Chapter 752: Taking a Vacation in Suzhou
Chapter 752: Taking a Vacation in Suzhou
With a tap of the finger, I was instantly transported to Chapter 752: A Wonderful World Where I Go for a Vacation in Suzhou.
A week later, Huang Erhe and Cheng Jing went to Cheng's parents' house as usual. Every Saturday was the day when Cheng's siblings would return home, so the Cheng family was always exceptionally lively on this day.
As soon as the two women, along with Maowa and Miguo, entered the house, Cheng Jing was pulled into her parents' room by her eldest sister, Cheng Li. Her third sister, Cheng Jie, and her youngest sister, Cheng Ling, followed them in as well.
"I heard from Mom that you're planning to have another child?" Cheng Li got straight to the point, while Cheng Jie and Cheng Ling waited with wide eyes for Cheng Jing's reply.
"Mm!" Cheng Jing nodded.
At this moment, Cheng Jie, who was standing to the side, asked with a worried look, "What about your job?"
Before Cheng Jing could respond, Cheng Jie reminded her again, "Let me tell you, no matter what, you must have your own job. Never be a housewife. Look at how miserable those rich wives in TV dramas who don't have jobs end up!"
Cheng Jing smiled happily and said, "Who said I was going to resign? I can still go to work as usual. In addition, Erhe and I have discussed it and agreed that I will take a long leave from the factory in five or six months and can go back to work after giving birth."
The eldest sister, Cheng Li, asked in shock, "What? You can go back to work after giving birth? Don't you know you'd be fired for having a baby in this situation?"
Cheng Jie and Cheng Ling, the two sisters, nodded with worried expressions. Judging from their expressions, the three sisters had some different opinions about Cheng Jing's pregnancy, mainly because they were worried that Cheng Jing would lose her job because of it.
The specific arrangements for Huang Erhe and Cheng Jing to have a child are not yet clear to Cheng's parents, so the information that Cheng's sisters received from their parents is not complete, which is why the current situation has occurred. All of this is out of concern for their own sisters.
Cheng Jing could naturally guess the care and love her three sisters had for her. To put her family at ease, she told her sisters about her plans to have the baby.
"Erhe said that his younger brother had arranged everything for me to give birth in Hong Kong. Erhe said that he also has a house in Hong Kong, which is usually taken care of and can be moved in at any time. This house was given to him by his younger brother. Erhe also said that the hospital where I will give birth is also his younger brother's, called Kangci Hospital, which has one of the top medical standards in Asia. So I don't need to worry about the hospital."
The three sisters were utterly astonished. They had never realized that it was possible for wealthy people to have children in this way. But what shocked them even more was yet to come.
Cheng Jing continued, "Erhe's younger brother said that giving birth in Hong Kong doesn't violate any policies, and the child will directly receive a Hong Kong identity card after birth, so it won't affect their future studies or work on the mainland, because Hong Kong is also part of China!"
Upon hearing this, the three sisters were utterly shocked, but then suddenly realized, "So that's how it can be done?"
However, this relieved the three sisters of their worries, and all three sisters were happy for Cheng Jing.
The eldest sister, Cheng Li, in particular, expressed her unequivocal support: "Have the baby! You must have the baby!"
Third Sister Chengjie quickly echoed in agreement, "Yes, yes, yes! Having a child with Erhe will only benefit you in securing your position in the Huang family in the future, without any harm."
Cheng Ling, holding Cheng Jing's arm with an envious look, exclaimed, "Fourth Sister, you can even give birth in Hong Kong? Hong Kong, you know!"
Meanwhile, Huang Erhe was discussing something with Cheng's parents.
"Dad! Mom! Spring is almost here again, and I have a house near Taihu Lake in Suzhou. So I'd like to arrange a weekend for the whole family to stay there for a couple of days, enjoy the local cuisine, see the beautiful scenery, and relax!"
Cheng's parents naturally had no objection to their son-in-law's suggestion. Most old Shanghainese like to travel to the surrounding areas from time to time, and Cheng's parents were no exception. In their opinion, going to Suzhou was very close and would not be a big burden on their fourth son-in-law. Besides, it was also a token of their son-in-law's good intentions.
Moreover, the idea of the whole family getting together to go out and relax is incredibly tempting for Cheng's parents; it sounds wonderful!
So Cheng's father made the decision: "Okay! Erhe, you'll have to do the work and set a date. Our whole family will go!"
At this moment, Cheng's mother timely reminded him, "Erhe, when we go out to play, affordability is the most important thing. Don't be extravagant!"
Huang Erhe replied with a smile, "Dad, Mom, don't worry! It definitely won't be extravagant!" In Huang Erhe's view, this trip to Suzhou was to stay in his own villa, so there was no need for accommodation fees. Moreover, "Tantai Villa" also has an exclusive clubhouse where a chef can come to prepare three meals a day. He didn't have to bear these costs either, as they were all covered by an overseas trust fund established by his younger brother, Huang Xiaochuan.
In other words, once he arrived, Huang Erhe only needed to handle the reception duties; he didn't need to worry about the expenses at all. He simply wouldn't have the opportunity to spend money at Huyin Garden and Tantai Villa.
Even if you go to Suzhou city, it won't cost much. It's just the cost of entrance fees and food. How much could that be?
Actually, this suggestion was made by Lao Huang and Huang Erhe. Lao Huang felt that the Cheng family was very understanding, and Huang Erhe, as their son-in-law, should naturally repay the Cheng family elders and other family members. After learning about it, Huang Xiaochuan also agreed with his father's suggestion, not only with his words but also with a lot of practical support.
That's why Huang Erhe took the initiative to invite me today.
When the whole family gathered for dinner that evening, Cheng's father shared the good news with everyone at the table.
"I have something to tell you. In a few days, let's pick a Saturday or Sunday. Erhe will take our whole family to Suzhou for a couple of days. You all work pretty hard usually, so this is a good opportunity for you to go out and relax."
When the children of the married family heard about this, they all agreed!
Especially the youngest daughter, Cheng Ling, was the first to stand up and agree: "Great! I've wanted to go to Suzhou for ages. I originally planned to go during the Labor Day holiday, but now I can go earlier, which will save me money, hehe!"
Cheng Jie, the third daughter of the Cheng family, took the initiative to handle all the family's transportation when going out: "I'll take care of the car!"
Cheng Li, the eldest daughter of the Cheng family, laughed and said, "You have to be in charge. You're the only one in our family who works at the travel agency."
At this moment, Huang Erhe waved his hand and said, "No need, no need. I've already arranged the car. In short, everyone just needs to send one person. You don't need to prepare anything else."
