After being reborn, I raised my childhood sweetheart.

Chapter 29 I've also reached the age where I need a nice car

"I am willing!"

"Me, me too!"

When school ended in the afternoon, after hearing Xu Yuan's plan to invite the two of them to the amusement park, Xia Ke and Lin Yueyao agreed without hesitation, their faces filled with excitement.

That was agreed way too quickly...

Xu Yuan helplessly rubbed his forehead.

However, this is normal.

After all... even if the equipment is simple and boring, it's still an amusement park!

In a small county town where material conditions are not abundant, there are amusement parks, KFC, and McDonald's.

These novel locations that appear on television have an almost fatal attraction for children, making them seem like sacred places.

This is usually a reward that is only given after achieving a very strict goal set by the parents, such as getting first place in an exam.

Xu Jingguang casually thought of taking Xu Yuan along and even asked Xu Yuan to invite his friends to go with him. The power of the rich was immediately embodied at that moment.

"Then, remember to tell your family."

"that……"

Lin Yueyao took the initiative to ask, "Is Uncle Xu taking us out to play?"

Xu Yuan nodded. "Then on Sunday, I'll have my dad drive to pick you up from home."

Xia Ke wiggled her finger. "How can that be! We'll meet at your house on Sunday. Uncle Xu is a big boss, and the time he spends with us is very precious. We can't waste it."

"He's not the big boss you're imagining..."

Xu Yuan came to Lin Yueyao's side and gently nudged her thin arm. "Are you still worried that your extracurricular activities will be discovered?"

Lin Yueyao first shook her head subconsciously, then nodded gently, and tugged at Xu Yuan's sleeve, asking:

"Didn't Uncle Xu check your study progress?"

"My dad just hopes that I can go out more, experience more life, and make more friends."

Xu Yuan said, "As for academic achievements and such... that's a relatively minor thing in our family."

"very nice."

Lin Yueyao smiled and nodded, "Uncle Xu is such a good father."

"Then I'll share my dad with you, do you want him?"

Xu Yuan gently pinched Lin Yueyao's little face, "You'll become my god-sister, then my dad will be your dad too!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yueyao quickly pushed Xu Yuan away. She puffed out her cheeks, glared at Xu Yuan, and then turned her head away.

The setting sun shone on her slightly chubby profile, making her look rosy and adorable.

Lin Yueyao's attitude towards Xu Yuan is no longer as reserved as it was at the beginning, nor does she passively let Xu Yuan bully her. She can occasionally put up some resistance.

This change made Xu Yuan feel very gratified, and he even felt that his Yueyao had finally grown up.

After all, the fact that they are willing to play around and joke around means that their relationship is getting closer.

If someone always obeys your every word and submits to your every whim, then you've truly found a servant instead of raising a childhood sweetheart, which is no fun at all.

Sunday arrived quickly, which was usually Xu Jingguang's busiest day of the week. This time, he made a special effort to spend time with his son and enjoy quality family time together.

It has to be said that this is the advantage of being a boss: you only need to develop the big strategic plan and meet important clients, and the hotel can operate normally even if you don't need to do it.

In my previous life, I worked hard in big cities after graduation. I would think twice before asking for even half a day off, for fear of making a mistake in my performance evaluation. It's quite sad to think about.

After lunch, Lin Jing was busy airing out the quilts in the courtyard. Lin Yueyao, who had come with her, didn't rest but helped her mother, handing her clothes racks and clean clothes.

Seeing this heartwarming scene outside the window, Xu Jingguang was deeply moved:
"Yueyao is such a young child, yet she already knows how to help her mother with her work. She's such a sensible and good child."

He didn't say his "reflection" aloud, but his gaze was already fixed on Xu Yuan.

“I also want to help my dad with his work.”

Xu Yuan said earnestly, "Dad, can you give me this chance? I don't ask for much. Just lend me 100,000 yuan, and I guarantee I can earn back 10 million yuan in less than three years."

"Okay, stop fooling around..."

Xu Jingguang smiled and patted Xu Yuan's head, "I'm already very pleased that you have this intention."

It seems the father completely took his son's words as a joke.

Tch, this humble child is still too young to convince his father to invest in his business.

I must grow up quickly!

Xu Jingguang doesn't like being waited on, so his family had never hired a nanny before.

He couldn't resist watching Lin Jing busy with housework, so he went to the yard to chat with her.

"Um, Kobayashi, is there anything else you need to do? I'll help out."

"No need, no need, that's the nanny's job, please don't do it."

Lin Jing said, "You men don't pack things carefully. Next time I come looking for something, I won't know where you put it."

……

I was rejected.

Xu Jingguang straightened his collar, coughed a few times, and then said, "Well... Xiao Lin, if you're free this afternoon, would you like to go to the amusement park with us?" "I won't go. I still have chores to do at home. I just hope you guys have fun."

Lin Jing's sense of boundaries was stronger than Xu Jingguang had expected. Although he was just being polite, Lin Jing's decisive refusal made him feel frustrated.

Just as he was pondering how to praise Lin Yueyao and get closer to her, Lin Jing said to Lin Yueyao:

"Yueyao, when we get to the amusement park, listen to your Uncle Xu and don't run around, okay?"

"Got it, Mom."

Lin Jing and Lin Yueyao looked at each other for a while, then suddenly burst out laughing. Lin Jing squatted down and flicked Lin Yueyao's nose.

"Are you happy now? You can finally go to the amusement park."

"Um……"

Xu Jingguang was also very interested in this topic: "Has Yueyao not been to an amusement park in a long time?"

Lin Jing nodded and explained, "It's quite a coincidence. I originally planned to take her to the amusement park for her birthday last month, but I lost my job and didn't feel like taking her."

"Well, since it's such a coincidence, why don't you go with the child?"

Xu Jingguang said, "Yueyao must also want her mother to go with her, right?"

His intention was simply to be kinder to Lin Yueyao, but Lin Yueyao shook her head, "Mom...Mom has things to do, she doesn't want to go."

"That's it..."

Lin Yueyao knew her mother definitely didn't want to go, so she and Lin Jing reached a very close mother-son understanding.

Because if Mom goes too, it would be disrespectful to Uncle Xu if she pays for it herself, but if she goes, it would make Uncle Xu spend money, and Mom would definitely mind that.

Sure enough, after Lin Yueyao said those words, Lin Jing also gave her daughter an approving look.

My arrogant dad got politely rejected by Aunt Lin Jing. I'm dying of laughter.

Xu Yuan, who was watching the drama unfold, was thoroughly enjoying himself, as the interactions between the characters had a romantic drama vibe to them.

I, Xu Jingguang, am so powerful and influential that other women are vying to invite me to the amusement park. How dare you refuse me? You're incredibly bold.

Hmph, woman, you've successfully caught my attention! Like this.

It always feels very interesting.

Unfortunately, my dad doesn't have that domineering CEO vibe; he always seems easy to bully.

For Xu Yuan now, Xu Jingguang opening a hotel is something from many years ago.

Therefore, Xu Yuan really couldn't imagine how his father, with such a gentle personality, could manage a hotel team of more than two hundred people.

The Jinxiu Jiangnan Hotel, operated by Xu Yuan's family, has four major shareholders. Xu Jingguang holds nearly 60% of the shares and has absolute control over the hotel.

Therefore, although he is the chairman in name only, he is not addressed so formally in the county. People usually just call him General Manager Xu or Boss Xu.

But this boss doesn't have his own driver, nor does he have a secretary or assistant. He's always with his children, which is a bit too down-to-earth...

At the same time, Xu Jingguang had only been feeling dejected for a short while when a loud and cheerful tune drifted from outside the courtyard:
To get through tomorrow, first make the most of today; keep your sights set on the goal.

[Crackling and popping, crackling and popping, time to slack off!]

[Crackling and popping, crackling and popping, studying is so hard—]

[Crackling and popping, crackling and popping, we go out to play every day—]

This song sounds so familiar, it's the Chinese theme song from "Chibi Maruko-chan," right...?

Did she change the lyrics?
Xia Ke appeared in everyone's sight on her scooter, and immediately greeted them with a smile upon seeing them:
"Ah, Uncle Xu! Young Master, I'm here! Ah, Aunt Lin and Yueyao are here too! Is everyone waiting for me?!"

Xia Ke pushed her scooter into the yard. Lin Yueyao curiously went over to look at Xia Ke's scooter. Xu Yuan also came out of the house at this time and looked at Xia Ke's new toy.

"Your scooter is pretty good," Xu Yuan complimented.

She looks quite good-looking.

Xia Ke explained, "My dad bought this scooter for me yesterday. He said I'm old enough to have a nice scooter now."

……

A scooter is a vehicle, no problem.

However, Xia Ke's home is indeed quite far from Xu Yuan's place; it takes about twenty minutes to walk there.

Since Xia Ke often comes over to play, Xia Lei simply got his daughter a car. Although it's not much faster, his daughter likes it, and in a few years she should be riding a bicycle.

For some reason, the first thing that comes to Xu Yuan's mind when he thinks of bicycles is the scene of Xia Ke sitting on the back of his bicycle, waving goodbye to her father.

Xu Yuan seemed eager to see Old Deng's expression when he broke down, perhaps because he had some peculiar fetish.

Xia Ke parked her scooter in Xu Yuan's yard, then skipped over to Xu Jingguang. "Uncle Xu, I'm ready!"

"Alright, now that everyone's here, let's head to the amusement park!"

Xu Jingguang led the children to the car and opened the door.

"Come on, get in the car, kids."

"I want to sit in the middle!"

"Have fun!" Lin Jing smiled and waved to the children.

Goodbye, Aunt Lin!

　The ending theme song for Chibi Maruko-chan is really good in Chinese. If you haven't heard it, you should definitely give it a listen!
