I Became Super Rich After Resigning-Chapter 284: Zhuazhou
Chapter 284: Chapter 284: Zhuazhou
After Liang Suisui’s wedding, it was the first birthday of the two children.
Yuan Xi also invited Chu Qing and Yang Ying from Jiang City, along with Uncle Liang and Aunt Liang. As for the elderly, who were getting on in years, Yuan Xi planned to bring the two children to spend the New Year with them later.
On the day of the children’s first birthday, not only did Chu Qing and Yang Ying come, but Chu Lin and Cheng Yue also attended.
Cheng Yue’s belly was already big, and Yuan Xi couldn’t simply turn away guests, which also served as giving Cheng Yue some face.
Yang Ying, looking at the two children who could already walk, asked, "When did An An and Lele start walking?"
"Just a few days ago," Yuan Xi said with a light laugh.
Yang Ying looked at Yuan Xi with a sense of guilt, after all, she regretted missing Yuan Xi’s first steps, but thankfully, she didn’t miss her grandchildren’s.
Today, the Fu Mansion was very bustling and lively. Although the children’s first birthday was not celebrated on a large scale, Yuan Xi and Huo Shiyuan still had three or four tables of close friends and relatives.
The Fu Mansion is right next to the Huo Family’s old house, so the relatives from the Fu Family were also invited to the children’s first birthday feast today.
It was the first time the elders of the Fu Family met the elders of the Liang Family.
The parents of Fu Qin felt that their daughter’s pregnancy and her choice of a young boyfriend were absurd, but since Fu Qin has always had her own opinions, as parents, they could only turn a blind eye, albeit still concerned.
Today, upon encountering Liang Hao’s parents, Fu Qin’s parents naturally did not show a good face, but it was not appropriate to display displeasure at someone else’s child’s birthday celebration.
Seeing the disdain from Fu Qin’s parents towards her own uncle’s family, Yuan Xi went over and whispered quietly to her uncle and aunt, "Uncle, Aunt, those two are Fu Qin’s parents..."
Uncle Liang and Aunt Liang, upon hearing Yuan Xi say this, hurriedly went over to exchange pleasantries; their own son was indeed at fault.
Seeing how Yuan Xi was involved, Fu Qin’s parents didn’t make things too difficult for Uncle Liang and Aunt Liang, after all, it wasn’t the right time for difficulties.
At their stature, Fu Qin’s parents had seen all sorts of people. Seeing that Liang Hao’s parents were genuinely honest folks, they did not make it too hard on them.
"My dear grandchild!"
Shi Zhen came in from outside and immediately took Lele from Yang Ying’s arms. "Sweetheart, happy first birthday. Today, grandma made you a birthday cake personally."
Lele looked very happy to see Shi Zhen, waving her little hands.
After the birthday party, Lele and An An participated in a grabbing ritual. Lele and An An crawled over; Lele grabbed a game console, and An An grabbed a gold bar.
Yuan Xi, looking at the game console in An An’s hands, turned to Huo Shiyuan and asked, "Who put the game console up there?"
Although Yuan Xi felt it was sufficient for Lele to be safe and happy for a lifetime, given the wealth she and Huo Shiyuan possessed, which was enough for Lele’s extravagant spending through multiple generations, as a mother, she not only wanted her daughter to have a safe and happy life but also had high hopes for her daughter’s future. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
Previously, Yuan Xi did not understand Huo Shiyuan’s strict upbringing for Xiao Shihuo, nor did she understand why even Shi Zhen would choose to push her child to extremes.
She even less understood why many female colleagues, in order to get their children into good schools, would even choose to resign.
But after having children, Yuan Xi understood that indulging children in fun and games was not entirely good for them; pushing them to reach the pinnacle of success with all her might was what truly mattered.
Naturally, Yuan Xi did not wish for Lele to choose the game console.
Huo Shiyuan also frowned and said, "How could a game console appear?"
Gu Hanchen stepped out from the crowd, took Little Lele into his arms, and said, "I put it there, worthy of being the future daughter-in-law I’ve chosen. Choosing the game console means she will take over Mi Chen Game in the future."
Lele tightly clutched the game console and smiled at Gu Hanchen.
Hearing Gu Hanchen’s explanation, Yuan Xi also smiled lightly; if Lele could take over Mi Chen Game, she would indeed be happy to see it happen.
After the grabbing ritual, everyone started taking family photos.
Lele and An An cooperated nicely in taking photographs, creating a harmonious family scene.
Ren Tian watched from the side as Yuan Xi, sitting in the center for the family photo, was envied by her. Under the presence of elders from both Huo Shi’s families, Yuan Xi holding the child and sitting in the middle was enough to prove the respect the elders from both sides of Huo Shi’s family had towards Yuan Xi.
Every photograph captured the smiling faces at the first birthday celebration but couldn’t capture the passage of time itself.
After the children turned one, Yuan Xi could clearly feel that the children were changing every day. The toddlers, now able to walk, interacted more and became even more adorable.
Yuan Xi felt unwilling to miss any moment of the children’s lives, and as a result, she often worked from home.
By March, the children became more clingy, and inevitably started to fight with each other.
Even if she bought two identical toys, they would still fight over the same one.
Fighting over toys was still manageable, but there was only one Yuan Xi, often when she held Lele, An An would cry, and when she held An An, Lele would cry.
Yuan Xi, who has always disliked exercise, was now able to carry both children at the same time.
Sometimes while napping with the children, they would still fight over which direction Yuan Xi’s face was turned towards.
For Yuan Xi, this was a sweet burden. She used to think that the online posts about twins fighting were just jokes, until she witnessed her own children fighting, making her believe those stories.
Two children, not even fully grown their milk teeth, would argue over objects in babbling baby talk.
Luckily, Yuan Xi had Huo Shiyan’s help. Huo Shiyan’s solution to the children’s conflicts was simple—if the children were both overly demanding of Yuan Xi, he would just take Yuan Xi away.
That would stop the children from causing any more trouble.
In late April, Liang Suisui and Chen Yuan each had a child, Liang Suisui had a son, and Chen Yuan had a daughter.
Liang Suisui, envious of the daughter, even wished to propose switching children with Chen Yuan.
Of course, Shi Lei and Chen Yuan wouldn’t agree to Liang Suisui’s unreasonable request.
After getting through the confinement period, Liang Suisui planned to recuperate and try to get pregnant again, hoping for a daughter.
Yuan Xi greatly admired Liang Suisui’s audacity.
Dragon Boat Festival.
Yuan Xi and Huo Shiyan returned to Jiangcheng Chu Family, partly to celebrate the festival at home and partly to attend their little niece’s hundred days celebration.
This was the first time Yuan Xi saw her little niece after her birth. Cheng Yue and Chu Lin’s daughter was born in February.
Yuan Xi hadn’t been back to Jiang City recently and naturally, it was her first time meeting the little niece.
On the day of the child’s hundred-day celebration, Yuan Xi and Huo Shiyan left City A early in the morning for Jiang City.
Lele and An An gently touched the tiny hand of their much younger sister.
Luckily, the children didn’t start babbling in baby talk and fighting over who got to touch their sister’s hand first.
Yuan Xi handed Cheng Yue the red envelope she had prepared: "This is for Xiao Fu."
"Thank you," Cheng Yue accepted the red envelope from Yuan Xi.
Yuan Xi smiled lightly while looking at the little girl in Cheng Yue’s arms and said, "This child even looks a bit like me."
Huo Shiyan looked at Yuan Xi, then at the little girl and said, "Indeed, she does resemble you a bit."
Cheng Yue smiled lightly and said, "She really does look like you, Gu Hanchen also said that the child looks more like you."
