"Hey... Not bad!" Mrs. Zhen truly hadn’t expected Han Youliang to say such a thing! Although she wasn’t ready to completely let go of her prejudice against him, she did revise her opinion of him quite a bit. She got somewhat emotional and exclaimed, "Now I can say I’ve made a name for myself around the entrance of First High School. Whether it’s the path my daughter has paved or the connections my son has made, in any case, I’ve got some face in the neighborhood!" "That’s right, that’s right!" Mr. Han chimed in a couple of times. "It’s all good, Old Cheng! Not to mention the far-off, right in front of us, we’re still here, aren’t we! Or are you saying that once you’re away from the town, you won’t keep in touch with friends from there?!" Mrs. Han intentionally made it sound serious. "No way!" Mrs. Zhen immediately denied, "Would I be the kind of person to ignore old friends?" It wasn’t until she saw the teasing look in Mrs. Han’s eyes that Mrs. Zhen realized she was being had. "You!" With this interruption, Mrs. Zhen’s mood lightened, and she shifted to talking about business. "You are a bit late in looking to buy a house! I only found out after getting to know Old Gu that he had just taken over this restaurant right after the New Year! It was for the convenience of his daughter’s schooling! Had I known earlier," "Ah?! If we had known earlier, we could’ve been neighbors!" Mrs. Han’s face showed genuine surprise, and Mr. Han also looked regretful. "Exactly! But don’t worry, there are so many buildings and shops in this area! There will always be some for sale!" Mrs. Zhen consoled earnestly. "Yep! After we finish eating, I’ll go out with Old Han for a walk, look around the nearby streets, and make some inquiries." "Wait for the evening! I’ll call a few local friends, and we can sit down for dinner and chat. That way, they can help with the search too!" "We should be the ones to treat then!" Mrs. Han immediately said. "That won’t do! We are in Qi City now; I am the landlord here!" Mrs. Zhen argued strongly, "If you want to treat, wait until you’ve bought the house and host a thank you dinner for me!" "Deal! It’s settled!" Mrs. Han, being generous, sealed the agreement on the spot. The wontons were quickly served, and the three children listened to the adults’ conversation while eating. Mrs. Zhen and the Han Family couple saw that all the dishes were on the table and began eating, continuing their conversation. "Some people playing games in my store, they don’t want to leave even when it’s mealtime! They’re afraid their machine will be taken by someone else and they’ll have to queue up again! But if they don’t leave, they get hungry! At first, they made do with some snacks from my little counter. Later, I don’t know which one of them realized there was a wonton shop next door, so they would have the internet café manager come over here to order a bowl of wontons for them. It’s close and convenient! Little Gu’er would deliver it directly, and then go back in the evening to collect the bowls. Sometimes, people even settle the bill for the wontons at my place, and I would send the money over to Old Gu. Our two families, hahaha... we can be considered as benefiting mutually!" "Takeout... So there was already something back then..." Zhen Yu blinked, surprised to find out that takeout started ! "Take... out..." Could she possibly glean a business opportunity from this? Unfortunately for Zhen Yu, she mumbled a bit too loudly and was overheard by Mrs. Zhen, "What takeout? Where are you planning to sell to? Hurry up and eat! Even food won’t shut you up!" Zhen Yu pouted her lips and dared not utter another word. Fine! When adults are talking, it’s better for a child like her to keep out of it! After lunch, the Han Family couple asked Mrs. Zhen about the location of the guest house and really went out to look for a house. Mrs. Zhen took her daughter and the Han Family Brothers back to the gaming hall. Downstairs was filled with players, and all the seats were occupied. As the hostess, Mrs. Zhen couldn’t very well have Han Mingyue and Han Jiayang just standing on the first floor, so she gave her daughter a warning look and let her take the two brothers upstairs. "Are you tired? If you’re tired, take a nap," Zhen Yu pointed to the double bed in the master bedroom and asked. Han Jiayang, clever as he was, didn’t even need his brother’s hint and darted in, sat on the edge of the bed, and began to take off his shoes. "I’m tired, I want to take a nap! You guys talk!" Han Mingyue, receiving his brother’s clear hint: "..." Somewhat blushing, but more than that, secretly pleased. After all, he might not see Zhen Yu for a whole year, so he really wanted to spend more time alone with her. Han Jiayang had already sprawled out on the big bed, but Han Mingyue was still standing beside her. Although Zhen Yu felt a bit uncomfortable, she still openly let Han Mingyue into her bedroom. "Have a seat." Zhen Yu pointed to the only chair in front of the desk. Han Mingyue obediently sat down, and then... saw the English materials and CDs that Zhen Yu had just bought. "This is... Level Four and Six? What does that mean?" Han Mingyue, only with a junior high diploma, naturally couldn’t possibly know what the English Level Four and Six exams were, but he could see that these were all test papers. "Level Four and Six are English proficiency exams. The lowest is Level Four and above that is Level Six. Once you pass the exam, you get a certificate, just like the diploma we receive upon graduating from junior high." "Are you going to take it?" "I don’t qualify to take it now! I’m just planning to use the summer to improve my English levels," Zhen Yu honestly revealed without evading. "And these CDs?" Han Mingyue held up "First Blood" with his hand, "Why are they grouped with the materials?" "Watching English movies can help improve English listening and speaking skills. I suggest you buy some to watch at home too." Han Mingyue fell silence for a moment, "Xiao Yu! Don’t you think I’m... too ignorant?" Zhen Yu didn’t immediately say ’no!’ Instead, she pondered for a while, then said solemnly, "Listen to these two sentences and tell me what’s different!" "Go ahead!" Han Mingyue straightened his back and listened intently. "One’s birth determines their family education and the material aspects they come into contact with, but it doesn’t determine the path of their life." "One’s breadth of mind determines the size of their mindset, their thinking, and the width of their vision, and ultimately, it also determines the heights of their life." Zhen Yu recited these well-known future sayings as if she were doing poetry reading, and after listening, Han Mingyue was immersed in them for a few seconds. Zhen Yu didn’t interrupt him. Good articles and sentences can indeed cleanse the soul; in her previous life, Zhen Yu especially liked to read this type of beautiful prose and phrases, always deeply moved. "Xiao Yu! Can you write them down? I want to make them my motto!" After a while, Han Mingyue looked up at Zhen Yu and said. Zhen Yu nodded, "Of course! Wait a moment! I’ll find a new notebook to give you!"
