Chapter 16 Sixteen V Announcement
The collapse of a company does not happen suddenly, but the precursors usually start with internal decline.
When Song Fenglin went back to work after his birthday, he found that the world had changed.
Originally he was responsible for all technical matters, but now everyone wants to get involved.
Mr. Zhang asked in the morning and Mr. He asked in the afternoon.
He was so annoyed that he hired an intern to write a daily report.
That’s just the beginning.
The Empress of the East Palace and the Empress of the West Palace are at war with each other, and no one can escape this vortex.
Song Fenglin worked overtime until the early morning for several days in a row. When he got home, he felt dizzy and fell asleep immediately.
Being so tired, Chen Yun thought of letting him sleep a little longer and sending the children to school herself.
While her two children were entering kindergarten, she was still chatting with other parents at the door, reluctant to leave.
The topic was not gossip, but the recent hot topic of kindergarten to primary school.
Parent A: "Qiqi's mom has connections. She can get her child into the attached primary school for 300,000 yuan."
Parent B: "Haoyu is too lively and he definitely can't stand the strict rules and regulations of a public school. He will go abroad sooner or later anyway, so he might as well go to an international school."
Parent C: "We used to rely on ourselves to help our children study. If they can study, then they can study. If they can't study, don't put too much pressure on them."
…
Whoever says it is right is right. After all, every child and family’s situation is different.
Chen Yun still hopes that her daughter can attend the district experimental primary school. After all, it is in the first tier and is close to home.
However, the pressure of this wish does not fall on Chen Xingyue, but on her parents to bear the responsibility of buying a school district house.
But then again, owning a house is not a guaranteed thing.
Even Liu Yingxia heard a string of gossip downstairs, and asked her daughter while picking vegetables: "Can Xingxing be used in the experiment?"
Chen Yun knew that if she didn't promise, she would be worried and unable to sleep at night, so she said, "It's been three years since I bought the house and moved my household registration. There's no problem."
That's good. Liu Yingxia: "It's too hard for children to go to school now. Did you know that there are school district houses in Dongshan?"
Dongshan is a town, and Chen Yun's family is originally from a village under its jurisdiction.
However, she grew up in the Xinyao City area of her hometown, and her only memories of the countryside are during festivals and holidays.
She asked, "How much is one square meter?"
Liu Yingxia gestured with her hand: "Eight thousand."
Chen Yun remembered that the last time she went back to her hometown, she saw that the salary of employees in the milk tea shop in the town was around three to four thousand.
She asked, “Are there many people buying it?”
Liu Yingxia: "Even if they have money, people won't buy them. They would rather build their own."
Building houses is the obsession of the older generation, which Chen Yun actually can’t quite understand.
She has no deep affection for her hometown and is purely fulfilling her parents' wishes. However, she still feels sorry for the more than one million yuan when she thinks about it occasionally.
Since you spend money, you have to get value for money.
She said, "When summer vacation comes, you can take the children back to stay for a few days."
Liu Yingxia was delighted, but she still said, "Xingxing is not going to apply for the kindergarten-primary school transition program anymore?"
Chen Yun: "It's just half a month of playing. It won't delay your granddaughter's college entrance examination."
If you push them so hard at such a young age, it may not be a good thing when they grow up.
Liu Yingxia firmly believes that with the combination of 985 and 211 in her family, there will definitely be no cowards born.
She said, "Don't worry, I will definitely keep an eye on her while she studies and does her homework."
Chen Yun said with a smile: "Let her have fun."
Liu Yingxia: "What fun things can there be in the village? I just brought them back to show off my wealth."
The mental torture I suffered many years ago due to not having a son was resolved only because of the third generation.
No matter how outstanding Chen Yun is, the peak of her life seems to be when her child takes her surname.
She didn't really want to get involved in this topic, so she put the food aside and said, "I'm going to see how Xingxing's homework is going."
Chen Xingyue was playing with an eraser and keenly caught the sound of her mother's footsteps.
She reacted immediately like a cat whose tail was stepped on, pretending that she had been doing her homework seriously.
He kept staring at her, as if she were a criminal.
If you don't pay any more attention to this child, he will cause trouble for adults.
Chen Yun reluctantly pulled a chair over and sat next to her: "Where are you at?"
Chen Xingyue said obediently: "Half done."
How can it be half done? It is clear that I have just started writing.
Chen Yun tapped her fingers on the table: "Be serious."
If I have to describe it, Chen Xingyue is a spinning top that moves when the whip hits it.
With a magic needle beside her, she was as obedient as Sun Wukong who was pressed under the Five Finger Mountain, and finished all the math problems quickly.
After checking her, Chen Yun gave her a big tick and held her daughter's face with a kiss: "Great."
Chen Xingyue was very happy and snuggled in her mother's arms and acted coquettishly.
Children are the group that is least likely to keep secrets, and some of the information they exchange is more thorough than what their parents talk about at the kindergarten gate.
She is also a chatterbox and never stops talking.
Soon, Chen Yun had a complete grasp of the current situation of their class.
She prepared her daughter psychologically: "Xingxing, Mommy will tell you again, you will go to elementary school after summer vacation, and you will have new classmates then, okay?"
The thought of separation had planted a seed in Chen Xingyue's heart, but she actually had no clear idea about it. She just nodded obediently: "Okay."
Chen Yun was so calm that she even suspected that she was making a big deal out of nothing.
She raised her baby according to the book, and would search Baidu overnight if she saw the slightest sign of trouble.
Song Fenglin came back from get off work and saw that she was still watching videos. He asked, "Are you still awake so late?"
Chen Yun sat cross-legged on the bed, looked up at him for a while without saying anything.
The look of wanting to say something but stopping made Song Fenglin's sleepiness disappear.
He asked, "What happened?"
Chen Yun: "I wanted to ask you about your transition from kindergarten to primary school, but then I remembered that you didn't go to kindergarten."
Even if Song Fenglin had read it, he had completely forgotten it in the past twenty or thirty years.
He breathed a sigh of relief: "What happened to Xingxing?"
Chen Yun: "Experts say that 'the transition from kindergarten to primary school is the key point, and we need to help children adapt to the new environment.'"
Is this the key point? Song Fenglin: "Our Xingxing should be fine. She didn't cry much when she was in kindergarten."
Chen Yun: "Primary school is different. Teachers will pay attention to rules. If the mentality is not adjusted well in the first grade, it is easy to make children hate learning."
Song Fenglin was very positive when he was studying and treated exams as passing levels and defeating monsters.
He occasionally had a blind self-confidence, thinking that his daughter resembled her father to some extent, and said, "It shouldn't be that serious."
Chen Yun: "We must prepare for the worst."
Without immediate worries, she creates long-term concerns.
Song Fenglin: "Honestly, as long as she doesn't come back with a zero, I can accept it."
Oh my god, this is such a bad plan.
Chen Yun was just saying this, and she didn't think her daughter was a poor student.
She said, "I got all the math questions right last night."
Okay, that should ensure that you don’t get a zero score.
Song Fenglin: "Then it's okay."
Chen Yun considers herself to be a parent who is not too pushy, so she has to admit defeat when faced with his mentality.
She leaned back and said, "You are very generous."
Song Fenglin: "But I listen to you."
It doesn’t matter if everyone has different opinions, as long as he knows which side to stand on.
Having said that, I would feel a little embarrassed if I didn't ask him to do some work.
Chen Yun: "Pour me a glass of water. I'm so thirsty."
Song Fenglin went to the living room and visited the children's room to take a look at the child.
Chen Xingyue and Chen Xinyang still slept in their own way today, their bones were as light as those of the East Evil and West Poison.
Song Fenglin felt happy when he covered them with a quilt, thinking that as long as they grew up safely and happily, it didn't matter if they were ordinary.
Unfortunately, wishes are beautiful, but reality is often contrary to our wishes.
Song Fenglin had just made a wish the day before, and the next day his daughter fell in kindergarten.
Chen Xingyue ran too fast and scraped off a large piece of skin on her knee. She pressed her hands on the ground, and fine sand and gravel pressed into the wound.
The teacher was more nervous than the students, fearing that the parents would scold them. He sent a long list of explanations and even attached the surveillance video.
Chen Yun was actually shocked when she received the call, but after reading the whole story, she felt that it was not the teacher's responsibility, so she comforted her instead: "It's okay, children are bound to have bumps and bruises. The school doctor will give her some medicine. I'll ask someone to pick her up later." 】
She said it generously, but she still couldn't stop worrying. She opened the group message among the loving family: [Xingxing fell down at school, who was closest to her? 】
Normally, the one who would come back soon would be either her father or her mother, but today, surprisingly, it was Song Fenglin: [I'll be there soon]
His company is very close and it takes less than five minutes to get there if he runs fast. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to take his children to school.
Chen Yun privately messaged him: [Aren’t you busy? 】
Song Fenglin: [Nowadays, all the people in meetings argue about meaningless things, which are not important]
The people in his class are getting more annoying every day.
Chen Yun: [Then run quickly.] 】
Chen Yun: [The school doctor has already applied medicine to Xingxing. You can observe her. If she is still very energetic, it is purely an external injury and will not be a big problem. 】
Song Fenglin: [Okay. 】
Song Fenglin: [Are you still opening a new store? 】
Chen Yun came to the villa area in the newly opened district early in the morning to visit her friend who had just finished her confinement.
This place is a bit far from the city center, and she can't go back for a while: [Well, I guess I'll have lunch here at noon. Huihui's private chef~]
Song Fenglin: [Okay, go ahead and talk about gossip]
It sounds like they have nothing serious to do except gossip.
Chen Yun: [We care about our friends! 】
Song Fenglin could imagine how excited she was right now, and he sent a reply emoticon of his daughter making a heart shape with her hands.
These were all made by Chen Yun and are usually shared in the family group.
She put away her cell phone, walked into the room from the balcony, and naturally joined the conversation of the friends who had come with her.
They are all married people with families, and all they talk about are trivial matters.
One complains about her mother-in-law, another scolds her husband, and they say all the bad things about the world.
It doesn’t matter that Chen Yun doesn’t have this kind of trouble, she can still talk about the bitterness of running a store.
In this way, today's purpose becomes secondary.
Huihui, who had just given birth, laughed so hard that she fell forward and backward several times: "No, the incision will split."
One of my friends was pregnant with her first child and had a big belly. She held her lower back and looked worried: "Does it still hurt?"
Huihui: "This is a metaphor. You have no sense of humor!"
My friend squinted his eyes and said, "Do you think I can laugh?"
People are always afraid of the unknown. Chen Yun: "I may not give you a cesarean section, don't worry."
Friend: "I am now worried that if the pregnancy doesn't go out naturally, I will have to have a cesarean section. All the hard work I have gone through before will be in vain."
It is said that women will subconsciously forget the pain of childbirth. Sometimes Chen Yun can't even remember it unless she specifically mentions it.
She said, "It seems like when I gave birth to Yangyang."
No, what do you mean by as if?
Her friend helped her recall: "That's right. When I went to see you during your confinement, you scolded me for two hours."
Is this true? Chen Yun touched her belly and said, "My mind is blurred now. I can't remember anything. Do you know that?"
Huihui: "Don't mention you. I don't have any impression of it either."
She pointed upwards and said, "I just remember that the ceiling was covered in blood."
Friend: “Is it the same for VIPs giving birth?”
Huihui: "Meihe's VIP is also a regular delivery room, but the treatment for the ward and prenatal checkup is a little better."
This one is better, but not worth the huge expense for an average family.
Friend: "I can't afford the package. It depends on luck whether I can get a single room."
Chen Yun: "It will probably be difficult for you to have a baby in Renhe. Xingxing's mother gave birth to her third child last month, and she said she couldn't get a place."
It is really difficult to do anything in these famous obstetrics and gynecology hospitals in Ningjiang.
My friend got the point wrong: "Having three children requires a lot of money."
Chen Yun: "The top floor apartment in our community is at least Huihui's level."
Huihui: "What a coincidence, I've been looking at houses recently, and there's one in your Wanjiang Mansion."
She lowered her voice when she said this: "I really can't live in my parents' house anymore. My mother scolded me half to death when I was washing my hair the other day."
The elders are all the same. Chen Yun: "In the month before Xingxing was born, I argued with my mother about not breastfeeding."
She was at a critical stage of promotion at the time and planned to go back to work when her child was 100 days old. She was afraid of the trouble of weaning her baby at that time and thought of simply not breastfeeding.
This would have seemed like a fantasy to the previous generation.
Chen Yun took great pains to convince them, and also laid the foundation for family rules in which she would control the parenting policies.
Not to mention adults, even some of my peers may not accept it.
Huihui: "Didn't several people in our group share a box of Cabergoline? One of my sisters said she would definitely breastfeed. After feeding for more than a month, she said she had severe mastitis and was in so much pain that she was almost dying."
Stop talking, friend: "Speak something pregnant women can understand, my heart is beating fast now."
I almost forgot about her and everyone laughed and changed the subject.
Chen Yun's cell phone happened to ring, she looked down and found it was a photo.
Song Fenglin took his two children to eat ice cream cones. The three of them were all smiling brightly. PS: [I also asked for leave for Yangyang. Xingxing ate and drank well and didn’t feel any pain at all.]
Chen Yun: [I see.] 】
Song Fenglin: [We had Haidilao for lunch. Dad said he had a time-limited mission today so he couldn’t come. Mom said she was sweeping the floor at Puji Temple. We had vegetarian noodles for lunch.]
Chen Yun: [After they have eaten the ice cream cone, don’t let them eat too much watermelon from Haidilao, or their stomachs may not be able to handle it]
Song Fenglin: [Okay, after dinner we’ll go home and get our scooters. They want to go to the riverside to play.]
Chen Yun: [Chen Xingyue is really not afraid of pain because her scar hasn't healed yet. Let her go slower.]
Song Fenglin: [Okay, what time will you be back? 】
Why does it feel like he was laying the groundwork for this sentence? Chen Yun: [Go back after telling the gossip]
There was no time to finish talking, so we continued the conversation after lunch and everyone still felt like they had not said enough.
However, everyone was busy with other things, and when it was almost time to pick up their children, they all said goodbye.
Chen Yun left the latest and joked, "Those who leave late get better treatment, and they'll even be escorted to the door."
Huihui: "I'll give you one last piece of gossip."
What's going on? Why are you keeping it so secretive?
Chen Yun: “I’m all ears.”
Huihui: "Liu Yimin is addicted to online gambling and has been borrowing money from everywhere recently. If he comes to you, don't lend him money."
They were talking about a male classmate in college. Chen Yun hadn't talked to him about the department for a long time. She said, "I don't think he would come to me."
Huihui curled her lips and said, "When a gambler is desperate, he will try any possible means. What can't he do?"
Yes, Chen Yun sighed: "I remember that he used to be a poor student and studied very hard. Now he has become like this."
Huihui: "You might as well feel sorry for the five thousand dollars I wasted!"
She is not short of money, but that doesn't stop her from being angry.
Chen Yun patted her shoulder to comfort her and didn't take the matter too seriously.
However, she underestimated the gambler's shamelessness, and received a message from Liu Yimin asking for money the next day at work.
Chen Yun wanted to give herself a way out and politely declined: "There are six of us in the family and only one person works. We rely on credit cards to make ends meet every month."
Liu Yimin: [You can also use a credit card. I’ll pay the handling fee.]
Is this a handling fee thing? How can this person be so shameless? Chen Yun: [No, the cards are all my husband's, he knows he is going to curse]
Liu Yimin refused to give up easily and sent several messages in succession.
Chen Yun simply pretended not to see it, and thought about deleting the person after a couple of days.
Just as she was thinking this, the other party sent her a message: [Your husband treats you like this, do you regret not marrying Yuchen? 】
Chen Yun rolled her eyes and refused to allow this person to stay in her friend list for another two days.
She decisively blocked the customer, then put on a smiling face and said to him, "Hello, would you like to order now?"
After this one, there was the next one. After taking care of Chen Yun, she had time to complain to Huihui: [Is he sick? He even mentioned Hu Yuchen specifically]
Huihui: [What did I say? Gamblers have no bottom line! 】
Huihui: [But Hu Yuchen also lent him money, 100,000 yuan]
Chen Yun: How did you know? 】
Huihui: [I only knew Liu Yimin was a gambler because he posted on WeChat Moments]
So that's why. No wonder she had such a strange expression on her face that day.
Chen Yun: [Actually, I don’t mind my ex-boyfriend. It was ten years ago.]
She wasn't pretending to be generous, but she felt a little dazed when she suddenly saw this person's name, and that memory also emerged.
The thing that impressed me most was probably the final breakup.
Chen Yun asked him: "Do you love me?"
Hu Yuchen is a man, his eyes were red: "I love you."
Chen Yun was also upset and wiped away tears: "But you can't fulfill any of my wishes."
A simple picture flashed through his mind, and Chen Yun murmured, "It doesn't matter. Now it's all realized."
Xiaoxiao saw her mouth moving, but she didn't hear what she said, so she asked, "Sister, what did you say?"
Chen Yun came back to her senses: "It's okay."
She glanced at her watch and untied her hair: "It's time. I'll go pick up the kids."
At 4:30 in the afternoon, the entrance of the kindergarten was as busy as a vegetable market.
Chen Yun was chatting with a familiar parent, and the topic soon turned to the transition from kindergarten to primary school.
Someone said: "The list will be out on Saturday. I've been very nervous these past two days."
Their family has only been settled here for a short time and they are afraid that they will be squeezed out by the large number of people who have registered this year.
The long settlement time is also scary. Chen Yun: "My mother has been working as a volunteer at Puji Temple these days, so she is here to help."
The people sitting in a circle had all received higher education, and about a decade ago they also scoffed at feudal superstition.
After becoming a parent, I feel that I can try any method that won’t harm my children, even if I know it’s just for psychological comfort.
Someone immediately responded: "I'll go there tomorrow too."
Everyone started talking at once, just like they were on a spring outing during their school days.
Chen Yun was so engrossed in the conversation that she didn't notice her son jumping up and down.
Chen Xinyang shouted "Mom" at the top of his lungs, but was drowned out by the screams of other children.
It was only then that Chen Yun noticed the passage of time and looked back to find out.
Chen Xinyang was so aggrieved that he almost cried and threw himself into his mother's arms: "You ignored me!"
Chen Yun picked up the boy and his schoolbag together: "Mom thought your class would be late. I'm sorry, baby."
Chen Xinyang was also easy to coax, sniffing: "Don't do this next time."
Chen Yun's heart almost melted, and she said in a gentle voice: "Thank you, honey, do you want to go buy sausages together after school?"
The dismissal time for small classes and large classes is different, with a twenty-minute gap between them.
Originally, Chen Xinyang could have played in school while waiting, but then he would be the last one left in the class.
Just imagine how sad the child would be.
Chen Yunke couldn't bear to leave, so she usually picked him up first, and the mother and son waited outside together.
After waiting for a long time, Chen Xinyang made a plan for this period of time.
He first greeted and said goodbye to every classmate who passed by. When most people had left, he found a shade under a tree and squatted to watch the ants. Occasionally he would catch a few insects and was as happy as if he had won the lottery.
When Chen Yunguang looked at them, he felt as if they were crawling on his body, and he got goose bumps.
But she didn't dare let her son out of her sight, so she had to grit her teeth and bear it.
Fortunately, Chen Xingyue finished school soon.
She ran towards her mother and brother, her braids swinging, like a little cannonball.
When Chen Yun caught her, she took a step back and said helplessly, "Slow down, baby, or you'll fall again."
Chen Xingyue laughed and announced loudly: "Mom, I'm starving!"
It's not that I'm starving, I just want to take the opportunity to buy some snacks.
Chen Yun knew what was going on in her mind, so she deliberately said, "Then let's go home quickly, grandma is cooking."
Chen Xingyue said seriously: "I might starve to death when I get home."
She didn't know where she learned this, but she dubbed herself with her tongue sticking out and her head tilted: "Ah, I'm dead."
Chen Yun pinched her face and said, "You can't talk like that in front of grandma, okay?"
In fact, children are the best at judging people and deciding what to do. Chen Xingyue half covered her mouth and said, "I know~"
They were so innocent and cute, Chen Yun's tone softened, "Very good, I'll buy you some grilled sausages today."
The two children jumped up and cheered at the same time, holding hands affectionately and walking forward.
It looks like today is their "honeymoon period".
