I will die early and cannon fodder. I will enjoy great blessings after marrying a sick man.

The light was like a burning flame, as if it would burn away all injustice.

It was not until he heard Shen Yanqing say that the other parent admitted his mistake that Chu Dazhuang's expression improved a little.

"That kid is too..." Chu Dazhuang wanted to scold Wang Shujun, but Chu Dazhuang, who was simple by nature, could not say anything serious or harsh to a child who was only a few years old.

His words stopped abruptly, and he just pounded the sofa angrily.

The fist landed on the sofa with a dull sound, as if it was also an outlet for his inner anger.

Chu Dazhuang stroked his hair irritably and said, "If En Yao's mother wasn't in poor health, I would never leave my daughter to be taken care of by others."

His voice was full of helplessness and guilt. As a father, he blamed himself for not being able to be with his daughter all the time.

Thinking that this school was opened by his two brothers-in-law, Shen Yanqing felt somewhat guilty and said, "After talking about it yesterday, the teacher also promised to take this issue seriously. I believe it will not happen again in the future."

"I hope so!" Chu Dazhuang smiled at Shen Yanqing and said, "I really want to thank Brother Shen and your children yesterday."

Shen Yanqing gently shook his head and said with a smile: "Why bother to thank me? We are neighbors, and it is only natural for us to help each other."

Upon hearing this, Chu Dazhuang's hearty laughter instantly rang out, "Hahaha, Brother Shen is right, a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. I have made up my mind to be your brother. If you have any problems in the future, just call me."

"Okay." Shen Yanqing responded with a smile.

Chu Dazhuang and Shen Yanqing chatted happily for a while before getting up to leave. He walked to Shen Yanqing with big strides, patted Shen Yanqing on the shoulder, and said, "Brother Shen, I'll go back first. Let's talk again when we have time."

Shen Yanqing hurriedly sent him to the door, stood there quietly, watched him enter his home, then turned around and went back into the house.

As soon as Shen Yanqing returned to the living room, he saw that Song Manman had also gotten up and was walking slowly towards him, rubbing her sleepy eyes.

Her hair was a little messy, and one of the buttons on her pajamas was buttoned wrong. She looked a little confused and cute, just like a kitten that just woke up, with a bit of playfulness in her laziness.

"Who was it just now?" Song Manman asked while yawning, her voice still full of sleepiness. The voice was soft, as if with a hint of coquettishness.

Shen Yanqing walked up to her, eyes full of doting, and gently scratched her nose, "It's Brother Chu, come to ask about the children being bullied at school yesterday."

Song Manman suddenly became more sober. "Oh, so that's how it is. Did you explain it clearly?"

Shen Yanqing nodded and said, "It's all clear now. Brother Chu didn't say anything more after hearing that the kid admitted his fault."

"Alas, this kind of thing is unavoidable in basically every school, but we should strictly deal with this matter and try our best to eliminate this bad atmosphere." Song Manman frowned, with a hint of worry and determination in her tone.

"Well! Let's have breakfast first!"

After that, the two walked into the kitchen together and started preparing breakfast.

Shen Yanqing continued to pull the dough that he had not pulled well just now, while Song Manman stood by and helped.

After a while, a bowl of steaming and fragrant shredded pork noodles came out of the pot.

The noodles are chewy and smooth, and every strand seems to tell of the owner's careful attention.

A poached egg was added, which was fried to perfection, with slightly browned edges and the yolk just solidified, presenting an attractive color.

Shen Yanqing also sprinkled some chopped green onions on the top. The green chopped green onions dotted the surface, making it look extremely tempting.

After breakfast, Shen Yanqing and Song Manman wrote a note and left it on the table and decided to go out for a walk.

Today, the task of sending the children to school was Song Shi and Tang Yao's, so Song Manman and Shen Yanqing were happy and relaxed.

Whether it's cooking or picking up the children, the Song family takes turns.

Yesterday, Song Manman was responsible for picking up and dropping off the children, while Song Shi and Tang Yao were responsible for breakfast. Today, it was the other way around.

The sun is shining and the breeze is blowing. The gentle breeze is like a mother's hand, gently caressing your cheek.

The two did not drive, but walked hand in hand in an old alley not far from their home, enjoying this rare leisure time.

The old alley is full of stories. The branches and leaves of the old locust tree at the entrance of the alley sway in the wind, emitting a faint fragrance. The fragrance seems to carry the traces of time and makes people intoxicated.

Each leaf is like a symbol of memory, recording every bit of the past.

At the entrance of the alley sat a group of old people and children playing and fighting. The rustling sounds added a lot of life to this old alley.

Some of the old people were playing chess, arguing anxiously about who won; some were chatting and talking about family matters.

Children were laughing and playing nearby, their laughter as clear as silver bells, echoing in this ancient alley.

Walking out of the alley, Song Manman pointed to the coffee shop across the street and said, "That newly opened coffee shop seems good, do you want to try it?"

"Okay." Looking in the direction of Song Manman's finger, Shen Yanqing responded without hesitation.

Shen Yanqing held Song Manman's hand and walked into the coffee shop. The decoration in the store was different from Song Manman's coffee shop, with a hint of luxury. The decoration of this coffee shop was simple and warm.

The walls are painted in warm beige, giving people a warm and comfortable feeling, as if being in a warm embrace.

The lighting is soft and comfortable, illuminating every corner just right.

Next to each table is a row of bookshelves filled with a wide variety of books. Compared to a cafe, this looks more like a bookstore.

There are many types of books, ranging from literary classics to science fiction.

Song Manman took Shen Yanqing to find a seat by the window and ordered two cups of lattes and some desserts.

The sunlight outside shines through the window onto them, forming spots of light, which are like golden butterflies dancing on their bodies.

"This coffee shop is so special!" Feeling the exceptionally quiet atmosphere in the store, Song Manman couldn't help but lower her voice and whispered to Shen Yanqing.

There was surprise and curiosity on her face and her eyes were looking around.

Shen Yanqing looked around at the people around him, frowned in confusion, and whispered, "Those guests are all reading."

Shen Yanqing's eyes were full of doubts, however, after this moment of doubt, Shen Yanqing was gradually infected by this quiet and focused atmosphere, and the restlessness in his heart gradually subsided.
