Chapter 192: Naming, Registering the Household

Xiaofeng was timid all of a sudden and dared not pick anymore.

Ye Caiyue said to Han Dongbei, "What do you know? Xiaofeng knows how to dress; wouldn't it be fine to just add a pair of tights if it's thin? If it gets colder, just add a coat. Isn't that right, Xiaofeng? Xiaofeng is the best; wear whatever you want, you know?"

Xiaofeng became confident again and pointed at this princess dress, saying, "Grandma, I want to wear this one."

After changing Xiaofeng's clothes, Ye Caiyue exchanged the housekeeper; summer clothes were put away first to be swapped out when summer comes again. Now, only winter clothes could be displayed, otherwise, with too many choices, a child would ignore the four seasons while picking; one's taste in clothing also needs to be cultivated from a young age.

After finishing breakfast, the whole family took Xiaofeng to register her household.

The name had already been decided; it was determined by Han Weimin. The name is Han Jiarui; 'Jia' is the inheritance of their generation, and 'Rui' is the hope that Xiaofeng will be smooth and auspicious in the future and have good fortune.

When Xiaofeng was born, no birth certificate was processed. It was Ali who contacted Bai Shuruo to have it reissued. It took quite a lot of trouble to finally obtain Xiaofeng's birth certificate.

Only with a birth certificate could the household registration be processed.

After the household registration was done, they also took the opportunity to process an ID card for Xiaofeng.

Xiaofeng pointed at the ID card and said excitedly, "This is an ID card; everyone has one. My mom has one too, and the tourists who come to stay at the inn all have them. You have to have an ID card to stay at the inn. Xiaofeng is now a person with an ID card too."

Han Yangting held her and said, "With an ID card, Xiaofeng can apply for a passport later and can even go abroad."

Xiaofeng put the ID card into her small personal bag. This small bag was a gift from Grandma; it looked unremarkable, but it was a children's model from Chanel, worth over a hundred thousand.

After finishing the ID card, the family took Xiaofeng to a kindergarten five kilometers away.

This was an international bilingual kindergarten; the annual tuition alone was five hundred thousand. Children attending school here could communicate in English within a year. In addition, they would learn horseback riding, fencing, social etiquette, and dance; it was a veritable aristocratic kindergarten.

They first brought Xiaofeng in to look around, and Xiaofeng was surprised again: "This kindergarten is so big!"

"Does Xiaofeng like it?" Han Yangting asked while holding Xiaofeng.

In short, ever since Xiaofeng had a father, she had almost never walked on her own.

Of course Xiaofeng liked it.

Her previous kindergarten didn't have a playground, but this kindergarten had a very wide lawn, a horse-riding track, slides, and a basketball court. It wasn't winter break yet, so many children were playing outside, and there were many foreign teachers.

However, no child would truly like going to kindergarten.

Xiaofeng said, "Dad, can I not go to kindergarten?"

Ye Caiyue, standing to the side, really wanted to say that if the child didn't like going, then don't go. With their financial resources, couldn't they find a teacher to come to the house to teach?

Han Yangting, however, said, "That won't do. All children have to go to kindergarten. When you were in Dali, didn't you have to go to kindergarten too? Look at the other children; they also have to go to kindergarten. Kindergarten is a place to cultivate everyone's ability to adapt to collective life. Xiaofeng can make many good friends here."

Xiaofeng nodded; if she absolutely had to go to kindergarten, then she chose this one.

Kindergarten registration finished, and the family went out to eat a meal. Xiaofeng played very happily, and Xiaofeng forgot about her mother again.

……

Bai Shuruo was still at Bai Shunan's house.

After Xiaofeng left, her heart flew away with Xiaofeng. For these two days, she had been staring at her phone, looking forward to Xiaofeng calling.

However, all she received were spam calls.

Meng Ze did call once to ask her if Xiaofeng had already left, and she said yes.

Meng Ze asked her, "What will you do next?"

She said she didn't know; she would take it one step at a time.

In the evening, Bai Shunan invited her out to eat.

Seeing Bai Shuruo's absent-minded appearance, Bai Shunan knew that Bai Shuruo was missing Xiaofeng. While cutting her steak, she asked, "Ruoruo, what are your plans for the future?"

What Bai Shuruo hadn't told Meng Ze, she told Bai Shunan: "Sister, I want to go to Beishi."

Bai Shunan understood her: "That's fine, you go. Our company has a branch in Beishi. You can help me with management there, or you can do sales. It's just that once you get there, you'll need to rent a place. Your old bank card should have money in it. In the years you were gone, I deposited a little money into it every so often, worrying that you might need it."

Bai Shuruo was stunned, then looked up at her sister and said, "I didn't know about this."

"It's not too late to find out now," Bai Shunan smiled.

Bai Shuruo's eyes turned red, and she choked up: "Sister, you are so good to me."

Bai Shunan laughed: "You are my closest relative in this world. If I'm not good to you, who would I be good to?"

"Sister, I will pay you back for this money later."

"It won't be too late to pay me back when you have money," Bai Shunan said.

Bai Shuruo's psychological defenses crumbled a bit, and she finally began to cry.

"Silly girl, Sister knows you are worried about Xiaofeng, but look, Xiaofeng hasn't called you these two days; she must be doing very well in Fengcheng. You don't need to worry about her. Now you just focus on going to Beishi and getting settled there, and strive to have more time to see Xiaofeng. If you have time, you can bring Xiaofeng back to see us, and I will be satisfied."

Bai Shuruo nodded.

……

On the third morning, Bai Shuruo finally received a call from Xiaofeng.

"Mom!" Xiaofeng's voice was very excited.

"Xiaofeng..." As soon as Bai Shuruo answered the phone, she couldn't help but shed tears.

The days separated from Xiaofeng felt like three autumns; she had already been separated from her for three days.

"Xiaofeng, are you doing well over there?" Bai Shuruo asked.

Xiaofeng said, "Very well, Mom. It's very fun here; there's a big Manor and a big swimming pool. Today Grandma and Grandpa took me out to swim. The water in the pool was warm; I'm so happy."

Bai Shuruo asked again, "Then who do you sleep with at night?"

"I sleep with Dad. Grandma also wanted to sleep with me, but she couldn't win against Dad. Grandma got anxious yesterday and almost argued with Dad, but she still couldn't win against Dad."

Hearing this, Bai Shuruo couldn't help but want to cry.

Han Yangting was just that kind of person; whoever he liked, he would pamper her into his heart. He must be pampering Xiaofeng very much.

"Mom, I'm going to kindergarten in a while," Xiaofeng added.

Bai Shuruo asked, "Which kindergarten are you going to?"

"Xiaofeng doesn't remember the name of the kindergarten. Mom, I have an ID card now." Xiaofeng really wanted to share everything with her mom.

"Oh? Xiaofeng has an ID card?" That must mean the household registration was processed.

"What is the name on Xiaofeng's ID card?"

"Han Jiarui. Grandma says 'Rui' means auspicious."

"The name Xiaofeng sounds really nice," Bai Shuruo said. "It sounds very cultured the moment you hear it."

Only then did Xiaofeng ask, "Mom, when are you coming to see me? I miss you so much, Mom."
