Finished, she shouted to the three children playing outside the gate: "Xiangyang, bring your little brother and sister back for dinner."
But just after the three kids entered the courtyard, Yao Hui was almost furious enough to faint. The clothes she had changed them into just that afternoon were already dirty again, and the three of them had mud in their hands.
Suppressing her anger, she said, "Xiangyang, I just changed your clothes, and now in such a short while, you’ve turned into mud figures again."
Lyu Juncheng was already in a bad mood today. When he got to the workshop in the afternoon, he became the topic of conversation among everyone. Because of his foul mood, he almost made a mistake. If it hadn’t been for Tian Baoping’s help from next door, something might have happened.
Seeing the state of the kids, he directly shouted, "Look at what you’ve turned into, go change your clothes now."
The second child, Lyu Xiangliang, pulled his little sister and looked at Yao Hui: "Auntie, change our clothes."
Yao Hui gritted her teeth and said, "Go inside."
Luckily it was summer, the clothes washed in the afternoon were already dry by now.
By the time the little ones were tidied up, Granny Lyu had already set the food on the table. Yao Hui, looking to please the Lyu Family, borrowed half a pound of meat coupons from Sister Tian next door.
As soon as the three Lyu children sat down at the table, their eyes brightened seeing dried radish stir-fried with meat. Lyu Xiangyang was the first to speak: "There’s meat?"
He was about to reach out when Yao Hui slapped his hand: "What do you think you’re doing? Your grandparents and uncle haven’t even picked up their chopsticks yet."
This time, the Lyu Family surprisingly had a unified opinion, agreeing that Yao Hui was right.
Lyu Xiangyang glared angrily at Yao Hui: "This is my home, why can’t I eat meat?"
Afraid he might cause trouble, Yao Hui quickly said, "I didn’t say you couldn’t eat. It’s made for everyone to eat, but your grandparents and uncle are elders and guests..."
Originally wanting to curry favor, but before Yao Hui could finish, Granny Lyu directly interrupted: "This is my son’s home, how are we guests?
What’s wrong if my grandson wants a bite of meat? Stop pretending."
Lyu Xiangyang was smug now, having someone back him up. He directly scooped a piece of meat into his mouth and didn’t stop afterward.
Seeing his stance, the Lyu Family joined the scramble for the meat too.
The result was, by the time Yao Hui brought the soup to the table from the kitchen, that plate of meat dish was nearly finished. She was so frustrated, but what could she say?

He Jinxuan watched them from a distance as they entered the alley and then returned straight to the security department’s dormitory.
Meanwhile, Yu Xinyan, after letting Ye Silai and Ye Siyan wash and get on the kang, returned to her own room.
She closed the doors and windows, drew the curtains, and directly entered the space.
The ginseng seedlings she had bought from Master Gousheng were growing well, looking delightful.
After making a round in the field, she returned to the bamboo house and felt at ease looking at the household register she had stored in the space.
She planned to visit the Mechanical Factory’s affiliated high school tomorrow to resolve the school admission issue as soon as possible, mainly fearing that they’ll miss the deadline for this year’s college entrance exam registration if delayed any longer.
Recently, she had already gone through all the high school textbooks in her spare time.
Perhaps because of drinking Space Stream Water, her memory had substantially improved. Although not eidetic, she could remember things well after a few reads, which after confirmation, left her immensely happy.
Because there is a time difference between the space and the outside world, Yu Xinyan seized the time to go through the high school books once more before putting them away. Before school starts, there will definitely be exams, so she must be well-prepared.
Seeing that it was still early, she thought once the school was sorted out, she would leave He Jinxuan’s place. After finishing making clothes for Ye Silai, and cutting out the short sleeves for He Jinxuan, she finally exited the space to take a break.
