A man in a suit came out.

Upon seeing Wenren Chen, Zhou Yi immediately picked up the little one and went over to him, saying, "Sir."

The little one had already spotted Wenren Chen, and nestled in Zhou Yi's arms, he held a small rattle and babbled at Wenren Chen, "Ya ya~ ya ya~".

No longer in casual loungewear, but in a formal suit, he exudes an extremely strong aura.

Aloof and indifferent, silently controlling everything.

However, as the person in his line of sight appeared, his aura changed.

He stopped outside the door and watched the person holding the child and smiling at him approach.

"Sir, are you going to work?" Zhou Yi asked as he approached Wenren Chen.

"Ah."

With a smile, she said, "Then you go to work, Aunt Dong and I will take good care of Yuyu."

After saying that, he said to the little one in his arms, "Yuyu, Daddy's going to work now. Let's say goodbye to Daddy~"

As she spoke, Zhou Yi picked up the little guy's hand holding the small rattle and waved it at Wenren Chen.

The little guy looked at Wenren Chen with great joy, his little hands swaying along with Zhou Yi's movements, the little rattle making a crisp sound.

Wenren Chen looked at the person whose eyes were almost invisible as he grinned, and after a few breaths, said to the gentle-faced person, "I won't be back for lunch."

Hearing this, Zhou Yi was taken aback for a moment, then, as if remembering something, said, "Sir, did you come back with the master and mistress this afternoon?"

Since this is the first time the master and mistress have come here, the master should go to pick them up.

The master and mistress should arrive in Shancheng around noon. They can have lunch and rest there before coming to the county town in the afternoon.

By then, the gentleman should be almost done with his work, and he will return with the master and mistress.

"Ah."

"Then... shall I cook dinner for you and the master and mistress tonight?"

After saying that, Zhou Yi smiled shyly and said, "You said my cooking is delicious. I thought that since the master and madam are here, they should try the local dishes of Yu'an County. I can cook for them."

It was only because her husband said her cooking was delicious last night that she dared to say such a thing now.

In the past, Zhou Yi would not have said that.

His eyes moved, and the depth within them was like ink spreading, something spreading out.

"It's going to be hard."

Zhou Yi's eyes lit up.

The gentleman meant it would be hard work, not that he was refusing. Zhou Yi smiled instantly and shook her head: "It's not hard work, it's just cooking, it's not hard work, it's fine."

"I want the elderly couple to try our local cuisine. I'm a local, and I know how to cook."

The master and mistress are very kind, and the gentleman is even better. Now that they are here, she wants to treat them well.

Wenren Chen gazed at that sincere face, the genuine look in her large eyes, and said, "Tell the driver what you need, and he'll bring it back."

Zhou Yi paused, then said, "Okay, sir."

Her face was full of smiles, all of which showed her satisfaction.

The little one, nestled in Zhou Yi's arms, held a small rattle and looked at the two of them, a wide smile spreading across his face.

Wenren Chen left, and Zhou Yi and Aunt Dong stayed at the hotel with the little one.

Zhou Yi originally wanted the little one to video chat with the old lady so that the two elders could see Yu Yu, but when Aunt Dong called, the old lady said she wouldn't watch.

She doesn't want to see her beloved grandson on her phone; she wants to see him in person.

So after breakfast, Zhou Yi played with the little one while Aunt Dong and the waiter tidied up the suite.

“Miss Zhou, once I’ve finished getting ready, go to the hospital to see your grandmother. I’ll stay at the hotel with the young master until you come back at noon, then I’ll take care of him.”

Aunt Dong said to Zhou Yi while helping the waiter tidy up.

Zhou Yi was holding the little one in front of the French window, looking at the scenery outside. Hearing Aunt Dong's words, she turned around and said, "Aunt Dong, I'll go to the hospital after Yu Yu falls asleep."

Aunt Dong smiled and said, "That's good, the young master will be back after a nap."

"Yes, but I might have to trouble you a bit this afternoon, Aunt Dong."

Hearing Zhou Yi's words, Aunt Dong stopped what she was doing: "Is it too much work?"

"What's wrong, Miss Zhou? Is something the matter?"

Zhou Yi smiled and said, "When my husband left this morning, I told him that I would cook dinner here, and make some local dishes for him and his wife to try."

Aunt Dong asked in surprise, "Miss Zhou, you know how to do this?"

Aunt Dong always thought Zhou Yi couldn't do it.

Even if I knew how, it would only be simple, not complicated.

The master and mistress are not ordinary people. They have come all this way, so how can they accept simple dishes?

Zhou Yi understood what Aunt Dong meant and said with a smile, "Yes."

"I can cook any dish, big or small, steamed, boiled, stewed, or stir-fried."

After she finished speaking, a warm feeling welled up in her eyes: "My grandma is a great cook. Whenever there's a banquet in the town or village, they'll ask my grandma to cook. I've been helping her since I was little, so I can cook."

When families hold celebrations or banquets, they need to hire cooks and pay them. Grandma would get paid for each meal she cooked, and she would go with her to help out, so Grandma could have a little more peace of mind.

So she watched her grandmother do it since she was little, and she can do it too.

Hearing Zhou Yi say this, Aunt Dong immediately understood, and her eyes filled with heartache: "Miss Zhou, you are really amazing, you can do everything."

Zhou Yi shook his head: "It's not impressive, these are just the basics."

Cooking, laundry, tidying up the house—diligence and hard work are the most basic things.

Grandma said she didn't ask her to earn a lot of money or be very capable; she only hoped that her daughter would be healthy and able to support herself with her own hands, and that would be enough.

Therefore, as long as she has all four limbs intact and is in good health, she can simply do these basic things well.

Grandma never expected her to be outstanding.

She has always followed her grandmother's advice to do these basic things well, and now she earns a living with her own hands.

She did it.

"Well, even though this is the most basic thing, not everyone knows how to do it."

"In my heart, Miss Zhou, you are still very capable."

Zhou Yi felt a little embarrassed by what Aunt Dong said and said with a smile, "No, no."

"Aunt Dong, after Yuyu falls asleep, I'll go to the hospital to see Grandma, and then I'll stop by the supermarket to buy groceries for dinner."

"This might take a while, so I'll have to trouble Aunt Dong to take care of Yu Yu for an extended period of time."

"It's alright. I'll take care of the young master. Miss Zhou, you go about your business and don't worry."

"it is good."

As they were talking, Zhou Yi suddenly remembered something and asked, "Aunt Dong, do you know what the master and madam like? Are there any dietary restrictions?"

Zhou Yi didn't ask her husband about this. He was about to go to work, so she thought she should ask Aunt Dong, who should know.

When Aunt Dong heard Zhou Yi's words, she said, "I'm not sure about that, but Aunt Qi knows. I'll call Aunt Qi and ask."

Qi Ma was a very close person to the old lady, and she knew very well what the old lady and master liked and disliked.

Zhou Yi smiled and said, "Okay, Aunt Dong, could you please call Qi Ma later and ask her? That way, I won't buy some things when I go to the supermarket."

"No problem, I'll get ready here and start the call right away, it'll be quick."

"it is good."

Zhou Yi played with the little one, who happily played in her arms, sometimes looking outside and babbling, sometimes playing with toys and babbling with Zhou Yi.

He was in high spirits, his little face full of smiles, which made Zhou Yi unable to resist taking out her phone to take a few close-up photos of the little guy.

After taking the photo, she sent it to Aunt Dong.

Aunt Dong couldn't help but laugh when she saw the wide-open eyes staring at the camera in the photos, or the eyes that were so big they were almost invisible from laughing.

“I sent this photo to the old lady, and she will definitely be very happy to see it.”

Zhou Yi said, "I'll shoot some more short videos and send them to you later. Aunt Dong, you can send them to the old lady."

"Okay, Ms. Zhou."

Soon, Aunt Dong sent the photos that Zhou Yi had sent her to Sheng Mingying.

After sending the photos, she called Qi's mother.
