"Really?" The other workers looked at the lunchbox in Cui Zhizhou's hand and asked curiously, "Professor Cui, what dishes did your daughter bring you? They smell really good."

Cui Zhizhou was in a good mood and didn't argue with Engineer Liu. He opened the lunchbox, revealing the food inside, and his face was full of smiles.

"The bamboo shoots are already here so early. One dish is stir-fried with shrimp, and the other is braised with small white pomfret. They smell delicious."

Mr. Liu couldn't help but say, "It looks pretty good, but it's a pity there's no meat. My daughter says we use our brains so much every day, we still need to eat some meat."

“Who said there’s no meat?” Cui Zhizhou took a can of Coconut Grove brand beef from the cabinet. “This can was specially made for me by my daughter. It’s different from the canned beef sold in stores; it’s braised in soy sauce.”

Mr. Liu said with a hint of bitterness, "My daughter was worried about me, so she specially made me a bag of dried sweet potatoes and dried shrimp today so I could eat them when I was hungry. Mr. Cui, your daughter must have made them for you too, right?"

"My daughter didn't bring me any dried sweet potatoes."

After Cui Zhizhou finished speaking, Engineer Liu's face was full of smiles. His daughter was the most considerate.

"However, my daughter brought me a bottle of lychee honey today." Cui Zhizhou took out the glass jar of lychee honey and said with a smile, "She said it's wild lychee honey. I talk a lot, so she asked me to use it to soothe my throat."

The two secretly competed with each other, always trying to outdo one another. In other areas, Cui Zhizhou would give way to the other, but when it came to matters of professional expertise and their daughter, Cui Zhizhou was extremely meticulous.

In his heart, Yu Yao was the best, and no one else could compare.

Yu Yao was completely unaware of this. The next day, she went to work as usual. When she got home from work, she saw several Liberation brand trucks parked on the dam in front of the family compound, surrounded by military families.

Su Meihua was also in it.

"Sister-in-law Meihua, why are there so many people here?"

"Yu Yao, you're off work. The comrades from the Capital Cultural Troupe have come to the island for a performance to comfort the people. These are the trucks that brought them back."

So that's how it is.

Yu Yao was about to leave, pushing her bicycle, when a pleasant voice came from the side.

"You're Yu Yao? I'm Ning Wan'er."
