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

Ergou was afraid that they would make fun of them again, so he changed the subject, "Why are you here?"

Youcai, still holding Bayue in his arms, explained to him, "The child is hungry, so we want to eat on the street before going back. This way, we don't have to cook it when we get home, which would waste time."

Ergou clapped his hands and motioned for August to come over.

August was not shy and immediately sat in his arms.

"Do you still recognize me?"

August nodded. Of course she recognized him. The main reason was that this uncle would bring her a pretty little skirt every time he came. She said in a baby voice, "You are my second uncle."

Ergou patted her head and said, "August is so good!"

After the ordered food was served on the table, August ate the fried dough sticks with gusto, while the others also picked up chopsticks and started eating.

"Freshly fried dough sticks are still the best! Crispy!"

"Yes. In big cities, youtiao are fried in advance, so they are no longer crispy when they are taken out."

Everyone was busy eating fried dough sticks and tofu pudding, and no one was talking about the gossip about Baolin and Ergou anymore.

After dinner, Ergou took their luggage to the parking lot, and then Ergou and Youcai were responsible for watching the luggage while the others continued shopping.

The family had already bought New Year's goods, and they only bought some fresh fruits shipped from the south.

On the way back, because the car was full of luggage, Ergou took August with him, and everyone else had to walk back.

It was icy and snowy, and even if they changed into snow boots, water inevitably got into their shoes.

When they got home, Hongxia carried her luggage home. The others changed their shoes and got on the kang.

Seeing how cold they were, Zhang Xiuhua made them a pot of ginger soup, brought it to the table on the kang, and gave each of them a bowl to drink to warm their stomachs.

She hung up the clothes that Jidong had left on the kang to dry. "Have you eaten?"

"Mom, I've eaten." Youcai asked her to come over and sit down, and whispered to her, "Mom, did you know? Ergou and Baolin are dating."

Zhang Xiuhua wanted to show surprise, but her acting skills were not good enough.

Youcai saw through her at a glance and looked at her resentfully, "Mom, you knew they were dating, why didn't you tell us?"

Zhang Xiuhua coughed lightly, and faced her eldest son's condemning gaze, and quickly changed the subject, "I just want to see who has the best vision among you?"

Youcai, Yaoyao, and Zhenzhen looked at each other. They always felt that their mother disliked them because no one could see it.

Youcai coughed lightly, not wanting to be treated as a fool by his mother, so he asked, "Did Jidong see it?"

Zhang Xiuhua shook her head, "No!"

Youcai was immediately happy and clapped his hands, "If even he didn't see it, then I'm not stupid."

Zhenzhen glanced at him. Is there a causal relationship between them?

Yaoyao touched her chin and said, "Mom, when did you find out?"

Is her vision so bad? She didn't notice anything at all. Oh, that's not right! When her mother got into trouble last time, Ergou and Baolin came back together. She felt something was wrong at the time, and later she noticed that Ergou and Baolin were acting intimately. But she was only concerned about her mother at the time and didn't pay attention to the two of them. She thought Ergou was concerned about Baolin. It turned out that her intuition was right.

Zhang Xiuhua smiled and said, "Last year during the Chinese New Year, Ergou didn't come back to celebrate the New Year, but he still wanted to watch her competition. I guessed that."

Youcai glanced at Ergou, then looked back at Zhang Xiuhua, "Doesn't he often go to watch Baolin's games? What's so strange about this?"

Zhang Xiuhua spread her hands, "Normally there is no problem. But it is abnormal that he does not come back for the New Year. His greatest pleasure now is the New Year, when all the children who have gone out come back. He can show off to the villagers. Does it make his father feel bad?"

Usually there are few people in the village, so the effect is not good. Only during the New Year can Ergou's vanity be satisfied. In order to watch Baolin's game, he even ignored his vanity, which shows that he has great ambitions.

Yaoyao gave her a thumbs up, "Mom, you are really thoughtful!"

She hadn't thought of this. I have to say, Mom really understands Ergou.

Ergou scratched his head uncomfortably and put his arm around Youcai's shoulders, "Come on! I'll help you and we'll make a delicious stew."

Youcai was taken out by him and was busy killing chickens and ducks. He also had to go to the village butcher to cut some ribs.

When Jidong and Xiangxiang arrived at the village, they could smell the fragrance from a distance.

Jidong made a bet with Xiangxiang, "Youcai must be back. He's the only one who would use so many spices when cooking."

When the tricycle stopped at the door, Youcai was seen wearing an apron, standing at the door directing Ergou to kill chickens.

Jidong and Xiangxiang said goodbye at the door, and Xiangxiang rode the tricycle home by herself.

Youcai saw Jidong and ran over to him, "Jidong, I'm telling you that Ergou is dating someone."

Jidong's eyes widened, "When?"

His expression pleased Youcai, who put his hands on his waist and laughed, as if he had won eight million.

Jidong was completely confused by his laughter.

Ergou blushed, dropped the half-killed chicken, walked over and kicked Youcai in the ass, "Behave yourself! What are you crazy about!"

Youcai stopped laughing and pointed at Ergou and Baolin who was standing at the door, "They are dating. Don't you know?"

Jidong was really shocked this time. He looked at Baolin and then at Ergou. How did these two get together? They were from different places and had nothing in common.

When Youcai saw Jidong's expression, he quacked with joy, as if ten thousand ducks were quacking.

Zhenzhen was speechless. She had something in her mind that she didn't know whether to say: You said you didn't see it, Jidong didn't see it, but he could make you so happy. But she didn't say it. In public, you still have to give Youcai face!

Seeing Youcai so happy, Jidong patted him on the back and said, "Alright! Be more steady in front of August."

Youcai stopped laughing immediately and looked back at Bayue, who was just imitating Youcai's behavior, laughing with her neck tilted back. But her voice was not as loud as Youcai's, and she had completely suppressed it just now.

Youcai ran over and covered his daughter's mouth, "Hey, stop laughing. If you laugh again, you'll look like a fool."

Everyone laughed together, and at this moment, a child rushed over from outside the yard.

These children were very young, about ten years younger than Youcai, and most of them did not recognize him.

The kids rushed in and immediately surrounded Zhuzhu to ask for her autograph. "I love the TV series you starred in. It's so good."

Zhuzhu was a little surprised that these kids were actually her fans. They were too young. She took the paper and pen they handed over and asked him what his name was.

"My name is Wang Zezhi."

Zhuzhu immediately wrote in the notebook, "I wish Wang Zezhi to be happy and get 100 points every time."

Wang Zezhi took the notebook and jumped for joy.

The other children pushed their notebooks over to them, and Zhuzhu told them not to fight, "You guys line up first. Don't make noise."

The children immediately lined up, with Zhuzhu writing in the front. However, the line behind them did not get smaller, but got longer and longer instead.

It turned out that when the children in the village learned that Zhuzhu had returned, they all ran over to line up.

Youcai watched this scene and told Jidong what happened to them on the train.

It turned out that someone on the train recognized Zhuzhu and asked her to take a photo together. It was this action that made other passengers recognize her and they all came around to ask for autographs. In the end, it caused a traffic jam. When the train arrived at the station, passengers could not even enter the door. The train police came to maintain order. To avoid causing more commotion, they upgraded Zhuzhu to a soft sleeper.

You know, Ergou fired Zhuzhu's assistant, so she didn't have time to buy the ticket. Youcai helped buy the train ticket. He was unlucky and didn't buy a soft sleeper. The whole family took hard seats.

Jidong was also surprised. He didn't expect that Zhuzhu would become so popular after not seeing her for a few months.

He pulled Ergou aside and asked, "How much does Zhuzhu charge for commercials now? Can I ask her to shoot one too?"

If he wanted to make his toy factory bigger and stronger, he had to establish his own brand and couldn't just keep working as a OEM for others.

Ergou smiled and said, "Brother, if I take your money, Zhuzhu will definitely call me a capitalist. You are in the start-up stage now, so save as much as you can. I will recommend a director to you later, and you can tell him your ideas. Zhuzhu will help you shoot for free. I won't charge you any money."

Jidong didn't bother to be polite with him. "Thank you very much." He looked at Zhuzhu who was busy, "I have to thank Zhuzhu too."

Youcai told Jidong, "The last time Zhuzhu went to the restaurant for dinner, we made a news story and the customer flow increased by more than 20%."

Jidong asked him how many stores he had opened.

"Six. Three were opened this year. One of them is a high-end Western restaurant that doesn't sell Chinese food. The waiters are all part-time college students from prestigious universities." Youcai smiled, "Come over for dinner when you have time."

"it is good!"

Ergou remembered something, "Where will you work after you resign?"

"Pengcheng or Yangcheng." Jidong had already made plans. At this stage, the capital's technology is not very developed, and Pengcheng is developing faster.

Ergou nodded. "Then you and Xiangxiang will have to live apart. You'll be so busy that you won't even be able to see her. What about Xiangxiang?"

To be honest, only Xiangxiang can stand Jidong. Who would stay out of the spotlight for a year just to do research and development?

Jidong smiled and said, "Xiangxiang also plans to open a shopping mall in Pengcheng. There is a land auction going on there. She happens to have some spare money, so she plans to buy the land first."

Ergou suddenly realized that the two of them had already made a plan and he had thought too much.

Jidong patted his shoulder and said, "You really care about me. Last time when I was doing the experiment, I really shouldn't have cut off contact with the outside world. This won't happen again next time."

He originally wanted to concentrate on research and development, but unexpectedly, his aunt got into trouble. His aunt was in the detention center and had not seen him. She must have felt very sad and heartbroken.

Ergou didn't insist on the topic and nodded, "Just think it through."
