At the beginning, the little koi carp was grabbed by a wolf and became the favorite of the beasts.

The two little guys ate slowly for a long time.

It wasn't until Jinbao couldn't eat anymore that Long Yue carried her back to the shop.

When Mrs. Zhou saw them coming back, she walked to the door with a smile and took Jin Bao over.

"Long Yue, are you tired? Sit down and have a rest and drink some water."

Long Yue shook her head and said obediently: "Thank you, Grandma Zhou, I'm not tired."

Mrs. Zhou looked at it and nodded. This child is so sensible. His parents must be outstanding.

She walked inside with Jinbao in her arms, took out the candied haws she bought, and asked, "Did Jinbao eat anything delicious today?"

“There’s lots and lots of delicious food.”

Jinbao recalled it for a while, gesturing with her fingers, so much so that she forgot the names of the dishes.

"I guess you are greedy, so come and eat a candied haws to satisfy your appetite."

Mrs. Zhou put the candied haws in her hand and rubbed her belly.

Although Jinbao's stomach was full, he still couldn't resist the temptation of the sweet and sour candied haws.

"Long Yue, here it is! This string is yours."

Mrs. Zhou handed another bunch of candied haws to Long Yue.

Long Yue looked at the candied haws, her face flushed.

He quickly waved his hands, "Grandma Zhou, I don't eat this."

He never liked sweets, not to mention that this was only for children.

"Why don't you eat it? Try it. It's delicious."

Mrs. Zhou thought he was being polite and stuffed the candied haws into his hand.

Long Yue looked at the candied haws in a daze, not wanting to eat it or not.

"Longlong eat it, it's delicious!" Jinbao urged when he saw that he still didn't move his mouth.

Looking at Jin Bao's expectant eyes, Long Yue closed her eyes and took a bite.

The veins on his forehead were so sore that he was embarrassed to spit it out, so he had no choice but to swallow it.

"Is it good?" Jin Bao asked inarticulately.

"Delicious..."

Long Yue answered hesitantly, but refused to take a second bite.

When Father Zheng heard the voice, he came over with a smile on his face and gently pinched Jin Bao's fleshy little face.

"Have you eaten enough, my dear?"

Jinbao patted his bulging belly and said with a satisfied look: "I'm full!"

What Longlong ordered were all her favorite dishes, and she was so full.

"As long as you're full, Jinbao will stay here with grandma to guard the shop in the afternoon. We have to go back very late today!" Mrs. Zhou said.

None of them expected that the business would be so prosperous when it just opened today, and they would not be able to sell enough pastries after making so many cakes.

Fortunately, there is a yard in the back. We need to discuss it tonight. I'm afraid someone will have to stay here to guard the store.

Jin Bao nodded obediently. He was full anyway, so he could stay anywhere.

"I'm really troubling you today, Long Yue."

Father Zheng patted Long Yue on the shoulder with a smile in his eyes.

This kid seems to have grown taller.

"Grandpa Zheng, this is what I should do, you don't have to be polite to me."

"Boy, when are you going back today?" Boss Zheng walked over, rubbing his waist and deliberately leaning against Long Yue.

He had been running all day today, but he was exhausted.

"Let's go back together and be a companion on the way. It won't be a problem if we are late." Long Yue supported him with difficulty and replied.

I'm afraid Butler Li at the Yamen will have to deal with it until very late, so we can just go together.

When Father Zheng saw Long Yue's legs shaking, he still stood upright and kicked Father Zheng on the butt.

"Why don't you show off? Long Yue is so young, he can withstand your body."

Boss Zheng pouted at him, walked to the side unconvinced, and sat down on the chair.

……

In this way, the Zheng family returned to the village late at night.

Because it was inconvenient for Li Yun to travel back and forth with her child, she and Zheng Laosan were arranged to stay in the town.

For several days in a row, the Zheng family went out early and came back late, and there was an endless stream of people at the pastry shop.

The disposition of Hong Yan and others was also announced.

Because of Butler Li's intervention, several of them were sentenced to exile.

After Mr. Hong and Mrs. Hong got the news, they agreed to go to the cell to see Hong Yan together as a way to see her off.

After all, after raising her for so many years, I still can't let go completely.

When they walked to the door of the cell where Hong Yan was imprisoned and saw Hong Yan with a dull expression, disheveled hair, and a haggard face, they still felt an unavoidable pain in their hearts.

Mrs. Hong couldn't help shouting: "Yan'er!"

When Hong Yan heard this familiar call, she raised her head sharply, as if she saw a life-saving straw, and quickly ran to the cell door.

She slapped the wooden bars of the cell desperately, and shouted: "Mom and dad, why are you here? This is not a place for people to stay. My daughter has suffered a lot. Please find someone to let me out quickly." I don’t want to stay here, I want to go home.”

She couldn't eat or sleep well these days, and she was tortured by rats every day until she had a nervous breakdown. She couldn't stay any longer.

Mr. Hong put down the food box in his hand. He looked at the daughter he had held in his hand and felt extremely strange.

He sighed softly and said, "Yan'er, Butler Hong has already taken care of everything. Your mother and I are here to see you for the last time. From now on, you can take care of yourself."

After saying that, he felt mixed emotions and couldn't bear to look into Hong Yan's eyes.

"Dad, what do you mean by this?"

Hong Yan's body stiffened, and her hand that was picking up the food box froze. She raised her head and looked at Mr. Hong, a little in disbelief.

"From the moment you drugged us, you should have understood that there is no longer any love between us. From now on, you don't have to call us dad and mom."

Mr. Hong said it directly without any mercy. She had been favored all these years and they had never wronged her.

They never owe anything to Hong Yan.

"You all know?" Hong Yan finally couldn't pretend anymore and asked.

Master Hong nodded.

Mrs. Hong was afraid that she wouldn't be able to bear it, so she never dared to look at her miserable appearance and lowered her head to wipe her tears.

"Haha~ I knew this would happen. You will definitely recognize her. What I regret is why I didn't take action earlier." Hong Yan said ferociously.

She has been taught by the Wang family since she was a child, how to please them, and she has always known that she is not their biological child.

What is family affection?

She is willing to do anything for the Hong family's property to be firmly in her hands.

"You have always known your life experience, right?" Master Hong asked.

"Of course I know. I have known since I was a child that the crimes Li Yun suffered in the Li family were all caused by me." Hong Yan glared at him and said viciously.

She hated Li Yun's face, why should she be prettier than her.

Seeing her stubbornness, Mr. Hong shook his head. Maybe they shouldn't come to see her today.

It turns out that human nature is really innate. They raised her for so many years but they didn't change her at all. Instead, they raised her to be a white-eyed wolf.

Mr. Hong helped Mrs. Hong out of the cell.

No matter how much Hong Yan yelled behind her, she never looked back.

They were already disheartened, and they would just pretend they had never raised her from now on.

After watching Hong Yan, they walked into the Zheng family's shop as usual.

During this period, they visited Li Yun almost every day, and Mrs. Hong often cooked some of her own special dishes for Li Yun and others to taste.

Even if Li Yun had no reaction to their actions, they were still happy with it.

They just want to make up for their debt to their daughter as much as possible. As for the final result, they no longer care about it and let it take its course!

……

time flies.

In the blink of an eye, the academy near Houyan Village was also built.

Because the place is relatively remote, it took three years from site selection to construction.

In the past three years, Mr. Hong invested all the money he earned in the academy.

Because Li Yun did not accept their gift, they found another way to make up for it, which was considered a good deed for their daughter.

Although Mrs. Hong had a son, her affection for Li Yun did not diminish at all, and she took her son to see her every day.

Li Yun's heart was slowly changed. Although she did not change her words, her attitude towards them became much better.

In recent years, the Zheng family has had many happy events.

Zheng Laosi and Miss Sun got married, and the following year they gave Father Zheng two more grandchildren.

One followed the surname of shopkeeper Sun and was named Sun Jinmao, and the other took the surname of Zheng Laosi and was named Zheng Jinsheng.

The Zheng family's shop has also grown from one to two, and they are making more and more money.

Since the sales of pastries have become more and more popular, they have long been running out of manpower.

The children at home need someone to look after them, and the shop needs to be guarded, so there is no time to make cakes.

So they bought another yard near the shop and prepared to find some people to help.

When it comes to making money, you must first think about the people in the same village.

On the recommendation of the village chief, Zhou picked a few honest ones and followed them to the town.

Among them were the village chief's wife and his daughters-in-law.

Because Father Zheng was more generous, he gave each of them a hundred cents a day, and said that the business would increase after the business was good.

Now the village chief's wife is interested. With her supervision, the women work extra hard.

The taste of pastries is also getting better and better.

……

Jin Bao was already over three years old in a flash.

She has not eaten less in these years, but she has not grown much in height. She is half a head shorter than Xiao Lin, and even Xiao Xin has caught up with her.

Chubby, still like a little dumpling.

At this moment, she was wearing a pink cardigan, and her black hair was pulled into a pair of small buds.

Because she couldn't take any time off, her chubby arms were exposed from time to time due to her movements.

The little arms like lotus root joints are so white that they shine, and the whole body is so tender and tender that it makes people want to take a bite just by looking at it.

Her cute appearance makes her even more lovable.

"Grandma, Jinbao has grown up, can he go play in the mountains?"

Jinbao hugged Zhou's arm and started acting coquettishly.

She has never been to the mountains since she last delivered meat to Dabai.

Mrs. Zhou tapped her little nose and said helplessly: "You have grown up, and you are not as tall as grandma's thighs."

A group of big men don't dare to go into the mountains privately. With her being such a small person, who can trust her to go?

If something happens, it won't make people feel distressed to death.

"Mom, I won't study this afternoon. I'll take Jinbao with me. We'll play outside for a while, not inside."

When Xiao Wu saw Jin Bao's pitiful appearance, his heart turned into a puddle of water, and he couldn't bear to see her wronged.

In a few days, the dean and his wife will take office, and he will go to the academy to study. He doesn't have time to take Jinbao to play.

While he had time now, he wanted to have fun with Jinbao.

"Uncle, we are going too!"

Xiaoxiang and the others were not willing to miss this opportunity, so they all came together.

During this time, they have been studying at home all day, and they have long wanted to run out and play.

Mrs. Zhou looked at her younger son, who was taller than herself, and wanted to refuse but didn't know what reason to give.

"Let them go, it will be fine if Xiaobai is with them."

Father Zheng looks particularly energetic in a blue shirt. Not only have these three years left no trace on his body, but he looks even more handsome.

Seeing that he agreed, Mrs. Zhou had no choice but to nod and agree.

"Okay, let's go up the mountain and play!" Jinbao jumped up happily.

"Then you can't eat too much at lunch today, otherwise you won't be able to run halfway."

Zhou patted her belly in a funny way.

"Don't be afraid, there's Xiaobai here."

Xiao Xiaobai is so powerful that he can carry her on his back.

"Ouch~"

Xiao Xiaobai howled out as if responding to her.

With it, Jinbao doesn't have to walk.

"Xiao Xiaobai, don't call like that in broad daylight. People in the village heard it and thought there was a wolf in our house." Father Zheng touched its head and said.

Xiao Xiaobai was confused, wasn't it just a wolf?

In the past three years, the one who has changed the most is Xiao Xiaobai.

Now it looks taller and stronger than a calf, and Dabai looks a bit weaker standing next to it.

His white hair was spotless, smooth and shiny, and he walked majestically. At first glance, he was the king of the wolf clan.

Since it became more powerful day by day, Father Zheng and the others did not dare to let it appear in the village.

Afraid of scaring other people.

I used to be able to raise him as a puppy, but now he's getting bigger and bigger, and he doesn't look like a dog anymore.

"Is Brother Zheng at home?"

A male voice came from outside the door.

Before Father Zheng could answer.

"Jinbao, I'm here to see you."

A girl in pink clothes ran in.

This is……

"Sister Yuyan...little aunt?"

Jin Bao was stunned. Her little aunt had become so beautiful again that she could hardly recognize her.

It's hard to get used to being called sister all the time and changing it to aunt.

"You little guy, you still remember me. I thought you forgot about me."

Yu Yan hugged Jin Bao excitedly and pressed her face against her little face, making her extremely affectionate.

"I didn't forget it. Jin Bao has been carrying the gift from my aunt."

Jinbao happily took out the little rabbit from his shirt.

"I forgot the rules I taught you. Go slowly..."

Lin Zhizhou also walked into the courtyard and looked at his daughter with a look of helplessness on his face.

"Master Magistrate, why are you here?" Father Zheng hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.

"I……"

Lin Zhizhou looked at Father Zheng, a smile froze on his face.

He was so frightened that he took a few steps back and pointed at Xiaobai with a trembling hand, "Wolf... there are wolves..."

Oh my God, how could such a big wolf be in the Zheng family!

Only then did Yu Yan notice Xiao Xiaobai. She put Jin Bao on the ground and jumped on it excitedly.

"Wow~ This is Xiao Xiaobai, it's so domineering, I like it!"

She held Xiaobai's head and stroked it affectionately.

Xiaobai struggled with some resistance. He didn't like other people's touch except Jinbao.

"Don't……"

Lin Zhizhou wanted to step forward and stop her, but when he saw that Xiao Xiaobai didn't respond, he felt relieved.

It seemed like his worries were unnecessary. The Zheng family didn't react at all?

"Prefect, don't be afraid. We have raised this little Bai since he was a child. He will not hurt anyone." Father Zheng explained.

Lin Zhizhou then remembered that the Zheng family had a little white dog before, but he didn't expect it to be a wolf.
