Chapter 3264 To My Most Adorable You
Dudu became a sensation, turning into the nation's darling; everyone wants a daughter like her.
Everyone is praising Zhao Gongcheng and Sun Dongdong for their good upbringing. Neighbors and colleagues are also coming to learn from them, asking about their family education so they can learn from their experience.
The person involved, Zhao Chendu, is completely unaffected by public opinion. She remains the same as before, attending classes and playing diligently, loving labor and doing things herself. Unlike some individual idol stars who act like divas as soon as they become famous.
The bad examples around her don't affect her; on the contrary, she wants to influence these bad examples and set things right.
At the same time, Dudu didn't keep the big red envelope she won in the lottery, nor the 6666 yuan red envelope given by President Yu, but handed it over voluntarily.
When her mother, Sun Dongdong, asked her where she came from, she explained the situation.
Sun Dongdong said that she would save the money as her own little secret stash.
Dudu said, "I don't want any secret stash of money. I'm still so young, I don't want money. I have nowhere to spend money anyway. Give it to Mom, you can use it to buy pretty clothes and dresses for your little sister in the future, and you can also use it for your prenatal checkups."
During this period, Sun Dongdong went to the hospital more and more often. Dudu knew that her mother was going to the hospital for prenatal checkups. She accompanied her twice and realized that having a baby was so complicated.
Sun Dongdong patted Dudu's head with satisfaction, accepted the two large red envelopes, and although he didn't say anything, he made up his mind to deposit them into Dudu's social security account as the little girl's future savings.
At the same time, Xi'er, Xiaomi, Chengcheng, and others handed over the red envelopes they had received, not keeping a single penny for themselves.
Although Xiaomi, Chengcheng, and the others didn't attend the wrap party, they still received all the red envelopes they were entitled to.
Xiao Bai first bought clothes online for her grandmother, uncle, and aunt, then bought a pair of pretty sandals for her niece and Xiwawa, and finally gave the rest to Old Man Zhang.
Zhang Tan also deposited the money into her social security account.
Robin, who treats money like dirt, casually tossed two large red envelopes onto the dining table that very night without saying a word to anyone. Later, her mother discovered this and asked around, but couldn't find out who they were from. By then, Robin, who treated money like dirt, was already fast asleep in bed, sleeping soundly. She was indeed exhausted from playing that night.
The next morning, when her mother asked her about the red envelope while she was eating breakfast, she still looked clueless and shook her head, saying she didn't know, and just kept eating her sweet potato porridge.
Her mother pressed her for details, specifically asking if it was a red envelope from the wrap party, before Robin remembered and said, "Oh," explaining that it was from someone else.
Yang Yi asked, frustrated, "Then why did you say it wasn't yours after I've been asking you for so long?!"
Robin remained nonchalant, still looking rather clueless, and said, "I don't remember."
Yang Yi said patiently, "You just left so much money on the table. Next time, remember to tell the adults first."
Robin nodded and said, "Oh, Mom, I won't leave it on the table next time."
Yang Yi said with relief, "That's more like it."
Robin then said, "I threw it on the sofa, on the floor, in the pot, in the toilet, and so on..."
Yang Yi was furious: "If you dare to be so shameless, I'll beat you up!"
Robin fell silent, but Yang's mother's words did not frighten her.
She put down her little spoon, wiped her mouth, got off the table, and said, "Mommy, I'm going to kindergarten."
He immediately dashed to his bedroom, slung his backpack over his shoulder, and prepared to leave.
Yang Yi pressed further, "Did you hear what Mom just said?"
Robin said, "I heard you."
Seeing that she was about to leave, Yang Yi quickly followed and asked, "Are you going by yourself? Don't you want Mom to take you?"
Robin said, "I'm going to find Sister Xi'er, let's go together."
During this period, Robin went to school with Xiaobaixi several times. They would drop her off at kindergarten first, and then go to primary school. After all, the kindergarten and Hongqi Primary School are next to each other.
Before the group of girlfriends, Xiao Zhou also received a large red envelope, and his red envelope was the biggest, because Xi'er had blessed it.
At that time, Xiaozhou hid the two thick red envelopes in her clothes. When she got home, her mother had just gotten off work.
Xiao Zhou reached into his clothes, took out two large red envelopes, placed them beside his mother, and said, "Mom, at the wrap party today, everyone drew prizes, and I won a large red envelope. The other one was given to me by President Yu."
Upon hearing this, Xiaozhou's mother's hand trembled. Seeing the two thick red envelopes, she carefully wiped her hands, picked them up, and touched them carefully. Both were bulging and heavy.
She opened the opening and looked inside; it was a thick stack of hundred-yuan bills.
Her voice trembled slightly as she asked, "How much is this?"
Xiao Zhou said, "The lucky draw prize is 8888, and the prize from President Yu is 6666."
Xiao Zhou's mother was a little nervous and asked in a trembling voice, "This...this is too much? Is this...is it okay to take?"
She wasn't worried that the money was ill-gotten, but rather that people were giving it to her out of pity for Xiaozhou, and she didn't dare accept such a great favor.
Xiao Zhou hurriedly said, "Mom, everyone gets a red envelope from the lottery. Mr. Yu didn't just give me a red envelope; Xiao Bai, Liu Liu, and Xi Er all got them too. Don't worry, it wasn't charity, and I didn't ask anyone for it."
Xiao Zhou's mother was relieved. She took the money out of the red envelope, piled it on the coffee table, counted it three times, her fingers trembling slightly, and her eyes suddenly reddened.
Xiao Zhou couldn't see, but she could hear the sob in her mother's voice. Her little hand reached out and covered the back of her mother's hand: "Mom, don't cry. Boss Zhang said that we got this money honestly, so why shouldn't we take it!"
Xiao Zhou's mother wiped her eyes and said, "Mom didn't cry, Mom was just excited."
Her feelings were extremely complicated. She was gratified by her son's maturity, but also heartbroken that he was too mature for his age. Other children his age were carefree, studying and playing, but her son was already as mature as an adult. This was a failure on her part as a mother.
She put the money into the tin box, locked it at the bottom of the cabinet, and felt a surge of gratitude in her heart.
Little Red Horse Academy not only took in Xiao Zhou, but also helped him make many good friends there. They didn't discriminate against him; instead, they treated him as a true friend and helped him integrate into the group and society. Over this period, she clearly felt the changes in Xiao Zhou. He became more and more cheerful, more and more positive about life, and his inherent inferiority complex was rapidly decreasing. He became more generous and confident.
She saw all of this and was deeply grateful.
Xiao Zhou's mother tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep. Before dawn, she got up and started thinking: "I need to buy some nice things for Mr. Zhang! Bird's nest, ginseng, imported chocolate... I wonder if Mr. Zhang wants these!"
She was filled with trepidation, but these were the best things she could think of, and the best things she could buy to the best of her ability. She didn't even dare to dream of anything more valuable.
She was not only thinking about the more than 10,000 yuan that Xiao Zhou had given her last night, but also about her own savings. Even if she had to pay out of her own pocket, it would be the least she could do.
People cannot be ungrateful.
The changes that have taken place in Xiaozhou are priceless; no amount of money can buy them!
Xiao Zhou sat to the side, listening to her mother muttering to herself, and suddenly said, "Mom, don't buy it."
His voice was soft, yet firm.
His mother looked at him with a puzzled expression and said, "Son, Mr. Zhang has helped our family so much. We really don't know how to thank him. Buying these things is just a small token of our gratitude. Regardless of whether he needs them or not, we should at least give them to him."
Xiao Zhou shook his head and said, "Boss Zhang isn't that kind of person. He won't accept it, and he probably wouldn't be happy for us to buy such an expensive item. He's helping us because he genuinely wants what's best for us, not because he wants our gratitude."
Xiao Zhou's mother was stunned. The morning light outside the window shone on her son's serious profile, making him look exactly like his father.
Her father used to make all the decisions at home, but after he passed away, she had to take the lead in everything.
Xiao Zhou now speaks as if his father is talking, with that tone and that unwavering confidence.
She was in a daze for a moment. As she thought about it, she suddenly laughed, tears falling down her face, but she tried her best to avoid making a sound so that Xiao Zhou wouldn't hear it.
She calmed herself down and said, "It's Mom who's confused. What Mr. Zhang wants isn't the gift, but our sentiments."
She wiped her face, turned and went into the kitchen, saying, "Then Mom will make them some food from our hometown! We can't get the food from the mountains in the city."
Xiao Zhou nodded heavily and smiled, "Mom's homemade food is the best. Boss Zhang and Xiao Bai will definitely love it. They really liked the pear syrup you made last time."
Over the next two days, Xiaozhou's mother used her time after get off work and stayed up most of the night to steam golden pumpkin cakes, fry crispy wild vegetable balls, and stew a pot of fragrant cured pork and tofu stew. The most heartfelt thing she made was that jar of pear syrup!
Peel and dice the pears, add rock sugar and simmer for three hours. Finally, mix in fritillaria powder, and the amber-colored paste will be clear and moist.
She filled a whole earthenware jar, then divided it into smaller boxes, and labeled them with handwritten tags from Xiaozhou: "For the most adorable of you."
