After listening to their words, Zhang Hongmei assured them that there would be no problem before leaving the space.

Pick up the flashlight from the ground, leave the warehouse, and lock the door.

The large truck was parked right next to the warehouse. I unlocked it, got in, adjusted everything, and then started the engine.

After driving around the farm a few times and feeling that it was about time—I figured I'd be able to spot cars driving by tomorrow—I finally drove out of the farm.

This really can't just be done on the farm; you have to keep driving along this dirt road several times before finally getting onto the highway. You have to drive quite a distance.

Although this doesn't stand up to scrutiny, it's just a superficial cover-up.

After driving around on the dirt road four or five times, we finally got onto the highway. It was already three in the morning, so we decided to drive a bit further since we had plenty of time.

Driving along, I felt a bit creeped out. There wasn't a soul on the road. I checked the map, and the direction I was heading led to the beach. I figured I might as well go to the beach; that way, I wouldn't have to be back too early tomorrow morning.

Two hours later we arrived at the port. There were several cargo ships on the shore.

Zhang Hongmei didn't get out of the car. She just sat inside, turned off the headlights, and looked at the lights on the sea. The lights were reflected on the sea and looked somewhat colorful.

I waited for half an hour before turning back.

When Zhang Hongmei arrived at the farm at 7:30 in the morning, she found that Zeng Zhongkang had already arrived and was leaning against the hood of the car, looking in the direction she had come from.

When Zeng Zhongkang saw the large truck approaching from a distance, he knew that Zhang Hongmei had returned, and his heart finally settled down.

Now, he's not only acting on the orders of the three powerful figures, but also fulfilling his own sordid desires.

Zhang Hongmei nodded to Zeng Zhongkang and drove the car directly to the warehouse entrance, where the car had been parked yesterday.

Zeng Zhongkang also drove over. Zhang Hongmei jumped out of the car, and he got out as well.

"Zhang Hongmei, have you finished your work?"

"Okay, it's all done. You're here so early, have you had breakfast?"

Zeng Zhongkang shook his head, saying that he hadn't slept since leaving yesterday and couldn't do anything.

"I'm hungry too. Let's have breakfast here before we leave."

Zeng Zhongkang nodded and helped Zhang Hongmei open the car door. The two then arrived at the house.

What would you like to eat?

Zeng Zhongkang shook his head, sensing something was wrong, and immediately replied, "I don't know either. What do you want to eat? I can cook too."

"Hehe, I really didn't know that. You don't need to do it, I'll make it. How about we have hand-pulled noodles?"

“Sure, it’s been a long time since I’ve had this. I’ll help you pick some vegetables. I saw some spinach in the garden, and Mrs. William covered it with corn stalks. It looks especially fresh.”

"Okay, let's make oil-splashed noodles. How many poached eggs do you want?"

One is enough.

"Okay, go pick the vegetables, clean them, and bring them to the kitchen."

Zhang Hongmei scooped out a bowl of noodles, added a little salt and two eggs, and slowly added water to knead the dough.

The dough for hand-pulled noodles has to be very stiff, so it's very laborious. Luckily, it's just for two people, otherwise, I wouldn't bother making such a laborious meal.

Once it was ready, I covered it with a basin and set it aside to proof. Zeng Zhongkang still hadn't come in. I decided to go check on the vegetable garden myself.

The two happened to bump into each other. "I've already washed up, you don't need to do this job."

"Okay, you can put it on the board. The dough needs to rest for a while. Go and start the fire."

Zeng Zhongkang felt particularly happy, and was even willing to be ordered around.

Zhang Hongmei also wanted to go back to see Wang Xinyi as soon as possible, so she let the dough rise for ten minutes before starting to roll it out.

People here do have rolling pins, but they're too small, so they just have to make do.

"Zeng Zhongkang, pour water into the pot, then crack in two eggs."

By the time Zhang Hongmei had finished cutting the noodles, the water had already boiled.

Do you prefer your eggs fully cooked or with runny yolks?

"Fully cooked."

After waiting another two or three minutes, Zhang Hongmei finally scooped the eggs out and placed them in two small bowls. There were no bowls available, so she had no choice.

Cook the noodles, then separate them into two bowls. Put the whole spinach stalks into the water and immediately take them out. Add salt and boiling water to the bowls.

"You can turn off the heat now. Can you clean the pot properly?"

"Okay, I'll take care of this."

Zhang Hongmei found a small pot, added olive oil, and a few chili peppers. She heated them until the peppers changed color. She then poured the hot oil into two separate bowls, and the aroma immediately filled the air.

"Take the noodles to the dining room. I'll tidy up the kitchen and come eat right away."

When the two sat down at the table to eat, Zeng Zhongkang ate heartily, showing his appreciation.

Both of them kept their heads down and ate without exchanging a word.

After the meal, Zeng Zhongkang voluntarily washed the dishes and tidied up.

Zhang Hongmei returned to her room from yesterday, tidied it up, and then the two drove off.

Zhang Hongmei sat in the back of the car and soon fell asleep. Zeng Zhongkang had been watching Zhang Hongmei closely, and when he noticed she was asleep, he immediately reduced the car's speed. That would make her more comfortable.

It took them an hour and a half to get home. Zeng Zhongkang drove straight into the yard, where Zhang Hongmei had just woken up. Cheng Guangxu heard the car and immediately ran out. Seeing that Zhang Hongmei was safe and sound, he was relieved.

Zhang Hongmei simply greeted everyone and then went upstairs to rest. Since coming here, her schedule had become very regular. She hadn't slept all night and was feeling a bit unwell today.

Everyone was understanding of her situation, but Zhang Hongmei still went into Wang Xinyi's room first.

Seeing Wang Xinyi's rosy complexion, one knows that she has been taken very well by others.

"Aunt Wang, I'm going to rest now. I'll come back to see you when I've recovered."

"Go ahead, I'll be fine. Don't worry about me."

Zhang Hongmei smiled and left, going upstairs. She wrote a letter to Zhang Shouyi, telling him she had arrived home safely and to put his mind at ease, before finally going to sleep.

I woke up before lunch but didn't go downstairs, and I'm not hungry now.

I spent the whole afternoon reading. The most important thing is done. Now I just need to look at the computer parts and installation.

Furthermore, Zhang Shouyi also wanted to establish a computer-related company here.

This is something you should definitely try. Several people applied for economics programs, so this can be a good opportunity for them to practice.

The more I thought about it, the more feasible it seemed, so I simply took out a pen and paper and wrote down my plan. We can discuss it together later.

This way, you can practice your skills and also start a computer business.

Once you've made a perfect plan, go downstairs to find them. If this also works out, you can truly dedicate yourself to this as a career.

The group was drinking tea and chatting in the living room, but they were talking very quietly so as not to disturb Wang Xinyi's pregnancy.
