The two children who tasted KFC were amazed, exclaiming how delicious it could be.
Hamburgers, fries, popcorn chicken...
Together, they created a completely new flavor in the mouth, especially with the addition of sweet and sour tomato sauce. Both children ended up eating until they were stuffed.
Finally, Liu Zi bought three ice creams, giving the dinner a perfect ending.
They ate happily, but when they got home and saw Liu Daqiang and Xu Mei who had been waiting for them, Qiqi was the first to have a mental breakdown.
She rushed into her grandmother's arms and confessed all the bad things she had done that night to her grandparents.
Liu Zi covered her face, feeling honored to stand as punishment alongside her daughters for the first time since becoming an adult.
Xu Mei muttered to herself in the kitchen, "How could Liu Zi let a child eat ice cream so late at night? What if he gets an upset stomach?"
Liu Zi is such an unreliable mother. Someone needs to keep an eye on things at home. I wonder when Sister Zhang will be back.
Aunt Zhang, whom Xu Mei had been nagging, had just boarded the train and breathed a sigh of relief.
She originally wanted to stay at home for two more days, but ever since she heard that she went to the township to collect her pension, people coming to borrow money have almost filled the entire courtyard.
She said she hadn't received the money, and these relatives and neighbors said she looked down on them and refused to lend it to them. Later, they even held a grudge and threw bricks at her house in the middle of the night.
In the past, she wouldn't have cared, and might even have thought that these people could kill her right away, but now she values her life very much.
She wanted to watch Lingzi grow up, to see her get married, start a family, and have children. She wanted her life to have purpose and hope, so she couldn't die.
Unable to argue with these people who had lost their minds for money, she had no choice but to leave. After sending a letter to her older brother at the post office, Aunt Zhang left with Zheng Dong, who came to pick her up in the middle of the night.
Looking at the familiar mountains, roads, and houses, Aunt Zhang sighed inwardly. She decided she should come back less often in the future.
Two days later, Liu Zi picked up Aunt Zhang and Zheng Dong at the Beijing Railway Station.
Zheng Dong looked alright, but Aunt Zhang not only looked unwell, she had also lost a lot of weight.
Liu Zi didn't say anything, but just smiled and told her that Lingzi and Qiqi were waiting for their mother-in-law at home, and they had been wondering why their mother-in-law hadn't come back yet.
A warm feeling welled up in Aunt Zhang's heavy heart.
yes!
She still has two little ones thinking of her. She's seen through those people's true colors long ago, so why should she be heartbroken now?
In an instant, Zhang Da Niang's eyes regained their light; she now missed her two precious children terribly.
It was already Wednesday evening, and the sky was ablaze with sunset colors, but the temperature outside was still very hot.
After getting into the car, Zheng Dong smelled the odor on himself and, embarrassed, declined the boss's invitation, wanting only to go home and take a shower.
Liu Zi didn't insist, thinking there would be plenty of time in the future. She took Zheng Dong home first, and then turned around and headed home herself.
With no one else on the bus, Liu Zi cautiously inquired about what had happened to Aunt Zhang along the way.
Aunt Zhang probably wanted to confide in someone, so she poured out her heart little by little, like beans spilling from a bamboo tube.
"Auntie, people are always jealous of those who have it and laugh at those who don't. Why can you come to Beijing while they can't? Naturally, some people will be jealous, which is why I had Zheng Dong accompany you back."
"I just didn't expect them to dare throw stones into the yard. That's going too far." Liu Zi didn't expect the situation to be so different from reality. Fortunately, the old lady wasn't injured. It seems that next time she goes back, she'll have to bring more people to accompany her.
"Forget it, the villagers have a weak sense of law. They're only doing this because they're considering my status. Otherwise, they could easily burn down houses or even chop firewood." Aunt Zhang has lived in the countryside her whole life and knows the customs of Yangjiao Township well.
"Is it that powerful?" Liu Zi felt her defense level increase again.
"Auntie, have you ever thought about moving Uncle's grave to the county martyrs' cemetery? And Brother Zhang, how about we erect a cenotaph for him there?" Liu Zi suggested cautiously.
Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang's branch has no descendants. Although descendants from other branches offer incense during Qingming Festival and Chinese New Year, who will remember who is buried here after two more generations?
"But I..." When Aunt Zhang thought about going back this time, the weeds on her husband's grave were half a person tall, and her eyes welled up with tears.
"Auntie, things can be done by human effort. I'll take care of these things. Brother Zhang was a brave and fearless martyr who sacrificed himself for the country. I believe the local government will consider it." Liu Zi had heard of cases of joint burials in the past, especially in a county-level martyrs' cemetery. This matter was still worthwhile.
"I just don't know if the Zhang family elders will agree." Liu Zi was still worried.
"This will bring honor to the Zhang family, they won't object." Aunt Zhang gritted her teeth. She already had a plan in mind. As long as the government agreed, she would do it.
"I'm entrusting this matter to you. As for building a cenotaph for Qiangzi, I think we should wait until I go to Yunnan Province to see him before we talk about it." Aunt Zhang was a little flustered when she first heard Liu Zi's suggestion.
Liu Zi agreed. To be on the safe side, she decided to go back and discuss the feasibility with her father first, and then ask Attorney Rong to follow up on the follow-up matters.
Li Mu received a call from Xu Er, who was in Hong Kong.
"Boss, the matter you asked Uncle Yao to handle has been completed. An Shouyi is severely weakened and has retreated to Malai."
There's a reason why Liu Zi's matter has dragged on for so long. The Anpai faction has been entrenched in the Hong Kong market for many years and has produced many talented people. How could they swallow such a huge loss?
So when the civil approach failed, the only option was to resort to force. Taking advantage of the central government's efforts to rectify the chaos in Hong Kong, Li Mu directly pushed the An faction to the forefront. With Uncle Yao cutting off their Achilles' heel from behind, An Shouyi, the leader of the An faction, was forced to withdraw from the historical stage of Hong Kong.
Anpai's original businesses were completely devoured by others, and even Li Mu and Uncle Yao acquired several businesses, which can be considered a win-win situation.
As for Venus Records, it disbanded directly, and Xu Jin and Lin Lianlian switched to Zheng Nan Records.
Upon receiving the news, Liu Zi was overjoyed and immediately instructed Wang Jian to book a tour for everyone to go on a publicly funded trip to Beidaihe!
Just as Liu Zi was hesitating whether to drive herself or go with the company team, Liu Daqiang brought back some news.
The Beijing-Harbin Expressway will soon be fully open to traffic. If they drive there, they can first take the Beijing-Tianjin-Tangshan Expressway and then transfer to the Beijing-Chenjiang Expressway, which will shorten the travel time considerably and is also safer.
So Liu Zi decisively gave up taking the train, since she was both old and young, and she didn't want to cause any injuries from the crowded train.
When it came time to choose a place to stay, Liu Zi was at a loss.
