25 Changes (1/2)

Wan Chao thinks that this Manager Bai isn't a proper person. Who would climb up the wall? For a grown man, he would be like a lunatic all day long.

Unknowingly, she arrived at her home. The distance between the school and the courtyard of the glassworks family was very close. It only took her twenty minutes to walk. This was the advantage of a small town.

The living room in the house was filled with washed cucumbers and radishes. Bai Zhexi sat at the side, and was cutting cucumbers. The cucumbers that had been chopped were then poured into a large basin.

When she saw Wan Chao, she exclaimed in surprise, ”Chao'er, why have you come back?”

Wan Chao smiled and said, ”I came back to accompany you for lunch. I saw that you didn't cook, is it because you don't intend to eat anymore?”

Bai Zhexi got up to wipe her hands as she said guiltily, ”How could that be? I was just about to cook.” It's such a waste of time for you to come back. In the future, you should just buy some food from outside. ”

Wan Chao put down her schoolbag and went to the kitchen to help her mother cook.

”I will eat lunch at home from now on, and after eating, I will rest for half an hour at home before going to school. Only after a good rest will I have the energy to continue my afternoon studies.”

Bai Zhexi thought for a moment and felt that it was indeed right. She did not say anything and only hastened the movements of her hands as she hurriedly prepared lunch for her daughter.

The two chatted as they cooked, the atmosphere was warm and harmonious.

From their idle chatter, Wan Chao learned that Bai Zhexi had bought seventy kilograms of cucumbers, twenty kilograms of radishes, ten kilograms of cowpeas, and ten kilograms of lotus roots.

”Mom, can you make it alone?” Wan Chao was a little worried that Bai Zhexi would be dragged into this. In her previous life, Bai Zhexi had died at the shoe repair stall.

”I'm not tired at all,” said Bai Zhexi easily. ”Mom is full of energy when she thinks about how these can all be exchanged for money. If they can all be sold, then we can earn at least a hundred yuan.

Don't worry, today you can make the cucumbers and marinate them for two days. On the third day you can send them to the restaurant. We can also make radishes, cow peas and lotus roots tomorrow. ”

”If you are tired, rest and do it again. Your health is more important than earning money.”

Bai Zhexi was very happy for her daughter's care and concern. She kept nodding her head, ”Don't worry, mom will take good care of herself. I'm still waiting for you to get into Peking University and then get married and have kids.”

When Wan Chu'er heard the words' marriage and children ', she paused for a moment, and her heart skipped a beat as well.

In her previous life, she had personally knocked out the child in her womb. This pain was suffocating every time she thought of it.

Bai Zhexi, however, didn't notice the change in Wan Chao's expression. She only said, ”Alright, go set up the table and get some pickles. Mom will soon fish out the noodles.”

In order to speed things up, Bai Zhexi put the noodles on the table, cooked a few vegetables and ate two poached eggs.

Wan Chao responded with a low voice, then took a plate to scoop up the cucumber sauce.

She remembered that she had promised to send some pickled cucumbers to the Wu family noodle house yesterday, so she planned to send them off after her lunch break.

While they ate, Wan Chao looked at the two poached eggs in his bowl with a frown.

Bai Zhexi quickly explained, ”You're currently growing up, and your studies are so heavy every day …”

Then, under her daughter's rigid gaze, her voice became lower and lower, unable to continue any further. Finally, she obediently took the initiative to pick out a poached egg from her daughter's bowl and placed it into her own bowl.
