Chapter 711: Zhang Ping'an's Gaze

Shuyu heard the movement at the door and walked out a bit. At that moment, Zhang Ping'an also looked up and glanced in her direction.

Shu Yu nodded at him, and he quickly averted his gaze.

Zhang Ping'an spoke to the grandmother, "Da Hu is amazing. He knows a lot of characters and is very patient. Originally, my family wanted to keep them for a meal, but Da Hu and San Ya insisted on coming back, so I brought them home."

As he spoke, Zhang Ping'an handed over the vegetable basket he was carrying. "My mother said that your vegetable seeds have just been planted and haven't ripened yet, so she asked me to bring some vegetables over."

The old lady didn't bother with pleasantries and reached out to take it. "Okay, thank you. We've already prepared the meal. Stay and have some."

"No, no, no," Zhang Ping'an hurriedly waved his hand. "We have food at home too. I should be going. Goodbye."

Zhang Ping'an turned around and left, but before leaving, he glanced at Shu Yu

However, Shu Yu had her head down and was quietly talking to San Ya, so she didn't notice.

The old lady raised an eyebrow, and when Shu Yu looked up, she saw the strange expression on her face.

"What's wrong? Is there something on me?"

"It's nothing. Let's wash our hands and have the meal."

Da Hu walked towards the kitchen and explained, "Grandma, San Ya and I were actually on our way back, but Aunt Zhang insisted on keeping us there. She said she had prepared our meals too. It took us a while to convince her to let us come back, which is why it took us so long."

San Ya nodded quickly by his side. "Yes, yes, we worked hard. We ran here and there, having a mental battle with them for a long time. It wasn't easy at all."

Shu Yu laughed, "Why does it sound like you were fighting a war?"

"We didn't fight a war, but I wasn't hungry before, and now I'm starving." San Ya rubbed her belly and let out a long sigh like a grown-up.

It was so difficult to get through to adults. She was speaking very clearly now, so why couldn't they understand?

Shu Yu found the expressions of the two children amusing. It seemed that Aunt Zhang's enthusiasm was a bit overwhelming for the little ones.

The family of four had their meal, and when they heard that Shu Yu was going to pick more snails, the two children excitedly insisted on joining.

The old lady waved her hand and led them all to the river.

Shuyu picked another half bucket of snails before returning home. After soaking them in water, she went to the village.

Wang Changdong found it strange. "Why are you here so early?"

Shu Yu was taken aback by his comment. If only she had such a good boss in modern times, there wouldn't be so many workaholics.

He actually complained about her arriving early for work?

Shu Yu smiled, "I came to organize the roster. Although the original one is fine, I'm more familiar with my own way of recording. I thought if I finish it now, I can work faster in the future."

Wang Changdong had an expression that said, "You don't need to explain; I understand." He knew very well how messy the original roster was, and only the person who recorded it could understand it.

Shuyu took the small basket to the kitchen and returned it to Aunt Fang. Then she moved the table to the shade under the eaves.

The lighting there was sufficient, and it could still catch some sunlight without being too harsh on the eyes.

Once she started working, Shu Yu became more focused.

Wang Changdong passed by her a few times and only saw her flipping through the book at a rapid pace.

Unable to contain his curiosity any longer, he came over and asked, "How's the organization going?"
