Rebirth and making money first

Chapter 127: Milk Ball Goes to Kindergarten

The news that Alan and Gao Wei were getting married was like a flash of lightning that broke through the calm sky. Their wedding invitations appeared in front of people without any warning, which surprised everyone.

Upon hearing the news, Zhang Jing immediately called Director Chen. Director Chen's hearty laugh echoed from the other end of the line: "Jing, this is going surprisingly smoothly! Alan's parents were initially hesitant about this marriage. But Gao Wei is incredibly clever. He's been incredibly caring towards Alan at work. The two of them have been inseparable all day, and over time, he's won Alan's heart."

Zhang Jing was perceptive and keenly aware that things might not be as simple as they seemed. So she bluntly asked, "Could it be that they're getting married because they're pregnant?" Director Chen was stunned at first, then smiled and replied, "Even if that's the case, it's perfectly normal. Just sit back and enjoy the wedding banquet!"

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Jing looked at the adorable little girl playing around beside her and fell into deep thought. She thought of Zhang Zhi, who had also rushed into marriage because of a pregnancy before marriage; and Zhang Xiaobing, who also got married because of pregnancy and started a family; even herself, wasn't it the same?

Perhaps in this world, many little lives are unexpectedly born, before their parents are fully prepared. However, life is full of unknowns and surprises. Regardless, these children will eventually become the most precious treasures in every family.

The adorable, chubby little girl was originally unable to enter the community kindergarten due to her age. However, her resourceful mother-in-law, through various connections and backdoors, went through tremendous painstaking efforts to secure a trial enrollment for the little girl. She was successfully enrolled in this highly anticipated kindergarten.

Although Zhang Jing paid, it was only a two-week trial. Looking at the tearful little girl before her, Zhang Jing seemed oblivious and breathed a sigh of relief. She had been in a state of intense tension for a while, and now that her child was finally able to attend kindergarten, she could finally relax a little.

In stark contrast to Zhang Jing, the mother-in-law, who doted on the little boy, was reluctant to leave. She hugged him tightly and coaxed him softly, "My dear, grandma will definitely be the first one to pick you up!"

"Really? Grandma, you must keep your word!" The little kid sobbed, his little hands still tightly clutching the corner of his mother-in-law's clothes and refusing to let go.

"Of course, my little darling, as long as you're a good kid, I promise I'll be waiting at the school gate early for you!" As the grandmother spoke, she gently wiped the tears from the little girl's cheeks. Her eyes gradually moistened, and she looked even more distressed for the little one than her own parents. For a moment, Zhang Jing couldn't bear to look at him.

Seeing this, the grandfather beside him hurried over, gently stroked the little kid's head, and comforted him kindly, "Don't be sad, baby! Grandpa has prepared lots of delicious food for you at home. You can eat it when you get home from school! So don't cry anymore!"

Even the nanny at home came over and coaxed the little kid with a smile on her face, saying, "Yes, baby, our whole family is looking forward to you going to school happily and coming home happily!"

Seeing that going to kindergarten was irreversible and no one was willing to show mercy, Naituanzi had no choice but to be led by the teacher and said goodbye to everyone one by one. Until he walked in, holding the teacher's hand, looking back every few steps.

My mother-in-law said, "I'm too old to bear this."

Grandpa asked the nanny to go buy groceries. "You guys should go to work. I'll watch her for a while. I'm afraid she'll cry. If the teacher can't comfort her, I'll bring her back!"

Zhang Jing originally thought that only the cute little kid would have trouble adapting to the new environment. Who would have thought that even the adults around him would have trouble adjusting?

At the nursing home, the kind elderly people began to frequently ask Zhang Jing about the little guy's situation. Some even enthusiastically stuffed all kinds of delicious snacks and asked Zhang Jing to pass them on to Naituanzi.

Even the usually gentle Mrs. Xu looked displeased at this moment. She said to Zhang Jing in a somewhat aggressive tone: "Why is she bothering you? If you can't take care of her, then send her to me!"

To Zhang Jing's embarrassment, Li Manyue unceremoniously threw 300 yuan in her face. She angrily complained, "Hmph, I knew your little money wasn't easy to earn! I haven't even warmed it yet, take it back!"

After Zhang Zhi learned about this, she was also anxiously asking Zhang Jing: "Is my daughter crying? What if she accidentally wet her pants? Doesn't she need a physical examination before entering kindergarten? How much will it cost in total? Anyway, I don't have a penny, so I can't give you any! You can figure it out!"

Zhang Jing couldn't help but feel an indescribable sense of grievance and loss when she heard these words. She suddenly felt as if she had been abandoned by the entire world. Everyone looked at her with a subtle, distant look of disdain.

This awful feeling had haunted her like a lingering shadow since the moment she left the house that morning, and it had persisted ever since. Zhang Jing was completely consumed by a sea of ​​frustration and helplessness, nearly suffocating. She hadn't even gotten a good nap, and she wondered: Did I really do something wrong?

Finally, it was time to get off work. When Zhang Jing dragged her exhausted body out of the company gate, she saw Achen standing there, quietly waiting for her. At that moment, a warm current surged in her heart, like a ray of light in the darkness, instantly dispelling all the haze.

It turns out that there are still people in this world who care about her and remember her! Thinking of this, Zhang Jing's originally depressed mood suddenly improved a lot.

The two of them got in the car together, and a warm and peaceful atmosphere filled the air. Just then, Achen said, "Ajing, we have to go pick up Guaibao first." Hearing this, Zhang Jing just nodded woodenly and replied casually, "Yeah, she should have been picked up by Grandpa a long time ago."

The car soon arrived at the station. As the two of them arrived at their grandfather's house, a cute little figure rushed out like a cannonball, happily calling out, "Auntie, are you off work? I missed you so much!" However, before Zhang Jing could open her arms and hug the little one, she suddenly turned and ran towards Achen, her arms excitedly opened as she ran. She excitedly shouted, "Uncle, hurry up! I want to lift you up high!"

Looking at the happy scene of the big and small, Zhang Jing didn't feel funny. At the same time, she felt a sense of loss. She was abandoned by the milk ball!

Zhang Jing smiled helplessly, turned silently and walked into the house, preparing to wash her hands first and then wait for dinner. At this moment, she felt a mixture of emotions, love for the child's innocence, but also a trace of indescribable melancholy...

Soon, the house was bustling again, knowing that her grandfather had come to pick her up. Everyone was busy asking about the little one's behavior in kindergarten. It turned out that she was sweet-mouthed, well-fed, and having a blast. She even helped the teacher comfort a classmate who was crying and looking for her mother, saying, "If you don't cry, your mother will be the first one to pick you up!"

Everyone immediately praised the little girl, and Zhang Jing realized that she was particularly clingy today. She only let her feed her and only let her wipe her butt when she went to pee.

Even when she went back home, she held herself tightly, and after taking a shower and going to bed, she hugged Zhang Jing. Zhang Jing knew that she was insecure, so she couldn't help but hug her tightly. "Auntie, I don't want to go to kindergarten tomorrow. I want to go to work in the nursing home with you."

Zhang Jing said, "That won't work. Adults should work in adult companies. You're young, so you should work in a small company."

"But I'm scared!"

"Did the teacher scold you?"

"No, the teacher praised me."

"You are so great? Give your aunt a kiss and I will reward you with such a wonderful baby!" Milk ball was very happy and started laughing again.

"Oh my!" Zhang Jing felt the baby move in her belly, startling her aunt and nephew. She put her hand on her belly and, sure enough, felt the baby move. The little girl also curiously put her hand on it and exclaimed in surprise, "Auntie, there's movement inside."

Zhang Jing said happily, "These are your younger siblings. You'll be the older sister from now on." Milk Ball repeated, "I want to be the older sister." He touched Zhang Jing's belly and said, "Be good and don't bully my aunt!"

Zhang Jing looked at Naituanzi's serious face and something clicked in her mind. She thought to herself that some people say that young children who have just become sensible can predict the gender of the baby in the womb. So she deliberately asked Naituanzi, "Do you think my aunt is carrying a boy or a girl?"
