Although his clothes were old and patched, they were clean and tidy. Standing by the stove, he chopped vegetables and served dishes quickly and efficiently, showing himself to be a capable person.
After being fed yesterday, the two children no longer seemed hostile towards her and were currently washing up in the yard.
Seeing her get up, the adorable Shen Qingyu ran to Meng Zhao's side, tugged at her sleeve and said, "Sister-in-law, I've brought you water, come and wash up."
Seeing a courtyard full of good-looking people early in the morning made Meng Zhao quite happy. He couldn't help but pat Shen Qingyu's head and then took her hand to wash up.
Breakfast was the same as usual: congee and side dishes. I ate a big meal last night, so something light for breakfast was just right.

The stroller needs some modifications, and the dining trays also need to be customized. Meng Zhao needs to draw up the blueprints for communication, but it's not good to go to Shen Qinghe's room rashly. He needs to inform the Gu family in advance.
"Okay, you can go directly there. Qingze and Qingyu sometimes come to Qinghe's room to play. Qinghe will put away anything that you can't touch, so don't worry."
"Alright, then I'll trouble you to order the bricks today, and also tell my two cousins so we can build the stove as soon as possible." After arranging the things to do today, Meng Zhao got up and went to Shen Qinghe's room.
