There are elderly people and children in the Jiang family, so they did not stay up until twelve o'clock. It was too late and it was inconvenient for everyone to go home.
So at about nine o'clock, Grandpa Jiang felt a little sleepy, so he took out the red envelopes and distributed them to the juniors.
Cen Huai'an was the first to kneel down and kowtow. He took the red envelope with both hands and smiled at Grandpa Jiang: "Thank you, Grandpa!"
Zhang Lu's children also immediately knelt down and said, "Thank you, great-grandpa, great-grandpa."
Everyone else was waiting for Grandpa Jiang to finish giving the money to the children. At this time, Jiang Zhida took out a handful of money, sat on the sofa, held it in one hand and shook it in the other: "Come, let me hear who is talking to you." My New Year's greetings are many and nice, one for each!"
Cen Huai'an looked at the money and his eyes lit up instantly. Before the other children could react, he stood directly in front of Jiang Zhida: "I wish my cousin all the best, lots of money, smooth sailing, peace and joy..."
He said one, and Jiang Zhida counted one. Soon, Jiang Zhida had less and less money in his hands, and more and more money was given to Cen Huai'an as a lucky gift.
Cen Huai'an continued to speak, without any pause for thought, and without repeating any of his congratulations. Hearing this, Zhang Lu's children's eyes grew wider and wider, and their faces became more and more anxious, because they had thought up their New Year's congratulations. , almost finished by Cen Huaian.
Jiang Zhida, on the other hand, had a happy face and was pleased to hear: An An said so well, from now on he wants to make money and everything goes smoothly!
Chu Xia covered her face in embarrassment: It's over, Cen Huaian's attribute of being a money-lover can no longer be concealed. But when did he accumulate so many auspicious words?
Cen Zhengnian looked at Cen Huai'an with a smile on his face and pride in his eyes. The other adults also looked surprised.
Jiang Zhiguan asked Chu Xia quietly: "How did you let An An study? He is only ten years old!"
There are so many auspicious idioms that are not repeated, let alone children, even adults cannot say them.
Chu Xia shook his head: "I never forced him to study."
An An knows so many things that he likes and learned by himself.
Jiang Zhiyi heard it from the side and exclaimed in disbelief: "An An is so amazing! I don't even remember what I did when I was ten years old, let alone studying."
Jiang Zhiguan also had the same idea.
When Jiang Zhida finished counting the money in his hand, Cen Huaian stopped, looked at Jiang Zhida and raised the corners of his mouth and said, "Cousin, let me tell you this first."
Cen Huai'an could say more, but Zhang Lu kept tugging on his sleeve. If he continued to speak, the others would really have nothing to say.
Jiang Zhida looked at the money on the table for Cen Huai'an, and then at his empty hand, feeling a little unresponsive.
What he prepared was not a dozen, but dozens of tickets. He thought that these children at home would never be used up no matter how powerful they were. He didn't expect that just one Cen Huai'an would take away all the new year's money.
However, Jiang Zhida felt very happy after hearing so many auspicious words. Besides, celebrating the New Year was all about happiness. He gave the money on the table to Cen Huaian: "Okay, these are all yours!"
Cen Huai'an took the money, and the small ledger in his heart rattled. His savings could be increased by a large sum.
Now An'an is like a little Pixiu, crazily grabbing money into his arms.
"My, my!"
It was only at this time that An An was completely like a child, not thinking about anything, and people couldn't help but smile when they saw her.
"Mom, a lot of new year's money!" Cen Huaian walked up to Chu Xia and showed her the money.
The smile at the corner of Chu Xia's mouth got bigger. She raised her hand and rubbed his hair and said, "It's really a lot. When you get home, I'll take you to get a passbook and deposit it in the bank."
Cen Huaian said "Hmm", thinking about the money he had saved, the corners of his mouth turned up.
Over there, Jiang Zhida took out another handful of money, and Zhang Lu hurriedly walked up to him, trying hard to think of auspicious words that Cen Huai'an had not said.
However, she didn't know as much as Cen Huai'an in the first place, and after being told so much by him, she finally thought hard and only got five pieces of great unity.
After Zhang Lu finished speaking, Jiang Weixian didn't think about anything and immediately rushed to Jiang Zhida: "I wish you uncle... I wish you uncle..."
After congratulating him for a long time, but without saying a word of congratulation, he burst out crying: "Uncle, I can't remember. Everything I can say has been said by my brothers and sisters!"
Jiang Weixian's tone was very aggrieved. He knew several of them, but he didn't take the lead over his brothers and sisters.
Like him, Cen Huaize and Cen Huaixin were unable to say a single word of auspiciousness in front of Jiang Zhida. In the end, like Xixi who did not go to school, they both only received a piece of lucky money.
Xiwang looked at the money in the hands of Cen Huaize and Cen Huaixin, and then thought of the amount of money Cen Huaian took. He only regretted that his two children did not react quickly enough and did not live up to their expectations!
"Next time you say blessings, you two should run faster." Xi Wang whispered to the two children.
Cen Huaize scratched his head: "But Mom, I ran first and I don't know what to say."
He only knew how to play when he was in school, dawdling around every day, and never studied at all. How could he know those polite-sounding auspicious words?
Cen Huaixin is better than Cen Huaize. She can study in school, but because she is not serious, she does not study well.
She was more confident than Cen Huaize, so she nodded heavily and said, "Okay!"
Cen's father and Jiang Shengnan didn't think it was a problem that Cen Huaize and Cen Huaixin couldn't tell them. After all, An An had said so much.
However, the two of them kept their eyes on Cen Huai'an, with pride in their eyes, and the smile in the corners of Jiang Shengnan's eyes never fell.
The others did not have as many tricks as Jiang Zhida. Each of the children received the same amount of money. After the distribution, Jiang Zhishu and Jiang Zhida drove everyone home.
The homes of Chu Xia, Cen Huai'an, and Cen Zhengnian were the farthest from Grandpa Chiang's home, and Jiang Zhida was the last to see them off.
On the way, Jiang Zhida couldn't bear it anymore and told Chu Xia and Cen Zhengnian about their bid for land this time.
"You don't know how many companies are bidding, even the famous Meng family in Xiangjiang are here. The piece of land is too big and divided into several pieces. Qian Ran and I did not bid for the largest pieces of land, but We picked one that we were guaranteed to win, even at that time it was extremely risky."
Jiang Zhida paused for a moment, raising the curiosity of the three people in Chu Xia to the highest level, and all eyes looked at him: "Then what?"
Jiang Zhida raised his eyebrows and said with a proud look: "Of course the bid was successful! But it almost failed. At first, Xiaoran said that he would only use the loan and the money we earned, not your cousins and cousins. . But I said, since we have bids, we have to put them all forward. If we can't succeed, it is purely because we are not strong enough, and we are not sorry. The result is that with the money, it is just a little higher than the company with the highest bid, and we won the land! "
Jiang Zhida's tone was filled with rejoicing. If they had hesitated even a little bit when writing the bid amount, they would have really missed out on that piece of land.
But a successful bid is only the first step. Next, we have to think about how to build a factory on the land, and... we are short of money!
Chu Xia thought for a while and said: "If we continue to borrow money, it will be easier to get loans once we have the land. Once the factory is built and orders are received, the funds will slowly come back and we can repay the bank loan by then."
Jiang Zhida shook his head: "We have thought about a loan, but the pressure is too great. I am going to find my elder brother to see if I can convince him to invest in us. Qian Ran is responsible for the factory. I will also go to Haishi and other cities to continue to open up new markets. Let's see if we can take the order."
Before the factory is established, you can first set up a small workshop to accept small orders. After the factory is established, you can then work hard to accept large orders.
Chu Xia thought for a moment and said, "That's okay. It will indeed be less stressful, but it will be harder."
The two talked about the general direction of the business, but Jiang Zhida and Qian Ran still needed to work on the specific details, and Chu Xia couldn't help with these.
Cen Huaian listened to the two people talking very carefully. He lay on the back of the chair and kept looking at Jiang Zhida.
Cen Zhengnian did not participate in the conversation between the two. His eyes only fell on Chu Xia. Looking at her serious look, the tenderness in his eyes overflowed.
*
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Cen Zhengnian and his research institute were also on holiday. He took Chu Xia and An An to pay New Year's greetings to his teacher Yan Hemin, and then walked around with some of his close colleagues from the institute.
Ye Xingxiu finally got married. He got married last year. The person he married was a girl in the blind date photos his mother sent him.
That girl was very brave. After being rejected by Ye Xingxu, she came directly with Ye Xingxu's photo. She must ask clearly why he didn't like her.
The girl came all the way, and Ye Xingxu couldn't leave her alone. The two gradually got to know each other, and after a series of things, they fell in love and got married.
In early summer, I was in the family home and watched the various entanglements between Ye Xingxiu and his wife. It was really not easy for them to get together.
When Ye Xingxu brought his wife to Chu Xia's house, Chu Xia and Cen Zhengnian had just returned from celebrating the New Year.
The two of them had just gotten married not long ago, and it was a sweet time. Just looking at each other made people feel the love flowing between them.
Ye Xingsu hugged his wife and smiled proudly at Cen Zhengnian: He also has a wife, and he no longer has to envy Cen Zhengnian!
Cen Zhengnian didn't pay attention to his provocation at all and simply ignored his actions. He poured a glass of water for the two of them and put it in front of them. He turned to call Cen Huai'an: "An'an, wish my uncle and aunt a happy New Year."
Cen Huai'an immediately stood in front of Ye Xingxiu and Ye Xingxiu, bent down and gave them auspicious New Year greetings.
Ye Xingsu touched his nose and signaled his wife to give Cen Huaian a red envelope. He didn't bring any money, and all his money now belongs to his wife.
Cen Huaian got a lot of red envelopes today.
True to his word, Chu Xia took him to get a bankbook and put all the money he had saved over the years into it.
Cen Huaian held the bankbook and looked at the money on it, and he couldn't control the joy in his heart.
He put the passbook into the box where he kept his precious things, and he would put more money in it in the future.
*
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Cen's father and Jiang Shengnan called Cen Zhengnian's family and Cen Zhengshi's family together, and in front of Cen Zhengshi's family, they transferred the ownership of the courtyard to Chu Xia's name.
This was Cen Zhengnian's request. He didn't need a house, but he knew that Chu Xia had always wanted a courtyard house.
After hearing what Cen Zhengnian said to Cen's father and Jiang Shengnan, Chu Xia said without a second thought, "This is the house your parents gave you. I don't want it."
If she wants a house, she can buy it by herself. Chu Xia is still confident that she can buy a house. When Jiang Zhida and his factory are built and operating normally, her dividends will be even greater.
Cen Zhengnian insisted: "You can also call them parents. We are a family. Give them to me and give them to you."
Chu Xia still didn't want to accept it. She thought for a while and said, "If you really want to give it to me, why not transfer the ownership to An'an."
Cen Huaian was standing beside the two of them. He was a member of the family and had the right to participate in major family decisions.
When he heard what his mother said, he immediately shook his head, took Chu Xia's arm and looked up at her: "Mom, don't transfer the property to me. I also want to give the courtyard to you."
Cen Huaian heard his mother say more than once at home that he would buy a courtyard house in the future. Of course, he would put his mother's wish first.
With the persistence of one large and one small children, the courtyard was finally settled under Chu Xia's name.
Chu Xia was still a little unconscious while holding the property certificate of the courtyard house with her name on it.
She has the house she has always wanted to buy? But when Chu Xia thought about how this courtyard came to be, her mood became a little complicated.
She sighed, put away the real estate certificate, and turned to look at Xi Wang's ugly face.
Although he had achieved his goal, Xi Wang felt extremely uncomfortable when he saw that his parents-in-law were so eager to transfer the ownership of the courtyard to Chu Xia.
In the evening, Chu Xia's family sat together for dinner in a good atmosphere and talked about Chu Xia's going to the hospital to work tomorrow.
"The teacher who takes Meng Chun and I has a shift at the hospital tomorrow, and I have to go too. I won't be back at noon tomorrow. You take care of yourselves."
Cen Huaian swallowed the food in his mouth, nodded "Yes" and said, "Mom, don't worry and go to work."
He is ten years old and can cook for himself and deliver food to his father.
Cen Zhengnian added a piece of beef to Chu Xia and put it in her bowl: "Don't worry, I will take good care of An An."
Chu Xia wasn't very worried about the two of them. Before she went to school, Cen Zhengnian and Cen Huaian took care of themselves.
Hearing their assurances made me feel more reassured.
While sleeping, Chu Xia took out the real estate certificate again, but she still felt it was unreal.
She sat cross-legged on the bed and looked at Cen Zhengnian, who was unbuttoning his clothes next to him. He raised his chin slightly and loosened his tie with one hand. There was an air of abstinence in his whole person, as if a wild beast was about to come out of the cage in the next second.
What Chu Xia wanted to say was suddenly forgotten.
Cen Zhengnian raised his eyelids and looked at Chu Xia with doubtful eyes, and saw her staring at his face.
Cen Zhengnian raised the corners of his mouth and walked over to take out the real estate certificate from Chu Xia's hand.
Chu Xia was a little confused, but her hands were very strong. She didn't let go of the real estate certificate. She suddenly came to her senses, looked at Cen Zhengnian in confusion and asked, "What are you doing?"
Cen Zhengnian couldn't help but chuckle, ruffled her hair and looked at her teasingly: "It seems you really like Siheyuan."
He was so stunned that he still held the real estate certificate in his hand and refused to let go.
Chu Xia nodded without feeling any shame: "Yes, I just like buying a house."
"Then you can't sleep with it in your arms. I'll help you put it down."
Chu Xia thought about it seriously and actually wanted to sleep with the real estate certificate in hand. But just thinking about it, she felt that this behavior was a bit difficult to do in front of Cen Zhengnian.
Putting the real estate certificate back to the original place where Chu Xia had left it, Cen Zhengnian turned off the light and raised Chu Xia's hand. His voice seemed to be suppressed, and he asked her with a bit of hoarseness: "What were you looking at just now?"
Chu Xia denied it: "I didn't watch it." She has always been tough on this.
Cen Zhengnian said with a regretful tone: "Forget it if you don't have it. I also thought that if you are really curious, I can let you touch it with your hands..."
Before he could finish his words, Chu Xia immediately reached out and touched his Adam's apple.
Cen Zhengnian's voice stopped instantly. Under Chu Xia's warm and soft fingertips, his Adam's apple rolled a few times and his voice became hoarse: "Chu Xia, do you know what you are doing?"
Chu Xia only felt the sexiness of his Adam's apple, especially when he moved. It felt completely different between looking at it and feeling it under his hands.
She nodded: "Of course I know, you asked me to touch it."
Cen Zhengnian said nothing, and her actions proved the consequences of her deliberately provoking anger.
The moonlight was just right outside, and there was a strong spring feeling in the house. The faint sound coming from the bedroom made Huang Zi and Heizi outside move their ears to hear clearly whose voice it was, and then they continued to sleep in the nest.
*
Siheyuan.
When Xi Wang and Cen Zheng were preparing to sleep in the west wing room, the atmosphere between them was not as good as that of Cen Zhengnian's family.
Xiwang sat in front of the dressing table and looked at the house he lived in. The more he looked at it, the more angry he became.
When he turned his head again, he saw Cen Zheng lying on the bed nonchalantly. With a look of no concern on his face, he walked over and raised his hand and slapped him hard on the arm: "You know how to sleep!"
Cen Zhengshi sat up covering his arms: "What's wrong with you?"
"You said that your parents are so anxious to transfer the property to Luo Chuxia's courtyard house. Have they already wanted to give the house to your brother's family? You haven't finished your affairs yet. You still have time to sleep now."
Cen Zheng had a headache when he heard Xi Wang say these words. He rubbed his head, put on his slippers and closed the window, then turned around and said to Xi Wang: "Keep your voice down, don't let your parents hear you. My dad always talks. To be honest, what he promised will not change, but if you are still dissatisfied, my father will really say no when he is angry. "
Cen Zhengshi just wanted to spend the new year in the capital safely, but Xiwang had been having troubles, which made him stuck on both sides and his life would be very uncomfortable.
Xiwang curled his lips and swallowed what he wanted to say. If they wanted to get out the troops in the mountains, they could only rely on Cen Zhengshi's work transfer. She didn't dare to offend Cen's father and Jiang Shengnan now.
*
On the first day of working in the hospital after the New Year in early summer, there were many patients, all accumulated during the New Year. It was not until lunch time that she and Ye Mengchun took a break.
The two of them sat in Mrs. Tang's lounge to eat. The food was served in the hospital cafeteria. It was not a very delicious big pot meal, but it was not so unpalatable that it was difficult to swallow.
While eating, a nurse knocked on the door of the lounge, stuck her head in and said, "Doctor Luo, someone is looking for you."
"Who is it?" Chu Xia walked out with some confusion and saw Jiang Zhiyi standing in the corridor with red eyes.
"Zhiyi?"
Chu Xia was surprised to see her. She guessed that it might be Cen Zhengnian, Cen Huaian or Jiang Zhida who came to find her, but she didn't expect it to be Jiang Zhiyi. Moreover, her eyes were red and swollen, and she looked like she had just cried.
"Cousin." Jiang Zhiyi's voice lost its previous vitality and was full of depression and sadness.
At this time, Ye Mengchun also came out. Seeing Jiang Zhiyi's condition, she motioned to Chu Xia with an iron lunch box: "I'm done eating, go wash the lunch box."
Ye Mengchun gave the rest room to two people. Mrs. Tang's home was close to the hospital. She would go home to rest after seeing the patients in the morning, and then come back during work hours in the afternoon.
Chu Xia led Jiang Zhida into the lounge and poured her a glass of water. She held the teapot, looked down at the ripples of the water, and said in a dull voice: "Cousin, my mother does not agree with me being a reporter."
Chu Xia hadn't finished her meal yet. She had to see a lot of patients with Mrs. Tang in the afternoon. She had to eat enough, so she continued to eat.
Hearing this, Chu Xia raised her head and looked at Jiang Zhiyi: "Have you told your mother all your thoughts?"
Jiang Zhiyi nodded heavily: "I really can't stand my mother's supervision of studying. On the second day of the new year, I was kept at home to study, and I had to recite what I studied every day. I didn't want to learn at all, so I was in the classroom several times. She failed there. My mother got angry, and I was also angry at the time. I suddenly blurted out, 'I don't want to be a graduate student, I want to be a reporter.'"
Chu Xia could imagine the next scene. With Zhou Huaying's temper, she would never allow Jiang Zhiyi to be disobedient and contradictory.
Sure enough, the scene Jiang Zhiyi talked about next was like this.
Zhou Huaying directly disagreed. She felt that being a reporter was tiring and hard, and sometimes the news she did was dangerous. It was not suitable for girls at all.
She didn't understand how great it would be to be a college teacher like her. During the winter and summer vacations, she didn't have to go to the news in the wind or rain. She could rest after class.
Zhou Huaying is not that ambitious and does not focus on scientific research or projects like other teachers.
During her rest time, she only likes to write poetry and prose and submit them to publishing houses.
Zhou Huaying has very good literary talent and is also a well-known writer in the circle. The leaders in the school also respect her and she is very comfortable in school.
Therefore, Zhou Huaying wanted Jiang Zhiyi to follow her path. With her and Uncle Jiang taking care of her, Jiang Zhiyi would go very smoothly and her life would be as comfortable as hers.
Jiang Zhiyi and Zhou Huaying couldn't make sense. Second uncle Jiang stood with Zhou Huaying. He also believed that Zhou Huaying's arrangement was not wrong.
He earnestly advised Jiang Zhiyi: "Your parents will not harm you. We are all for your own good. You will understand when you grow up."
Ever since she was little, Jiang Zhiyi's ears have been numb when she heard this sentence: "I have grown up and can make my own decisions!"
But no matter how Jiang Zhiyi explained or talked about her ideals, the attitudes of Zhou Huaying and Second Uncle Jiang did not change. They even said that if she did not listen to her family, she would not ask her family for money in the future.
Jiang Zhiyi didn't mean that she had grown up. A truly grown-up child does not need to be raised by her parents.
Jiang Zhiyi couldn't stop crying and felt very uncomfortable. She said, "If you don't want money, don't want it." Then she ran out of the house to find Chu Xia.
"I don't dare to go to my grandpa's house. He is old and I don't want him to worry about me anymore because my parents and I are angry."
Jiang Zhiyi didn't know who to look for, so she finally found Chu Xia's hospital. She still doesn't know if Chu Xia will go to work today.
She thought that if she was not in the hospital in early summer, she would go back to school early to see if she could ask the counselor to let her live in the dormitory during the winter vacation.
After Chu Xia heard what Jiang Zhiyi said about her meal, she also finished her meal. She covered the lunch box and asked Jiang Zhiyi: "Then what will you do next?"
Jiang Zhiyi's face showed confusion: "I don't know either."
She ran out because she was angry. At that time, her mind was so hot that she didn't think about anything. She even wore slippers on her feet.
Now Jiang Zhiyi is also at a loss. She has no money, no clothes, no food, and has no idea what to do next.
"If your parents don't support your dream, they will worry about you." Chu Xia looked at Jiang Zhiyi and said.
Jiang Zhiyi shook her head and said very stubbornly, "My parents won't worry about me."
Chu Xia disagreed with her words: "Don't say angry words. No matter what the conflict is, you have to let your family know where you went. I guess your family is looking for you now."
Jiang Zhiyi still didn't believe Chu Xia's words. She was a little thirsty just now, so she drank some water and said, "My parents said they don't want to support me anymore. They won't worry."
When she said this, Jiang Zhiyi's tone was still sad. She didn't have to ask her parents to support her, but it really hurt her heart when her parents said this.
"How about we make a bet?" Chu Xia said with a smile.
In the end, Jiang Zhiyi agreed to call home, but it was Chu Xia who made the call.
Because Chu Xia said that if Jiang Zhiyi stopped calling home, all the Jiang family members would probably know that she had a quarrel with her family and ran away from home. Even if Grandpa Jiang doesn't want to know, he will know.
But when Chu Xia called Uncle Jiang's house, no one answered. Chu Xia raised her eyes and looked at Jiang Zhiyi, and said with certainty: "Your parents must be looking for you!"
She called Jiang Zhiyi's brother Jiang Zhijie again, and this time someone answered.
"Early summer?"
"Second cousin, Zhiyi is now in the hospital where I work."
Chu Xia clearly heard Jiang Zhijie sighing in relief: "My dad just called me and said that she ran away from home in anger. I was about to ask for leave to go out to find her."
When Jiang Zhiyi heard what Jiang Zhijie said, she looked into Chu Xia's smiling eyes and lowered her head in shame.
But it was still too late, Grandpa Jiang still knew about the quarrel between Jiang Zhiyi and her parents.
In the afternoon, Chu Xia was afraid that Grandpa Jiang would be angry about Jiang Zhiyi and her parents, so she took a long time to send Jiang Zhiyi to Grandpa Jiang's house.
When she arrived, Zhou Huaying sat on the sofa with a cold face. She put one hand on her knees. When she saw Chu Xia and Jiang Zhiyi coming in, she turned her face to the side, as if she didn't want to see Jiang Zhiyi.
Jiang Zhiyi stiffened when she saw her mother's movements, with a hurt expression on her face.
Uncle Jiang ran over and put Jiang Zhiyi's shoes on the ground: "Put on your shoes quickly, you won't be afraid of your feet hurting from the cold. Girls must protect themselves and not catch cold."
Jiang Zhiyi lowered her head and said nothing. She knelt down and put on her shoes silently, feeling better.
And then Zhou Huaying suddenly said: "You don't care what she does, she won't listen to us now, let her freeze her feet off, then she will know the pain!"
Second Uncle Jiang saw that Jiang Zhiyi's eye circles were red again, and he was afraid that she would run away, so he turned around and asked Zhou Huaying to stop saying such angry words.
"Your mother also cares about you. She asked me to bring you these shoes."
They were all sitting on the sofa, Zhou Huaying still didn't even look at Jiang Zhiyi.
Second Uncle Jiang smiled and looked at Chu Xia aside, thanking her for helping bring Zhiyi back.
Chu Xia waved her hand and said it was okay.
"Zhiyi, why did you get up and go to Chuxia Hospital?" Uncle Jiang asked Jiang Zhiyi. He couldn't understand when his daughter and Chuxia had such a good relationship.
Jiang Zhiyi: "I ran away casually."
Second Uncle Jiang laughed twice, obviously not believing what Jiang Zhiyi said.
He looked at Chu Xia and was about to ask something when Grandpa Jiang suddenly coughed and said: "Okay, second brother, what's the point of asking where Zhiyi ran? Now that the person has been found, the focus is to solve the problem. Is there something that you can't explain clearly? Do you have to force the child to run away from home? "
Zhou Huaying didn't say anything, and Uncle Jiang told Grandpa Jiang the whole story: "Dad, you have children like us, you should be able to understand the painstaking efforts of Huaying and I. We just want Zhiyi's path to go smoothly in the future, and we don't want to What detours she took and what hardships she endured."
There is no doubt that Second Uncle Jiang and Zhou Huaying love Jiang Zhiyi. It's just that the love between the two is a bit suffocating, and they want their children to live completely according to their ideas.
As long as they think it's good for their children, the children must do it.
Grandpa Jiang snorted: "Isn't this how you forced Zhiyi to repeat the college entrance examination? Why do you want to do it again now?"
Zhou Huaying said in a cold voice: "The only condition I agree with Zhiyi not to repeat her studies is that she takes the postgraduate entrance examination. Now that she doesn't take the entrance examination, dad, why don't I get angry?"
Speaking of this, the fire in Zhou Huaying's heart couldn't be extinguished.
Jiang Zhiyi said: "Mom, I told you that I can go to graduate school, but I want to change my major."
"No." Zhou Huaying refused without thinking: "You were pampered and raised by me and your father. Even in the most difficult times, we didn't let you suffer. Now you have to suffer when you grow up. I don't agree. !"
Even with Grandpa Jiang around, there was no way to mediate the conflict between Jiang Zhiyi and Zhou Huaying. In the end, Jiang Zhiyi lived in Grandpa Jiang's house.
Zhou Huaying insisted that if Jiang Zhiyi did not change her mind, then she and her father would have no choice but to cut off the money they gave her every month.
Jiang Zhiyi told her dream and did not want to compromise. Second Uncle Jiang was in a dilemma. No one could persuade him, but Jiang Zhiyi could not be left without a place to live. Grandpa Jiang asked her to live with him first.
Zhou Huaying was wearing small leather shoes and carrying a bag. She glared at Jiang Zhiyi and walked out.
Second Uncle Jiang frowned and glanced at Jiang Zhiyi: "Tell me when will you save us some trouble?"
After saying that, he quickly chased after Zhou Huaying.
Although Jiang Zhiyi can do what she wants to do, she is not happy when she has a falling out with her family.
Chu Xia patted her shoulder and said, "Your father has already doubted me just now."
Jiang Zhiyi was puzzled: "Why do you doubt me?"
Before Chu Xia could speak, Grandpa Jiang snorted, pointed at Jiang Zhiyi and said, "What else can I doubt? I suspect that Chu Xia has led you astray. It was Chu Xia who gave you the idea to cause trouble at home."
Jiang Zhiyi was stunned there, with regret on her face. She patted her head and looked at Chu Xia guiltily: "I didn't expect it. I'm sorry, cousin."
Chu Xia shook her head, and Grandpa Jiang said beside her: "Don't talk about this now. If Zhiyi has any conflicts with your family in the future, don't go to Chu Xia. It will easily bring trouble to her. Come directly to my place. Your parents don't dare." Dissatisfied with me."
If Jiang Zhiyi goes to find Chu Xia again, it will only make Second Uncle Jiang and Zhou Huaying dislike Chu Xia and affect the relationship between the two families.
Jiang Zhiyi did not think things through carefully, but she understood when Grandpa Jiang said this, and she responded obediently: "Grandpa, I remember."
Although she didn't practice in the hospital in the afternoon in early summer, she was still very tired.
When she got home and leaned back on the sofa, she didn't want to move at all.
Cen Huaian came back with Huang Zi in hand. Hei Zi was pregnant with a puppy and was about to give birth. Now Cen Huaian no longer takes it out for walks.
The puppy that Heizi was pregnant with was not Huangzi's. Two dogs were born from one mother and could not be bred.
During the days when Heizi was pregnant with the puppy, Cen Huaian saw it getting very close to a large spotted dog in the village and guessed that it might be the puppy's baby.
Seeing the door to his home open, Cen Huai'an's mouth turned up. When he opened the door, he saw Chu Xia sitting on the sofa.
"Mom, are you back?"
"Yeah." Chu Xia didn't want to speak. She persuaded Jiang Zhiyi in the hospital today that she said too much.
Cen Huaian noticed something was wrong with Chu Xia, walked over and knelt down in front of Chu Xia, looked up at her and asked, "Mom, what's wrong with you?"
Chu Xia rubbed her head and said, "I'm a little tired."
Next, Cen Huai'an wouldn't let Chu Xia enter the kitchen. He would make today's dinner and wouldn't let Chu Xia help. While doing it, he would look back from time to time and ask Chu Xia if he was doing it right.
Chu Xia always encouraged him, and he had a good memory and copied her cooking steps, so there was nothing wrong with it.
After dinner in the evening, Chu Xia finally had some energy and told Cen Huai'an and Cen Zhengnian about Jiang Zhiyi's affairs today.
After finishing speaking, both of them were silent for a while, shaking their heads and sighing inwardly.
They are really lucky that their loved ones support whatever they want to do.
Cen Huaian also likes his mother very much, because her mother never objects to anything he wants to do, unless he wants to stay up late and read comic books, and her mother firmly disagrees.
He couldn't help but hugged Chu Xia, "Mom." Cen Huaian wanted to say thank you to his mother, and wanted to say that his mother was so kind, but he couldn't say it out, so he just nuzzled in Chu Xia's arms dependently.
Chu Xia was stunned when he hugged her. Since Cen Huaian grew up, he rarely took the initiative to hug Chu Xia. He felt that he had grown up and could no longer be like he was when he was a child.
But soon, Chu Xia figured out what Cen Huaian was thinking, her expression softened, and she touched his head.
Jiang Zhiyi's matter cannot be solved in a short while. Grandpa Jiang can't do anything, and Chu Xia can't do anything either.
But Jiang Zhiyi decided not to take the graduate degree in literature and was studying journalism.
I was busy interning in the hospital in early summer and didn't pay much attention to the follow-up.
And she didn't have the time to care about Jiang Zhiyi because Heizi gave birth to a baby that night.
This is the first time Heizi has given birth to puppies. People say that pets are like their owners. Huang Zi and Heizi, both dogs raised by Cen Huai'an, have a somewhat arrogant temperament that ordinary dogs would not look down on.
Originally, Chu Xia thought that Heizi would have puppies soon after he became an adult, but he didn't expect that they would only have puppies now.
Therefore, it was their first time to watch a dog give birth to a baby. At night, they heard Heizi groaning in pain and howling softly, and the whole family got up quickly.
Chu Xia had never delivered a dog before, and didn't know much about this work. Cen Zhengnian and Cen Huai'an didn't even know about it.
So Chu Xia helped Heizi deliver the baby according to the steps of a human delivery, and kept encouraging it: "Heizi, come on, work hard!"
Then she went to prepare some hot water and sugar water, and fed Heizi to drink when he gave birth to puppies to replenish his energy.
