Just like children, adults also like to compare themselves to each other.
After becoming friends with Mrs. Tong, Sun Lifang discovered that the other woman was a very "naive" person.
There's a reason why Mrs. Tong can't lose weight.
Whenever Tong Guichun went to buy goods, if he saw cookies, imported pastries, or anything like that, and found them to be tasty, he would ask his workers to take them home.
Or you can just carry it back yourself in a big plastic bag.
Every time Sun Lifang went to pick up her daughter, she would often see Tong Guichun carrying two large red bags of seafood, the kind used at the vegetable market, carrying them home.
When he saw Sun Lifang or bumped into Zhou Xinya, he would take out a tin can from his bag and hand it to her, saying, "Here, take it home and eat it."
Zhou Xinya sometimes goes out to play, but she has to go home after running around for a short while.
She had to put the things Uncle Tong gave her back at home before she could go out and play with peace of mind.
It's always different, which means that whenever Mrs. Tong sees Sun Lifang, she can't help but laugh and sigh, "How come you haven't gained weight yet?"
"The good stuff my husband Tong gave you, plus what I brought you, you can't let me be the only one who gets fat, right?"
Mrs. Tong is a complete husband-bragging fanatic; her house is like a convenience store, fully equipped, to the point that Zhou Xinya ran back from her house saying—
"Beibei's family is really going too far."
They set up two special shelves for snacks, with a wider selection than the convenience store downstairs, including gummy candies, chocolate sandwich cookies, preserved plums, candied fruit, milk chips, and more.
Even more extravagantly, Mrs. Tong also got more than a dozen open glass boxes to store candied fruits and sweets, so that her daughter could experience the joy of shopping at home.
Why do we have to do this?
Mrs. Tong said her daughter was too short, and when she went to the supermarket to weigh things, she had difficulty raising her arm.
So, they simply lowered the height of the glass cabinet at home.
If you can't change yourself, change your environment.
The all-powerful "money power" is also easy for Mrs. Tong—
They're in the marketing business; they don't need to spend much money on these tools and snacks.
"It's mainly about the heart."
Mrs. Tong boasted to Sun Lifang, "I just mentioned it briefly, and guess what?"
"What's up?" Sun Lifang chimed in, playing the straight man.
Mrs. Tong said happily, "My husband had someone come and install it at our house in just two days. Don't you think he's meticulous?"
In Mrs. Tong's eyes, Tong Guichun was perfect. Besides the saying "beauty is in the eye of the beholder," it was also because he was always responsive to her needs.
When it comes to spoiling her daughter, Mrs. Tong can only talk about it.
In reality, it was Tong Guichun who spent the money on procurement and put in the effort.
Tong Beibei lived a carefree and happy life in the greenhouse created for her by her parents.
It was for this reason that Mrs. Tong decided to have a second child with Tong Guichun.
She said this secretly to Sun Lifang, "Considering how good he is to Beibei, we can consider having a second child for him."
"A second child?" Sun Lifang looked at Mrs. Tong's still-unrecovered figure. "Didn't you say you wanted to lose weight?"
Just like everyone who swears to their best friend that they won't change their name until they lose 20 pounds, Mrs. Tong shouted a slogan to Sun Lifang, "You supervise me, I will definitely not buy new clothes until I lose weight."
With the change of seasons, Mrs. Tong suppressed her urge to buy new clothes.
But before they could talk for long, Tong Beibei caught a bad cold because of the changing seasons.
With the weather fluctuating between hot and cold, the child would kick off the covers at night, so Mrs. Tong would stay by her daughter's side, feeding and caring for her.
Tong Beibei has a cold and can't taste anything, so she doesn't want to eat. What should we do if she doesn't eat?
The rest, of course, all ended up in Mrs. Tong's stomach.
The weight loss plan has come to an end.
Sun Lifang jokingly told Mrs. Tong, "Now you can rest assured and start preparing for pregnancy."
Now is the perfect time to start trying to conceive. Try for two or three months, and the baby will be born just like springtime.
The weather is neither hot nor cold; when the child starts elementary school, he will be half a year older than others.
It's better to be fully developed so you don't suffer any disadvantages.
Children born at the end of the year are at a disadvantage. Zhou Xinya is a case in point; she has to compete in studies with older children, which is too tough for her.
Therefore, in this life, Sun Lifang allowed her daughter to start school a year later.
Private schools can be attended by paying money, but Zhou Xinya has never even attended kindergarten.
Without a smooth transition, it will definitely be very difficult for my daughter to get into first grade, especially since she has just arrived in Shanghai and is in an unfamiliar environment.
Mrs. Tong would boast about her husband to Sun Lifang, and once she did, she would keep bringing up her husband.
In order to get Mrs. Tong to stop, Sun Lifang also mentioned Zhou Yunshi's good points.
We can't let ourselves be outdone.
"Oh my, I didn't realize that." Mrs. Tong was drawn to Sun Lifang's topic, and the conversation about her best friend bragging about her husband veered off to other topics.
Aside from the two of them, no one else would bring it up.
But Sun Lifang never expected to encounter something like this today.
In order to smooth things over, he brought up this history of "bragging about her husband," hoping to break Mrs. Tong's composure and liven up the atmosphere.
The atmosphere is heating up, but what about myself?
At the dining table, Tong Guichun was feeding his daughter alongside his wife.
Mrs. Tong was also a chatterbox. When she was in a good mood, she would join their conversation and talk even more than the men.
Even more outrageous, she even shielded Tong Guichun from drinking, saying, "My husband can't drink, didn't you hear what Lifang just said?"
"We are planning to conceive."
As long as you speak quickly, no one can stop you.
Instead, Mrs. Tong urged Zhou Yunshi to drink, saying, "Come on, let the birthday boy drink this cup."
"No way." Seeing others taking the drinks for others, Sun Lifang naturally couldn't stand by and watch Zhou Yunshi be bullied.
"We can't drink anymore either."
"Why not?" Mrs. Tong deliberately winked and slowed her speech. "Are you also trying to conceive?"
Sun Lifang: "......."
Compared to a woman like Mrs. Tong, her skills are far too shallow.
