Chapter 486 Extra 2

No one knows what Cheng Zhilan and Fu Zhenguo said to Ou Hao when they went to the airport that day.

Even Fu Zhenguo didn't know what Cheng Zhilan and Ou Hao had said.

Fu Zhenguo himself doesn't care, and others have no right to ask.

One day, Chao Chao Mu Mu took Cheng Zhilan's hand and said she wanted to hear a story.

Cheng Zhilan loves the two little ones very much, and she will agree to any request as long as it is not too excessive.

It's just telling a story, isn't that easy?

"A long time ago, there lived a little girl next to the forest. She loved the gift her mother gave her..."

Cheng Zhilan was interrupted by Chao Chao and Mu Mu before she could finish her words.

"She likes to wear her Little Red Riding Hood and wears it every day, so everyone calls her Little Red Riding Hood," Chao Chao said.

"She went to bring delicious food to her sick grandmother, and ended up meeting the Big Bad Wolf..." Twilight continued.

Chao Chao and Mu Mu looked at Cheng Zhilan, "Grandma, this story is old and we've heard it countless times! How about you tell us a different story?"

The corners of Cheng Zhilan's mouth twitched, and she thought to herself: Sometimes it is not a good thing for a child to be too smart.

"Then tell us a myth? Houyi shooting down the sun? Shennong tasting herbs? Nuwa mending the sky?"

"Or Journey to the West, Dream of the Red Chamber, Water Margin, or Romance of the Three Kingdoms?"

Cheng Zhilan brought out all the four great classics, but still failed to arouse the interest of the two little ones.

They just shook their heads: "No, we've heard all these stories!"

Cheng Zhilan was very tired. Taking care of children was already difficult, and taking care of two children with high IQs was even more of a headache.

"Then grandma, let me tell you my past story?" Cheng Zhilan asked tentatively.

Originally, she was thinking that the two little guys would definitely refuse.

Unexpectedly, they agreed: "Okay, okay, I want to listen, I want to listen."

Cheng Zhilan didn't expect them to be interested in her past, so she said, "Okay, then I'll start."

Cheng Zhilan was born in a merchant family in the capital, but her family soon fell into poverty. Her family of five grew up in a courtyard house in the capital.

Since the yard was shared by several households, they could only live on one side. A family of five had to squeeze together even for sleeping space.

Although Cheng Zhilan was disgusted, everyone was like this, and since she didn't have the ability to change, she could only put herself in a difficult position.

However, Cheng Zhilan has always had a grand dream, which is to make her family's life better by relying on her own strength.

Cheng Zhilan has always had good academic performance. After finishing junior high school, she was admitted to high school.

It was also in high school that she met Shao Fanghua, Ou Hao and others.

Cheng Zhilan, Shao Fanghua, Ou Hao and Shao Fanghua's boyfriend are best friends.

Cheng Zhilan still thought that they would always be best friends.

However, she never expected that fate would play such a trick on her, and in the end the four of them were separated.

She was not even with Ou Hao.

Back then, the Cheng family was very poor, and Cheng Zhilan secretly did some small business besides studying.

However, the government was very strict at that time, and individual businesses had not yet appeared. The economy was based on collectives. People like Cheng Zhilan who liked to do small business were seen by many as parasites who were eating the state's food.

Ou Hao's mother really dislikes Cheng Zhilan.

But Cheng Zhilan felt that there was nothing shameful about doing such a small business.

She would starve to death on the streets without money, so face is really not that important to her.

Once, I heard that there was a total lunar eclipse, a spectacle that only occurs once in decades.

Many people made an appointment to watch the total lunar eclipse together.

Cheng Zhilan, Ou Hao and others also made an appointment to go and see it together.

In order to avoid there being too many people at the appointed time, Cheng Zhilan suggested that they go there earlier.

Sure enough, when they went up the mountain, there were not many people there.

They occupied the best position.

At this time, Shao Fanghua discovered that a young couple was secretly putting red ribbons on each other.

At this time, even dating is strictly controlled and you cannot date casually. If you are discovered by the inspection team, it will be very troublesome.

That's why they secretly put strips on each other.

Shao Fanghua and her boyfriend are childhood sweethearts and have a good relationship, but they haven't broken the ice yet.

Shao Fanghua was curious and asked the couple why they wore red ribbons.

"My partner got a red ribbon from the Yue Lao Temple. They said that whoever wears the red ribbon will be together forever."

There were several couples on the mountain. When they heard that the red ribbon had this effect, they all clamored to get it.

Cheng Zhilan watched from the side and suddenly had an idea in her mind.

"Wait here for a moment, I'll be back soon."

Cheng Zhilan was about to leave when Ou Hao grabbed her and stopped her. Ou Hao said, "It's almost time to start, why are you going now?"

Cheng Zhilan was very anxious, she was worried that her plan to make money would be ruined!

She lied to Ou Hao and said, "I have something urgent to do. I will be back soon and will not miss the total lunar eclipse."

"I'm with you..."

Before Ou Hao could finish his words, Cheng Zhilan had already run away.

Ou Hao looked at his empty hands. He grabbed at the air but caught nothing. He couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Cheng Zhilan came to the foot of the mountain, searched for a while, and finally saw a tailor shop.

She asked the boss to sell her some scraps of cloth.

I don't want a complete one, I just want scraps of cloth.

The boss thought she was a little weird, but the scraps of cloth were useless anyway, and since they could be sold for money, she gave them to Cheng Zhilan.

Cheng Zhilan gave the boss a dollar and left with the scraps of cloth.

The boss happily took the dollar, but still felt that Cheng Zhilan was a little mentally unstable.

"Such scraps of cloth can't even be used to piece together a piece of cloth, and this girl still spends money to buy it. What a fool!"

Originally the boss was laughing at Cheng Zhilan for being stupid, but later she realized that it was she who was the stupid one, not someone else!

She started to shout on the way: "I got some cloth strips from Yue Lao Temple, 20 cents each. If couples wear them, they will be together forever and never separate."

Because Cheng Zhilan had great marketing eloquence and boasted about the product, she quickly sold out most of the cloth strips she had.

Cheng Zhilan left a few, thinking of giving two to Shao Fanghua and the others, and one to Ou Hao for the remaining two.

She wondered if Ou Hao would want it.

At this moment, the moon suddenly disappeared completely, and the whole earth was as if covered by a curtain, making it impossible to see one's hand in front of one's face.

When Cheng Zhilan looked up, she discovered that there was a total lunar eclipse!

She said, "Oh no!"

At this time, a young couple came towards them and asked Cheng Zhilan if she had any Yue Lao's cloth strips to sell.

Cheng Zhilan hesitated for a moment, and the couple said they could pay more.
