Zhang Xiao'e didn't want to disturb her daughter-in-law's good things, so she went out.
As soon as I went out, I saw someone sneaking around the wall of the yard next door.
When Li Wenying came back, she happened to be going the same way as Manager Wang.
Seeing him carrying a lot of bags and dressed neatly, I became curious.
But after waiting for half a day, I didn't hear any movement from inside.
Just as he was wondering, his eyes met Zhang Xiao'e's.
Li Wenying wanted to leave feeling guilty, but just as she took a step, she felt something was wrong. Why should she feel guilty in her own home?
She coughed dryly and smiled.
"I didn't hear Captain Ji and his wife tell me when my aunt came!"
"I came here yesterday. I was busy in the yard for quite a while. Didn't you see?"
"Really? I was busy and not at home yesterday."
"That's right!"
"Well, Auntie, I see there seems to be a guest at your house. He said he's looking for Comrade Lin. Is he a relative of theirs? Comrade Xiao Lin is always very caring towards us. If that's the case, we should go meet him!"
Zhang Xiao'e looked at Li Wenying and said with a smile, "You don't even know him?"
“…”
"He's the manager of your Island Hotel!"
"What? The manager of the Sea Island Hotel is a relative of Comrade Xiaolin!"
Li Wenying was a little shocked, as she had never heard of it before.
Unexpectedly, the person opposite suddenly laughed out loud: "What? How can they be relatives? Manager Wang came to my house specifically to invite my daughter-in-law to work with them."
Li Wenying was even more upset now: "The manager came to invite me personally?"
"Of course not! Not only that, it's just a part-time job. You don't have to be there on time. You just need to produce four recipes every month, and the salary is not low!"
"There is such a good thing..."
Li Wenying muttered softly, feeling a little sour in her heart.
This cooking is delicious, and it really makes a lot of money!
My previous thoughts have been somewhat shaken.
Zhang Xiao'e ignored her and got busy with her own things.
Manager Wang didn't stay long and left soon.
Li Wenying, who had been observing the situation here, picked a bunch of vegetables from the yard and went next door as soon as the others left.
But as soon as he reached the gate, he was stopped by Zhang Xiaoe.
"I saw that the vegetables in your garden haven't grown yet, so I came to give some to you. We are all neighbors, and this is what we usually do. Comrade Lin knows!"
Just as he was about to go in, Zhang Xiao'e blocked his way again.
"Thank you so much, I feel more at ease having a good neighbor like you. Just leave it to me. I've been cooking all the time lately."
"This...how about I take it in for you?"
"No, the child is feeling a little unwell. It would be bad if he passed on his illness to you. Besides, I think this vegetable is quite fresh! I just picked it here. I can go back and wash it and stir-fry it directly!"
"That's okay too."
Li Wenying reluctantly handed the dishes to Zhang Xiaoe, but refused to leave.
Just as I was trying to find another excuse to go in, I heard Zhang Xiao'e ask doubtfully, "Do you have anything else to do?"
"It's okay."
Zhang Xiao'e watched Li Wenying walk away, looking back every few steps. Her expression instantly fell, and she curled her lips in disdain: "Huh! You really think a country woman like me can't see through your schemes and tricks? You're trying to get something for nothing with these rotten vegetable leaves? Pah!"
Just as I finished complaining, I heard the sound of a door opening behind me.
Turning around, I saw Lin Jiaojiao coming out pushing a bicycle, followed by Xiaoxue, who was carrying a small schoolbag and looked excited.
In fact, she had just lied to Li Wenying.
There's nothing wrong with the two kids!
"Mom, I'm going to take the kids to school."
"You're already so old, do you still need to send me off in person?"
"Xiaoxue has just started school not long ago. Besides, I'm fine at home, so I feel at ease sending her over."
Zhang Xiao'e disagreed: "I remember the school is not far from here. It's just a short walk down this road. When Ji Huaian and his friends were his age, they all went to school by themselves. You can't spoil your children too much. When they grow up, they have to be independent!"
"That makes sense, but..."
Children need to be independent.
Lin Jiaojiao strongly agrees with this point.
In fact, she also noticed that many children did go to school by themselves.
But Xiaoxue's situation is different. She started school later than ordinary children, and was influenced by her original family. Her personality is too weak, so she wants to slow down.
"Just what? If you spoil your child like this, he will never grow up!"
"Mom, grandma is right. I can go to school by myself."
"Xiaoxue?"
Lin Jiaojiao looked down at the well-behaved little girl, and saw her waving at her, then turning around and running out.
"Look, the children are sensible, so you don't have to worry about them."
"Mom, I better go out and take a look."
Lin Jiaojiao rode her bike and prepared to follow him out.
Zhang Xiaoe stopped him again: "Don't worry, she will be fine!"
“…”
"Come on! There are some things I haven't given you yet."
Lin Jiaojiao was half-dragged and half-pulled back to the room.
I'm still worried about Xiaoxue.
Even if the child could really do it, she would still want to follow quietly behind for a day or two.
Zhang Xiao'e acted as if nothing had happened. She took out something wrapped in a handkerchief from the cabinet mysteriously and said, "This is for you, Lan Zi."
"Thank you. I'm so embarrassed to ask her to bring me a gift."
Lin Jiaojiao accepted the gift while expressing her gratitude, but when she opened it and saw what was inside, the smile on her lips froze and she became alert.
It is a pair of exquisite hairpins.
It's not made of plastic, but champagne-colored velvet with green plum-shaped decorations.
It doesn’t look cheap at first glance!
This is not something that can be found in a small place.
"Isn't it beautiful? Lan Zi said this, it only looks good when worn by her sister-in-law!"
"It's really beautiful. Such a nice thing must have cost a lot of money. She's so young, I can't have it!"
"I didn't hear her say how much it cost!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Jiaojiao became even more nervous.
Will Ji Lan get back together with Zhou Xiaolian?
So the plot lines in the book are about to match up again?
Near noon, Lin Jiaojiao ignored Zhang Xiaoe's advice and insisted on picking up the child.
I just waited at the school gate for a long time, but all the children inside had left and no one came out.
She had a bad feeling in her heart and was about to go in to investigate, but unexpectedly she ran into Zhang Hui coming out.
"Teacher Zhang!"
"Xiaoxue's mother."
"Thank you, Teacher Zhang, you still remember me."
"You're beautiful, and anyone would remember you. Oh, and I was just about to ask you, what happened to Xiaoxue today?"
"What happened to her?"
"..." Zhang Hui was stunned for a moment, and the smile on her lips faded: "You don't know? She didn't come to class today. I thought she was sick."
"What! How is that possible? I saw her leave today!"
"She really didn't come. All the kids in the class can testify to that."
