Ch. 65 - Big Idea

When Father Hua returned, he discovered that they took the refrigerator and TV. Despite this turn of events, he still remained calm and impassive.

He packed his belongings, shut off the electricity in the house, and placed the suitcase into the trunk of his car. Then, he called the agent to hand over the keys.

Father Hua went back to the hospital after that.

Mother Hua noticed Father Hua's odd behavior.

Today, Father Hua looked very exuberant and energetic because he wasn't on duty last night. He was supposed to go to work today, but instead, he stayed by Mother Hua's side in her ward for the entire day.

At first, she wanted to sketch a design. But when she finished her sketch, she couldn't help but sneak a glance at him, "Don't you have to go to work today?"

Father Hua peeled an apple as he replied, "I handed in my resignation letter a month ago."

"You resigned?" Mother Hua asked in shock. "Why?"

"Because..."

Father Hua pondered, ' Why? I probably did it because I wanted to do something of my own volition for once .'

"I contacted a housing agency, and they put up our house for sale. My mom and family won't look for me anymore, so could I live with you at your home now?"

Mother Hua was taken aback for a moment, "What did you...do?"

Mother Hua grew up wreathed by her parents' love, and she also held great respect for the elders in her life, so she was worried that Father Hua might have regrets about leaving his family behind if he truly did separate from them.

But primarily, she was concerned that Father Hua would one day accuse Miaomiao of being responsible for all of this. This was why she believed that they shouldn't drag things out. They should just divorce and get it over with instead of having to face an insurmountable amount of problems in the future.

Father Hua said, "Pediatricians are prone to face medical retaliation. This is normal."

Mother Hua frowned, "You met again?"

Father Hua replied, "Yes. Sort of. I frightened them away, so they shouldn't be back for a while."

Mother Hua inquired, "Isn't this a difficult decision for you?"

Father Hua always desired love and recognition from his family. Whatever one lacked as a child, he tended to pursue those things as an adult. Inevitably, some passions could not be extinguished, but rather they would burn even brighter with time.

As a result, she had always been very understanding of this matter. She would have surrendered to the Hua family's whims if not for Miaomiao.

Father Hua pondered for a while. He answered the question about whether his decision was difficult or not, "It isn't as difficult as I imagined. Of course, I would feel very uncomfortable if you decided to divorce me anyway."

Mother Hua: "..."

The factors, which influenced Mother Hua’s decision to divorce from him, were manifold, but these problems have now been resolved, and...Mother Hua thought of Miaomiao’s well-being. Although she initially believed that they should be fine so long as they had each other. As long as she remained by Miaomiao's side, it shouldn't matter whether or not she was devoid of a father figure. But now, she realized that Miaomiao’s lack of a father figure was concerning.

Mother Hua suddenly laughed, "So. Do you want to be a full-time father?"

"I've already found a job."

Mother Hua: "..." And I thought Miaomiao would finally have a full-time father.

Miaomiao was at school today. She was completely unaware that she would still have a father who would sharpen the pencil for her.

She was engaged in a serious conversation with Jingjing. She turned to Jingjing and said solemnly, "Jingjing, you can't collect the money for me because your calculations are always incorrect. I'll ask Zhouzhou to do the calculations since he could easily figure out the costs for two and a half catties."

Jingjing was unhappy, "Then what will I do?"

"We'll sell the vegetables together. Just like those people."

Those people referred to those street merchants who sold vegetables outside of the supermarkets. These costermongers would sit on the side of the road, display their vegetables in front of them, and then they yelled, "I grew the vegetables myself. I'm selling them for cheap!"

Miaomiao thought that she and Jingjing could be very good street sellers of vegetables.

When Jingjing digested Miaomiao's statement, she found it reasonable. Her loud voice would definitely attract many customers.

Miaomiao suddenly got another idea, so she said to Jingjing enthusiastically, "We could also dance. This will draw in many potential customers."

There were large crowds who watched them as they performed the square dance in the community park.

A feeling of excitement enveloped Miaomiao since she felt as if she had concocted a brilliant idea. She wanted to earn some money to assuage some of the pressure that beset her mother. She didn't want her to hurt herself by going to work.

Jingjing also agreed that it was a brilliant idea. Deng Feng sat next to Jingjing, but he was rushing through his homework in order to finish it; therefore, he didn't partake in this colloquy.

Zhou Yuan buried himself in his book at the time. He probably heard everything, but his face remained impassive.

Children really do have the wildest imaginations.

Zhou Yuan conjured up the scene in his mind. He imagined two girls dancing, and one of them was clumsy with her dance moves.

The idea is certainly catchy.

As far as selling vegetables is concerned, once the plan is implemented, I believe that they could have a successful business.

Selling vegetables might work, but the part about growing vegetables definitely won't work since that’s a whole different matter, unless one could make vegetables come out of thin air.

Of course, we could rent some land in the suburbs and grow the vegetables in the greenhouses. To do all of this, we must have an adult to accompany us.

But the adults in their families weren't short on money or destitute. They definitely wouldn’t partake in these onerous tasks.

This is also very complicated.

Zhou Yuan pressed his temple in frustration.

Wait a minute. Why did I start mulling over growing vegetables? This gaggle of children is seriously indoctrinating me.

Although Miaomiao had a fun time with her friends at school, Miaomiao still longed for her mother very much.

Mom is alone in the hospital, so she must want me to come talk to her.

Fortunately, school will be over soon. Upon exiting the classroom, Miaomiao found Father Hua waiting outside.

Father Hua stretched out his hand to Miaomiao and said, "Miaomiao, let's go home."

Miaomiao approached his uncle and held his hand.

Dad finally realizes that he must hold the hands of his child when going outside.

Miaomiao felt very relieved. After all, she was the one who taught him that.

As they walked, she asked, "Are we going to visit mom today?"

Father Hua questioned, "Do you miss her?"

Miaomiao nodded. Then, she said, "I miss her so much. I want to see her."

Miaomiao couldn't suppress her desire to be by her mother's side at all times.

Translator's Thoughts Father Hua's family is terrible. They just abandoned him when he was in trouble. It's a good thing they left so Father Hua can finally reunite with his wife and daughter. Happy days are ahead for him!
