Yao Yanxin's heart jumped. It seemed that this was a test from Teacher Zhai. She carefully examined the dress Teacher Zhai was wearing.
To make sure Yao Yanxin could see clearly, Teacher Zhai even stood up and spun around.
This dress is very simple, just an ordinary dark blue dress without any patterns, but it makes the wearer look very elegant.
Yao Yanxin looked at it and said, "Teacher, this dress was cut according to your body shape. It fits your body very well, and there are also some pinches at the sleeves and waist."
"It really shows off my figure and my temperament. That's all I can see. I can't see anything else."
Teacher Zhai was somewhat satisfied with Yao Yanxin's answer: "You can see that most of it, which is good. It shows that your aesthetic sense is still acceptable. But you're not young anymore, are you? This is your daughter, isn't she?"
"Yes, Tongtong is my daughter. As you know, things were a bit chaotic a while ago, and we all went to the countryside to avoid trouble. It was only after both of my children were admitted to university that I came back to Beijing."
Teacher Zhai seemed to recall something, and there was pain in her eyes, but she quickly regained her gentleness: "You are very insightful, even though you are a bit older."
"However, this situation is quite common now. As long as you have the desire to learn, that's fine. You can study with me when school starts. But can you balance family life? And will your in-laws have any objections?"
Yao Yanxin was surprised by how smoothly things went, and her eyes lit up with joy: "My husband is very supportive of my studies. I have two children, and both of them are in college."
Teacher Zhai was clearly surprised: "You don't look that old, yet you already have two children in college?"
"My two children are twins, a boy and a girl, and they both got into university!"
Teacher Zhai was a little envious: "I've heard that people who can give birth to twins are blessed. It seems you saved the world in your past life."
Yao Yanxin couldn't suppress the smile in her eyes any longer: "I... I am indeed quite lucky. Both of my children are doing very well, and they are taking care of me now!"
Teacher Zhai looked at Yao Tongjia, who had just helped her mother give her the materials. She was such a good child. "You are indeed very lucky. You will learn from me in the future, and I will share in your good fortune."
Yao Yanxin was momentarily speechless. Should she answer "yes," or something else? Seeing her mother's bewildered expression, Yao Tongjia quickly chimed in, "We will all become better in the future!"
These words made Teacher Zhai laugh. When she laughed, her wrinkles became even deeper, but she became even more beautiful. It is said that time cannot defeat a beautiful woman.
This was the first time Yao Tongjia had faced such a situation, and she couldn't help but exclaim, "Teacher Zhai, you are so beautiful!"
Teacher Zhai clearly knew this about herself: "It is beautiful, but in the previous situation, beauty was not a good thing!"
Yao Tongjia thought of Teacher Zhai's previous experience of being sent down to the countryside. Even a beautiful educated youth was bullied to death in the countryside, let alone a beautiful person who had been sent down to the countryside!
Teacher Zhai waved her hand repeatedly: "It's all in the past. Like you said, things will get better in the future. Does your mother need to stay at our school since she's coming to study there?"
"No need, no need. We have a place to stay at Huada University. Let my mom stay with us and go to and from school with me. If my mom does this, people will think she's my older sister!"
Teacher Zhai looked at Yao Yanxin's youthful appearance and said, "She does look like your sister. You'd better watch out, the male students at our school are quite enthusiastic."
"When I go to pick up my mom, I'll call her 'Mom' a few times, but all her enthusiasm will be dampened by my good daughter!"
Yao Tongjia's words made Teacher Zhai burst into laughter: "What you're saying is so funny! I like you just the way you are. Come to my place with your mother more often, and I'll design clothes for you myself!"
Yao Tongjia also likes Teacher Zhai's personality: "That's great, it lets me have elegant clothes to wear too. I really like this dress of yours!"
"That's easy! I'll make one for you. I can tell you have a perfect figure, I don't even need to take your measurements!"
"No way, you're so amazing, Teacher Zhai, you don't even need to measure your measurements..."
Several hours had passed when they drove out of Kyoto University. The mother and daughter had originally planned to go to the market to buy groceries to cook, but now there wasn't enough time.
They had no choice but to drive back to Huada University first. As soon as they arrived at the building, they saw Xiao Gengwu and He Jiale walking ahead with lunch boxes in their hands. Yao Tongjia quickly honked the horn.
"I was thinking of waiting until we got back to get our food, but you've already brought it all!"
He Jiale pouted, "Didn't you check the time? What time is it, Sister Tong? I thought you guys ate out and then came back!"
Yao Yanxin was a little embarrassed: "When I was chatting with Teacher Zhai, the time flew by without me realizing it. I will pay attention to the time next time."
He Jiale was embarrassed: "Aunt Yao, I was just joking with Sister Tong. Anyway, there's food in the canteen, so it doesn't matter who gets it."
Yao Tongjia locked her car and got out, going to the building next door: "When did this building appear here? I didn't even notice!"
"How blind were you to not see such a big building? This building belongs to Brother Xiao!" He Jiale felt a little unhappy and uneasy. Would they abandon him?
Upon hearing the car, Yao Tongxu ran downstairs but before she could even speak, He Jiale asked, "Ah Xu, will you abandon me?"
Yao Tongxu: "..." Who am I? Where am I? Why are these questions suddenly appearing out of nowhere!
Seeing that Yao Tongxu didn't answer, He Jiale pressed on, "The building next door belongs to Brother Xiao. Are you moving there with them too?"
Oh! The secret's out! Yao Tongxu immediately surrendered: "As long as you don't mind me, I'll live with you. This building also has half of Grandpa Xiao's, you see? It's divided into two parts!"
"Grandpa Xiao is a researcher, so he must have people accompanying him. I don't want to join in the fun. It's better if we live together!"
He Jiale was delighted: "Good brother, you said it yourself. If you dare to move in, I'll sleep in your bed!"
Seeing He Jiale and Yao Tongxu go in like good brothers, Yao Tongjia asked Xiao Gengwu, "Did your grandfather contact you?"
Xiao Gengwu shook his head: "They haven't contacted me, but I heard that the two elderly people came to teach at Huazhong University of Science and Technology and should be back soon. I wonder if they are easy to get along with?"
Xiao Gengwu was filled with anticipation and trepidation. He was afraid that the two elders would not get along, which would put his marriage with Tongtong in jeopardy.
He knew Ruan Shengpeng's personality well; he was the kind of person who wouldn't let his daughter suffer at all. Aunt Yao herself had been tormented by her mother-in-law, so she certainly didn't want Yao Tongjia to suffer the same way!
If the two elderly people acted even slightly out of line, Yao Tongjia would be immediately pulled away, making it difficult for him to see Yao Tongjia again!
