At night, in the military compound.

Jiang Zhining was in a trance, as if she came to a place where she saw Song Yuzhou covered in blood.

Then a sniper rifle was pointed at him.

"Song Yuzhou!" Jiang Zhining shouted, and quickly sat up, waking up from her sleep.

Looking at the environment in front of her, Jiang Zhining gasped.

He covered his pounding heart and his breathing became rapid.

Thinking of what she had just dreamed, Jiang Zhining was still frightened.

"It's just a dream." Jiang Zhining murmured.

It has been ten days since Song Yuzhou left, and I don’t know how the situation is going there.

Perhaps because of the nightmare she had just had, Jiang Zhining couldn't calm down.

Seeing that she couldn't sleep, Jiang Zhining didn't want to think too much, so she entered the space.

Take advantage of this time to work hard. Only by keeping yourself busy can you have no time to think about other things.

After all, the only thing she could do was wait for him to come home.

The next day, Jiang Zhining woke up with two big dark circles under her eyes.

Since it was the weekend, Song Chen and Song Ye stayed at home and studied obediently.

"Why don't you go out and play?" Jiang Zhining asked curiously.

"My brother said that I should study hard so that I can stand out and not trouble Dad." Song Ye raised his head and answered truthfully.

Jiang Zhining nodded in agreement: "Although studying isn't the only way out, it's the fastest shortcut. You should study hard. However, you also have to combine work and rest."

Song Ye secretly looked at Song Chen, staring at him eagerly.

Seeing this, Song Chen had no choice but to say, "Play for twenty minutes."

"Okay." Before he finished speaking, Song Ye had already put down his pen as quickly as possible and ran towards Xixi in the yard.

Jiang Zhining smiled, "Xiaoye is still young, and it's his nature to love playing. Give him some time to relax occasionally. A proper degree of relaxation is conducive to learning."

Thinking that she must be capable to be admitted to university, Song Chen nodded in response.

After lunch, since Song Chen and Song Ye were at home, Jiang Zhining left Xixi at home and went to the hot pot restaurant herself.

After this period of rush work, the hot pot restaurant has been almost completed.

As soon as you walk in, you are greeted by an antique atmosphere.

The simple tables and chairs and floor-length curtains also exude an ancient charm.

She wants to officially open the hot pot restaurant before autumn comes.

"What kind of store is this? It's beautifully decorated." The owner of the shop next door came over curiously.

Jiang Zhining turned around and replied with a smile: "Hello, big sister, our family owns a hot pot restaurant, which is a special delicacy in Shu City. When our restaurant opens, big sister, you can come to our house to try it, it's my treat."

Jiang Zhining is hospitable and has good relationships with neighbors no matter where she is.

Hearing about the free food, the lady boss next door beamed: "Thank you so much, big sister. I'll definitely come over to try it when the time comes. Where's your husband? Why haven't I seen him come into the store?"

"My man is a soldier and is on a mission." Jiang Zhining said proudly.

Upon hearing this, the lady boss next door was shocked: "So you own this shop?"

"yes."

"It's not good for us women to open a shop. Most wives stay at home to take care of the children." The lady next door couldn't help but say, "If we take good care of our husbands and have successful children, people will think we are good women and capable."

Jiang Zhining chuckled: "Life is my own, why should I care about what others think. Besides, a woman's value should not be reflected by her husband and children."

No matter what era, Jiang Zhining always felt that every woman has the right to take control of her own life and should not rely on men and children to live.

After hearing her words, the boss lady next door did not agree.

As he was speaking, a worker ran over and said, "Boss Jiang, what's the name of our store? It's time to make a plaque and hang it up."

Jiang Zhining replied with a smile: "Our hot pot restaurant is called [Jiangzhou Yuhuo Hot Pot Restaurant]."

Jiang Zhining thought about the name of the hot pot restaurant for a long time and finally decided on this.

"That's a good name. I'll do it right away." The worker replied with a smile.

After chatting with the neighbor’s proprietress, Jiang Zhining started to get busy.

See what the store is still missing and what needs to be purchased.

Look at the design drawings to see if there is anything that needs to be optimized.

By the time I finished all these, it was already afternoon.

Seeing that it was almost time, Jiang Zhining prepared to go home.

As a result, as soon as he walked out of the store, he accidentally bumped into someone head-on.

"Ah." The woman screamed, then fell to the ground, the box in her hand scattered on the ground, and the snacks fell out.

Seeing this, Jiang Zhining quickly helped the woman up: "I'm sorry, auntie, are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's okay. I should be the one to say sorry. I didn't pay attention." Shen Liqing apologized gently, "It's a pity for these cakes."

The woman's clothes were very expensive, but she didn't show any airs at all.

Jiang Zhining picked up the box, looked at the dirty cakes, and said, "Aunt, these are for you. Those dirty cakes are inedible. I have some cakes I made myself. If you don't mind, I'll give them to you to try."

Shen Liqing quickly declined: "No, no, it's embarrassing. Besides, I was not paying attention when I walked and bumped into you."

"It's okay, I'll go to the store and get it." Jiang Zhining said, turning around and going back to the store.

In front of the counter, there were some pastries left that she had brought for the workers when she came to the store.

Soon, Jiang Zhining came back with some snacks: "Aunt, I made these, try them."

Shen Liqing looked at the exquisite pastries, full of surprise: "Did you make all this?"

"Yes, I like to make some small desserts and snacks. Please keep them, auntie." Jiang Zhining said with a smile.

"How can this be so embarrassing."

"You're welcome, Auntie. Meeting is fate. Besides, I have more at home." Jiang Zhining responded with a smile.

Seeing her sweet smile, Shen Liqing took it gratefully: "Then I won't be polite. I came out today to buy some cakes for my mother. She has a poor appetite recently. Miss, can you sell this cake to me? How much is it?"

When Shen Liqing lowered her head to take it, her eyes accidentally fell on the gold bracelet on her wrist. She felt familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere.

"It's okay, it's not worth much." Jiang Zhining responded with a faint smile and lowered her hand.

"Then...thank you." Shen Liqing retracted her gaze and thanked with a smile.

"You're welcome. I'll go back first." Jiang Zhining simply nodded in greeting, then took a step forward.

Shen Liqing looked at Jiang Zhining's back, a smile flashing in her eyes: "This girl is really beautiful and has a good heart."

Then, he took the box in his hand and continued walking forward.

It was already evening when Jiang Zhining returned home.

Before entering the yard, I could faintly hear Xixi crying.

Seeing this, Jiang Zhining hurried into the house.

As soon as I got closer, I saw Song Ye holding his stomach in pain, and Xixi crying anxiously beside him.

"What's wrong with Xiaoye?" Jiang Zhining asked solemnly.

"Xixi didn't know, brother suddenly felt very painful, big brother went to find someone to help." Xixi was so scared that she burst into tears.
