Chapter 391
Zhang Huiyun pursed her lips and remained silent.
After a while, she continued, "Xu Ying isn't Liu Fu, so how can the real Liu Fu still come to our school? She should have been the one who enrolled last year."
Ye Fuyue thought for a moment and said, "She should be able to come. She was the one who got into Zhuda University."
"That's good," Zhang Huiyun said. "It would be such a shame if the real Liu Fu couldn't get into our school based on last year's college entrance exam results because of the impersonation. Even if she could retake the exam, there's no guarantee she'd be able to get into Zhuda University."
This semester ended in such dramatic turmoil.
This time, there were only four people left in their dormitory, and they all planned to go home for the New Year, and no one stayed in school.
After the winter break, Ye Fuyue spent more time in the small western-style building with Haohao Ranran and Qiqi. It wasn't that she had to take the three children with her, but when the three children heard she was going to the small western-style building, they wanted to go too.
After Chen Yao and Shen Shun also had their winter vacation, Chen Guifeng went to the small western-style building with Ye Fuyue, and asked Chen Yao and Shen Shun to prepare their own three meals a day without waiting for her to go back.
Chen Guifeng looked after the six children while Ye Fuyue bought and sorted the ingredients and prepared the dumplings. After that, she would find a break to sketch furniture designs.
Ye Fuyue would occasionally go out with Zhong Lan and Cui Li to sell buns, but Zhong Lan and Cui Li were already very familiar with the business, so it didn't make much difference whether she went or not, so she spent most of her time in the small western-style building.
When she is free, Ye Fuyue will also teach Zhong Lan and Cui Li how to ride a bicycle.
That day, Zhong Lan and Cui Li came back from selling buns outside, their faces and hands were red from the cold.
Yao Zaoer and Huan Di poured a cup of hot water and gave it to Zhong Lan and Cui Li respectively.
"Mom, drink some hot water to warm yourself up." Yao Zaoer said.
"Mom, you won't feel cold anymore after drinking the hot water." Huan Di also said.
Zhong Lan and Cui Li touched their daughters' heads, took a few sips of hot water, and then warmed their hands in the enamel cups.
"Mom, are your legs sore? Let me massage them for you." Laibao said enthusiastically.
"Mom, your legs aren't sore." Cui Li smiled with relief.
But Laibao said stubbornly: "Sit down and I'll massage your legs."
Cui Li could only sit on the chair while Lai Bao started to massage her legs.
Seeing this, Huan Di hit Cui Li's other leg.
When Yao Zaoer saw this, she also followed suit and started massaging Zhong Lan's legs.
Haohao and Ranran looked at Ye Fuyue's legs, thinking that their mother had been sitting most of the day, so her legs shouldn't be sore. But their mother had been drawing the design with a pen, so her arms might be sore.
So, Haohao said, "Mom, let me rub your arms."
Ranran imitated her and said, "I'll rub Mom's arms too."
Ye Fuyue was stunned for a moment, then she realized why the two children said that and laughed out loud.
Is even filial piety becoming inward-looking now?
"Mom is not tired, you guys go play by yourselves." Ye Fuyue patted the two little guys' heads gently.
Zhong Lan and Cui Li also laughed and told Huan Di and the others to go play and not to worry about them. They would take a rest by themselves.
Only then did the children run off to play.
"An interesting thing happened when we were selling buns today," said Zhong Lan.
Cui Li smiled and nodded: "I encountered it too."
"What's the matter?" Chen Guifeng asked curiously while knitting a sweater.
Zhong Lan said, "Someone wants to introduce Cui Li and me to someone. The person who wants to introduce me to someone is an aunt. That aunt often comes to me to buy buns. She is our old customer and I am quite familiar with her. When she came to me to buy buns again today, she asked me if I was married and if I had a partner. I said I was divorced and living alone with my daughter. The aunt was surprised for a moment, then said that being divorced didn't matter, you are so capable. She said that she knew someone who was also divorced and worked in an agricultural machinery factory. He was alone and the child was with the woman. She asked if I was interested. I said I had no plans to get married for the time being."
"That aunt tried to persuade me, saying how tiring it would be to raise a child alone. If I got married, I'd have someone to help me and I could discuss everything with, so it wouldn't be so tiring. She asked me to think it over. I said I didn't need to think about it, that I had no plans to get married, and that I felt that being alone was fine right now. That's when the aunt stopped talking."
Chen Guifeng analyzed, "I hear the person introduced to you isn't reliable. The child will be with the woman, so it's likely to be a girl. They probably favor boys over girls. And you're bringing Zao'er with you. If you really marry her, she won't have any blood relationship with them, so they probably won't treat her well."
"Aunt Chen, you're as good as I come. You're still experienced and your analysis is quite reasonable." Zhong Lan smiled and said, "I've never thought about remarriage. I haven't considered it that much. When Aunt Chen told me about it, I refused."
Chen Guifeng nodded and asked Cui Li, "Is this also the aunt who wants to introduce you to someone?"
"No." Cui Li said, "Zhong Lan and I both sell buns in different places, but today it just so happens that old customers want to introduce us to potential partners."
"The woman who wanted to introduce her boyfriend to me was an older woman who often bought buns from me. She said our buns were delicious, big, with lots of fillings, and more affordable than other places. She used to chat with me when she bought buns from me. She had long known that I was divorced and living alone with two children."
"Today, when I was selling buns, she pulled me aside and said she wanted to introduce me to a guy. Someone else asked her to introduce him to someone, and she thought the guy's conditions were good, so she wanted to introduce him to me. He works in a cannery. His wife died last year, and he wanted to find another one. He also has a son. I said the same thing as Zhong Lan. I said I didn't plan to get married for the time being. The old lady also tried to persuade me, saying that it was impossible for a woman not to get married. She also said that the guy's conditions were not bad and he was a perfect match for me. If I missed this opportunity, I would never have this shop again."
"I thought to myself, didn't Liang Nan marry me because his wife died? What happened in the end? I almost suffered the same fate as his previous wife, tortured to death by his family. I finally escaped the Liang family's hell. Now I have a place to live and can make my own money. Life is so good, why would I be so desperate to get married! I can find another man to take care of their whole family, but in turn they complain that I don't do enough work, and they look down on Laibao and Huandi. I have nothing better to do!"
"I repeatedly told that lady that I didn't want to get married and that I was living a good life now. After I talked for a long time, she finally gave up and stopped trying to persuade me."
"I no longer dare to go there to sell buns, for fear that the old lady would see me and try to matchmake me and persuade me to get married."
Chen Guifeng said, "From now on, don't tell anyone else about your divorce. If a customer asks you about it, just laugh it off. This will prevent people from trying to matchmake you."
