302 Pick Her Up Tomorrow

Sister Mei watched Le Yao go downstairs and quickly prepared breakfast.

“Sister Mei, you don’t have to cook. I’ll eat in the shop.” Le Yao waved her hand and walked out.

In the courtyard, Shuo Shuo was running happily on the grassland with little Gold Bean, his face full of smiles.

Le Yao felt a sense of accomplishment as she watched the little guy become more and more cheerful.

“Lan, let me send you to the shop.” Han Xiangdong was watering the flowers and plants in the courtyard with Han Baozhu. When he saw Le Yao come out, he hurriedly put down the water pipe.

“There’s no need for that now.” Le Yao waved her hand. “You’ve just obtained your driver’s license. It’s best if you get Brother Shen or Brother Yuan to be your practice partner when you’re free. We’ll talk after you’re done practicing. Don’t be a road killer.”

Han Xiangdong smiled and scratched his head. “Alright.”

At this moment, Shen Yi had already driven over.

Le Yao got into the car and went to the shop.

Le Yao’s Gourmet Hut opened at ten in the morning every day, but in the two days since it opened, there were always people queuing up at half past nine, making everyone very helpless.

After working all morning, Le Yao went home for lunch at noon. In the afternoon, because Zheng Ruyu was coming over, she went back early. She did not need to be at the shop all the time.

As they were eating, Liu Sujuan received a call from her eldest sister, Liu Su’e, saying that their family would come to Xiling City tomorrow.

Liu Su’e’s daughter, Zhou Yulan, had taken the college entrance examination this year and was accepted by Xiling Teachers’ College. She would report to school tomorrow.

“Mom, I’ll get Shen Yi to pick them up. Anyway, we have a car at home.” Le Yao thought for a moment. It was still a long way from Hetao Village to the county city. It would take about half an hour to walk out of the village. Then, she would wait for a passing bus on the road. It would be quite difficult to transfer to Xiling after reaching the county city.

“Will this be too troublesome?” Liu Sujuan’s eyes lit up.

“What’s the trouble?” Le Yao called Shen Yi and Yuan Bin over and asked them to go to Hetao Village to pick them up tomorrow. “There’s a seven-seater business car in the garage at Lijing Apartments. Drive that car.”

The two of them agreed without another word.

“Thank you so much.” Liu Sujuan thanked them sincerely.

“Aunt, don’t be like this. I’m paid a high salary. It’s only right for me to do some work.” Shen Yi hurriedly waved his hand.

“That’s right. Otherwise, we would be embarrassed if we were always idle.” Yuan Bin nodded.

“I still have to thank you. This way, they won’t have such a difficult time coming over.” Liu Sujuan hurriedly called her sister. “Sis, just wait at home. Lan will get the chauffeur to pick you up… They know the place. I’ll tell them your number and call you when we arrive…”

“Mom, it’s rare for big aunt and big aunt to come here. Let them stay here for a few more days,” Le Yao suggested. “They can try my cooking.”

“We’ll talk about it tomorrow.” Liu Sujuan was really happy for her sister. “That girl, Yulan, has been studying well since she was young. Now that she passed the teacher’s examination, your big aunt won’t have anything on her mind. She’s a young lady. When she graduates and becomes a teacher in school in the future, she’ll have a cradle-to-grave job. Moreover, many men now like to find teachers, doctors, and civil servants for wives. Her future definitely won’t be bad.”

“How can there be nothing on her mind?” Han Xiangdong pursed his lips. “Don’t we still have Kui? That kid’s studies are bad. Big aunt and uncle are most worried about him.”
