"Hey, you're a leader now, and you can't even afford a meal? Who are you trying to fool?"
"Get out of my way. All I'm offering is a plate of peanuts and a plate of stir-fried cabbage. Take it or leave it."
"Alright, you can keep it for yourself. And from now on, don't call yourself Zhang Meng, just call yourself Zhang Kou."
"Hey kid, if you have something to say, say it. If not, I'm hanging up."
"Something's up, something's up. I must have something to tell you. I heard you just started a new job, so I brought you two of my own people."
"One of our own? Who is it?" Zhang Meng asked with interest.
“You’ve met my nephew, his name is Wang Jiadong, and his wife is Cao Xiaojuan. Jiadong is now a squad leader in the criminal investigation team of your city bureau, and his wife works in the public security department of the Dongcheng branch.”
"Yes, I know Jiadong and his wife. I even went to their wedding. You mean...?"
"There's nothing wrong with Jia Dong. His wife is currently working in the field. If possible, try to transfer her to an internal affairs department."
Zhang Meng thought for a moment before saying, "How about tomorrow? I'll transfer her to the equipment section."
"Thanks, Brother Meng. You don't need to treat me. I'll treat you to dinner when you're less busy. It's Donglaishun, all you can eat with lamb."
"Okay, I'll remember what you said. I can't chat with you anymore. I still have some things to write. I'll get this done in the next day or the day after."
"Okay, you go ahead with your work, Meng Ge. See you another day."
After hanging up the phone, he heard Ding Qiunan calling him from the bedroom.
When I entered the bedroom, I saw that her eyes were not even open.
"What time is it, darling?"
"It's not even eleven o'clock yet, are you still going to sleep?"
Upon hearing the time, Ding Qiunan opened her eyes with a "whoosh".
"Oh no, it's already eleven o'clock! I need to get up quickly, or my mom will definitely come in and beat me up."
She then broke free from his embrace and hurriedly began to put on her clothes.
The children will be back for dinner around 12:00, so she has to get up quickly to cook.
If Aunt Ding comes over later and sees her still lying in bed, she'll really have to teach her a lesson.
For a moment, she even regretted letting her parents live so close by.
Otherwise, she could really stay in her husband's arms all day without getting up.
Seeing his wife's flustered appearance, Li Chu smiled and said, "It's okay, don't worry. I've already kneaded the dough. I'll roll out some noodles later. When you get up, just stir-fry some meat sauce. We'll have noodles with minced meat sauce for lunch."
"Phew..." Ding Qiunan let out a long sigh after hearing his words.
Thank you, darling.
"Silly girl," Li Chu chuckled and ruffled her hair. "Okay, go take a shower first. I'll roll out the dough and then go pick up the kids."
Upon arriving in the kitchen, he quickly prepared the noodles, then called Wang Yueyue, and the two of them set off.
"Dad Chu, after Sister Hui and Brother Xuan get into university, will they be living on campus?"
On the way to pick up the students from school, Wang Yueyue, who was sitting in the passenger seat, suddenly asked a question.
"Yes, they all require to live on campus."
"Ah..." Wang Yueyue's mood suddenly plummeted.
"Hehe," Li Chu chuckled and reached out his right hand to ruffle her hair. "Silly girl, they'll come back when they're off work on the weekend."
"But... but that means we can only see each other once a week!" Wang Yueyue pouted, looking unhappy.
"It's not like we can only see each other once every month or two. We can see each other every week. Besides, you have classes during the week, so we can hang out together on weekends."
“Hmm…” Wang Yueyue thought for a moment and said, “Actually, that makes sense. I can stay there then and come back to stay on the weekend.”
"Hmm, you've done a good job, little girl."
"Hehe, if I don't go back soon, my parents might not want me anymore."
"You still know that? Your dad has called countless times."
Wang Yueyue playfully stuck out her tongue: "Going back there is no fun."
"By the way, Yueyue, spend more time with your grandma when you have time. Your grandpa is too busy with work right now, and grandma is all alone at home. She's so lonely."
"I understand, Dad. Then why don't you bring Grandma here to live? There are more people here, and Grandma won't be lonely if she comes over, right?"
Upon hearing this, Li Chu gave a wry smile. He also wanted to bring Aunt Wang to live with him, but now that Uncle Wang's status had risen, it was too troublesome for Aunt Wang to go out.
Let alone staying at his place, even staying at Wang Jun's place would be a huge hassle.
Now, even if he wants to go to Uncle Wang's house, he has to be checked for half a day.
Whether you know each other or not, these are all normal procedures.
In addition, as a member of the health care team, he really can't visit Uncle Wang's house often now, lest it cause unnecessary gossip.
Sigh, to be honest, he felt it wasn't as good as a few years ago, when he was much freer.
"Yueyue, your grandma can't move around freely right now."
Actually, as soon as Wang Yueyue finished speaking, she realized what she had said. She wasn't an ignorant child anymore; how could she not know the situation at her grandparents' house?
"Dad Chu, I will go back to visit Grandma often in the future."
"Good boy, you're a good boy."
"Oh dear, Mr. Chu, he's all an adult now."
"Haha, you little girl, no matter how old you are, you're still a child to me."
"Dad Chu, do you think I'll be as happy as you and Aunt Qiu Nan after I marry Brother Xuan?"
Li Chu looked at Wang Yueyue in surprise: "Yueyue, how do you know that I'm happy with your mother Qiu Nan?"
"I can tell. You all have smiles on your faces every day. That doesn't lie."
Wow, this little girl is so observant.
"You have to live your own lives, and whether you're happy or not is up to you to manage. As for what will happen to you and Wenxuan in the future, I can't say for sure. As your father, of course I hope you can be happy."
"Oh," Wang Yueyue responded thoughtfully.
"Little girls, you're all still young, don't think so much, just enjoy life."
"I understand, Father Chu." Wang Yueyue gave him a bright smile.
...
Before they knew it, it was the afternoon of the 9th. Li Chu, Ding Qiunan, and Wang Yueyue were all standing at the school gate. In just over ten minutes, the exam would be over.
Originally, Ding's parents wanted to come, but considering that there wouldn't be enough room on the bus, they gave up and waited at home for their two students to return in triumph.
"Li Chu, do you think Wenhui and Wenxuan will be fine this time?"
As the exams came to an end, Ding Qiunan felt a mix of anxiety and uncertainty.
"Don't worry, honey, the kids are fine. Their preliminary exam results speak for themselves."
"Mom Qiu Nan, Sister Hui and Brother Xuan will definitely do well on the exam."
Wang Yueyue chimed in from the side.
