Chapter 68: Peace of Mind (Part 3)
When Mrs. Cui heard this, she was a little touched.
She almost forgot about her son's lunch, but she didn't expect Zhiluo to remember it even though she was so busy.
"Okay, I'll watch over the stall and fry the chive dumplings."
Mrs. Cui knows how to fry leek dumplings and how to make them.
Someone came over at this moment. An old lady was holding her grandson's hand. She looked at the stall and said, "Hey, little girl, we came at the perfect time. They're almost done. I'll buy six."
A young woman at the back said, "And me, I'll buy four."
Jiang Zhiluo explained softly, "These six in this pot are not for sale. If you want to buy, you can only wait for the next pot."
Jiang Zhiluo put six in this pot and sent them to Cui Hejin later.
The old lady said unhappily, "Ah, you already put six in. Why do I have to wait for the next batch if I buy six? We agreed on this, first come, first served."
Old Madam Cui was squatting and making a fire. When she heard the sound, she suddenly became furious. She quickly stood up to protect Jiang Zhiluo.
Jiang Zhiluo stopped Madam Cui and shook her head at her. Then she smiled and patiently explained to the old lady, "It's like this. My husband teaches at the school and it's quite hard. I was worried that he would be hungry, so I thought I'd fry it and send it to him first."
"I'm so sorry, I'll definitely fry the next pot for you first."
Jiang Zhiluo spoke softly, without any impatience or anxiety, with a smile on her face, which calmed the old lady's anger.
She looked at Jiang Zhiluo and was surprised. "Oh, my dear, you are married and have a husband."
Jiang Zhiluo smiled and nodded, "Yeah."
"Yes, yes. I, an old lady, like to see young couples living in harmony. You know how to love your husband, and my daughter-in-law also knows how to love others. That's great."
The old lady thought of her son and daughter-in-law.
Her eldest daughter-in-law only cares about herself and doesn't even care about her eldest son when he comes back late from work.
She got a headache whenever she thought about it, but luckily her daughter-in-law was caring and had a harmonious relationship with her youngest son. The two of them lived a caring life, so she didn't have to worry.
So the old lady also felt good about Jiang Zhiluo.
Jiang Zhiluo raised the corners of her mouth slightly and said, "My husband is very good."
Although he doesn't say anything, he actually cares about people the most.
The old lady laughed when she heard Jiang Zhiluo's words. Then she looked at Old Madam Cui and understood immediately, "This is your daughter-in-law, right? She is beautiful and capable. Having such a daughter-in-law will bring prosperity to the family."
Mrs. Cui's smile was about to overflow from her eyes. "That's right, this child is really good. Ever since she married my son, our family's life has improved."
If Madam Cui were to praise Jiang Zhiluo, she would have endless things to say.
The old lady looked at the old lady's expression and nodded in her heart. The mother-in-law is clear-headed and the daughter-in-law is smart and capable. This family is very good.
Someone behind him was also stunned when he heard these words, "Ah, it's not a little girl, it's a young lady, she's married."
“It looks very small.”
"She's about fifteen, that's the age of marriage."
"Such a beautiful girl is getting married!"
"They're a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law. I thought they were mother and daughter. I was thinking of asking my son what he thought when he came back from the capital."
The family has a son who is of marriageable age. Seeing that Jiang Zhiluo is beautiful, good-tempered and capable, he couldn't help but have some ideas about her.
As Mrs. Cui listened to everyone's discussion, she felt a strong sense of crisis.
No, I must talk to He Jin when I get back and ask him to treat Zhiluo well. Doesn’t he see that Zhiluo is so popular!
Jiang Zhiluo just laughed off everyone's jokes.
The fried chive dumplings were ready, so she quickly wrapped them up and hurried towards the school.
Old Madam Cui stood in front of the stall, looking at Jiang Zhiluo who was hurrying on her way, her eyes welling up with tears.
This kid is so nice.
She felt relieved that her son could marry such a good wife.

Graphite Academy
Jiang Zhiluo walked very fast, and even ran behind. She was afraid that if she came too late, Cui Hejin would be hungry.
But when she arrived, the class was still in session.
Jiang Zhiluo breathed a sigh of relief and waited at the door.
The servant knew Jiang Zhiluo, and when he saw her, he hurriedly said, "Madam Cui, you are here to see Master Cui, right?"
Jiang Zhiluo smiled and nodded, "Yeah."
"Then I'll go in and tell Master Cui."
Jiang Zhiluo waved her hand and said, "Forget it. Don't disturb his class. I don't have anything to do anyway. I'll just wait here for a while."
Although Jiang Zhiluo was anxious to go back and fry and sell leek dumplings, in her heart, nothing was more important than Cui Hejin.
So she waited patiently at the door.
The boy scratched the back of his head, a little confused.
Jiang Zhiluo stood under a big tree. The spring breeze blew across her cheeks with a hint of warmth, blowing the hair around her ears.
It seemed that the sound of reading aloud in the school could also be heard.
At this moment, her heart became calm and peaceful.
Perhaps she could always feel at ease where he was.
She felt that the sky was very blue, the air she breathed was so fresh, and the sunshine was so bright.
After a while, the class was over and the children's laughter could be heard from inside.
The servant looked at Madam Cui who was quietly looking at a painting, and still went inside and said something to Cui Hejin.
After class, Cui Hejin did not rush to leave the classroom, but slowly organized the lesson plan at the desk.
Just then the servant came in and said, "Master Cui!"
Cui Hejin whispered, "Well, what's the matter?"
"Master Cui, your wife is here to see you."
Hearing this, Cui Hejin paused and opened his picturesque eyes.
The servant looked at the change in Master Cui's expression and thought to himself that the cold Master Cui must care about his wife.
"Master Cui, your wife came here two quarters of an hour ago and was waiting at the door. I asked her to come in and call you, but she wouldn't let me. She was afraid of disturbing your class, so she just stood there waiting."
Cui Hejin was worried that something might have happened, so he didn't bother to organize the lesson plan and students' homework, and hurried out quickly.
When he arrived at the door and saw Jiang Zhiluo's figure, his expression changed slightly.
Jiang Zhiluo, on the other hand, had been looking at the door. When she saw Cui Hejin, she felt that his figure was like bamboo dew and gentle breeze, and his aura was like apricot blossoms and spring rain, warm and elegant.
The moment she saw him, Jiang Zhiluo smiled and walked over with brisk steps.
Cui Hejin walked a few steps towards her, looked down at her, and asked softly, "But what happened to the stall?"
Jiang Zhiluo's expression faltered, and she pouted, "If nothing happened, I wouldn't be able to come to you."
After hearing these words, Cui Hejin probably understood that nothing was wrong, and he felt slightly relieved.
Jiang Zhiluo blinked and looked at him, seeming a little aggrieved.
He looked at her eyes, which seemed to be able to speak. He was silent for a moment and said softly, "No, don't think too much."
