Chapter 653: Chapter 653: What About Me?
For Candy, after a short period of happiness, it’s back to the boring life of daily repetition, where she can only find joy on her own.
The little one discovered that her brother and sister seemed to be getting busier. Especially her brother, who frequently ran to the No. 2 laboratory building. She went there once, only to find that there was nothing fun inside. The only amusing thing might have been sitting at the back of the conference hall with her brother, watching a bunch of bigwigs below argue loudly.
Occasionally when a verbal argument wasn’t enough, someone with a short temper would start throwing punches. Fortunately, everyone seemed accustomed to this phenomenon, and every time the fight seemed about to start, someone would separate them.
Her brother called this a brainstorming session. It’s really strange. Since it’s called brainstorming, shouldn’t it involve brains? Why are these uncles either arguing or starting a fight?
To solve the issue of school education for the children of the park’s employees, Mo Jingchun personally took Xia Xiaomin to the county education bureau. After some discussions, the result was a delight for everyone.
A small county that wasn’t very famous, wanting to retain talent, naturally couldn’t fall behind in educational resources.
Just in time, upon learning of Mo Jingchun’s visit, everyone hit it off immediately. The school, which had been experiencing a decline in student numbers, cleared out empty classrooms to prepare for the new students arriving in a month.
With the blazing sun, Candy stood at the entrance of the office building’s lobby, watching her brother walk towards the No. 2 laboratory building.
Going out is impossible, with such a big sun, even walking on the asphalt road burns your feet.
"Brother says the asphalt road is hot because black absorbs heat. Why not just lay out lawns over everything?"
"Let’s go, Little Grey, sister will take you on patrol."
"I remember there are spicy sticks on the third floor."
With Zhou Yaling’s small bag, Candy took Little Grey and started from the second floor, sweeping through each level for snacks. When she saw something she liked, she took some and put them into the bag, occasionally rewarding Little Grey with a sausage.
After the sweep, the not-so-small bag was packed to the brim.
In the afternoon, after work, Zhou Yaling, who was about to grab her bag and go home, was stunned by the snacks in it.
"How come there are so many snacks? Where did they come from?"
Sitting next to Zhou Yaling’s desk, someone giggled and said, "Didn’t you notice that Candy took your bag for a while today?"
"I saw when Candy brought the bag back, it was filled with snacks."
"I... didn’t notice."
Thinking about it, Zhou Yaling took all the snacks out of her bag and put them in the drawer.
If the elder brother sees so many snacks, he’ll definitely confiscate them all.
The reason is simple: Children are still growing, and they shouldn’t eat too many snacks.
Zhou Yaling could already imagine Candy’s gritted teeth under such circumstances.
It was at this moment that Candy came running into the office.
"Sister..."
Candy stopped abruptly, blinking as she watched her sister empty her bag.
"Take more if you need to eat."
"Okay!"
She came here to hide snacks anyway, so Candy naturally had no objections. The only downside was that her sister would also eat the snacks she had carefully selected.
On the way back, Mo Jingchun glanced at Candy’s bulging little belly, raising his eyebrow slightly.
"I wasn’t in the office this afternoon. What did you eat again? Look at your little belly, it’s bulging out under your clothes."
Candy took a deep breath, and her little belly instantly disappeared. The siblings stared at each other, neither speaking. As soon as Candy inhaled again, Mo Jingchun’s gaze would glance at her belly, bulging out once more, until Candy took another deep breath, and so on repeatedly.
Mo Jingchun was enjoying himself, but Zhou Yaling couldn’t bear to watch any longer.
"Alright, big brother, if you keep teasing her, she’s going to throw up everything she managed to eat."
Upon hearing this, Mo Jingchun looked rather resentfully at Zhou Yaling, who was speaking on behalf of Candy.
"I knew you two were in cahoots. Just admit it, you indulge Candy and let her eat so much."
Mo Jingchun pursed her lips, unwilling to take the blame.
"It’s not my fault."
"Really?"
Knowing that the bag was hers, Zhou Yaling hesitated for a moment and said, "Maybe I had a tiny bit of responsibility."
That night, Candy only ate half a bowl of rice, and this was after Zhou Yaling intentionally delayed dinner time by an hour.
As a result, Zhou Yaling again received a resentful look from her elder brother.
"I’m going to Anyang County tomorrow to check the construction site. Will you stay at the company with your sister, or do you want to come with me?"
"Let’s be clear, if you come with me, you’ll have to get up at seven, and there’s no air conditioning on the construction site, I might just get you a popsicle at most."
With both hands supporting her cheeks, Candy considered seriously for a long moment before nodding and saying, "I’ll go with brother."
Mo Jingchun reiterated, "Are you sure?"
"Mm-hmm!"
Having already played everywhere in the park, the construction site, while hot, wouldn’t necessarily be out in the sun.
Moreover...heh, she knows there’s air conditioning over there.
Feeling Zhou Yaling’s resentful gaze, Mo Jingchun helplessly spread his hands.
"There’s nothing I can do. Tomorrow you’ll have to take a taxi to the company. If it’s really necessary, you should consider taking some time to get a driver’s license. It’ll be more convenient for you to drive to work when I’m busy with something sometimes."
Rolling her eyes, still playing with her phone, Zhou Yaling said, "We’ll see. I’ve been quite busy lately."
"Besides, I think the little electric scooter suits me better."
"I’m prone to motion sickness, so I shouldn’t drive."
"That’s where you’re wrong. Many people who get carsick actually don’t feel dizzy at all when they drive themselves because their attention is focused on the road."
The next morning, alone, Zhou Yaling decided to sleep in and buy breakfast a little later.
Covered with a large quilt and blowing the air conditioner, Zhou Yaling turned over and continued sleeping, while at the same time, Mo Jingchun and his group, taking Candy on a long trip, had already gotten on the highway, expecting to exit in half an hour, and reach their destination in an hour and a half.
Half an hour later, after getting off the highway and entering the country road, Mo Jingchun noticeably felt the difference in road conditions.
The roadbed had become bumpy under the pressure of large vehicles.
Throughout the way, Mo Jingchun saw mostly large vehicles and construction trucks.
When they arrived, Mo Jingchun found that the originally white car had turned gray.
Su Wenyan, fully armed, stood at the entrance wearing a hard hat. When she saw the boss get off the car, she immediately walked over.
"Boss, here’s a hard hat for you."
"They’re quite strict over here now, and without a hard hat, no one is allowed into the construction site, regardless of who they are."
Seeing her brother and Feiyan all wearing hard hats, Candy was momentarily at a loss and tugged at Su Wenyan’s hand.
"Sister Su, what about me?"
