Chapter 78 Gift
The next day, Jiang Zhao slept until noon.
When I woke up, I saw that I was bombarded with WeChat messages from Yue Liangjie in the morning.
Yue Liangjie: Did you go out with Yanshen?
Yue Liangjie: Did you go to celebrate New Year’s Eve?
Yue Liangjie: Just the two of you?
…
Jiang Zhao replied while brushing his teeth.
Jiang: Just woke up.
They discovered a problem when they came out of Central Street yesterday.
No car.
After twelve o'clock, the streets were full of people who had just finished celebrating the New Year and were waiting for a ride on the side of the road.
The two walked for more than half an hour before they called the first car.
Luo Yan sent her home and then went home himself.
By the time he got home, it was almost two o'clock in the morning.
Yue Liangjie became even more excited when he saw Jiang Zhao's reply.
Yue Liangjie: What time did you go back?
Yue Liangjie: Did he confess to you?
Yue Liangjie: What stage has it reached?
Jiang Zhao was speechless.
Her father didn't ask as many questions as Liang Jie.
She typed a few words.
Jiang: I haven't tarnished your academic god yet.
Yue Liangjie was furious.
Yue Liangjie: Don’t I care about you?
Yue Liangjie: Why didn’t Yanshen confess to you?
Jiang: I don’t know either.
Jiang Zhao complained in his heart that not only would he not confess to me, but one day in the future he might even stand me up.
But she was more curious at the moment:
Jiang: How do you know he likes me?
It would be fine if Chen Bailing could see it, but could Yue Liangjie, who had such a thick filter for Luo Yan, also notice it?
Jiang: Who told you that?
Yue Liangjie didn't reply out of guilt.
After washing up, Jiang Zhao came out of the bathroom.
Zhou Lihua was carrying a pot to the dining table when she saw Jiang Zhao get up. She called out, "Zhao Zhao, are you awake?"
She smiled and said, "I was wondering if I should ask you to eat first."
Jiang Zhao smiled at her and said, "Good afternoon, Aunt Zhou." She looked around and asked, "My dad isn't coming back?"
She remembered Jiang Wei saying that No. 1 would be back.
Zhou Lihua is the nanny that Jiang Wei found for Jiang Zhao.
She is also from Tong'an County.
The more backward a place is, the more likely it is to favor boys over girls. Tong'an County is one of those very backward places.
Zhou Lihua couldn't give birth to a son, so she divorced her husband's family and came to a new city to work hard.
She didn't even finish junior high school and could only do housekeeping and cleaning jobs in the new city.
Jiang Wei's salary was good and his work was easy. Zhou Lihua spoke respectfully of Jiang Wei: "Mr. Jiang said he had something going on at the company and won't be back."
"All right."
Jiang Zhao always felt that ever since Jiang Wei knew that she had a chance to become the top scorer in the provincial exam, he was always determined to make his own company the top scorer in the industry.
She called Jiang Wei.
Jiang Wei was indeed inspecting the newly developed land.
Jiang Zhao said a few words to Jiang Wei and put down his phone. Zhou Lihua had already brought the dishes to the table.
She made it according to the amount for three people. Since it was the first day of the new year, the preparations were very rich. Now that only Jiang Zhao was there, it was a bit too much.
Jiang Zhao said, "Aunt Zhou, let's eat together."
Zhou Lihua waved her hands repeatedly: "How can that be? If you can't finish the leftovers, I'll come and clean up in the afternoon."
"Why not?" Jiang Zhao said, having already gone to the kitchen to get a new set of bowls and chopsticks. "On the first day of the new year, just consider it as having dinner with me, Aunt Zhou."
Zhou Lihua didn't refuse and sat opposite Jiang Zhao.
Jiang Zhao picked up a piece of stewed beef with potatoes with chopsticks.
It's delicious, the beef is stewed till soft.
The salt and pepper shrimp were also delicious, the shrimp shells were crispy.
Zhou Lihua has excellent cooking skills. In order to do her job well, she also studied cooking privately and obtained a nutritionist certificate.
She deserves the high salary Jiang Wei offers her.
Across from her, Zhou Lihua didn't move her chopsticks. She hesitated and said, "Zhao Zhao, can I ask you a question?"
Zhou Lihua likes Jiang Zhao very much.
Jiang Zhao was always polite and courteous to her, and Mr. Jiang said that Jiang Zhao was a good student. Mr. Jiang always smiled when he mentioned Jiang Zhao.
Seeing Jiang Zhao nod, Zhou Lihua said, "Zhao Zhao, I want to bring Niuniu to Mingyuan to study. What do you think?"
Jiang Zhao heard Zhou Lihua mention Niu Niu several times.
After Zhou Lihua divorced, she gave Niu Niu to her grandparents.
She came to the new city alone, holding her breath, just because she wanted her and her daughter to live a good life.
She asked around and found out that Mingyuan No. 1 Middle School has always had good grades.
In addition, while working at Jiang Zhao's house, I liked Jiang Zhao more and more, and felt that school education played an important role.
If I send Niu Niu there, I hope she can become a good student and well-mannered like Jiang Zhao.
Seeing that Jiang Zhao didn't say anything, she said, "Auntie has saved money over the years, and Niuniu is doing well in her studies, but Auntie still wants to hear your opinion. She will be transferred to Xincheng this semester, and Mingyuan still needs to interview parents, so I have to prepare early."
Jiang Zhao: "Auntie Zhou, you shouldn't ask me, you should ask Niuniu."
Zhou Lihua subconsciously retorted: "How old is she? What does she know?"
"At twelve, she already understands a lot of things." Jiang Zhao said patiently, "If you think she doesn't understand, then you should teach her. When the time comes, it will be Niuniu herself who will have to change her environment and go to school."
Zhou Lihua hesitated for a moment, then said, "Okay, Auntie will listen to you. I'll have a good chat with her when I get back."
——————
The last day of New Year’s Day holiday.
Jiang Zhao went back to school for evening self-study. When he walked to the school gate, he happened to meet Luo Yan.
She ran over with a smile: "Good afternoon, deskmate."
"good afternoon."
She saw that Luo Yan actually hung the ugly little yellow man on his schoolbag, and she felt better and shook her bag at him.
Hers also hung on the side of the backpack.
The two arrived at the classroom. Lin Chongyang came early and was doing his homework.
Seeing Jiang Zhao and Luo Yan come in together, Lin Chongyang's eyes suddenly lit up, especially when he saw the same pendant hanging on the schoolbag.
It seems that he has made great progress in his spiritual development.
Lin Chongyang asked knowingly, "Where did you two little yellow men come from?"
Luo Yan: "Loop."
Jiang Zhao added, "Thirty-five rings for fifty yuan. We gave out five and we got two."
It is obvious that neither of them is very good at hooping.
Lin Chongyang mocked: "You can do that, the boss is losing so much that he has to buy a villa."
Jiang Zhao didn't want to pay attention to him, so she put down her schoolbag.
Chen Bailing came into the classroom.
Jiang Zhao took out the earrings she had prepared and said to Chen Bailing, "Happy New Year."
Chen Bailing knew that it was a surprise prepared by Jiang Zhao for her, and she opened the box happily.
When she saw what was inside, her expression froze for a moment and her smile froze on her face.
Lin Chongyang remembered that Jiang Zhao had mentioned giving Chen Bailing a surprise in the group chat, so he asked curiously, "What surprise?"
Chen Bailing didn't say anything. Lin Chongyang went over to take a look and saw the label in the box, which read "9995.4 grams of pure gold".
"Fuck...class representative, are you rich?"
Before he finished speaking, Chen Bailing closed the box with a snap.
