Shitou, who got a huge sum of money, went to the convenience store and did not save a penny. He spent all the two dollars his father gave him. When he came back, he was holding a lot of food.

Although Shitou likes to eat snacks, he is still very ethical and never eats alone. Even if there is only one of something, he will always find ways to ask adults to help split it into two halves, and he and his brother will each take half. This habit is a very good one.

Seeing the little guy's cheeks bulging, Chu Yue warned him, "Don't eat too much. You still need to eat when you get home later."

He took a box of biscuits from the bag and handed it to Mu Tou, then took another biscuit and stuffed it into Chu Yue's mouth, grinning and saying, "Dad, don't worry. I'm in the growth stage now. I can eat two bowls of rice after eating this."

The two brothers sat, one in the front and the other in the back. After they were seated, Chu Yue rode his bike home.

Yang Liu was in charge of cooking today. Li Qiuhe had just finished making the chive dumplings and handed the kitchen over to her.

There were still quite a lot of leeks in the yard. In addition to making leek boxes, Li Qiuhuo cut them all and prepared to pickle them later. They were delicious when eaten with porridge every morning.

While she was sitting in the yard picking leeks, Mu Tou and Shi Tou came back, and Chu Yue parked his bicycle nearby.

As soon as Shitou entered, he took out a biscuit and stuffed it into Li Qiuhe's mouth. "Grandma, eat it quickly. My dad just bought it. It's delicious."

"Well, we are really good stones."

The little guy is really a dog nose. He stretched his neck and tilted his head back to sniff around. "Grandma, it smells so good. I think I can smell the aroma of boiled fish."

The boiled fish in the restaurant is always fragrant and spicy. Because there are children at home and Chu Yue can't eat spicy food, Yang Liu modified the taste to suit their family's taste.

"You have a really sensitive nose!" Li Qiuhe smiled and tapped the little guy's forehead with her finger.

Then he added, "Eat less snacks. Your mom made your favorite sweet and sour pork and boiled fish today. I also made leek dumplings. They're all your favorites. Be careful you won't be able to eat more later."

When Shitou heard there were so many delicious foods, his eyes lit up. He touched his belly and grinned, saying, "Don't worry, grandma. Although I'm small, my belly can hold a lot of food."

After saying this, he ran into the house.

Yang Liu had already put the boiled fish in a bowl and poured hot oil on it, and the aroma was immediately brought out.

"Mom, have you made something delicious again?"

"Yes, as long as you two are obedient, I will make delicious food for you whenever I have time."

After receiving his mother's promise, Shitou was so happy that he almost flew up. He counted on his fingers and muttered, "I also want to eat French fries and chicken legs. Can you make them for me next time? My classmates said that fried chicken legs are especially delicious."

"Okay, I'll arrange it for you this weekend."

"Oh, that's great, thank you, Mom." If Yang Liu didn't smell like cooking smoke, Shi Tou would probably rush over and kiss her on the cheek.

Chu Yue cleared the table outside and asked the two brothers to go out and wash their hands. He came in and saw his wife pouring out the rice soup from the pot. She ignored him. He touched his nose and said embarrassedly, "Liu Liu, didn't you go out to discuss business with someone? Why are you back so early?"

"Hmph, you still have the nerve to ask." Yang Liu glared at him.

After saying this, she ignored him and went out with the dishes.

Chu Yue knew that his wife knew he came back so early today and must have heard something.

At the dinner table, Yang Liu kept picking up food for the two brothers and didn't eat anything herself. In order to make up for it, Chu Yue hurriedly picked up food for her.

After dinner, seeing Yang Liu was about to help the two brothers with their homework, Chu Yue quickly took over and said, "Liu Liu, you're tired from work today. I'll go take a shower and rest first. I'll help them today."

In fact, the two brothers don't need any tutoring at all. It's just that when Yang Liu has time, he will accompany them to read extracurricular books and tell them stories, so that they can learn more knowledge beyond the textbooks and avoid becoming nerds from studying too much.

"Okay, tell them the rest of the story according to the extracurricular book."

Chu Yue went to his son's room. Although he was there, he was obviously still thinking about how to coax his wife later.

Mu Tou noticed that his father was distracted, so he said very considerately, "Dad, if you have something to talk to my mom about, then you can go over first. I understand this story, and I'll tell it to Shi Tou."

Chu Yue rubbed his head, feeling particularly relieved, and nodded, saying, "Okay, then I'll go out first. I'll take you to the museum next time I have time."

When I returned to the room, Yang Liu had just finished washing up and was sitting in front of the dressing table, drying her hair with a handkerchief.

Chu Yue walked over silently, took the handkerchief from her hand, and whispered, "I'll help you wipe it."

Seeing that his wife didn't say anything, but didn't reject him either, Chu Yue finally mustered up the courage to explain, "Liu Liu, I know what you're angry about. When I graduated, Qin Meixia came to see me. She said her family had connections in the government and that if I wanted, she could get me a good job. But I had already told her very clearly at the time to give up on that idea."

"Then why didn't you tell me at the time? I was kept in the dark like a fool. I only found out about it yesterday when Qin Meixia told me about it."

"You have no idea how sad I was after hearing what she said yesterday. I was even angry that I couldn't help you." The more Yang Liu spoke, the more depressed she became, and her voice was even choked with sobs.

Chu Yue's face was filled with heartache. He quickly hugged her in his arms, patting her back repeatedly to comfort her. "Liu Liu, I have enough confidence that I can handle my work on my own. I don't need your help. Just knowing that you care about me so much makes me happier than getting a promotion or a raise."

"Really? You don't mind that I don't have a prominent family background and can't help you with other things?"

Yang Liu knew that the nature of Chu Yue's job was rather special, and that there was a system of individual positions for each person. People without connections who wanted to get ahead needed not only incredible effort but also opportunities. However, if one had connections, a promotion and salary increase would often be a matter of a word from the leader.

"Someone like you is just right. And who says you can't help me? You make more money than I do now. I feel like I'm a gigolo. Now I'm completely dependent on you for support. You can't despise me."

Yang Liu was comforted by him in just a few words. She couldn't help but raise her head and snort in his arms, and said with a proud face: "That depends on your performance?"

"Okay, I guarantee you'll be satisfied." Chu Yue narrowed his eyes, leaned close to her ear and blew hot air into her ear, saying ambiguously.
