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

Zhang Xiuhua didn't tell anyone about Jidong and Xiangxiang's relationship. Unlike many people who couldn't hide their secrets, she was tight-lipped. This was actually caused by her professional habits in her previous life. The employer's privacy must not be told to others. To avoid trouble.

When she returned to her hometown, she learned from Li Jianguo about Zhuzhu's high school entrance exam results. Not to mention Zhuzhu did well. Although she was not the top scorer in the exam, she ranked 23rd in the city. With this score, she would definitely have no problem getting into the best high school.

She called Ergou, but he was not in Pengcheng and she couldn't find him, so Zhuzhu didn't know her high school entrance examination results for the time being.

Jilin's final exam results came out. This kid has always been biased in his subjects. He scored over 140 in science, but only around 110 in Chinese and English. The gap is huge.

The bottom line is that he has a very bad memory and forgot all the poems he had memorized in less than a month.

She held a parent-teacher conference for Jilin, and the teacher asked her to stay to talk about Jilin's academic performance. "With his grades, it will be no problem for him to get into college. But if he wants to go to a good university, he needs to work harder! It would be best if he could improve his liberal arts grades a bit more."

Zhang Xiuhua had no choice but to hire a tutor for Jilin and give him private lessons.

The tutor I hired this time has a lot of experience in liberal arts. If your memory is not good, it means you don't copy enough. If you copy more, you will naturally remember it.

So Jilin began to recite various articles that appeared in high school over and over again. If one time didn't work, he would recite it twice, and if two times didn't work, he would recite it three times.

Li Jianguo felt sorry for him when he saw the notebook he copied, "This child has worked so hard!"

"It's hard work, but there's nothing we can do about it. Who told him to have a bad memory?" Wouldn't Zhang Xiuhua feel bad? But no! Ji Lin is so lazy. If he fails to get into college, he will have to do manual labor. With his personality, he will probably give up.

Li Jianguo could only cook different kinds of fish for Jilin. Fish can improve people's memory.

Steamed fish, braised fish, fish balls, fried dried fish, etc., have greatly improved Li Jianguo's skills in cooking fish.

Zhang Xiuhua liked it more and more as she ate it. "You know what, the fish you cooked is really delicious!"

Li Jianguo was a little proud, "Of course! I told you that cooking fish requires skills, it must be fresh! It's best to process it right after it is caught from the river. Marinate it with onions, ginger, garlic and oil, let it absorb the flavor, then fry it in the pan. Here's a trick, sprinkle salt before frying the fish, so that the fish skin will not break..."

He talked nonstop, and Zhang Xiuhua was enjoying her meal. "Can we fish in the river behind?"

"Fishing is not banned, but scattering fish or electrocuting fish is not allowed." Li Jianguo has no time to fish, but in order to help Ji Lin improve his brain, every time someone goes fishing and passes by the foot of the mountain, he will stop the person and buy one or two fish.

"That's great! The fish in this river are so fresh." Zhang Xiuhua likes to eat fish at this time. They are not fed with drugs, but are absolutely natural. The meat is delicious and the taste is also quite good!

So the next day, she went to the town and bought a large plastic bucket and put it in the space. She went to the river and saw people catching fish, so she bought all of them and put them in the space.

The space can preserve freshness, so she can take out whatever she wants to eat. She can even take it out again ten years later. Isn't this more valuable than gold?

She was so happy with her brilliant idea and thought she had come up with a great way to make money which would also be good for health.

Perhaps it was because of excessive joy that sorrow came. When Zhang Xiuhua returned home, she heard something big: the sugar factory was going to change owners.

It was sudden, but not that sudden. After all, they hadn’t been able to pay wages since April. But Zhang Xiuhua never expected that the sugar factory wouldn’t even last half a year. The garment factory lasted more than a year.

Zhang Xiuhua asked Li Jiandang, "Who is the new boss?"

"I don't know. The bidding is still ongoing. There is a notice posted at the factory gate. Anyone who wants to buy the factory can go and buy it." Li Jiandang took a look while delivering the goods.

Zhang Xiuhua sighed, wondering how much money the sugar factory would cost. The money she had on hand... well, forget it, she had already bought a house, so there was no way she could buy another one.

Zhang Xiuhua went to the orchard and told Li Jianguo about this.

Li Jianguo was silent for a while. "The sales of eggs are gone, and the store has lost one more person. Our family's income is getting less and less."

Zhang Xiuhua held her face in her hands. "At least our orchard is pretty good. It should be able to sell for one or two thousand yuan this year, right?!"

The fruit in the orchard has reached its peak season, and the price of blueberries remains high. There are only a few blueberry growers in the county. I think I have chosen the right path.

Li Jianguo also laughed, "That's right! We have quite a few foxes, if we sell them all, they'll be worth a lot of money!"

He suddenly asked, "You said that clothing factories and sugar factories are privately owned. So can breweries be opened as well?"

"Of course we can. But how can we afford to build a production line?" Zhang Xiuhua shut him up with just one sentence!

Li Jianguo suddenly lost his temper. He sighed and said, "Our family has saved up 30,000 yuan."

The 30,000 yuan was actually Zhang Xiuhua's resale money. The money she made from resale using her space was her own private money, but if the group resold together, it would be counted as public money. There was also her salary and the money he earned from selling oyster mushrooms and gala fruits.

Thirty thousand is indeed a lot, but the production line costs one million, which is still too little money.

"You should save more money now. Maybe one day our county's brewery will stop production and sell its products. Then we can make some money!" Zhang Xiuhua believes that people should have dreams. Li Jianguo's dream is to open a brewery, and she must support him.

Li Jianguo thought about it and it made sense, "Then work hard to make money!"

Zhang Xiuhua and Li Jianguo were picking fruits in the orchard. They heard someone shouting outside. She thought it was a villager, but when she looked down, it turned out to be Ergou.

"Why is he back?" Li Jianguo couldn't help but worry, "Could something have happened to Zhuzhu?"

Zhuzhu was filming in the south, but Ergou suddenly came back from the north. No wonder he thought this way!

Li Jianguo ran down the hill in a hurry.

Ergou saw that his godfather had misunderstood him, and hurriedly shook his head, "It's not Zhuzhu. I found an assistant for her, and she's filming on the set. I came back because..."

He was a little embarrassed, lowering his head, as if he couldn't speak. Zhang Xiuhua and Li Jianguo were both nervous, "What's wrong?"

Ergou struggled for a long time before finally speaking, "It was Baolin. I offended her."

Zhang Xiuhua didn't understand. "She was training. How could you offend her?"

Ergou told him the situation. During this period, Baolin was interviewed in the south and participated in a competition. He went to watch and saw many people trying to please Baolin. He chased them away. Baolin got angry and felt that he did not respect her.

Li Jianguo felt that Ergou was doing something wrong. "Baolin is old enough now. She is already 20 years old. It's okay for her to date someone. We don't need to be on guard against her falling in love too early like before."

Zhang Xiuhua thought that 20 was still too early. After all, Baolin was at the peak of her career at this time. If she fell in love, it would definitely affect her performance. But she couldn't interfere with her daughter's normal relationship. If she wanted to find someone when she was older, it would be too late.

She patted Ergou's shoulder and said, "When Baolin comes home, we will help you to make peace. Don't do this again! Baolin is very stubborn. Before, I didn't want her to skate, but she insisted on skating. Look at her now... If she likes a guy, the more you try to stop her, the more she wants to be with him. It's better to let her go than to block her."

Li Jianguo felt that Zhang Xiuhua's focus was a bit off, so he asked Ergou, "Who are those people chasing Baolin? Do you recognize them?"

Ergou actually recognized them. "There are three. One is 20 years older than Baolin, the boss of an investment bank, quite rich. He is from Hong Kong. One is from the capital, hanging around in the Beijing circle, he doesn't have a high position, but his father should be quite capable, I'm not sure what he does specifically, he is eight years older, but I heard he is very romantic and has dated many girlfriends. The other is a foreigner, 10 years older than Baolin, divorced, has a child, and is a ski coach."

Zhang Xiuhua was a little speechless, "Why are they so much older? Aren't there any of them the same age?"

She doesn't like her son-in-law being the same age as her. It would be like an old cow eating young grass. When he dies, Baolin will be left alone.

"Yes, there are quite a few. However, those people are not competitive compared to these three and have already dropped out halfway." Ergou told the truth.

Zhang Xiuhua didn't like any of them. "The first one is only one year younger than me, that won't do. I won't agree. I'm not poor. The second one is even worse, a playboy, no matter how rich and powerful he is, I won't agree. The third one is even worse, marrying a foreigner, I won't even be able to see him in the future."

Li Jianguo was a little amused, "Didn't you say that we can't stop them by force?"

"Just because I don't like someone doesn't mean I don't agree. If Baolin really likes someone, can I stop her? I'm saying this in front of you. In front of Baolin, I still have to support her." Zhang Xiuhua fully learned from her mistakes in her previous life. She shouldn't go against Baolin from the beginning. She should let her get along with the other person first. Maybe she can find the other person's problems and then break up. She doesn't have to be a bad person. She asked Ergou, "Has Baolin ever shown love to anyone?"

Ergou really didn't see it. "She was busy with training and had very little time. But when she found out that I had driven the guy away, she was very angry and scolded me. She might like one of them, but I'm not sure which one."

Li Jianguo and Zhang Xiuhua looked at each other. This was serious.

Zhang Xiuhua was anxious, "When will Baolin return to the sports team?"

"She should be back in the team, right? When I left, she had already returned by train." Ergou was a little nervous, "Godmother, I just want to help her. I don't want to interfere in her private life. I just think they are not suitable."

Zhang Xiuhua nodded, "Okay! I understand what you mean. I'll go home and call her now."

Li Jianguo saw her walking home angrily, and was afraid that she would quarrel with Baolin on the phone. Although she repeatedly expressed her willingness to be magnanimous, Li Jianguo was afraid that she would lose her temper and her tone would become bad. He hurriedly followed her. When Ergou saw them leave, he immediately locked the door of the orchard and quickly chased after them.
