Chapter 656 It Is the Most Stupid to Pin Your Hopes on Men
Chapter 656: Placing your hopes on men is the stupidest behavior
It was already 4 o'clock in the afternoon when Shao Mo left Xie's house. Not only had they negotiated the cooperation on two mooncakes, Lotus Seed Paste and Liu Xin, but they had also received an order of Ronghua RMB 80,000 for next year.
Thirty thousand of them are Dragon Boat Festival rice dumpling boxes, and the other fifty thousand are additional Mid-Autumn Festival gift boxes.
This is enough to show that Luo Xuelan is very confident about the launch of the two new flavored mooncakes, Lotus Paste and Liuxin.
Back in the courtyard, Ling Chunhua was playing a house painting game with a strange little girl in the yard.
Seeing her coming back, Ling Chunhua ran up happily, "Auntie, you're back!"
Shao Mo rubbed her head, "Well, where is your uncle?"
"Uncle went out this morning and hasn't come back yet."
"Then what did you eat for lunch?"
"I ate at Xiaoyan's house, their steamed corn buns and eggplant and braised green beans."
Upon hearing this, Shao Mo subconsciously looked towards the little girl standing in the yard.
The other party clasped her hands cautiously and looked at her unblinkingly with a pair of dark eyes.
"Little Yanzi, come here, this is my aunt."
It wasn't until she heard Ling Chunhua's greeting that the little girl came over shyly and called her "aunt" softly.
Shao Mo smiled at the other party and nodded, "Hello, your name is Xiaoyanzi, right? I won't be at home at noon. Thank you for taking care of my Chunhua."
Xu Yan waved her hand quickly, "You're welcome."
Shao Mo took out two packs of some snacks brought back from Xie's house and gave one pack to each of Ling Chunhua and Xu Yan.
"Take it and eat it."
"Thank you, aunt!"
"Thank you, aunt."
The snacks given by Luo Xuelan were all rare items on the market. The two little girls stopped playing games and sat in front of the stone table chattering about the snacks in their hands.
Ling Chunhua said happily, "Mine is dried cherries, what is yours?"
Xu Yan replied, "Mine are raisins."
Ling Chunhua looked over, her big round eyes full of curiosity, "Why are your raisins black? The raisins my dad bought me for the Chinese New Year are green."
Xu Yan shook her head, "I don't know."
She couldn't eat snacks like raisins in the countryside, so she came to the city to study, and she ate raisins for the first time after meeting Ling Chunhua.
Ling Chunhua grabbed a few dark red dried cherries and put them in Xu Yan's hand, "Let's eat them interchangeably, and you can give me some raisins too."
"good."
The two exchanged snacks and started eating happily.
"Hiss, these dried cherries are so sour, not as sweet as your raisins."
Hearing what Ling Chunhua said, Xu Yan grabbed a few more raisins from her snack bag and gave them to her.
Ling Chunhua smiled happily and grabbed some of her own dried cherries and gave them to the other party.
Shao Mo put down the contract and came out of the room. When he saw the two little girls having fun, he couldn't help but smile.
After thinking about it, she made a cup of hawthorn tea for each of them and brought it over.
"Don't eat too much to be careful of tooth decay. Remember to drink plenty of water after eating sweets to avoid getting angry."
"I know, Auntie."
After Shao Mo left, Xu Yan whispered to Ling Chunhua in a low voice.
"Chunhua, your aunt is so beautiful."
Ling Chunhua replied proudly: "Of course, my aunt is the most beautiful in the world."
Xu Yan nodded in agreement, "She's prettier than our art teacher."
The art teacher in their school is a newly graduated female college student with long shawl hair. She wears beautiful skirts, high heels, and lipstick every day. She is recognized by everyone as the most beautiful female teacher in the school.
"My aunt is not only good-looking, but she can also cook all kinds of delicious food. She also buys me beautiful clothes and shoes. You see, the leather shoes on my feet were bought by my aunt."
Xu Yan stared at the red leather shoes on Ling Chunhua's feet for a while, then looked at the blue cloth shoes on her own feet, with a very envious tone.
"Chunhua, your aunt is so kind to you. I wish my second aunt was half as nice as your aunt."
Xu Yan now lives in her second uncle's house. Her second aunt is a typical shrewd person who sees people and dishes. On the surface, she allows Xu Yan to live at home. She is also considerate and enthusiastic towards Ling Chunhua, the little girl from the opposite door, but secretly
However, she had many complaints and dissatisfaction with Xu Yan, often criticizing Sang and Huai for doing various things.
At this time, Ling Chunhua didn't understand the pain and sadness of her friend being left behind, so she said innocently: "Your second aunt is also very kind to you. She always prepares delicious meals for you."
Xu Yan thought to herself, that's because she behaves like this when you are around. She usually eats rice soaked in boiling water and pickles.
However, the little Xu Yan already has self-esteem and shame, and she is unwilling to show her unhappiness in front of her friends.
"My second aunt is okay, but not as good as your aunt."
Ling Chunhua smiled and patted her hand, comforting her and said, "It's okay. You can come over to play often in the future, and my aunt will be nice to you."
Xu Yan nodded gratefully.
After Shao Mo finished drawing two design drafts in the study, Bai Xue came to the door with her son in her arms.
After not seeing each other for more than a month, the red and wrinkled baby opened up like a balloon. It was as white and tender as a pink dumpling and kept babbling at Shao Mo.
Bai Xue gently coaxed her son in her arms while explaining apologetically: "Xiao Shitou has not been very comfortable these two days. I didn't want to go out, but you know Yun Shixian, as soon as I heard the news that you were returning to Jiang City,
Yes, you brought your things to my place at noon and asked me to come over."
With Yun Renxian's character as a businessman who can't bear to gain anything, it doesn't matter that she's in the capital. Now that she's back in Jiang City, she will definitely try her best to show her goodwill.
"Have you been to the doctor?"
"I've seen it, maybe I've caught a little cold, my spleen and stomach are weak and I can't digest well. I don't dare to take medicine casually at such a young age, so I can only nurse myself back to health slowly."
Shao Mo nodded in understanding.
Bai Xue left her son with the nanny to coax him outside, while she briefly told Shao Mo about the current situation of the Yun family.
"... Yun Shixian is really cruel. He sent his daughter to the guillotine with his own hands, but he himself behaves like a normal person, eating, drinking, and sleeping every day.
Mrs. Yun is not doing well recently. I heard that she hasn’t gone out for a while, and she didn’t even attend a birthday party. On Mrs. Yun’s birthday, Yun Shixian was still out socializing, so he came to sleep at my place that night."
Speaking of the latter part, Bai Xue's tone was ridiculing and sighing.
They have been married for twenty years, accompanying the man from scratch to his current glory, giving birth to children and running the family for him, but in the end they ended up like this.
So, it is the most stupid behavior for a woman to place her hopes and life on a man.
Shao Mo also felt a little emotional.
Think about last year, all the prominent people in Jiang City gathered at Yun's house to celebrate Jiang Yu's birthday. It was so lively and prosperous, but it only took one year to end up in the current miserable state.
It's no wonder that Jiang Yu doesn't leave home anymore. No woman would be in the mood to go out to socialize.
Little Shitou kept crying, and Bai Xue sat there for half an hour and then left in a hurry.
Shao Mo found an empty room to put the things that Bai Xue had brought.
She didn't know how to use Yun Shixian's things. The reason why she accepted them was just to make Bai Xue fall in Yun Renxian's fancy in this way.
She was too lazy to deal with Yun Shixian, but she didn't mind pushing Bai Xue.
