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

In the afternoon, Jilin and Yaoyao came back from school.

Zhang Xiuhua's time with them was always different every time she came back, and she hadn't seen them for a long time. When she saw the two of them, she immediately asked them how they were doing in school, "How are you getting along with your classmates? Is your teacher nice?"

She was worried that her two children would not be able to adapt to the new classes after being separated.

Jilin's grades have improved. After the class division, he is in the best class in the school, but he is not happy. He sighs when talking about school, "My classmates and teachers are okay. But there are too many things to memorize, and my brain is not enough."

Zhang Xiuhua really couldn't help him, "Then you should eat more fish. I heard that eating fish can improve memory."

Zhuzhu felt that this statement had no basis at all and laughed, "Mom, I've only heard that fish only have a memory of seven seconds. If eating fish can really improve memory, why doesn't it improve itself?"

Zhang Xiuhua was stumped by her question. Zhuzhu's words seemed to make sense.

Yaoyao explained on behalf of Zhang Xiuhua, "Because fish meat is rich in fatty acids and proteins, it can enhance the activity of brain nerve cells, help improve memory and learning abilities, etc. Deep-sea fish in particular are relatively rich in nutrients, which can effectively improve brain nutrition, promote brain development, and enhance memory. (From Baidu Encyclopedia)"

Zhuzhu didn't understand, but it sounded very professional to her.

Yaoyao wanted to test her, "There are many poisonous snakes in this world. Let me ask you, if a coral snake bites another coral snake, will it be poisoned?"

Zhuzhu scratched her head and thought for a long time. This puzzled her. If the snake was poisoned, how could it not die? She tried to test, "It's not poisoned?!"

Yaoyao shook her fingers, "No! It will be poisonous. The venom of the Bungarus coagulans contains a variety of neurotoxins and blood coagulase, which are highly toxic. When a Bungarus coagulans bites another Bungarus coagulans, the venom will be injected into the bitten snake, causing a poisoning reaction. This poisoning reaction may cause serious consequences such as nervous system failure, respiratory failure, heart failure, and ultimately death. Therefore, a Bungarus coagulans bites a Bungarus coagulans will be poisoned to death. (From Baidu Encyclopedia)"

Zhuzhu suddenly realized, and she looked at her with sparkling eyes, "Sister Yaoyao, I think you are very suitable to be a doctor. You speak so professionally."

Yaoyao scratched her head, "Really? I also think that I am doing very well in studying biology."

Zhang Xiuhua also agreed, "Are you taking another exam?"

"Yes!" Yaoyao was a little embarrassed. "In the last exam, I was admitted to the best class. I was ranked 46th in the whole school. One place higher than Ye Xingyu."

Zhuzhu looked at her in confusion, "Who is Ye Xingyu?"

Yaoyao blushed slightly and stammered, "My classmate. He has very good grades. He used to be the top student in our class."

She bit her lower lip. Zhang Xiuhua saw this and felt a pang in her heart. She asked tentatively, "Are you and he deskmates?"

If these two were sitting at the same table, wouldn't the love letter be exposed? She was so nervous that her heart was pounding.

Yaoyao had no idea that Zhang Xiuhua was nervous. She shook her head and said, "No! He took the initiative to talk to me after the exam."

"What?" Zhang Xiuhua asked impatiently.

Jilin always felt that his mother was weird. She used to pay attention to their privacy, but now she was asking questions about everything. He couldn't figure it out, so he just stopped thinking about it.

Yaoyao had nothing to hide. "He said he would definitely surpass me next time." She clenched her fists. "I will definitely keep working hard. I won't chat with you anymore. I still have homework to do. I'll go back and do it first."

Zhang Xiuhua watched her back as she hurried back to the house, and wondered if Yaoyao would understand the words "make progress together" in the love letter as "getting admitted to the same university."

When she turned around, she found that Jilin had been staring at her. Zhang Xiuhua touched her face and asked, "What's wrong?"

Jilin pinched his chin and thought seriously, "Mom, are you worried that Sister Yaoyao will fall in love too early?"

Zhang Xiuhua looked at him in surprise. This kid actually got it? Jidong was several years older than him and he didn't get it, so how could he suddenly get it? Could it be that he was also in a premature love relationship? !

Her mind was working quickly, and she heard Jilin sigh like a little adult, "Don't worry. Sister Yaoyao won't fall in love too early. She only has her eyes on studying now."

Zhang Xiuhua breathed a sigh of relief. This child was not only lazy, but also had poor eyesight. She asked tentatively, "You didn't fall in love too early, did you?"

"Of course I don't." Ji Lin curled his lips, "Girls are the most troublesome. Especially my former desk mate who always said something inexplicable and asked me to guess. I'm not a worm in her stomach, so how can I guess it?"

Zhang Xiuhua: “…”

This attitude of disdain was nothing like falling in love. She was relieved.

Jilin took his books to the orchard to memorize them, and ate some gala fruits and blueberries. That life would be so comfortable. When Zhuzhu heard his idea, she jumped up and down to go with him. Not long after they left the house, they hurried back.

Zhang Xiuhua wondered, "Did something fall down again?"

Zhuzhu shook her head, "No! Mom, my second brother is back."

Zhang Xiuhua was slightly startled, and then she understood that Ergou's factory must have been built. She was about to go out to greet him, but Ergou came in with his luggage.

Zhang Xiuhua asked him to come in quickly and asked him if he was hungry.

Ergou was really hungry, but he didn't ask her to make something delicious. Instead, he opened the bag, which contained dozens of packs of instant noodles. He showed them off like a treasure and said, "This is a new product developed by our factory. I brought it back for you to try. Give me your opinions. If you agree, we will officially start production."

Jilin and Zhuzhu stared at the colorful packaging. At that time, many products liked bright colors, which was also because the colors in the 1970s were not rich enough. The two rushed to say, "I want to eat it too!"

Ergou smiled and nodded, "Okay! But you have to give me some advice!"

Zhuzhu nodded quickly, "No problem!"

Jilin was a little slow and nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

Zhang Xiuhua took boiling water from the kitchen and cooked a bowl of noodles for everyone. Even Yaoyao, who was doing homework in the room, was called over to be a food taster.

The aroma was really strong. The instant noodles Zhang Xiuhua prepared for herself were slightly spicy, but not too spicy, which was acceptable to many people. The ones for the children were not spicy. But the noodles were very chewy, and they were ready in three minutes without breaking.

"Wow! It smells so good." Zhuzhu's mouth was watering at the taste before she even ate it.

Jilin also nodded, picked up the chopsticks and took a bite, "Delicious!"

Ergou took a bite and then looked at Yaoyao eagerly, "Do you think it tastes good?"

Yaoyao didn't say anything, and her expression didn't change. Ergou thought she didn't like it, but she was just thinking about the math problem. After Ergou reminded her, she came back to her senses and nodded belatedly, "Yeah, it's okay!"

Ergou looked at Zhang Xiuhua again, "Godmother, what do you think?"

Zhang Xiuhua had eaten a lot of noodles in her past life. And most of them were eaten on trains. This one was indeed very fragrant, the pickled cabbage was also delicious, and the dehydrated vegetables were chewy. There was only one thing, "You didn't put enough oil. I think you could add some meat."

"If we add meat, the cost will increase a lot." Ergou was a little hesitant.

"Adding a little meat will make customers feel it's worth it. You don't have to put a lot, just a little bit is fine, and the soup should be made with beef bone soup, which is more delicious." Zhang Xiuhua felt that the soup would be too bland if it was stewed with chicken soup, and it would be easier to taste with beef bones because of the spicy taste. You have to know that hot pot uses beef fat, which is more fragrant.

Ergou thought about it carefully, "Okay! I'll go back and add beef!" He scratched his head a little embarrassed, "There are many chicken farms in Nantong. Chicken is easy to buy, but beef is relatively difficult. But it shouldn't be a problem if I look carefully."

Zhuzhu felt that her mother was just nitpicking, "Mom, aren't your requirements too high?"

She thought it was delicious. This instant noodle was much better than dried noodles and had a chewy texture.

Zhang Xiuhua laughed, "Of course you think it's delicious the first time you eat it. But if you eat it many times, you will get sick of it."

At least in her previous life, she only ate this when she was on the train and never ate it at other times.

Ergou looked at Zhuzhu and said, "Godmother has a point. Now this noodle is just plain noodles, so it can't be sold at a high price. If we add beef, the price will go up, and people will think it's worth it."

He turned his head and looked at Zhang Xiuhua, "Godmother, I came back this time to bring Zhuzhu to shoot a commercial. I want to use my artists to shoot the commercial and then place an advertisement on CCTV."

Zhang Xiuhua nodded, thinking that his idea was good, and couldn't help but ask, "I think the Spring Festival Gala is a particularly good platform. Can you advertise on the Spring Festival Gala?"

The Spring Festival Gala is the most watched program. If we can put ads on it, we don’t have to worry about no one buying them. Besides, not many people can afford to buy a TV at this time. The advertising fee should be very cheap.

Ergou is not sure about the price of the Spring Festival Gala. "I will ask someone later. If I advertise during the Spring Festival Gala, I will definitely have to prepare the goods in advance. Otherwise, after the advertisement, I will be flooded with orders. How can I send them so many goods?"

Zhang Xiuhua nodded, "Do you have enough money? If not, I can support you a little more."

Ergou smiled and said, "I'll find out first. If I really need money, I'll borrow from you."

"Row!"
