By the end of October, the academy was completely completed.

Thanks to the selfless donations of the officials, the library shelves are filled with a wide variety of classics.

In addition, the Daqin Academy's recruitment notice will be posted tomorrow, and the next step is to wait.

Ying Zheng directly handed over the entrance examination to the deans of each college.

In Yue Ning's words, everyone has their own specialization, but there is no order in work.

"A-choo!"

Chu Yuening, who was being talked about, rubbed her itchy nose and felt depressed.

You're not sick, are you?

Could it be that A Zheng misses her?

"A-choo~"

Seeing his mother's strange behavior, Ying Zhao also imitated her seriously.

"You little rascal, you're making fun of your mother."

The innocent and cute look of the cub made Chu Yuening pretend to be angry and started tickling his armpits.

In an instant, the cub started laughing so hard that he started hiccuping in Chu Yuening's arms, and his little hands, like lotus root nodes, kept resisting his mother's attacks.

Just as the mother and son were playing, a palace maid came over and reported that A Ye and A Hua had arrived.

Chu Yuening was extremely surprised and quickly called them into the hall.

"Sister!"

"Sister!"

They heard the voice before seeing the person, and the two siblings, A Ye and A Hua, ran and shouted excitedly.

Chu Yuening greeted them with her baby in her arms, her smile as bright as spring breeze.

After the two sat down on the sofa, Chu Yuening wiped their sweat with a handkerchief and patiently listened to them talk about recent events.

Seeing that he was being ignored, Ying Zhao pursed his lips and spoke out in grievance.

"Aunt, Uncle, don't you miss Zhao Zhao~"

"Of course I do. I came here today specifically to celebrate Zhao Zhao's birthday."

"Yes, Zhaozhao, uncle has prepared a gift for you!"

The little girl with red lips and white teeth acted coquettishly, and her cuteness immediately made the two people's hearts flutter.

Not caring about any surprises, A Ye couldn't wait to take out the birthday gift he had prepared.

It is an orange-yellow Cuju, wrapped and sewn with leather on the outside and stuffed with rice bran on the inside.

"Ball~Zhao Zhao likes it!"

Ying Zheng stared at Cuju with sparkling eyes, and it was obvious that he loved it very much.

"Zhao Zhao, this is Cuju. It's very fun. Uncle will teach you."

After explaining, A Ye put down the Cuju and kicked it gently towards Ying Zhao.

Seeing this, Chu Yuening helped the baby stand on the blanket and let him play by himself.

The two boys were having a lot of fun, while Chu Yuening and Ahua were drinking milk tea and watching the game.

After playing for a while, Ying Zhao was exhausted and out of breath. He reached out to his mother for a hug.

"You like playing Cuju so much? Can you let your father play with you from now on?"

"Okay, play with dad~"

Ah Hua put down her teacup and took out her gift.

"Zhao Zhao, this is the hat Auntie made for you."

"dragon!"

Ying Zhao took the black and gold dragon head hat, which was decorated with small dragon horns and tails, and was exquisite and novel.

"Auntie, Dai~"

Seeing that Zhaozhao liked it, Ah Hua breathed a sigh of relief and happily put it on him.

The cool and cute dragon head hat makes the delicate little dumpling even more adorable.

Chu Yuening couldn't help but kiss her several times, and she didn't forget to praise Ah Hua for her excellent design talent.

"Ahua's craftsmanship is really good! You can consider opening a clothing store in the future."

"Really..."

For some reason, Ah Hua's mood suddenly became low, her eyelashes drooped, as if she was hiding something on her mind.

"What's wrong, Ah Hua? If you have any troubles, you can talk to me."

Chu Yuening has always been perceptive, so Ah Hua's depressed aura naturally made her worried.

With the comfort of the person she trusted most, Ah Hua bit her lip and finally spoke.

"Sister, can I not get married?"

"Why not? You have the right and confidence to choose your own future life."

Chu Yuening stroked her black hair, with tenderness and appreciation in her eyes.

Ah Hua does not follow the crowd and awakens her independent consciousness, which is responsible for her own life. The bakery also gives her the courage to fight against the world.

"Thank you, sister."

There was someone who understood and supported her, which made Ah Hua choke up instantly. She buried herself in her sister's warm arms.

In this era, the mainstream idea is that men should get married when they are old enough and women should get married when they are old enough. It is shocking for a woman to set up her own home.

But at a young age, Ah Hua witnessed her parents' love and their separation.

Unlike her brother who is a boy, she is more sensitive and thoughtful as a girl.

Most men in the world are heartless and unlucky, while women work day and night, take care of the housework, and even risk their lives to give birth to children.

She doesn't want this...

She wants to live for herself.

Although A Ye, who was standing by, didn't understand why A Hua didn't want to get married, she was his only relative, and he would stand on his sister's side no matter what.

"Brother will support you too."

"Zhao Zhao can do it too~"

The cute little Dumpling didn’t understand anything about marriage, but he still tried to comfort his aunt earnestly.

This scene made Ah Hua burst into laughter. With the understanding and support of her family, what did the gossip of outsiders matter?

Time flies and the sun is already high in the sky outside.

Chu Yuening first made a small bowl of longevity noodles for Zizi, and then ordered someone to urge Ying Zheng to come over.

After everyone gathered, Zhao Zhao's birthday party began.

The cake was as white and soft as a cloud, sweet and tempting, making Ying Zhao smile with joy.

Chu Yuening put a small candle on the cake and lit it.

"Little birthday boy, blow out the candles~"

“Huh~”

The candles went out and several people began to cheer, but Ying Zheng was the only one who fell into deep thought as he looked at the little brat who was still drooling.
