None of the current teachers are people I know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s leave it at that, I just wanted to reminisce a bit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your days have always been so good, colorful and vibrant.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good? Colorful and vibrant? I wouldn’t say so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was always looked down upon since I was a child. My grandmother was clearly wealthy, but she was never willing to indulge.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sometimes I think my grandmother’s life was quite wasted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She finally had the means to enjoy life, but still couldn’t open her mind. Actually, I should also be thankful to my grandmother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If she had been extravagant, I wouldn’t have had the capital to succeed.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s the cycle of cause and effect, you reap what you sow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When I was a child, I was very stubborn. My grandmother often looked at me and sighed, afraid that I wouldn’t get married or be happy in the future.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now the old woman can rest easy. In my eyes, all your issues are wonderful. You’re exactly how you should be.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuanyuan looked at Tan Shaoting and smiled, \"Do you think a person’s looks are related to their life?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why do you ask?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You said if I had a more modern appearance, you wouldn’t pay much attention to me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tan Shaoting was taken aback by Yuanyuan’s question, \"Is that so? I don’t think so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, I noticed you because your eyes were unique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After getting to know you, I felt you were different from other children of that age.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To say your appearance had no reason at all would be untrue, but even if you had been the same as in a previous life, we would still end up together.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two stood chatting at the school gate. Yuanyuan was filled with emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe, those things don’t matter anymore. As long as our family is happy together, that’s all that matters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let’s go, I’ll take you to eat something delicious. I think that little shop should still be around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I used to work there. My favorite food used to be their meat pies. Back then, they pitied me and would always give me one after I washed their dishes every day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hehe, I still remember that the first time they gave me one, I refused because I was afraid it would come out of my wages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterwards, they would always give me one after paying my wages.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Come on, let’s go try it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Guided by memory, Yuanyuan arrived at the little shop, but it was now a high-class neighborhood; the shop was gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unwilling to give up, Yuanyuan asked several elderly people about the old restaurant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just around the corner, there’s an Old Liu Restaurant. Wasn’t it always called that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuanyuan smiled and nodded, it had been decades. The couple probably wouldn’t be around anymore, but she decided to go have a look anyway.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They drove to the other side of the neighborhood and saw the red sign of Old Liu Restaurant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, the place was empty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuanyuan walked around, and then a middle-aged woman came out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s not meal time yet.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ma’am, I wanted to ask, is this Old Liu Restaurant the same one that used to be over there?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, it is.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are those two elders still here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you asking about my father-in-law or my grandfather-in-law?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My grandfather-in-law is still alive, but unfortunately, grandma is not. Are you looking for the elder for any reason?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuanyuan smiled, \"No reason, just that someone mentioned that the elder’s meat pies were excellent. I came to try them and meet him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, you’re not a local, are you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuanyuan smiled and nodded, \"No, I’m not.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, you’ll have to wait a bit. The elder comes by every day to check on our work.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’s over eighty but still can’t put his mind at ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, we’ll wait here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The couple sat down. \"I used to love working here, even if it was just after the evening study. They had hot water for me to use.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plus, back then, the smell of meat made me feel happy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuanyuan whispered to Tan Shaoting about those times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She thought she’d forgotten after all these years, but it turns out she remembered it clearly once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yuanyuan, did you feel those days were hard?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuanyuan shook her head, \"No, actually I never thought my days were hard. But it was different in others’ eyes. They saw me in the same clothes every day, living on hardly more than a dollar for food, and thought I was struggling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back then, the school even used me as a role model to educate other students, and I felt so powerless.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tan Shaoting was quite happy to see his energetic wife. It seemed she was still fond of this place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to her reminisce happily, Tan Shaoting smiled along.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A quarter of an hour later, they saw an elderly man with silver hair and a walking stick enter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuanyuan recognized the kind-hearted boss at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Liu noticed a pretty young woman smiling at him as soon as he entered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re here early, but it will still be a while if you want to eat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuanyuan stood up with a smile, \"We just came to try it out. An elder once mentioned that the meat pies here were particularly delicious, so we came for a taste.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Liu laughed, \"I’ve spent a lifetime making them, and opinions vary. Young lady, try it for yourself and you’ll know.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuanyuan really waited an hour to eat the beef pies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s just like I remembered. I’ll have a bowl of cold noodles too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tan Shaoting laughed and went to prepare. Seeing his wife eat so sweetly, he had tasted it as well—finding the flavor ordinary, nothing like what she described.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as long as she was happy, that was enough. Seeing her this way made him feel happy too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After eating, the elder specifically came out to ask, \"Young lady, how was it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Delicious, truly delicious.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old Liu smiled and nodded, \"Glad you enjoyed it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two left the restaurant, \"Is there anywhere else you’d like to go?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuanyuan shook her head, \"No, this place leaves the deepest impression on me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuanyuan knew she was only here for nostalgia. Just being able to come once was an unexpected joy. Retracing her old paths was a stroke of luck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So much had changed in these decades, naturally, things would be different.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuanyuan called her daughter, who was accompanying her two younger brothers at the mall’s children’s playground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The couple didn’t hurry back, wandering around and finding the crowd quite interesting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the local dialect gave Yuanyuan a sense of belonging. After all, she had lived here for twenty years; no other place could compare to this familiarity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If the kids have had enough fun by tomorrow, shall we leave then?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There’s nowhere else you’d like to visit?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuanyuan shook her head with a smile, \"No, there are no ties left here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1187,"2026-06-06T00:15:57.646Z",1,"novelbin.me","d154c99f3e2f4b3ee09625009cc7a84c8bbf43f13336d2235d3fb45a686499a3","reborn-with-a-space-building-a-fortune-amidst-fa-chapter-1291","reborn-with-a-space-building-a-fortune-amidst-fa-chapter-1289",1428,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Freborn-with-a-space-building-a-fortune-amidst-fa-cover.jpg"]
