Chapter 371 Initial Thoughts



Chen Xiangzhi exposed him directly, "Grandpa, this is meaningless. Others want to eat but can't. If you and grandma want to eat, it's just a matter of making a phone call. Grandpa Gao would love for you to come often."

As far as Shen Xiangzhi knew, this courtyard originally belonged to the Su family, and was later registered under the name of Grandpa Gao.

Of course, this was a gift from Grandpa Su. Anyway, the Su family is a big family and attracts a lot of attention. Most of the things that are in the open cannot be kept, so it is better to give them to people close to them.

I heard that my grandfather’s ancestor was an imperial chef who was rescued by the Su family when he was in trouble, and then several generations in a row worked as chefs in the Su family. The friendship between them is certainly extraordinary.

Of course, most of the older generation in Jiangcheng knew about these things, but the young people knew less. They only knew that Shen Xiangzhi was very popular with Mr. Gao.

In fact, the reason why Mr. Gao was receiving guests at the beginning was that Zhao Peng and his friends knew that Shen Xiangzhi had a good relationship with him, so they took the initiative to ask Shen Xiangzhi to intercede for them to come to his house. In addition, Mr. Gao was really bored, so he would entertain a table at home from time to time, which not only fulfilled his hobby, but also earned some pocket money.

"You kid, do you think your grandma and I are like you, with good legs and feet, and can run wherever we want?" Grandpa Su said as he picked up a piece of dessert and placed it in front of Grandma Su.

"Then just let me know when you want to eat, and I'll run errands and bring it to you." Chen Xiangzhi also took a piece for An Hongdou, and even took care of old lady An.

Seeing the way Shen Wanhua was looking at his chopsticks, he simply gave everyone a piece.

Fortunately, the two plates of dim sum were large in size, otherwise they wouldn’t be enough for the whole table.

In terms of age, Mrs. An is only a few years younger than Grandma Su and her husband, but in terms of seniority, she is a generation lower than them.

Old Mrs. An looked at Grandma Su's elegant eating habits and forced herself to slow down.

She told herself that although it was not elegant, at least she should not eat in a hurry and embarrass her daughter.

He had never had a good life in his life. It was only in recent years that he was able to eat fine grains and meat thanks to his daughter.

To her, snacks are a luxury.

Looking at the delicious mung bean cake in front of you, with its clear green color and a slight yellow tint, it makes you reluctant to eat it.

Especially the refreshing fragrance at the first sip made Mrs. An more aware of the life of city dwellers. It turned out that even the way of eating could be so different.

People in the city eat for enjoyment, but they eat purely to have more strength to work better.

No wonder everyone wants to run to the city.

However, when the food came up one after another, Mrs. An was stunned.

After eating this meal, she felt that what she had eaten before was simply pig food.

They had a very pleasant meal, and even when they went home, Mrs. An still felt a lot of emotion in her heart.

On the way, she held An Hongdou's hand, feeling greatly comforted, and said, "Hongdou, your father-in-law's attitude seems to have changed a lot."

Fortunately, this change was for the better, so she didn't have to worry about her daughter having a hard time in her husband's family.

An Hongdou smiled and said, "It's a big change."

Probably, because of the kids.

Especially in the past two years, the children have grown up a bit, and Shen Wanhua is not so dissatisfied with her anymore.

In An Changyue's words, Shen Wanhua was still a little afraid of him, but An Hongdou didn't think so.

Perhaps, she is not aware of her bad reputation outside.

Many people outside are saying that Chen Xiangzhi's wife An Hongdou is an evil star. When she first came to Jiangcheng, she became famous in two schools and even caused her father-in-law and step-mother-in-law to divorce.

There are even rumors that she is responsible for the Li family's decline.

Of course, only An Hongdou knew that these were indeed true.

If the Li family had not offended her, she would not have discovered their secret.

So, one has to be low-key in life, and even if one has power, one cannot be too powerful, otherwise, someone will always come to take it away.

Mrs. An originally planned to come and stay for a few days to see how An Hongdou was doing. If everything was going well, she would feel relieved.

But it was not easy to come here as it was thousands of miles away, and the ride in the car was uncomfortable. She was worried about going back alone, so she just stayed there.

An Changyue didn't come until a few days before school started. This was her first time trying to take a train alone. She kept the adults' words in mind and rejected everyone who tried to chat her up on the train.

Fortunately, we had a safe journey.

A huge change also took place in her heart. She seemed to have suddenly grown up and was very proud.

After school started, An Changyue officially entered junior high school and the three little ones also went to kindergarten.

The family suddenly became quiet without three children, as if the whole world was missing.

An Hongdou is currently idle at home, waiting for the resumption of the college entrance examination.

Old lady An has recently become obsessed with the radio. She lies under a tree in the yard all day long, holding the radio to enjoy the cool air, and she never feels bored.

Zhao Xiaoyue seemed to have lost her soul for several days, just like now. An Hongdou watched her wipe the coffee table in the living room four or five times.

Seeing her washing the rag and about to wipe it again, An Hongdou quickly stopped her and asked, "Xiaoyue, has something happened to you? Why have you been absent-minded these days?"

Originally, An Hongdou should have called her sister-in-law, but Xiaoyue was one year younger than her, and she used to call her Sister Hongdou, so it felt awkward to call her that, so they just called each other by their own names.

Zhao Xiaoyue finally reacted, threw the rag into the basin and sighed, "Hongdou, I was just about to tell you, why don't you stop paying me in the future? You are staying at home with nothing to do, and Dabao and the others have all gone to kindergarten. We are all so idle, and I always feel like something is missing."

In the past, she felt at ease receiving her salary, but now she has to cook for herself, and sometimes An Hongdou and Old Lady An help out together. The family really doesn't need her, so she feels uneasy receiving her salary.

"That's true. Without three children in the family, it feels like so much is missing. I don't know what to do all day." An Hongdou also sighed.

An Hongdou also took this matter to heart and started to think about it.

At night, she discussed with Shen Xiangzhi, “Hey, what do you think if I start a small business with Xiaoyue?”

Chen Xiangzhi's eyes lit up, he glanced at her and said, "It's not impossible, but we have to keep a low profile for the time being. Now the higher-ups have started talking about economic issues, and they should start a pilot program in the south. We have to wait and see."
