After four years of living alone after marrying far away, he went back to his parents' home and

Chen Mo did not refute Lan Yujuan's words.

He simply picked up his daughter silently, then freed one hand to hold Lan Yujuan's hand, and headed straight for the cafeteria.

At first, Lan Yujuan was somewhat distracted because of what had just happened.

The further I went, the more something felt off.

"Wait a minute, how did you know our school cafeteria is here?" Lan Yujuan stopped at the cafeteria entrance and turned to ask curiously.

Chen Mo raised an eyebrow and calmly said, "Before I came, I specifically looked at a map of your school."

"I memorized it without even realizing it."

Lan Yujuan looked at him with a puzzled expression, her mind racing with thoughts:

This morning, the two of them finalized their plans for the day.

So, when exactly did he look at the map?

"Let's go, stop thinking about it!"

Chen Mo led her inside, suppressing a laugh as he said, "The campus isn't very big to begin with, and its design follows a certain pattern, plus there are signs at the intersections."

"Even if I don't look at the map beforehand, finding the cafeteria shouldn't be too difficult, right?"

Lan Yujuan thought about it again and realized that it made sense!

During summer vacation, not many food stalls are open in the school cafeteria.

After the three entered the cafeteria, Lan Yujuan subconsciously led the other two towards the familiar window.

"Three servings of rice, please!"

Lan Yujuan said to the window while paying the bill.

Soon, three plates were handed out from the window, each containing a serving of rice.

Of the entire row of cafeteria windows, only three were open during the summer vacation.

One of them is for serving rice, and the other two are for serving vegetables.

The two food serving windows are also different.

One is a common, inexpensive dish, such as stir-fried shredded potatoes, stir-fried green beans, stir-fried eggplant, potatoes, and green peppers, and stir-fried tomatoes with eggs.

The other window looked even more abundant, with braised pork belly, braised fish, and various stir-fried vegetables with pork belly. Not only was there a good balance of meat and vegetables, but the colors of the dishes also made them more appetizing.

Chen Mo glanced at it only once, and without much hesitation, walked straight to the meat dish window.

When Lan Yujuan passed the middle window for affordable vegetables, she paused for a moment, and then followed Chen Mo to another window.

University cafeterias are always exceptionally affordable.

The family of three had a hearty meal, almost entirely consisting of meat dishes, and the total cost was less than twenty yuan.

While eating in the cafeteria, Lan Yujuan kept her head down and ate quietly, appearing unusually silent.

"Mom, what's wrong?"

Even the little one next to her noticed that something was wrong. He picked up a beautiful piece of braised pork from his bowl and put it into his mother's bowl, and couldn't help but ask her with concern.

Lan Yujuan looked at the braised pork piled on top of the rice, suddenly came to her senses, and then gave a bitter smile.

"It's nothing, I just remembered some things from the past and realized how silly I was back then!"

Back then, she felt sorry for Liu Zhiyuan's poor family conditions and how difficult life was for them.

So even though she had enough money for living expenses, she always followed Liu Zhiyuan and only ate the cheap dishes in the middle, rarely going to the side window to get the better dishes.

She remembered one time when she was craving something sweet, and when she came to the cafeteria with her roommate, she bought a fish on her own.

As luck would have it, they ran into Liu Zhiyuan and his roommate coming down for dinner.

Those who could get along with Liu Zhiyuan were basically a small group of classmates from similar family backgrounds and with good academic performance.

When they saw her, they took the initiative to bring their food and put it on the same table.

That time, when Lan Yujuan looked at the fish on her plate and then at the stir-fried potato shreds in Liu Zhiyuan's bowl, she felt extremely upset.

Since that incident, Lan Yujuan has almost never bought fish to eat alone at school. This behavior makes her feel from the bottom of her heart that it is a betrayal of Liu Zhiyuan.

She wanted to give some of the living expenses she had saved to Liu Zhiyuan.

But Liu Zhiyuan, out of consideration for his reputation, never accepted them.

So, Lan Yujuan came up with another idea: because her sister-in-law Liu Zhifang often asked Liu Zhiyuan for money, she secretly added Liu Zhifang's contact information.

She would send her a portion of the living expenses she saved.

At the time, Liu Zhiyuan was actually aware of the matter, but chose to turn a blind eye.

"Mom, are you regretting it?"

Lan Xiaoman tilted her head and asked seriously.

The little one didn't understand what his mother was recalling about the past.

But she knew that her mother's expression when recalling those events didn't seem happy.

Lan Yujuan's previously muddled mind instantly cleared up after hearing her daughter's words.

Do you regret it?

Looking at her adorable daughter beside her, Lan Yujuan smiled firmly and said, "Of course I don't regret it!"

"If it weren't for that past, how could God have given me such a lovely baby daughter?"

When Lan Yujuan said those words, she was truly at peace.

After spending the whole morning wandering around, it seemed pointless to continue.

The three of them ate their meal and then began to discuss where to go in the afternoon.

After discussion, the family of three unanimously decided to go to a nearby orchard in the afternoon to pick peaches!

The afternoon sun gradually grew hot.

Because it had rained the night before, Taoyuan was stuffy and damp, and you'd step into a muddy mess as soon as you entered.

However, the peaches picked fresh from the orchard are indeed big, sweet, and beautiful, much better than those bought from fruit shops outside!

Right next to the orchard, there are courier services that specialize in sending fruit.

The three of them picked quite a lot, and Lan Yujuan bought several more boxes separately and shipped them directly back to Xiangnan by air. Several close relatives and friends each received some.

Before I knew it, the day to return to southern Hunan was fast approaching.

Exactly the day before their flight, both Lan Yujuan and Chen Mo received invitations from their university alumni group.

It turns out that the school was planning to hold a school anniversary celebration during the summer vacation.

The notification was sent to almost all alumni groups.

Lan Yujuan was not interested in such activities and originally did not plan to go.

Unexpectedly, the administrator teacher in the alumni group who had played basketball with Chen Mo learned of Chen Mo's identity by accident and specially invited Lan Yujuan and Chen Mo to be special guests at the school anniversary celebration.
