Chapter 676 - 286: Future Impact on Children’s Civil Service Exams (Part 2)
She felt a strange sense of nervousness.
She wasn’t afraid of Li Yang having someone outside; she was afraid of Li Yang secretly making money outside.
This was terrifying.
...
Green Water Heaven and Earth.
During the New Year, Chen Peipei was thinking about the New Year’s Eve dinner, so she had no choice but to come here to buy groceries.
But before buying groceries, she needed to have lunch here first, since Li Yang wasn’t coming to make it for her.
She had been to Green Water Heaven and Earth a few times and was quite satisfied with everything here.
It was basically equivalent to a top-tier shopping mall in a first-tier city, with whatever products you could want available here.
The prices weren’t too expensive, especially the self-operated products which had a high cost-performance ratio.
Of course, the food on the sixth floor was also good, but you had to queue.
On New Year’s, instead of eating at home, everyone came here to eat...
Many young people returning home for the New Year gathered together and didn’t bother with outside restaurants, heading straight to the supermarket’s sixth floor instead.
Not only was the food variety rich, but the cost-performance was also high.
The downside was that you couldn’t smoke, nor could you drink like in a private room.
At most, everyone could take a bottle of beer, and drink symbolically, without real enjoyment.
More often, it was various matchmaking gatherings, where men and women meeting up would choose to come here.
After the outing, they could go directly to watch a movie or buy clothes and snacks...
Chen Peipei queued for nearly an hour before her meal was ready.
After a few more minutes of searching, she finally found a place to sit, and even then, it was shared with others.
Trying to find a separate seat at this time was wishful thinking.
Green Water Group is her company too...
Seeing Green Water Heaven and Earth so bustling, she must be happy for sure.
Just that Bai Qing’s shares were getting fewer, now only 13% remaining.
She felt that Bai Qing was also working for Li Yang; nominally Aurora Studio belonged to Bai Qing, but in reality? Wasn’t it still Li Yang calling the shots on major issues?
Plus, with Bai Qing’s personality, Li Yang could take over at any time.
Including herself... all working for Li Yang.
"Stock up more on gold!"
She had decided not to let Li Yang know the amount of gold she was procuring to avoid Li Yang taking it all if he ever turned against her in the future.
If Li Yang wanted fifty tons, she would procure a hundred and twenty tons, hide twenty tons, and then split the rest with Li Yang.
Can’t lose everything, body, youth, and not get money too, right?
Bai Qing is just foolish...
After eating, she went to the first floor to start buying groceries.
When it came to spending money, she wouldn’t hesitate; a meal wouldn’t cost much anyway.
Taking such a huge risk to cover for Li Yang, isn’t worth one meal?
In the afternoon at three, with the help of six servers, she finally loaded the purchased groceries into her car’s trunk.
A full six foam boxes plus two bags.
When Li Yang came by after four, he saw a pile of stuff in the living room and Chen Peipei exhausted and sweaty.
If not for the pile of boxes, he would have suspected Chen Peipei had gone out to fool around, and not just with one person.
"I’ve bought everything, you handle it..."
After saying this, Chen Peipei went to browse her phone.
Li Yang opened a foam box, lifted the ice, and saw the seafood inside.
Every foam box was like this, all full of fresh produce.
He picked through and grabbed three boxes, hugging them as he headed outside.
Chen Peipei was puzzled, "Hey, what do you want to do?"
"Bring them home, you can’t eat so much alone, it’s perfect to add to my family’s New Year dinner."
"I bought those!"
"I’ll reimburse you!"
Chen Peipei: "..."
Thinking about her tiring effort to carry them up, she suddenly felt it was all for nothing.
Probably shouldn’t have bought so much.
"Wait for me a bit, I’ll be back in at most ten minutes!"
...
Li Yang’s cooking was actually quite average, but he had an added identity.
It was like having Liu Yifei cook for you, and she doesn’t charge. Would you say it’s not tasty?
That would be really ungrateful.
Not until past six did Li Yang finish his work.
Chen Peipei was video chatting with Bai Qing while eating.
"Qingqing, your husband’s dishes are quite good, almost at your level."
Hearing this, Bai Qing laughed and asked, "Is what Aunt said true?"
"It’s true, except for lacking in plating skills, everything else is fine."
"Then I’ll tell him later, and have him cook for you more often, to be honest."
"No need, no need, I’m going back to Jiangbei tomorrow, can’t sleep well without that little kid these days."
"Then... Aunt, why don’t you have one yourself?"
"Have one? With whom?"
...
Li Yang didn’t feel his cooking had improved, he didn’t even have the energy to study culinary skills.
Anyway, as long as it was edible, it was fine.
His mother’s cooking was decent, maybe because he was used to it.
Even if the taste was average, Jiang Banxia wouldn’t say anything.
As for Li Likun? Needless to say, he’s been eating for half a lifetime, his resistance must be at its peak.
Xue Ning wouldn’t mind either.
It’s just that the two kids were too rambunctious to have a peaceful meal.
Whether it was New Year’s Eve dinner or any other time, running back and forth, not knowing what the two little ones were up to.
But thanks to the two kids, there was much more vitality at home.
When adults chat, especially family members, if there’s no topic, it tends to be a bit silent.
Not like young couples who can say "I love you" anytime, anywhere.
Among family, expressions of affection are often more in action than words.
This is a unique trait among Chinese, with emotions being reserved.
With kids, there are more opportunities to express, anytime, anywhere they can be used as a topic.
After dinner, Li Yang was holding a child in each arm, with Jiang Banxia following beside him, as they strolled at the neighborhood entrance as usual.
