After buying the items and getting into the car, Zhang Hongmei joked with Zeng Zhongkang, "That's just how Chinese people are; they always think the most expensive is the best."

"That makes sense; you get what you pay for. Of course, the more expensive one is better."

"Hehe, the most expensive isn't necessarily the best; the best food is the one that suits you best."

"The child is so young, he can't speak, and he can't distinguish between good and bad."

"Yes, children at this age are the easiest to bully."

Zeng Zhongkang was speechless. What kind of talk was this? Bullying such a young child?

Zhang Hongmei burst into laughter when she saw Zeng Zhongkang's expression.

When we got home, I showed the formula to Wang Xinyi. "Aunt Wang, all the descriptions looked pretty much the same, so I chose the most expensive one. Let's see if the baby likes it."

"Okay, I'll give it to him in a bit."

"Okay, I'll sterilize the bottles and nipples by boiling them in water."

Wang Xinyi found it amusing to watch Zhang Hongmei leave excitedly. That child.

Little Wang Zining is very sensible. He didn't refuse the formula, which relieved everyone. As long as he eats, that's fine. We were just worried he'd throw a tantrum and refuse to eat.

"Aunt Wang, babies are very easy to raise. They're not picky eaters at all."

"Yes, she's not a picky child."

Zhao Tiancheng sat to the side, watching his son and chuckling, "Being able to eat is a blessing, my son is truly blessed."

Wang Xinyi smiled as she looked at her son; this child was easy to take care of. She hoped he would be like that when he grew up.

Parents always have these expectations for their children.

Zhang Hongmei watched as the baby finished eating. Wang Xinyi picked him up, let him rest on her shoulder, and gently patted his back until he burped. Only then did she put him down and let him continue lying down.

She reached out and touched his cheek. "It's so soft. I love it."

The men were too embarrassed to come in. It was Zhang Hongmei who spoke to them. They also secretly longed to see the children.

The next morning, Huang Meihua and her daughter arrived.

Annie sat next to the baby and asked, "Mommy, when can Uncle get up and play with me?"

"That can only be done after the baby can walk."

When will you leave?

"They should be leaving in a year?"

"Mom, why is he always sleeping?"

"Because babies grow while they sleep!"

"Oh, then let him sleep. Let's not disturb him. Maybe he'll want to play with me even more then?"

Yes, that's right.

Zhang Hongmei took Annie's hand, and the two left Wang Xinyi's room.

"Annie, I want to go to the farm, do you want to come?"

"Mom, where are you going?"

"Let's go to the farm and see if there's anything good to eat. I can take you to your Grandpa Zhao's farm; the Williams there have a particularly delicious roast goose."

"Okay, shall we set off now?"

"Yes, let's go now." Zhang Hongmei went to the farm mainly to check on the vermicelli. Also, she felt that since it was Sunday, she should take Annie out for some fun.

Cheng Guangxu and his friend were also going, so the group said goodbye to their families and set off.

There isn't much rice noodle or starch left here, but we still can't finish it all.

"Hongmei, all those scraps were sent to the ranch. They said the cows really like them."

"Mrs. William, we're having lunch here today, and we'd like some roast goose."

“No problem. The ranch sent two geese yesterday to Mr. Zhao. You came today. They were even saying they were going to slaughter a pig. Wait a moment, I’ll go inform them.”

Mrs. William left. The group decided to take a walk around the farm.

Zhang Hongmei thought of asking Zhao Haozheng to bring back some brine because she wanted to eat tofu. She wanted to ask Shen Yunfang if she knew how to make it.

Theoretically, I could make it myself, but I'd never actually done it. When I got home, I told Zhang Shouyi to prepare it for me, including these seasonings, especially Sichuan peppercorns.

Mrs. William found them and said, "Hongmei, the ranch is slaughtering pigs. Please help us take them back to Mrs. Zhao."

"Okay, when the pork arrives, I'll make you pork stew with vermicelli."

"Okay, I'm going to the kitchen. Come find me if you need anything."

Anne enjoyed roast goose for lunch, while William and his wife had pork stew with vermicelli. They were both very satisfied.

Before leaving, they loaded the trunk with pork, and Mr. William also roasted a goose, asking them to take it back with them.

Annie didn't rest at noon; she fell asleep in Zhang Hongmei's arms not long after getting on the bus.

"Give her to me, or you won't be able to carry her in a little while." Cai Peilin took Annie and let her lean against him.

It wasn't even five o'clock when I got home. I handed the pork and goose I brought back to Shen Yunfang.

Annie woke up as soon as the car stopped. She didn't refuse Cai Peilin's embrace. She only fully woke up when they got to the sofa in the living room.

"Mommy, I want to go see the baby."

"Let's take a shower and change our clothes first, otherwise it won't be clean and the baby will get sick."

Zhang Hongmei gave Annie a bath. She found clean clothes and dressed her. The two then went hand-in-hand to Wang Xinyi's room.

They arrived just in time; the baby had just finished drinking milk.

"Mommy, the baby's eyes are so beautiful, they look just like... just like?"

"Like grapes, right?"

"Yes. That's exactly it. You're so cute, baby. When are you going to get up and play with me?"

Wang Zining grabbed Annie's finger that was teasing him and wouldn't let go.

"Mommy, look, the baby likes me!"

"Of course, nobody dislikes Anne."

Wang Xinyi and Huang Meihua both laughed heartily.

Carlos picked up the mother and daughter after they had finished dinner.

He didn't eat either. Shen Yunfang cooked a bowl of fried rice with eggs and a seaweed and egg soup.

Carlos was accompanied by Zhao Tiancheng. "Mr. Zhao, congratulations."

"Hehe, thank you, Carlos."

"Mr. Zhao is so lucky to have married such a virtuous and elegant wife as Aunt Wang, and to have a child so late in life at this age."

"Haha, yes. I feel very lucky."

Isn't that just luck? They're both over fifty. It's a miracle they can still have a child.

After seeing the family of three off, everyone sat in the living room chatting.

"Hongmei, I can go to the textile factory tomorrow. Thank you for taking care of me during this time."

"Are you being too polite with us? Besides, the main labor force is Zeng Zhongkang."

"Hehe, thank you all so much. You've been a huge help to me."

"Uncle Zhao, the accountant you hired isn't very good. The accounts are too messy. You should find someone else."

"Isn't his accounting clear?"

"Well, I didn't find any evidence of him embezzling, but the accounts were unclear."

"Okay, I understand. I'll go look for one tomorrow. Accountants are really hard to find."

"Yes, or you can learn it yourself."

"How could I have time? I have to go home and see my son!"
