After helping Huang Dongshi lie down, Huang Wanzhen and Xiuqing came out one after another, "I'm going back to Linglong Pavilion to do some work first."

Xiuqing held the basin and lowered her head slightly. Huang Wanzhen said "hmm" and patted her shoulder. "Look forward. The world is big. I will take you out to see it."

Huang Wanzhen was preparing to have a good New Year. Oh, and Zhenzhen too. She was still young when she left Peking and her memory was not very clear. Huang Wanzhen asked Haimi and Haili to take her to visit the Forbidden City, the Summer Palace and other places. Of course, all travel expenses were paid by Huang Wanzhen.

Zhenzhen is a little girl who is very sensible. Every time she goes out to play, she will bring the small basket prepared by Zhao Dahua for her, which is filled with some food. Even if she doesn’t come back at noon, she doesn’t have to spend money to buy food outside.

After seeing this, Huang Wanzhen advised her to try the snacks in Beiping, which were different from those in Shanghai.

Zhenzhen said that she brought food not to save money, but mainly because she was afraid that her grandmother would get upset and delay her return to Shanghai to make money.

Zhenzhen said that she was raised by Huang Dongshi, but Huang Dongshi did not have much patience in taking care of children. Her own two children were taken care of by a wet nurse. For Zhenzhen, Huang Dongshi only played the role of a caregiver. Most of the time, whoever had time in the family would take care of her. This made her independent at a young age, and she was also filled with the awareness that she should not cause trouble to those around her.

Zhenzhen had just been out playing for a few days when Mrs. Huang called a halt. Huang Wanzhen thought she was going to repeat her old ways and not allow girls to go out and play. Just as she was about to get angry, Mrs. Huang said, "I've recovered from my illness. I haven't been in Beijing for a few years, and my relatives have become estranged. I'm taking Zhenzhen to visit some of our relatives."

When Huang Wanzhen heard this, her anger instantly subsided, and she even asked Huang Dongshi if she needed her to accompany her.

Huang Dongshi waved her hands and said nonchalantly, "They are all my relatives. I have money, and I will leave on my own. It doesn't matter if you young people want to leave or not. I don't care. So you don't have to nag me for being old-fashioned."

Huang Wanzhen immediately protested, "I never said that to you, you said it yourself."

Mrs. Huang deliberately leaned sideways and looked at Huang Wanzhen. "You came out of my belly, how could I not know what you think?! Come on, rent me a car. I don't want a rickshaw, I want a car. I've finally come back, I can't let people look down on me."

Huang Wanzhen always agreed to this small request and even asked Huang Dongshi, "Mom, how many days will you need the car?"

Mrs. Huang said without hesitation, "Two days! I'll just go to your fourth aunt's house and your eldest uncle's house. As for Xiu'er, give her a call later and tell her I'm back. I'm the elder, it doesn't make sense for me to visit a younger one. She should come to see me."

"Well, I'll call my cousin in a bit and rent a car for you." Huang Wanzhen hesitated for a few seconds and then spoke again, "Are you still going to my eldest uncle's house? He has a grudge against my second uncle. If my second uncle knew about it, wouldn't he be unhappy?"

Mrs. Huang placed the half-eaten pancake on the plate in front of her and shouted out the door, "Dahua, your taste is getting stronger and stronger. Next time, use less sauce on your pancakes!"

The next second, Zhao Dahua's voice came over, "Hey! Okay!" A moment later, Zhao Dahua's figure appeared at the door, "Madam, can I make a new one for you?"

Huang Dong took a sip of porridge and shook her head at Zhao Dahua, "No, I'm full."

After Zhao Dahua left, Mrs. Huang Dong ate her porridge and said to Huang Wanzhen, "You are stupid! If your second uncle was in Beijing, I would never go to your eldest uncle's house. Isn't he away? How would he know I went to your eldest uncle's house? I warn you, don't tell your second uncle nonsense."

Huang Wanzhen sighed helplessly, "We haven't been in touch for so many years, what are you looking for? If you want me, I won't go."

"What do you know? That's my maternal family. How could a woman lose her maternal family in this life? Even if I die and want to be buried, I have to notify my maternal family to come over first to discuss my funeral arrangements."

Huang Wanzhen rolled her eyes and said in a bad tone, "Okay, you can interact with him as you like, but it has nothing to do with me. I don't hang out with his family."

Mrs. Huang nodded nonchalantly. "That's why I'm not taking you with me. You're busy enough, and I won't cause you any more trouble. Just focus on your own things and don't worry about me."

Huang Wanzhen was afraid that she would regret it, so she stuffed the pancake in her hand into her mouth, got up and went to the shop to make a phone call.

The next day, Huang Wanzhen saw off Huang Dongshi and Zhenzhen at the gate of Jixiang Hall. True to her word, she didn't even prepare a gift for Huang Dongshi. Huang Dongshi didn't care and asked the driver to drive to Dong'an Market, bought two dried and two fresh dishes, and then went to Dong Yuge's house.

Dong Yuge invited Huang Dongshi and Zhenzhen in very warmly, and asked the servants to serve tea.

"When did Fifth Sister return to Peking? I heard you went to Shanghai?"

Mrs. Huang nodded modestly. "Yes, it's my job. I'm a manager at a large company in Shanghai, making a few dozen yuan a month. It would be a shame not to take such a good job."

Dong Yuge smiled and said, "You've made it big. It's your father and mother who delayed you. If you could learn to read, you would have a brighter future." Dong Yuge's words sounded a bit fake. He was more than ten years older than Huang Dongshi, and he was the eldest son and grandson of the Dong family. The weight of his words in front of his parents was unmatched. If he really wanted his sisters to learn to read, he would definitely be able to do it.

"Not only can I read now, I can also learn foreign languages ​​and French. Many of our customers are foreigners. If you don't know foreign languages, you can't enter our Jixiangtang." Mrs. Huang looked so proud that Dong Yuge was surprised.

"Oh? Fifth sister is so capable? Why does the name Jixiangtang sound so familiar?" Dong Yuge turned the ring on her thumb and fell into deep thought.

Huang Dongshi said loudly, "There's a Jixiangtang on Dengshikou Street in Dongcheng District. I used to work there, but because I was so outstanding, I was sent to Shanghai!"

Dong Yuge was so shocked that her eyes almost fell to the ground. "You are in Jixiangtang? The Jixiangtang that provides porridge to refugees and gives free food to employees? How could they possibly want such an old woman like you?!"

Huang Dong stood up from the armchair and walked around in front of Dong Yuge. "How could it be true? Look at my wool coat and gold velvet dress. They are the latest styles from Jixiangtang."

"This... this..." Dong Yuge muttered for a long time before finally finding her voice. "I heard that Mr. Huang from Jixiangtang is a regular guest at Director Fan's salon. He's a figure who has a say in both Director Fan and Mayor Liu!"

Huang Dong blinked and looked at Dong Yuge, "How did you know?"
