Ling Ran and Liu Xuewen laughed heartily. Zhou Yizhou's words were too ambiguous. Was he going to engrave it on a stele? That would take a hundred years.
Zhou Yizhou touched his head. What were they laughing at?
Thinking that he would have to work with Mr. Zhou in the future, Liu Xuewen kindly explained to him that when he mentioned the stele in the future, he must be careful with his words and it would be better to say "merit stele" instead of just "stele".
Zhou Yizhou finally realized that he had made a fool of himself. He chuckled and said, "I know too little about these social customs. From now on, I will need Brother Liu to take care of me."
Liu Xuewen nodded, "Don't worry! We all came here for the same goal, and now, we're leaving to have our names on the monument."
Zhou Yizhou's eyes were full of circles. Isn't this statement even more ambiguous?
Liu Xuewen laughed heartily. "It's just a joke. We said it privately. You still have to be careful when you go out."
Tian Li could hear her husband's laughter in the playroom. She hadn't heard him laugh so easily in years. Ever since he took up the position and faced pressure, it had always been heavy, not to mention the injustice he suffered after being pulled down.
"Think about it. Thank you for asking your brother-in-law to help you. His job is useless. It's a pity to throw it away, but you gave him hope and helped him regain his confidence."
Zhou Xiang smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm glad you don't blame me. I think it was Ma Shasha's grandfather who helped pull my brother-in-law down. It was because of me that I got into trouble with Ma Shasha in the first place."
Tian Li waved her hands repeatedly. "Don't blame yourself. Your brother-in-law is too straightforward. Officialdom isn't for him. He'll be able to work with you in running a school. He can shine in the education career he loves, and it will also give him ample say. He loves it. After receiving your call the other day, he talked to me until midnight, all about his anticipation for running a school."
Hearing this, Zhou Xiang smiled. "It just so happens that he can also serve as the principal of the junior and senior high school departments. That's quite a lot of power!"
After saying that, he burst out laughing.
Tian Li also laughed and said, "Yes! Building a school gives him a sense of accomplishment, and giving him the position of principal will definitely satisfy his desire for power."
Zhou Xiang suppressed his smile. "If the school is built, it will take at least three or four years. Shanshan should be in school by then. Why don't you manage the infirmary? As a gastroenterologist, you're very suitable for this position."
Tian Li paused for a moment and said, "We'll see then. Plans can't keep up with changes, right?"
"Okay, we'll talk about it later."
At noon, Zhou Xiang specifically asked his mother to put a piece of dried fruit in the soup.
Mother Zhou looked at the fish soup in the pot. "Add dried fruit? Isn't it sweet?"
"Don't worry! I'll use the hint of sweetness as a seasoning."
She will do whatever her little girl says!
At lunch, the rectangular dining table was almost full. Everyone was familiar with each other and didn't care about the seats. Except for the two Zhou fathers who sat facing each other at the east seat of the table, everyone else sat wherever they wanted.
Little Zhou Weibin was disliked and was sent to the opposite side by Yuanyuan with the reason being: boys with boys, girls with girls.
Tian Li asked her with a smile how she distinguished between boys and girls?
She replied seriously: "Auntie, you don't know how to tell the difference? You are so stupid."
Everyone at the table burst out laughing.
Tian Li replied seriously, "I really don't know how to tell them apart. Yuanyuan, please teach me!"
Yuanyuan sighed in a fake manner, "Okay! Hair, voice, name, height, temperament."
"Hey! Can they be distinguished based on temperament?"
"Of course, brothers are naughty, and sisters are good."
"What about you? Are you naughty or good?"
Yuanyuan thought about it and nodded, "I'm a good boy, grandma always praises me like this."
Tian Li looked at Zhou Yu enviously, "Your daughter is really smart and likes to use her brain."
Zhou Yu stole a glance at her sister. Her daughter was indeed much stronger than her two sons when they were young. She wondered if it was because of the bottle of medicine.
"Now that her family is relaxed, there are more people taking care of her and everyone teases her. That's just how she is. Children still need to communicate more with adults."
Zhou Xiang couldn't believe his second sister could say something so profound, so he agreed, "Yes, she'll learn faster if she communicates more."
Shanshan held the small wooden bowl and drank the fish soup, leaving her mouth free to continue eating from her mother.
Yuanyuan was sitting in a special child safety seat, holding the spoon horizontally to feed herself. There were rice grains on her mouth, body, and the ground around the chair.
Tian Li looked at Yuanyuan, then at her own hand that was feeding her, and paused before saying, "Shanshan, eat by yourself, okay?"
Shanshan nodded immediately. If her sister could eat by herself, she could definitely do it too.
However, the stool she was sitting on was not high enough, so she could not scoop the rice grains in the bowl.
Zhou Yu took Yuanyuan down from the children's chair and asked her to sit on a small stool, with her bowl placed on a second stool. He also gave Shanshan a second stool and a small stool. The two little girls sat side by side, eating and laughing at each other.
Before she knew it, Shanshan had eaten half a bowl more than usual, and even finished the small bowl of fish soup.
Tian Li worriedly asked her daughter if her stomach hurt. Shanshan shook her head and said, "Mom, can I drink that fish soup again? It's sweet and delicious."
Tian Li didn't know how to answer. This wasn't her home, and she couldn't change the dishes according to her daughter's taste.
Zhou Xiang agreed, "Okay! Shanshan, just tell me what you want to eat and ask Grandma Jiang to make it for you and Yuanyuan. She's the best at making dishes that children love."
Shanshan twisted her fingers and walked to Zhou's mother. "Grandma Jiang, I, I like steamed eggs and fish soup."
Zhou's mother agreed with a smile, "Okay! I'll make steamed eggs and fish soup in the evening. As long as Shanshan likes it."
"Thank you, Grandma Jiang."
Shanshan shyly ran back to her mother and said, "Mom, I told you, I told Grandma Jiang."
