Chapter 1011 Wen Yunqing's Little Abacus
While the two were talking, Wen Yunqing came and knocked on the door. After giving out a small yellow croaker, Lin Chen also packed her dinner.
If she came home early from get off work, she would come to help cook dinner... Wen Ju'an and the others would help out, and if she came back late, the little girls would cook for her.
Now that school has started, Lin Chen has changed the time for giving Wen Ju'an and the others extra lessons to Sunday.
Today she knew that Lin Chen was coming to give her daughter extra lessons, so she came a little early.
"Sanli, why didn't I see Jingru and the others today?"
Qiao Sanli answered casually, "Aunt Wen, isn't it Mid-Autumn Festival? They all went back home to celebrate the festival... I was afraid that Sister Ju'an would be bored, so I came here to accompany her. I will also go home early tomorrow morning."
Lin Chen was afraid that the other party would become suspicious, so he arranged for Qin Jingru and the others to leave in advance. This way everything seemed reasonable...
When Wen Yunqing thought of the Mid-Autumn Festival, she suddenly felt depressed. After working at the newspaper for more than a month, she had learned a lot. The Wen family was going to have a hard time!
"That's right. Schools and factories are closed now...only our newspaper is still busy."
Seeing that the other party seemed to be worried about something, Qiao Sanli took the initiative to take over the work in her hands.
"That's how propaganda work works. Aunt Wen, you take a break and I'll do it... This fish was brought by Brother Lin Chen through someone else. He said eating more fish can help your brain."
Wen Yunqing now feels that the money he spent on a small yellow croaker is worth it! Now that supplies are so tight, Lin Chen can always bring back good things...
When he thought of this, Wen Yunqing thought of Lin Chen's strength and connections. He must build a good relationship with him now, which will definitely be useful in the future.
Now Wen Yunqing didn't know why, she kept thinking how nice it would be if Lin Chen didn't have a wife. He was a perfect match for her daughter...
I will regret for the rest of my life if I am forced to find someone like that. I must be careful when choosing a partner for my daughter in the future.

Courtyard house
Yan Family
Yan Bugui was repairing his family's backpack under the lamp. The Yan family was going with three people this time but only had two backpacks. He planned to let his two sons carry one each, and he would be responsible for exploring the way to find wild mushrooms... He was not as old as before, so he left the hard work to the young people.
"Dad, have you told Uncle Lin about Meimei's job transfer?"
Yan Bugui spoke absentmindedly without stopping his movements.
"We haven't even discussed this yet, why are you in such a hurry? Let's solve my problem of being selected as an outstanding teacher step by step first... It's just empty talk to ask someone to help you with so many things at once! Don't you know that it doesn't hurt to cut the flesh with a knife? She's so young, just keep insisting..."
Since Yan Bugui had his back to his son, he didn't know his daughter-in-law was also there... Just after he finished speaking, Meimei snorted angrily and left.
"Yan Jiecheng, bring the meal back to my room. I'm feeling unwell so I'll go back first."
When Yan Jiecheng saw that his wife was angry, he stomped his feet in anger as he looked at his father's back.
"Dad, can't you be more tactful when you speak? You said at the beginning that you could give it a try, but you didn't ask for all these days. In the end, you only care about your own business!"
Yan Jieben was originally a coward, but Meimei gave him some face outside. When he got home with his wife, he behaved like a grandson. He would sneak in at night to wash his wife's pants... just because he was afraid that Shazhu and the others would see him and laugh at him for being henpecked.
Yan Bugui didn't know that his daughter-in-law was behind him. By the time he realized what was happening, Meimei had already left angrily.
Yan Jiecheng ran to the kitchen again to complain to his mother. When the third aunt heard about it, she ran out and scolded the stingy man.
Yan Bugui originally thought that he could ask his daughter-in-law to give him some benefits, and then he could go and plead for mercy. That way he could make a small profit, but his son and daughter-in-law didn't listen.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I'll talk to Brother Lin in the next two days, okay? Look at you all attacking me... My status is only slightly higher than Jie Di's now, and any of you dare to stab me now that you have grown wings."
Xiao Jie Di was having a good meal with Qin Jingru in the backyard at this moment...a box of canned spiced beef was stolen by the two of them!
"Jie Di, when people ask you what you ate, what are you going to say?"
The little girl responded quickly: "If someone asks me, I will say that I eat steamed bread..."
Qin Jingru chuckled: "That's right! Don't tell others that you've eaten meat when you go out, otherwise Banggeng and Xiaojie will chase you. Then there won't be any for you..."
Little Jiedi is not stupid. He Yushui and Qin Jingru have been teaching her since she was old enough to understand.
"Well, I definitely won't tell anyone... I won't tell anyone who asks. My third brother still wants to eat meat, but I won't tell him..."
……
Now at the Qiao family dinner table in the Central Courtyard
Qiao Simei nibbled on the steamed bread and said, "Dad, my sister and I didn't spend the Mid-Autumn Festival at home... We went out with Yushui and Lingling, and Jingru said that Sister Bailing bought a chicken and invited us to eat chicken."
When Qiao Zuwang heard this, he immediately became happy, but before he could agree, Qiao Yicheng took over the speech.
"Simei, aren't you guys at home for the Mid-Autumn Festival? Yu Shui and Xu Lingling will be at home too, right?"
Just as Qiao Simei was about to explain, Qiao Zuwang immediately interrupted his eldest son.
"If you're not at home, then don't be at home! There's nothing delicious at home anyway, so it's not bad to eat some meat with Director Bai. I agree, go ahead!"
At this time, when Qiao Erqiang heard that his sister had chicken to eat, he also supported them to go.
Qiao Yicheng was still afraid of being gossiped about and didn't want to let his sister go.
"Si Mei, will Director Bai be unhappy if you go there? We can't make him hate us... You guys have already started school and you can't help take care of the kids every day. It's not good to eat his food."
Qiao Simei didn't dare to contradict her elder brother. After all, it was her elder brother who was supporting their studies and providing living expenses.
"Brother, it was Director Bai who invited us. Her husband is too busy to come back for the festival, and she doesn't have many relatives around her, so she wants to have some fun. If someone else had invited me and my sister, we wouldn't have gone! We live in someone else's house, so what's wrong with celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival with her now?"
Qiao Erqiang and Qiao Qiqi also followed the four beauties to make a scene...
How could Qiao Yicheng be superior to the whole family? Even the youngest Qiao Qiqi supported her second sister to eat meat...
"Brother, I want to go but no one has called me yet! Just let my second sister go!"
Qiao Yicheng sighed, "You must be obedient when you go to Director Bai's house. He is the director and a senior official... Building a good relationship now may be beneficial to you in the future. Go ahead!"
……
Similarly, Xiao Yushui from the He family and Xu Lingling from the Xu family both reached an agreement successfully...their own family has very little food, so if they want to leave, they can just leave!
The Xu family had the support of Dwarf Tiger and Zhu Cuicui, and the He family treated Xiao Yushui like a free-range baby. She also let him go at Bai's word...
After dinner, the girls from the three families will all go to Bai Ling's house in the backyard to squeeze in, because their families are all short of housing and have no place to live.
Qin Jingru started making the bed and pulling the quilt to wait for them...
Wen Yunqing will live with Wen Ju'an and Qiao Sanli tonight, and Lin Chen will return to the courtyard after finishing his tutoring...
Xu Lingling was the one who took care of the three of them in the courtyard, and now that the two quiet ones were not here, the four of them would definitely have a blast... Anyway, they didn't have to get up early tomorrow, so they could just sleep a little longer.
