Chapter 8 chapter eight

To live comfortably, you don't need a lot of money. Zhang Jiajun's little inheritance is enough to support Qiqi and Yuyu. As Qiqi's mother, she will plan carefully to benefit her daughter. Chang Chun was reading the morning newspaper of the day when the phone rang. It was Feng Jiyu's voice: "Song Xiaoyu just left my house." She also heard good news. "I put a big stone in my heart, Spilling, you know I'm no better than you, and I don't have much. Her generosity has helped me a lot. Since she voluntarily abstained, I'm happy to accept it." Changchun smiled.

After going around countless times, he finally got justice. "Good night, Spilling." The sun must be much better starting tomorrow. The next day, Lin Haiqing asked Changchun, "Do you want someone to cut the ribbon for the new store?" Chang Chun smiled, there is no need to look for celebrities, "Let's ask Qiqi to officiate." Lin Haiqing was silent for a while, and suddenly suggested: "Ankang also has a share." Yes, how could I forget him, Changchun apologized very much, "Yes, Ankang and Qiqi." Hai Qing looked confused again: "Then, do you want Yuyu to come together?"

Changchun was in a dilemma, she wasn't stingy, it was just difficult to choose, "No need." "Maybe Kiki would like her sister to be there." Yuyu was indeed her sister. The most democratic way is to discuss with Kiki herself. Ankang heard this, and said quickly: "Qiqi's sister is here, and my sister is coming too. Baibai is my sister." Chang Chun still couldn't pass that test, "Just you two cut the ribbon, mom decided not to disturb others." She didn't choose an auspicious day for the zodiac, and the children were fine on Saturday, so she made a weekend afternoon.

The two children wore new clothes and cut the ribbon, very excited and happy, and Hu Ping took pictures for them. Chang Chun couldn't help being a little smug so far, she has almost everything in life, and God has treated her well.Of course, she wants to have a partner by her side to share this achievement with her.However, the world is difficult, she sighed softly, don't think about it. Zhu Zhiliang had something to do, but the flower basket arrived first before anyone arrived. Someone called her name, Chang Chun looked up and saw that it was the potbellied Feng Jiyu who came with Yuyu, the nanny and flowers.

It must be another talkative woman like Zhu Zhiliang, it is rare for a lawyer to be so talkative. Changchun suddenly felt that there were so many people, and Zhu Nu had a good idea. Just chatting with Yuyu for a few words, Ankang cheered over there. Heh, his father also came, dressed like a little angel for Bai Bai, and was held by An Fuquan. It seemed that Bai Bai had finally accepted his stepfather. Everyone came uninvited and gathered together. Strange is strange in that they are not friends, there is another trick. Standing beside Lin Haiqing, Hu Ping seemed to be talking to himself, but he was actually telling his brother: "Look at how generous he is, how willing he is to accept the facts."

Lin Haiqing was silent. Hu Ping said softly again: "I don't think anyone will say they are thirteen o'clock." Lin Haiqing still didn't answer. Hu Ping sighed, "Mom really wants to talk to you." Just as Chang Chun wanted to help, he saw Song Xiaoyu in a white dress elegantly pushing open the glass door and coming in. Just in time. Changchun greeted him, "Welcome, welcome." "I'm late. Attorney Zhu just told me yesterday that your store is expanding its business." Chang Chun smiled, "Don't be afraid, let me introduce you. This is my partner Lin Haiqing. You should know him."

Song Xiaoyu said generously: "I have admired your name for a long time." He shook hands with him. Chang Chun pulled Hu Ping, "Come on, greet the guests for me." Holding the camera in his hand, Hu Ping said to Chang Chun vigilantly, "Did you see it?" "what did you see?" "The two of them had an eye-opening feeling." "Which two people?" "Lin Haiqing and Song Xiaoyu." "Oh, your brother and sister." Hu Ping suddenly became nervous, "If the two of them develop, what should we do?" Chang Chun teased, "Kiss is more kissy."

Hu Ping disagreed, "I don't believe you can't see, this is a big social problem." "Don't worry, Lin Haiqing has no blood relationship with Song Xiaoyu at all, even if they get married, it doesn't matter." "But his mother married her father, and they are nominally brother and sister." Just as Chang Chun wanted to continue teasing, he suddenly saw Ankang over there carefully serving Bai Bai to drink orange juice. Ankang has always had a strange affection for this little girl, but Changchun didn't pay attention to it, and now she has to be vigilant.

Hu Ping looked at Changchun, "Look how friendly Ankang and Baibai are." If these two children grow up in the future, Chang Chun will definitely be frightened. Changchun suddenly had another layer of concern. So restrained and lively. Hu Ping continued: "How embarrassing, brother and sister are married." Changchun lowered his eyes. At this time Feng Jiyu came over with a smile, "Shi Biling, good people are rewarded with good rewards, I wish you great success." Changchun has other things on his mind, so he no longer wants to chat. That night, Changchun immediately had a dream.

After more than ten years of dreaming, Ankang is already a handsome young man, and as a mother, she is also full of gray hair and haggard. Chang Chun pointed to his temples and said, "Poor Gaotang Mingjing with sad white hair, like blue silk in the morning and snow in the evening." Young Ankang came over and held his mother's hand, "Mom, I'm getting married." marry?Okay, okay, Changchun let go of a big stone in her heart, her son has finally got married, and she has nothing to worry about, she has regained her freedom, and can return to the Lord at any time. "May I ask which family you are marrying? I will prepare the dowry."

Young Ankang laughed immediately, "Mom, don't be too polite, she is Dong Bai." "Who, Dong Bai?" "It's Aunt Dong's daughter. I've liked her since I was a child." "But," Chang Chun stammered in the dream, "Aunt Dong is your father's wife." "I knew that earlier." "You call your father-in-law?" Chang Chun was in a cold sweat. "Mom, this is just a secular name, we are not even distant relatives, we have no blood relationship at all." "But--" Suddenly, the young man Ankang's face darkened, "Mom, you don't need to talk too much, or you love your house, or we cut off contact." "Ankang, Ankang." Changchun waved anxiously. I saw Ankang go farther and farther, farther and farther away. Chang Chun woke up from the dream, "Wow". What a horrible nightmare. When she woke up, she immediately jumped out of bed to see Ankang. He was still small and fast asleep when his mother woke him up. Ankang asked sleepily, "What's the matter?" in a tone of annoyance. Chang Chunqi said, "Why, mom can't wake you up, but you can wake up mom? You guys are more than six months old, and you still wake up twice a night. Do you know how many nights of sleep you owe me, tell me." Ankang didn't know how to answer, so he had to say: "Mom, go to bed, tomorrow is another day." Changchun is depressed, he doesn't need her anymore. The little boy who hugged her thigh and cried so loudly to keep her from going to work is now sending her to sleep. She couldn't help but miss the pain of sleeplessness back then. The feeling of getting up again and again in the middle of the night just because someone really needs her is the most powerful stimulant, so women are still willing to have children. She closed the door for Ankang. Gradually, she got used to getting up at 2, 4, or 6, and she had to get up when there was crying, and she had to get up to have a look. Up to now, I am not used to not getting up. In order to have something to do, it is best to have another one? Changchun couldn't help laughing. The only thing to do now is to wait for the children to grow up. Time will pass, and this wish will surely come true. At this moment, Chang Chun wanted to talk to someone, she knew that there was someone who must have woken up at such a dawn, and she was Feng Jiyu. Chang Chun boldly dialed the number. The phone only rang once and it was connected. With a tacit understanding, the other side asked: "Spiriting?" "There's only summer in this city." "I don't know how to survive this hot summer." "Slow through the days as usual, and then you'll be amazed at how quickly winter comes." "Using this typing, it can be seen that life is really boring." Chang Chun laughed, "A gifted friend of mine said that he knew life was boring, but he never thought it would be this boring." Feng Jiyu continued, "Everyone knows that raising children is hard work, but they didn't expect it to be this hard." "Besides you and me, there are always people who can help you in your mother's family or husband's family." "never mind." Chang Chun said: "I am very stingy. Ankang has three aunts who stand by and watch. I just don't forgive them." Feng Jiyu laughed, "A person's willpower is particularly weak in the early morning, full of hatred." "There are a lot of complaints." "Spiriting, you have the right to complain, because you have overcome life, I can't, I have a long way to go, don't be discouraged." "If you want to get married, get married," Chang Chun reminded her, "children need titles." "Having married for children last time, you can't make the same mistake this time." "Then, get married for the summer." Feng Jiyu laughed. "It's already dawn, eat a rich breakfast," Chang Chun said, "and then get a haircut and buy a new dress." Feng Jiyu smiled wryly, "I'm not in the mood." "Ask the nanny to take Yuyu with you. You are human, so you should relax." Feng Jiyu sneered, is she still human?Isn't she a poor cow? Chang Chun didn't ask about the gentleman next to Feng Jiyu. At this moment, Ankang pushed the door open and came in, "Are you still asleep?" He was very surprised, "Mom, I'll just switch identities with you. I don't know how much I want to sleep until noon, but I have to go to cram school." Sighed regret. Chang Chun can't help but laugh, originally this is the most common thing mothers say to their children: "Why is the baby still not sleeping? Mom is so exhausted that she can't even sleep. Mom and you will change our lives, okay?" Now being used by the young son to teach her. Changchun yelled, "Where is my Baozi egg?" Fortunately, there is still a small one. Qiqi immediately ran over and jumped into her mother's arms. That day, when he returned to the store, Chang Chun saw that Lin Haiqing had obvious dark circles under his eyes. You must have been a thief last night, it's nice to be young. Sit down, Hai Qing said: "There are three people in the store who will be more relaxed." Chang Chun didn't make a sound, yes, who didn't know this was true, it was hard for her to endure everything by herself at the beginning. "I want to hire a male clerk." "I agree." It's harvest time. After a while, Hai Qing said, "I went to see my mother yesterday." Ah, Chang Chun was shocked. "She still has a beautiful appearance, and people thought she was our eldest sister since childhood." Indeed, there are such blessed women. Like a soul-stirring novel, it was already fascinating at the beginning, and Changchun was about to listen to the story, when a customer came in. Chang Chun had no choice but to go up to say hello. The guest took out the pattern, "My friend said, I bought this pair of earrings from you." Chang Chun took a look, "Oh yes." "I want a dozen or so, and to be honest, I own a gift shop at Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco." "It turns out to be an expert, sorry for your disrespect, but I don't have it in stock and need to make a reservation. Do you have a week?" "I'll be back the day after tomorrow, but I'm willing to pay a deposit, and you can send it to me by courier." "This is my partner, you have discussed it with him." Then came in a handsome young man, only seventeen or eighteen years old. He asked Chang Chun: "Do you have any jeweled rings?" "Yes, what kind do you want?" "The kind that doesn't exceed a thousand yuan." He was very frank. Chang Chun was a little embarrassed, "Can I pay a little more?" "Up to a thousand and two." Chang Chun also had to confess: "We don't have that kind of gemstone ring." Youth disappointed. "To whom?" "Girlfriend, her classmate has a gemstone ring, which she bought from your store." I see. Chang Chun had to harden her heart, all the exhibits in her store were commodities, and they could not be taken away unless she had paid the full amount of money. Once she did a good deed, if people came to hear about it, that would be fine. She coughed. "We have other rings." "There must be gems." Chang Chun smiled apologetically and spread his hands. Suddenly she heard a voice: "Or, can an exquisite camera stand make her happy?" It was Lin Haiqing. But the young man shook his head and left disappointed. Chang Chun looked at his back, and in ten or eight years, maybe Ankang would do the same to devote himself to a strange girl. Hai Qing said what Changchun said from the bottom of her heart: "It's strange that there has never been a teenager who is so devoted to his mother." Chang Chun gave him a white look, "Don't worry about me, fortunately I still have a daughter." Hai Qing said, "You don't know how lucky you are." "I guess I am." Pause, "Ling Tang also has a daughter, and Hu Ping is your sister." Remind him to continue the story. Haiqing said melancholy: "Oh yes, my mother." His mother still looked young, sitting upright on the expensive sofa chair, looking a little sacrosanct. Hai Qing picked a chair that was relatively far away and sat down. The large living room has this advantage. People can maintain a little distance from each other without fighting. Mother said: "Hai Qing, long time no see." She looked sincere. As an artist, Hai Qing certainly knows how to appreciate the impeccably cut cheongsam on her body. This kind of material used to be called Qiao Qisha in Shanghai. It is a very thin, translucent, slightly crinkled printed cotton yarn. Hai Qing turned her gaze elsewhere. Other than him, who would look at his mother like this, ordinary people don't care about his mother's appearance, what's the difference, a mother is a mother, as long as she loves her children, she is a good mother. It took me a long time to answer: "I partnered with someone and opened a gift shop. I am so busy that I wish I had four hands." Mother nodded, "I heard that your partner is a very capable wife who will help you a lot." Hai Qing immediately looked at Hu Ping. His sister opened her eyes, indicating that she was not the one who leaked the news. The mother still does not let him go, and the mother still inquires about his privacy. It's one thing if he doesn't come to see her, she knows all about him. Having said that, Hai Qing stopped. Changchun seldom loses her composure like this, but she couldn't bear it anymore, she chased after her and asked, "What happened next?" Hai Qing said, "I'm leaving." "what!" "I didn't stay for dinner and I took my leave." "But," she had a thousand questions, "what kind of person is Mr. Song, and, is your mother happy, and, are you planning to make peace? I want to know." Haiqing said: "I want to know too, but I can't hold my breath. I feel like I'm sitting on pins and needles, and I have to go." "It's hard enough for you, you're doing great." But the story couldn't be listened to, which was what Chun wanted. Hai Qing's eyes suddenly flashed a hint of cunning, "Tomorrow, maybe there will be new developments that I can tell you about tomorrow." What is this, One Thousand and One Nights? Changchun was angry about it. Talk a little bit every day, when it comes to tension, and listen to the next chapter to break it down, it is addictive. Why did Lin Haiqing do that?There must be a reason. Thinking of this, Chang Chun's face suddenly flushed red. Hu Ping came to make the final revision for the shop decoration. She said to the proprietress: "Haiqing finally went to see her mother. It's your credit, Miss Chang." "No! It has nothing to do with me. He is always her son, and he will definitely go to see her." "Mother is crying." Chang Chun raised an eyebrow, Hai Qing didn't mention a word, oh yes, maybe the book hasn't mentioned this section yet. "Hai Qing also burst into tears." It's wonderful, when does Hai Qing plan to tell this chapter, without Hu Ping's prompting, Chang Chun's heart is even more itchy after Hu Ping's eye touch. On the surface, he didn't show any meaning at all, Changchun just smiled faintly. "He sat for a while before leaving." Chang Chun asked leisurely, "Did you have dinner?" "No, it's a pity that no one is in the mood or appetite for a table full of dishes." "Is Mr. Song here?" He avoided it on purpose. Hai Qing didn't lie, he just concealed some facts and didn't mention them. That afternoon, Changchun took Qiqi to lawyer Zhu Zhiliang's office. Even little Kiki is wearing a suit to show solemnity. Feng Jiyu also came, dragging Yuyu's little hand. After the two sisters sat down, lawyer Zhu Zhiliang said to them gently: "On behalf of your father, I will hand over this inheritance to you." The two little girls looked at Lawyer Zhu, but didn't understand what the adults said. Lawyer Zhu further explained: "Although your father is no longer alive, he still loves and cares about you and wants you to have a better life, so he gave you half of his property during his lifetime as a gift." The little girl still didn't understand, but just sat still obediently. As Zhu Zhiliang spoke, tears welled up in his eyelashes, and suddenly he couldn't control himself, sobbing loudly. She hurriedly turned her head away to hide her embarrassment. The air conditioning in the law office is very cold, which helps her recover. Everyone remained silent. After a while, Lawyer Zhu turned around, pushed two envelopes in front of them, and said softly, "Please order the promissory note." The two mothers immediately put the envelope into their handbags. Lawyer Zhu Zhiliang said: "Your father loves you very much." Passionate people tend to think that other people are also passionate. The office door was opened, and when they turned their heads away, they found that Song Xiaoyu had also come. She was late and was wearing travel attire. She probably had an appointment soon, probably going to sea. From this, it can be seen that her nostalgia for Zhang Jiajun had also been reduced to a minimum. At this time, lawyer Zhu Zhiliang announced: "The formalities for the handover of the estate have been completed." There was a faint smile on the corner of Song Xiaoyu's mouth, and he didn't know what was going on in his heart. At this time, Qiqi whispered in her mother's ear: "What will Dad give me this time?" Chang Chun was startled, and was about to consider the words, but unexpectedly, Qiqi asked again: "Is it new clothes or toys?" Changchun replied truthfully: "It's a sum of money, and it will be used for your studies in the future." "Is there brother?" "He didn't." Qiqi was taken aback, "He didn't, so I don't want it either." "His father will take care of him." "Give half to brother." Qiqi was very stubborn and friendly. Chang Chun had no choice but to comfort her: "Okay, I'll figure it out." I hope this kind of love can continue into adulthood.
