HCB Chapter 743 2 Not Confused 3
Chapter 743 2 Not Confused 3
There's still a long time before the story begins, and Zhou Xun is the only character mentioned in the story who has appeared beside Meng Yubei.
She doesn't have any side quests this time either, so the plot is still unrelated to her.
However, because she arrived so early, she still has to study and will have to work hard to earn money after graduating from university.
After all, this time, everyone in her family is a normal person, so she should just live her life as usual.

At 5:30 p.m., Meng Yubei and Meng Yunan were in the kitchen, one cooking rice and the other washing vegetables.
As for cooking, the two had a clear division of labor, with each person cooking two dishes.
Neither Meng Yubei nor her parents thought it was bad for Meng Yunan to be too young to do chores; they thought it was good to train him to be a man who was capable of doing chores.
The three of them agreed that the kid had too much energy and should do more work to prevent him from running around.
Especially since their area is not far from the sea, many children like to take cold showers during the summer vacation.
Even if the children grow up by the sea, the parents still worry that they might drown.
"Sis, I have the lowest status in our family. You all have a say, but I don't. Let me tell you... blah blah... uh... what is this?!"
Meng Yunan was washing vegetables and talking non-stop when suddenly everything went dark and a cloth appeared on her head.
"Wear the apron and start cooking. You're talking too much. If you keep going, I'll get itchy to arm wrestle with you."
"Haha, no need, no need, I won't say anything more. You're cooking, right? I'll start right away," Meng Yinan said with an embarrassed smile as she put on her apron.
He wouldn't dare to arm wrestle with his sister; that wasn't just a simple arm wrestling match, but rather a way to loosen his bones.
At seven o'clock in the evening, the family sat in the living room, eating around the dining table.
While eating, Meng's father asked, "Xiao Bei, did your little brother go out to play today?"
"Dad, I'm right here and you're still asking my sister? How little do you trust your son?" Meng Yinan said resentfully.
Upon hearing this, Meng's father looked at him with disdain: "You have no trust in me."
"That's right, some people are too thick-skinned, no matter how much you hit them, it's useless, and what they say has no credibility," Meng's mother said with a smile and a hint of mischief.
Meng Yinan pouted and looked at Meng Yubei, who was watching the commotion without saying a word: "Sis~ look at them, you should tell Mom and Dad that I didn't run around today, and prove my innocence."
“Speak properly.” Meng Yubei rolled her eyes at him.
She's such a grown-up, yet her voice is so unpleasant during puberty, and she's always pouting and acting cute, which gives her a bit of a headache.
"Alright, sister, please go ahead."
"Hahaha." Meng's parents were amused by their son's frustrated expression.
Meng Yubei then spoke up: "Mom and Dad, he was actually quite well-behaved today."
As soon as she spoke, the two believed her instantly. Meng's mother said with a smile, "Only you can keep an eye on him at home. School starts in two weeks. Your parents will buy you a new phone. We're off tomorrow, so we'll take you to pick one out."
"Mom and Dad, my phone still works." She's only had her phone for a little over a year, so she doesn't really care about that.
She has a lot of electronic products in her space, and she's not really a child herself.
But it must be said that this time, her parents really treated their daughter very well.
Upon hearing this, Meng's mother still insisted: "It's okay, just give the old phone to your younger brother, so he won't fight with you for the computer every day and it will affect his studies."
“Xiao Nan is only in the second year of junior high school. It’s too early to give her a cell phone now,” said Mr. Meng.
Seeing that the phone he was about to get might slip away, Meng Yinan quickly said, "It's not too early, not too early. Almost all my classmates have phones. I promise it won't affect my studies."
Although he can't get a new phone, it's not bad to get his sister's old phone.
Seeing his reaction, Meng's mother nodded: "Alright then, you can use your sister's phone for now, and we'll buy you a new one when you get into high school."
"Yeah, thanks, Mom."
"Hmm? Aren't you going to thank me and your sister?" Mr. Meng said sarcastically.
"Thank you, Dad, sis, uh... sister."
"You brat, hahaha."
The family chatted and laughed, and the atmosphere at home looked harmonious and wonderful.

After watching TV with her family in the living room for two hours, Meng Yubei glanced at the time and realized it was already 9:30.
She stood up and said, "Mom and Dad, I'm going upstairs to take a shower."
"Go ahead, remember to come down for breakfast tomorrow," Meng's mother said, looking at her.
My daughter likes to sleep in during her holidays.
She was always worried that skipping breakfast would be bad for her stomach, so she would make sure she got up and ate whenever she had time.
Meng Yubei nodded helplessly, thinking that she wouldn't be able to sleep in tomorrow: "Okay, goodnight, Mom and Dad. You should get some rest too."
“Sister, I’m here for you too,” Meng Yinan, the conspicuous one, jumped out again.
"Okay, goodnight to you too," Meng Yubei said perfunctorily before going upstairs.
There are four rooms on the second floor. Their parents live in one room, Meng Yubei and Meng Yubei each live in one room, and the remaining room is used as a study.
The third floor consists of guest rooms, which can be used by relatives to stay during holidays. The fourth floor is a terrace.
Back in her room, before taking a shower, Meng Yubei turned on the air conditioner to cool down and lit a mosquito coil.
Her room has a small rectangular balcony. If you open the door and stand on the balcony, you can see the sea in the distance.
There is a hanging chair and a small table and chairs on the balcony. When it's not too hot, she will sit outside and enjoy the breeze.
It was still early, so she took out a bottle of sparkling wine from her spatial storage and started drinking it, while also looking for a novel that might catch her eye.
Having read novels for so many years, she has become very picky; there are very few that she can finish reading.

Next door, Zhou Xun was in a completely different state from Meng Yubei and her brother, who were both relaxed.
After finishing his meal, he went back to his room to continue reading and doing exercises.
With two years left until the college entrance examination, he cannot afford to relax.
Around ten o'clock, Zhou's father knocked on the door and told him to go to bed early. Only then did Zhou Xun put down his pen, take a shower, and go to bed.
He has a regular schedule, usually getting up early and going to bed early every day, so he falls asleep soon after lying in bed.
In his sleep, Zhou Xun saw something, first frowned, then relaxed.
The next morning, he opened his eyes and stared blankly for a long time before calming down and getting out of bed to take a shower.
I just finished showering and went upstairs to the terrace to hang my washed pants to dry.
As he was about to go downstairs, he heard his father calling from downstairs again.
"Zhou Xun, come down and have breakfast quickly." Zhou's father's voice was very loud.
Zhou Xun glanced at the balcony of the house next door, and seeing that no one was watching him, he quickly turned around and went downstairs.
When he went downstairs, he saw his father sitting at the dining table, on which was the breakfast he had prepared.
