After finishing the housing issue, she started thinking about the school. She figured she could just draw a simple version of the school she used to attend.

The school will run from first grade to fifth grade. We don't know exactly how many children there will be, so we'll start with one floor per grade, four classes per floor. There will be restrooms on the left and teachers' offices on the right. There will be five floors in total. Opposite the teaching building, we are building a teachers' office building and a multi-purpose building, which will include a dance studio, an art room, a calligraphy room, a music room, and a sports equipment room. Finally, Ruan Ruan thought about it and decided that since Fang Zhengjian has already built it, she would add a martial arts room.

Between the two buildings is a playground. From left to right, there are ping-pong tables, a running track, a performance stage in the middle of the playground, a flagpole next to it, and a basketball court on the right.

Looking at the simple sketch she had drawn, Ruan Ruan was quite satisfied, but she didn't know if Chen Liang and the others could understand it.

Huo Haocheng returned with food after dark. As soon as he entered the door, he saw his wife smiling happily at a few pieces of paper.

"You're back! Come and see, this is my drawing of housing developments and schools, what do you think?"

Huo Haocheng placed the lunchbox on the table, walked over to her, took the paper she was holding, and looked at it carefully. Inside the large box containing the price, there were several smaller boxes, distinguished only by their size. If he hadn't seen the labels she had written in each box, Huo Haocheng wouldn't have been able to tell what she was drawing. However, through the written explanation, he could understand her meaning and could only sigh in gratitude to his grandfather for allowing him to read and write.

After carefully reading through all the papers, he couldn't help but marvel again at how perfect his wife's ideas were. There were so many things she hadn't even thought of, especially the school facilities. Nowadays, schools focus primarily on academics; who would think about cultivating children's interests?

"Very good," she thought for a moment, then added, "Very thoughtful."

He returned the papers to her, watched her tuck them into a book, and then led her out for dinner.

While eating, Ruan Ruan thought that the teachers' dormitory hadn't been drawn yet. When they came, they definitely couldn't stay in the staff and family quarters. One reason was that she was afraid of encountering a malicious person who might say something unpleasant, and the other was that she was worried the scholars would feel uncomfortable. Besides, the staff and family quarters weren't far from the school, so there would be opportunities to meet eventually. There was no rush; she wanted to give both sides some time to adjust.

"By the way, do you have any martial arts experts here that you could introduce me to?"

Huo Haocheng just saw it too; in her plan, there is a martial arts room.

He thought for a moment. There was a platoon leader in the army who was said to come from a family of martial arts, but he was still an active-duty soldier. "I'll go and inquire for you tomorrow," he said. He couldn't give her a definite answer, otherwise it would be troublesome if they couldn't find him and she kept waiting.

"Okay, then I'll wait for your results."

After dinner, Huo Haocheng went to boil water to wash up, while Ruan Ruan continued to draw the teachers' dormitory she had just thought of.

Before long, she was soaking in the hot water, exclaiming, "Oh, this feels so good!"

She's been running around outside for so many days, and when she comes back she's so exhausted that her whole body feels like it's falling apart. She just collapses into bed and falls asleep. She doesn't have time to take a bath at all.

"If you feel comfortable, soak a little longer. Call me when the water gets cold; the water is still boiling in the pot."

After saying that, Huo Haocheng began washing their clothes.

After soaking for about half an hour, she got up and said, "I'm done. Come on, soak yourself too."

After saying a few words to him, she went back to her room on her own. Perhaps it was because of the relaxing bath that she felt sleepy after a short while.

When he hurriedly finished washing up and returned to the room, he saw her curled up in a ball under the covers, already snoring softly. It was clear that she was really tired; otherwise, why would someone who usually breathes very lightly in her sleep be snoring today?

He had just lain down in bed when the little one, drawn by the scent, rolled into his arms.

I turned off the lights, held her in my arms, and drifted off to sleep.

It started raining in the middle of the night, so Huo Haocheng got up and left early without waking her. She never goes out on rainy days, no matter how busy she is. I don't know when she developed this strange habit.

She slept very soundly, and only woke up at noon, accompanied by the sound of raindrops pattering on the ground outside.

She got up and listened to the rain outside the window. If she weren't hungry, she wouldn't have gotten up at all.

I lingered in bed for a while, but my stomach just wouldn't cooperate and kept growling. I had no choice but to get dressed and get out of bed.

After washing up, I drank some of the congee that Huo Haocheng had brought back, and then I heard some noise coming from outside the courtyard.

She put down her bowl and had just stepped out the door when she saw Huo Haocheng returning with someone.

"Awake? Have you eaten?" He led the man into the room, and as soon as he finished asking the question, he saw a half-eaten bowl of porridge on the table, but said nothing.

"This is Meng Kai. Didn't you say yesterday that you wanted to find a martial arts coach? He was the first person I thought of. His family is a martial arts family. I just asked him, and he has an uncle who is very good in all aspects and is perfect for the job."

He introduced her to the people he brought back, then went up and drank the white porridge in one gulp. After that, he took the food he brought back to the kitchen and put it into a bowl.

"Sister-in-law, hello, my name is Meng Kai, sorry to bother you." Meng Kai never expected that the usually domineering man would have to eat his sister-in-law's leftovers at home! If others found out, wouldn't they explode?

The person who came back with Huo Haocheng was the Meng Kai family, the martial arts family he had thought of before. He was now a platoon leader in the army. After training in the morning, he went to look for him but couldn't find him at their training ground. After asking around, he finally stopped him in the canteen.
