My younger siblings and I don't get to meet up with them very often, but the few times we do meet, it's always something unpleasant.
The first time Li Hanchen saw Su Jingjing was at the old house. Her every move made Li Hanchen feel that she was not good enough for A Ting.
Unfortunately, the other party was pregnant, so even the mother gritted her teeth and swallowed the bitter pill.
However, my sister-in-law has indeed changed a lot during this time, and the atmosphere at home has become much more lively. Even Ah Ting has fallen in love.
Ah Ting has a rather cold personality and doesn't like women getting close to him. We once thought he would be single forever, but now that he has found happiness, his family is very happy for him.
"Your sister-in-law's personality has changed a lot; you can spend more time with her."
“Yes.” Ouyang Qian understood this principle, of course.
Since the other party is willing to befriend her, she will no longer hold a grudge about what happened before.
Li Hanchen knew that he had gone too far last night, and if it happened again, his wife's body might not be able to handle it. So tonight he was especially well-behaved and dared not cross his wife's bottom line.
These past two days, the Li family has gotten along quite well, with a lively atmosphere and no conflicts.
An'an and Yuanyuan are practically everyone's darlings.
Su Jingjing was always worried that her two children would become spoiled and arrogant.
Due to an urgent matter at work, Li Hanchen took his wife back to the city at noon.
After watching Han Chen leave, Chen Shufang turned around and looked at Jingjing's back, then called out to her.
"Jingjing, come here for a second, Mom wants to talk to you."
Su Jingjing was surprised and subconsciously looked into A Ting's eyes.
Li Hanting frowned slightly and secretly squeezed his wife's palm to reassure her.
"Mom, Jingjing, she..."
Misunderstood, Chen Shufang quickly spoke up, "Don't worry, Mom isn't trying to cause trouble for Jingjing."
She didn't know whether to be happy or sad that the brat was protecting Jingjing so much.
Su Jingjing tugged at her husband's arm and whispered, "Mom just wanted to chat with me. You go and take care of the two children."
Before you know it, the two little ones are playing somewhere again.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went to a corner of the yard, and Chen Shufang patted the seat next to her, "Sit down."
Su Jingjing then sat down and waited for her mother-in-law to speak.
"Jingjing, Mom won't be taking you for walks anymore. Didn't you want to find a job before?"
“An’an and Yuanyuan go to school during the day now, and you have time to do your own things. Do you want me to find someone to let you teach at the elementary school next door?”
Su Jingjing was stunned. Why was she being introduced to a job out of the blue?
Suddenly, she remembered that the original owner had always wanted Ah Ting to help her find a job. Of course, she didn't really want a job; she just wanted to show off in the family compound.
But now she is Su Jingjing, and she has her own life plans.
Should we reveal her part-time job translating manuscripts?
This is such an absurd thing, how could anyone believe it?
"Mom, thank you for your kindness. I'm busy with things right now, and I'm having a pretty fulfilling day."
Chen Shufang didn't insist, "Okay, we'll talk to Mom when we need this job."
Everyone has a right to privacy, and she didn't pry into what Jingjing was busy with.
Pointing to Han Ting not far away, she winked at Jingjing, "Go quickly, Han Ting is waiting."
This kid is so afraid of being wronged by Jingjing that he just stood there without moving.
Su Jingjing subconsciously looked in the direction her mother-in-law was pointing. Had A-Ting been standing there the whole time?
She got up, nodded to her mother-in-law, and walked towards Ah Ting.
Before she even reached Ah Ting's side, he reached out his hand, and their fingers intertwined.
"Honey, what did Mom say to you?"
The distance was a bit far, and Li Hanting didn't hear clearly, but the two of them looked calm, so they probably didn't have a conflict.
Su Jingjing raised her bright eyes and looked at A Ting. "Mom wants me to become a teacher at the elementary school next door, but I refused."
"This job is great, but I might not be a good fit for it."
Do you want to work?
Li Hanting wanted his young wife to depend on him, but he knew that Jingjing was more independent.
Su Jingjing hesitated for a moment, pursing her lips, before slowly opening them, "A-Ting, I want to go to university."
She knew the importance of education, and since she had a second chance, why not make up for the regrets of her past life?
Li Hanting's deep eyes narrowed; he had never heard his wife mention these things before.
He gently pulled his wife into his arms, saying, "Honey, whatever decision you make, I will support you."
Aren't you surprised?
Su Jingjing raised her innocent eyes; A Ting's reaction was far too calm.
After all, given the original owner's educational level, getting into university was not an easy task.
"Silly wife, I have complete faith in you."
Li Hanting smiled, picked up his hand and stroked his little wife's head, his face full of doting affection.
Perhaps this is the trust between lovers; no need for much explanation, a glance or a word is enough to understand each other.
"Mom and Dad, come quick!"
Not far away, you could hear Yuanyuan's cheerful little voice as she rolled up her sleeves and started tending to the flowers in the garden, with An'an following her around as her little assistant.
Su Jingjing's brow twitched. She didn't know whether to be gratified or worried. Yuanyuan's personality was becoming more and more cheerful. The original quiet little girl was turning into a mud monkey. The key was that her parents-in-law also spoiled her.
The mother-in-law cherishes the flowers in the garden very much and takes care of them herself every day. Even her sister-in-law would be scolded if she went in casually. As for Yuanyuan's behavior, the mother-in-law just smiled and said, "As long as my dear granddaughter is happy, I don't care if the garden is torn down, let alone the flowers."
Su Jingjing was helpless against her mother-in-law's boundless doting, but it was comforting that the little one did not take advantage of the pampering and remained well-behaved and sensible.
The little one called out again in his sweet, baby voice, and Su Jingjing quickly responded.
"Your little princess has been summoned."
The man tightened his grip on her waist, leaned down and whispered in her ear, "Wife, you are my little princess."
At that moment, she felt both sweet and shy. She raised her sparkling eyes to look at Ah Ting and smiled dreamily.
"Let's go."
At 5 p.m., they drove home to their family compound.
A few days later, summer vacation was just around the corner.
With her two children on holiday at home, Su Jingjing spends most of her time with them, leaving her with much less time for translating manuscripts.
Summer vacation is quite long, and Su Jingjing wanted to take her two children to the city to buy some books to cultivate their interest in reading. It was also her first time being a mother, and she was going by gut feeling.
"Honey, how about we buy a TV?"
Li Hanting voiced his thoughts: buying a TV would also help his wife relieve boredom.
"OK."
Although she wasn't enthusiastic about television, it seems that in the 1980s, television and radio were the only forms of entertainment available.
Not only is a television expensive, but tickets are also hard to find, making it unaffordable for ordinary families.
