Chapter 170: The two of them are still together, how could it be possible...

It was late at night and everyone was asleep. Yao Zhizhi was no longer sleepy.

There was no way, Zhou Juan’s incident still made her feel scared.

When it comes to educating children, she believes that strictness and leniency should be combined, but how should she strike the right balance?

How can we allow children to enjoy life freely, embrace a happy childhood, and avoid making mistakes?

This is difficult.

No one taught her how to be a mother. At such a young and ignorant age, she had a child and shouldered the responsibilities of a mother.

It’s all Qi Changxiao’s fault. A sick seedling has such good seeds.

She was afraid that she would be a failure as a mother.

Qi Changxiao sat up, leaned against the headboard, and held her in his arms, comforting her, "Don't overthink it. Just chop wood wherever you can. Besides, you're an excellent mother. The children will naturally follow your example and won't go too far."

"That's not what I meant. Isn't Zhou Ying an excellent mother? Look at Zhou Juan." Yao Zhizhi couldn't help sighing.

By learning from others, we can understand our gains and losses.

However, Zhou Juan is just a failed example, and Zhou Ying, who raised this example, is far away from Yao Zhizhi's life. She cannot learn lessons clearly from Zhou Ying.

You can only rely on your own imagination.

The only explanation she could think of was doting and indulgence.

So, could there be other reasons for Zhou Juan's personality? It's unclear.

Perhaps peers will also have a certain influence. How should she, as the child's mother, intervene when the time comes? I don't know.

What if it provokes a rebellious mentality in the child and backfires? Will she then take the initiative to compromise and seek other solutions? It's unclear.

All kinds of problems troubled her, making it impossible for her to sleep peacefully on such a warm spring night.

Qi Changxiao didn't know what was going on with Zhou Ying, but he could get a glimpse of it from the few times she had intervened.

He tried to analyze it, "Perhaps you're wrong. Perhaps Zhou Ying's excellence is fueled by her competitive nature. She appears approachable and undemanding, but in reality, it's just a clever disguise. This kind of disguise is exhausting. She works hard to pretend outside, but not in front of her children."

Yao Zhizhi pondered for a moment and nodded: "That's right, she was just a women's director in a rural area. How hard did she have to work to climb all the way to the provincial level?"

Qi Changxiao tightened his grip on Yao Zhizhi's shoulders. "So, don't overthink it. You and she are different. Being proactive and competitive are two completely different things. Considering how she instigated Director Hu's situation and how she assigned work to Zhou Juan, I reasonably suspect she's a highly skilled opportunist. To avoid intimidation, she conceals her competitive streak. She's like a chameleon; she may not possess immense power, but she's adept at disguise and possesses the patience to pounce and deliver a fatal blow. Zhou Juan, on the other hand, is still young and pampered, so she can't imitate her sophisticated tactics and is only influenced by her competitive streak. So, you see, many of Zhou Juan's actions smack of childish naiveté. She may not like children, but others have them, so she wants them too. She may not enjoy working, but Zhang Datong gets an extra thirty yuan bonus for his hard work, so she wants them too. That's her logic. She's full of Zhou Ying's influence, and you're different from her, so there's nothing to fear."

Yao Zhizhi smiled. This guy really knows how to comfort people.

I couldn't help but kiss him: "Okay, don't think about it anymore, go to sleep."

What's the hurry? Qi Changxiao pressed her into his arms and said, "Sleep with him first, then sleep."

The new issue of the magazine sold very well, especially the campus-farmland practice report provided by Yao Taotao, which received very good feedback.

After all, there is no farmland in the city. Even if these children attend classes for half a day and work for half a day, at most they can raise silkworms and play house in the mulberry forest behind the school.

Many times, labor cannot truly play the role of educating people.

The practical activity also invited Li Jing to do follow-up reporting and take a large number of photos. The magazine and newspaper worked together to prepare to continue to do several special topics, and would follow up on the subsequent rice planting, weed pulling and harvesting.

After get off work, Yao Zhizhi gave a few sample copies to Yao Taotao.

Yao Taotao was feeding her child medicine. Seeing her coming, she quickly put down the spoon in her hand and handed the child to Zhang Caini: "Hey, why are you here? The sample magazine is in the mailbox. I can get it myself."

"I want to ask you something." Yao Zhizhi hadn't seen Yao Taotao for a while. Maybe she knew her second sister and the others had moved here, so she deliberately avoided her.

Yao Taotao was indeed deliberately avoiding them. Every time she went to deliver the manuscript, she would do so late at night when everyone was asleep, so as not to offend Yao Miaomiao and the others.

So, seeing Yao Zhizhi coming over on her own initiative, she was really happy and quickly went to greet her: "What's the matter? Come in and tell me."

Yao Zhizhi came in and looked at the two children. Yao Jingjing's eldest son was quite tall, but his cheeks were a little thin because he was sick.

Director Hu's youngest son seemed much more energetic. He was eating seriously with an enamel bowl in his arms. When he saw Yao Zhizhi, although he didn't call anyone, he scooped a spoonful of egg custard and handed it to Yao Zhizhi.

Yao Zhizhi smiled and grabbed a handful of White Rabbit candies and placed them on the table: "Thank you, Xiaobao."

Turning around, she dragged Yao Taotao to the inner room and said, "I want to ask you something."

"Go ahead." Yao Taotao closed the door to prevent the children from hearing anything.

Yao Zhizhi found a chair and sat down, then asked, "Grandpa should have an adopted daughter whose mother's surname is Huang. Do you know such a person?"

"Last name Huang, adopted daughter? That means she's from my grandparents' generation?" Yao Taotao tried to search her memory and shook her head. "I don't remember. I'll ask my eldest sister later."

"If she doesn't know, ask Yao Jingye when you return to Yaowangzhuang. I'm too lazy to look for him. I get annoyed when I see him." Yao Zhizhi was helpless. Yao Taotao would not lie to her, so she could only wait.

Yao Taotao understood and asked, "Is this person important? Do we need to be more discreet in our inquiries?"

"Well, keep a low profile. I don't know how much influence this person has. Anyway, if you find out any news about her, also find out about her current descendants and tell me." Yao Zhizhi looked at the time. It was getting late. She took out two things from her canvas bag, handed them to Yao Taotao, and got up to leave.

Yao Taotao didn't have time to take a closer look, so she sent her to the door. When she came back, she saw that it was a box of powder and a shell of moisturizer.

Yao Taotao carefully put away the things and kept smiling foolishly while eating.

Cao Guangyi came over and asked, "What's going on? Why are you so happy? Did she introduce you to someone?"

Yao Taotao rolled her eyes. "I can find one myself, why do I need someone to introduce me? Behave yourself, or I'll find one tomorrow and make you mad."

Cao Guangyi was depressed. He picked up the bowl and chopsticks with a wronged look and worked as a diligent dishwasher.

The more I thought about it when I went to sleep, the more aggrieved I felt. Why? Why could other men sow seeds, but he had no seeds?

Oh, what bad luck.

It’s better to be content. It’s his great fortune to spend his life with such a beautiful woman. Don’t be so mean and make her unhappy.

Hurry up and try your best to please Yao Taotao.

Yao Taotao likes to be on top, which makes her feel comfortable and in control of everything.

It will also be more challenging and adventurous than other postures.

So in the end, it wasn't necessarily Cao Guangyi who pleased Yao Taotao, but Yao Taotao never let herself be wronged and knew how to enjoy a man's body.

Cao Guangyi was very excited. Afterwards, he crawled in Yao Taotao's arms and called her wife over and over again, but Yao Taotao refused to agree.

Cao Guangyi had no choice but to change his name: "Master, you haven't patted my head today. Is it because I'm not well behaved? I won't dare to do it next time. Don't be angry, okay?"

"Remember, Zhizhi is the most important person to me. You can only stand aside. Next time if you keep speculating about what she did, I will not want you anymore." Yao Taotao was really angry. Cao Guangyi was really petty, sneaky, and a stupid thing.

Who is Zhizhi? How could she introduce someone to someone when she knew they were still together?

Cao Guangyi is a complete idiot with a mean heart.

Cao Guangyi realized his mistake, raised his head, and barked pitifully twice: "I was wrong, master, please calm down, I won't dare to do it again."

Humph, seeing that he admitted his mistake with a good attitude, Yao Taotao avoided the embarrassment and touched his dog head.

This means that she is very satisfied with his performance tonight. If she refuses to touch him, Cao Guangyi will toss and turn and make a fuss, for fear that she will get tired of him and don't want him anymore.

Don’t say it, this way of getting along is pretty good.

Anyway, she has no plans to have children, so as long as he doesn't act like a troublemaker, they can stay together for a long time.

Just treat it as a male lover who is considerate and capable of working.

The next day after get off work at noon, she did not go home for lunch, but first gave the sample magazine to Xu Wei.

Xu Wei has been discharged from the hospital and returned home.

He did not live in the university staff dormitory, but lived with his parents in a separate small courtyard in the city center.

Yao Taotao asked along the way and found herself here, feeling inexplicably envious. What a courtyard filled with the scent of books! There was an entire wall of bookshelves in the house, filled with books.

Nowadays, a family that can keep such a large collection of books must have some extraordinary skills.

Yao Taotao politely greeted Xu's parents: "Hello, uncle and auntie, I'm Yao Taotao, a labor teacher at Nancheng Primary School. I'm here to deliver sample magazines to Teacher Xu. Which room is he in?"

"It's Teacher Yao, please come this way." Xu's mother was dignified and graceful, a middle-aged aunt with some charm. Seeing a pretty woman coming to visit, she was very enthusiastic and quickly led Yao Taotao to the west room.

After knocking on the door, Xu's mother called out, "Weiwei, Teacher Xiao Yao wants to see you. Can you come in?"

Xu Wei was lying there, and Zhou Juan started crying again because he refused to pay attention to her. It was really annoying.

It was rare for a guest to come over and let him take a breath, so he quickly responded, "Please come in."
