Rebirth Must Be Happy

"Hey, what kind of wedding car do you like?"

After dropping the three off on the side of the road, Xu Jinhuan turned around and went home, smiling as he asked Chen Xingzhu, "I think this car is actually quite nice."

"I do not want to answer."

Chen Xingzhu knew that he was using Hu Yingxin's words as a pretext to tease her, so she put on a stern face to show that she would get angry too.

If I don't get angry, he'll think I'm easy to bully and will keep bullying me...

"smell good!"

As soon as they arrived at their doorstep, the two smelled a delicious aroma coming from inside the house. Xu Jinhuan smiled and said, "It must be dumplings, with chive and egg filling!"

Chen Xingzhu sniffed as well: "It seems like there's still meat in it..."

"You two are pretty good at timing things, aren't you?"

Song Zhiyu came out of the kitchen carrying a bowl of dumplings. Seeing the two of them return, she puffed out her cheeks and huffed, "It was my idea, and I even helped wrap them!"

Xu Jinhuan laughed and said, "Then pick them out for me later, and I'll try them."

“The ones I wrapped are the same as the ones my aunt wrapped and the ones my sister Wanqing wrapped, I can’t tell the difference.”

Song Zhiyu was very proud. She put the bowl on the table and asked, "Sister Xingzhu, can you wrap dumplings?"

"will not."

Chen Xingzhu shook his head.

"I'll teach you next time."

Song Zhiyu was even happier and turned to continue helping in the kitchen, saying, "You guys go wash your hands."

Xie Wanqing also brought out a bowl, and Xu Jinhuan looked at her questioningly, indicating that he was skeptical of Song Zhiyu's words.

Xie Wanqing didn't say anything, but smiled without showing her teeth.

Xu Jinhuan and Chen Xingzhu immediately realized that Song Zhiyu was "mixing wine in water" (a Chinese idiom meaning to smear or deceive), and that her words were mostly false. The most likely truth was that she was indeed the first to suggest eating dumplings, and she did make them, but as for how they were made like everyone else's, it was impossible to tell...

I thought the Xiaomi 8 was the same as the iPhone X!

Xu Jinhuan and Chen Xingzhu washed their hands and returned. Xu Haiguang put down two bowls of condiments and said, "Eat quickly."

"These are the ones that came out of the pot first, with chive and egg filling, and these are the ones that were just taken out, with pork and scallion filling."

Song Xiaohui advised, "Eat whichever you like."

"It's been a while since I've had it, and it still smells quite good."

Xu Jinhuan dipped the dumplings in the sauce and ate four or five in a row before smacking his lips in praise. Then he picked up a strange-looking dumpling and asked with a smile, "Is this a steamed bun?"

Chen Xingzhu looked at it curiously and saw that it did indeed look like a dumpling, with pinch marks, but it looked more like a dough ball, like a beginner's work.

The eyes of everyone at the table instinctively turned to Song Zhiyu.

The little girl blushed slightly, but still smiled sweetly and said, "Try it, is it good?"

"..."

Xu Jinhuan forced a smile and said, "Can I not eat?"

"no!"

Song Zhiyu said angrily, "It's in your bowl, what are you going to do if you don't eat it? Isn't that a waste of food?"

"Ugh."

Xu Jinhuan sighed, took a bite under the watchful eyes of everyone at the table, and only after biting deep did she feel the filling. The taste was normal, but the skin was a bit thick. "Why are there two layers of skin?"

Xu Jinhuan took a closer look and noticed that the dumpling was wrapped in a skin, so he asked Song Zhiyu, "Aren't you worried it won't hold its shape?"

"I accidentally broke it a little bit."

Song Zhiyu pinched her slender, white fingertips to show that the tear was very, very small. "I was afraid it would overcook, so to be on the safe side, I wrapped it up with another layer... See, it's not torn, is it?"

"It's definitely not broken."

Xu Jinhuan barely managed to finish the "double-layered dumpling," then ate half a bowl more. After eating and drinking his fill, he picked his teeth with a toothpick.

"Hey, have you guys noticed something?"

He suddenly had a thought and asked the others who had already eaten, "It seems like the information about different parts of the human body isn't transparent. My tongue knows which teeth have chives, but my hands can't find them..."

Xu Haiguang said, "You'll find it if you try a few more times."

"I was just expressing my feelings."

Xu Jinhuan pursed her lips, noticing that neither Chen Xingzhu nor Xie Wanqing were picking their teeth, and asked curiously, "Don't you have any leeks in your teeth?"

The two of them rolled their eyes at him and didn't answer.

After helping to tidy up the dishes and chairs, the two girls quickly went upstairs to rest. Xu Jinhuan was also preparing to go back to sleep, but Song Zhiyu followed him, holding the cat and standing at the door of the room, staring at him.

"What's wrong?"

Xu Jinhuan had gradually gotten used to her obedient younger sister persona and no longer subconsciously felt that she was going to cause trouble, so she asked with a smile.

"Brother, how much money will you earn in the future?"

Song Zhiyu blinked and asked with an innocent look, "Is it possible for you to buy a house with a swimming pool in the future?"

"You want to go swimming?" Xu Jinhuan looked her up and down. "Then why don't we just go to the pool?"

"No, I want to raise fish."

Song Zhiyu's answer almost made Xu Jinhuan vomit blood: "If we have a swimming pool at home, I'll keep the fish we caught before and raise them. I won't eat them all. That way, Xiaoguai might learn to swim and catch fish too. That would be so much fun..."

Xu Jinhuan rolled her eyes and said, "A fish tank only costs a few dozen yuan. Do you really need to buy a villa with a swimming pool?"

"Then a swimming pool is more fun."

Song Zhiyu puffed out her cheeks, "Chen Xingruo's family has a swimming pool... When Uncle Chen was your age, he definitely wasn't as amazing as you, right?"

She blinked her eyes and clenched her little fists in encouragement. Little Guai reached out its paws to pry at her fists and tried to bite them, but Song Zhiyu ignored it and continued to encourage her, "You have to believe in yourself. You'll definitely be able to earn that much money in the future..."

As if she had thought of something, she tilted her head and deliberately tempted, "If you buy a house with a swimming pool, I'll definitely find a way to trick Sister Wanqing into going swimming, how about that?"

"Am I that kind of person?"

Xu Jinhuan, filled with righteous indignation, thought to himself: 'Just mentioning Xie Wanqing isn't enough; we should at least drag Chen Xingzhu into it too, right?'

"Yes!"

Song Zhiyu snorted, then asked with a grin, "Have you seen Sister Xingzhu's swimsuit photos?"

Xu Jinhuan asked, "Have you seen it?"

"Yup!"

Song Zhiyu waved her phone. "I have it on my phone. Although it's Xingruo's swimsuit photo, it's practically Xingzhu's too. Anyway, they look exactly alike, right?"

Why are you telling me this?

Xu Jinhuan pouted, "I'm not the kind of person who peeks at other people's private photos. That's immoral!"

"Tell me your phone password, and I'll tell you mine, okay?"

Song Zhiyu pursed her lips, revealing a glimpse of her pearly white teeth between her pink lips, and winked mischievously, continuing to tempt her, "I have a lot of photos on my phone!"

"Don't change!"

Xu Jinhuan refused without hesitation. What a joke! One is personal desire, the other is life and death. He wasn't controlled by Xiao Tou. Couldn't he tell which was more important?
"I won't convert it."

Song Zhiyu snorted, closed his door, turned and left. Then she opened the door again, poked her little head in, and reminded him, "Don't forget to buy a house with a swimming pool."

It's not like I don't want to buy it...

Xu Jinhuan pursed her lips, lay down to sleep, and after waking up and washing up, went out to drive Chen Xingzhu to school. Looking at the bright sun and pedestrians outside the car window, her comfort level instantly increased by 50%...

When is your studio opening?

Chen Xingzhu asked on the way, "Are you going by yourself?"

"No need, just mail the documents."

Xu Jinhuan knew that she was more worried about it affecting her studies, so she focused on the key point and replied, "I basically leave everything to my cousin. I just let him handle things. If all else fails, there's always Sister Wanqing. She's my assistant."

"Ah."

Chen Xingzhu nodded. "Then you're going to participate in the competition. Wanqing will be with you. Where will she stay?"

“The organizers arranged a hotel, but it shouldn’t be in the same hotel as us participants.”

Xu Jinhuan still accurately grasped the key points to avoid arousing her suspicion, "Besides, there will be school teachers present, who will accompany us the whole time."

It meant that she could rest assured that although they would be away for ten days, nothing strange would happen between him and Xie Wanqing.

"That's good."

It's unclear whether Chen Xingzhu understood what Xu Jinhuan meant, but she seemed quite relieved.

"buzzing"

Upon arriving at the school, the two had just gotten out of the car and hadn't even taken a few steps towards the teaching building when Xu Jinhuan's phone suddenly vibrated. He picked it up, only to find it was an unfamiliar number.

"Hello."

"I am Teacher Zhuang."

"Hello, Teacher Zhuang."

Xu Jinhuan immediately changed her form of address, "I don't have your number saved... Why are you looking for me?"

"Where are you?"

"Just arrived at school."

"That's good."

Zhuang Cheng'an seemed relieved, and said with a hint of joy, "A few days ago, some foreign media reported on you. Did you know about this?"

"Yes, I know, I saw it."

"..."

Zhuang Cheng'an clearly hadn't expected this answer. He paused for a moment, then said, "The school suddenly notified us that Yilin magazine saw the foreign media reports about you online and is very interested in you, so they want to interview you."

"Uh……"

Xu Jinhuan fell silent for a moment. "Teacher Zhuang, can I refuse?" (End of Chapter)
