“That’s too far off, I haven’t even thought about it, but I definitely can’t let Grandpa take care of the child. He’ll only raise the child to be a tyrant.”
"Hehe, that's right, Old Master Gu is really protective of his own."
“Hongmei, I was planning to wait until Ningning is five or six years old before returning to China. Could you help Ningning think of some future options here?”
"Is Aunt Wang planning to leave Ningning an inheritance?"
"Yes, I'll start preparing for him now. After all, I'm getting old. I don't know if I'll still be alive when he comes of age. I'll start preparing for him while I can still move around. Besides, I have some money. But I always feel that leaving him things is worse than leaving him money."
"Yes, you're thinking too far ahead."
“It won’t work if it’s not far. I’m fifty-one years older than him. Even if I live to see him come of age, by then I won’t be able to move around anymore.”
"I need to think about it. Aunt Wang, are you planning to stay in China until he grows up? Or are you just going to stay for a year or two?"
"It's only a year. After all, this place is more developed than China now, and the education is better. I don't want to delay my child's development."
"In that case, I think you should allocate 60% of your money to buy land, right in the city. It's not about farms or ranches, but the area is developing rapidly, and the land in the city will appreciate in value very quickly."
You two don't need to worry about running the business; you can just buy the land and leave it there.
With the remaining money, you can use 30% to start a clothing company. If the market here is too competitive, you can expand overseas.
"Just leave it to our trading company; you don't need to worry about it too much."
Wang Xinyi had absolute faith in Zhang Hongmei; whatever she said, she did.
"Let's do it your way. Where should we buy the land?"
Are you going to tell Uncle Zhao?
"Of course we have to let him know."
“In that case, let Uncle Zhao choose the land. He can also go to the service company to ask. I saw a few plots there. I’ve already notified Zhao Haozheng to make a purchase.”
"Okay, I'll have your Uncle Zhao get this sorted out as soon as he gets back. What about the garment factory?"
"You can leave the construction to Uncle Zhao. With him in charge, there will be absolutely no problems."
"Okay, I understand. I'll talk to him when I get back. If it doesn't work out, we can just export it overseas. That would be easier, as long as I don't lose money."
Hongmei, I still have a lot of things in China. Could you help me pack them up? It'll be several years before I go back.
"Are you hiding well?"
"It's right in my yard, it should be very secluded."
"So, do you want me to sell the things? Or hide them?"
"Hide it, I won't be willing to sell it."
"Then I'll move it to where I belong, you have a record of that, right?"
Wang Xinyi nodded, "Yes, I have them. I'll make you a copy when I have the chance."
“You should copy it now. I sent my friend back to our country and asked him to take it back with him. Please help me put the things away, Brother Zhang.”
"OK."
Wang Xinyi retrieved the records she had kept herself. She then compiled a list of the remaining items in the house and handed it over to Zhang Hongmei.
At this moment, Ningning woke up. She was a little over three months old, with a chubby face and a cute appearance.
The child can recognize people now, and besides Wang Xinyi, her favorite person is Zhang Hongmei. Zhao Tiancheng and his son have to come after her.
Wang Xinyi has no more breast milk, so now she only drinks formula and rice cereal. Although it's a bit early to introduce complementary foods to a baby, he doesn't like formula, so that's how it is.
After finishing her milk, Zhang Hongmei took Wang Zining and held her in her arms. "Ningning, grow up quickly." Little Wang Zining grinned, revealing a toothless smile.
When Annie woke up, Ningning was asleep again. "Grandma Wang, why can Ningning sleep so much?"
"Hehe, children need to sleep a lot to grow up. Doesn't Annie want Ningning to grow up quickly?"
"Yeah, but he sleeps all day! How can he sleep like that?"
Wang Xinyi was already immune to Annie's daily complaints about not being able to play with Ningning.
"Grandma Wang, why is he wearing such a cotton-padded coat?"
"Because he's still young. Do you like it this way? Grandma Wang will make one for you."
"Would I look good wearing this out?"
"I have another piece of red cloth here. It will definitely look beautiful when it's made."
"Okay, okay! As long as it looks good, that's fine."
Zhang Hongmei was also impressed by Annie's love of beauty. She was already seven years old and so beautiful. She would be amazing when she grew up.
When Zeng Zhongkang and the others returned in the evening, Cheng Guangxu saw Zhang Hongmei and ran over to her, saying, "Hongmei, we can drive now! It's true, we took turns driving back this time."
"Congratulations! You can drive yourself from now on."
"Hehe, I think I'm really capable!"
Annie, sitting to the side, immediately complained, "Uncle Cheng, aren't you too narcissistic?" This was something her mother had just said to her, and it's perfectly fine to use it to criticize others.
“How could that be? I really think so. I don’t have high expectations for myself; I’m already very satisfied if I can learn it.” Cheng Guangxi explained to Annie as he sat down next to her.
Zhao Haozheng and his son have not returned yet. He is extremely busy right now. It's the end of the year, and all the accounts need to be settled. He's so busy he barely has time to breathe.
Zhao Tiancheng is in the same boat. He hired another accountant this year, and things are looking alright on paper, but he's currently busy taking inventory. He's also working long hours every day.
Miao Xinyue's voice, along with a male voice, echoed in the courtyard.
It turned out that Yan Yongxi and Han Guangtai had come together.
"Where are they? Didn't they come with us?"
Zhao Yuetong shook her head. "They've all gone back to school. It was Yan Yongxi and his friend who needed to talk to you."
Han Guangtai sat down and looked at Zhang Hongmei. "Could you help us find jobs in a machinery factory? We both work for the Ministry of Industry and have some knowledge of machinery. The knowledge we learned in school is not applicable to trading companies."
Yan Yongxi nodded. "Yes, Zhang Hongmei, I think it would be better if we both found jobs in a machine factory, as workshop workers. That way we can put what we've learned into practice."
"I'm sorry. I overlooked that. You two sit down, I'll make a phone call."
After Zhang Hongmei finished speaking, she dialed Wyattroy's number. He was also extremely busy and hadn't finished get off work yet, so she managed to find him.
"It's me, Zhang Hongmei. Um, I need your help with something."
Yes, I have two fellow villagers who are studying industrial machinery. Okay, I understand.
I'm going to school the day after tomorrow. You'll have to work overtime yourself! I'll just wait for what's ready.
Okay. Anytime is fine.
Zhang Hongmei put down the phone and looked at the two people looking at her. "You can go to the machinery factory, the one that produces combine harvesters. But the holiday is coming soon, so it won't make any sense for you to go. But you can work there every Saturday and Sunday from now on."
