After separating the two, Zhou Miao hugged Jiang Ci's waist and pointed at Zhou Yang, starting to complain.
After the child babbled on and on, Jiang Ci and Zhou Mingli understood what had happened.
Zhou Mingli walked over and extended his hand to Zhou Yang.
Zhou Yang whispered fearfully as he shakily placed the fake spider into Zhou Mingli's hand.
"Go and face the wall and reflect on your mistakes."
Zhou Mingli didn't hit him, nor did he forbid him from eating or punish him by making him do his homework. He just made him stand facing the wall to reflect on his mistakes.
Zhou Yang whispered, "Dad, I know I was wrong..."
Zhou Mingli said succinctly, "Go."
Zhou Yang had no choice but to tuck his tail between his legs and go to face the wall in repentance.
Jiang Ci patted Zhou Miao's head and said, "If your brother bullies you again, fight back."
Zhou Miao nodded emphatically.
Jiang Ci led Zhou Miao and Zhou Huai into the house.
Zhou Huai came over this time because he had arranged to go to the Summer Palace with Jiang Ci in the afternoon.
Zhou Miao clearly recounted what happened today, including the arrival of Dazhu and Erzhu.
"Did you give the things that Mom prepared for Uncle Yu's family to him?"
"Given it!"
Jiang Ci smiled and ruffled her hair. "Great job."
Zhou Miao proudly puffed out her small chest.
"Go with Sister Xiaohuai and pack your things. We'll be heading to the Summer Palace in a little while."
Zhou Yang then remembered that they were going out to play.
Now that Dad has made him stand facing the wall in self-reflection, does that mean he can't go out to play?
Zhou Yang was getting anxious; his feet felt like they were on fire, and he kept wanting to move.
"Stand still." His father's somber voice came from behind him.
"Dad... I really know I was wrong. I will never bully Miaomiao again." Zhou Yang didn't dare to turn his head and only promised Zhou Mingli.
Zhou Mingli said, "I think you're saying that because you're afraid you won't be able to go out and play, right?"
Zhou Yang stomped his foot, "Dad! I didn't! I really know I was wrong!"
Zhou Mingli said, "Then you shouldn't go out to play today."
Zhou Yang was dumbfounded and turned to look at his father.
Zhou Mingli turned his head back and said, "Stand still."
Although my father was always calm and never got angry, he was always a man of his word when it came to making decisions.
If he says he can't go out to play, then he really can't go out to play.
Zhou Yang's shoulders slumped; now he truly realized his mistake.
Zhou Mingli told him to continue facing the wall in self-reflection and went back to his room to help Jiang Ci tidy up.
"Take the thermos with you; it contains warmed milk."
The milk was provided by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Jiang Ci has rotated through four departments in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs over the years, and her current title is First Secretary at the deputy division level. The lowest rank for someone in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs who gets a job is deputy section chief. Since Jiang Ci is already at the deputy division chief level, it's only natural that she would get a job there.
Zhou Mingli opened the thermos and showed her the milk inside.
Jiang Ci sniffed and said in surprise, "It smells a bit good, like milk tea."
Zhou Mingli raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Your nose is very sharp. I stir-fried some black tea and stewed it with rock sugar and milk."
"Try it first?"
He had already poured out a small cup and brought it to Jiang Ci's lips.
Jiang Ci naturally opened her mouth and took a sip from his hand.
A milky aroma, reminiscent of roasted black tea, filled his mouth. Jiang Ci grabbed his wrist, drank it all in one gulp, and said, "Delicious."
Jiang Ci glanced at him sideways and asked, "Have you tried it?"
Zhou Mingli shook his head, "I only cooked this much, it's for you guys to take on your trip."
Jiang Ci gave an "oh," stood on tiptoe, and kissed him, her nimble tongue slipping into his mouth.
The rich aroma of milk tea mingled in their mouths.
Zhou Mingli's eyes were deep. He put down the thermos in his hand, turned around and hugged her waist, deepening the kiss.
People say that feelings fade with time and cannot withstand the test of time.
If you include the time they spent getting married in their previous life, he and Jiang Ci have been husband and wife for over ten years, and Zhou Mingli feels that his love for Jiang Ci is no less than that.
Jiang Ci's lips were red and swollen from his kisses. She pinched Zhou Mingli's ear, signaling him to stop.
She asked deliberately, "Is it sweet?"
Zhou Mingli smiled, his eyes crinkling. "If we stay any longer, your afternoon outing plans will probably have to be canceled."
That won't work.
There are several children waiting outside.
Jiang Ci ruthlessly pushed Zhou Mingli away.
Zhou Mingli loosened and tightened his grip, then kissed her ear with a smile. "Be careful on the road. I'll stay home and research the channels Wen Yun mentioned."
Jiang Ci agreed, straightened her clothes, and went out with Zhou Miao and Zhou Huai.
Zhou Mingli glanced at Zhou Yang, who was looking on anxiously, and told him to continue facing the wall. Then he sat down at his desk and began to write a detailed plan.
Zhou Mingli is still working as a head chef at his workplace. Chef Mo retired last year and has gradually handed over the connections of his superiors to Zhou Mingli over the years.
The pilot program for individual business operations is being carried out jointly by three cities. Some people are worried about being arrested for speculation, while some savvy individuals have already started to run small businesses.
Even at the entrance of the alley where they live, there are people selling breakfast!
Chef Mo also asked Zhou Mingli if he had any ideas about running a restaurant.
Zhou Mingli did not answer immediately, saying he would wait and see.
He had actually set his sights on another industry long ago, but it wasn't the catering industry.
Zhou Mingli had his eye on electrical appliances.
As one of the pilot cities, Guangshi has already produced televisions, but radio factories can't sell them in the city and can only sell them to other places.
He set his sights on the radio market.
While I'm at it, I'll also go to Guangshi to buy a batch of men's and women's clothing to sell in Beijing and other places.
Zhou Mingli and Jiang Ci went to the Cheng family this morning to discuss this matter with Cheng Wenyun.
