Chapter 737: Chapter 737: Meeting the Love Rival Chapter 737: Chapter 737: Meeting the Love Rival Shu Yu, “What’s wrong?”

The old lady poked her forehead and said, “It must have been one of the Zhang family boys who sent Dahu and the others back. Since you know what they’re thinking, stop meeting with him. I’ve already turned down the Zhang family for you.”

Not only that, in the future, she would let Dahu and Sanya visit the Zhang family less often.

As the old lady was pondering over this, she heard the joyful voice of Dahu from the courtyard, “Zhao… Brother Daniu, are you back?”

Dahu was so excited that he almost let something slip, but thankfully he stopped himself in time.

Zhao Xi walked over with a big smile and tousled the kids’ hair, “Yeah, I’m back. Did you miss me?”

“Yes.” Dahu said, and then he saw Meng Yunzheng emerge from the house, which made him even more thrilled, “Brother Meng.”

He slipped out from under Zhao Xi’s hand and ran eagerly to Meng Yunzheng, “Brother Meng, the studying method you taught me before is so effective. I can remember so many words and phrases now. I even became a teacher; I’m pretty amazing now.”

“Really?” Meng Yunzheng praised him before looking up towards Zhang Pingan, who stood somewhat awkwardly in the yard. Meng Yunzheng’s eyes were assessing, and after a moment, he lowered his gaze back to Dahu, “Though the method is effective, it’s still a shortcut. Even if you’ve memorized a lot, you must review frequently to solidify the basics. Only then can you learn deeper knowledge. It’s good to play the role of a teacher, but if it comes at the expense of your own studies, you’ve got your priorities backward, understand?”

Dahu tilted his head; he didn’t quite get it. Wasn’t being a teacher also a form of review?

But Brother Meng was a supremely learned man, one he admired and respected the most. So whatever he said must hold significant wisdom.

The little guy nodded vigorously, “Understood. So, I won’t be a teacher for now. I’ll wait until I can recite everything backwards before teaching others.”

With that said, he turned his head to Zhang Pingan, “Brother Zhang, I won’t be able to visit your place for the next few days.”

Zhang Pingan always felt that Young Master Meng harbored a strong animosity towards him. He laughed awkwardly and said to Dahu, “Alright, it’s indeed more important for you to study. I’ve delayed you for several days.”

Dahu waved a hand, “Not at all, Brother Zhang. You don’t need to feel bad.”

Meng Yunzheng snorted with a chuckle, while Zhao Xi enjoyed watching the excitement from the sidelines.

It wasn’t until Meng Yunzheng’s sharp, grim look was cast his way that Zhao Xi suddenly remembered he hadn’t reached his own deadline and hurriedly called out to the kitchen tactfully, “Grandmother, is lunch ready? We rushed back and are both starving.”

Meng Yunzheng smiled warmly at Zhang Pingan, “Brother Zhang, we just got back today and have cooked a lot of dishes at home. Would you like to stay and eat with us?”

Zhang Pingan quickly waved his hands away, “No need, no need. I was just dropping off Dahu and Sanya. I’ll be leaving now.”

Having said that, he glanced towards the kitchen. The old lady had come out and also extended an invitation, which Zhang Pingan likewise declined.

Unfortunately, he didn’t see Shu Yu come out, and with a tinge of regret, he turned and left the courtyard.

Dahu and Sanya exchanged glances–why did the atmosphere feel so strange?

Fortunately, Shu Yu’s voice soon came from the kitchen, “Time to eat; don’t just stand outside.”

The two little ones immediately ran excitedly into the kitchen, “It smells so good, Second Sister, what are we eating today?”

“Sour cabbage fish.” Shu Yu looked up as Meng Yunzheng and Zhao Xi also came in and called them over, “Let’s eat first. After we’re done, I have something great to show you.”
