Stepmother Reborn: Dad, my mom hasn't hit me for three days

Zhang Xiuhua took Jilin to the Bund and searched for a long time before finding them.

It was summer vacation, and many people gathered here to see the building.

Jilin and the others were observing the buildings. Youcai and Jilin were fine, seeing these foreign buildings just broadened their horizons. But Yaoyao was dazzled, looking at them over and over again without getting bored.

Zhuzhu thought it was boring and wanted to row a boat instead. But the boats were too big for her to row.

Just then, Zhang Xiuhua came with Ji Lin.

Jidong came forward and asked, "Aunt, are you done?"

"Yes! The money is coming." Zhang Xiuhua saw a restaurant not far away and said immediately, "Let's go! Let's go eat something good. Let's also try the dishes here."

Several people hurried to catch up, but Yaoyao was the only one who was staring at the building. Jidong turned around and saw that she hadn't caught up, so he pulled her over and said, "There are people everywhere here, don't get separated."

Yaoyao finally came back to her senses and reluctantly looked away, "That house is so beautiful."

"Can it be more beautiful than the Forbidden City?" Jidong asked casually.

"A different kind of beauty. The Forbidden City is also beautiful, but it is beyond the reach of ordinary people. However, if ordinary people have money, they can build a Western-style building like this." Yaoyao imagined that if such a two-story building was built in the countryside, it would definitely be beautiful.

Jidong smiled and nodded, "Maybe. If you are interested in architecture, let's go to the bookstore later and you can buy a few books on this subject. Maybe you can become an architectural designer in the future."

Yaoyao's eyes lit up, "Is that okay? I'm afraid no one will want to hire me in the future."

Yaoyao's words were not without purpose. Construction workers are generally male, and female workers are rarely employed.

"You are a designer, not a laborer or a mechanic. There should be no distinction between men and women. What you need to do is to acquire knowledge and enrich your own insights. Only then can you stand out when you compete with others in the future." Jidong believes that people are pragmatic. If she is good enough, the boss will not care whether she is a man or a woman.

Yaoyao was a little unconfident before, but after hearing what he said, she immediately gained confidence.

After the group sat down, Zhang Xiuhua asked them, "What are you two talking about? You look so excited."

"Aunt, shall we go to the bookstore later? I just saw a big bookstore over there." Jidong suggested.

"Sure. You can buy any book you like." Zhang Xiuhua just finished speaking, and suddenly realized that she didn't have the book tickets here, so she said, "I'll ask someone where I can buy book tickets. You can write down your names first, and I'll buy them for you later after I buy the book tickets."

"Row!"

Jidong asked her if she had any food coupons.

"Yes! Youcai's father helped to exchange the national food coupons. They can be used in Shanghai as well." Zhang Xiuhua gestured for them to order food.

Except for not allowing them to order wine, they were allowed to order other dishes.

So a group of kids didn't know how to match the food and just ordered whatever they wanted.

Shanghai braised pork, vegetarian crab roe, eight-treasure kiln, fried shrimp, Shanghai braised catfish, four-happiness meatballs, fried eel paste, spring rolls, assorted vegetables and fried winter bamboo shoots with fried vegetables.

Some dishes are not Shanghainese cuisine, but Huaiyang cuisine.

When taking the order, the waiter looked at Zhang Xiuhua several times, his eyes falling on her clothes, as if saying "Can you afford it?"

Zhang Xiuhua sighed. So always respect the clothes first and then the person.

Zhang Xiuhua took out the food coupons and money, and the waiter's expression calmed down a little.

The dishes were soon served.

Only some children can appreciate the taste of the food, while other children just eat it as soon as it is served without caring about how it is cooked.

"The dishes here taste very light. Not as strong as ours." Youcai originally wanted to savor them slowly, but these greedy ghosts were too voracious. He only picked up one piece with chopsticks, and when he picked up another, it was already finished.

He didn't even bother to cook and immediately joined the team grabbing food.

"If it's not enough, we can order more." Zhang Xiuhua reminded them to be careful about the impact. After all, this is a high-end hotel, and people who come and go are people of status. If they are so casual, others will think they are of low quality.

After her reminder, the children slowed down and ate their food leisurely.

But in the end, no more dishes were served because more and more dishes were served and their stomachs were already full.

Zhang Xiuhua told them not to waste the food, to give each person some, and to finish all the dishes.

I ate too much and didn’t take the bus back home. I just wandered around the Bund.

"Mom! How many days will we stay in Shanghai?" Zhuzhu held her mother's hand and looked up and asked.

"We'll take the train to Jiang Province tomorrow. Jidong is going to visit his mother." Zhang Xiuhua said with a smile, "I'll take you to eat the delicacies of Jiang Province then."

Zhuzhu's eyes were sparkling.

After returning to the guesthouse, Zhang Xiuhua and Jilin changed into new clothes. They had been wearing patched clothes for a long time, and others looked at them with disgust.

After changing into that white dress and putting on younger makeup, her whole temperament changed drastically.

Zhuzhu circled around Zhang Xiuhua, "Mom is so beautiful!"

Yaoyao also nodded and said it looked good.

Zhang Xiuhua took them to the Shanghai Zoo by bus.

It is summer vacation, and many parents bring their children here to play.

Because their mother had warned them not to shout in public, they all restrained themselves and wandered around, trying to find small animals.

"Mom! That's a giraffe!" When Zhuzhu saw the animal, she couldn't control her voice and screamed.

The others' attention was immediately drawn to her. After all, the thing standing under the haystack with the long neck and spots on it must be a giraffe.

Seeing someone taking pictures, Zhuzhu also wanted to take some.

"After we took the photos, we couldn't come and get them." Zhang Xiuhua was a little embarrassed. The cameras at that time were not instant, and it took several days to develop them before we could get them.

They are here for tourism and cannot wait that long.

Zhuzhu was a little disappointed and pulled Jilin forward, "Jilin, look! There's a lion over there!"

The other children all followed.

The man who heard the noise turned around and saw Jilin being grabbed by a little girl. Jilin didn't notice that someone was looking at him, but Zhang Xiuhua did.

Gao Lixuan was actually here too! She thought that they had lost 5,000 yuan and their family would be in turmoil for several days. Unexpectedly, everything would calm down so quickly.

Gao Lixuan also saw Zhang Xiuhua, but his eyes were full of surprise. Wasn't she very dark? How could she become so white? !

Wearing a white dress, her figure has not changed, and she has more charm of a mature woman than when she was young.

Gao Lixuan thought about it and understood that she did it on purpose. His face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot. He just stared at Zhang Xiuhua.

He wanted to see Zhang Xiuhua panicking, but he was disappointed. When he saw Gao Lixuan, she gave him a provocative smile, as if to say, "I just lied to you! What can you do to me?! If you have the guts, come at me!"

Gao Lixuan was so angry that he vomited blood. He was actually fooled by a village woman! When he saw a bunch of children around her, he became petty. She wanted so much money, could it be that she wanted to raise stepchildren? !

He walked up to Zhang Xiuhua in two or three steps and said, "Those are your stepchildren, not your biological children. You should be better to Jilin and Baolin, because they are your biological children."

Zhang Xiuhua glanced at the child beside him with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes, which meant, "You can't even handle things fairly, and you still want to teach me a lesson? You don't deserve it!"

In front of so many children, she didn't want to be described as a shrew. She rolled her eyes, thought of a plan, put on a bright smile, and called to Jilin affectionately, "Zhang Jilin, run slower!"

After saying that, she simply ignored him and walked past him without even glancing at him.

Gao Lixuan behind him was petrified. "Zhang... Zhang Jilin?"

She actually changed the child's surname? He, Gao Lixuan, became a son-in-law? How dare she! She changed her surname, and she came to him to ask for money with confidence! She, she, she... A fire jumped up in his heart and rushed straight to his forehead. He was like a spark jumping out of a stove, just a handful of grass would make him burn!

He covered his chest and tried to rush over, but the child behind him hugged his legs and said, "Dad! Dad! I want to see that. Carry me up."

Just like a bucket of cold water poured over his head, Gao Lixuan suddenly came to his senses. Why was he going to settle accounts with her? If he went to argue with her, with her shrewish personality, she would definitely turn his family upside down! Not only would he be embarrassed, but he would also lose his job! Anyway, he didn't plan to recognize Baolin and Jilin, no matter whether their surnames were Gao or Zhang!

No matter how he prepared himself mentally, he still vomited blood when he heard Zhang Xiuhua calling him "Zhang Jilin" over and over again! He was actually fooled around by a village woman!
