77 So Be Proud

“Mother.” Shen Yao pursed his lips and explained softly, “I don’t know when I fell for Ah Tao, but I can confirm that I do like Ah Tao.”

When he saw her smile, he could not help but smile foolishly.

Moreover, he always wanted to be closer to her. He could not help but want to be close to her.

Shen Yao felt that this should be love.

“Since you like Ah Tao, treat her well!” Zhao Lanhua advised earnestly. “Ah Tao is very obedient and cute. I like her very much, but the divorce letter you wrote yourself is still in her hands, so if you want her to be your real wife, you have to work harder!”

“Yes, I know.”

Ji Zhao slept exceptionally soundly.

She didn’t wake up until dusk.

The moment she walked out of the door, she saw a thin figure squatting on the steps.

“Chenchen?” Ji Zhao quickly went to Ji Chen and asked with a gentle smile, “Why are you sitting here alone?”

“Sister… I miss Sister…” Ji Chen grabbed Ji Zhao’s sleeve forcefully, unwilling to let go.

Looking at the little guy who was about to cry, Ji Zhao sat beside him and pulled him into her arms. Her eyes were filled with gentleness. “Chenchen, do you want to go to school?”

“School?” Ji Chen looked up in confusion, his big innocent eyes filled with confusion.

“That’s right.” Ji Zhao rubbed his little head and explained softly, “In the books there are golden houses and beauties. Only by reading more and reading better can you become a knowledgeable person!”

“Chenchen wants to study!” Although Ji Chen was still a little ignorant about studying, he was willing to listen to Ji Zhao.

“Okay.” Ji Zhao smiled in relief. “I’ll think of a way to earn a lot of money. When the time comes, I’ll provide for your studies.”

Ji Zhao had already thought it through. Before Ji Chen came of age, she was willing to do her best to help him.

At dusk, smoke rose in the sky above Shanghe Village.

Zhao Lanhua, who was busy in the kitchen, made two extra bowls of steamed egg with minced meat.

“Second wife, Ah Tao! Let’s set the table and eat!”

“Coming!” Second Sister-in-law Shen, who was still in the room, replied happily. Before she left, she did not forget to look at the pair of silver earrings hanging on her earlobes!

Shen Dashan, who came back at mealtime, had a bright smile on his face.

“Why are you smiling so widely?” Zhao Lanhua teased with a smile. “Did you pick up silver or did you step on dog poop outside?”

“Nonsense!” Shen Dashan looked at her helplessly. Then, he explained, “Uncle Village Chief praised us just now. Not only did we help everyone sell those small fish these few days, but we also led everyone to pick up snails. From beginning to end, we helped some families add some income. Uncle Village Chief said that our family did a beautiful job!”

“This is all thanks to Ah Tao!” Zhao Lanhua brought the cooked rice to the central room and said happily.

“That’s right!” Shen Dashan nodded in agreement. “Ah Tao is a good girl!”

Ji Zhao, who happened to walk into the central room, happened to hear this praise. She silently curled his lips and smiled modestly. “Father, Mother, I’ll become proud if you keep praising me like this!”

“So be proud!” Zhao Lanhua scooped a big bowl of minced meat and egg soup and handed it to her. “I’m proud of you too! I’ll reward you with a bowl of steamed egg with minced meat!”
