Chapter 3: Picking Up the Daughter
Shangguan Ru stopped as she spoke, opened Xiaomei's backpack, and there was really a stack of money in it, estimated to be a thousand yuan at most.
Shangguan Ru said to Xiaomei, "You wait here." ”
turned around and walked to Ma Zhongnan, who had not yet gone upstairs, handed him the money, looked at him for a full minute before saying:
"This money is the largest amount of money I have passed through in the past few years since I married into your Ma family, it is ridiculous to think about it, but I don't need it now, whether it is given to me or to Xiaomei, I will not accept this money."
After speaking, Shangguan Ru turned around and left.
Ma Zhongnan said later, "I can bear Xiaomei's child support." ”
Shangguan Ru raised his hand without replying, shook his hand and replied:
"No need, I can afford to raise my daughter, but you can still say a word with a conscience."
There was a bit of a traffic jam on the way back, but it didn't take long to have a chirping daughter beside me.
When I returned downstairs to Chen Meifeng's house, it was already half past seven, and Shangguan Ru bought a toothbrush and a face towel downstairs and hurried upstairs.
Chen Meifeng lives on the third floor, the second floor is the dining room, the door is open, Shangguan Ru walked in with her suitcase, Xiaomei herself followed behind and walked in, not only Chen Meifeng was sitting on the sofa in the room, but also a young couple, about twenty-three or four years old.
As soon as Chen Meifeng saw Shangguan Ru coming in, she smiled and walked over to take Shangguan Ru's suitcase, and then saw the cute follower Xiaomei behind Shangguan Ru, she was so happy that she forgot to introduce the young couple to Shangguan Ru, and pulled Xiaomei on the ground and asked, "Are you called Xiaomei, cute little girl." ”
Xiaomei looked at Chen Meifeng, her eyes turned around, but she was not called Chen Meifeng.
Shangguan Ru saw that Xiaomei was not calling people, so he asked, "Xiaomei, why don't you call people." ”
"Mom, I want to call someone, but I haven't figured out what to call it yet."
"It's good to call Grandma Chen."
"But I don't like the word grandma, and she's not like grandma."
Chen Meifeng laughed when she heard it, and jokingly said to Xiaomei, "Or call Grandma." ”
After hearing this, Xiaomei happily called Auntie Hello, and then pouted Chen Meifeng's face.
Chen Meifeng was so happy that she picked up Xiaomei, kissed her little cheek, and then pinched Xiaomei's face and said:
"She looks as beautiful as your mother, but her face is a little bad, it's okay, my aunt will make it more beautiful when you make it up for you.
Shangguan Ru was a little embarrassed by Chen Meifeng, in the Ma family, it was not Shangguan Ru's turn to call the shots, and she couldn't buy something good for Xiaomei to eat.
Seeing Chen Meifeng holding Xiaomei, she was obviously a little tired, so she quickly took Xiaomei from Chen Meifeng's hand, put her on the ground and said:
"Look, if you are tired of your aunt, you will have to have a sweeter mouth in the future."
"Oh, people know."
Chen Meifeng was even more happy, with such a child here, it is estimated that the future will not be so lonely, just turned his head and saw the young couple sitting on the sofa, patted his forehead and said:
"You see, when people are old, they forget things, and they haven't introduced them to you yet."
Chen Meifeng pointed to the couple and said to Shangguan Ru:
"They are the couple who live on the fifth floor, the man's name is Lin Weijie, the woman's name is Xie Feifei, you can call them Xiaojie and Xiaofei, I just asked Xiaojie to help you check the gas and water heater, so I just asked them to eat together."
When Shangguan Ru heard this, he immediately walked over and said thank you to Lin Weijie and Xie Feifei.
Lin Weijie was obviously a little shy when he met Shangguan Ru, a big beauty, but he just smiled and said, "No thanks." ”
Xie Feifei was much more lively, and walked over to Shangguan Ru and said:
"Hello Sister Shangguan, you are so beautiful, the daughter you gave birth to is also so beautiful, and then said to Xiaomei; Hello little sister. ”
Xiaomei shouted at Xie Feifei and Lin Weijie:
"Uncle, auntie, it's not right for you to call me little sister, I call you aunt."
Xiaomei's words made everyone laugh, and Chen Meifeng laughed and beckoned everyone to walk to the dining hall and start eating.
Lin Weijie and the others probably often eat here at Chen Meifeng, and they are familiar with the way to fill the bowl with rice.
Xie Feifei smiled and said:
"We all eat at Auntie's place a lot of times a month, and the rent we pay is not enough to pay for food, hehe."
Chen Meifeng waved her hand and said with a smile:
"What are you talking about, the fruits you usually buy are always sent to Auntie, it's not money, Auntie's picture now is how lively a person is, how good it is to eat and chat together happily."
After eating, everyone sat back on the sofa to drink tea and chat, and Chen Meifeng tuned the TV to a cartoon channel for Xiaomei to watch.
Lin Weijie sat down in the seat of making tea and rushed kung fu tea, Shangguan Ru planned to go out to find a job, but Xiaomei had no one to bring her, and she had to be sent to kindergarten for care.
Thinking of this, I asked Chen Meifeng:
"Auntie, I want to find a job in the next few days, I want to find a kindergarten for Xiaomei, do you know that there is a private nursery here?"
Before Chen Meifeng could answer, Xie Feifei said to Shangguan Ru quickly:
"Sister Shangguan, you are asking the right person, Auntie used to be the director of the neighborhood committee here, and it shouldn't be difficult to find a kindergarten."
Chen Meifeng said to Shangguan Ru with a smile at this time:
"There are two kindergartens on the street, there is no problem with this, I will go and ask you tomorrow."
Shangguan Ru was a little embarrassed and said:
"But Xiaomei hasn't registered yet, so she shouldn't be able to go to a public kindergarten, and I plan to go to Xiaomei in two days to get a household registration."
Chen Meifeng didn't expect that Xiaomei was four years old and had not yet entered the household registration, but looking back, it seems that only men can enter the Ma family's household registration, and it is estimated that Shangguan Ru wants to enter the household registration back to her hometown.
Chen Meifeng said to Shangguan Ru:
"It's okay, you go and read it after you finish your hukou, Xiaomei will let me go here for a while, and you can find your job with peace of mind."
At this time, Lin Weijie, who was making tea, asked Shangguan Ru, "Sister Shangguan, what did you do before." ”
Shangguan Ru blushed and replied:
"I haven't gone out to work until now, I got married in a hurry after finishing my studies, and then it's a matter of firewood, rice, oil and salt, hehe."
Lin Weijie was a little surprised and asked, "Sister Shangguan, you are a college student." ”
"Yes, I graduated from the Department of Business Administration of Nanjing University."
Xie Feifei was also surprised and said:
"Famous schools, the top ten schools in the country," Xie Feifei didn't expect Shangguan Ru to be a college student from a famous school.
Lin Weijie didn't dare to speak when he heard this, just smiled with a red face and continued to make his tea.
Shangguan Ru was originally a smart person, but seeing that Lin Weijie didn't dare to speak when she heard that she was a college student, she asked with a smile:
"Xiaojie, you can say what you want to say just now, it's okay, I don't have any work experience at all now, and people don't have to be me when they go to the company."
