The courtyard is full of my offspring

Chapter 178 He Daqing's rival, love rival appears

Red Star Courtyard

The sun was shining and the breeze was blowing gently. Ma Dongmei, leading her two children and carrying a basket of fresh eggs, slowly walked into the front yard of the courtyard.

At this moment, Yang Fengzhi, an elderly aunt who was leisurely cracking melon seeds, was suddenly stunned.

Could it be that these two children in front of me are Ma Dongmei’s?

How come they look so similar? She hastily put away the melon seeds in her hand, quickly stood up, and greeted Ma Dongmei enthusiastically!

"Oh my, Dongmei, are you back from your mother's home?"

Ma Dongmei smiled and replied, "Yes, Third Aunt. Something happened to my brother, leaving these two children with no one to take care of them, so I brought them back to our courtyard to live for a few days."

"Oh, so he is your brother's child! No wonder he looks like you!" Yang Fengzhi nodded in sudden realization.

Ma Dongmei smiled slightly to show her agreement.

In fact, she knew very well in her heart that others would definitely ask this question, so it would be better for her to explain the situation clearly first to avoid unnecessary speculation and trouble.

Seeing this, Yang Fengzhi said no more. She just smiled and nodded, watching Ma Dongmei leave with the child.

After they walked away, Yang Fengzhi sat down again and continued to eat melon seeds.

Although she did not receive the love of He Daqing during this period, she gained a lot of tangible benefits.

Thinking of this, Yang Fengzhi secretly rejoiced in her heart and was full of expectations for the future...

She had enough milk to feed Yan Jiekuang and Yan Jiefang!

It is naturally very pleasant!

The gate of a certain courtyard

A black car slowly stopped!

Peng Ling gently tidied her hair, then put on a beautiful hat and gave a sweet smile to the man sitting in the driver's seat next to her!

The man looked about the same age as Peng Ling, and was handsome and sunny. He was none other than Peng Ling’s classmate in military school—Zhang Ruoyu.

Today was his first official day at work, and since it was on his way, Zhang Ruoyu offered to take Peng Ling home.

"Just send it here! Thank you, Zhang Ruoyu!" Peng Ling said to Zhang Ruoyu gratefully.

Zhang Ruoyu smiled slightly and responded in a very gentle tone:

"Don't be so polite. We are old classmates who graduated from the same military academy! And starting tomorrow, we will work together at the Red Star Police Station!"

Hearing Zhang Ruoyu's words, Peng Ling couldn't help but feel doubtful, but she still mustered up the courage to speak out her inner doubts:

"Zhang Ruoyu, I've always been curious. Your parents are successful businessmen overseas, and your family is not short of money. The meager salary at the Red Star Police Station is nothing to you."

"But why do you choose to suffer with us grassroots staff? It's really not worth it!"

Zhang Ruoyu looked at Peng Ling, a hint of determination flashed in his eyes, and he said seriously:

"Peng Ling, maybe this is because everyone has different values."

“For me, money is not the most important thing.”

“Although my parents have achieved some success in the business field, that was their life path, and I had my own goals that I wanted to pursue.”

He paused and continued, "From childhood to adulthood, I have seen many social problems and felt the difficulties in the lives of ordinary people."

"I hope to make a contribution to this society through my own efforts, even if it's just a small change."

"Although working at the Hongxing Police Station is hard, I feel it is very meaningful because I can directly interact with ordinary people and help them solve practical problems. This sense of satisfaction cannot be replaced by money."

Peng Ling listened to Zhang Ruoyu's words and nodded thoughtfully.

She didn't expect that the seemingly easy-going Zhang Ruoyu actually had such profound thoughts and pursuits.

Zhang Ruoyu went on to say: "Moreover, working with grassroots personnel like you, I can learn a lot of things that I can't learn from books."

"The work here is more down-to-earth and allows me to understand the real social situation. I believe this experience will have a positive impact on my future development."

Peng Ling was touched by Zhang Ruoyu's sincerity. She said with emotion: "Zhang Ruoyu, you are really special. I always thought that people with your family background should pursue higher-level careers, but I ignored your true inner desire."

"After listening to your words today, I have a completely new understanding of you."

Zhang Ruoyu smiled and said:

"In fact, everyone has their own unique values ​​and life plans."

“Don’t easily use external standards to measure a person’s choices. As long as we stick to our beliefs and work hard for them, we will definitely be able to realize our dreams.”

Peng Ling smiled and said, "Well, I understand. I will also learn from you in the future and find my own direction in life. Thank you for sharing this with me today."

Zhang Ruoyu waved his hand: "You're welcome, we are friends. If you have any confusion or need help in the future, you can always talk to me."

Zhang Ruoyu’s words made Peng Ling sigh in her heart: How many people in this world are like Zhang Ruoyu who are idealistic and down-to-earth?

Perhaps it is because of their existence that this society has become better...

It's just a pity...

Zhang Ruoyu had already made some preparations for Peng Ling's questions. Looking at Peng Ling's changed opinion of him, he raised the corners of his mouth slightly and revealed a sly smile.

"Lingling! Actually you don't know! I have had a dream since I was a child!"

"What dream?"

Zhang Ruoyu said: "Serve the people!"

Then he changed the subject, "But... hey, while serving the people, I actually have a little bit of thoughts in my mind!"

"What little thoughts?"

Peng Ling blinked her eyes and asked innocently!

"Don't you understand the other reason why I went to the Red Star Police Station?"

As he spoke, Zhang Ruoyu fixed his gaze on Peng Ling, with a hint of imperceptible love flickering in his eyes.

Peng Ling's face turned slightly red!

She lowered her head and whispered: "Stop teasing me!"

"How could I tease you, Lingling? Tell you the truth! When we were in school, I was always chasing after you!"

"But you just ignored me! At that time, I felt that I was not good enough! Now I have returned from school! Can I pursue you again?"

Peng Ling laughed awkwardly: "What a joke! I am just an ordinary girl! Not only are you handsome, but your family is also a scholarly family! You are really not a good match! Master Zhang! I really can't bear it!"

"Oh! I won't say any more! I should go home! If I'm any later, my dad will be worried!"

After saying that, Peng Ling opened the car door and got out!
