After saying that, Hua Kai left. Zheng Shuzhen didn't need to say anything anymore; she could make herself half-dead with anger. Of course, she was already half-dead by now.
Zhao Xiuzhi, carrying a small bag of flour, saw Huakai off as she left: "Huakai, your fourth aunt doesn't have much to give you, as you have everything you need. This sesame seed was brought over by my nephew from my mother's side a few days ago; it's quite nice. Take it back and have your mother make you some steamed buns."
I know about perilla seeds. In my past life, when I was a child, my mother used roasted perilla seeds and white sugar as filling for a layered pancake made with sesame oil. The perilla seed filling was especially sweet and fragrant.
She wasn't embarrassed to accept the food. Although bringing food to the elderly was an act of filial piety, her fourth uncle and aunt had also taken advantage of her presence quite a bit. Besides, Gu Lanyan had indeed been helping them a lot lately.
So Hua Kai took the bag and said, "Thank you, Fourth Aunt."
Zhao Xiuzhi smiled and said, "No need to thank me, hurry back home. It's almost Chinese New Year, everyone at home is busy."
Hua Kai agreed, waved to Zhao Xiuzhi, and headed home.
As I walked through the blooming flowers, something came to mind: back then, there were no adult diapers, so many elderly people with limited mobility often wet the bed, which was really tough on them in winter.
Through this, Hua Kai also realized that children also use rings, not diapers.
There were no sanitary napkins available at that time.
Thinking about these things, Hua Kai had an idea: if she did this, she could definitely make money and even expand her business internationally.
Actually, there's nothing wrong with coming to this era. At least I have foresight, and making money is really easy.
The most important thing is that I have Ye Yifan, so I don't lack capital. When the time comes, I can let Ye Yifan's money make money. Wouldn't that be a great thing?
Before I knew it, I was home, and there I saw Gu Yan and Hua Qingyang talking at the door.
Seeing Hua Kai return, Gu Yan happily greeted her: "Little crybaby, I thought I wouldn't see you. My mom and I came to deliver New Year's goods to my grandpa, and we had to go back soon. I'm so glad you're back. I bought you a bag of delicious food."
Hua Kai still has a very good impression of Gu Yan because he is really warm, generous, and friendly.
She smiled and said, "Thank you so much. I thought you'd be coming on the second or third day of the Lunar New Year."
Gu Yan said, "I can still come on the third day of the Lunar New Year. Today, my mother is bringing me some cooked food and vegetables because it's hard to buy fresh vegetables here."
Hua Kai said, "Indeed, then why don't you stay here for the night before you leave?"
"No, it's almost Chinese New Year, and my family is busy. I can stay for a few days on the third day of the New Year and then I'll come and visit you. Although we're not kids anymore, I still want to go ice skating on the river with you, hunt rabbits in the mountains, and catch birds in the threshing ground." Gu Yan had too many childhood memories with Hua Kai and his siblings, so he was especially happy to come.
Hua Kai looked at Gu Yan and said, "Then let my brother take us out to play." Actually, Hua Kai was also quite interested in trying these things.
Gu Yan patted Hua Kai's shoulder happily: "Brother Yan will protect you."
Just then, a screeching sound of brakes came from the side. Ye Yifan's car had stopped right next to them, very close to Gu Yan.
Gu Yan was startled and turned around, about to get angry, but when he saw it was Ye Yifan, he changed his strategy and pulled Hua Kai's arm to the side of the road a couple of steps: "Little crybaby, be careful. I don't know what's wrong with people these days, driving like they're in a hurry to be reborn."
Before Hua Kai could react and speak, Ye Yifan had already jumped out of the car. Without even closing the door, he went straight between Hua Kai and Gu Yan and pulled Gu Yan's hand away, saying, "Be careful, don't pull each other like that."
When Gu Yan was pulled away by Ye Yifan's hand, he clearly felt that he was no match for him, so he would definitely suffer a loss if he fought back.
Furthermore, he and Ye Yifan weren't enemies; she was just the little sister he had taken a liking to. They hadn't even played together much since she came back, and someone else was already eyeing her. The main issue was that this man was so much older than Hua Kai, and he was worried about him. So, he mainly wanted to make things difficult for Ye Yifan, and also to make him less likely to win Hua Kai over so easily. If it were too easy, he was afraid she wouldn't cherish it.
So at this moment, he smiled and looked at Hua Kai, asking, "Little crybaby, we've been friends since we were kids, so we're practically family, right?"
Hua Kai actually knew Gu Yan's thoughts, and Gu Yan was also doing it for her own good. However, Hua Kai understood Ye Yifan's domineering nature even better, so she quickly made them calm down. Otherwise, if the parents came out and started making a fuss, her relationship with Ye Yifan might become impossible to hide.
So Hua Kai said, "You are all my friends, let's be harmonious. When we get back to the city, I'll treat you to dinner."
Ye Yifan was not satisfied with Hua Kai's words: "When we get back to the city, let's invite Gu Yan to dinner together."
Gu Yan disagreed, saying, "The little crybaby is my sister. If anyone should treat, it should be us treating you."
Hua Kai is quite experienced in other areas, but she really lacks experience in relationships. In fact, she knows in her heart that one is her childhood friend and the other is her boyfriend. Moreover, her boyfriend also knows that he and Gu Yan are childhood friends. Why is this guy so stubborn?
She tugged at Ye Yifan's sleeve: "You're older than Gu Yan, can you be a little more considerate of him?"
Seeing Hua Kai talking to Ye Yifan like that, Gu Yan became unhappy again: "Little crybaby, I'm telling you, girls can't be so proactive. Listen to your brother Yan Yan, come over here." He then went to pull Hua Kai away.
Ye Yifan placed her hand on Hua Kai's shoulder and refused to let go. She said to Gu Yan, "You and Hua Kai are not children anymore. There should be some distance between you. Don't you understand that?"
Gu Yan said to Ye Yifan, "You talk a good game, but have you actually done anything about it? Take your hand away." As he spoke, Gu Yan reached out and grabbed Ye Yifan's hand.
Fortunately, Gu Yan's cousin arrived at this moment and called Gu Yan back, saying that his mother was going to wait for the bus back to the city and that he should hurry up so as not to miss the bus.
Hua Kai quickly said to Gu Yan, "Gu Yan, you should go back now. I'll talk to you about this privately when I have time."
Gu Yan looked at Ye Yifan and said, "Let me tell you, you're not allowed to lie to Hua Kai." Then he went back with his cousin. There was only one train left, and it was almost Chinese New Year. If he didn't go back today, his family would definitely be angry, so Gu Yan left.
Watching Gu Yan leave, Hua Kai breathed a sigh of relief and said to Hua Qingyang, "Go inside first and tell Mom that Ye Yifan and I have something to do and will be back in a bit."
Hua Qingyang hadn't quite understood what she was seeing earlier, but now, listening to her sister's words, she nodded in agreement.
Ye Yifan said to Hua Qingyang, "There are some vegetables and fruits in the trunk. Take them in and don't tell your family about what happened earlier."
Hua Qingyang nodded again. To be honest, he didn't really understand either. Anyway, it wasn't a big deal, so he didn't say anything. Then he went to his car to get his things and went inside.
