"Chaochao wants to eat steak."
Chaochao crawled out from under the towel and shouted loudly.
"Don't move, Dad will clean it for you."
Yan Peng asked Zhou Chen again: "Brother, what about you?"
Zhou Chen said: "Then let's go to the western restaurant. I'll just have a bite."
"Okay, I know a good western restaurant nearby."
"Huanhuan, Chaochao, put on your coats, we are leaving."

Chapter 11 Mother-in-law Talks About Son-in-law
"Xia Junshan has become bolder now. He took Huanhuan and Chaochao out to play and left you alone at home. I will have a talk with him when he comes back."
Zhao Na was lying on the sofa with a facial mask covering her face, pressing it with her hands while talking.
Nan Li was tidying up her room. After hearing what her mother said, she quickly said, "Mom, what are you thinking about? Xia Junshan took the children to the gymnasium to play basketball with Yan Peng. I didn't want to go at all. That's why I came to see you when I had time."
"Yan Peng? Is he the son-in-law of the old mistress?"
Zhao Na suddenly sat up, and as she did so, the facial mask fell down. She was so scared that she hurriedly put it back on.
"Yes, it's Tian Yulan's husband. He often invites Xia Junshan to play basketball together. I saw that the weather was good today, so I asked him to bring Huanhuan and Chaochao with him."
"Mom, I've told you so many times to throw away the garbage on the same day. It will smell if left for too long."
Nan Li took the garbage bag out of the trash can and said to her mother helplessly.
Zhao Na said, "It's just from yesterday. There wasn't much, so I didn't throw it away. How can there be any smell?"
Nan Li sighed. This eldest princess' mother was really a cause for concern. If she didn't come for a week, who knows what a mess the house would be in.
Even though she has been divorced for nearly twenty years, Zhao Na still needs someone to take care of her. This is why she insisted on buying a house in Times Huating. Because it is close to here, she can take care of her mother, the eldest princess.
"Lili, let me tell you, you can go to the old man, Xia Junshan can date Yan Peng, but you have to be careful with the mother and daughter of Lao Xiaosan. They are not good people. The old man has been confused by them, and you can't guarantee that he will do something without thinking."
"Mom, don't worry. I don't bother to care about that mother and daughter. If the old man hadn't insisted on asking us to go back, I wouldn't want to go there. I might as well stay with you."
"It's good to know."
Zhao Na was very satisfied with her daughter's words. She only had Nan Li as her daughter now, and she didn't want Nan Li to be fooled by that mistress again.
"By the way, I heard from Chaochao that you have been doing the housework recently. What's going on? Didn't Xia Junshan always take the initiative to do it before? Does he have any objections?"
Nan Li said, "Mom, can you please stop imagining this? Xia Junshan is busy recently. I just need to go back to cook dinner. It's not tiring. Most of the housework can be done by part-time workers."
"That won't do. You're already working hard, how can you go home at night and have to serve them? That's Xia Junshan's job, isn't it? What's there to be busy about?"
Zhao Na felt sorry for her daughter. She was not very happy when Nan Li followed Xia Junshan because she looked down on Xia Junshan because he came from a small county town and had complicated family relationships.
However, after they got married, Xia Junshan treated Nan Li very well, so she didn't say anything.
But recently she found out that Nan Li had started doing housework, which made her unhappy. How could she accept this?
Nan Li said helplessly, "Mom, please don't worry about it. He is working hard for our family. He is indeed busy recently. It's not a big deal. It's not worth you making such a fuss about it."
"I just feel sorry for you. Well, since it doesn't matter to you, I won't say anything more."
"I know you are doing this for my own good, Princess. I wonder what you would like to eat for lunch. I will make it for you."
"There's steak at home, can you help me get it?"
Zhou Chen and his friends came to a western restaurant. Just ordering some random food cost several hundred yuan, but Yan Peng didn't care.
This amount of money is just a drop in the bucket for him, because he doesn't spend much money on a normal day, and at most he just charges some money for playing games.
"Huanhuan, I heard from Ziyou that the singing competition you participated in is about to enter the finals. How is it going? Are you confident?"
While waiting for the meal to be served, Yan Peng asked Huanhuan.
Huan Huan said confidently: "Mom and Dad will come over to cheer me on. I will definitely get first place."
Although her academic performance was not very good since she was a child, she was good at extracurricular activities, especially singing and dancing, and she could even be a little host.
"Really? If you can really get first place, your uncle-in-law will treat you to a big meal next time." Yan Peng patted his chest and promised.
"Really? Uncle, then I want to eat at the Fairy Tale Restaurant."
Fairy Tale Restaurant is a very famous children's restaurant in the city. It not only provides food and drinks, but also places for leisure and entertainment. Many children like to go there, but because the consumption is quite high, Huanhuan cannot go there often.
"Let's talk about it after you get first place." Zhou Chen patted Huanhuan's head.
Because it was Sunday, there were quite a few people in the restaurant at noon. What surprised Zhou Chen was that there was a violinist playing in the restaurant.
The food was served quickly. Huanhuan and Chaochao both ordered ice cream. Zhou Chen said to them, "Eat slowly and eat less. Otherwise, you will have diarrhea when you go back, and your mother will scold me."
"I got it, Dad."
Huanhuan and Chaochao were both busy eating, while Zhou Chen was cutting steaks for them with a knife and fork.
Yan Peng said enviously: "Brother, your family is still the best. Unlike me, even if I want to take Ziyou out for dinner, I have to ask Tian Yulan for permission."
"You asked for it. Who told you to be a hands-off boss?"
Zhou Chen rolled his eyes. Yan Peng had a very good personality, but to some extent, he did not fulfill his responsibilities as a father. Of course, this was not entirely Yan Peng's fault. It was mainly because Tian Yulan was too powerful. Even if Yan Peng wanted to ask, he couldn't.
Huan Huan, who was full and satisfied, took advantage of Zhou Chen going to the bathroom and whispered to Yan Peng: "Uncle, let me tell you, my dad is amazing. He has been writing novels at home recently. He also said that when he makes money, he will take Chao Chao and me to Disneyland."
"Writing a novel? You said your father is writing a novel?"
Yan Peng was shocked. After knowing each other for so many years, how come he didn't know that Xia Junshan had such ability?
"Well, I think Dad will be able to make a lot of money, and then take us out to play and buy me a lot of dolls." Huanhuan looked forward to it with a happy face.
When Zhou Chen came back, he found Yan Peng looking at him strangely, and asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"
Yan Peng came over and asked, "Brother, can you write novels?"
Zhou Chen knew what was going on as soon as he heard it. He glanced at Huan Huan who was smiling, and could only answer: "Yes, I did write a novel recently."
Yan Peng immediately asked: "Brother, I also like to read novels. Where did you write it? Tell me so I can read it too."
Zhou Chen was a little embarrassed: "Forget it, I just wrote it casually, there's nothing good to see."
"No, brother, tell me. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else. If you write well, I can help you promote it. Let me tell you, among our group of game-playing friends, there are many who like to read novels, and there are quite a few rich people among them."
Being pestered by Yan Peng with questions, Zhou Chen had no choice but to tell him.
"Don't talk nonsense."
"Brother, I, you are still worried."
It’s because of you that I’m worried... Zhou Chen thought to himself.

Chapter 12 Mi Tao's mother, the lovely Nan Li
After dinner, Yan Peng drove back, while Zhou Chen took Huanhuan and Chaochao to the gym again, walked around the playground twice to digest the food, then played football with the two children for a while, rested for a while, and then drove home.
When I got home, I found that Nan Li had already returned.
"You guys are back. Hey, what did you do? Why are you so dirty?"
Nan Li pulled Huanhuan and Chaochao over and found that the new clothes they wore in the morning were dirty, and even their faces were covered with dust.
"Mom, I played football with my sister and dad."
He shouted happily, playing for several hours without looking tired at all and still full of energy.
"It's so dirty."
Nan Li muttered a few words, then said to Zhou Chen: "You take Chaochao to take a bath, and I will bathe Huanhuan."
Although Nan Li takes care of Chaochao most of the time, Zhou Chen is the one who takes care of him when it comes to bathing. After more than half a month, Zhou Chen has already gotten used to it.
"Okay, Chaochao, let's go take a bath with daddy."
It took more than an hour, and when Zhou Chen came out of the shower, he saw Nan Li putting their dirty clothes into the washing machine.
"Honey, our previous part-time worker has quit. I hired a new one today. I came to see her this afternoon. She's very hardworking and down-to-earth. What's more, her daughter is actually in the same school and class as our Huanhuan. Isn't that a coincidence?"
Nan Li wiped her hands, sat next to Zhou Chen, and talked about the newly hired hourly worker.
Zhou Chen showed a look of surprise. He was previously wondering why the hourly worker at home was not Mi Tao's mother but an unfamiliar aunt. He thought that something had changed in the plot.
It turns out that it’s not that the plot has changed, but that the time has not come yet. Look, Mi Tao’s mother is here.
"Really? That's really fate."
Zhou Chen, who has watched the TV series, has some understanding of Mi Tao's mother. Although she is a little scheming, she is still a very nice person. She is down-to-earth, capable, hardworking, and has a very good attitude.
In the play, even a picky person like the Princess can recognize her, which is quite affirmative.
As for scheming, who doesn't have some scheming in today's society? Moreover, it's for the sake of children. As long as they haven't done anything bad, what does it matter?
The situation of Mi Tao's family in the play is actually more realistic and reflects the family situation of the general public.
If parents have no education or ability, who else can they rely on except their children?
It's not surprising what parents do for their children.
"Yeah, I think so too. I heard from her that their family just transferred here from the county below this semester. They know everything about them and are more reassuring than the previous part-time workers."
Nan Li is a more emotional person. Although she has not had contact with her for many times, she already has a good feeling towards Mi Tao’s mother.
Zhou Chen asked: "Are you still coming to clean every afternoon?"
Nan Li nodded: "Two hours every afternoon, but you've been busy writing novels recently, so I asked Mi Tao's mother to come over on Saturdays and Sundays, also for two hours. You can leave after lunch is ready."
"Alright."
Zhou Chen naturally would not object. Because he had been writing a novel, he had not done much housework recently, so Nan Li was in charge of it.
However, Nan Li will soon take up the position of acting director. She will definitely be very busy for performance gains and may have to work overtime on Saturdays and Sundays, so don't expect her to do housework like she did these days.
In this case, it would be perfect to ask Mi Tao's mother to help on Saturdays and Sundays.
"I've already discussed the salary with her. I'll settle the bill with her when the time comes. You don't have to worry about it."
Zhou Chen held Nan Li's shoulders and squeezed them gently: "You've been working really hard lately, don't worry, your husband will make money soon, and the luxury car is already waving at you."
"Just blow it."
Nan Li patted Zhou Chen gently, but still showed a happy smile. Although she was a strong woman outside, she did not reject doing housework at home. But while doing housework, her husband's understanding and care were what made her feel most at ease.
"I don't expect luxury cars or anything like that. I'll be satisfied if you can earn enough to buy Huanhuan a few dolls."
"Lili, you look down on your husband too much. How much are a few dolls worth? He has to have dolls, luxury cars, and many other things."
Zhou Chen felt that he was being looked down upon. After all, it was a very popular novel. Even if it was released into this world, it would not be enough to make just a few dollars.
Just as he was about to explain a few words, his cell phone suddenly vibrated. He looked down and saw that it was a message from the writer's assistant.
"Fuck, who gave me a silver alliance?"
Nan Li saw Zhou Chen's shocked expression and asked curiously, "What's wrong? What Silver Alliance?"
Zhou Chen hurriedly explained: "The Silver Alliance is a reward from readers to authors. One million points is equivalent to 10,000 yuan in cash, and the author and the platform split it in half."
Nan Li was surprised and said, "You mean, you can earn 5,000 yuan from a silver alliance?"
"Yes, my wife is really smart."
Zhou Chen was a little proud: "You have seen your husband's strength, right? Although it has not been put on the shelves yet, this time's Silver Alliance, plus the previous rewards, has made a lot of money."
