Zhu Lian laughed, “I never thought about what I want you to do. Just help the foundation get started. I haven’t even thanked you yet. Just consider it settled. Don’t worry, if you’re interested, I’ll definitely leave you a share. However, the listing is still being sorted out internally, and it will take about three years to go public. If I don’t make it by then, you can blame me.”
Lao Hai looked at the summer. Zhen Zhen had a soft complexion but a distinctive style. With yellow and messy eyebrows under a high bone, his eyes looked deep, with large eye sockets that made it difficult to see the whites of his eyes, giving people a feeling of not being able to look directly at him. He simply said, “You will continue to live until my investment profit.”
Dealing with Zhen Zhen like this was provocative. The summer used his foot to stir the water flower leisurely. By noon, he didn’t want to have lunch with Zhen Zhen, and Lao Hai seemed unwilling to eat with Zhu Lian, as if no one wanted to speak first.
Zhen Zhen thought of a strategy.
“Bring over the foundation’s confidential document. Today at noon, there will be a fresh lake crab interval, possibly with a Suzhou Quality Supervision Bureau inspector.”
Lao Hai didn’t know where he had seen such a document. The summer said, “I don’t have much contact with her at work.”
It was quite a popular thing. Zhen Zhen replied, “Then I’ll go to your foundation.”
Song Ruoer was sitting alone eating in the office.
Seeing this, the summer knew that Zhen Zhen’s big plan was brewing. Zhen Zhen said, “Don’t eat the boxed meal. Eat seafood instead!” Song Ruoer shook her head.
Zhu Lian asked, “Why haven’t you gone to the research institute?”
“Several new doctoral students are waiting there at noon. I’ll go after my evening shift.”
Since the Suzhou incident, Song Ruoer had been going to the research institute day and night, rain or shine. At noon, she guarded her meal, and in the evening, she would return home late. Song Ruoer was diligent, she just loved to dress up.
Song Ruoer sat in the office behind, most of her body blocked, only a pair of legs in stockings crossed underneath, Zhen Zhen staring at those legs, his gaze up and down.
The summer walked over, both hands pressed on the table and sat down. He grabbed Zhen Zhen’s line of sight and said, “Let’s find a place to eat!”
Zhu Lian replied, “No. Not eating.”
Lao Hai’s face was bitter, speaking to Song Ruoer, “Where is the little Song doing her health? Her body looks so good.”
Song Ruoer said, “I’m doing exercises at home.”
“I’ll give you a card. Our health center has high standards, and training will follow you.”
“Thank you, but I don’t like going to that place.
Little Su also doesn’t want to go. You guys are really something.”
Heshen waited until Song Ruoer finished eating, and when Song Ruoer was about to leave, throwing away the chopsticks, Heshen grabbed over and said, “I’m going to walk, I’ll throw you into the trash can.”
At a loss, Heshen was sent out the door by Xiaotian during the electric meter reading time, who said, “If I had such an old sister at home, I would also not wash my heart.”
“With this heart, you don’t have such an old sister in your life.”
Heshen entered the electric meter room, and before Xiaotian closed the door, he added another sentence: “Your old sister can’t get anything out of her hand, so she can only exchange things, take quantity and quality.”
Actually, today was not a bad day. The pesticide notification could return, and even the cafeteria owner reported the old lady’s appearance. Xiaotian told the owner to inform the old lady, and Mochen had something to find him.
Ah Puzi’s original old daughter had already turned over, and Xiaotian gave her a three-layer mixed concrete small cake, with Ah Puzi decorating the first and second layers as an external business, and herself living on the top floor. After turning around, the first thing Xiaotian did was to take her back to see the old lady.
In the courtyard, there were still ten-eight tea trees, with lush leaves and dense branches. Xiaotian said, “When this tree was as tall as a child, you hadn’t been born yet.” To Ah Hua, the age was not an advantage but a disadvantage. She would never be able to participate in his youthful years, would never be able to share those past experiences that had never been mentioned, life was destiny, so she was close to the dream. Standing looking at the tea flowers, the dream seemed like a light in the darkness, his face over the years gradually becoming calm, but his eyes increasingly bright, his unease and pain always flashing at every moment, like a force trying to escape the clouds, no matter how hard, those things always followed behind him.
Ah Puzi made a delicious cool powder: chicken beans had been soaked in cold water overnight, soaked soft beans ground into paste, filtered and then fried with ginger oil, then mixed with a little powder, cooked into a black paste, placed in a plate, cooled and ready.
Ah Hua was cutting the cool powder into thick long strips in the kitchen, adding cold vegetables, green bean sprouts, with flower oil, oil chili, fried hemp face, vinegar, soy sauce, soup, garlic paste, sesame oil, salt mixed together. Ah Puzi said, “In winter, cut into pieces and fry in a pan, it can be eaten hot. Can also do cool powder stir-fried vegetables and other things.”
Sitting in the small kitchen, the dream wouldn’t eat, and Ah Hua sat on the platform to taste fresh. The cool powder was delicious, directly hitting the brain, a spiritual moment, with the heart jumping out.
Ah Puzi asked the dream why he wasn’t with Ah Hua, Xiaotian replied, “He hasn’t reached the legal marriage age, and hasn’t finished his studies.” Ah Puzi said, “Women’s books are useless, men can get married, women must study books, can you men learn to give birth? Really against heaven!”
Regarding the book matter, Xiaotian was slightly worried. He discovered that if he could teach Ah Hua smoothly to get high school literature, he would definitely have all the qualities of a world-class educator.
He proved it directly.
The proof line method commonly used has: using adjacent angles equal, using known straight lines or other lines, using equal-sided triangles, using inverse theorem… Xiaotian completely didn’t need to mention other complex theorems, he had definitively stated: “It’s a right-angled ruler!”
“You need to prove it’s a right-angled ruler!”
“Proved already! Raised the ruler! It’s straight!”
“You need to prove it’s straight!”
“One look and it’s a straight ruler! Why prove it! I’m not a fool!”
“If you don’t prove it, zero points!”
“Zero points! I’ll take it to the big exam and let everyone judge, who says this isn’t straight!”
How Ah Hua mixed into the first middle school was a thousand-year-old mystery. But if her head hadn’t forgotten the book, she was extremely passionate about ancient novels, familiar with gold building, Mei Ren’s literary works’ classic lines, even encountering uncertain characters, she would positively look up the dictionary.
The mathematical reasoning and this head are indeed half-hearted. However, this summer still wanted to prove the direct reason.
“Why do you want to marry me?”
“Because I like you!”
“I know you like me, just one look and I knew, shall we get married?”
“After marriage, I’ll give you children, take care of household chores, serve you well, and take care of you, only then can I prove that I truly love you!”
“Then you must make a clear line for me to see, only then can it prove it’s a direct love!”
This made her heart tremble with sincerity.
