For three consecutive days, Xiao Hao and Wang Xin stayed at Chen Hong's house. Chen Hong would prepare nutritious meals for them in the morning and evening, and would also take them for a run in the evening.

During the day, in addition to preparing and drying abalone and sea cucumber, she would go out to sea in the afternoon to slaughter a batch of bluefin tuna.

When returning to Hong Kong, send twenty or thirty sea bass, golden croaker, and other common fish to the hotel.

Whenever she was at home, she never stopped supplying the hotel with seafood, which was always freshly caught and eaten immediately.

Chen Hong had already booked her flight for 2 PM on Friday.

Yu Yang didn't go to school on Friday, and Xiao Hao and Wang Xin were handed back to Xiao Hao's mother for care. Chen Hong then started packing her luggage for Beijing.

Chen Hong bought an adult plane ticket for Yu Yang, not caring about the two or three hundred yuan saved on the child ticket.

Actually, when airlines offer discounts, adult tickets are sometimes cheaper than children's tickets.

In addition, each adult ticket holder can check in 30 kilograms of luggage for free.

After consulting with airline customer service, Chen Hong recalled the scene of Wang Baoqiang guzzling a bucket of milk at the airport.

The regulations for checked baggage on airplanes are very strict; the total amount of liquids per person cannot exceed two thousand milliliters.

You can't bring anything with an unusual smell, including fruits and seafood.

After ruling this out, Chen Hong realized that the airline was actually targeting her!

These are all the things she wanted to take to Beijing! In order not to become a real-life Wang Baoqiang, Chen Hong had to re-plan her packing.

I still had to bring honey, strictly adhering to the airline's regulations, carrying 4,000 milliliters, which was divided into eight sealed bottles.

Since I can't bring what I want, I can only bring more dried fruit.

Even so, Chen Hong had to be careful not to use varieties with strong odors, which caused her a lot of trouble!

Chen Hong ate lunch early at 11 a.m. that day, and took her child to the airport at 12 p.m. to pick up the tickets, get the boarding passes, and check in the luggage.

At 2 o'clock, we finally boarded the passenger plane from Weihai to Beijing.

It was Yu Yang's first time flying, and his excitement turned into nervousness as soon as he entered the airport.

I followed closely behind my mother the whole way, not daring to stray even a step away.

Chen Hong held his hand and explained as they walked, showing him how to put his luggage on the conveyor belt, how to get his boarding pass, and the various regulations for baggage check-in.

I explained everything to him in general terms to ease his tension.

When the plane took off, I put a piece of dried fruit in his mouth for him to chew on, worried that my son would be scared because of the pressure difference in his ears.

Fortunately, Yu Yang is in good health and doesn't feel any discomfort.

Only after landing safely, collecting their luggage, and leading their son out of the airport did the mother and son exchange a smile, finally putting their minds at ease after the journey.

With my luggage easily in hand, I hailed a taxi and headed straight for the courtyard house in Houhai.

I got home at just four o'clock. The traffic in the city center is quite congested right now, and this was before even the rush hour for commuting to work or school!

This spring, Beijing was hit by a massive smog event.

In fact, when it comes to living environment, Beijing really can't compare to Rongcheng, a coastal city.

Although the houses in Houhai are quiet in the middle of the city and have a better living environment than other residential areas, the air quality is far inferior to that of Yujiacun.

This place simply benefits from its geographical advantage as a cultural and political center, and its educational and medical resources are among the best in the country.

The children can study and work here. Beijing can only serve as a place for them to stay for work and study. If they want to retire, Chen Hong will still have to return to Rongcheng.

Opening the heavy, imposing gate, Chen Hong led her son home.

"Mom, is this really our home in Beijing? It looks just like a grand mansion in a TV drama! It's so beautiful."

The mother and daughter walked through the first courtyard, along the path paved with flower bricks, opened the hanging flower gate, and entered the second courtyard.

Yu Yang's eyes couldn't take it all in; the seven rooms in the courtyard alone were already more than enough.

Unexpectedly, the second courtyard had even more rooms, with rooms in all four directions.

The pomegranate and jujube trees in the yard were laden with fruit.

Chen Hong released Yu Yang's hand, "This is the house that Mom bought for our family. When you get into a university in Beijing, you can live here."

Do you like it? These fruit trees were planted by Mom in the spring. Let's pick a jujube and see if it's delicious.

Now you can look around freely. Go choose a bedroom; you'll have to sleep alone tonight!

Seeing the fruit trees planted by her mother, Yu Yang's heart was miraculously calmed down.

She reached out and picked a date, took a bite, and spat it out. "Mom, it's not sweet, not sweet at all!"

Chen Hong laughed, "It hasn't grown big enough yet, and it hasn't been glazed, so of course it's not sweet."

These dates will be so sweet when they're ripe. Go play and get to know our new home.

While Yu Yang explored the various rooms in the courtyard, Chen Hong opened the door to the main room and went inside. The room was still quite clean.

It seems my sister often stays in this yard; the place has been cleaned, and there's only a thin layer of dust on the furniture.

Chen Hong pushed open the door to the master bedroom, put her luggage down, found a mop and rag, filled a basin with water, and began cleaning.

She first cleaned the main room, the master bedroom, and the second bedroom, and then cleaned the kitchen. Since she was there, she figured she should cook in the kitchen too.

The courtyard house comes alive with the smell of cooking. The kitchen has simple condiments like oil, salt, soy sauce, and vinegar, and there are also two bundles of noodles in the cupboard.

It seems Xiaoyun cooks for herself when she stays here. She still has a mortgage to pay off, and she usually eats only noodles; she's so frugal.

Like her in her previous life, her younger sister was an ordinary person. The fact that she was able to take the first step and buy two houses with loans under her influence was already a huge burden.
