"Sister Andy found a lot of materials for ," Xie Yizun said, feeling a bit bitter inside but pretending to be cheerful on the surface. "I think they’re all great. I also asked Assistant Jin to help tell her to find so more for ."
"Not bad," Shi Wangyue said, seeing through it but not revealing it.
Evening, future ti.
Shi Wangyue hadn’t returned ho yet.
Ning Youguang was having a video call with Xia Youqing.
In the cara, Grandma Xie was constantly packing things into a big cardboard box behind her.
Noticing Ning Youguang’s attention on Grandma Xie,
Xia Youqing explained, "Grandma heard that Yiyi is in a training camp, and the food is all uniformly prepared by nutritionists hired by the show, mostly boiled vegetables and salads every day. She got anxious and insisted on sending so food over to him, fearing that your brother is too skinny and might not withstand the intense training every day."
"Yiyi is indeed thin, and it’s the ti for growth, so there’s really no need for him to eat like that."
"I also think Yiyi doesn’t need to eat so blandly, so I arranged for nutritional supplents for him. But Grandma thinks that just supplents aren’t enough; she wants to send so of his favorite dishes too. I’m heading to Beijing tomorrow, so she’s packing overnight."
Though Grandma Xie was busy packing, her ears were sharp. Listening to Xia Youqing and Ning Youguang talking about her and her dear grandson, she moved closer to the cara with a bottle of pickles, "You, are you busy working in Beijing?"
"This year is fine," Ning Youguang replied with a smile. "I’m busy with lab and school matters."
"That’s busy enough," Grandma Xie said with deep concern in her eyes. "The work you do is for the benefit of the children. Grandma can’t ask you to do less, but rember, work is work, and you must take good care of yourself."
"Okay, Grandma, I know," Ning Youguang smiled with eyes curved, voice soft. "You should also take good care of yourself at ho. Rember to take the pills I sent you last ti on ti."
"I’ve been taking them," Grandma Xie said with a cheerful smile. "Every day on ti, and I feel much better than before. I go for a walk in the park outside every morning and evening."
"That’s wonderful," Ning Youguang praised. "Grandma, if you keep living with such a routine every day, you’ll definitely stay energetic."
"Of course, I must take good care of my health and not cause trouble for the kids."
They then talked about the elderly’s health, diet, and wellness.
After that, Grandma Xie made a request to Ning Youguang, "You, since you’re near Yiyi in Beijing, if you have ti, please go see our Yiyi. Give him more encouragent. He’s competing now and really needs the support of his family."
"Don’t worry, Grandma. I will often go to see him; I also frequently ssage him on WeChat," Ning Youguang patiently assured. "Wangyue took Yiyi out for a feast this afternoon, and they haven’t co back yet."
Coincidentally, as she finished her sentence, the living room door was pushed open from outside.
Ning Youguang imdiately stood up and walked towards Shi Wangyue, who was entering, saying to Grandma Xie in the cara, "Wangyue is back."
"Ah, Wangyue is back, did you eat?" Grandma Xie said joyfully at the sight of Shi Wangyue.
"Yes, we ate," Shi Wangyue went up to the cara to greet Grandma Xie, "We had Cantonese food with Yiyi tonight."
"Cantonese food is great, Cantonese food is great," Grandma Xie said with great comfort as she watched the two good-looking faces fill up the screen. "You and Little Wang are both such good kids. With you helping to watch over Yiyi, Grandma isn’t worried anymore."
Grandma Xie was a wise old lady. She very much approved of Shi Wangyue and Ning Youguang, and she was happy to see Xie Yizun being close to them.
"I just made these pickles, they are really good. I’ll send so to you tomorrow, okay? And beef jerky, I’ll make so tomorrow and send them to you too."
"Wow, Grandma, you know how to make beef jerky too?" Grandma Xie was good at making pickles and often sent boxes of them to Ning Youguang.
Every ti Ning Youguang received them, she kept so for herself and shared the rest with her colleagues and seniors and juniors in the lab.
Even teachers liked Grandma Xie’s pickles.
"Yes," Grandma Xie said with a satisfied smile. "I use an air fryer to make them, I learned it on Douyin, it’s spicy and flavorful, really delicious."
"Wow! Amazing," Ning Youguang exclaid, showering Grandma Xie with praise.
After she was done talking with Grandma Xie and Xia Youqing,
Shi Wangyue had just finished showering and ca out of the bathroom in a bathrobe, damp and with wet hair.
"Tired?" Ning Youguang asked softly, "Let dry your hair."
She was about to put down her phone when she noticed a text ssage on it:
"[China Construction Bank] Account ending in 8631 transferred 500,000.0 yuan to your account ending in 4144 on July 14, 20:08. Transaction balance..."
She stared blankly at Shi Wangyue, "An unknown account transferred money to ."
"How much?" Shi Wangyue asked, wiping his hair as he leaned closer to her.
Ning Youguang handed her phone to him, "Here, take a look."
"It should be Uncle Xie," Shi Wangyue said after looking, "You should confirm with him."
"Why would Uncle Xie transfer money to ?" Ning Youguang asked curiously, as she sent a WeChat ssage to Xie Baosheng.
As a stepfather, Xie Baosheng was good to Ning Youguang,
But his way of being nice was usually by giving jewelry, houses, cars, rather than directly giving money like her dad and brother.
"For Yiyi’s English tutor fee," Shi Wangyue explained.
"Did you find a tutor for Yiyi?" Ning Youguang asked in surprise, "Which institution?"
"Not from an institution," Shi Wangyue said. "She is an employee of our company, a careful-working girl. Fudan undergraduate, Yale master’s, and has experience as a private foreign tutor. She can definitely teach Yiyi well."
"How co it’s your company’s employee?!" Ning Youguang was stunned.
When Shi Wangyue took the initiative to help find an English tutor for Xie Yizun, she never expected it to be solved this way.
"Isn’t it easy to find soone in our company who can teach Yiyi English?" Shi Wangyue placed the towel used to wipe his hair on the back of a chair.
"The problem is, they’re usually so busy, why would they want to tutor a middle school student like Yiyi?"
All the employees at Starlight are financial elites, earning a lot and no need to take on such a side job.
The slightly compulsive and germophobic Ning Youguang imdiately picked up the towel from the back of the chair, pulling Shi Wangyue’s still damp hand with it, "Go dry your hair."
"Darling, you should have a proper understanding of our brother’s charm," Shi Wangyue said, turning his head with a smile in his eyes, "As soon as Assistant Jin spread the word, many talented people in our company lined up to teach him."
