"I know I was wrong, and I will never drink again. Is that okay?"
Li Miaomiao shook Pei Guoan's arm and looked at him with a begging expression. This was in front of the child, so she had to give her some face.
Pei Guoan raised his eyebrows: "Really? What did you just say?"
Pei Guoan completely ignored Sister Zhou's existence at this moment and looked at Li Miaomiao leisurely.
"That's because you're here. You said it yourself that I can't drink without you. With you here, you don't have to worry about what I'll do when I'm drunk, right?"
"You have a point. I won't settle the score with you this time. If I find out you're drinking alone outside again, I'll take you back."
"Okay, I'll remember that."
Pei Yifan was coaxed by his mother after hearing his father's words. He had no principles at all and it was not a requirement for him at all. He sighed in his heart.
This is clearly spoiling my mother.
Pei Yifan looked at Pei Guoan with disapproval
Pei Guoan noticed his son's little eyes, but the little guy knew nothing. He was a worrywart and even meddled in adults' affairs.
"Mom, this is a serious matter. Even good adults can't drink!"
Pei Yifan remembered what Li Miaomiao said. Thinking of Sister Zhou being there, his tone was a little different from usual, and there was a bit more childishness in his voice.
"Mom, you don't let me drink, but you drink secretly. You are not a good boy!"
Sister Zhou originally thought that the child was too smart, but now it seems that he is indeed a child. It seems that Li Miaomiao had coaxed the child in this way before.
"Okay, Mom will remember this. I won't drink next time."
This family showed off their affection. Sister Zhou smiled and said, "Wake up, I won't drink today. No one should drink either. Otherwise, someone will be dissatisfied with me later."
Sister Zhou said this, looking at Pei Guoan jokingly. Pei Guoan rarely smiled. "My daughter Miaomiao is in the provincial capital thanks to everyone's care. Miaomiao doesn't drink, so I can have a few drinks with you, Sister Zhou. I heard everything about what happened before from Miaomiao. Thank you for your help, Sister Zhou."
"It's a bit awkward to say that. Miaomiao and I are close friends, so I'll definitely do my best to help if I can. To be honest, I also admire Miaomiao very much. Who can't like such an honest and kind girl? And she's so capable."
"Sister Zhou, that's really flattering. I admire you. Not every woman can have such a good job in the provincial capital."
When Sister Zhou heard what Li Miaomiao said, she was moved: "Miaomiao, actually, with your ability, it's not too difficult for you to come to the provincial capital. Compared to in the village, you can play a much greater role in the provincial capital."
Upon hearing this, Li Miaomiao did not refuse as firmly as before.
"Before, due to the situation in the village, I couldn't leave. But now the soap factory is back on track. But whether or not to come to the provincial capital, I haven't really considered it. I need to think about it carefully."
"You really need to think about it. You need to make some plans for yourself. Staying in the village is not a long-term solution."
Li Miaomiao nodded. Although she said so, she didn't agree in her heart. She really had no plan to leave the village.
Although Fanglin Village is remote, it is far away from many troubles. However, Pei Guoan mentioned to her before that after this incident, he might be transferred to the county town.
Zhou Shao and Pei Guoan had discussed this matter, but Pei Guoan hadn't made up his mind yet and wanted to know what she thought.
"Let me take another look."
Li Miaomiao could see that Pei Guoan was actually thinking about coming to the provincial capital, and on the other hand it was also for some needs. If she insisted on staying in the village, Pei Guoan would probably listen to her, but the two of them were together, and Li Miaomiao didn't want Pei Guoan to give up anything for her.
Now things are different now. Before, I was afraid of trouble, so I had to hide in the village and spend this period of time peacefully.
It is less than two years away from the policy being relaxed. Due to some changes, this time may be brought forward. She can indeed consider making preparations in advance and accumulating some capital.
"Don't worry, it depends on your own ideas. In fact, the village is also very good. I will accompany you wherever you want to stay."
Pei Guoan saw Li Miaomiao's hesitation
Li Miaomiao nodded. She really needed to think about it carefully.
Pei Yifan had already started to think about what was going on after hearing what the adults said, but he looked at Sister Zhou and asked nothing. He ate his food happily, as if this matter had nothing to do with him.
"Xiao Fan, do you want to stay in the village or come to the city?" Sister Zhou suddenly asked
Li Miaomiao didn't know what Sister Zhou was thinking.
Pei Yifan was eating happily, and when he heard this, he said without thinking: "I want to be with my mother. As long as I am with my mother, anywhere is fine."
This is the answer a child would give.
Sister Zhou had heard of Pei Yifan before, saying that this kid was very smart and clever, and quite amazing, but she had never met him. Now that she had seen him, she was a little disappointed.
Seeing people like Pei Guoan and Li Miaomiao, she originally thought that this child must have some special qualities, which is why people evaluated him in this way. Now it seems that it is completely because of the rural people's lack of knowledge that they have elevated the impression of this child in her mind. He is just a smarter child.
"When mommy finishes her work, I'll go back to accompany you, okay?"
"Miaomiao, you don't necessarily have to send the child back. You can leave the child with you in the provincial capital for a while. I'll contact the school and let the child study in the city for a while."
Pei Yifan's eyes lit up when he heard Sister Zhou say this: "Auntie, is it true? I can stay in the city with my mother?"
"Of course, but it depends on your mother's opinion."
Li Miaomiao met Pei Yifan's expectant eyes and said, "No, this is quite a hassle. Things at the machinery factory shouldn't take too long. I'll go back after we get the cooperation."
"What's the trouble? I'm familiar with the principal, it's just a matter of saying hello. If you're busy and don't have time, you can also send the child to my house. My mother-in-law is already at home taking care of the children, so it doesn't matter if there's one more child. Besides, Xiaofan is so well-behaved."
Li Miaomiao seemed a little moved when she heard this, but after thinking for a moment, she shook her head: "I know you mean well, Sister Zhou, but I've already troubled you enough. Besides, I won't be staying in the provincial capital for too long, and it's easy for me to be distracted with Xiaofan here. It's better for me to finish my work as soon as possible and go back."
After Li Miaomiao said this, Sister Zhou stopped trying to persuade her.
"You're still like this, afraid of bothering others. Okay, since you've made up your mind, I won't try to persuade you. Anyway, I'll just say this: if you need help, just ask me anytime."
"Thank you, Sister Zhou. I'll remember that. If I need anything, I will definitely not be polite to you."
