Chapter 241 No Regrets

"The ninth day of the second month of the new year is a good day. I plan to arrange the wedding of Xiaokang and Shuqin."

"Congratulations, congratulations!"

Congratulations were heard everywhere. It was such a good day and such great news, everyone smiled knowingly.

"Auntie..." Wang Shuqin's face turned red immediately. They had discussed this matter before, but she didn't expect it to be brought to the surface so soon for everyone to know.

"Why are you still calling me auntie?" Professor Lin frowned for the first time.

Wang Shuqin lowered her eyes and could only call out "Mom".

"Hey!" Professor Lin was very quick and put a thick red envelope in her hand. "Fee for changing your statement!"

Wang Shuqin's eyes immediately turned red.

She had hardly ever experienced maternal love in her life. The maternal love in her distant memory was the few mouthfuls of breast milk her mother fed her.

In the days that followed, she had a younger sister and a younger brother, and she, the second child, became the most neglected one in the family.

Not only that, her mother often told her that when a daughter was born, she would be sent away immediately. The daughter would either be taken as a child bride or drowned in a puddle. Since she was able to feed Wang Shuqin and help her grow up, she should be grateful and listen to her family.

After she got out and entered society, she saw how big the world was. Then she discovered that there were girls in the city who were raised like boys, and there were girls who went to high school and college.

How she wanted to go back to her childhood, no longer be so silent, and yell at her mother, "If others are wrong, do you have to do the wrong thing too?"

It was only after she arrived in the city that she found another mother, Professor Lin, who cared for her and took care of her in every possible way.

Professor Lin gave her many books to read, including Helen Keller's "Three Days to See", "The Life of Marie Curie", and Pushkin's "If Life Deceives You".

Here she read a lot of books, learned English, learned management, met bad people, but also met many good people.

She had long wanted to call Professor Lin "Mom", as she not only taught her about life but also many principles of life.

But she was not able to call it by the right name, and now, she can finally...

Wang Shuqin's shoulders were shaking, her voice was shaking, and she called out again, "Mom."

"Hey!" Professor Lin took off her glasses and wiped her eyes with a handkerchief. Just as she came back to her senses, she saw something being handed to her. She looked down and saw it was a passbook.

"Mom, I know my family doesn't have much help, so I saved up the dowry myself. This is the money I saved when I started working."

Professor Lin flipped through the book, which was filled with densely packed records, and every corner was the result of her hard work.

This child is self-reliant and even saves up his own dowry. What a cautious child he is.

"Silly boy, I don't need this."

Professor Lin pushed the passbook back intact, hugged Wang Shuqin with one hand and Lin Xiaokang with the other, "Having you is enough for me."

She looked up at the sky.

She still has a lot of tasks to do, and she needs to pamper the child more.

There is no one to help these two children, and she has to take care of them when the time comes, so old man, you can only wait for me.

Eight o'clock - CCTV Channel, the Spring Festival Gala starts on time -

Zhao Zhongxiang stood on the stage and began to host the program in a clear and loud voice, which officially kicked off the prelude to the new year.

Ji Ning curled up on the sofa, and Zhou Jingmo covered her knees with a thick blanket.

In her previous life, she hadn’t watched the Spring Festival Gala for a long time. The fast-paced life made everyone’s happiness threshold very high and they were no longer as patient.

But since her rebirth, she has watched the Spring Festival Gala every year, and always with the whole family. She quite likes this atmosphere.

Songs like "A Thousand Colors", "New Year's Eve", "Muscular Love Song" are all sung by very talented singers, such as Li Lingyu, Li Danyang, etc., and there are no traffic stars.

It was the skit "Blind Date" by Zhao Benshan and Huang Xiaojuan. Ji Ning nestled in Zhou Jingmo's arms, laughing so hard that she fell backwards.

The newly bought large color TV at home is really suitable for watching TV with family and friends. It is big and clear.

Watch halfway, take a break and have a midnight snack.

The midnight snack is the dumplings made during the day. Whoever eats the coin wrapped inside will be guaranteed a safe and smooth year ahead.

I don’t know who will be the lucky one.

Everyone was eating with all their might, especially Lin Xiaokang. He ate so much that he burped, but he still kept stuffing his mouth with more food.

Wang Shuqin couldn't bear to watch it any longer. "Slow down, slow down, don't upset your stomach."

He didn't listen at all. The young man was completely reckless and aggressive. There was nothing Wang Shuqin could do but help him eat. She didn't know how big his wish was and how much he had to make it come true.

Didn't he not believe this before? At least last year he thought it was childish.

Ji Ning only ate three dumplings. When she bit the third one, she felt a little pain in her teeth. She put her finger to her lips and took out a coin.

Lin Xiaokang was so envious that he touched his stomach which was about to burst. He had eaten so much but didn't get even one. This was the huge difference between good luck and bad luck.

Without thinking, Ji Ning put the coin directly into the chest pocket of Zhou Jingmo's shirt.

Zhou Jingmo was about to take it out, but she held him tightly, "Take it."

She raised her eyebrows, "Listen to your wife and you'll get rich."

"Yeah." Zhou Jingmo had no choice but to accept it. She said she was his wife, which she seldom called herself that.

After eating three bowls, Lin Xiaokang finally got what he wanted.

"Here you go!" His face flushed as he handed the hard-earned coin to Wang Shuqin.

"Turns out it's for me." Wang Shuqin's eyes were red.

"Yes!" Lin Xiaokang smiled innocently, like a kid in his twenties.

His life has been fulfilled and he has gotten what he wanted, so he doesn't need to have any wishes anymore.

But Shuqin is different from him. She has experienced all the hardships in life since she was a child, and he wants to make the rest of her life sweet.

He also wrote a letter of guarantee, which will be read at the wedding.

Wang Shuqin took it with trembling hands. She looked at the people around her, clasped her hands together silently, and made a wish.

She is a person with a small heart and a small courage. She doesn't have many extravagant expectations and is a contented person.

So her wish was very simple.

I hope that next year we can celebrate the New Year together again, without leaving anyone behind!

…………

During Zhou Jingmo's vacation, he and Ji Ning never separated and were together every day. Occasionally, he would accompany Lin Xiaokang and Wang Shuqin to choose some wedding items.

Getting married is really troublesome. From small things like invitations and guest lists to big things like souvenirs, everything requires someone to worry about.

Ji Ning watched from the side, just helping them pick and carry some things, and was secretly amazed.

Zhou Jingmo looked at her, and there was really no envy in his eyes. "Don't you want to have a wedding ceremony?"
