I awakened the cultivation panel.

If Chapter 82 were useful, ordinary people wouldn't even be able to get through the door!

Li Shiming was worried that her colleague Ye Huiling might gossip about it everywhere.

"However, as far as I know, Sister Ling is not the kind of person who likes to gossip behind people's backs. She is usually quite friendly, although she sometimes plays the role of a funny woman and likes to gossip."

The thought of eating melon seeds immediately made her face fall.

Now look what's happened, I've become the one who got the blame.

If you really succeed, it doesn't matter if you tell others; you might even feel a little proud.

The problem is that she and Chen Jingle aren't in that kind of relationship right now.

If it doesn't work out in the end, wouldn't that be incredibly embarrassing?

At the same time, I felt a little regretful that I was too slow to react and didn't know how to refute it, I was just too shy.

Thinking about it now still makes me blush.

After thinking for a long time, she patted her forehead and said, "Forget it, it's all in the past. There's no use regretting it now. It will only make me more upset."

It's better to go with the flow.

If you're in a hurry, you might scare others.

Another thing is that she has to go back to have dinner with her parents that night, so she can't show anything unusual.

Although my parents are usually very busy, I bought another house to live in alone for the convenience of my work. It's very comfortable, but I can't just think about my own comfort and ignore my parents' feelings.

I still need to spend some time each week going back to have a meal together and chat with my parents.

……

Yulong Mountain Villa Area, Building 8.

Li Shiming drove her wicked glutinous corn car slowly into her garage.

Compared to the other cars in the garage, hers is nothing, but it's a good choice for daily commuting, and it won't stand out too much among the many teachers' cars at the school.

Weighing only 930 kilograms, this car boasts a terrifying 48 horsepower and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 6.2 seconds!
Isn't this better than Nissan's performance monster?
"Shiming is back?"

The housekeeper, Wang Xiulian, was pruning potted plants when she saw her little cart return. She put down her tools and waited for her, smiling as she asked, "Have you eaten yet? Sister Qiong asked me to save some food for you. I'll heat it up if you want."

Li Shiming smiled and waved her hand, "No need, Aunt Wang, I just ate out with friends. You can go about your business."

"Okay~"

Although Wang Xiulian was only responsible for cooking, Li Shiming's family paid her a high salary and was very approachable. They also provided her with a separate room. Since she was usually idle, she would help with cleaning or tending to the flowers and plants in the garden.

They basically consider this a second home.

"I'm back!"

Li Shiming pushed open the door and entered the house, where she saw her parents sitting on the mahogany sofa in the living room, playing on their phones.

His father, Li Yuan, was resting his head on his mother, Liu Qiong's, lap; the couple looked very comfortable.

Li Shiming immediately put her hands on her hips and scolded, "All you do all day is lie there playing on your phone, do you even care about your eyes? You should learn from Uncle Liang and Aunt Zhang next door, they're over seventy and still insist on reading books and newspapers to learn new knowledge."

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan didn't even lift his eyelids, just chuckled softly and remained silent.

After a hard week of work, can't I even take a break?

Liu Qiong glanced at her sideways: "Doesn't it need a beating?"

Li Shiming was not intimidated at all: "You still have the nerve to talk back? You can't even stand being told a few words?"

Li Yuan sensed that it was almost time and sat up on his own. Liu Qiong immediately picked up the feather duster next to him.

"I was just kidding, Mom. Why are you taking it so seriously?"

Li Shiming quickly slipped behind the chair, feigning ignorance with a chuckle. Liu Qiong sneered, put down the feather duster, and Li Yuan lay back down, their movements perfectly coordinated.

Li Shiming couldn't bear to look at the two of them, so she pouted, reached out and picked a few grapes, stuffed them into her mouth, and prepared to go upstairs.

At this moment, Liu Qiong spoke up: "You didn't play games until three or four in the morning again last night, and didn't get up until noon, did you?"

"No, I just went shopping with friends this morning and had lunch there." Li Shiming blinked.

"Eating out again? If you really don't want to cook, you could just hire a housekeeper to come to your home and cook for you every day." Liu Qiong frowned.

Li Shiming immediately retorted, "Oh, Mom, I have eyes! I can tell if a place is clean or not. I'll definitely go to a clean and reputable shop. I would never go to a dirty place."

She had previously been admitted to the emergency room in the middle of the night with acute gastroenteritis after eating unclean food outside, and had to receive intravenous drips for two days.

As a result, her parents had a lot of opinions about her eating out frequently, and at one point they strictly forbade her from eating at restaurants outside.

If there's a particular dish or cuisine you really like, you can ask Aunt Wang to make it. If Aunt Wang can't learn it, then you can hire a professional chef.

There's no need to eat out.

The older generation of Jiangbei people have the impression that restaurants outside the city use all kinds of MSG and seasonings without restraint, which is unhealthy!

The food is not handled properly, and hygiene cannot be guaranteed. In short, try to avoid eating out if possible.

Even if you're going to eat there, try to choose restaurants with transparent kitchens.

Having star ratings alone is not enough.

However, for Li Shiming, eating out with friends and eating at home are two completely different experiences.

No matter how delicious or varied the food is at home, after a while, it just doesn't feel quite as good as eating out.

It's true that restaurant food is usually heavy on oil and salt, but that's precisely why it tastes good!
As long as it tastes good, that's all that matters; she's only going for the flavor.

Therefore, while Li Shiming outwardly acts like a good girl, she still frequently goes out to explore shops with her friends in private.

Her wish is to create a detailed map of restaurants across the country so that all food lovers can find delicious food and avoid making a bad choice.

They have already shared many restaurant reviews on social media platforms, attracting the attention of many local users and even tourists from other places who come to Jiangbei for tourism.

Although it wasn't anything remarkable, she felt a great sense of accomplishment.

Li Yuan and Liu Qiong had no choice but to turn a blind eye and pretend they didn't see it.

Later, all I could do was tell her that even if she wanted to eat there, she should only eat at restaurants that met hygiene standards.

My only precious daughter. I don't have to dote on her, but I must at least make sure she is safe, healthy, and unharmed.

……

"Oh, right, I have something for you." Liu Qiong picked up the handbag next to her and began rummaging through it.

Li Shiming leaned closer, curious: "What is it?"

Liu Qiong pulled out a laminated yellow triangle talisman and threaded it with red thread: "I got this for you at the Guanyin Temple in the city yesterday."

"What is this?" Li Shiming frowned.

She knew the Guanyin Temple in the city; it was very popular, with many people going to worship there, and it was said to be quite efficacious.

However, as a young person of the new era, she had received a materialistic education from childhood, and in her view, these things were symbols of feudal ignorance and backwardness, and were simply a way to swindle money.

If praying to gods and Buddhas were effective, ordinary people probably wouldn't even be able to get through the door!

　I received the notification to publish the book at the last minute, and I didn't have any drafts saved up, I'm ashamed. Plus, I haven't been feeling well these past few days, so I'll have to wait a couple of days to release a large update to make up for it. Sorry, sorry.
