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

After Ergou agreed, he went back to the south to take care of his business.

Li Jianguo realized something later, "What if we build a factory ourselves without a secret recipe?"

Zhang Xiuhua thinks this is the least of her worries. "Introducing equipment means knowing how to brew wine. Those processes are all industrialized, and we just need to follow the instructions. If you feel it is not safe, you can hire a master brewer from a state-owned brewery."

"Isn't this bad?" Li Jianguo thought the idea was too dangerous. It was like digging out someone else's secret recipe.

"There's nothing wrong with that. They're going to go out of business sooner or later anyway. It's not some exclusive secret recipe, it's just a set of operating procedures." Zhang Xiuhua thought for a moment, "If you don't want to do that, you can just put up an ad to find a winemaker and have them figure it out."

This is how Ergou made his instant noodles. Although she had never brewed beer, the process should be very simple.

Li Jianguo thought this method was feasible and it was not unethical to hire an experienced master.

Zhang Xiuhua sighed, "You can make some quick money and then withdraw it quickly."

With his personality, he will definitely suffer losses when competing with others.

In September, the children resumed classes.

Yaoyao was going to report to the medical school in the capital, which had a seven-year undergraduate and master's program. Li Jianguo took her to the school to report.

Zhang Xiuhua has to work and her working hours are different, so I can't send her to college.

The day before Yaoyao was about to leave, something big and small happened in the village.

Zhang Xiuhua was not at home, but she heard the noise outside and walked out of the house.

Aunt Wang Er saw her coming out of the house and called her to go watch the fun together. "From the sound I heard, it seems to be the old village chief's house."

Yaoyao thought so too, and many people walked over to watch the fun.

Before I even reached the door, I heard the child crying, but her mother was holding her tightly, with a suitcase bag in her hand.

Yaoyao curiously asked the person in front, "What's going on?"

Aunt Li Si turned her head and saw that it was her. She was stunned for a moment and explained in a low voice, "Guoxiang's wife wants to go back to the south. She doesn't want to stay here anymore. The old village chief and his family stopped her. They said the child is too young and she can't help in the south."

Yaoyao suddenly realized. She could make money in the south, but here, travel was restricted. No wonder she couldn't stay.

Xiaoli insisted on leaving. "I've had enough of this family. I don't want to stay here."

Song Lianhua thought she was making a fuss, "If we go to the south, what will happen to the child?"

"I'll take care of the kids myself!"

"It's the same if you take care of him at home." Song Lianhua thought this child was really stubborn.

"How can it be the same? I can find a babysitter when I'm tired." Xiaoli doesn't speak Mandarin well. When she gets angry, she starts speaking in dialect. Others can't understand her either, and it's like they are talking to a deaf person!

Aunt Wang thought Xiaoli was being unreasonable. "It's the same if you take care of the kids at home. Why do you have to go to the south?"

"She used to have a job in the South, but now she's here, she's unfamiliar with the place and has to stay at home taking care of the kids all day. She must feel bored, right?!" Yaoyao guessed.

Aunt Li Si had a look on her face that said, "What nonsense are you talking about?" "My house is close to hers, and I heard them quarreling several times before. It seems that Xiaoli asked them for money to buy clothes, but they didn't give it to her, and they also complained that she was wasting money. Xiaoli is very young, and the clothes she wears are all brought by her. After giving birth, her figure is out of shape, and her clothes can no longer fit her. She felt that she couldn't make ends meet, so she had to leave."

This reason is the most reliable. Yaoyao sighed and thought: If it were her, she would definitely leave too.

In the end, the old village chief felt embarrassed and angry, and told Xiaoli to leave as soon as possible.

Xiaoli took the 100 yuan thrown by the old man and left with the child. The luggage bag she carried was so light that it looked like it had no weight.

The departure of Guoxiang's wife did not cause much waves in the village. At most, Song Lianhua said a few words to her in the first two days after she left, and no one paid attention to her afterwards.

Li Jianguo went to see Yaoyao off, and left the animals and fruits at home to Xu Chunying to take care of for a day.

The reason why it only took one day was because Zhang Xiuhua returned from her trip very quickly.

At the weekend, Zhuzhu came back with her luggage, looking a little unhappy, as if she was mad at someone.

"What's wrong with you? Is someone bullying you?"

Zhang Xiuhua felt that this was not right. Because Zhuzhu was a little star, all the classmates in the class were vying to play with her. The word "bullying" should not appear in her name.

Zhuzhu pouted, "No! No one bullies me. Originally, I was supposed to raise the flag on Mondays, but because I was too tanned, the school leaders didn't choose me."

Zhang Xiuhua saw her face wrinkled like a bitter gourd, and she wanted to laugh, but she was afraid that the little girl would see it and be unhappy, so she tried her best to hold it back, "So that's how it is! Then you should pay more attention to sun protection in your daily life, and you will be back soon."

Zhuzhu held her face in her hands and said, "The male classmates who used to write me love letters no longer pay attention to me."

Zhang Xiuhua's heart skipped a beat. She had just solved Yaoyao's premature love problem, and now it was Zhuzhu's turn? Should she be allowed to take a break?

"It's better not to have a male classmate like this who only relies on his looks." Zhang Xiuhua patted her shoulder.

"Mom! You don't understand, they are my fans. Without their support, how can I be so popular?" Zhuzhu sighed like a little adult.

Zhang Xiuhua was confused. "Who do you want to hang?"

"I don't want to tease anyone. I just like the feeling of being admired by them." Zhuzhu raised the corner of her mouth, "I'll be very happy then."

Zhang Xiuhua was a little speechless for a moment. This child just liked this feeling, and she didn't do anything excessive, so it was not worth it for her to criticize her. "I think you can practice piano more when you have time. I heard from your second brother that it's not easy to be a star nowadays. Not only do you have to be able to act, you also have to be able to sing. You can't be tone-deaf."

Zhuzhu's eyes widened, "Singing brother? Are you going to hold a concert for me?"

How could Zhang Xiuhua dare to agree? "He said there is such a possibility!"

Ergou fully financed the TV series, which often had interludes. In order to save money, he would ask the actors to sing. Zhuzhu was too young before to sing nursery rhymes at the opening and ending of the film, but as she grew older, her voice changed and her singing range also expanded.

When Zhuzhu heard that she could hold a concert, she immediately put everything aside and excitedly went back to the house to get her violin to play.

She hadn't played the piano for a long time, so she was a little awkward at first. But after practicing for a while, she got the hang of it.

In a blink of an eye, Li Jianguo came back after sending Yaoyao to school.

Zhang Xiuhua went to work.

On the first day she arrived in the capital, Youcai told her a great news: he was going to marry Zhenzhen.

Zhang Xiuhua's eyes widened. "So sudden?"

"It's not sudden actually. My master's health is not very good, and he wants to see the next generation before he dies." Youcai said with a smile on his face, "Zhenzhen and I thought about it again and again and agreed to get married early."

Zhang Xiuhua thought: Master Zheng is afraid that Youcai will regret it after he dies? Well, it's human nature! She asked, "When?"

Youcai blurted out, "Eleven!"

Zhang Xiuhua was almost mad at him, "We're getting married on the 11th? You told me on September 20th? Ten days to prepare? How can you be so careless?!"

There was a phone at home, but he didn't even call! Zhang Xiuhua was so angry that she wanted to hit him twice.

Youcai felt a little guilty, and smiled at her with his round face licking, "I wanted to tell you in advance, but I just made the decision myself, and I didn't even have time to tell my dad."

Zhang Xiuhua's anger disappeared when she saw the smile, and her voice became gentle, "Do you have to be in such a hurry? You can wait a little longer. You haven't been talking to Zhenzhen for long."

Marriage is a lifelong event, so how can we make such a hasty decision just to fulfill the wishes of the elderly? Oh, these children are all troublesome!

Youcai has already made up his mind, "We have known each other for a long time."

Zhang Xiuhua was helpless.

Youcai scratched his head and said, "Aunt Zhang, I plan to hold a party at Master's hotel on October 1st."

Zhang Xiuhua nodded, "Sure. We can do it once on each side. It can also be considered as notifying each other's relatives. It's too busy back home, and I can't take a leave for a while. How about you go back after the National Day? Half a month is enough for me."

Some people think it is feasible. This way they don't have to rush.

Zhang Xiuhua asked him, "How are you and Zhenzhen getting along? Is she interested in you?"

Youcai's face was full of sweetness, "Very good."

He seemed to want to say something but was too embarrassed to open his mouth.

Zhang Xiuhua was relieved when she saw his smiling face. "By the way, how is your second apprentice brother?"

Youcai really didn’t know, “I haven’t seen him for a long time.”

Zhang Xiuhua nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
