Rebirth in a Book: The Road to Breakthrough

"It's delicious, right? Haha, this time I specially added the malted milk you brought back. Once added, the flavor of the whole egg cake is directly elevated to a higher level." Yu Congcong shared her new discovery with Zhang Yun with great joy, her big eyes turning into crescents with smile.

"Oh, it's just that malted milk is so hard to buy, I don't dare to put too much." Yu Congcong sighed softly, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.

"Well, don't worry. I will definitely provide you with enough malted milk. I brought you two more bottles this time, so you can use them with confidence." Zhang Yun assured in a firm tone.

"Oh, Zhang Yun, you are so nice! In the future, if you want to eat egg cake, just tell me and I will make it for you!" Yu Congcong was so excited that she almost jumped up, her little face was red like a ripe apple.

Before Yu Congcong traveled through time, she always heard her grandmother talk about how fragrant and pure the malted milk of that era was. She didn't believe it at the time, and just thought that the era her grandmother lived in was too profound, so she had such a deep memory of the taste of malted milk.

Zhang Yun stared at Yu Congcong's rosy face, and he had an urge to take a bite. He realized that he was different, stood up quickly, and said, "I'll get you the malted milk and the payment for the goods this time." Then he ran out in a hurry.

Zhang Yun came to the bicycle and kept slapping his face hard, trying to adjust his panicked mentality.

Tiezhu has grown up, and is now 1.83 meters tall. He is very strong because of martial arts training, and has no extra fat. He has wheat-colored skin, which is in sharp contrast to Zhang Yun. Zhang Yun has a milky white skin that all girls envy, and he never gets tanned no matter how much he gets sunburned.

When Zhang Yun walked to the bicycle, Tiezhu happened to be coming back from get off work in the county. He ran straight to visit his future daughter-in-law whom he had not seen for a day.

Tiezhu was tall and straight. He stepped to Zhang Yun's side in a few steps and asked with concern: "Zhang Yun, what's wrong with you? Why did you hit yourself?"

Zhang Yun quickly smiled and explained, "It's okay, my face is just a little numb from the wind. Patting it can promote blood circulation."

"Oh, I'm here to see Congcong. How's your side? Is everything going well? Don't ship any goods during this period. The inspection is very strict. I heard that there is a second-generation official who wants to take over the black market in the county, and they are making room for him in the name of strict inspection. Let's not ship any goods recently. I will take action after they come to a conclusion." Tiezhu lowered his voice and revealed the latest situation to Zhang Yun.

"Well, okay. I just happen to be at home with Yaya recently."

"Yeah, that's right. You can't just ignore your family for the sake of money. You should also consider arranging your lifelong event."

Zhang Yun was startled when Tiezhu suddenly mentioned this topic. He thought Tiezhu had noticed his feelings for Yu Congcong, so he asked nervously, "Why are you talking about this all of a sudden?"

"You are not a child anymore. People of your age in the village have already married and had children, and their children are old enough to take care of the household chores. As your friend, isn't it normal for me to worry about your life-long affairs?" Tiezhu advised with some regret.

It turned out that it was because of his old age. Zhang Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's talk about it later! We'll get married when we meet the right person." Zhang Yun replied.

"Hey, you better take care of yourself. Let's go in!" Tiezhu had no other choice but to follow Zhang Yun to the main room.

Inside the room, Yu Congcong was sharing with Yaya and Yu Miaomiao what other delicious foods could be made with malted milk. The two little guys were almost drooling as they listened.

At this time, Tiezhu and Zhang Yun walked in. When Yu Congcong saw Tiezhu, she happily ran over to hug him and said, "You're back? Don't you have a day off tomorrow?"

"I miss you. I haven't seen you for a whole day." Tiezhu hugged Yu Congcong tightly and rubbed his chin gently on the top of her head.

Yu Congcong blushed with shame when she heard Tiezhu's words. Tiezhu didn't even consider the situation. Zhang Yun was still here! He just said whatever he wanted.

Zhang Yun turned his head away, not watching their interaction, and silently opened the backpack in his hand. This backpack was given to him by Yu Congcong, and he cherished it very much. He has used it for seven or eight years, and it is still intact.

Zhang Yun, have a piece of egg cake first, and we can settle the bill later, there is no rush." ​​Yu Congcong said hurriedly when she saw Zhang Yun was about to open his backpack.

"Tiezhu, do you want to eat egg cake?" Yu Congcong turned around and asked Tiezhu, holding an egg cake. For some reason, Tiezhu didn't like sweets much when he grew up, but he loved to eat candy when he was a child.

"Let me try yours and see if it's sweet." Tiezhu's eyes fell on the egg cake that Yu Congcong was eating and he spoke.

Yu Congcong didn't think much about it and handed him the egg cake naturally. They had been doing this since they were young, eating each other's saliva-stained food, and they didn't know how many times they had eaten it.

Tiezhu took a bite and said, "Hmm, very sweet and fragrant." Tiezhu looked at Yu Congcong while chewing the egg cake and said meaningfully.

Hearing Tiezhu's words, Yu Congcong's face suddenly turned red. She patted Tiezhu lightly, asking him to be more serious.

Zhang Yun wanted to escape from the scene, so he quickly ate the egg cake in his hand. Then he opened his backpack and took out the account book and money. He began to tell them about the profit and cost of the goods. Finally, the three of them divided the money, and Tiezhu's share was directly given to Yu Congcong.

After settling the bill, Zhang Yun gave the things he bought for Yu Congcong to her, and then took Yaya to go back.

"Let's eat first, the house is ready."

Liu Dani happened to be about to come over and invite them to dinner.

Zhang Yun and Yaya stayed for dinner before going home.

Tiezhu and Yu Congcong cuddled together after dinner. Tiezhu said softly, "Congcong, there are still two years."

"Ah?" Yu Congcong looked at Tiezhu with a puzzled look on her face.

"It will take another two years before I can marry you home." Tiezhu stared at lush face with an obsessed look in his eyes.

"What are you talking about? It's too early." Yu Congcong blamed coquettishly.

"Tiezhu, eight educated youth came to the village today." Yu Congcong quickly changed the subject.

"Oh, how are they?" Tiezhu asked while playing with his lush hair.

"From what I see, there are only two male comrades who are easy to get along with, and the others don't seem to be easy to deal with." Yu Congcong shared her views with Tiezhu.

"Oh, then stay away from them in the future, and don't let them hurt you by accident."
