“Why?” Song Yao asked curiously.
Although Guan Rong and Zuo Jie were Zuo Huo’s biological parents, Aunt Liu had raised Zuo Huo for so many years. No matter what, she was qualified to attend the engagement banquet.
“There’s nothing to go to. Her biological parents are all here. I’m an adoptive mother. It’s not good for me to go.”
Aunt Liu sighed and said, “Besides, I didn’t adopt Zuo Huo back then because of those superficial reasons. I purely liked this child. Now that I see that he’s living so well, I don’t have anything else to say.”
“But Zuo Huo probably wants you to appear at the engagement venue!” Song Yao insisted, insisting that Aunt Liu appear at the engagement venue.
Aunt Liu smiled. “Alright, I appreciate your and Zuo Huo’s intentions, but I really shouldn’t appear at such an important event like the engagement. You can invite me again when you officially hold the wedding banquet. ”
Song Yao wanted to say something else, but Aunt Liu had already left.
Song Yao could only sigh and continue to send red packets to Wang Hong and the other employees.
Other than Sun Hao, Wang Hong was the most experienced among them. She was also the one who received the most year-end bonuses other than Aunt Liu.
Ever since Song Yao went back to school, Wang Hong felt satisfied with Song Yao no matter how she looked at her.
The moment she received the 300 yuan year-end bonus, Wang Hong grabbed Song Yao’s hand excitedly. “Yao, I’m so grateful to you! If not for you, I would have lost my job long ago!”
“Yes!” Han Pei echoed. “If it weren’t for you, I would have died at my ex-husband’s place.”
Ever since Han Pei followed Song Yao, she had become much more radiant. Not only had her salary increased to 18 yuan, but even her words had become more confident.
She took the year-end bonus from Song Yao and said, “This money can buy Zhaodi a few pieces of beautiful clothes!”
Song Yao smiled at her. “Do I need you to buy Zhaodi’s clothes? Why? Has my cousin not treated you well these past few days?”
At the mention of Sun Hao, Han Pei’s face turned red. “What does it have to do with him? I’m not talking to you anymore! I’m going back to cook for the children!”
After saying that, Han Pei took off her apron and ran away.
Song Yao stared at Han Pei’s departing figure and planned to ask Sun Hao when she returned.
Sun Hao scratched his head and said awkwardly, “Alright, I admit that I like Han Pei a little, but I don’t know what Han Pei is thinking. Will she like someone like me?”
Song Yao did not expect her cousin to have such thoughts. She teased, “If you like her, go ahead and woo her. Anyway, Han Pei is single now! What are you afraid of?”
Sun Hao’s face was still red. Although he had long passed the age of a young man in love, Song Yao felt that Sun Hao was even more shy than those innocent young men!
“I have a child with me. My family background is not good… ” Sun Hao frowned and began to hesitate.
Song Yao was about to say something when she heard Sun Hao continue, “Yao, I want to improve my education. Do you have any good ideas?”
Song Yao thought for a long time. She had graduated from high school. As long as she submitted a recommendation letter to the school, the higher-ups would arrange an exam for her. If she passed the exam, she could also take the college entrance examination like those high school students.
However, Sun Hao was different. He had not even graduated from primary school before he started farming with his family.
However, it was not a bad thing to be able to improve her education. Although Song Yao could not do anything herself, she could ask others for information.
She said to Sun Hao, “Then ask Zuo Huo’s parents when I get engaged. I remember that his father used to work in the Education Bureau. He should know about this.’
“Really?” Sun Hao was especially excited.
Song Yao also understood Sun Hao’s feelings. She sighed and said, “Don’t worry, Cousin. I know you’re in a hurry to earn money, but don’t worry. With me around, you won’t starve!”
At night, Song Yao sent Zuo Huo the watch and fountain pen she had bought during the day.
Considering Zuo Huo’s parents, Song Yao sent two high-quality ginsengs, along with pecans and hazelnuts, saying that she wanted Zuo Huo to bring them over for his colleagues to eat.
She also wrote a letter to Zuo Huo, expressing her longing for him and looking forward to the engagement ceremony with him.
After preparing these, Song Yao handed them to the delivery man.
At the same time, she was looking forward to Zuo Huo’s reaction when he saw these things!
