Siheyuan: A warm home with wife and children

"Eat slowly, no one's going to take it from you." Seeing him wolfing down his food, Yang Jianguo wasn't in a hurry to ask any questions.

"You don't know, I'm so hungry!" The chubby boy took a big bite of the steamed bun and then shoveled leftover food into his mouth.

He loved both the large slices of meat and the oily vegetable soup.

The chubby boy had money, but the problem was he didn't have any tickets.

The quota was all in his aunt's hands, and he was a soft-hearted person who was easily bullied.

They wouldn't even talk back when someone pointed their finger at them and cursed them, let alone try to get their quota tickets back from them.

Like an ostrich, they want to bury their heads in the ground and find peace of mind out of sight, out of mind!

After enjoying a hearty meal with meat and steamed buns, the chubby boy took a basin and asked for some water.

He diluted the remaining broth at the bottom of the bowl with water and gulped it down, exclaiming, "Eh, ah~"

With a sigh of relief, the chubby boy placed the bowl on the edge of the counter. "Thank you, chef, this dish is delicious."

His praise made even the kitchen helper feel embarrassed.

It's just leftovers from the daytime mixed together, with a spoonful of water added and heated up.

Judging from his tone, it sounded like he was talking about the finest delicacies.

After eating and drinking his fill, the chubby boy returned.

"I am full?"

"full."

"Come on, let's go to the office and talk."

I poured him a cup of tea, and the chubby boy sat awkwardly on the sofa.

Now he finally realized that the person who had saved him seemed to be a high-ranking leader!

"Tell me, where did you learn your skills in tinkering with electronics?"

Upon hearing Yang Jianguo's question, the chubby guy, who already regarded him as a big leader, immediately straightened his back.

"Reporting to the commander, I taught myself. I've loved tinkering with these things since I was a child, and I learned by taking them apart."

Seeing his nervous expression, Yang Jianguo's eyes showed a hint of surprise.

You'll learn it by taking it apart and putting it back together?!

If this is true, then this chubby kid is a rare talent, born to deal with machines.

But Yang Jianguo was somewhat skeptical of what he said. We'll have to try it to find out if it's true or not.

True gold fears no fire!

Chapter 328 Unintentional Words, Yingzi's Heart is in Turmoil

Xiao Pang asked Yang Jianguo to arrange for him to stay in the company dormitory for the time being.

As for his self-taught abilities, they were more impressive than Yang Jianguo had imagined, but you could also say they weren't quite that impressive.

He initially didn't believe that Little Fatty could really do it.

But he did it, and he did it even better than he thought.

However, compared to the geniuses Yang Jianguo envisioned, those who could learn anything instantly, there is a significant gap.

However, this chubby little boy seems more real.

When he got home, Yang Jianguo told his wife about it.

Seeing how happy he was, Yingzi casually asked, "Look how happy you are. Can he be more capable than you?"

Seeing her husband standing there speechless, Yingzi chuckled and said, "Aren't you self-taught?"

Goodness, this is so embarrassing!

So, all this time, in my wife's eyes, I was subtly praising myself!

“I plan to entrust this child to Master Huo’s care. If he behaves well in the future, I will take some time to take care of him myself.”

"Then whose apprentice is he?" Yingzi pressed.

These days, apprentices should be able to distinguish right from wrong, lest this matter cause further unpleasantness between them.

"It's not that bad. The apprentice is his, so I'm just helping to mentor him." Yang Jianguo doesn't have that much time to devote to the front lines right now.

He's busy with administrative work alone, and with Loongson Technology alone. "By the way, you have to come with me next month."

"Where are we going?" Yingzi sat down next to him and prepared the water for washing his feet.

Yang Jianguo soaked his feet and said with a satisfied expression, "Jiangdao, I have to go over there and get all the equipment set up."

In addition to debugging equipment, conducting acceptance tests, and exchanging information, Yang Jianguo also had to go there and bring back the technology.

The equipment that Louji Electric imported this time is the world's top-of-the-line product.

No matter how much Lou Xiao'e pulls strings, Dong Qian will never be able to cross the sea.

The only option is for Yang Jianguo to go there and bring the data back.

"Jiangdao!" Yingzi repeated it several times, then looked up and smiled, "How long will it take you to get there?"

"Once the company's production is back on track in one to two weeks, we'll spend another day or two sightseeing before heading back."

"But the child is about to have exams and then go on holiday."

"Let's take it with us. We can visit Jiangdao before we leave."

Yang Jianguo spoke casually, and Yingzi's heart relaxed as well.

Jiangdao, there's someone waiting for him there!

Yingzi knew why Lou Xiao'e hadn't married all these years, but she didn't dare or want to think about it too deeply.

On this trip, the Lou family will definitely be the ones receiving us.

Yingzi felt awkward no matter how she thought about it. "Jianguo, I'd better not go. You go by yourself!"

Hearing this, Yang Jianguo chuckled and said, "Aren't you afraid that I'll be blinded by the allure of this world and never come back?"

"Are you willing to?"

Yingzi took the towel and picked up the basin, saying, "What you have in your heart is more important than romantic love or the glitz and glamour of the world."

“Even without me and without the children, you still wouldn’t be able to bear it.” Yingzi turned and left.

Yang Jianguo was stunned by what she said. Was this really what he was thinking?

Looking at himself honestly, Yang Jianguo couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Yingzi, how come I never realized before that you understand my thoughts better than I understand myself?"

Yingzi, who had come back inside, tidied up Dongxi, then sat down next to him with a smile, leaning her head on his shoulder.

"Because your string is in my hand, it can't fly away." The open palm is full of the marks of life's years.

Touching the calluses on her fingertips, Yang Jianguo said with deep emotion, "Thank you for your hard work, Yingzi."

He raised his head and Yingzi rolled her eyes at him: "What are you talking about? People are so envious of my good life."

"The young wife who missed it is crying her eyes out inside the house."

She raised an eyebrow playfully and gave him a charming glance: "This is what you call hard work? How are other people supposed to live?"

Seeing the allure in her posture, Yang Jianguo no longer cared about anything else.

"Turn off the lights."

pat~

The light cord broke. Yang Jianguo, who had just gotten up, glanced at the cord in his hand and shook his head helplessly: "It's better to keep a low profile. If you show off like this, even God won't stand it."

Yingzi, who had just woken up, was smiling by the stove. Her face was radiant, and she looked as if she had become five or six years younger.

"Mom, you look great today. Did Dad buy you something new again?"

When Zhiyi came over, she noticed that her mother's complexion was different from usual.

I thought to myself, 'She must have bought me some cosmetics again, and she's using them secretly, even hiding them from my daughter.'

"Go away, what's so good about it that I won't give it to you!" Yingzi laughed and slapped her.

Then, pointing to the drawer, he said, "Just say you want it, and pick it yourself."

Zhiyi, who was covering her arm with her hand, rushed to her side and happily exclaimed, "Thank you, Mom! You're the best, Mom!"

Her mother coaxed her into a smile, and Zhiyi sat happily at the table, opening the cabinet to pick out products.

Clam oil, face cream, moisturizing cream, and lipsticks brought back from Jiangdao Island—Western skincare products.

These Yingzi bottles are all kept in the cabinet, unopened.

Zhiyi had been asking for it for quite some time, and when she saw it again today, she couldn't resist asking, "Mom, can I have a lipstick?"

"Sure, you can't use paint at school. You can use it after you take a break on Sunday," Yingzi said without turning her head as she stir-fried the pickled vegetables with a spatula.

Stir-fry the pickled vegetables in oil, then add some green peppers for extra flavor.

Hey, that's amazing!

"Okay." Zhiyi nodded in agreement and decisively put the CD lipstick into her pocket.

Christine Dior, Zhiyi memorized the name.

When she goes abroad in the future, she will buy products from this brand; they are so beautiful.

"That's not cheap, I'm afraid you won't be able to afford it," Yang Jianguo said with a smile.

"Not cheap?" Zhiyi took out a lipstick from her pocket and asked, "Dad, how much does this cost?"

Yang Jianguo glanced at his wife and laughed, "This lipstick alone must cost sixty or seventy yuan."

swoosh~

Zhiyi felt a lightness in her hand and only saw a dark shadow 'whoosh' past and back in front of her.

The lipstick in my hand is gone.

Holding the lipstick, Yingzi asked in surprise, "This one, only sixty or seventy yuan?"

Yang Jianguo just nodded, looking at his daughter's dejected appearance, he felt no pity, but rather wanted to laugh.

"No, you can't use this. Put it away first." Yingzi said, putting it back.

After sitting down again, seeing her dejected expression, he continued, "Then leave it for when you're older."

"How can such an expensive thing be used on a child? What will become of him in the future?"

Expensive and high-quality items have become necessities for daily consumption.

Naturally, this perception changed.

Today I feel like 50 cents is a treasure, but tomorrow 70 or 80 cents won't be a problem, and I won't feel bad spending it.

By then, even the wealthiest families won't be able to sustain themselves.

This is such a waste of money!

"Don't bring it in the future. Give it to her when she leaves. You never know when she might need it."

Zhiyi's worried expression turned to relief, and she happily took his arm, saying with a smile, "Thank you, Dad. You're the best to me."

"That little devil, her mouth is all sweet talk." Yingzi laughed and scolded, and the breakfast was a lively affair.

When Yang Jianguo left, Zhiyi had already taken her precious lipstick back from her mother's hand: "I definitely won't use it recklessly."

"If you neglect your studies, I'll give you a good beating when we get back," Yingzi reminded her, reminding her not to forget what she was there to do.

"Hehe, then I won't be coming back." Jokingly sticking out her tongue, Zhiyi happily ran towards the door.

Little did they know that Yingzi's flamboyant smile inside the room would freeze in an instant.

No, he's not coming back?

She had never considered this situation before, and Yingzi panicked when Zhiyi brought it up.

What if she really doesn't come back?

What am I going to do? My daughter is gone, am I going to have to find a foreigner?
