114 Photo

After eating and drinking her fill, Chuchu took out the photo from her pocket and held it up in front of Aunt Hui. “I found it in the drawer of Dad’s office. Who could this be?”

Aunt Hui put on her glasses and looked at them carefully for a long time, but she still couldn’t recognize who she was. She looked very young, about 20 years old.

But of course, she knew what Chuchu was thinking about. Aunt Hui smiled and stroked Chuchu’s hair. “Aren’t Dad and Mom busy with recruitment recently? It’s probably the resume of a new employee.” Aunt Hui also had her resume and knew her photo was not that big. Besides, whose ID photo would still be so coquettish?

“Should I return it?” just as Chuchu heaved a sigh of relief, she suddenly realized she seemed to have done something wrong!

“It’s okay. You can ask Mom when she comes back. Grandma doesn’t know either.” Aunt Hui knew Liang Wen wasn’t that kind of person, but she couldn’t make the decision. She still had to wait for Qu Zhi to return.

Chuchu immediately understood. She had to hide the photo until her Mother came home.

That would take a very, very long time. She couldn’t hold it in.

Chuchu patted her head. She really couldn’t think of anything else and could only do her homework.

Her Mother had bought her two sets of practice questions and asked her to do them when she was free. Chuchu thought for a moment. Those questions were really, really difficult. It would probably take a long time to complete one set, so her Mother would probably be back after she finished.

She obediently turned on her desk lamp and lowered her head to do the questions. Not long after, when Aunt Hui went to take a look, Chuchu had already fallen asleep on the table.

Aunt Hui carried her to the bed. Chuchu was still mumbling, and no one knew what she was thinking.

Qu Zhi returned at dawn the next day, slightly earlier than expected.

The house was tranquil, but Aunt Hui woke up the moment she heard movement. One reason was that she was a light sleeper, and the other was that she had something for Qu Zhi.

Qu Zhi had brought along many Yunnan specialties. In her previous life, Liang Wen always brought back a bunch of local specialties every time he went on a business trip. She had thought he was wasting money. These things were obviously not delicious, and outsiders would not eat them. It would be a waste if he shipped them back in wholesale.

In the end, she had bought as much as Liang Wen on this trip, making her look travel-worn as if she was taking refuge.

Qu Zhi also found her appearance funny. She finally understood why she wanted to buy local specialties. It was mainly because it was fresh outside, and she wanted to bring it back to let her child see the world.

She slowly pushed open the door to Chuchu’s bedroom. Chuchu’s face was red from sleep.

Qu Zhi couldn’t help but pinch her little face. She had only been out for two days but felt like Chuchu had grown up again. Qu Zhi glanced at the unfinished practice questions on her small table and felt even more touched. It seemed that she brought those foreign gadgets for nothing.

Qu Zhi felt she reeked of sweat and was starting to dislike herself. She put down her things and took her clothes to take a shower.

The conditions of the place where she went on the business trip were not so good. In order to run to the factory, she lived in the suburbs and almost fed mosquitoes.

Aunt Hui felt she must have suffered a lot on the way here and wanted to make some delicious food for Qu Zhi to fill her stomach. She planned to make a bowl of Sanxian noodles and fry two eggs, enough for Qu Zhi to eat alone.

It was still very early, so Aunt Hui didn’t even dare to crack the egg loudly. However, the moment the egg was placed in the pot, Chuchu walked out with sleepy eyes. “Grandma, I want a half-cooked one.” One didn’t have to sleep, but they had to eat to their fill.

Chuchu immediately saw the big and small bags on the ground!

She was jolted awake in an instant. When she heard movement in the bathroom, she was so excited she wanted to scream.

Qu Zhi pushed open the door after taking a shower and was shocked to see Chuchu standing guard at the door.

“There’s no school today. Why did you wake up so early?” Did she forget that today was Sunday?

Chuchu shook her head. She was unable to fall asleep.

Chuchu buried her head into Qu Zhi’s arms and was unwilling to speak for a long time.

“What’s wrong?” Qu Zhi patted her little head. She also missed Chuchu.

Chuchu took a deep breath. She could finally tell this secret to her Mother.

She solemnly took out the photo from the pocket of her pajamas. “I found this in the second drawer of Dad’s office. Is this a new employee in the company “
