"Okay, stop talking at the door and go home first."
Seeing the whole family gathered together, Ji Huaian was happy from the bottom of his heart. He called the driver, and the two of them moved all the luggage in the back back home together.
It was Ji Lan's first time to visit the island, and she was quite curious about the layout of the house.
The two little guys were very happy to see their aunt who was not much older than them, and soon the three of them became familiar with each other.
Lin Jiaojiao came out of the children's bedroom and saw Zhang Xiaoe, who had just come back from washing her hands and was about to cook. She hurried forward to stop her, "Mom, just leave these to me. You've been on the road for so many days, you should have a good rest!"
With so much luggage and a child.
This journey is indeed not easy.
There was a dark circle under Zhang Xiao'e's eyes and her face looked pale.
Lin Jiaojiao noticed it when they met just now.
Just about to push the person out of the kitchen.
Zhang Xiao'e refused to do so. She walked around outside and went back in. "I'm here to take care of you. How can I not do anything? Besides, cooking is not that hard. You haven't eaten my cooking in such a long time. I'm going to cook well today and show you my cooking skills!"
"Mom, there's really no need. I've already thought of what dish to make. You and Ji Lan can try my cooking today!"
Zhang Xiao'e still refused to give up: "I'm really not tired. Although I'm old, I'm still strong. But you, I saw it all the time I came last time. You're taking care of the family and the children by yourself. I also heard that you're a teacher now and your work is so busy... I'm really... I'm afraid that Ji Lan and I can't help you and will become a burden to you."
Lin Jiaojiao understood what she meant and smiled to comfort her: "Don't worry, I know my own business. Who said that you two are a burden? Others may not know it, but I do. Mom, you are the most diligent person and the one who can't sit still!"
"When I asked you to move in, I meant it. I wanted everyone to be together. I'll be counting on you to take care of the two children in the future. There are still many hard days ahead. You're a great helper to our family!"
"If you're a burden, we're the ones who are burdening you!"
"Burden? I don't know when Comrade Lin Jiaojiao became a burden?"
"Sister Fang!" Lin Jiaojiao looked at Zhang Fang who came in with a bit of surprise: "Why are you free to come at this time?"
"I'm here to deliver the documents to you! You're really capable!"
"I originally thought you were interested in design. After listening to what my wife said yesterday, should I now call you the food factory's chief designer?
“Food factory designer!”
Zhang Xiuqin and Li Wenying, who came in from the door together, just happened to hear what Zhang Fang said.
I was shocked on the spot.
Zhang Xiao'e and Ji Lan were also shocked.
Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at Lin Jiaojiao in disbelief.
Li Wenying was the first to react and rushed to the kitchen door to ask, "Is this true? You're still working in the design department of the food factory?"
"Part-time job, part-time job!" Lin Jiaojiao felt a little guilty.
"Oh my God!" Li Wenying was stunned by the answer and shook her head in disbelief. "Last week, I passed the teacher exam, and today I got my part-time job approved by the Women's Federation. Now I've got a part-time job at the food factory. You're really... I don't know how to describe it!"
Zhang Xiao'e grabbed Lin Jiaojiao's arm and said, "Wait a minute, what's going on? Are what those two comrades just said true? Besides being a teacher, you work part-time at the Haidao Hotel and are also helping out with the Women's Federation? You even worked at the food factory as... Yeah, a designer! Oh my god, what's going on?"
"Mom, this is a long story."
Zhang Xiuqin laughed and said, "That's not all Auntie has done. On July 1st, she even performed on stage. The head of the art troupe and the head of the canteen even came to visit her home in person, hoping that she could work for them. But Lin Jiaojiao refused!"
"Oh my God, oh my God!"
Zhang Xiao'e was so shocked that she didn't know what to say except these two words.
"I've only ever seen someone as proficient in all eighteen martial arts as you. I'm curious how many more surprises you have waiting for us!"
"Aunt Xiuqin, you're exaggerating! I just read a lot and like to delve into it. Actually, you three are amazing too!"
"Mom, you don't know, this sister-in-law Wenying is from the Women's Federation, and she has been working there for several years. If I hadn't passed the exam, I wouldn't have been able to get a part-time job at the Women's Federation so quickly."
Li Wenying felt a little embarrassed by the praise.
Zhang Xiao'e saw that her attitude was completely different from the last time she came, and after hearing what Lin Jiaojiao said, the grudge she had towards her also dissipated.
"Thank you so much."
"No, I didn't do much. It was all their own ability."
"I won't introduce Aunt Xiuqin any further. She's the gentlest person I've ever met. She's the best wife to the political commissar. Whenever there's a problem with the neighbors, she's always the first to rush forward. And then there's Zhang Fang, an employee at the Island Hotel. She's the most capable woman I've ever met. She's very capable in both words and deeds. I was able to get a part-time job at the Island Hotel thanks to her help. And the fact that I was able to get into the food factory this time is also because her husband is the chief designer in the design department of the food factory. That's pretty impressive!"
"You young men really bring honor to us women!"
Zhang Xiao'e exclaimed in amazement.
It made everyone feel a little shy.
"Okay, stop praising each other. My teeth are about to fall out. Auntie, let me help you!"
Li Wenying and Zhang Xiuqin also washed their hands and went into the kitchen to help.
For a moment, the kitchen was extremely lively.
Zhang Xiao'e looked at the four women next to her, feeling shocked but also a little relieved.
It was not until this moment that she truly understood her daughter-in-law.
It turns out that outstanding people are attracted to each other.
No wonder Lin Jiaojiao had persuaded her so righteously at the beginning, asking him to educate Ji Lan well and let her go to school well no matter what.
Only by expanding your knowledge can you become more capable!
Thinking of this, he waved to Ji Lan who was playing with the two children: "Lan girl, you just play there. Can't you see the kitchen is busy? Come and help wash the vegetables!"
"knew!"
Ji Lan was also an obedient person. She hurried to the kitchen, took the vegetable basin handed to her by Zhang Xiao'e, and ran to the backyard to wash it.
Lin Jiaojiao watched from the side and did not stop it.
After all, Ji Lan is ten years old now, and it is indeed time for him to learn to do things independently.
Li Wenying saw Zhang Xiao'e leave the kitchen for something, then she touched her shoulder with a smile and whispered, "To be honest, I used to feel bad for you being someone else's stepmother, but now seeing how your husband's family treats you, I'm really happy for you. They are both open-minded people!"
