Three days later, Ye Qingqing met Zou Hanqiu and his wife. His wife was not in the entertainment industry, nor was she a beauty. She had an ordinary appearance, but she had a special peaceful and serene temperament that made people feel very comfortable.

Having seen countless beauties, Zou Hanqiu was bound to experience aesthetic fatigue. What he needed more was spiritual connection, which is why he married Mrs. Zou, who brought him peace and tranquility.

As it turns out, spiritual connection is a hundred times more important than beauty. When Zou Hanqiu announced his marriage to his wife, the media was full of pessimistic predictions, and some prophets even predicted that the couple would separate within a year.

Compared to Zou Hanqiu's previous girlfriends, Mrs. Zou is nothing special. Zou Hanqiu had a rich romantic history before marriage, and all of his girlfriends were people in the entertainment industry and were great beauties. His marriage to his wife surprised many people.

But the couple completely shut out the outside world and lived their own quiet life behind closed doors, enjoying it immensely. If it weren't for the heartbreaking incident involving their child, they could truly be described as a perfect couple.

"Hello, Miss Ye, thank you for your help." Mrs. Zou's voice was also very pleasant, as melodious as a mountain spring.

Actually, after watching them for a while, you'll realize that Mrs. Zou and Zou Hanqiu look quite like a married couple, and their affection isn't just an act. You can tell from their eye contact that they care about each other and have a genuinely good relationship.

Ye Qingqing smiled and said, "You can just call me Xiao Ye, don't be so polite."

She really liked Mrs. Zou's gentle temperament. Later she learned that Mrs. Zou came from a scholarly family. Her parents, brothers and sisters were all university teachers, and she herself was also a university teacher. If it weren't for the accident involving her child, she would probably still be teaching now.

Mrs. Zou smiled gently, her eyes crinkling, exuding the charm of a woman from Jiangnan. Moreover, Ye Qingqing noticed that her Mandarin was very standard, even somewhat familiar. Before she could ask, Zou Hanqiu smiled and said, "My wife's hometown is in Shengxian, not far from Pingjiang. Her accent is a bit like yours."

"No wonder the accent sounded familiar. It only takes two hours to get to Shengxian by car, but there are many mountain roads there, so it's a bit rugged."

Ye Qingqing had been to Shengxian County before. The most famous thing there was the thousand-year-old Torreya grandis tree, which was so big that more than a dozen people couldn't hug it. It was said that a single tree could bear hundreds of kilograms of fruit. But there was no highway yet, and walking on the mountain roads was really tiring. She didn't get carsick on flat roads, but she would get carsick every time she went to Shengxian County. The mountain roads had eighteen bends and the scenery was beautiful, but it was really dizzying.

Mrs. Zou laughed, “My hometown is halfway up the mountain. There are a few torreya trees in front of the house. Every autumn, every household would roast torreya nuts. The aroma is intoxicating. Sigh... I haven’t eaten torreya nuts for many years. There’s nowhere to buy them in Hong Kong.”

Ye Qingqing blinked, rushed into the room, and then rushed out again, carrying a bag of dried fruit. It was the torreya nuts that Mrs. Zou had been longing for. Lu Mo's mother, Lin Shufang, was from a neighboring county of Shengxian, which happened to also produce torreya nuts. At that time, torreya nuts were not worth much and were eaten like melon seeds. Relatives from the countryside would send some over every year.

But Ye Qingqing loves to eat it, and Ye Tong and Tian Tian, ​​the little ones, also love to eat it, so Lin Shufang made a special trip back to her hometown this year and bought dozens of kilograms, enough for the little ones to eat.

Chinese torreya nuts are a type of dried fruit that doesn't cause internal heat, and they can also expel roundworms and moisturize the lungs, making them quite effective. Although they are currently not popular, the United States suddenly became obsessed with them, causing the price of this small dried fruit to skyrocket. At its most expensive, a pound of Chinese torreya nuts cost 200 yuan, making them unaffordable for most people.

Mrs. Zou's eyes lit up, and her mouth unconsciously watered. She hadn't eaten torreya nuts since she went to Hong Kong, and she missed them so much!
