The most amazing thing about this villa area where the Wang family is located is that it is close to the provincial capital of West Lake.

Every night, as long as you have free time and leisure, you can go to the lake for a walk, to watch the scenery, to chat.

When you walk, chat, and watch the scenery by the lake, while looking at the gently rippling boats on the lake, while enjoying the cool breeze of the gentle lake breeze, that feeling, that kind of comfort, that kind of fun, not to mention how beautiful!

Of course, in this villa area, adjacent to the Wang family, there are more than a dozen single-family villas, which were also bought by several discerning bosses and heads of state-owned enterprises; All that's left is more than twenty townhouses.

The single-family villas in this villa area are roughly the same in size, and the yards of the villas are also roughly the same, with each household having a small yard of about 200 square meters.

Between each villa, there is an asphalt road where cars can meet.

These roads are connected to each other and form a network of passages within the villa area.

In addition, on both sides of all roads, camphor trees are planted that are evergreen all year round.

Especially beside the road next to the West Lake, two rows of old weeping willows with curved trunks are also specially planted;

Underneath the old weeping willows, every twenty meters, a marble chair for two people is installed.

Every spring, summer and autumn, if you come to walk under the old weeping willows, or sit on a marble chair and watch the lake at night, there is only one word:

Break off!

When the developer built the villa area, a two-meter-high wall was built around the villa area, which completely separated the villa area from the downtown area of the provincial capital.

Here, whoever wants to enter and exit the villa area must take the northern passage. Other places are impassable.

The hustle and bustle of the provincial town and the tranquility of the villa area form two very different worlds here.

In this provincial city, whoever can live in this villa area, it is no exaggeration to say that he has lived in the fairyland where the gods live!

It is spring now, and Liping, accompanied by the mayor's wife, is leisurely admiring the flashing lights along the West Lake, watching the boats rippling on the lake, and slowly moving along the path shaded by the weeping willows by the lake, feeling happy and contented.

Accompanying her daughter-in-law on a stroll by the river, the mayor's wife had a special feeling.

She deliberately slowed down and led Liping to walk on the smooth lakeside gravel pavement, but her eyes kept sweeping over her daughter-in-law's visibly protruding belly.

After walking for a while, the mayor's wife couldn't help but ask:

"Girl, have you been making trouble with the child in your belly recently?"

"It's okay, Mom, I feel normal."

Liping said, involuntarily reached out and touched her belly, and glanced at her mother-in-law.

"Well, it's good to be normal! More than 20 years ago, I remember that when I was pregnant with Mengdu, he was not honest in his stomach! When she was five months pregnant, she was constantly kicking in her stomach. So after being born, he has always been naughty and disobedient. ”

The mayor's wife walked by Liping's side while thoughtfully recalling the experience of being pregnant with Mengdu more than 20 years ago.

"Mom, you raised the two brothers Mengdu and Jiandu, and you have suffered a lot in your life."

Liping didn't want to interrupt her mother-in-law's memories, so she followed her words and communicated.

"Isn't it? Jiandu had polio when he was a child, and it was inconvenient to walk, so, in accordance with national policy, I gave birth to Mengdu again. Dreams are different, when I was a child, I was very naughty, I didn't talk about it if I didn't listen carefully in class, and I often fought with other children. Until I was in junior high school, I often fought with my classmates, causing the teacher to come to my home to complain for three days and two days. Fortunately, after he was in high school, he was much more sensible and stopped fighting with his classmates. But he is still playful and doesn't like to go home all day long!

However, it's much better now than it used to be! Especially after marrying you, I am much more sensible than before! You see that he traveled to Western Europe with you, and after returning to China, whether it is talking, doing errands, or making friends, he is much more sophisticated than before! ”

While introducing Mengdu's past experience, the mayor's wife deliberately turned the topic to Liping.

"Mom, Mengdu has been making a lot of progress lately. However, this is all the result of my mother's patient education. ”

Liping didn't dare to take the credit for Mengdu's progress on herself, and hurriedly praised her mother-in-law's credit.

In fact, if you tell the truth, Liping doesn't think that Dream has made any progress; Moreover, Liping felt that not only did her dream not improve, but from a certain point of view, he seemed to have regressed!

In what ways are the regressions?

Liping couldn't tell for a while.

Of course, Liping can only hide such thoughts in her heart and never dare to reveal them to her mother-in-law.

"Girl, you are such a sensible child! To be honest, my mother can have a good daughter-in-law like you, which is really a blessing from the previous life! ”

The mayor's wife was really happy to hear her daughter-in-law say that her son's progress was her credit!

She felt that the daughter-in-law beside her was beautiful, smart, virtuous, and obedient! I was happy in my heart, so I couldn't help but praise Liping.

After taking a few more steps forward, the mayor's wife suddenly said to Liping mysteriously:

"Girl, do you know? Mom has already found you a confinement sister-in-law, 6,000 yuan a month! ”

"Ah, six thousand dollars a month? So expensive! ”

Liping was taken aback when she heard this.

"Ahem, is six thousand dollars still expensive? It's not expensive! Have you ever heard that the confinement lady in Beijing has now risen to 28,000! Moreover, it is such a salary that their business is booked until two years later! With us, 6,000 yuan is a bargain! ”

The mayor's wife explained to her daughter-in-law, as if she was also glad that she was not in Beijing, but in the provincial capital.

"Mom, you said that the salary of the confinement lady in Beijing has risen to 28,000? With such a high salary, where can ordinary people afford it? I really didn't expect that the current confinement lady would be so popular! ”

When Liping heard that the salary of the confinement lady in Beijing had reached 28,000, she was even more surprised and muttered to herself.

"Yes, the current national family planning policy is still only one child per couple. Just one child, who do you say doesn't pay attention to? Hey, girl, watch out, there's a puppy over there! ”

While the mayor's wife was talking, she suddenly saw a small dog coming towards the road they were walking under the marble chair in front of her, and hurriedly reminded Liping to pay attention, and at the same time, she quickly walked in front of Liping, preparing to use her body as an umbrella for her daughter-in-law.

"Mom, you have to watch out for yourself."

Liping glanced at her mother-in-law with emotion, and at the same time turned her head to look at the puppy in front of her.

Strange to say, the little dog seemed to understand the conversation between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and staggered to the middle of the path in front of it, and after a short pause, ran to the lawn beside the road.

"Girl, Mom told you a secret, you must keep it secret!"

Seeing that the "danger alarm" had been lifted, the mayor's wife took two steps forward, and suddenly whispered to Liping.

"Mom, what's the matter, you say, I won't tell anyone!"

Liping made a promise to her mother-in-law.

"Mom has prepared 300,000 cash for you to give birth this time! It's earmarked, and no one is allowed to touch it except you and your children! ”

The mayor's wife told her daughter-in-law the secret very solemnly.

"Ah, do you need so much money to have a baby?!"

Liping screamed softly in shock again.

To be honest, Liping never thought that her mother-in-law would attach so much importance to herself and the child in her belly, and be so "partial"!

At the same time, she was also flattered that her mother-in-law could spend a lot of money on her children.

300,000!

If you make money on your own, I'm afraid you won't be able to save 300,000 yuan in this life!

"Of course, you have to prepare more money!"

The mayor's wife saw Liping's surprised appearance, and a smug smile appeared on her face.

After a while, the mayor's wife continued:

"Girl, tell me, every parent is working hard to make money, why do they make money? Isn't it just for the children! As long as the children are well, we are adults, sweeter than anything we eat, and more satisfied than what we wear! However, as I told you just now, you must not tell anyone about this! Even dreams can't be said! Because Mengdu's mouth lacks a guard. In case it gets out of his mouth, it's trouble!

I can tell you, back then, when Jiandu and his wife got married, oh, when Jiandu and Yalan got married, guess how much money I spent? I only spent less than 30,000 wow! Therefore, I have prepared 300,000 yuan for you to have a child, and you must never let Yalan know! In case she knows, our Wang family is going to have an earthquake! Do you have to remember?! ”

The mayor's wife told Liping again and again.

"Mom, don't worry, I won't tell anyone. It's just that we don't have to spend so much money, right? If we can save it, let's save it. ”

While reassuring the mayor's wife, Liping also said what she thought in her heart.

"No, you can't save a penny of money that should be spent! I'm finally going to hold my grandson, no matter how much it costs, I'm happy in my heart! Let me tell you, for the sake of my soon-to-be-born grandson, I have asked someone to go to Shanghai to buy a pure gold heart lock for him! When your grandson is two years old, you can wear a heart lock! ”

"Mom, you're so thoughtful, and you're thinking far ahead!"

For her mother-in-law's eccentricity, care and confidence, Liping was moved in her heart.

Of course, she didn't know where the 300,000 yuan she said her mother-in-law came from.

And the mayor's wife will never tell her this secret!

In fact, the 300,000 yuan prepared by the mayor's wife is part of the 600,000 yuan in cash that Jiang Wenhua, the general manager of the provincial Huayuan Construction Company, gave to the Wang family after he won the bid for the project in order to thank Vice Mayor Wang.

On last year's National Day, when Liping and Mengdu got married, most of the 600,000 cash was spent; But at the wedding ceremony, the guests who attended the wedding gave a lot of gifts.

Therefore, the 600,000 cash sent by Mr. Jiang, excluding the part of the expenses, plus the gift money recovered, finally left about 350,000.

For the remaining 350,000 yuan in cash, the mayor's wife has already made a good calculation:

50,000 yuan is used to invite confinement maids and other expenses, and 300,000 yuan is used to nourish Liping's body, buy imported milk powder for her grandson, various high-end nutritional products, as well as high-end clothing, high-end toys and so on!

Good steel is used on the blade, and money is spent on the node!

The mayor's wife and Liping just talked, walked, walked, talked, and after walking for about half an hour, the two of them went back to the gate of the Wang family.

According to the usual practice, the mayor's wife took out the key to open the door, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law went home safely.
