Chen Rou excused herself to go to the restroom and sent a message to Chen Ke: "I made a mistake. Go directly to No. 352 Xishan and see if it's a rural courtyard with lots of hawthorn and persimmon trees."
Chen Ke replied: Why? How can you be so sure?
Chen Rou remembered No. 352 Xishan because in the future, it would be a large self-built villa registered under the name of Wang Meng's youngest son. It was also the only property in her memory that was associated with Xishan.
From now until the future, it will be exactly 30 years. In those 30 years, rural courtyards can be completely transformed into large villas. That's one point.
Secondly, Minmin just mentioned that she ate persimmons sent by her uncle's family a few days ago, and now it's already March after the Lunar New Year. If the persimmons from last winter still have some left over, it proves that there is a large basement.
So it's very likely that the old leader's eldest son, though physically disabled, is not heartless and has quite a wild side; the money is probably hidden in his house.
When she returned after sending the text message, Xiao Zhang was waving from afar and pointing at her to look at A Yuan.
A-Yuan had a small 2x2 Rubik's Cube in his hand. The little guy was focused on twisting the cube when he suddenly looked up, smiled at Minmin, and said, "Mom, you saw it, right? My little brother solved the Rubik's Cube."
Then look at Chen Rou: "I wanted to teach him how to solve the Rubik's Cube, but he solved it himself."
He kissed A-Yuan again: "Little brother, you're a little genius."
Whether he's a genius or not doesn't matter; being kissed by a young lady made A-Yuan super happy.
Minmin scrambled the Rubik's Cube and handed it to Ayuan: "Come on, sweetie, solve another one for your sister to see."
It was just a 2x2 Rubik's Cube with only four faces. A-Yuan took it and began to solve it carefully.
This kid can be really naughty when he's being mischievous, but when he's focused, he's just like his dad—he can stay calm and quiet.
How should I put it? No matter who you look at it from, he's every mother's dream boy.
Xiao Zhang also found A Yuan's intelligence unbelievable. He was still very young. Logically speaking, a child like him would get bored with a big kid like Minmin in no time. For example, today, she wanted to play with a Rubik's Cube. Logically speaking, a child like A Yuan would just twist and turn it randomly and wouldn't play seriously, so Minmin would lose interest in him.
Although solving a 2x2 Rubik's Cube is just the beginning, A-Yuan can understand the instructions and solve it. He's not just smart, he's a little genius.
She asked Chen Rou, "Did you start targeted early education for your child from birth? That's why he's so smart."
Chen Rou said, "His father is more concerned about this aspect; I haven't really been involved."
In this era, the mainland had a natural admiration for Hong Kong. As Xiao Zhang watched Ah Yuan solve the Rubik's Cube again, he exclaimed, "Hong Kong has long been in line with international standards. In terms of education, it seems that it is indeed more advanced than our mainland."
She added, "Our primary school won't add English until next year. She's six years old this year and will be starting first grade. If she doesn't catch up with the new textbooks, she'll fall far behind in English."
Chen Rou smiled and said, "If you trust me, you can let her come to my house during the holidays. It just so happens that A Yuan's father is also planning to let him learn a foreign language in advance. They can learn together, even if it's just spoken language, it's still a good way to lay a foundation in advance."
So, was the pretty aunt inviting her to her home?
While her mother was still wondering how to refuse without seeming petty, Minmin blurted out, "I can."
Seeing that Xiao Zhang was glaring at her daughter again, Chen Rou said frankly: "Given your position, Sister Zhang, if I said that I had no ulterior motives and just liked Minmin, you would probably have doubts. But I believe that you are a female soldier in uniform with firm beliefs and only the motherland in your heart. Please also believe that my son and I just want to be friends with Minmin."
So, during the summer vacation, we'll send Minmin to Hong Kong to learn a foreign language in advance?
In fact, Xiao Zhang agreed in her heart. Smart children should play with smart children to better train their thinking and broaden their horizons. But would her father-in-law, husband, and second uncle agree?
Putting that aside, Xiao Zhang specially invited Chen Rou to dinner today, so of course there's something he wanted to say.
Just as we finished eating, she smiled and said, "Let me show you around the war history museum. Also, my father said that the Snow Maple Blade is yours, and he entrusted me to return it to you."
Therefore, the old revolutionary did not even covet his beloved knife, but wanted to return it to its owner.
But his son kept a greedy brother-in-law who was like a wolf, abusing his power and indulging in embezzlement.
The old commander is only aware of the tip of the iceberg of the evil deeds Wang Meng has committed.
Since we've come to the topic of that knife, and Xiao Zhang is considered Chen Rou's senior, Chen Rou should elaborate on Wang Meng's influence on the coastal areas and the losses he caused. This should serve as a constant warning, so that Xiao Zhang and his wife, who are strict with themselves, don't end up getting hurt by unrelated people.
