Chapter 710: Chapter 710: Snatch (2)_1

Ruan Jiaojiao finally felt completely relieved upon hearing her mother’s words. If her mother said there was likely no major problem, then it should be fine.

But then, Ruan Jiaojiao had a small worry. Should she tell Ruan Wei about this? He was currently full of anticipation for Liao Zhaoji, and she really didn’t have the heart to let him be disappointed.

On Sunday, Zhao Li and Lu Zhiwei visited the Ruan family.

They discussed opening an electronic appliance shop. Previously, they had been trekking south to buy goods and then selling them upon their return, making a fair amount of money, but it was all petty business, not amounting to a serious enterprise.

Now that both of them had some capital, they were thinking of opening an electronic appliance shop to get started in the business for real.

The nation’s economy was rapidly developing, and in every industry, there were leaders who profited immensely.

While the two men were deep in discussion, Zhao Li and the Ruanlin Family matriarch were cooking in the kitchen, the older brothers and Lu Zishu were watching TV in the living room, and Ruan Jiaojiao was sitting on the kitchen steps, peeling pine nuts that Zhao Li had brought. Her plump hands struggled, barely managing to peel a few, but Xiu Xi, sitting beside her, was peeling them several times faster.

Whenever she managed to peel one, he would stuff it into her mouth. Ruan Jiaojiao would chew noisily, savoring the taste, while awkwardly trying to be polite, "Xi brother, you don’t have to feed me. You can eat them yourself."

Though she said this, as soon as Xiu Xi reached out his hand again, she immediately opened her mouth.

"Chomp, chomp." Mmm, delicious!

Their childhood innocence made Zhao Li smile from ear to ear as she remarked to the Ruanlin Family matriarch, "Our Jiaojiao is truly blessed. The man she finds in the future must be as attentive as Xiaoxi."

Upon hearing this, the Ruanlin Family matriarch also glanced over and began to smile.

"..." Xiu Xi, with a calm expression on his face, quickened the pace of his hands even further.

Zhao Li took another look and, thinking of something, turned to the Ruanlin Family matriarch and said, "I won’t be able to bring Jiaojiao vegetables this month. She’s at the age where she’s growing, and it’s a pity, those school meals really don’t have enough nutrition. It’s truly tough on her."

"Tough? I’ll just make it up to her at night," the Ruanlin Family matriarch casually replied. She always felt it was troublesome to have Zhao Li deliver vegetables every day, but Zhao Li truly cared for Ruan Jiaojiao. Being formal with her would actually make it seem like they were treating her like an outsider.

"Godmother, is there something happening this month?" Ruan Jiaojiao, who was sitting on the threshold, turned to ask, holding a few pine nuts she had peeled and walked over to feed her.

Zhao Li bent down to eat them and then affectionately stroked her little head before replying, "Yes, my family back home has some friends coming to visit, and I need to host them."

Family back home? Friends?

Ruan Jiaojiao was startled.

Xiu Xun was recognized and taken back through Zhao Li’s help, but that was several years later, because in the previous life, none of them had skipped grades.

In this life, because of her, aside from Wa Yiting and Xiu Cheng, they all had skipped grades. She had been curious whether the events of the previous life would repeat, and now it seemed that no matter what, what was meant to happen would still happen, just earlier than before.

"It’s okay, Jiaojiao. Just bear with it for a while. After this month, once they leave, your godmother will bring you meals again," Zhao Li, unaware of Ruan Jiaojiao’s thoughts and assuming she was unhappy because Zhao Li could no longer bring her meals, immediately comforted her.

"Okay," Ruan Jiaojiao replied nonchalantly, lowering her eyelids, nodding, and turning around to feed the remaining pine nuts to the Ruanlin Family matriarch.
