Xu Wenyin glanced around the hall but didn’t find the one who laughed just now.
When she was in her human body, her five senses were also restricted, and she could no longer observe 365 degrees like before, but that didn’t matter.
Whoever was laughing had nothing to do with her.
Shaking off the Zhou couple who had dark faces but didn’t dare to do anything else, the mother and daughter duo smoothly got into the taxi to go to Jiang City. As for whether the Zhou couple would retaliate against them later……
Try it if they have the ability!
It’s not that Xu Wenyin didn’t want to take Xu Youyou to another city, but in the original work, Xu Youyou spent her time in Jiang City until she went to college. Xu Wenyin couldn’t change so much right from the start as it would attract the attention of the rules of this world.
So they had to go to Jiang City. As for how they would live after they were there, it all depends on how hard Xu Wenyin works.
“Sleep a little longer, Youyou. I’ll wake you when we arrive.”
Xu Youyou retracted her eyes away from the scenery outside the window, and then she took off her shoes and lay down obediently. Her head was resting on Xu Wenyin’s legs as she adjusted to a more comfortable position. She then blinked at Xu Wenyin. “Mom, Youyou’s sleeping~”
“Your daughter is very obedient. If it’s my family’s rascal, he would be jumping up and down by now.” Even the driver in the front seat couldn’t help but praise. “Little Girl, rest assured and sleep, I’m the most steady driver!”
The driver’s words were answered politely by Xu Wenyin, and soon the car fell into silence, and even the lively music was turned off, however, Xu Youyou couldn’t sleep at all.
Although her eyes were closed, all kinds of thoughts were lingering in her little head, and they were even tangled up in a mess.
There were things about the orphanage, there’s one about Xu Wenyin’s dashing action just now, and much, much more.
The biggest one, simplified into one sentence was—— I want to live with my mom!
It’s a lie when children in orphanages say they don’t crave family affection. Who doesn’t want to have a loving pair of parents that they could act coquettishly with or be willful? But their desire was always different from their reality.
Xu Youyou had been in the orphanage for three years. She didn’t have much memory of the first two years, but she did know that several couples wanted to adopt her.
However, none of them were successful.
She’s cute, healthy, and intelligent, so it shouldn’t be difficult for her to get adopted. But for some reason, every time Grandma Wu took Xu Youyou to meet those people, there would be no more follow-up.
This also made Huahua and the others laugh at Xu Youyou for being an unwanted child whenever Grandma Wu and the other adults weren’t paying attention.
Wasn’t she just a little cute?
Why was Xu Youyou always wanted but no one wanted them?
Children’s hatred wasn’t complicated at all. It could be due to the occasional compliment from the aunts that Xu Youyou was cute, or it could be that Xu Youyou was given extra candy by those who came to the orphanage to do volunteer work.
The way they do things was also very simple. They wouldn’t play with anyone they hate.
Xu Youyou has no friends in the orphanage.
Even if there were a few who didn’t hate her, they would not take the initiative to come to Xu Youyou to be gregarious.
Faced with this ‘hatred’, Xu Youyou would refute loudly at first, but after it happened a lot of times, she just chose to remain silent.
Youyou was very well-behaved, so why wasn’t anyone adopting her?
At three years old, she didn’t understand what an unexpected problem was, nor did she understand that adopting a child wasn’t that simple. She simply felt that she wasn’t good enough, so she wasn’t adopted.
But things were different now.
Xu Youyou rolled over and buried her little head in Xu Wenyin’s arms. It was fragrant and warm.
It’s her mother’s embrace.
It’s Youyou’s mom~
The occasional jolt of the car was like a cradle, causing Xu Youyou, who was originally not sleepy, to quickly become drowsy.
Before she succumbed to sleep, Xu Youyou couldn’t help but reach out her right hand to grab the corner of Xu Wenyin’s clothes, seemingly afraid that she would find everything was just a dream when she woke up.
———pr
“Youyou?”
When she opened her eyes again, Xu Youyou found that she was already lying on a bed.
It’s a bigger and prettier room!
Xu Youyou rubbed her eyes and saw Xu Wenyin sitting on the side. She first showed a cute smile, then suddenly stretched out her hands to pounce at Xu Wenyin. “Mom~ Mom~”
Her milky voice was extremely cute.
Xu Wenyin picked up Xu Youyou and placed her under her armpit, moving her to the bathroom like a briefcase. “Mom’s time is almost up. I’ll teach Youyou how to use the toilet first.”
There were still fifteen minutes before this body disappeared. Xu Wenyin had just arrived at the room while holding her baby in one hand and carrying her suitcase in the other. She managed to quickly purchase a lot of children’s things in the supermarket next to the hotel.
The most important of which was a small bench!
This would make it much easier for Xu Youyou to use the sink or go to the toilet.
“Mom, are we going to live here from now on?”
Xu Youyou knew they would be living in a new place, but she didn’t know where they were staying.
“No……” Xu Wenyin began to explain as she showed Xu Youyou what to do.
Fortunately, Xu Youyou quickly learned how to use the toilet.
This step took five minutes, and there were still ten minutes left!
It’s half past eleven, lunchtime.
Xu Youyou had to spend most of today in the room by herself.
Xu Wenyin planned to save the remaining ten minutes in case there was an emergency like before where she couldn’t do anything.
She learned from her mistake and was still as clever as ever~
She turned on the TV for Xu Youyou, taught her how to change the channel, and then took out a warm boxed lunch and water. Xu Wenyin thought of all the details that she could.
Xu Youyou patted her chest solemnly and said that she could handle everything.
As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Wenyin disappeared in front of her again.
“Mom.”
〖I’m here.〗
The voice that rang out in her mind comforted Xu Youyou. She followed Xu Wenyin’s instructions to eat, drink water, watch TV, and so on.
The day passed peacefully just like that. Xu Wenyin had to go look for a house tomorrow since they couldn’t stay in a hotel all the time.
Jiang City’s development in the past ten years has been very good. Although not as good as several established first-tier cities, the difference wasn’t big.
And Xu Wenyin knows that Jiang City will only get better and better in the future. She currently has insufficient funds and couldn’t buy a house for the time being, so she could only rent one first.
She found a one-bedroom house with a total area of 40 square meters. The rent was 4,300 per month.
This was the one Xu Wenyin and Xu Youyou liked the most after looking at countless photos on the mobile phone and then conducting on-site inspections of three apartments.
Xu Youyou likes it because when she first entered the gated community, she saw a large playground with lots of interesting equipment.
What Xu Wenyin likes is the security measures there. Security guards patrol around the clock, facial recognition is required to enter the community, and the elevators also require swiping a card to enter a floor.
She couldn’t physically be with Xu Youyou most of the time, so the safety of the surrounding environment was very important.
In addition, there’s a kindergarten three hundred meters away from the community, which could save a lot of time for traveling.
If it wasn’t for the fact that Xu Wenyin didn’t have enough money right now, she really wanted to buy a unit directly.
The 《Human Baby Manual》 says it’s important to provide human babies with a sufficient sense of security in the form of a house, vehicle, money, and so on, that belongs to them.
How to make more money without drawing the attention of this world’s rules, as well as the government, was Xu Wenyin’s new dilemma.
Neither of them had many things so one suitcase would do, plus the house was a move-in type. After signing the contract and paying the money the same day, Xu Wenyin got the room card and other things.
If it weren’t for the lack for her lack of time, the two of them could have moved in that same night.
But there’s no rush anyway, a one-day delay was fine!
Compared to Xu Wenyin’s calmness, Xu Youyou ran back and forth around the small house several times.
This was where she would live with her mother in the future~
So beautiful! So cute! She really likes it there!
These three big sentences were written all over Xu Youyou’s face, and the little dress on her body bloomed like a flower as she ran, the whole house was surrounded by cheerful laughter.
This scene made Xu Wenyin add another thing to her shopping list—— a camera.
The cute baby’s precious childhood must be recorded, and it could also be used to complete the system’s task report. It serves multiple purposes!
And because they now had a fixed address, Xu Wenyin could also place orders for some items she had on her shopping list. Speaking of this, she wanted to complain about why the number of items in the shopping cart was limited. One must know that she was always in system status before. This was the first time she had a human body and there were so many things she wanted to try!
Never mind, she’d clear out a batch of items first and then order again.
She had to be considerate of the technological level of this era.
———pr
The move took an hour and she still had more than an hour left for the day.
Considering that Xu Youyou stayed inside these past two days and never went out to play, she remembered that the 《Human Baby Manual》 clearly stated that the mental health of babies should be taken care of, otherwise, it could easily lead to them turning bad, hostile, and other situations.
Thinking of this, after tidying everything up, Xu Wenyin took her child to the neighborhood square.
June in Jiang City already carries a hint of summer heat, and because today was Wednesday afternoon, there weren’t many children in the square, and most of the people there were adults.
They were new there, not to mention that the mother and daughter were both good-looking, so soon, several people came around to say hello.
Xu Wenyin knows the importance of interpersonal relationships. If nothing unexpected happened, they would be staying there for a while before she could save up enough money to buy a house. Therefore, even if she didn’t really want to talk about ‘where the father of the child was’, ‘how old she was that year’, and so on, the novice mother had to brave it out.
But Xu Youyou wasn’t as patient. She had long been itching for the big slide. After Xu Wenyin agreed, the little one rushed to the slide with joy.
There’s a similar slide in the orphanage, but there’s only one of it and there were so many children.
Everyone loves slides, but Xu Youyou didn’t manage to play many times, so now, she couldn’t stop.
After going at it at least a dozen times in one breath, the little one decided to take a short break before playing again.
She didn’t go far and just walked to the back of the slide, planning to lean on it for a while. However, she found that someone had already gotten there first.
It was a boy who looked about the same age as Xu Youyou. He was holding a book and was looking down at it.
Xu Youyou took a look at the cover. There were so many words on it but she didn’t recognize any of them.
Inexplicably, Xu Youyou felt a hint of admiration for the boy in front of her.
Thinking of what her mother told her before they came out, Xu Youyou hesitated for a second before taking the initiative to step forward.
“Hello, my name is Xu Youyou. What are you looking at?”
Xu Youyou squatted in front of the boy, staring at him with big curious eyes.
A minute passed and the boy didn’t respond. He didn’t even lift his head.
“Hello, my name is Xu Youyou.” Thinking that the boy didn’t hear her, Xu Youyou introduced herself again.
The boy, however, remained unresponsive.
An ordinary child would have run away impatiently, but Xu Youyou was different.
She was someone who could be in a daze for an entire afternoon, and she was curious about the boy’s unique curly hair. The little girl just kept staring at the little boy blankly, as if waiting for his reply.
Finally, her effort paid off.
Before Xu Youyou became numb from squatting, the boy raised his head and spoke.
“Xiao Lu.”
“It’s not Xiao Lu, it’s Youyou!”
“Xiao Lu.”
“It’s Youyou.”
“Xiao Lu.”
“Youyou!”
……
When Xu Wenyin came over, she saw two children going back and forth with these four words at least dozens of times with no intention of stopping.
Xu Wenyin: “……”
I don’t understand the world of babies!
