Chapter 079.

The big colorful rooster raised by Zhong Minfen never slacks off.

As soon as the sun rises, it crows in the chicken coop in the direction of the rising sun.

Zhen Zhen and Shi Huai Ming woke up to the sound of the rooster’s crow, dressed the children and took them to the bathroom to wash up.

Zhong Minfen, being older, slept earlier at night and woke up earlier in the morning. By the time Zhen Zhen and Shui Huaiming finished washing up with the children, she had already gone out for a walk, moved her muscles and returned from the cafeteria to get some breakfast.

Zhen Zhen and Shihuaoming brought the children to the table to eat.

In the cold weather, the children ate slowly, so Zhen Zhen and Shui Huai Ming would help feed them a little.

After eating, the couple took the children out of the house and ran into Li Shuang and Wen, who took the children to school with them.

After sending the dolls to school, it was still time to go to work and time to go to school.

Although it was not time for her to go to school, Jenny did not stay at home, but went to school directly.

After arriving at school, she first went to the library to look for books.

After borrowing the books and putting them in her bag, Jenny went to the professional classroom to look for Ye Manlin.

When she found Ye Manlin, she called him to a deserted place, took out the neatly folded letter paper from her pocket, and sent it back to him, saying, “Xiaoye classmate, thank you for appreciating me, but don’t write letters anymore.”

Ye Manlin’s face showed a slight embarrassment.

His letter was written in a very subtle and euphemistic way, not expecting Zhen Zhen to respond so directly.

Looking at the change of color on Ye Manlin’s face, not waiting for him to say something, Zhen Zhen continued, “You are a college student who just went to college, I am a person in the society, I am more than ten years older than you, and my child is five years old.”

Ye Manlin suddenly froze when he heard this, looking at Zhen Zhen and blinking.

In the end, he was young, a little redness seeped out of his face, almost wanting to find a crack in the ground.

Of course he could tell that Zhen Zhen was older than them, but he didn’t expect it to be this much older, much less that she had a child.

Not knowing what to say, Ye Manlin immediately apologizes, “I’m sorry I’m sorry, I’m the one who was abrupt.”

Zhen Zhen smiled a little and said, “It’s fine, just say it clearly. I mainly also didn’t want to seem too out of place, so I didn’t tell my classmates about myself, so that I can be more natural when I get along with everyone.”

Ye Manlin immediately nods again, “I understand I understand, I won’t tell anyone else.”

Zhen Zhen: “Then thank you.”

After making things clear with Ye Manlin, Zhen Zhen didn’t talk to him about anything else and went to class first.

Ye Manlin stood still and looked at the letter paper in his hand, his face is still all embarrassed, a moment to look at Zhen Zhen walked away back, embarrassed and muttered another sentence: “The child is five years old, really?”

***

After dealing with the matter between Ye Manlin, Zhen Zhen went to the classroom to listen carefully.

The Literature Club has no organized activities, and after listening to the class with nothing else to do, she still goes straight home.

Returning home to read for a while, she went to pick up her child at the point.

After sending the children to school in the afternoon, she stayed home and didn’t go out.

Zhong Minfen went out for a visit, so she stayed at home alone, sitting quietly at the writing table, pinching the pen and carefully transcribing the article she had revised last night.

After copying, she carefully folded the paper, stuffed it into an envelope, and wrote the posting address on the envelope.

She put the sealed envelope into her bag, locked the door and went out.

There were no more stamps at home, so she went to the post office to buy a stamp and put it on the envelope, and mailed it with excitement and trepidation.

When I returned home after mailing the letter, I naturally continued to read and study.

In the evening, he went to pick up his children and came back with Li Shuang and Ah Wen.

At He Ziyan’s age, she was already able to go to kindergarten by herself.

But Li Shuang and Ah Wen were working together, so naturally they picked up the child together after work.

On the way home, DouDouDanHuo and HeZiYan walked together in pairs, chattering away.

Shizuku was left holding Mai, Zhen Zhen was holding Xingyu, and Li Shuang was holding Dan Tong as they walked in a pile.

Li Shuang held Dantong and talked to Zhen Zhen, asking her, “The semester is coming to an end, how are you doing at school? I see you’re energized every day, are classes that much fun?”

At this age, she and Shizuku don’t have that kind of heart and energy when it comes to studying.

It was fine to read and chat during the week, but going to a classroom to study in a serious way gave them a headache just thinking about it.

Zhen Zhen smiled and said, “I’ve never been to school since I was a kid, so I still find it interesting.”

Shizuku asked, “Will you continue next semester?”

Zhen Zhen replied, “Yes, I’m not tired of it yet.”

Li Shuang laughs, “Let me sit there for one class and I’ll have to run.”

Shizuku, “I think I would too.”

The three of them walk slowly with their kids and talk a lot.

From the end of the semester and winter vacation to New Year’s Eve, Wen suddenly proposed, “It’s rare for us to get together again after so many years, why don’t we spend New Year’s Eve together this year, what do you think?”

Zhen Zhen felt that there was no problem, and responded, “Yes.”

But as she answered, she turned her head and looked at Li Shuang next to her.

Li Shuang didn’t give it too much thought and continued, “If it’s okay with you guys, then it’s okay with me.”

The three of them made a deal on this as they walked along the road.

Wen added, “Mrs. Chen shouldn’t be going anywhere else for Chinese New Year, so call her and Cheng Chen together.”

Li Shuang casually asked, “She’s not going to her mother-in-law’s house?”

Ah Wen shook her head, “She and her in-laws had a falling out a long time ago, her in-laws were already biased in favor of their youngest son, and they had a hard time because of the pension in the first place. After you guys moved here, have you seen Process Chen’s grandparents come to see him?”

Li Shuang and Zhen Zhen spoke in unison, “Indeed, I have not seen to come …….”

The three people talked to the home, taking the children back to their respective homes.

Waiting for the family all back, hot and lively sit down to eat.

In the winter, it was now getting dark very early.

After dinner, it was already dark outside.

There was nothing to enjoy, so the children played together for a while before washing up and going to bed.

After Zhong Minfen and the children had gone to bed, Zhen Zhen and Servant Huai Ming also went to wash up.

After washing up and returning to the house, all they could do was read books and chat.

Zhen Zhen sat at the writing table rubbing snowflake cream.

She gently rubbed the fragrant moistness of her hand onto the back of her hand, and as she did so, she said to Shui Huaiming, “I made it clear to that young student, and he was shocked to learn that my child was five years old.”

Speaking of this, Mr. Huai Ming was still a little jealous in his heart.

He looked at Zhen Zhen for a moment and said, “Strange to say, how do you look not to rise in age all these years.”

After rubbing the snowflake cream, Zhen Zhen screwed up the lid.

Putting the snowflake cream inside the writing table, she smiled and answered, “Maybe there is nothing bothering me, and it’s easier and more comfortable to live, so I can’t tell if I’ve gotten older.”

Servant Huai Ming reached out and pulled her wrist, pulling her up from the chair and directly pulling her to sit in his arms.

Holding her waist with his palms, he tilted his head to look at her and said, “Then can this statement be interpreted to mean that you’ve had a happy life with me all these years?”

In a private space, with no one else around, Zhen Zhen was more able to let go.

She reached out and hugged Servant Huai Ming’s neck, looked at him and said, “Well, it feels …… especially especially happy.”

Servant Huai Ming looked at her, the corners of his mouth smiling, “And then?”

Then? Zhen Zhen thought for a moment and said, “Then I sent the article out today, I don’t know if it will be accepted.”

Serving Huai Ming, “……”

A moment later, “If they don’t accept you, it’s because their editors don’t have an eye.”

Zhen Zhen laughs, “Is that so?”

Squire Huai Ming, “It has to be.”

***

After the manuscript was sent out, Zhen Zhen thought about it from time to time.

Of course her life was still business as usual, dabbling in classes and raising children, reading and writing, and living her life every day.

The first semester of college was quickly drawing to a close.

Zhen Zhen did not take final exams, and after the courses she had taken were over, she stopped going to school.

There was nothing else to do at home, still reading and writing and taking care of the kids.

Servant Danling finished her exams before leaving school on vacation.

Because she had agreed with Shi Huaizhong and Chen Qingmei that she would save on travel expenses and stay here in Xicheng for the New Year, she naturally came directly to the military home after leaving school for vacation.

Zhen Zhen and Zhong Minfen are already at home making bacon and sausage to prepare for New Year’s goods.

Serving Danling didn’t consider herself a guest here, so she naturally prepared the New Year’s goods together with Zhong Minfen Zhen Zhen.

Of course she spent most of her time helping with the children, after all, Dan Sui Dan Tong and Xing Yu were still very young and needed to be watched.

The sun was shining brightly on this day.

Zhen Zhen and Zhong Min Fen were in the kitchen making bacon.

Shi Danling was in the yard playing with Danshui Dantong and Xingyu, while Dabai curled up on one side and watched.

When she heard a knock on the door, she turned her head and saw the letter carrier standing on the courtyard door, so she got up and went to fetch the mail.

She thought it was a letter from Shui Huai Zhong and Chen Qingmei, but when she got it in her hand, she only saw that the sender was from a newspaper.

It wasn’t a letter to herself, so naturally Servant Danling didn’t open it.

After sending the postman away, she took the letter to the kitchen and gave it to the recipient on the envelope – Lin Zhen Zhen.

She brought the letter to Zhen Zhen and said, “Third Auntie, this is your letter.”

Zhen Zhen turned her head to look at the envelope.

Seeing the sender’s message, her face suddenly tightened and she busied herself with washing her hands.

After washing and drying her hands, she took the envelope from Shui Danling and went back to her room to open the letter.

Seeing her secretive, Zhong Minfen retracted her gaze and asked: “Who is the letter ah?”

Servant Danling said: “Xicheng Evening News.”

Zhong Minfen: “Newspaper?”

Servant Danling nodded, “Yes.”

Zhong Minfen asked again, “How did the newspaper write to your third aunt?”

Servant Danling shook her head, “I’m not really sure.”

***

Zhen Zhen’s heart was beating fast from the moment she saw the sender on the envelope.

She pinched the envelope and went to the bedroom, suppressing her heartbeat and carefully tearing open the envelope’s seal.

Taking the contents of the envelope out and looking at it, she was a little disappointed along with relieved.

The Hee City Evening News had withdrawn her manuscript – she’d been bounced.

Not unusual for a first-time submission.

Zhen Zhen was not too disappointed, sat down in front of the writing table, Xicheng Evening News gave the reasons for the withdrawal of the manuscript, as well as some of the extra comments on her manuscript, carefully read through.

After reading and thinking for a while, I think what people say is quite right, the mind will be calm.

Although her mind had thoughts and ideas again, Zhen Zhen did not change them immediately.

She put the manuscript and the envelope into the drawer and went back to the kitchen to continue making bacon with Zhong Minfen.

Servant Danling was also curious about the letter she had just received and asked Zhen Zhen, “Third Auntie, are you submitting an article to the Xicheng Evening News?”

Zhen Zhen had joined the literary club at school and had also published articles in the school newspaper, both of which she knew about.

Being asked about this, Zhen Zhen was still a little embarrassed, especially since the submission was rejected.

Of course she didn’t deny it, and only smiled and said, “Submitted it for fun.”

Servant Danling affirmed her, “Third Auntie you write quite well.”

Zhen Zhen smiled and accepted the affirmation, but didn’t say much about the pitch.

It wasn’t until she returned to her room and sat down after her evening’s work that she took the manuscript out again.

Thinking of new ideas and inspirations from the reasons given by the newspaper for returning the article, she picked up her pen to make revisions to the manuscript.

Servant Huai Ming came in and saw her revising the manuscript, looking at it for a moment and asking her, “It was returned?”

Zhen Zhen turned her head to look at Servant Huai Ming, “Well, there were quite a few problems picked out.”

Shi Huai Ming encouraged her, “It’s okay, gold will always shine.”

Zhen Zhen looked at him and smiled, “I’m going to make some revisions and vote for another company.”

Servant Huai Ming let out a hmm, “It’s fine, vote for a few more.”

This was perfectly normal, and Zhen Zhen naturally didn’t feel battered or discouraged.

After she revised the returned manuscript, she carefully and meticulously transcribed it, changed the newspaper, and sent it out again.
