Three points are destined, seven points depend on face

"I'll be here in two days. It's been a hard journey, so you should have a good rest at home for two days."

Ling Zhiyi nodded reluctantly, "Okay then, be sure to take me with you when you come over."

Ling Zhiyi has never been so close to anyone since she was a child. Although her brother cared for her a lot, it was not common after all, and she had no one to talk to about many of her worries.

Although Sister Xia grew up in the countryside, she is quite knowledgeable. Being with her, whether it was eating, drinking, having fun, or doing business, was an eye-opener for her. Sister Xia is a broad-minded person, and I am always very happy to be with her.

If Sister Xia really can be her sister-in-law, my brother will definitely be very happy.

In the past few months in the villa, no matter where Xia Chuntao went, the little girl Zhiyi followed her. She was even more attached to Xia Chuntao than Niu Niu. Xia Chuntao is also happy that the little girl clings to her. At least it proves that she still has a very charming personality, right?

Xia Chuntao agreed with a smile and returned to Daxi Village with a large group of people. After receiving the news, everyone came to greet them.

"Chuntao, you've been gone for too long this time. Why don't you want to come back?" Li Yuee held Xia Chuntao's arm and said angrily.

Xia Chuntao chuckled, "How can I? This is my hometown. Where else can I go back if I don't go back here."

Mother Shuanzi asked Xia Chuntao: "Chuntao, my wife didn't come back with you this time?"

Xia Chuntao nodded, "Daddy Shuanzi helped me a lot this time. There are still some projects over there that need him, and he may have to stay for a while. By the way, she asked me to bring his wages back to you. I’ll bring it to you when I get back later.”

"Hey, he's not paid for his wages. He hasn't even used up the money you gave him last time."

Before going to Rongcheng, she gave Shuanzi's father a sum of money and asked him to try making toilets, U-shaped pipes and sealed bottle caps. Father Shuanzi is indeed an inventor. In just two months, he successfully made a toilet and a U-shaped pipe. Now the restaurant in the villa comes in handy.

"That's the cost of his research and development. I still have to pay him the wages. But I won't settle it on a monthly basis with you. From now on, if Dad Shuanzi makes a practical object that I need, I will give him a one-time wage for that object. .”

Mother Shuanzi was stunned, "How can I give you this?"

Xia Chuntao patted Shuanzi Niang's hand and said, "Come to my house in the afternoon and I will tell you."

Zhang Li Zhang learned that Mr. Yan was going to live in a school on the mountain, and had already arranged for two old aunts to be responsible for cooking and housework for Mr. Yan. So, everyone sent Mr. Yan up the mountain together.

After the school on the mountain was built, it was the first time for everyone to come up.

It used to be a smooth road, but high walls have been built. There are courtyards inside, spacious and bright schools, neat and clean dormitories, and a three-story bookstore rising behind the courtyard. Because it is built on a mountain, it looks even more majestic and heavy.

In the courtyard where the gentlemen live, in addition to bedrooms, halls, study rooms, guest rooms, small kitchens, etc., everything is available. Each courtyard has its own characteristics. Some have winding paths, quite elegance of the south of the Yangtze River; some are connected by cloisters, like other courtyards common in the capital...

Mr. Yan chose a courtyard with cloisters everywhere. It was very clean inside, and the two aunts were making lunch in the small kitchen.

Xia Chuntao looked really good, so she felt relieved.

Then, take the girls and children to the dormitories reserved for students in the front yard and let them settle down temporarily.

"Don't worry, rest here for two days first, we will be busy later!"

The girls responded and took the children to pack their belongings.

There was a girl who stood there with a child in hand and looked at Xia Chuntao anxiously. Xia Chuntao knew her, the girl who knew how to make pastries.

"Your name is Xiaocui, right? What's the matter with you?"

Xiao Cui looked at the child she was holding. The child's little hand was holding her tightly, as if she was afraid that Xiao Cui would no longer want him.

Xiaocui mustered up the courage to say to Xia Chuntao: "Ms. Xia, I...can you let me take care of Xiao Maotou all the time?"

"what do you mean……"

"I...I want to adopt Xiao Maotou. You know my situation. This life...is just like this. I have been taking care of Xiao Maotou during this period. He is a very good child. I...I also want to have it when I grow old. A reliance."

Xia Chuntao understood what Xiao Cui meant, but she still reminded her kindly: "Have you ever thought about what you would do if Xiao Maotou's family came to find you one day?"

Xiaocui looked at Xia Chuntao blankly, she had never thought about this. I just feel that I am very close to this kid Xiao Maotou.

At first, it was just the owner's request to take care of the child, but later, the little Maotou became more and more attached to her, and she took care of her wholeheartedly. Every time she cooks something delicious in the small kitchen, she first thinks of giving it to the child. Although Xiao Maotou is only over two years old, he also knows who is good to him, and he also likes Aunt Xiao Cui.

Xiao Maotou raised his head and said to Xia Chuntao: "Auntie the owner, I like Auntie Xiaocui, I can sweep the floor, I can feed the chickens, and I will protect Auntie Xiaocui when I grow up. Auntie the owner, Don’t…don’t let Aunt Xiaocui go, okay?”

As he spoke, the little boy's big eyes were filled with tears, and his little hands were picking at the hem of Xiao Cui's clothes, for fear that Xiao Cui would ignore him.

Xiaocui's tears suddenly flowed down, and she cried while hugging her little Maotou.

Xia Chuntao sighed and said to Xiao Cui: "If you decide, I will ask someone to register for you and Xiao Maotou."

Xiaocui was overjoyed and kowtowed to Xia Chuntao with her little hair.

Xia Chuntao said: "Xiao Maotou will be your son from now on. Since you agreed to raise Xiao Maotou, you must raise the child well and treat him well, but don't spoil him. For his sake, but also for yourself."

Xiao Cui responded with a smile. When Xiao Maotou saw Xiao Cui smile, he also laughed.

Xia Chuntao didn't know if this was the right thing to do, and no one knew what would happen in the future. But now, they have become a mother and son who depend on each other.

With someone you care about, do you have more courage and motivation to go on?

In the afternoon, Shuanzi Niang came to Xia Chuntao's house as promised. Xia Chuntao handed her two silver notes, one hundred taels and one two hundred taels. Shuanzi Niang was startled.

"This...all this money was earned by his father?"

Xia Chuntao saw that Ms. Shuanzi didn't dare to accept it, so she slapped the banknote into her hand.

"Don't worry, keep it. These two payments are the reward for Shuanzi's help in research and development. I have already told him, and he knows it."

Shuanzi's mother was relieved when she heard that the child's father knew about this. Seeing so much money, she still couldn't believe it, "Can the gadgets made by my father be worth so much?"

Xia Chuntao said: "I don't know about other people, but here, these items are worth so much."

Shuanzi Niang glanced at Xia Chuntao hesitantly, "Chuntao, you didn't mean to subsidize us, did you? In fact, we are living very well now. We bought land, and we also have dividends from the workshop and 'Jinshiju'. It's really quite a lot... …”
