Chapter 1180: Chapter 1180: Thoughts
Hai Yan smiled, "Alright, I will definitely work hard."
"Work hard, I’ve arranged a really good job for you."
"Okay, big brother, don’t worry."
Zhang Xinhua looked at the girl’s happy smile, and he also had a satisfied smile on his face.
"Go to sleep."
Listening to the steady breathing of the girl next to him, Zhang Xinhua finally turned over again to look at the girl.
She sleeps properly, lying flat and straight.
Zhang Xinhua didn’t know what kind of expression the girl would have when he expressed his thoughts in the future?
Also, if they were to be together in the future, the girl would definitely be criticized by others, which he did not want to see.
Even now, Zhang Xinhua hadn’t abandoned his high school textbooks, just thinking that if the girl studied well, he would give up work and take the college entrance exam with her, in which case the two of them would leave here.
Working at the power plant is just a last resort, going to school is still the best.
At this time, Minghua’s thigh from behind had already landed on him.
These two kids sleep as if they are practicing martial arts in their sleep. Helplessly, he turned around and pushed him to the side, covering him with a quilt.
Half asleep, he also fell asleep. In the middle of the night, he was awakened again, moved the little brother aside, and found himself sleeping next to the girl. He had just been on her pillow, which made him a little excited. Thinking to himself, even if he were to be awakened by a fall, he would be willing.
Smelling the fragrance of the young girl, it was hard to hold back, but in the end, he didn’t move at all. It’s not the right time. I have to wait for the girl to grow up. Soon, just a few more years.
The next day, Hai Yan opened her eyes and felt her face itch a bit. She reached out and touched it, feeling a head.
She was startled, opened her eyes, and saw her big brother and herself lying on the same pillow. The little brother had already moved into the big brother’s quilt.
Really, sleeping with them is too exhausting, luckily the little brother didn’t lean against her, his sudden leg landing on one is enough to startle someone awake too.
Slowly getting up, she saw that the big brother had hardly covered himself with a quilt, so she covered him with her own quilt. Then she got out of bed to start the fire and make breakfast.
Zhang Xinhua had already woken up after the girl awakened, feeling the girl’s movements, and a smile appeared on his lips.
When the girl left, he moved into her quilt. Comfortably lying down, he decided not to get up today and laze in bed.
Hai Yan started the fire, poured the water from the thermos to wash up, and filled it with boiling water.
There were more than twenty dumplings left from last night, so she’d make porridge for breakfast.
She took a winter melon, cut it into small pieces, and placed it in the pot to cook.
Big brother doesn’t like pickled vegetables, so for breakfast, it’s stir-fried cabbage with some frozen tofu added.
An hour later, the meal was ready. She went into the room to call them to get up for breakfast.
Minghua, seeing himself already in the big brother’s quilt, didn’t feel embarrassed. Smiling, he got up and got dressed.
After breakfast, they started tidying up. In fact, it was tidied up more than ten days ago, so today’s tidying was quick.
For lunch, they had baked corn cakes, potato stew with meat, and bean vermicelli.
After being full, Zhang Xinhua gave the two young ones two hours to go out and play.
He stayed home to tutor the girl’s studies.
From childhood to now, he had taught her, and the girl’s foundation was also particularly good, considering the state she was in. The girl would have no problem going to high school.
He still needed to continue working hard. He had already found out that he too could take the exam.
He was unwilling to give up his job. He kept working hard, planning to take the exam together when the time came. If they both passed, he would resign. If one of them didn’t pass, they would still have to continue working.
When the two young ones came back, they started doing homework and studying too. Knowing they’d be going to the market tomorrow, they had to finish tomorrow’s homework today to play with a clear conscience.
For dinner, they had hand-pulled noodles, made by Zhang Xinhua. Being an adult man, he had strong hands, and the noodles he rolled out were more chewy.
The night’s sleep was still the same, Zhang Xinhua was in a mix of excitement and distress.
On the 29th, the four of them went to the market. Zhang Xinhua bought them the snacks they wanted, and also bought a portion for the girl.
Today, there was lamb for sale; he sold five pounds of it, also bought ten pounds of fat, and five pounds of meat.
He also bought some cabbage; he really didn’t like sauerkraut.
And snacks, peanuts, and sunflower seeds, he bought some too.
The two young ones were extremely excited; today was a day-long market, so there was no rush, and he even treated them to lunch outside.
"Big brother, the food here isn’t as good as at home, really a waste of money."
Zhang Xinhua just laughed. If he didn’t let them try, they would always think restaurant food was better.
It’s better to let them try it themselves to give up the idea.
In the afternoon, he sold quite a few things; seeing someone selling spinach, Zhang Xinhua, feeling a little heartache, still bought a bundle.
"Tomorrow night we’ll use spinach with shrimp skin and eggs to make dumplings."
After eating cabbage and sauerkraut for several months, seeing the green spinach, the kids were, of course, happy.
"Big brother, how many eggs are there at home?"
"It’s okay, go ahead and eat. Once it’s eaten, you won’t keep thinking about it." He said, smiling, glancing at the two young ones.
The two of them didn’t feel embarrassed either, just giggled. It was after two o’clock when they arrived home.
At noon on the 30th, they had vermicelli stewed with meat and steamed buns.
The two ate a lot, and no one controlled them, so they ate to their heart’s content.
Zhang Xinhua gave the girl some more meat.
"Big brother, I can do it myself."
Zhang Xinhua knew the girl didn’t want to eat, just smiled and gave it to her.
When making dumplings in the evening, the two young ones ate too much again.
"If only we could live like this every day."
Hai Yan listened to her younger brothers’ sighs and smiled.
On the first day, their uncle-in-law came over to give them two pounds of meat so they could make dumplings.
On the fifth night, they had spinach dumplings again, Zhang Xinhua thought their parents would return today, but it turned out that they still didn’t.
Today’s weather was particularly cloudy, probably going to snow. On the sixth, Zhang Xinhua went to work, and the siblings stayed at home to study.
It wasn’t until the evening of the seventh that their parents returned.
Su Yuanyuan began work on the sixth, with a fresh start to the new year, and even added dishes for everyone at lunch.
That day they had lunch together again.
"Xiao Su, you seem to be in better spirits." Xu Guozhi joked.
"Not bad, our family is together and happy."
"I envy you."
Su Yuanyuan didn’t respond to this, not sure what to say.
He Yuanhao was still as silent as ever; after the meal, he suddenly spoke, "The person I sent to investigate came back, and indeed, found nothing."
Su Yuanyuan shrugged, "Perhaps I’m just overthinking it." What other explanation could there be?
Everyone here knew, and Zeng Zhenqing spoke, "The more it’s like this, the more it proves it’s not simple."
