"Okay, you can arrange it as you see fit."

Zeng Zhongkang had also come in with them and, upon hearing their decision, said, "I'll drive!"

Zhang Hongmei felt a little embarrassed. It was a crucial time for them, and it wasn't right for her to keep delaying them.

Zeng Zhongkang could tell what Zhang Hongmei was thinking just by looking at her troubled expression. “It’s okay. I’ve already read all the books once, and this is my second time. Besides, I can take a day off. You don’t need to feel embarrassed.”

"Are the three of you coming back at noon?" Wang Xinyi asked, looking at her huge pregnant belly and feeling tired.

"Aunt Wang, we can't be sure either."

"Alright, you guys go ahead. We won't be back early either, around noon."

"Are we going to the hospital again today?"

"Yes, I'm going again today. The doctors now require me to come for a check-up every Saturday. They know my age, so they're all a bit worried."

"Haha, you have such a good attitude. Alright, we're leaving now."

The three of them arrived at the farm in an hour. It was much better than the last time they came. It was all there, and now there was a fence around it, which was quite nice. There were ten houses built inside. Five of them were for the workers, and the remaining five were not here, but they weren't too far away. These were the rooms reserved for Zhang Hongmei and her friends when they came to visit.

Zhang Hongmei went in and took a look. She thought it was alright, and the kitchen was well-designed and spacious.

Finally, we went to the warehouse. "Zhao Haozheng, you must be very experienced in building warehouses, so we don't need to inspect them. I counted, there are a hundred ventilation openings alone, and the empty room next to it should be for storing agricultural machinery, which makes sense."

Zeng Zhongkang nodded, feeling that this design was even more reasonable than the warehouse design he had seen at Zhao Tiancheng's house last time.

"Yes, this was designed and supervised by people sent by Carlos. It should belong to their family. Actually, the real talents are all in various aristocratic families, and they have all recruited them."

"This is also a demonstration of strength."

"All the farm machinery will arrive tomorrow. It was ordered from the Roy family's factory, and they gave us a big discount."

"Hehe, it's good to spend less money."

“Let’s go meet the workers, and then we’ll go to the ranch. I’ve asked around, and this year we’re getting ten cows, ten horses, and twenty sheep.”

Because the main goal this year is to plant good pasture.

Zhang Hongmei watched as Zhao Hao was giving instructions to the workers, and he did it quite well. She felt that she had really fooled a treasure.

The three of them then went to the ranch. They could see it from a distance, but it took them almost half an hour to drive there.

"Zhao Haozheng, keep an eye on this area. If there's land between our farm and ranch that someone wants to sell, we'll buy it."

"You're going to leave eventually anyway, so why bother with all this?"

"Hehe, maybe it'll be left to Annie later."

"Okay, I'll go ask. If it's for sale, we'll buy it."

"By the way, if the ranch can raise cats and rabbits, we should raise a few. Annie said she wanted some last time."

"Okay, I understand. I'll just tell the workers there. That shouldn't be a problem."

This place was also built by people sent by Carlos, and there are no issues with its quality.

The three of them didn't get home until 1 p.m., and Shen Yunfang quickly cooked them some dishes.

Zhao Tiancheng and Wang Xinyi also came over. "Hongmei, a few people from the Chinese Chamber of Commerce sent us invitations. Do you want to go?"

Zhang Hongmei slapped her forehead. "Uncle Zhao, I forgot. I was planning to invite them to dinner during the first month of the lunar calendar. Now I feel a little embarrassed."

"I forgot too. Your Aunt Wang wasn't feeling well during that time, and I didn't have time to take care of her."

"It's alright. The Chamber of Commerce doesn't always hold gatherings during the Lunar New Year. This year, they just had a dance party at Christmas."

"Oh, I think I'll go. What time?"

"It wouldn't be appropriate for you not to go next Friday night; they've already sent you an invitation."

"Okay, let's all four of us go together."

Actually, Zhang Hongmei didn't want to go, but now that she was the eldest daughter of the McCann family, naturally they wanted to get close to her. She couldn't blame them; that's just how people are, and even she couldn't avoid it.

"Hongmei, you've grown taller lately!" Wang Xinyi said, touching her belly and smiling at Zhang Hongmei.

"Hehe, I really didn't notice. This height is just right. Too high and it won't look good."

The two women started chatting. Zhang Hongmei lost her appetite and simply helped Wang Xinyi into the living room to chat.

"Aunt Wang, what did the doctor say?"

"I had an ultrasound today, and they said it's a boy. And he's quite healthy. My due date is in April, so there are about 50 days left. They told me to go to the hospital when I'm 40 days pregnant."

"That's wonderful! Uncle Zhao must be so happy!"

"Yeah, I think his hand was shaking when he was holding me. Actually, I was quite conflicted. I wanted to be a boy, but I also wanted to be a girl."

"Hehe, you're really greedy. If you have a boy, there will be girls in the family in the future, and he'll have to find you a wife, right?"

"Hehe, by the time he finds a wife, I won't be able to walk anymore."

I just want a child as beautiful and sensible as Annie.

"You! If you were really a girl, you would probably be thinking about how nice it would be if you had a boy who could inherit your surname."

"Haha, that's what your Uncle Zhao said too, and he agreed that the child will take the surname Wang. My Wang family will not die out."

After Wang Xinyi finished speaking, tears welled up in her eyes.

"Please don't cry, it will make the baby sad too. If Uncle Zhao sees this, he'll think I'm making you angry."

Speak of the devil, and he appears. "Xinyi, what's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I'm just happy. Really, I'm extremely happy."

"As long as you're happy, that's all that matters. Okay, stop crying. I'll do whatever you want."

Zhang Hongmei felt that Zhao Tiancheng was a really good man, and he was incredibly good to his wife.

"I already told you, these are tears of joy."

"Okay, okay, you're happy, but don't cry. The child can feel it too."

Zhang Hongmei quickly tried to divert Wang Xinyi's attention, "Aunt Wang, you can give the baby a name now. Don't wait until he's born and you haven't thought of a name yet. What will you call him then?"

“Yes, I should name my child.” Wang Xinyi said, then stood up abruptly, startling the two people next to her into a sweat.

"Xinyi, slow down. Come on, let's go back to the room and name the baby." Zhao Hao was helping his wife back to the room.

Zhang Hongmei thought to herself, "This pregnant woman's emotions are fluctuating too much. Even someone as gentle as Wang Xinyi is acting a bit neurotic now."

At this moment, Zhao Haozheng and his companion also came out. "Hongmei, do you know that my mother is carrying a boy?"
