Ye Zhaozhao was driving home after get off work when she was stopped by several people carrying luggage.
Seeing a woman driving such a nice car, the woman's face showed a hint of jealousy, and she spoke up.
"Comrade, we're going to the family compound up ahead. Could you give us a ride?"
The woman said this, but her eyes lingered on Ye Zhaozhao, as if to say, "What kind of car does a woman drive?" There were three of them in total.
It looks like it's from the countryside.
"cannot."
Ye Zhaozhao refused decisively, feeling both jealous and wanting a ride.
Doesn't this "wanting it all" attitude seem a bit pretentious? The woman had originally thought she was lucky enough to get a ride in a car today, but Ye Zhaozhao refused.
"I said your car is empty anyway, why don't you let us sit in it for a bit?"
"If that's the case, your money is just sitting there anyway, so why don't you let me spend it?"
The woman was speechless, not expecting Ye Zhaozhao to say that. While she was still in a daze, Ye Zhaozhao drove away.
When the three arrived at the Zhou family's house, Zhou Changjun was shocked to see them.
The three men looked at her with anger, and Zhou Changfeng gave her brother a cold look.
"Don't you know you should pick us up from home?"
"Mom and Dad, sister, what brings you here?"
The three of them then explained the purpose of their visit: a matchmaker had introduced Zhou Changfeng to a potential partner, and she had come for a blind date.
"Is Jinghong doing well in the countryside?"
Although she didn't like the child, he was still her son. The old woman glanced at him and said something.
“It’s fine. You know your brother’s personality. Besides, they don’t have a son, so they’ll raise him like their own.”
Hearing this, Zhou Changjun felt relieved. As for Lu Su, no one asked about her even when she wasn't home, since they didn't like her anyway.
Since becoming a teacher, Liu Chan has completely changed and is no longer as socially awkward as before.
That day, she brought mushrooms to Ye Zhaozhao.
As soon as she entered the door and put the mushrooms down, several military wives came to her with gifts, hoping she would take good care of their children.
Liu Chan didn't want to set a precedent. If she agreed to their request, others would also expect her to take care of their children.
With so many children, how could she possibly take care of them all? It would have been better to refuse them from the start.
"I will teach the child well. You can take your things back."
Seeing that Liu Chan refused, they wanted to say something more, but she didn't give them the chance.
Ye Zhaozhao admired her for refusing.
She had just become a teacher, and these military wives were only there because she was a new teacher.
That's why she came to find her. Liu Chan thought that her task was to teach the children knowledge, and she wouldn't think about anything else.
"You did a great job."
Hearing Ye Zhaozhao say that, Liu Chan smiled shyly, also after becoming a teacher.
She realized then that life could be so joyful.
As soon as Liu Chan left, the children returned. Meng Xi's eyes lit up when she saw the mushrooms on the table, and she spoke to Ye Zhaozhao.
"Pretty auntie, may I have chicken stew with mushrooms?"
Da Wu and Xiao Wu gasped. Those were chicks, not just any chicks. Could they just eat them whenever they wanted?
Although Meng Xi is cute, they still couldn't help but remind her.
"Aunt Ye's family doesn't have chicken, so we can't have chicken stew with mushrooms."
Originally, I thought Meng Xi would give up, but then she said that her family had some, so she asked her grandmother to go back and catch some.
Ye Zhaozhao tried to stop her, but it was too late; the little girl had already skipped and hopped home.
When she got home and saw her parents, she rushed over and the woman held her firmly in her arms.
"Is Xixi being a good girl with her grandparents?"
"Sweetie, Mommy, Grandma caught a chicken, I want to eat chicken stew with mushrooms."
Even when her parents came, Meng Xi didn't forget her promise to everyone that she would eat chicken stew with mushrooms.
The high-ranking official's wife immediately understood what was going on.
During this time, she has been eating at Ye Zhaozhao's house. Every time she is asked to bring food, she says no, because Brother Tuantuan said he would take care of her.
"We don't have chickens, but would roast duck work?"
The woman thought that she and her husband both worked in Kyoto, and since they had finally come back, she naturally wanted to fulfill all of her daughter's requests.
"OK."
Meng Xi was about to leave with the roast duck in her arms when Meng Hao stopped her.
Where are you going?
"Brother, I need to go find Brother Tuantuan and the others. They're still waiting for me."
Hearing an unfamiliar name from his younger sister for the first time piqued Meng Hao's interest.
Knowing he wanted to go out and have fun, the woman agreed, and the two of them left with the roast duck.
The children were all waiting at Ye Zhaozhao's house, but instead of Meng Xi bringing the chicks, she brought roast duck instead. Upon seeing this, Ye Zhaozhao asked her a question.
Does your grandma know you brought roast duck?
"I know, my mom and grandma asked me to bring this to share with everyone."
Hearing this, Ye Zhaozhao felt relieved, as she was worried that her family wouldn't know she had brought the child out.
It wouldn't be good to cause a misunderstanding, so I went and heated up the roast duck for everyone.
Meng Hao looked around, and only then did the children realize that there was another person behind Meng Xi.
Da Wu and Xiao Wu looked at him with curiosity, especially when they saw that he was wearing a suit and leather shoes.
Looking at the fabric of their clothes, they felt a little inferior and took a few steps back.
"Meng Xi, who is this?"
Xiao Wu couldn't help but ask, and Meng Xi, looking at her brother and wondering why he insisted on coming along, introduced him to everyone.
