In September, Kang Kang started school. Su Qingmeng said while eating breakfast, "You send Kang Kang to kindergarten first, and when you come back, we will go for a stroll in the suburban countryside." A buying spree began in Beijing at the beginning of the year, and it intensified this month after she came back. Recently, Su Qingmeng could never find any vegetables to buy at the farmers' market.

After sending Kang Kang and his wife to the countryside to buy groceries by bike, Su Qingmeng said, "Prices have been rising since the beginning of this year. Let's buy more and put them there."

Lin Xiuyao: "Okay, but let's see how much we can buy. We are not short of money. Now the tickets have been cancelled, and we can buy anything with money." If it weren't for the rush to buy, there would be queues everywhere. The two of them don't like to waste time, so there is actually no need to make this trip.

Autumn is the season when vegetables mature, and every household in the countryside has stocks. Lin Xiuyao bought them at a price higher than the market price, and they were happy to sell them to the two of them. They also wanted the old hens raised in the village and bought a pig. The two of them ran to three villages and bought two months' worth of stocks before returning home.

When Kang Kang gets his winter break, they'll be moving to Shanghai. Su Qingmeng won't be staying home during the day; she'll be exploring the streets and alleys to experience Beijing's urban life and gather material for her new book set in the city. On weekends, she'll take Kang Kang to teahouses to listen to crosstalk, to parks to watch birds, and to overpasses to watch acrobatics. He's about to go to Shanghai, and Su Qingmeng wants him to experience more of the city's customs and culture.

In October, Qiu Ling came to deliver the invitation, "Qingmeng, I'm getting married on the 20th of this month, and your whole family should come to attend."

Su Qingmeng: "Has the date been set? I will definitely go." Today is the 17th, it will be soon.

Qiu Ling: "We'll hold one in my hometown and one in Beijing. We'll invite friends and colleagues in Beijing. Alas, I find wedding preparations quite tiring. There are so many tedious things to do."

Su Qingmeng: "This is the only chance in my life, so of course I have to prepare well. If you need any help, please tell me. You're welcome."

Qiu Ling shook her head and said, "We are almost ready, luckily we have Wu Yuan." At this time, she was also glad that she had chosen the right person. If there was anything, they could discuss it calmly and rarely argued.

She sat for a while and then said goodbye, "I'm leaving, and I have to inform others."

Su Qingmeng walked her to the door and watched Qiu Ling leave on her bicycle. The mother-in-law next door asked, "Writer Su, is this your friend? Is she dating?"

"They're getting married in two days." Su Qingmeng found it funny. There was an older unmarried young man next door who fell in love with Qiu Ling.

The mother-in-law sighed, "All the good girls are taken by other families." Why is there no suitable unmarried girl to marry her grandson?

On the 20th, Su Qingmeng and her family went to Xinglong Hotel. Qiu Ling booked a private restaurant. Today was her only wedding banquet. The restaurant was decorated very festively, with wedding characters pasted on the windows and balloons decorating the house.

Tang Qiuyu had already arrived, and Su Qingmeng sat next to her. "You're here quite early."

Kang Kang called out, "Brother Xiaoyuan!" The two children came together to talk.

Tang Qiuyu said, "I just arrived. I heard that you went traveling during the summer vacation?" She has been very busy recently and hasn't met with friends for a long time.

"Yes, I went to the Jiangnan water town," Su Qing dreamed, but before informing his friends, "I'm moving to Shanghai."

Tang Qiuyu was surprised: "Ah? Why?"

"Business is good in the coastal open areas now. I can write anywhere and just follow my husband." Su Qingmeng shrugged.

He Rui came over and listened to the end, "Are you moving?"

Su Qingmeng: "Yeah."

He Rui: "It's too sudden, Qingmeng, I can't bear to leave you."

Su Qingmeng: "I can't bear to leave you either. Remember to miss me. If nothing unexpected happens, I will be back in a few years."

They didn't continue the conversation, as they were still at Qiu Ling's wedding. The newlyweds quickly came over to the table to toast. Wu Yuan held up his glass and said, "I'm sorry for the poor hospitality. Enjoy your meal."

He Rui: "Comrade Wu Yuan, you must be nice to Qiu Ling, otherwise we as friends will not let you go."

Wu Yuan looked at Qiu Ling sweetly, "Of course, Lingling is the one I'm going to spend my life with, so I will definitely treat her well."

Su Qingmeng looked at the two of them looking at each other sweetly and smiled. Qiu Ling found a good partner.

Lin Xiuyao has been busy adjusting the company in Beijing recently. The company framework has been set up. Over the past year, Lin Xiuyao has deliberately reduced his involvement. Everyone has done their job and no problems have arisen. He is going to the south, and Beijing needs a manager who can take charge of things independently. In the end, it was decided that Zhou Hai would stay and Xiao Bao would go to Shanghai with him.

Lin Xiuyao gave Zhou Hai 2% of the entire branch's profits as commission. The company's accountant was honest, meticulous, and never showed any mercy, which was just enough to keep Zhou Hai in check, so he could rest assured.

Now private companies can also apply for insurance, and he provides insurance for every employee who has worked at the company for more than three years. If they continue to work there, they can also receive a pension in the future, so the company has a good employee stickiness and low staff turnover.

The two of them have lived in Beijing for ten years and have a lot of connections in the business. If there are any problems with the clothing store, Lin Xiuyao can get the news in time, so he is not too worried.

After finishing his work at the company, he went south to Guangzhou to order winter clothes. Now most of the company's clothes are styles from clothing factories, and the manufacturers put their own brands on them and pass them off as "Mengzhilin". Su Qingmeng would draw four or five designs every quarter, and the clothes she designed were very popular, but when he came next time, his wife's designs would be all over the streets.

The current state of the clothing industry is such that piracy and counterfeiting are commonplace, so Lin Xiuyao didn't let his wife worry too much about the company. He handed the design drawings to the manufacturer and instructed them to keep it confidential during production. Although the confidentiality was only for a month, this month was also an opportunity for their company.

The manufacturers are used to it, "Don't worry, Mr. Lin, we will be careful before your goods leave the factory." They also inquired about the clothing designer who provided the design, hoping to poach her, but they didn't expect it to be Mr. Lin's wife.

Lin Xiuyao set out to return to Beijing. When passing through Shanghai, he put the finished furniture into his new house. It was already December when he arrived in Beijing.

They have also bought several properties in Beijing in recent years, but most of them are bungalows. Now that housing is tight in Beijing, they cannot keep the houses empty, so they rented them out. They greeted the tenants and signed a five-year contract.

After all matters were settled, Kang Kang also started his winter vacation. Su Qingmeng informed her son in advance that Kang Kang would say goodbye to his friends on the last day, as they were about to move away from the capital. Although he was reluctant, his father had talked to him seriously, and the little guy also understood that his parents had to make money to support him.

Hei Dou is kept in the courtyard and can also guard the house. It is not convenient to keep a dog in a house in Shanghai, so I will do it when I have the conditions.

Moving was very troublesome at that time, so Lin Xiuyao contacted Lu Jun's comrade's transportation company. His company had opened a transportation route from Beijing to Shanghai. He chartered two large trucks to deliver Su Qingmeng's books and home appliances.

Su Qingmeng and Lin Xiuyao had a final farewell meal with their friends and boarded a train heading south.
