After changing the car battery, Liu Xiaoyuan drove back to the hotel.
Since Yang Zihan had to stay home to take care of her mother today, Liu Xiaoyuan told Wang Qing to find someone to replace Yang Zihan.
Ever since she had physical intimacy with Liu Xiaoyuan, Wang Qing has become even more of a rogue.
"General Manager, did you try too hard last night and make Zihan unable to get out of bed?" Wang Qing asked with a smile when no one was around.
Holy crap! How could anyone say something like that? Women can be even more terrifying than men when they're being scoundrels.
"What are you thinking? Do you think I'm the kind of person who doesn't know how to cherish women?" Liu Xiaoyuan rolled his eyes at Wang Qing and said.
Upon hearing this, Wang Qing said with a resentful look, "General Manager, you're so chivalrous. I wonder who it was that rubbed her all over until it's red."
Hearing such explicit words from Wang Qing was really hard for Liu Xiaoyuan to handle; it was practically killing him!
Just as Liu Xiaoyuan was flirting with Wang Qing, his phone rang; it was a call from home.
Normally, Liu Xiaoyuan's parents wouldn't call him. If they did, it meant something important had happened.
Liu Xiaoyuan immediately answered the phone and asked, "Mom, what's wrong?"
Mom said, "Xiao Yuan, come back quickly, hurry up!"
Liu Xiaoyuan was puzzled. Judging from his mother's tone, it seemed like there was some good news, but Liu Xiaoyuan couldn't think of anything good happening in his family today.
"Mom, is something wrong? I'm still at work," Liu Xiaoyuan said.
"Then take leave. Come back quickly, hurry up! I'm not talking to you anymore, phone calls are expensive!" After saying that, Mom hung up the phone, keeping the call to under a minute.
Liu Xiaoyuan was extremely frustrated. No matter how expensive the phone bill was, it couldn't be more expensive than the salary he would lose by taking time off. He wondered who taught his mother math.
Since his mother had given the order, Liu Xiaoyuan naturally had to go home. As for the hotel, he left it to Wang Qing.
When Liu Xiaoyuan got home, before he even entered the door, he heard his parents talking and laughing with someone, and the other person's voice seemed quite familiar.
Upon entering the house, I saw that it was Tan Wanyi's family. My parents were chatting with Tan Wanyi's parents, while Tan Wanyi sat quietly to the side. As for Tan Wanqiu, that precocious little thing, she was wandering around the house boredly.
"Brother-in-law, you're back!" Tan Wanqiu exclaimed happily as Liu Xiaoyuan walked into the house.
The word "brother-in-law" made Tan Wanyi's pretty face turn bright red with embarrassment.
Both sets of parents were fine and continued talking. Tan Wanyi's parents turned to look at Liu Xiaoyuan, and Liu Xiaoyuan quickly greeted the two elders.
"Xiao Yuan, quickly take Wan Yi to familiarize herself with the village environment. Wan Yi will be teaching at our primary school in the future!" Mom said happily.
Tan Wanyi was assigned to teach at the elementary school in my area? What a coincidence!
The primary school in Liu Xiaoyuan's village was jointly built by three nearby villages. It is located in the middle of the three villages, but the actual land belongs to Liu Xiaoyuan's village.
"Come on, Wanyi, I'll show you around!" Liu Xiaoyuan said with a smile.
Tan Wanyi had been wanting to get some fresh air for a while, but staying at home listening to both sets of parents talking about their own affairs, she didn't know how to interrupt.
“I’ll go too!” Tan Wanqiu immediately said.
Liu Xiaoyuan originally wanted to take this opportunity to have a good talk with Tan Wanyi, because he hadn't visited her since returning from Beijing, and they had only kept in touch by phone, which made him feel a little guilty!
Tan Wanqiu said she wanted to go, and Liu Xiaoyuan couldn't refuse, nor did Tan Wanyi's parents say anything. After all, it was good for Tan Wanqiu to go; it would serve as a form of supervision.
Tan Wanyi's parents were also afraid that Liu Xiaoyuan would ruin Tan Wanyi before their relationship was even established.
Liu Xiaoyuan brought the Tan sisters to the school. Since it was summer vacation, the school's large iron gate was closed, so they could only stand outside and watch.
Tan Wanqiu said, "We've already been here, there's nothing much to see. Brother-in-law, are there any fun places in your village? Could you take us there?"
Like a virtuous wife and loving mother, Tan Wanyi said, "Xiaoyuan, don't listen to Wanqiu. It's so hot, let's go back!"
"Sis, what's fun about going home? Can't you see that Mom and Dad and your husband's parents are just talking about adult stuff? What's the point of us going home?" Tan Wanqiu pouted.
Liu Xiaoyuan knew that Tan Wanyi didn't want to trouble him, but she actually hoped that he would take her out for a walk.
"Wanyi, it's okay. Come on, I'll take you to a fun place," Liu Xiaoyuan said with a smile.
"Brother-in-law, where are you taking us?" Tan Wanqiu asked with a smile, her interest immediately piqued upon hearing about a fun place.
Tan Wanyi couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Yuan, where are you taking us?"
Liu Xiaoyuan said with a smile, "You'll know when we get there."
Liu Xiaoyuan led the Tan Wanyi sisters to a cedar forest in the village, which was located on the edge of the village.
If there's anything fun about this cedar forest, it's undoubtedly the many egrets that inhabit it during the summer. Of course, these egrets aren't exactly rare species, nor are they as beautiful as the ones pictured online. To be honest, Liu Xiaoyuan wasn't even sure if it was even called an egret, but it certainly looked about 80-90% similar to the egret pictures online.
In summer, there are many egrets in the cedar forest, and the cedar forest is their nesting ground, with many egret eggs lying on the ground.
Some people even went to the cedar forest to collect egret eggs to eat. However, it was later heard that a young man in the village ate too many egret eggs and developed pockmarks on his face. Since the egret eggs had pockmarks on their shells, everyone thought it was because he ate too many egret eggs. From then on, no one ate egret eggs anymore, because no one wanted their face to be covered in pockmarks, as that would look terrible.
The cedar forest in the village is home to so many egrets that it's quite a sight. People from other villages also go into the cedar forest to catch the little egrets and raise them.
To be honest, these little egrets aren't very good-looking, and they have a peculiar, unpleasant odor. But people raise them for the enjoyment of watching them grow up day by day.
When Liu Xiaoyuan was a child, he did something similar. To raise the egrets, he would run to the pond after school to catch small fish or tadpoles for them to eat.
Some clever little egrets even know to go out hunting and run home. Of course, these clever egrets are very rare; if a regular egret runs away, it's basically lost!
Today, Liu Xiaoyuan is going to take Tan Wanyi and her sister to the cedar forest to experience this unique scenery.
