What came into view was a wardrobe ransacked and items scattered everywhere. If the person who was searching for something was not her husband, he would have believed she had been robbed.

"I want to go stay with my youngest son for a while; I miss him."

Grandpa Xiao: ...See if I believe you or not!

My wife has been having so much fun with her best friend lately that she's neglecting his meals, let alone anyone else.

This sudden comment about missing his son seems really weird.

"It's going to get colder where our youngest son is. Don't you hate the cold? Are you sure you want to go?"

As my wife gets older, she can't stand the cold anymore, and since our youngest son lives far away, they always choose to go there in the summer.

Summer is almost over now, going there now would just be torture.

"I don't care, I'm going." Then he muttered to himself, "I have to go see what my granddaughter-in-law looks like."

Old Master Xiao had excellent hearing and vaguely heard the key information, which immediately sparked an idea in his mind.

His wife hadn't said anything yet, but after she brought it up, he started to get excited. However, considering his wife's health, he advised her, "If we go now, we'll definitely have to stay for a while. If it snows then, it'll be troublesome for us to come back."

Grandma Xiao didn't care at all. "It's alright. If we can't come back, we'll just spend the New Year there. We've never spent the New Year there before, so it'll be a chance to experience different customs."

As they were talking, the old lady had already finished tidying up the clothes and said to Grandpa Xiao, "There are too many to fit together, can you help me fix them?"

After giving her instructions, she didn't wait for Old Master Xiao to speak before taking out her key and opening her hidden treasure chest, which contained her decades-long collection of treasures.

Grandpa Xiao's head throbbed as soon as he saw her taking these things. "What are you doing? You can't just take these things out like that!"

"What are you yelling about! You want to tell me what to do when I pick someone unremarkable to bring to my granddaughter-in-law?!"

Upon hearing that it was a gift for Gu An'an, Old Master Xiao didn't know what to say. "Alright, then hide it well."

After Grandma Xiao finished picking out her things, she noticed another suitcase next to her. "What? Are you going too?"

Grandpa Xiao nodded solemnly, "I'm worried about leaving you alone."

If he hadn't glanced to the left, Old Lady Xiao would have actually believed his nonsense.

However, she didn't intend to expose him. She was curious about her granddaughter-in-law, and the old man was probably curious about her too.

When Xiao's mother received the call from the two elders saying they were coming to stay for a while, she immediately looked up at the sky. Why did the two elders suddenly want to come and visit at this time of year, when it's neither a holiday nor a festival?

However, she got along quite well with Grandma Xiao, and after a moment of surprise, she began to make preparations.

There's no need to rush for food and drinks; if we really don't have any, we can go to my parents' house to get some. However, we need to tidy up the room where my parents live, and wash and air out the bedding and other items.

Thinking about all the work that still needs to be done, I can't keep working this shift.

Having finally made it to Guangzhou, even though the trade fair had already ended, Gu An'an and her team didn't rush back. They worked from dawn till dusk, expanding the market with their products.

This time, their products sold even better.

The trade fair was held in Guangzhou, and the factory and supply and marketing cooperative leaders in Guangzhou were well-informed. They heard that the products the foreign merchants were promoting were very popular. Most people couldn't resist their persuasive sales pitches and placed orders, especially for clothing from garment factories.

Compared to other cities, Guangzhou, a coastal city, is more open. The clothes from the garment factories are nice and not too outrageous. As long as you promote them, you can get 80% of the orders.

In a good mood, Xiao's father felt like he was several years younger.

Three days later.

Xiao's mother took a day off and took a bus to Shuangshan City Railway Station early in the morning.

The eldest son of the Xiao family and his second aunt's family were both busy with work and had no time to send anyone over at this time. However, the two elders insisted, and their children could not persuade them otherwise, so they could only ask a friend on the railway to help look after them.

Even so, Xiao's mother was still worried until the two figures came into view, and only then did she feel completely relieved.

"Dad, Mom, are you tired? Did anything happen on the way?"

Grandma Xiao said with a kind face, "It's nothing, it's nothing. What could possibly happen? We've been through so much during our revolutionary years. Now that life is peaceful, how could something like this happen to us just because we're taking a train?"

Xiao's mother was used to the old lady's way of speaking, so she didn't argue with her. She took the two of their luggage and walked out, saying, "Aheng's father just got back today, let's go home first."

The old lady wasn't worried about her son, but she wanted to see her granddaughter-in-law as soon as possible.

"You're only back today? Didn't the trade fair end a few days ago?"

“Yes, An’an said that since we’re already there, we might as well take some people and run around the market. Aheng’s dad stayed there and came back with them.”

Both elders were diligent and hardworking people. Hearing that Gu An'an still had this kind of heart, they felt both proud and heartbroken. "I heard from your father that the child is amazing. She shone brightly at this trade fair, and quite a few people have their eyes on her. Fortunately, my grandson is clever and made a reservation early on, otherwise, a bunch of competitors would have emerged by now."

On this point, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were in unison: "That's right, fools are lucky. A few years ago, I kept saying that if he didn't find someone soon, he would be a bachelor forever. I never expected that he would hit it off with An'an during a mission."

As they spoke, the group got into the jeep parked outside and headed towards the Red Flag Commune.

At that moment, Gu An'an and her group had just boarded the train heading north.

With Xiao's father around, they didn't have to worry about not being able to buy sleeper tickets, and they filled all three adjacent compartments.

Life in Guangzhou was tiring, and everyone couldn't wait to catch up on sleep as soon as they got on the bus.

Gu An'an, on the other hand, was full of energy and chose the upper bunk. When the others started breathing softly, she disguised the bed and went straight into the space.

She hadn't been in her space for over half a month, and now she had reaped a bountiful harvest. Fortunately, she had sold off all her stock in Guangzhou these past few days, otherwise she really wouldn't have had anywhere to store these things.

Use machines where possible, and for those that can't, Gu An'an has to pick them herself. At this moment, she envies even more the kind of space that can be controlled by thought.

Envy is one thing, but one should be content. If people knew about her online space, who knows how many would want to dissect and study it?

Besides these, the living creatures that were previously thrown into the space and left unattended have now multiplied in batches, especially the rabbits, which are born into a litter and are now a large family.

During the few days on the train, I spent my time eating, sleeping, chatting, and joking around, and I was busy working on my social media. I lived a more comfortable life than anyone else.

Upon arriving in Beijing, they transferred to a train bound for Shuangshan City.

"Sigh, I'm already exhausted even in a sleeper car. If it were a hard seat, I would die on the train."

Wang Xiaojuan muttered that she had only ever heard people say how glamorous it was to travel by train, but now she knew what the word "suffering" really meant.

Just as Gu An'an was about to say something, a frightened voice rang out, "Is there a doctor? Save my grandfather!"
