Rebirth and making money first

In the early morning, sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains. Zhang Jing and Achen were stretching in bed, getting ready to start a new day. Yawning, they slowly dressed and made their beds.

At this moment, there was a gentle knock on the door, and then the door was slowly pushed open, and it turned out to be my mother-in-law who walked in. She was holding a thermos bucket, a bag with a few boiled eggs, and a few fragrant pancakes.

"Jingjing, Achen, hurry up and eat breakfast while it's hot!" the mother-in-law said softly, afraid to wake the little girl who was still asleep. After that, she put the things on the table, then walked into the room and leaned over to look at the small figure inside.

Seeing the little girl's rosy face sleeping peacefully, the mother-in-law lowered her voice, her face full of love. She carefully reached out her hand and gently touched the child's soft hair.

"This child sweated a lot last night. You have to pay more attention to her and take good care of her. Don't set the air conditioner temperature too low. It would be bad if she catches a cold." The mother-in-law turned to Zhang Jing and Achen and instructed.

After hearing this, Zhang Jing couldn't help but mutter to herself, "I seriously doubt that Achen has never enjoyed such gentle and meticulous care since he was a child." At this time, Achen also came over and looked at his mother-in-law and children, seeming to be in a trance.

"Hey, what are you two standing there looking at? Go wash up first, and then come over for breakfast! I'll take care of the child, don't worry. I really don't know how you dare to take over the child? Do the parents trust you? You can't even take care of a child. I told you a long time ago that it would be best to just leave the child with me, but you just didn't listen!" The mother-in-law scolded the two of them impatiently.

Just as the mother-in-law's incessant chatter filled the room, the little girl, who had been immersed in a sweet dream, suddenly moved her chubby little hands and feet. She frowned slightly, as if slightly dissatisfied with the disturbing noise, and then slowly opened her big eyes, bright as black gemstones.

The moment the mother-in-law saw Natuanzi wake up, her expression instantly changed 180 degrees. The serious and nagging look she had just had disappeared without a trace, replaced by endless tenderness and kindness. Like an old hen constantly guarding her chicks, she couldn't wait to rush to the bedside.

"Oh my, my sweetheart, you are finally awake! Look how many delicious things grandma has brought you! There is fragrant and sweet lean meat porridge, and freshly cooked white and tender boiled eggs, as well as those big pancakes that are fragrant, crispy and delicious! My dear baby, let's get up and go pee first, okay? Come on, grandma will carry you out of bed~" The mother-in-law coaxed the little girl softly in a soft voice, while stretching out her hands to pick her up from the bed.

Zhang Jing on the side was completely dumbfounded. You know, this fat girl is famous for refusing to be touched by strangers. No one except herself and the child's parents can touch her easily.

However, today, something unexpected happened - the fat girl actually let her mother-in-law hold her in her arms without any intention of struggling or resisting. For a moment, both the old and the young were grinning from ear to ear, and the house instantly became lively because of this warm and harmonious scene.

Before leaving, the mother-in-law was reluctant to let her go, saying that she would buy some delicious food for the little girl after get off work. The clever little girl immediately said sweetly: "Goodbye, grandma! You must be good and wait for me after get off work. Don't be naughty or run around! Otherwise, you will be caught by bad guys and you will never see me again!"

Zhang Jing, feeling both amused and helpless, watched as her mother-in-law nodded solemnly and promised Naituanzi with a serious face: "I won't run around or be naughty. I'll wait for you to get off work! I will definitely not let the bad guys catch me and run away, don't worry!" Naituanzi happily asked her mother-in-law to squat down, pouted her little mouth, and kissed her on the face: "This is a reward!" The mother-in-law was happy and kissed Naituan as well: "This is also a reward!"

Seeing that time was almost up, Zhang Jing separated the grandparents and grandchildren and hurriedly took the child to catch the bus with Achen. There were not many people at this station, mostly middle school students.

The girl started asking questions at her seat, attracting quite a few young men and women. Zhang Jing asked her, "Xuan, what do you want for lunch?" She replied confidently, "Instant noodles! You have a bowl, I have a bowl."

Zhang Jing suppressed her laughter and asked, "I don't want to eat instant noodles."

The little girl blinked her big eyes and said, "Auntie, instant noodles are delicious, really, you should eat it!"

Zhang Jing teased her, "Where have you eaten this before? Did your mother cook it for you?"

"My mom doesn't let me eat it. She says instant noodles are junk food and children are not allowed to eat them! I went to the supermarket and a sister cooked it for me. I ate three cups! It was so delicious!" The little guy gestured with his chubby hands and smacked his lips with satisfaction.

Everyone around laughed at the little girl's sweet voice. One passenger asked Zhang Jing, "Is this your child? How clever!" Zhang Jing smiled and nodded, then asked, "You're going to take a nap in my dorm at noon. Will you wet the bed?"

The girl rolled her eyes and said, "I'm two and a half, not a two-year-old. I'll pee before going to bed, and you can wake me up!" As the car swayed, the passengers laughed. The students also looked at her and smiled, praising her as "so cute!"

Under the kind gazes of the crowd, Zhang Jing led her out of the car. Ah Chen followed, bag in hand. Zhang Jing told him not to see her off, but he wouldn't listen. Waving Ah Chen goodbye, Zhang Jing checked in at the security office. Seeing the nursing home's sightseeing bus, she immediately stopped it, got the child on board, and headed back to headquarters. Along the way, the child looked around curiously, shouting excitedly. Zhang Jing quickly told her to shut up, lest dust get in her mouth.

After Zhang Jing clocked in, she took the lovely little girl to the dormitory to put her belongings away. They carefully arranged their belongings and then went to the bathroom to wash their hands thoroughly. Once everything was ready, Zhang Jing gently took the little girl's soft hand and slowly walked towards the office.

Along the way, this delicate little girl, like a shining pearl, attracted warm greetings from everyone around her. Faced with everyone's enthusiasm, Zhang Jing remained patient, smiling and explaining to everyone the little one's identity and purpose of their visit.

Finally, they arrived at the director's office. As soon as the director saw the little guy, a kind and joyful smile immediately bloomed on her face. She said kindly, "Welcome to our nursing home to play, little friend!" However, unexpectedly, the little guy replied seriously, "I'm not here to play, I'm here to work!" Hearing these innocent words, the director was stunned at first, then she couldn't help laughing and quickly changed the subject, saying, "So that's how it is. Then welcome Xuanxuan to work here!"

As expected, this adorable little girl quickly delighted the elderly residents of the nursing home. During their morning exercise, she bravely stood at the front of the group, mimicking the movements with the others. Zhang Jing, quietly standing by, could truly sense the residents' joy. Not only did the caregivers beam at the little one's innocent appearance, but even some of the elderly residents burst into laughter. Observing this heartwarming scene, Zhang Jing suddenly realized that children truly are the light of hope for the future. In that moment, she clearly saw the innocence and beauty shining brightly.

Li Xiangyue saw the child smile and gave her some snacks. The little bag of milk balls was already filled with people's love. Zhang Jing emptied it twice, but still couldn't stop everyone's enthusiasm.

At lunch, Li Xiangyue brought her own special meal and a bowl of steamed eggs. Zhang Jing also prepared the food, and Naituanzi ate with her own bowl. Seeing this, Li Xiangyue smiled. Zhang Jing asked her not to bother her in the future, and she would take the child to the cafeteria to eat. Li Xiangyue said, "How much can a child eat? Can't I, as his aunt, prepare a special meal for him? Don't be stubborn, let's eat together."

Zhang Jing knew she couldn't refuse, so she simply took out 300 yuan and said, "Don't refuse, use it as a snack. The child is young, and you're taking so much trouble. I really don't know what to feed her."

Li Manyue said: "Then I will accept it, and I will take care of it myself when the time comes. Starting tomorrow, you can come to my dormitory to eat together after you get your food."

After the two of them agreed, they went their separate ways. Zhang Jing tidied the little girl and put her to bed for a nap. Before she even woke up, she received a call from Zhang Zhi. The little girl immediately jumped out of bed and rushed to talk to her mother. Kinship is truly a magical thing! While responding to her mother's instructions of "be obedient," "don't make trouble," and "mom will be back soon," the little girl proudly told her mother, "I'm at work! I'm doing well."

Zhang Jing sat on the edge of the bed, quietly listening to the voice coming from the other end of the phone while gently wiping her face with a towel. Meanwhile, the adorable little girl beside her blinked her big eyes, tightly gripped her phone, and kept mumbling something.

After a while, Naituanzi handed the phone to Zhang Jing and said in a baby voice, "Auntie, my mother asked you to answer the phone."

Zhang Jing took the phone with a smile and said impatiently, "What else? We need to take a nap!"

Zhang Zhi on the other end of the phone asked, "What time are you taking a nap? Have you eaten yet? How's my precious daughter? She actually told me she's at work. She's only two and a half, what the hell is she supposed to be working for? Are you guys home now?"

When Naituanzi heard this, she was very unhappy. She quickly went to the phone and shouted in dissatisfaction, "I really started working. The director even agreed!"

Seeing this, Zhang Jing quickly reached out and gently stroked the little head of the milk ball, saying softly, "Yes, yes, our baby has gone to work. Be good and lie down quickly. Auntie wants to talk to your mother."

Seeing Naituanzi lying back down in bed, Zhang Jing finally felt relieved and began to tell Zhang Zhi about Naituanzi. She told Zhang Zhi that she had brought Naituanzi with her to work today. The little one had been a star at the nursing home, adored by everyone. After all, she was the only such a lively and adorable child in the entire facility! She was incredibly happy all day. In the morning, she even did morning exercises with the other residents, looking incredibly serious.

Even her mother-in-law and other family members dote on her. She is simply the sweetheart of the whole family.

"She seems to be having a good time. My father-in-law even said he wants to take her home! I think I'd better leave her with you for now. Just take care of her. I'll be back in two weeks."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Jing went to bed for a nap. What Zhang Jing liked most about the nursing home was the long nap time. Sometimes, after eating at 11:15, she could sleep until : in the afternoon without anyone asking her to.
