Reborn in the 90s, I traded my ex-husband for eight apartments.

Taking a break, Bai Zhenzhu prepared to take Shuo Shuo to the Ge family.

Ge Minjing and Guo Yongliang were busy, so after lunch they went a while later, guessing that the old lady had woken up from her afternoon nap. She took Shuo Shuo by taxi.

Besides cigarettes and alcohol, he also carried a basket of fresh fruit and a clothing bag containing two dresses and two trench coats.

The taxi was parked at the entrance, and there were guards standing outside the compound.

Last time, because they came with Ge Minjing and her group, the guards recognized them and the car drove right in.

This time, no one led the way. Bai Zhenzhu registered at the guard room, and the guard even called the Ge family to confirm her identity before letting her in.

Only the elderly couple and Cui Lan were at home. Cui Lan hung up the phone and waited outside the gate.

"Auntie, auntie."

Shuo Shuo has already recognized people and will greet them on his own without his mother having to call him.

"Yes!" Cui Lan responded loudly.

She loved children, but unfortunately she didn't have time to have a second child back then.

When they wanted to have children, they weren't allowed to anymore.

Families like theirs naturally responded to the call, so Ge ​​Zehua and his two siblings each had only one child.

The second child, Ge Minjun, is a daughter, and the whole family dotes on her.

The three children are all grown up, and Shuo Shuo, their godson, is the youngest, which the elderly couple adores.

"Shuo Shuo is such a good boy. Come inside quickly. Grandpa and Grandma are watching TV inside."

Shuo Shuo ran inside first.

Cui Lan accepted the things Bai Zhenzhu brought and gave her a reproachful look:

"We're all relatives now, so you don't have to be so polite in the future."

Bai Zhenzhu smiled and said:

"Yes, sister-in-law, I'll bring Shuo Shuo back to eat and drink for free from now on."

Cui Lan was curious:

"Why are there still clothes?"

Bai Zhenzhu then said:

“These are from my own shop for my sister-in-law and second sister. I didn’t know your specific sizes and preferences, so I just picked out two sets at random.”

Cui Lan was overjoyed:

"The clothes in your store are very nice. Minjing gave us a wool coat before, and the quality was so good that people thought it was imported from abroad."

As she spoke, she led Bai Zhenzhu inside and eagerly took out the clothes to try them on.

One dress is pure red, and the other is white with black polka dots.

One trench coat was khaki, and the other was black.

Cui Lan fell in love with the polka dot dress and khaki trench coat at first sight.

The other set is for Ge Minjun; solid colors and black suit her better.

Mother Ge was peeling melon seeds for Shuo Shuo when she saw that Bai Zhenzhu had brought so many things, and she scolded her:

"You can't do that again. Shuo Shuo calls us Grandpa and Grandma. This is your maternal home, so don't be so polite."

Grandpa Ge nodded in agreement.

"That's how it should be, we can't be polite."

Bai Zhenzhu smiled and said:

"Uncle Ge, Auntie, I'll definitely come empty-handed next time."

Mother Ge immediately joked:

“You can’t come alone; you have to bring Shuo Shuo along.”

Shuo Shuo immediately said:

"Grandpa and Grandma, next time I come on a business trip with Mom, I'll be able to visit you."

It made the elderly couple extremely happy.

Bai Zhenzhu originally didn't plan to have dinner at the Ge family's house, but Ge's mother and Cui Lan wouldn't let her leave.

In the end, I had no choice but to stay and have dinner.

Seeing that it was getting dark outside and the Ge family's driver was not there, Ge's mother asked Cui Lan to find someone to take Bai Zhenzhu and Shuo Shuo away.

Bai Zhenzhu quickly refused:

"You really don't need to, Auntie, I can just take a taxi."

Mother Ge disagreed:

"That won't do. Those drivers are very reckless, and it's not safe at night."

Since they let Bai Zhenzhu stay for a meal, they must be responsible for the safety of the mother and child.

Cui Lan also said:

"Pearl, please sit down. It's no trouble. Safety first."

He then went outside.

Bai Zhenzhu stopped insisting. She was in an unfamiliar place and was afraid to bring her child.

Cui Lan returned shortly afterward, and could hear footsteps behind her.

She said loudly:

"I originally wanted to find that young man from the Huo family, but he wasn't there. Luckily, Tingting was there, so I asked her to deliver it."

A person who was half a head taller than Cui Lan walked out from behind her.

Bai Zhenzhu was taken aback; it turned out to be someone she knew.

It wasn't that she had a good memory; it was simply that among all the customers she had served, the girl in front of her had an absolutely unique charm.

She was the first short-haired cool girl to buy her leather jacket.

Cui Lan introduced them to each other with a smile:

"Tingting, this is Bai Zhenzhu, and this is her son Shuoshuo, who is your sister Minjing's godson."

"Pearl, this is Zhong Ting, she's from our compound."

Bai Zhenzhu stood up and said with a smile:

"What a coincidence, we've met before."

Cui Lan and the Ge family elders were both taken aback.

"You've actually met before?"

Zhong Ting clearly still remembered Bai Zhenzhu, the beautiful boss who talked nonsense with a straight face.

Nod:

"I met Sister Huaying in Yuan County last year when I accompanied her on a business trip."

Cui Lan laughed heartily:

"What a coincidence! Well then, Tingting, I'll trouble you to take Pearl and her son there."

Zhong Ting nodded again, holding the car keys in her hand.

Bai Zhenzhu and Shuo Shuo then said goodbye to the Ge family.

Shuo Shuo was still reluctant to leave, and like a little adult, he said:

"Grandpa and Grandma, I'll bring Zicheng with me next time. Zicheng said he misses you so much."

The old couple were so touched that tears welled up in their eyes.

The elderly couple had never wronged anyone in their lives, except for their youngest daughter, Ge Minjing.

It just so happened that it was around that time. Even though I was very reluctant, as the children of cadres, we had to take the lead in responding to the call, so I could only send my youngest daughter to the countryside.

In previous years, Ge Minjing would only come back once a year for the Chinese New Year.

Her family wanted to make amends, but she refused.

She felt that her family disliked her for marrying a rough and uncultured man, and looked down on Guo Yongliang, always feeling that there was a distance between her and her family.

Starting last year, Guo Yongliang's business grew bigger and bigger, and he became more and more confident in visiting his wife's family, and he visited them more and more often.

This year in particular, Guo Yongliang has been able to discuss matters with Ge Zehua, and his demeanor has improved significantly compared to before.

They gradually expanded their business to Chengdu.

Ge Zehua had previously suggested that Guo Yongliang come to Chengdu to develop his career, but Guo Yongliang refused.

This person is very concerned about saving face, as if accepting help from her maternal family makes her feel inferior.

This is all thanks to the white pearl.

Every time Ge Minjing came back, she would mention Bai Zhenzhu. The Ge family also knew that if it weren't for Bai Zhenzhu, Guo Yongliang would still be running his small factory.

Business was never as booming as it is now.

It's even less likely that they'll expand their business to Chengdu.

Mother Ge gently touched Shuo Shuo's little face, her expression full of kindness:

"Grandma will be waiting for you to bring Zicheng back to play. Please tell Zicheng that Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle and Aunt miss him."

"And another thing, Uncle has already found a school for Brother Zicheng, and he's just waiting for him to come back and attend high school."

The old lady thought of something and added:

"If Shuo Shuo wants to attend primary school here in the future, I'll ask your uncle to find you a school, okay?"

Shuo Shuo immediately said:

“Okay, I want to come to Rongcheng to study with Brother Zicheng. Thank you, Grandpa and Grandma, and thank you, Uncle and Aunt.”

Cui Lan then said to Bai Zhenzhu:

“This isn’t difficult. Shuo Shuo can start elementary school in the second half of the year, right? Let his uncle handle it.”

Bai Zhenzhu smiled and said:

"Thank you, sister-in-law. I'll have to trouble you then."

What else could she say?

This kid is so easy to take care of.

I took care of all the important things about going to school by myself.
