Chapter 2074

~7 min read 1,348 words

Seeing this luxurious room, Feng Xiaojuan stood there at a loss, and even Chen Quan, who had been a deputy company commander, felt a bit reserved stepping on the thick carpet.

Wang Wentian patted Chen Quan on the shoulder, "Arranging a suite is mainly out of consideration for your family's actual situation. Ordinary rooms only have doubles and singles.

Your legs aren't good, Auntie can't see, and your sister-in-law is looking after two children. If you stay separately, taking a shower or getting up to go to the bathroom at night would be a hassle.

So, I arranged a suite so your family can stay together and look after each other, to avoid any regrets if something were to happen."

Yang Quan sighed and could only accept this kindness, keeping the favor in his heart. If he couldn't repay it in this life, he would repay it in the next.

The two little ones were running around everywhere, sitting on the sofa one moment, pouncing on the bed to roll around the next, and then running to the window to look outside on tiptoe, incredibly excited.

"Xiaowu, Xiaowen!" Wang Wentian called out to the two children, then said to Yang Quan and Feng Xiaojuan, "You've been tossed about on the road for over ten days. Go eat first, have a good sleep after eating, and I'll take you to tour Jingcheng tomorrow."

Then Qiao Yunshi led them to the second-floor restaurant, where six dishes were already set on a table.

When Wang Wentian came in the evening, he had instructed them to make more meat dishes, so Qiao Yunshi had arranged four meat dishes.

Sautéed pork slices, braised pork knuckle, meatballs, and spiced beef, with the remaining two being green vegetables: scrambled eggs with scallions and stir-fried green beans.

Yang Xiaowu and Yang Xiaowen looked at the dishes on the table, their eyes unblinking, their throats constantly swallowing, and drool even flowing out, but they only watched and didn't reach out.

Wang Wentian ruffled the children's hair and placed two meatballs into each of their bowls.

"Eat!"

Yang Xiaowu and Yang Xiaowen still didn't move, but looked at their mother.

Feng Xiaojuan's lips trembled, and she smiled, holding back tears, and said:

"Hurry up and thank Uncle Wentian."

"Thank you, Uncle Wentian!"

"Thank you, Uncle Wentian!"

The two little ones shouted their thanks in unison, then grabbed the meatballs with their hands and began to wolf them down.

Qiao Yunshi picked up a pair of chopsticks from the side, placed two large pieces of pork knuckle meat for the two children, and said in a gentle voice:

"Slow down. If it's not enough to eat, just call the auntie over there and ask her to tell the head chef to make more for you."

Feng Xiaojuan hadn't expected this beautiful and poised woman to be so gentle with the two children.

"Thank you, thank you!"

Feng Xiaojuan didn't know what to say, so she raised her hand and slapped Yang Xiaowu on the head, causing the boy's face to slam into his bowl.

"Only knowing how to eat, hurry up and thank the auntie!"

Yang Xiaowu didn't care at all about being slapped by his mother. He lifted his head, still with a piece of meat in his mouth, rubbed the back of his head, mumbled a thank you to the auntie, and continued to bury his head in his food.

The little girl hurriedly swallowed what was in her mouth: "Thank you, auntie!"

Feng Xiaojuan's sudden slap didn't get much of a reaction from Qiao Yunshi, but seeing Yang Xiaowu's face covered in grease, she burst into laughter.

She had been in the mainland for a few years and had long been accustomed to the way parents in the mainland educated their children.

"Spoiling" was just a word in the mainland; "spare the rod and spoil the child" was the norm here.

Slapping them a couple of times or kicking them for no reason had already become a part of life for children.

And the children were tough; as long as they weren't hit too hard, they would just brush the dirt off themselves and go back to playing or eating.

As for a "rebellious phase," it was impossible to exist before the nineties; if it did exist, it meant they weren't being hit enough.

So, if you dared to be rebellious, Dad would hit you, then Mom would hit you, and after the two of them caught their breath, they would come back for a "mixed doubles" round.

Qiao Yunshi ruffled the two little ones' hair and said to Feng Xiaojuan, "Big sister, my name is Qiao Yunshi, and I'm the general manager here.

The restaurant is open 24 hours a day. You can come here to eat anytime; just tell the waiter your room number, 8010.

Also, if you need anything, just find a waiter. If the waiter can't provide it, ask them to find me."

Wang Wentian shook hands with Qiao Yunshi, "General Manager Qiao, sorry for the trouble."

"This is what I should do," Qiao Yunshi smiled, "You guys eat, I'm leaving."

Watching Qiao Yunshi leave, Wang Wentian opened a bottle of Yugong liquor: "Old Yang, we haven't had a drink together for a long time. Don't think about leaving tonight until we've drunk until we fall."

Yang Quan laughed heartily: "Drinking? When have I ever been afraid of you? Come on!"

…………………………

The next day, Zhou Andong didn't get up until after eight o'clock. Old Four had gone to school, and Su Su had also gone to nursery school.

It was likely that Jian Qiu had gotten up early and stopped the two little girls, not letting them run over to disturb him.

After getting up and washing, he went downstairs. Jian Qiu, Yuan Liying, and Old Comrade Zhou were watching TV. Zhou Andong glanced at it; it was playing *The Legend of the White Snake*.

He leaned against the door frame, lit a cigarette, and asked, "Have you all finished eating?"

"What time is it and you're still not eating?" Yuan Liying rolled her eyes at him, "Don't you guys have things to do? Hurry up and go eat."

Zhou Andong sighed, turned around, and went out the door to the restaurant, where Auntie Wu brought breakfast.

He stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray and had just picked up a steamed bun and taken a bite when he heard someone calling.

"Brother!"

"Big Brother!"

"Big Brother!"

"Big Brother!"

Zhou Andong turned his head and saw Zhou Anqin, Gao Xue, Wen Yingluo, and Huang Yu.

Zhou Andong asked in surprise, "Why are you guys back?"

"We don't have classes today." Zhou Anqin and the others entered the restaurant.

Zhou Andong asked again: "Have you guys eaten breakfast?"

"We have!" Zhou Anqin replied: "Is my sister-in-law at home?"

Zhou Andong lowered his head and took a sip of porridge: "Your sister-in-law is in the living room of the back building watching TV. Is something up?"

"Nothing major!" Zhou Anqin turned and walked out: "You eat, we're going to find my sister-in-law to go shopping."

"Shopping for what!" Zhou Andong said: "Your sister-in-law and I have important things to do."

Zhou Anqin didn't stop: "I'll go see Dad and Mom, then we'll go shopping ourselves."

"Big Brother, we're going to the back to see Uncle and Auntie."

Gao Xue waved her hand, and along with Wen Yingluo and Huang Yu, followed Zhou Anqin toward the back.

Ten-plus minutes later, Jian Qiu entered the restaurant: "Are you finished?"

Zhou Andong nodded, picked up a napkin, and wiped his mouth: "Finished, let's go!"

Wang Wentian had stayed at the hotel last night, and the car hadn't been driven back, so Lian Kai had parked the BMW business van at the main gate.

Just as Zhou Andong and Jian Qiu got into the car, Zhou Anqin and the others chased after them.

"Brother, wait!" Zhou Anqin squeezed into the car: "Take us to Dashilan."

"Thank you, Big Brother, Sister-in-law!" Huang Yu greeted them with a grin.
