At night, Lu Yao nestled in Duan Mingjie's arms, resting her chin on his chest, "I think Zhiwei is not asking for a drawing book for himself, but more like asking for a drawing book for Yanyan. I hope I am overthinking."
She really doesn't want Yanyan to be so inferior and sensitive.
"You're right, Zhiwei saw that Yanyan was embarrassed to speak, so he took the initiative to speak."
Lu Yao was a little worried, "Did we not give Yanyan enough sense of security?"
I have tried every method and talked to her heart to heart. Of course, the effect is there, but I still don't dare to ask for things from them.
Duan Mingjie took her hand and kissed it on the mouth, "It's normal for a little girl to have a lot of thoughts. Wife, you've done a good enough job."
Anyone else would never have done as well as Yaoyao.
Lu Yao moved her body and said, "No, I'll go talk to Yanyan's class teacher in private tomorrow and ask for a course schedule."
Duan Mingjie hugged her tightly and said, "Okay."
"Tang Yi's results should be available in two days. Do you want to go see him?"
Duan Mingjie: "Let's wait and see what happens tomorrow."
The next day, Lu Yao found Duan Yanyan's class teacher and Chinese teacher Li Ying.
Lu Yao first asked about Duan Yanyan's performance yesterday.
Li Ying smiled at Lu Yao, "Duan Yanyan is very studious, but she is very studious. Apart from going to the toilet during class, she just immerses herself in reading and doesn't play with her classmates."
Lu Yao frowned, "Maybe it's because she just came here and is not familiar with her classmates. If there are extracurricular activities, please take care of her, Teacher Li."
Li Ying agreed wholeheartedly.
Lu Yao chatted with Li Ying for a while, then left with the class schedule.
After school in the afternoon, as soon as Duan Yanyan came home, she took out her drawing book and showed it to Lu Yao.
I drew two pictures in total, one with flowers and one with a bunny.
Lu Yao stroked Duan Yanyan's head and praised, "Yanyan is great, go show it to grandma and aunt."
After a while, Duan Mingming came over and sat down next to Lu Yao, "Sure enough, it is better to come to the capital to study, so that you can better explore the children's talents."
After saying that, Duan Mingming smiled, "Obviously, Yanyan has no talent for painting."
Lu Yao pursed her lips and smiled, "Just think of it as enriching your life. There is no need to be strong in everything. After discovering their strengths, we will focus on cultivating them."
Duan Mingming looked at Lu Yao with admiration, "Sister-in-law, you are so kind to your two children."
It's too good to say anything, even if it's a biological child, it can only be like this.
Lu Yao laughed, "It's still early for school to start. This weekend, let's take our children to the Forbidden City."
Duan Mingming: "Okay."
Duan Mingjie has been recruiting people for the past two days. Chen Dazhuang took Duan Mingjie to the nearby village to recruit people. However, there were not many people doing this in the capital. After two days, only twenty or thirty people were found.
Chen Dazhuang told Duan Mingjie to look for him in other villages in two days.
On the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, Tang Yi was sentenced to five years.
Tang Long also returned to the army.
Tang Long came to tell Duan Mingjie the news.
"Comrade Duan Mingjie, Tang Yi wants to see you."
Duan Mingjie was just waiting, saying hello to Lu Yao and then followed Tang Long to the prison.
Tang Long sent him to the prison gate and went back.
Duan Mingjie was led by the staff to the visiting room.
Duan Mingjie was mentally prepared, but when he saw that Tang Yi was wearing shackles, he frowned.
Seeing Duan Mingjie's frown, Tang Yi smiled at Duan Mingjie pretending to be relieved.
"Why are you looking like this? I'm not going to die."
Duan Mingjie pursed his lips, "How are you now?"
"It's pretty good," Tang Yi smiled sincerely, "I'm not lying to you, it's really pretty good. I had long thought that such a day would come, but now that day has come, I feel more relaxed."
Duan Mingjie closed his eyes, feeling extremely powerless.
Five years, the best years, were spent in prison.
"You," Duan Mingjie said with difficulty, "I heard Uncle Zheng say that as long as you reform well and strive to make meritorious deeds, you can come out early. When you come out, we will still work together."
Hearing this, Tang Yi smiled.
"I really didn't expect that I, Tang Yi, would be able to make such a strong friend in my life."
Duan Mingjie rolled his eyes at him, "Don't say so many useless things. Take good care of yourself here. I will come to see you often in the future. If you have anything to say to me, I will help you if I can."
Tang Yi nodded and said hello, "I'm calling you here this time to tell you that Lao Li is willing to work with you. He has fifty or sixty people under him. He will go to your home to discuss it with you tonight." It’s about starting work.”
Duan Mingjie: "Have you talked to them all?"
Tang Yi hummed, "Originally I wanted to call you all here and let them meet you, but I can only meet one person at a time, so I can't introduce you to them."
All the contractors have met. Others want to work alone, but only Lao Li is willing to accompany Duan Mingjie.
Duan Mingjie: "Thank you."
Tang Yi smiled at him and said, "Thank you. I can only help you get here. From now on, you can only do the project yourself."
Duan Mingjie stared into his eyes, "I'll wait for you to come out and let's do it together."
Tang Yi: "Okay, do it well."
"I told my elder brother, he will take out the wages he shared before and give it to you."
Duan Mingjie pursed his lips helplessly, "I won't ask for it. I won't give you the balance, but what I give you is yours."
Tang Yi wanted to speak, but Duan Mingjie glared back, "If you still regard me as a brother, then do as I say, otherwise, brothers don't have to do it."
Lu Yao saw Duan Mingjie's face looking very bad when he came back. She walked over and held his hand, "Is Tang Yi okay?"
Duan Mingjie pulled her to sit down in the yard, "It looks fine. Only he knows whether it is really fine."
What good can go to jail?
Just hold on.
Lu Yao held his hand and comforted softly, "You work hard, and when he comes out, you two will do it together. He still has Tang Long here, and there will be no shortage of opportunities when he comes out."
Duan Mingjie nodded.
Bang bang bang——
There was a knock on the door.
Lu Yao and Duan Mingjie looked at the same time and were surprised to see the people outside the door.
Lu Yao stood up, "He Zhenzhen?"
He Zhenzhen looked at her expressionlessly, "Can I come in?"
Lu Yao nodded numbly.
He Zhenzhen walked to Lu Yao and asked, "How many years has Tang Yi been sentenced?"
Lu Yao blinked, then smiled at her, "Why do you ask this?"
He Zhenzhen lowered his eyebrows and said, "Just ask."
"Five years." Lu Yao said, "He was sentenced to five years."
Hearing this, He Zhenzhen raised his head, his eyes a little surprised, "Only five years?"
Lu Yao nodded, "Yes."
He Zhenzhen hesitated to speak, and finally asked, "Have you gone to see him?"
Lu Yao did not answer her question immediately, but looked at her carefully, "You seem to care about him very much."
Duan Mingjie also looked at He Zhenzhen.
He Zhenzhen felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by the couple, "No, I don't care about him."
"I go first."
After saying that, He Zhenzhen turned and left.
Lu Yao and Duan Mingjie looked at each other.
Lu Yao looked at Duan Mingjie, "What does she mean?"
Duan Mingjie shook his head.
