Rebirth 90: The Long Road to Finding a Son

During the New Year holidays, although Sun Aimin and Yuan Jie's relatives returned to their hometown, the schedule of the family of four was full.

On New Year's Eve, the Luo family originally invited them to their home for a reunion dinner, but they rejected the Luo family's kindness and chose to spend the New Year with the four of them.

Sun Aimin started preparing meals in the morning, steaming, boiling, stewing, frying and stir-frying. Although there were few people in his family, he managed to prepare ten dishes in a proper manner, which meant perfection.

Sun Mian became Sun Aimin's little helper, helping to pick and wash vegetables. He also made two delicious dishes by himself under Sun Aimin's hands-on guidance.

If it was Sun Xiaohao, he would never help the adults with any work. However, Sun Aimin and Yuan Jie no longer bothered to compare their own son with the son of their enemy. They seemed to have not thought about Sun Xiaohao for a long time.

Near noon, a sumptuous meal was placed on the table and the family sat around it, all with happy smiles on their faces.

Sun Aimin poured three drinks, raised the drink in front of him and said, "Come on, wife, son, let's toast together. I hope that the days ahead will be smoother and smoother!"

When several people raised their glasses to celebrate the New Year, Sun Nanxing, who was sitting in Yuan Jie's arms, holding a small straw-style water cup, also held out the cup in a serious manner, and excitedly kicked his chubby legs to clink glasses with everyone, making several people laugh.

"Our little Nanxing wants to toast too?" Yuan Jie gently pinched her daughter's little face and clinked her cup with Nanxing's small water cup. Nanxing giggled contentedly and babbled in baby language that no one else could understand.

"Mom, my sister is so smart. I told my desk mates that my sister is super cute, and they asked me to bring my sister to school to show them!" Sun Mian said, raising his little head.

"When school starts, mom will take your sister to school. Then your classmates will be able to see how cute our little Nanxing is!" Yuan Jie said with a smile.

Sun Mian was very happy when he heard Yuan Jie say this: "Mom, please don't lie to me! You don't know how much my classmates envy me for having a sister. They all have only one child in their families!"

Yuan Jie responded, "When has mom ever lied to you? I'll keep my word. When school starts again after the winter break, mom will pick you up and drop you off at school every day, okay?"

Sun Mian clapped his hands excitedly: "Okay, okay~"

But he thought of something and said hesitantly: "But, won't this make Mom too tired? You still have to take care of your sister, so it would be fine if you could pick me up once in a while..."

Yuan Jie touched her son's head and said, "You and your sister are so sensible. Mommy doesn't know how much she worries about you. How can she be tired? Besides, after the New Year, Mommy will go to work at your school. From now on, Mommy can go to school with you and go home with you."

When Sun Mian heard the good news, he was so happy that he didn't know what to say. He kept praising his mother for being able to go to work at the school, saying it was so great.

It turned out that Yuan Jie had been paying attention to the recruitment information of Sun Mian's school. A few days ago, she found out that the school was recruiting English teachers, so she took the exam and was successfully hired.

Although she had taught high school Chinese before, she had actually taught junior high school English for two years before that. It was only after she got married and returned to Qingyang City with Sun Aimin that she became a Chinese teacher.

Currently, many primary schools in rural towns have not yet opened English courses, while schools in urban areas basically start learning English from the third grade.

What is most in short supply at the moment is English teachers with strong professional qualities. Yuan Jie has a professional background and teaching experience, so it is not difficult for her to pass the recruitment exam.

After the winter vacation, she will go back to work. Sun Nanxing is now five months old and has started to eat complementary foods. After she goes back to work, it will be no problem for her to leave the child to the Yuan family.

In the evening, Sun Aimin prepared two kinds of fillings, three fresh fillings and celery and pork fillings, and made dumplings with Sun Mian, while Yuan Jie coaxed Sun Nanxing to play. During this time, she also took a lot of photos of the father and son with the camera at home.

The time they spend with their two children is so precious that they have to record it immediately with a camera.

Yuan Jie bought two large and thick photo albums. In just half a year, she had almost filled up one of them.

In the evening, the family gathered around the dining table, eating steaming dumplings and watching the Spring Festival Gala.

After dinner, Sun Aimin cleaned up the table in time and took his son downstairs to set off fireworks. The sound and light of fireworks in the sky drowned out all the unhappy memories.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the family of four went to pay New Year's greetings to the Luo family. On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the families of Zhao Hongjun and Wu Xing came together to pay New Year's greetings to Yuan Jie and Sun Aimin, and solemnly thanked them for helping them find their child.

On the third day of the Chinese New Year, the family accepted another banquet hosted by Wang Zhicheng and Zhang Ying. This time, Wang Zhicheng's biological parents also came.

After the children had their winter vacation, Wang Zhicheng and his wife returned to the Song family to formally recognize their relationship. The Song family attached great importance to Wang Zhicheng's family and invited all their relatives, friends and even neighbors in the community to organize a very lively and grand recognition banquet.

They stayed in the city where the Song family lived for a few days, and when they were about to leave, the old couple of the Song family were reluctant to leave.

Zhang Ying was very satisfied with the new in-laws who were retired teachers. They were very decent and considerate in what they said and did, especially compared with the previous pair of ruthless fake in-laws, which made the goodness of the old couple more apparent.

Zhang Ying simply decided to bring the old couple from the Song family back to Mafang City. This would not only give them the opportunity to spend time with their newly-met children and grandchildren, but would also allow the old couple to help tutor their two children during the holidays.

After they brought the old couple back, they formally visited Yuan Jie and Sun Aimin and prepared a generous thank-you gift.

As it was the Chinese New Year, they had booked lunch for Sun Aimin's family of four many days in advance on the third day of the Lunar New Year. Chen Jianye and Bai Yuxin and his wife were a step behind and could only book lunch on the fourth day.

The holiday passed quickly in such a lively atmosphere, and it was time to go back to work again.

Now, with the joint efforts of the three Sun Aimin brothers and Yuan Jie, a systematic teaching material suitable for teaching has been compiled and printed in batches on an urgent basis.

The TV commercial has already been launched and the effect is very good. The school is scheduled to open on the 16th day of the first lunar month and has already enrolled more than 100 students.

Everything is going in a good direction.
