Accidentally entered a high gate

Xu Yanqiu knew that Zheng Chunfang meant she wanted to be friends with her. She also wanted to be friends with Zheng Chunfang.

Xu Yanqiu looked at Zheng Chunfang and laughed, "You let my daughter bask in your 'freshness,' and I'll let you bask in my 'relaxation.'" Xu Yanqiu felt that all mothers would want their daughters to live like Zheng Chunfang.

"It's a deal. What's your daughter's name?"

My daughter's name is Zhao Yuqin.

Zheng Chunfang looked at Xiaoyuqin with a smile and said, "Your name is so pretty. Can Auntie hold you? Auntie is very good at holding babies."

Children are curious too.

Xiao Yuqin hesitated for a moment, then raised both of her little hands and stretched them out to Zheng Chunfang.

Zheng Chunfang picked up Xiaoyuqin and asked, "How old are you?"

"Three years old," Xiaoyuqin said, referring to the traditional Chinese age reckoning. In the countryside, people generally use the traditional Chinese age reckoning.

As Xiaoyuqin spoke, she tentatively touched Zheng Chunfang's face.

Zheng Chunfang patted her little head. "Do you like Beijing?"

"I like it. White steamed buns." Xiaoyuqin saw that Zheng Chunfang was not angry at all, and even asked her if she liked Beijing, so she raised her two little hands and cupped Zheng Chunfang's face.

Zheng Chunfang: "..." What does that mean? "Xiao Yuqin, do you mean you like Beijing because it has white flour steamed buns?"

"Hmm. White flour steamed buns, white flour steamed buns."

Zheng Chunfang: "..." You only need to say it once, no need to say it twice.

"Hahahaha..." Xu Yanqiu was amused by her youngest daughter's words and Zheng Chunfang's expression. "What my daughter means is that Beijing not only has white steamed buns, but also pretty aunties who look like white steamed buns."

Zheng Chunfang gave her a disgruntled sideways glance. "Comrade Xu Yanqiu, there's a saying: 'See through it but don't say it.'"

"Hahaha... I heard you have four children. Do you have a daughter? Does your daughter look like you?"

"I have one daughter and three sons. My daughter doesn't look like me."

"Doesn't look like it? I was thinking that if I ever see your daughter, I must pinch her chubby little cheeks."

"Even if my daughter looks just like me, you can't pinch her. My daughter is already ten years old this year (by Chinese reckoning)."

"Oh? Your daughter is already ten years old?"

"Yes. My daughter is the eldest. How many children do you have?"

"Three. My daughter is the eldest too. But she's only seven years old (by Chinese reckoning)."

……

After learning that Zheng Chunfang and Xu Yanqiu are the same age, many people are curious to see whether they will clash or pretend the other doesn't exist.

As a result, the two actually became friends.

That evening, just as Zhang Qiaoyun finished washing up and was about to rest, her husband suddenly said, "I heard that there are two girls in your class who are the same age, but they look like mother and daughter?"

Zhang Qiaoyun: "..." She knew people would compare Zheng Chunfang and Xu Yanqiu. "It's not that exaggerated. Xu is just a bit darker and thinner. She'll look younger with some rest."

"Do they look down on each other? I heard that the one who acts like a daughter goes to get food for her husband as soon as school is over, and her husband can just eat it directly."

Zhang Qiaoyun: "..." She had no idea that Zheng Chunfang went to get food for her husband right after class. "How do you know so much? Aren't there only men in your office?"

"Men also need to chat a bit to relax, right?"

Zhang Qiaoyun pursed her lips. "You guys want to see if those two will fight, right? They're really something now."

"Really?"

"Of course it's true. You only know they look like mother and daughter, but you don't know I made Xu the class monitor?"

Her partner genuinely had no idea. "Ahem! What? Aren't you afraid she'll use the power you gave her to suppress that female classmate?"

"Her eyes are very focused. Also, she must be smart to have gotten into Peking University. If she's not stupid, she should be able to guess that Zheng's in-laws aren't ordinary people. Ordinary families can't raise Zheng like a delicate flower. Zheng already has four children."

"Couldn't it be because her family is well-off?"

"It doesn't matter if her family is well-off. In short, as long as Xu isn't stupid, she won't go against Zheng."

Looks like there's no excitement to be had.

Zhang Qiaoyun glared at him. "They're all in my class. Do you want to see them make a fool of themselves, or do you want to see me make a fool of myself?"

"..."

Meanwhile, Ma Lifeng and Zheng Chunfang quickly adapted to university life.

On the other hand, Yan Bang and Yan Min didn't need to adapt at all, because they were already quite familiar with the children in the compound.

Xiao Yanchuan is quite happy.

When Yan Bang and Yan Min got home from school, they saw Xiao Yan Chuan digging in the yard with a small shovel.

Yan Min nudged Yan Bang on the shoulder. "Brother, is Yan Chuan a little slow-witted?"

Yan Bang also felt that Xiao Yan Chuan wasn't very bright. Although it was spring, it was early spring. "Yan Chuan, what are you doing?"

"Dig the soil."

Yan Bang: "The soil is too hard right now, let's dig it again in a while."

"I want to dig."

Yan Bang: "..."

Yan Min: "..."

As soon as Wanwan entered, she saw Yan Bang and Yan Min looking at Xiao Yanchuan with worried expressions. "Why are you two looking at Yanchuan like that?"

The two brothers huddled together on either side of Wanwan and whispered, "Big sister, don't you think Yan Chuan is a bit silly?"

You two are the idiots. "I don't think so."

Yan Bang: "I told him the soil was too hard, but he still insisted on digging."

Yan Min: "After his parents went to university, he never once asked them where they went?"

"Didn't his parents tell him all this before he went to college? Why is he still asking? As for digging? You two did that when you were kids, and in winter too."

Upon hearing this, Yan Bang immediately said, "Impossible."

Yan Min also thought it was impossible. "We're not that stupid."

"You two are so stupid. Grandma, Grandma."

"Coming." Su Jingyu came out of the house when she heard Wanwan call her. "What's wrong?"

Wanwan looked at her and smiled, "Grandma, do you remember that one winter when the two of them insisted on digging a hole in the yard to raise small fish?"

"I remember. Your dad told them the soil was too hard to dig in winter, but they didn't believe him. In the end, your dad had no choice but to dig for them."

Yan Bang and Yan Min: "..." Did they do such stupid things when they were kids?

Wanwan crossed her arms and looked at them with a smile, saying, "At least Yan Chuan digs in the spring. You two insist on digging in the dead of winter."

Yan Bang and Yan Min: "..." That's not small.

"Yan Chuan, let your older brother help you dig."

"Yan Chuan, your second brother will dig for you too."

……

When Ma Jingshan came home from get off work, he saw his three grandsons digging in the yard.

Ma Jingshan: "..." You three are really brothers, all of you love digging in the dirt. And you do it before the ground thaws.

……

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it's 1979.

Su Jingyu was teaching Xiao Yanchuan to write when Wanwan walked in from the doorway. "Grandma, let's go set up a stall. I see more and more people setting up stalls."

Su Jingyu: "..." Why did her little granddaughter suddenly decide to set up a stall? Is her little granddaughter a little money-grubber?

Xiao Yanchuan: "Okay, okay!"
