only did they lose the mother-daughter relationship, but they also lost their young lives...
In this life, she wants to live differently.
She would have to make money, but she would no longer spend most of her time on business as she did in her previous life.
She was reborn in the 1980s, an era of rapid development and business opportunities everywhere, where there were opportunities to make money in every industry.
Even if she bought some land and hoarded it, or bought some stocks and kept them, she could become a rich woman in the future without any effort. Why should she spend all her time on business and ignore her children?
In this life, she will spend more time on Chang'an and Changning, and regard protecting and loving them as the most important thing in her life.
Moreover, in fact, she knew what she wanted to do in her life the moment she was reborn.
The next morning, after breakfast, she asked the children to play at home by themselves, packed up the various materials she had prepared and went out.
Pan Jianguo was on vacation and came to chat and drink tea with Xiao Shanhe. He met her as soon as his car drove outside Xiao's yard.
"Sister-in-law, where are you going so early in the morning?"
Shen was happy to see Pan Jianguo and thought he came at the right time.
