Reborn in 1979: I Raised a Fortune with Four Daughters

Chapter 276 I've Come Back to Visit You

Like wild horses, the students eagerly packed their bags and rushed out of the classroom.

Ye Wentao calmly tidied up the books and stationery on his desk, neatly put them into his schoolbag, and then got up and walked to the back corner of the classroom, where his slightly old but spotless bicycle was parked.

He gently pushed the car, slowly making his way through the bustling crowd, and arrived at the carport.

He stood there quietly, his gaze occasionally drifting towards the exit of the teaching building, as if waiting for someone.

Before long, a petite girl with delicate features appeared in his line of sight.

The girl was Zhao Zhaodi, and she walked briskly towards them.

Ye Wentao's lips curled up slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile.

As Zhao Di approached, he said softly, "Zhao Di, let's go."

As they spoke, the two walked side by side toward the school gate.

As soon as they arrived at the school gate, they saw a sunny and handsome boy walking towards them.

The boy had a bright smile on his face, his eyes fixed on Zhao Zhaodi.

Before Zhao Zhaodi could react, the boy had already walked up to her and greeted her warmly:

"Zhao Di, get out of class is over!"

Upon hearing the voice, Zhao Zhaodi looked up and then responded with a smile:

"Yes, Runping."

Ye Wentao, who had been silently observing everything, understood a lot from the boy named Chen Runping's eyes the moment they met.

The admiring and expectant look in his eyes immediately made Ye Wentao realize that the person in front of him was clearly one of Zhao Zhaodi's many suitors.

"Zhao Di, who is this...?"

Ye Wentao turned to look at Zhao Zhaodi and asked in a calm tone.

Zhao Zhaodi quickly explained:

"Oh, this is my classmate Chen Runping, and this is classmate Ye Wentao."

After speaking, she pointed to the two men and gave them brief introductions.

Although Ye Wentao and Chen Runping were both well aware of each other's feelings for Zhao Zhaodi, they still extended their hands and shook hands with each other out of politeness.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the three of them hopped on their bicycles and prepared to set off.

The wheels turned, making a slight creaking sound, accompanied by a gentle breeze brushing past my ears.

However, the atmosphere along the way was somewhat awkward.

Ye Wentao remained silent, focusing intently on pedaling his bicycle.

Chen Runping would steal glances at Zhao Zhaodi beside him from time to time, trying to find a topic to break the deadlock, but each time he swallowed back the words that were about to come out.

Caught in the middle, Zhao Zhaodi was in a dilemma. She would occasionally chime in with a few words, but most of the time she could only use a smile to hide her inner unease.

When they arrived at Zhao Zhaodi's house, she jumped off her bicycle, said goodbye to the two men, and pushed her bicycle into her house.

That evening, the moonlight shone like water into the courtyard. After finishing her dinner, Zhao Zhaodi received a call from Yan Meili, who told her that everyone should get together the next day.

Zhao Zhaodi slowly put down the phone she was holding tightly, let out a soft sigh, and then quietly sat down at her desk to prepare for her studies.

Just then, a soft but crisp knocking sound came from outside the courtyard.

The courtyard was quiet. Mom and Grandma had already taken the three younger sisters out, and Dad was alone in the room.

Zhao Zhaodi, who was organizing books inside the house, was slightly taken aback when she heard the knocking. She then quickly stood up and walked towards the door.

Zhao Zhaodi opened the courtyard gate, and there stood Chen Runping. He had dressed up specially for the day, wearing a sharp dark blue suit with a light blue tie, looking exceptionally energetic.

He smiled, his eyes gentle as water, and Zhao Zhaodi's heart skipped a beat; an indescribable feeling welled up inside her.

"You... what brings you here? Is there something you need?"

Zhao Zhaodi tried her best to keep her voice calm, but her slightly trembling tone betrayed the turmoil in her heart.

Chen Runping looked at the somewhat shy Zhao Zhaodi in front of him, and a warm smile appeared on his lips:

"Well, I came to tell you that our old classmates in Beijing are planning a get-together tomorrow. Yan Meili and the others are on their way! Also, since I'm back, I should visit my grandparents, uncles, and aunts. I wonder if they're home right now?"

After listening, Zhao Zhaodi composed herself slightly and said softly:

"Oh, I see. Well... please come in first."

As she spoke, she stepped aside to make way for Chen Runping to enter the house.

Chen Runping walked into the courtyard and parked his brand-new bicycle steadily against the wall.

Then, he took a bag full of gifts from the handlebars and strode briskly into the house, calling out as he went:

"Grandpa, Grandma, Uncle, Aunt, I'm back to visit you!"

"Comrade Chen, you're back from your vacation? Oh, and you even brought some things with you."

Upon hearing the voices, Zhao Yuan immediately came out of the house and greeted them warmly.

Chen Runping smiled and said energetically:

"Yes, Uncle! I was sent out on a secret mission a while ago. After I finished, my superiors granted me a month's leave to visit my family, so I rushed back to see everyone." As he spoke, he handed the items in his hand to Zhaoyuan.

"Come in and have a seat,"

Zhao Yuan smiled and invited Chen Runping into the house while taking the things Chen Runping handed him.

Then, he quickly walked to the coffee table, preparing to brew a pot of hot tea to serve his guests.

Chen Runping didn't stand on ceremony and said, "Uncle, I'll make the tea myself."

At this moment, Zhao Zhaodi also entered the main room upon hearing the noise.

She glanced at Chen Runping first, a slight blush rising to her cheeks, then felt somewhat uncomfortable remaining in the main room, so she whispered:

"You guys chat for a bit, I'm going to the study to read for a while."

After saying that, he hurriedly left the main room.

Chen Runping appeared very generous and natural. He brewed some tea for himself, found a seat, and started chatting with Zhaoyuan.

After all, he had been in the army for several months. During this time, he not only improved his physical fitness, but also learned how to communicate better with others.

Nowadays, Chen Runping speaks eloquently and humorously, making Zhaoyuan laugh heartily. The two chatted happily in the main room, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.

Just as they were having a lively conversation, there was a soft knock on the door.

Upon hearing the noise, Zhao Zhaodi quickly put down her book and ran to the courtyard to open the door.

When she slowly pushed open the door, she found that Ye Wentao was standing outside.
