Reborn in 1994, escaping from marriage and going sea fishing, I won!

Chapter 1052 1 Satisfaction

Liu Meilan nodded. "I'm happy. It's been a long time since I've been out eating, drinking and having fun with friends. It's fun."

Professor Xie smiled and said, "When I was in the army, I often cooked something and invited your father's comrades to our house for dinner. The adults would eat and chat while the children took a few bites and then ran out to play."

"In the compound, there are groups of children, mischievous but not dangerous. That's when we relax and feel happy. Afterwards, we can devote ourselves to our new work with greater energy. The same goes for you young people."

"Work and career are certainly important, but slowing down the pace of life amidst the busyness is truly a very good way to relax. I'm very happy to see you doing this. Enjoying life is the second step to living a good life."

Liu Meilan asked in surprise: "What is the first step?"

Professor Xie flicked his daughter's head, "Silly girl, the first step is of course to have enough food and clothing, and a smooth career! Only then can you have a material foundation. If not, you must work hard and make money quickly, right?"

Liu Meilan smiled and said, "That's true. Without a material foundation, everything else is just empty talk."

Professor Xie nodded, agreeing deeply. "A poor couple has many sorrows. This is also what parents have experienced. When facing their children's marriage, they hope to find someone of equal status, at least financially. There is a certain foundation, so that they don't have to argue about life matters, which can avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble."

Liu Meilan benefited greatly from her mother's valuable words.

As they were talking, there was a knock on the door.

Liu Meilan looked through the peephole and saw Aunt Qin holding a plate of water chestnut cake. She immediately opened the door and said, "Aunt Qin, you made water chestnut cake. It's so good."

Mrs. Qin smiled and said, "Since the child is not making a fuss today, I made some time to cook it. Meixiang likes it, and I heard you like it too, so I brought it here specially for you."

Liu Meilan took it and poured it into her own plate. She immediately washed the plate and put the chestnut cake that Professor Xie bought on it. "Aunt Qin, the chestnut cake is also good. I'll give you a few pieces to try."

Mrs. Qin took it without hesitation and asked, "Meilan, what did Meixiang talk about with Ye Lingling?"

"Ah?" Liu Meilan was stunned. "Aunt Qin, do you know?"

Aunt Qin chuckled, "Mei Xiang was on the balcony answering the phone, and I heard it. She didn't tell me because she didn't want me to worry, so I didn't ask. But I think Ye Lingling is confused, but Ye Guang is not. He probably won't condone Ye Lingling's reckless behavior, so there's no danger."

Liu Meilan's eyes showed admiration. "You are a great mother-in-law. Ye Lingling did come to apologize to Meixiang. It seems that without an apology in person, Ye Lingling feels that Meixiang has not forgiven her and cannot go abroad with peace of mind."

"Whether it's sincere or not, Meixiang's idea is simple: it's better to resolve a feud than to create one. Ye Lingling has already been imprisoned and received the punishment she deserves. If there were any smart people in the Ye family, they wouldn't continue to be so stubborn as before."

Mrs. Qin breathed a sigh of relief. "Yes, Meixiang's idea is very good. Now that we have turned the page, Ye Lingling can start a new life, and we can live our lives in peace."

Liu Meilan nodded, "Yes, don't worry. Meixiang didn't tell you because she didn't want you to worry, for the sake of your health."

Mrs. Qin smiled and said, "I understand. Meixiang is a simple-minded girl, and I can see through her at a glance. She is kind to me, and I remember it in my heart. Today, Meixiang went shopping and remembered to buy me clothes. She has a good taste. Not only does it fit me well, but it also looks good."

Mrs. Qin was extremely satisfied with Liu Meixiang. She used to think that Liu Meixiang's family conditions might not be very good and that it might not be easy to get along with her in the future.

But now it seems that I was worrying too much. My daughter-in-law's younger brother was admitted to the best military university in the country and is a very outstanding talent in the school. Such a person is destined to be handed over to the country for the rest of his life.

My daughter-in-law's parents, one runs a convenience store and the other works on a fishing boat. Although both are very low-level jobs, they make a lot of money and are very reasonable.

Now Mrs. Qin is very glad that her son Qin Ming insisted on being with Liu Meixiang, and now he lives a smooth and happy life.

Liu Meixiang gave birth to a child as soon as she got married. Now that she is retired, she is able to help take care of the child and has no difficulty adjusting to the new life.

Mrs. Qin's former colleagues have become mentally unstable due to having nothing to do after retirement.

Mrs. Qin had none of that. She took care of the children seamlessly and tried new things with her daughter-in-law. She lived a wonderful life.

Mrs. Qin got the confirmation from Liu Meilan, and felt relieved, so she left with the plate.

Professor Xie closed the door and raised his eyebrows slightly, "See? Meixiang is a very smart child!"

Liu Meilan said proudly: "Of course, she is my sister."

Thinking back to her past life, Liu Meixiang and her second uncle and aunt had tried to save her, but they couldn't handle that bastard Sun Jianan. Fortunately, Sun Jianan was dead now, otherwise Liu Meilan would have had no way to vent her hatred.

While eating snacks and watching TV, Liu Meilan asked, "Mom, are you done with your work?"

Professor Xie shook his head. "There's an academic conference tomorrow. What's wrong? Is there something going on?"

Liu Meilan replied: "The thing is, Le Mei and I are planning to build a kindergarten..."

"That's a good thing!" Professor Xie continued. "While our Chinese language is beautiful, English is a universal language. Learning English well is essential, and starting in kindergarten is also a good idea."

Liu Meilan nodded. "Yes, we need to learn. But we need to open a kindergarten first. The current kindergarten can no longer meet our needs."

Professor Xie agreed. "Some time ago, I visited the kindergarten on the island and it's really not good enough. Are you busy and want my help?"

Liu Meilan waved her hand. "No, I can handle it myself. I'll go find Mayor Tang when I get back. He's a man who gets things done. He's more motivated than anyone else to improve the island's education. I'll pay for the kindergarten, and he'll use his connections to get the teachers here."

Professor Xie smiled. "That's a good idea. Mayor Tang should be very happy with it. After all, he has many grandchildren. Who wouldn't want their children to receive a good education?"

In fact it is.

The next day, after Liu Meilan returned to the island, she told Mayor Tang about this idea.

Mayor Tang immediately slammed the table and said, "Okay, teachers and childcare workers, I'll go and coordinate."

Liu Meilan smiled and said, "Can this land be allocated to the kindergarten?"

Mayor Tang took a look and said, "Okay, this used to be an activity center for the elderly. It's fallen into disrepair and everyone goes to the small square instead. We can tear it down and rebuild it into a good kindergarten. The children on the island will benefit from it."

He has a lot of grandchildren, and they can probably all use it. Building a kindergarten can also be considered doing something practical for the villagers on the island.
