Qin Dazhuang tidied up the stall while talking to his two children.
"Dad is running a pancake business to save money for your education in the future. You must listen to your mom, listen to grandma and grandpa, study hard, and don’t be like your dad in the future. Be like your aunt and uncle, go to college, and beco soone capable, understand?"
Qin Dazhuang’s eyes were full of love; his daughter was his lifeline, his hope.
He couldn’t understand why he was so obsessed with having a son back then. Really, what’s wrong with having a daughter? A daughter is like a little cotton-padded jacket. Despite everything, his daughter was still fond of him.
He had made so many mistakes.
Zhaodi and Ladi nodded, "Dad, don’t work so hard. Just take care of yourself; we will strive to study hard. You don’t need to spend so much money. Aunt said if we get into college, the state provides living expenses, and there’s no tuition fee.
My sister and I will study well, just like aunt and uncle, to ease the burdens on mom and dad, so you won’t have to work so hard. Dad, why don’t you co back and live with mom and us? Don’t you want us anymore?"
The concept of divorce, the two kids didn’t really understand.
Qin Dazhuang got choked up.
He awkwardly glanced at Jiang Xin.
Jiang Xin packed the pancake in her hands, "Big girl, little girl, let’s go! It’s too late, if we get back too late, grandma and grandpa will be worried."
Zhaodi and Ladi nodded, "We know, goodbye, Dad!"
Zhaodi quietly grabbed her dad’s hand, "Dad, do you always set up a stall here? Can I co over to see you? I miss you so much."
Qin Dazhuang’s face was full of tears; he missed his kids too.
But he was the one to bla.
"Good girl, don’t co to see dad. Once dad settles everything, dad will co to pick you and your sister up to play. Be a good girl and listen to mom, wait for dad to co and get you."
Zhaodi nodded; she was too young, a four-year-old child doesn’t understand much.
But naturally had deep love for her father.
The two kids got in the car, Jiang Xin got on her bicycle and left.
Disappeared into the dark night.
Qin Dazhuang covered his face, squatted in front of his cart, and cried.
All this was his own retribution.
Mistakes must be punished, Qin Dazhuang hated himself.
......
Jiang Xiaoxiao returned ho feeling very happy; finally, things were sorted out today.
Mrs. Wu stepped in as the director, and the opening of the hospital won’t be affected.
The remaining task was recruiting doctors.
Old Mrs. Song said, for private hospitals like theirs, generally, doctors from public hospitals wouldn’t want to co. They have secure jobs; why would they co to a private hospital?
In their eyes, a private hospital is no more than a small clinic; generally, doctors wouldn’t want to work at a small clinic.
Unless they were going independent.
This is why Old Mrs. Song wanted to reach out to her students because if personal connections weren’t utilized, likely no one would be willing to co.
Mrs. Wu reassured Jiang Xiaoxiao, told her not to worry too much about hiring doctors.
Go back and look for her students with Old Song, including students of her uncles and uncles-in-law, surely soone would be willing to work at their hospital.
The opening of the hospital must be scheduled early lest those newspapers write unfavorable articles.
Jiang Xiaoxiao wasn’t concerned; the more the newspapers talked about their hospital, the more it served as indirect advertising.
When it opens in the future, a lot of people would likely co to check it out.
At this ti, not many understood the impact of advertising; this was free promotion, and others couldn’t even get it if they wanted!
She originally ca ho late, upon reaching ho, surprisingly Song Moting hadn’t returned, and her second sister also wasn’t back.
Played with Tang Yuan for quite a while, Jiang Xiaoxiao carried Tang Yuan back to their own house.
Gave Tang Yuan a bath, tucked the little guy into the bed, he was already too tired to keep his eyes open.
He was always full of energy, playing from morning to night, during the day at most napping for half an hour before waking, so by night ti, he was so tired he couldn’t open his eyes.
Watching the little chubby Baozi sleeping sprawled out in the bed, Xiao Xiao felt full of tenderness.
This was her precious son, but there was a faint worry inside.
Where did Song Moting go today?
He left too early without saying where he was headed, but hasn’t shown up all day, it was abnormal.
Finally hearing so noise, Jiang Xiaoxiao checked the ti; it was already past eleven.
Hurried out to greet him, indeed it was Song Moting.
He parked the car, opened the gate and ca in, fastening the door.
He turned his head, saw his wife standing at the door, walked over full of smiles, wrapped his arm around Jiang Xiaoxiao’s waist, and entered the house. Jiang Xiaoxiao slled alcohol on him.
Uncomfortable, she pushed him away a bit.
"Didn’t I tell you not to drink and drive? Drunk driving is serious; you’re being repetitive, tonight you can’t sleep in bed with Tang Yuan and ."
Because it’s not the later years, drinking issues among drivers weren’t strictly watched yet.
But Jiang Xiaoxiao didn’t want Song Moting to develop this habit, after all, Song Moting often goes out driving.
If he got used to drinking and driving, eventually sothing would happen.
As the saying goes, always walking by the river, you’ll definitely get your shoes wet.
It’s too late if sothing happened.
Song Moting grabbed Jiang Xiaoxiao back, surely his wife found the alcohol sll botherso, but he was so happy, truly wanting to share his inner joy with her.
Held her tightly, rested his head on her shoulder.
"Xiao Xiao, you know what? I’m really happy, I’ve never been as happy in my life as I am today."
Upon hearing that, Jiang Xiaoxiao softened her body, not pushing him away hard.
This man, usually with a reserved temperant, rarely showed intense emotions.
If he was happy, it was genuine happiness, and his joy was couldn’t be hidden.
"What’s up? What makes you so happy? Share, share! We are a couple after all, share hardships and blessings. Worthy news should naturally be shared with your wife, you know.
Of course, I have good news to share with you too."
Lately, they’ve encountered too many distressing matters; she also wanted to let Song Moting share his happiness today.
"Grandma is awake."
Jiang Xiaoxiao was stunned, what did it an, grandma is awake?
The only one who could be called grandma, apart from Old Mrs. Song, was no one else.
Could it be that grandma was ill?
Jiang Xiaoxiao hurriedly pushed Song Moting, "What’s wrong with grandma? Is grandma sick, what do you an grandma is awake? Did you co back from the hospital? No wonder aside from alcohol, I slled disinfectant on you. Speak up, what’s wrong with grandma?"
Seeing Jiang Xiaoxiao’s anxious look, Song Moting felt touched inside.
Jiang Xiaoxiao wasn’t raised by grandma. To Jiang Xiaoxiao, grandma was practically a stranger.
They only had just over two years of relationship, yet Jiang Xiaoxiao was genuinely devoted to grandpa and grandma.
Not staged, Jiang Xiaoxiao was inherently kind-hearted, kindness in her bones couldn’t be faked.
Even when grandma treated Jiang Xiaoxiao like that, Jiang Xiaoxiao never held any grudge.
Bringing up grandma, she was still this concerned.
He was truly lucky.
Married a good woman.
