Chapter 2186: Chapter 2186: Life in the Capital Isn’t Easy
"Is the landlord your friend?" Shang Siling understood that only a close friend or relative would be so willing to lend their house for free.
"Li Xuan helped us find it," Sun Rongfang said. "She said the landlord is a friend of Dr. Cao."
On hearing the words "Dr. Cao," Shang Siling suddenly realized: It all made sense now.
Is it really just a friend of the landlord? Could it be that the landlord is Cao Yong himself? Or a member of his family?
While they were talking, Xiao Shugang walked slowly along the sidewalk after buying things.
"Dad." Xiao Duoduo ran over and grabbed her dad’s hand carrying the bags.
Xiao Shugang handed the candied hawthorn to his daughter, saying, "Give it to your aunt and cousin first."
Following her father’s directions, Xiao Duoduo opened the paper bag and distributed the snacks while chirping, "My dad bought it."
"Thank your dad." Sun Rongfang took the snacks and gently patted the child’s head.
"Aunt." Xiao Shugang stood in front of the elders.
The handsome and tall nephew always looked impressive, although he’d lost weight after the car accident. Sun Rongfang looked at his rosy complexion and steady gait as he walked, and happily said, "Looks like he’s completely recovered."
"Yes, the doctors in the Capital are excellent." Xiao Shugang smiled and nodded.
"I met Dr. Shim who performed surgery on you before," Sun Rongfang remarked. "The doctors in the Capital are indeed better than those in our small town."
"The Capital is the nation’s medical center," Shang Siling chimed in, praising Xie Wanying, "It’s amazing Yingying got into Guoxie for her studies—she’s truly exceptional."
After giving the candied hawthorn to her cousin Yingying, Xiao Duoduo turned around, hearing her mother’s words, and asked, "Mom, can I transfer to a primary school in the Capital?"
Why did this child suddenly say that?
The little girl didn’t quite understand what she was talking about. Attending primary school in the Capital requires a household registration there. If possible, Shang Siling dreams of sending her daughter to schools in the Capital, because it means receiving the best compulsory education nationwide and having advantages in college entrance exams.
To this, Shang Siling could only give a wry smile and encourage her daughter, "Aim to get into a university in the Capital like your cousin did."
Xiao Duoduo pouted a little. By the time she went to university, it would be too late to see the person she wanted to meet frequently.
"She’s not thinking about school." A daughter’s little thoughts can’t deceive her mom, so Shang Siling explained the situation to the unaware Sun Rongfang.
"What is she thinking about?" Sun Rongfang asked curiously.
"She’s thinking about meeting Yingying’s classmate, Doctor Pan." Shang Siling replied.
These kids had no resistance upon seeing a handsome young guy in the Capital. Sun Rongfang instantly thought of her son, who had changed dramatically.
"By the way, where is Youtian?" Shang Siling pondered why another child wasn’t around.
"He brought his winter homework and is doing it," Sun Rongfang said.
"Is he upstairs?" Shang Siling asked.
This young boy is commendable, studying diligently.
"No," Sun Rongfang said, her face full of embarrassment.
Her son had been in Cao Yong’s office getting an IV drip, doing his homework there. So, not only did the doctor take care of her son and treat him, but he also helped him with his winter homework.
The little nephew got a one-on-one tutoring session from the doctor. Listening to this, Xiao Duoduo immediately grabbed her mom’s clothes and said, "I have homework to do, too."
