The院长 left happily, and only the four of them remained!
Liu Chao asked, "Seriously, I still don't believe it. How can you be so lucky? I finally managed to get somewhere, and I'm still not as good as you!"
Zhang Pingfan said, "You're already very good. A few months ago, the welfare home was short of money. Where were you? If I hadn't come back, this place might have already closed down!"
Liu Chao stammered, not knowing what to say!
Xiao Mei, who was standing nearby, said, "The welfare home needs a lot of funds. At that time, my dad had some business problems and couldn't provide the funds! But I heard later that the funding was resolved, and I didn't expect it was you!"
Liu Chao was lucky to have found this girl, as if the older generation had accumulated virtue. Although he was a live-in son-in-law, this girl seemed to treat Liu Chao well!
"Apart from his sharp tongue, my brother is fine in other ways. Sometimes he still needs his sister-in-law's guidance!"
Xiao Mei: "Heh, that's right. My dad says the same thing, but he's much better now. But speaking of which, I'm more curious about you! Dou Youyou is a big star, and what about you?"
Zhang Pingfan smiled and said, "Even if she's a big star, she's still human. Humans have feelings, right?"
Dou Youyou glared at Zhang Pingfan and said, "Are you saying you don't want me if I don't have feelings!"
Zhang Pingfan awkwardly said, "It's a metaphor, just a metaphor!"
"Haha, I thought no one could handle you. It seems our goddess can. Although I'm unhappy that you're doing better than me, for Dou Youyou and the院长's sake, I won't argue with you today!"
Zhang Pingfan said, "When have you ever won against me? You talk as if you've already won. Aren't you going home today?"
Liu Chao: "Yes, I'll accompany the院长 at noon, and then go to my father-in-law's house for the New Year in the evening. It's been like this for the past few years. Unlike you, I can't find you to show off during the New Year. Now that I've finally met you, you've brought Dou Youyou with you. I'm speechless!"
Liu Chao wasn't bad at heart, otherwise, he wouldn't come to accompany the院长 every year!
"No choice, who told you I'm your brother, even though I'm only older by one day!"
It was precisely because of this one day that Liu Chao was extremely unconvinced of this brother!
"Can you stop bringing it up?"
"When you stop your bad habit of talking, I'll stop mentioning it!"
"Damn it, I can't be bothered to talk to you. I heard you also play Shenhua?"
Zhang Pingfan nodded: "Yes, being a businessman, it's free and unrestrained!"
Liu Chao said, "We play too. It's mainly good for our health and strengthening our bodies, but we don't play as well as Dou Youyou. Her skills are too abnormal, but I do envy her."
Zhang Pingfan said, "What Dou Youyou? She's your sister-in-law. Also, this game is very important. Keep working hard!"
This wasn't the first time Liu Chao had heard others say this game was important. Could it really be that important?
"Brother, do you have any inside information?"
Zhang Pingfan smiled: "Youyou is ranked first, so I know a little bit. Anyway, it's very important. As for why, perhaps the answer will come in a few months!"
Zhang Pingfan couldn't say it too directly. What if others thought he was an idiot, especially Liu Chao!
After a simple breakfast, the four of them began decorating the welfare home with New Year couplets and the like. The children in the welfare home were especially happy!
However, compared to when Zhang Pingfan and his group were there, there were fewer and fewer children in the welfare home.
In the past, there were too many poor people, and they couldn't afford to have many children. Now it's different. Most people don't want to have children, or even if they can have one, they definitely won't have a second one. Social pressure is too great.
The existence of welfare homes was originally a product of the population explosion. Now, there are fewer and fewer welfare homes, and more of them have become places for the elderly to stay!
After lunch, Liu Chao and his wife left in a hurry. After all, his father-in-law's place was his main stage!
Watching Liu Chao's car drive away.
The院长 sighed, "Your brother always argued with you about this and that when he was in the institution. Don't take it to heart!"
Zhang Pingfan said, "I've always treated him as an ignorant younger brother!"
"That's good. Now that both of you brothers are doing well, I'm relieved!"
Zhang Pingfan helped the院长 and said, "院长, let's go inside. It's windy here!"
"Yes! I'm getting old, and I'm useless. My health is declining day by day. I don't know how much longer I can last!"
Zhang Pingfan asked, "院长, haven't you entered the game yet?"
The院长 shook her head, "I don't have that much free time. This is something for you young people to play. I'm an old woman and don't understand. Let it be!"
"System sister, what kind of pill in the game can help the院长?"
[Ding! Longevity Pill. After taking it, it can permanently increase your level by one. Each person can only use it once.]
"What are its effects in reality?"
[Ding! Increases lifespan by 10 years!]
"Okay, thank you!"
Although it was only ten years, the院长 didn't have any major problems at the moment. It wouldn't be too late to take it later!
"院长, you've been busy these past two days. You can rest this afternoon. I'll take over from now on, just like before!"
"How can that be? You're my guest here now. How can I let you do the work!"
Zhang Pingfan said, "Why so many formalities? Just listen to me this once. Leave this place to me and Youyou!"
"院长, please go and rest. We can do it!"
After Zhang Pingfan and Dou Youyou's persuasion, the院长 finally returned to her room to rest.
There were also quite a few children and elderly people in the welfare home, totaling more than ten people.
It was the New Year, and the cooking aunt had already taken leave and gone home. Making such a large table of dishes would be quite difficult for the院长.
Before, Zhang Pingfan and others helped, but now there were no young people here. They were either children or the elderly, with no labor force at all.
"Youyou, call your Dou family's five-star chef to come and make the New Year's Eve dinner! With so many people, the two of us probably won't be able to manage. Since we've finally come, we should let the院长 have a good meal!"
Dou Youyou nodded, "Okay, I'll contact them right away!"
Money power is good. This was a special New Year's Eve dinner.
When the院长 saw it, her distressed expression was evident on her face.
Dou Youyou quickly explained, "院长, don't worry, these are people from my company. It won't cost much!"
"But these dishes!"
"The chef said that since we've come for the first time, and it's New Year's Eve dinner, we can't be careless. 院长, just wait with peace of mind."
"You two kids, aren't you going to spoil the children in the institution with your taste? Alas!"
"It's okay, it's okay, it's just for one meal!"
Although the院长 was distressed, it was also the happiest New Year's Eve dinner.
Zhang Pingfan compared the院长 to his own mother. There were endless things to talk about at the New Year's Eve dinner. Dou Youyou saw such an emotional Zhang Pingfan for the first time!
Zhang Pingfan chatted with the院长 and watched the Spring Festival Gala, while Dou Youyou left in advance because the Nian Beast event was about to begin. They had also brought their game helmets long ago!
