Yes, despite all the hardships, Chen Ke went to work in Hong Kong.

However, after four years of university life, Li Xia finally graduated and returned to Shenzhen.

Before this, although she had always wanted to read more books, she had never imagined how much reading could change her. Chen Rou also just wanted to make her mother's life a little better, so she even invested a sum of money in the wool mill.

Of course, the amount of money wasn't much, just 100,000 yuan, but that money saved it from being privatized. Instead, it was merged with several other wool textile factories and has now become a large wool textile factory specializing in foreign trade orders.

Li Xia's house is still there, of course. After she came back, she moved back in.

Although she felt that she should just stick to her original profession and be a technician in fabric research and development, who was she? She was a relative of Boss Nie. How could the factory possibly let her be a technician?

Li Xia was even a little frightened, because as soon as she returned to the factory, the former factory director, now secretary Gao, had a heart-to-heart talk with her, asking her to take overall responsibility for product research and development, and to be the deputy factory director. Suddenly, Li Xia became a leader.

Of course, they also arranged a large three-bedroom house for her to move into.

Chen Rou came with Nie Zhao for two reasons. First, she was afraid that if any of the Indians escaped, things would go wrong.

Secondly, her mother has finally returned to work, and she wants to see if she can adjust.

Oh, and there's a third point. Yue Zhongqi is also a bit slow-witted. Although she borrowed money from Chen Rou to buy a house, she was only willing to buy a small 65-square-meter house. But in her opinion, nowadays, the bigger the house, the better. Since she couldn't get away with Yue Zhongqi, she contacted that Secretary Qiao and wanted her to take the money directly.

Chen Rou had already been treated unfairly by her master in her past life, who could only give her a house.

Because Boss Nie liked to bring too many people with him when he went out, Chen Rou didn't take him. She just had the company driver take her to the Sanmao Factory, downstairs from Li Xia's old house. With a backpack on one side and A Yuan on the other, she went upstairs by herself.

Grandma is A-Yuan's favorite person; he turns on the TV as soon as he sees her.

Yes, today A-Yuan will eat his first candy, which was also given to him by his grandmother.

As soon as Mom came in, she handed him to Grandma and went to the bathroom. Grandma carried A-Yuan into a small room with a dark floor, but it was very clean. Then she grabbed a large cookie box.

A-Yuan doesn't actually like cookies because his baby food includes cookies, and he's already tired of them.

But when Grandma opened the box, she said, "Wait, something's not right."

A-Yuan liked it very much because he saw scissors, thin needles, and thread inside, and he liked that.

But Grandma closed it again, and A-Yuan was unhappy. He jumped on Grandma's lap and pouted.

Li Xia is good at coaxing children: "No rush, no rush, let's look at this one."

There was also a big cookie box. Grandma opened it with a snap, and inside was a white oil paper package with a white rabbit drawn on it. Grandma opened it again and said, "This was produced on the first production line in our country. It can only be sold in the Friendship Store in Shanghai. I specially asked someone to buy it for you, baby."

Ah Yuan ate it and found it to be a little soft and a little hard, with a very strong milky flavor, and then...

Ah Yuan sucked on it for a while, then bared his only eight teeth: "Ouch, ouch~"

Poor child, his father is too strict. He's already a year old and this is the first time he's ever eaten candy.

But the White Rabbit milk candy he ate was from the best production line in the country, the most fragrant one. It had an extremely smooth, thick, sweet taste that was a source of joy for many children on the mainland.

Ah Yuan didn't know how to describe him. He was like a little wolfhound, his legs were bouncy and jumping, his little mouth was howling and shouting, and white foam dripped from his chin. He couldn't help but laugh, and with his mouth full of candy, he gave his grandma a long, sticky kiss.

Grandma, of course, she'll spoil her rotten.

Seeing that A-Yuan liked it, we gave him the box too: "Let's take it home and eat it slowly, okay?"

Ah Yuan was overjoyed and shouted excitedly.

After washing her hands, Chen Rou came out and smelled the milky aroma of White Rabbit candy. She took the box from A Yuan, opened it, and wanted to eat some too.

Li Xia was actually a bad grandmother, a habit left over from the era of scarcity. She quickly turned the child away and whispered, "A Yuan loves this candy. You should eat it in secret, or I'm afraid he'll make a fuss."

She thought that A Yuan would be like her cousin Li Gang, always keeping the best food for himself.

In fact, not only is that not the case, but A Yuan and Li Gang are two extremes.

Chen Rou handed the box to A Yuan, then opened her mouth and said, "Ah, Mom wants to eat too, please."

A-Yuan grabbed a piece of candy from the box, smiled, and handed it to his mother, forbidding her from holding it in her hand and insisting on feeding it directly into her mouth.

Chen Rou then said, "Your Majesty also wants to eat, what should we do?"

Li Xia had only ever raised her greedy, selfish, and domineering younger brother, and she thought all children were selfish. A Yuan wouldn't give her candy either. But for A Yuan, who was born into an extremely affluent environment, food was not a precious thing. Moreover, his favorite thing to do was to share food with everyone and feed them.

However, his older siblings are now wary of him and rarely eat the food he feeds them, which deprives him of a lot of joy.

He grabbed a candy and saw Chen Rou unwrapping it. He even imitated her, unwrapping it as well, and then put it to his mouth, licking it with his tongue. But when Li Xia thought he was going to eat it himself, he smiled and put it in her mouth instead.
