The little one was fast asleep from exhaustion, while the couple sat on either side of her with serious expressions, watching her intently.
Jian Dan was quite confused, but she didn't know what to say. These days, her child had been in her sight for almost the entire time, so naturally, she and her parents would be the first to notice any changes.
Parents love their children and naturally want everything to be well for them; they are no exception.
Given the current situation of the Qin and Cheng families, it's clear that the little one will be the focus of everyone's attention.
Although neither family is extremely wealthy, they are both well-established families. Jian Dan is a hidden rich woman. With the businesses Jian Zhong owns, plus the protection of her uncle Xi Ping'an, it can be said that the little one was born at the very top of the ivory tower. It's just that the current situation restricts her; otherwise, she would have the right to be a playboy who amuses others and acts recklessly.
Right now, aside from matters of principle, Jian Dan and Qin Qinghuai haven't really provided her with much education.
Qin Qinghuai is a complete doting father to his daughter, and the child is indeed very young; she's already started kindergarten, hasn't she?
As for simplicity, she knew that if things followed the trajectory of official history, this chaotic situation would not last long, at most three to five years. With the current progress in infrastructure construction on the border and the gradually emerging influence, plus the large project they had already started—the power plant—once these years have passed, the chaos will be rectified, the college entrance examination will be restored, and then this place will inevitably appear in the open.
The Qin and Cheng families, the county committee led by Xi Ping'an, Qin Qingjiang, and many others who are working hard here—regardless of whether they get promoted, their contributions are undeniable. In fact, her wish to stay here might not even be fulfilled.
However, it must be admitted that it was indeed a good time. Whether it was the college entrance examination, joining the army, entering politics, or the business propelled by the reform and opening-up policy, all the current assets are the foundation for the little one's future growth, determining whether the little one will start from scratch or stand on the shoulders of giants.
Judging from the little boy's age, when the reform and opening-up policy began, he should have been a spirited teenager. I can even imagine how rebellious he would have been, full of curiosity and a desire to explore everything new and unknown.
What she's thinking now is that when the reform and opening up arrives, opportunities will be everywhere. No matter what she does, with so many role models in the family, her little one can't possibly become a spendthrift who only knows how to play all day. She doesn't have such a stubborn idea about what her child should do, so her current education of her little one is all about correcting her attitude towards life.
No matter what you do, you must not be wicked, you must be wary of others, and you must have the ability to protect yourself.
Sometimes she thinks she will be an understanding mother, or a middle-aged woman who fights wits with an unfilial son.
Just yesterday, when she went to the kindergarten to apologize to the parents, she was thinking, with this troublemaking nature, how many peaceful days will she have in the future?
But who could have imagined this? Just one trip up the mountain, and suddenly it's like he's grown up? Become more sensible?
Not only were the rabbits the most obedient, but I also gave them a long lecture on raising rabbits, feeding rabbits, exchanging them for money, and eating them.
My parents work very hard.
Then she jumped to herself, saying that she was sensible and would no longer be naughty with her classmates or cause trouble to make her mother angry. She would also go to other people's houses to apologize and not let her parents worry. The three-year-old's ability to express herself was limited, so she spoke intermittently and somewhat incoherently, but it still shocked the couple.
Parents all have this experience: if a child who is usually naughty and mischievous suddenly starts to be considerate of their parents, and suddenly becomes sensible and well-behaved, it is a shock, a feeling of unease, and strangeness for the parents.
Isn't it said that if a child is quiet, they must be up to no good?
A simple frown and a moment of recollection suggest that it's like a naughty child suddenly becoming quiet—either they're being mischievous or they're sick!
It's said that people shouldn't let their minds wander, but look, once you start thinking, you don't know where your thoughts will go.
This idea was whimsical, and she didn't know where it came from, but once it appeared, it began to take root and sprout in her simple mind, spreading to every corner and crevice, making her feel uneasy.
"What's wrong?"
Qin Qinghuai was startled when she suddenly sat up straight.
Are you feeling unwell?
I simply stared at the child as he blew another bubble, hesitant to reach out.
"Is she sick?"
Qin Qinghuai was taken aback, then could only laugh helplessly.
"No, she's perfectly fine. What are you thinking?"
Why are you still having these wild thoughts now that your child is old enough to understand?
He breathed a sigh of relief, and also found his own thoughts somewhat ridiculous.
"Just now, I was thinking about this and I don't know where my mind went. Then I started to worry about the sudden changes in my child. I started to scare myself more and more. I started to have all sorts of wild thoughts."
Why! "
She leaned back slightly,
"They say you don't know the gratitude you owe your parents until you raise a child yourself. I think I know now. I'm not talking about any great debt of gratitude, but just this worry. Ever since I had her, I'm worried when she's far away, I'm worried when she's not by my side. I can't eat or sleep well, I'm anxious. If she has a headache or fever, it goes without saying. I feel more worried than if she were here myself."
I feel like I'm already pretty carefree, but you think they're like Ya-jun and her husband? Aren't they more meticulous and more tired than us?"
