"There were wars everywhere in those days, so there probably wasn't a chance to find them," Grandma Lan sighed, trying to comfort her.
Lin Atai waved her hand, "Whether you hide or don't want to look, it doesn't matter to me."
Looking at these photos now is just because I have nothing better to do.
So many years have passed, she has long since come to terms with it.
Besides, her uncle is very arrogant and probably wouldn't even bother to look for them.
The rain pattered incessantly, and a chilly breeze swept by.
Grandma sneezed and quickly turned to look at the crib. The two children were still sleeping soundly, completely undisturbed.
“We won’t be going back to Beijing for the Spring Festival this year. It’s snowing heavily there right now, and the two children can’t stand it.” Grandma Lan covered the two children with a thin blanket.
Now that the two elderly members of the Lu family live here permanently, they no longer need to bring the children back to Beijing for them to see.
…
At that moment, a car was driving towards Haibi Village in the rain.
The chubby girl gripped the steering wheel tightly, her expression serious.
I went to the tax bureau today, and they actually blocked the tax bill from Hairun Electrical Appliances City.
She contacted several acquaintances in the bureau, and they all gave the same answer: they were busy at the end of the year and couldn't handle it on the same day.
After discussing it with the accountant, the chubby girl decided to go again the next day.
After she parked her car, she saw Cao Dezheng walking towards her with a large umbrella.
It was getting dark, and she turned on the headlights, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to see that it was Cao De.
"Why did you come here? Who's with the little dumpling?" The chubby girl asked hurriedly as she got off the bus, carrying her purse.
Cao De: "We'll talk about it when we get back."
The two walked quickly home, and as soon as they entered the main room, they smelled the aroma of zongzi (sticky rice dumplings).
The chubby girl's eyes lit up instantly, "Mom made meat dumplings?"
"It's cooking now, it'll be done in another hour." Cao De shook his head and chuckled.
With a loud crash, thunder shook the heavens.
The little dumpling broke free from Uncle Chen and rushed into the chubby girl's arms, pouting as if she wanted to cry.
Uncle Chen, "..."
So, you'd rather not see your own mother than anyone else?
The chubby girl picked up her daughter and headed straight for the kitchen.
Aunt Chen was adding firewood when she saw the little girl holding her daughter.
"Aren't you worried at all? Look how aggrieved this little girl is!"
"We came back at noon, and the little dumpling waited at the door all afternoon."
The chubby girl's lips twitched. So, having a granddaughter meant she no longer had a mother's love?
“The tax bureau is holding up the documents, what can I do?” she replied.
Aunt Chen grabbed her apron and wiped her hands. "What documents are you holding up? Is there a problem with the shrimp paste factory's tax invoices?"
Her heart skipped a beat when she thought of the false accounts Aunt Huang had made.
The chubby girl sat down in the wicker chair and slowly said, "It's not a tax invoice from the shrimp paste factory."
Aunt Chen breathed a sigh of relief; as long as it wasn't from a shrimp paste factory, it was fine.
She wasn't familiar with tax matters, and now that she's no longer involved in the shrimp paste factory's accounts, things have become much easier.
In previous years, she would have had to go to the tax bureau at this time, but this year she didn't have to.
Aunt Chen wanted to ask more, but seeing her daughter's expression, she didn't dare to ask.
She only manages the shrimp paste factory; she can't control anything else, so asking her is pointless.
The chubby girl looked down at the little dumpling and found that she had fallen asleep, but the hand around her neck was still very tight.
When will you be free from being busy?
“You can’t earn all this money. The little dumpling is getting more and more attached to you as she grows up. It breaks my heart to see her like this. How can you be so heartless?” Aunt Chen sighed.
The chubby girl twitched her lips. "Mom, haven't I taken care of enough?"
Why are you always picking on me?
She was already irritable, and her mother's nagging only made her more annoyed.
She was only busy for a month or two at the end of the year, and she didn't think she had wronged her daughter.
Aunt Chen glared at her daughter, "Little dumpling didn't take a nap this afternoon, just to wait for you to come back."
"Forget it, I don't care about your young people's affairs."
The chubby girl didn't argue with her; the words went in one ear and out the other.
Her mind was now on the tax invoices, and she was wondering whether she should go to the Lin family to find Ah Yan.
The tax bureau's response was ambiguous, as if they were deliberately concealing something.
Fatty knew that tax evasion was being cracked down on severely right now, and if something really went wrong, it would be a big deal.
Thinking of this, she couldn't wait a moment longer.
"Mother, you hold the little dumpling, I'm going to the Lin family to find Ayan." The chubby girl handed her daughter over and hurriedly grabbed an umbrella to go to the Lin family.
Aunt Chen, holding the child, said, "Put on your rain boots and walk slowly..."
Lightning flashed and thunder roared, but the heavy rain continued.
At that moment, a group of teachers were having a meal together in the elementary school cafeteria.
This was a get-together before the end of the semester, and everyone tacitly agreed not to go home.
After returning to school from the port, Wang Erniu quickly took a cold shower and rushed to help out at the school cafeteria.
After the primary school moved, many new teachers were recruited, and Wang Erniu was one of them.
Most of the physical education teachers were recruited after the relocation; previously, the homeroom teacher also served as the physical education teacher.
"Teacher Wang, if you don't come over soon, we're about to start eating."
A female teacher waved to him.
A hint of disdain flashed in Wang Erniu's eyes, but he didn't show it on his face, and smiled gently.
"I was exercising in my dorm just now and didn't notice the time."
His dormitory has a lot of exercise equipment, which is known to most of the teachers at the school.
After moving into the dormitory, he invited the school teachers to a housewarming party, where everyone had dinner in his small living room.
"Teacher Wang is indeed self-disciplined, having been hired with the highest test score."
The principal praised him, nodding repeatedly.
Wang Erniu just smiled and didn't take the opportunity to chat with the principal.
He had ulterior motives for joining the company and kept his distance from the other teachers at the school.
He seems to get along with everyone, but in reality, he's just putting on a show.
Wang Erniu moved to the side; the female teacher who had greeted him earlier was practically clinging to him.
