Sitting in the car heading home, Mo Jingchun noticed Zhou Yaling looked troubled, lost in her thoughts.

Buckling up, Mo Jingchun asked with a smile:

"What’s the matter, Miss Zhou? Could it be because you’re going on a blind date when we get home?"

"I remember someone used to say, ’It’s just a blind date, no big deal.’"

Teased by her brother, Zhou Yaling retorted irritably:

"It’s not you going on a blind date, easy for you to say."

"Do you think Dad’s gone crazy, planning one for me every day from tomorrow until the 29th of the lunar month?"

"And worse, I have to cook for them every noon. It’s not like there’s anything certain yet! Why must the blind date be at the girl’s house? Can’t they just meet anywhere outside?"

After giving the signal for the convoy to start, Mo Jingchun turned back and said to Zhou Yaling with a smile: "You have a nice dream there, thinking our hometown is a big city where you can just meet up anywhere."

"In this cold weather, do you want two people to shiver in the wind?"

"Alright, stop complaining. If you don’t like them, just refuse directly to avoid giving them false hope."

Zhou Yaling nodded, "Definitely, I don’t want anyone ruining my reputation."

"As long as you understand. To be frank, many people who come trying to date you have their motives."

Hearing this, Zhou Yaling rolled her eyes, "Your sister’s not that dumb." Saying this, Zhou Yaling opened the notes on her phone and handed it over.

"Look, I’ve had Zero scout ahead for me."

Looking at the contents, Mo Jingchun remarked in surprise, "Not bad, you’ve got a clever mind."

"But big brother still has to remind you, there’s no perfect person in this world, everyone has flaws. The information from Zero is only for reference."

"You need to understand, life is like reading comprehension in literature, everyone has different answers. As long as it’s right in the general direction, it’s good."

Pointing at himself, Mo Jingchun joked about himself:

"Look at your big brother here, seems excellent, but still has many flaws."

Taking a serious look at her brother, Zhou Yaling nodded in agreement, "No lie there, what kind of brother messes with his sister for no reason?"

"You don’t get it, that’s a brother’s love for his sister."

Hearing this, Zhou Yaling scoffed, "Thank you oh so much."

"Please do love me a little less in the future, thank you."

Throughout the journey, Zhou Yaling kept talking continuously until the convoy reached the mountain road, at which point Zhou Yaling became exhausted and quietened down.

Half-asleep, Zhou Yaling felt someone pushing her arm.

"Wake up, you’re home, sis."

Just opening her eyes, the first thing she saw was her brother’s face.

"You’re home."

Rubbing her eyes, Zhou Yaling yawned, "Has Mom finished cooking?"

Mo Jingchun rolled his eyes and replied, "What do you think?"

It was then that Zhou Yaling realized she was the only one left in the car, even the driver was gone.

Sitting on a small stool sunbathing and eating the cherries her brother had washed, Candy smiled and said as her sister got off the car:

"Sister, you slept so soundly."

"Even calling you once couldn’t wake you up."

Out of nowhere, Zhou Xing came downstairs with a bottle of white wine and said to everyone:

"Time to eat, what are you all doing standing outside?"

After a sumptuous lunch, Mo Jingchun took Candy directly back home.

Having been away for a long time, many dead leaves had blown into the house.

With many hands making light work, despite the considerable size of the three-story house, it took Mo Jingchun and others less than half an hour to clean.

Sitting in the yard, basking in the sun and sipping tea, with nothing to do, stealing a moment of leisure, Mo Jingchun felt no pressure at all.

In the absence of wind during winter, the sun in the early afternoon was warm, as evidenced by Candy directly falling asleep in it.

Seeing Candy already asleep, Mo Jingchun smiled and said to Zero:

"After you took the red envelope away, why did you put it back when you saw I had checked it?"

Zero’s eyes widened instantly, unable to comprehend the boss with its multifunctional electronic eyes.

Zero couldn’t understand why the boss thought differently from others, and why he would check again.

"What kind of look is that? I didn’t touch your red envelopes, they’re still under the drawer; I just took a peek and didn’t touch a thing."

"Boss, why would you even check again? Big data analysis shows normal people wouldn’t look again."

Hearing this, Mo Jingchun burst out laughing.

"Since when did you start believing in big data without considering real situations? Let’s just say, is my thinking pattern like a normal person’s? Completely different!"

Zero was left speechless by Mo Jingchun’s remark.

Indeed, the boss is unlike ordinary people, how could they have believed the result of big data analysis back then.

On the 28th of the lunar month, just two days away from New Year’s Eve.

After Candy’s persistent urging, Mo Jingchun finally took Candy to the town to shop for New Year’s goods today.

Walking on the street, Candy held Zero’s hand, looking around.

As far as the eye could see, it was red everywhere, so festive.

The street was crowded with people, and even the road which usually never had traffic jams was now packed.

Because of this, even though Zero and Feiyan were always watching Candy, Mo Jingchun couldn’t help but frequently turn back to check on Candy when shopping.

Amidst people and cars everywhere, there were safety hazards as far as the eye could see.

"Selling candied hawthorn... candied strawberries..."

Seeing the vendor selling candied hawthorn, Candy was just about to ask her brother to buy some, but as she turned around, a phone was handed to her.

"Go buy it yourself."

"Just don’t waste money."

Holding the phone, Candy beamed, "Thank you, brother."

After saying this, Candy rushed towards the uncle who stood still.

"Uncle, do you accept mobile payments?"

"Yes."

"Then I’ll have one candied hawthorn and one candied strawberry."

"Twelve yuan."

Holding the candied hawthorn, Candy paused slightly.

"12?"

"Uncle, I’m good at math, it’s 5 yuan each, two should be 10 yuan."

Last time I bought them in the county, it was still 5 yuan, this uncle is too bad, only picking on those they think don’t understand.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got, so Candy simply returned the candied hawthorn to the uncle.

"Either 10 yuan or I don’t want them."

The middle-aged uncle was impressed with the pouting Candy, this young kid had already learned to bargain, truly a haggling expert born in the countryside.

Stuffing the candied hawthorn back into Candy’s hand, the uncle said helplessly:

"Alright alright, I’ll sell it at a loss to you for 10 yuan."

After the mobile payment was successful, Candy looked up and earnestly said to the uncle:

"Uncle, you won’t sell at a loss, you’ll still make a good profit."
