His mother was old-fashioned and took care of children in the old-fashioned way. Cheng Qingsong was worried about his daughter, and his wife was away at university, so he could only stay at home to take care of his daughter, farm, and do odd jobs to earn a little money.
There are few opportunities to make money in that remote Northeast region, and the winters are cold. Even if he wanted to make a lot of money, he wouldn't have the chance. He couldn't just abandon his daughter, could he?
He's a stay-at-home dad taking care of his daughter, while his wife got into the best university. It would be a lie to say he's not anxious. He's also afraid that the gap between him and his wife will widen, that his wife will have other ideas, and that their happy family will fall apart.
Now that his daughter is healthy, his biggest worry is gone. He has come to Beijing to work hard with his wife. Even though his current job is not respectable and there is still a gap between him and his wife, he is not worried.
He should earn more money, give it to his wife, and help her grow up quickly so she can start another business. Once he's made a lot of money and has employees, he can always support his wife.
The couple drank and chatted happily, dreaming about their bright future. They agreed that they would bring their daughter to Beijing next year.
“Let’s buy our daughter a house,” Cheng Qingsong suggested.
Zhang Ying was stunned for a while. There was a reason why she was attracted to this man. Cheng Qingsong was from the countryside, but he was not narrow-minded or ignorant. He loved his wife and was good to his daughter. He never tried to persuade her to have a son to carry on the family line just because she had a daughter.
"Are you willing to buy a house for our daughter?" Zhang Ying asked.
“What’s there to be reluctant about? We only have one daughter. If you don’t want to have a second child, we won’t. We’ll follow the country’s family planning policy,” Cheng Qingsong explained to her seriously. “Honey, haven’t you noticed that people in Beijing are less likely to have children than people in our rural area? That’s why this place is rich. Nowadays, people in big cities only have one child per family, which I think is great. We came to Beijing to work hard, but we don’t have a car or a house. Our child is not healthy and has no one to rely on. She’ll easily be bullied by the groom’s family in the future. We’ll work harder and when we have money, we’ll buy our daughter a house as her dowry.”
Zhang Ying was quite relieved. At least this man wouldn't hold her back. "Chu Yu said there's no rush to buy a house. The government is going to loosen up the real estate market, and everyone will be able to live in commercial housing in the future."
Chu Yu is well-informed and has expanded his business to Hong Kong. He must have access to information about wealthy people.
Cheng Qingsong nodded, "Then let's wait a few years before buying it, and bring our daughter to Beijing first."
