After a rather complicated transfer process, I finally got in touch with my second brother.
Zhuang Zhiwu answered the phone.
"Little sister, is there something urgent at home?"
"No, DouDou and QiQi miss you. Why don't you three chat for a bit?"
Zhuang Zhimeng handed the phone to her two nephews.
"Dad, I miss you so much."
Zhuang Zhimeng patted her two nephews' heads and went inside to tidy up her lover's clothes.
An Qingbai then walked in.
He was just about to tidy up with his wife when An Tanxiao came in.
"Third brother, after thinking about it, I've decided to tell you about the secret room on my side."
You tell your second brother that only he can know.
"Okay, Father, please speak."
Zhuang Zhimeng stood up.
"Father, should I excuse myself for a moment?"
An Tanxiao waved his hand.
"No need to avoid it, Zhimeng, you're not an outsider, it's fine for you to listen too."
Zhuang Zhimeng sat down and continued tidying up her lover's clothes.
An Tanxiao held his son's hand as he recounted the story.
“Go west from the main gate of the winery, about thirty steps away.”
Just walk at your normal pace. Isn't there a stone platform there?
That was actually another exit from my secret room.
There is a small sphere under the stone platform; press it down.
Then rotate the stone platform, first three times to the left, then three times to the right, and it will open.
Opening it reveals a large stone chamber.
The real secret chamber requires a special stone carving from my side.
Your mother and I plan to hand over the contents to the three of them after Qinglin graduates.
Third brother, you don't need to tell your eldest and second brothers that you have something else.
Now, only your second brother will be allowed to use the stone chamber to store the wine.
"Father, I understand. I will explain to my second brother."
Zhuang Zhimeng was very puzzled.
"So you mean the secret room was right outside my door back then?"
Haha, yes.
When I found out you were going to live there, I specifically went to check out the stone platform and put on some disguises.
"I knew that stone platform looked so strange."
Why was it so dirty? I always thought it had been abandoned and left there.
Every time I see it, I want to clean it.
I was worried about some taboo, which is why I haven't touched the stone platform.
"No one has discovered that there is a secret room there all these years."
An Qingbai nodded.
“Father, if you hadn’t told me, no one would have guessed that the stone platform could actually rotate.”
"The key is to catch people off guard, so that we won't be discovered."
"Alright, I'm going back inside. You guys continue with your work."
An Qingbai looked at his wife.
"Wife, should we still tell Second Brother about the secret base?"
Zhuang Zhimeng thought about it.
"It doesn't matter much; it's fine whether you tell them or not."
The secret base is a bit far; it'll be difficult to move the liquor there without being discovered.
"Yes, I've been thinking about how to move all the wine over quickly."
I was even thinking of using some kind of transport tool.
I was just planning to deal with it when I got back, but Dad solved the problem.
"Let Second Brother use Father's stone chamber first."
As for the secret base not working out, we'll tell Second Brother when the stone chambers run out of space.
"Okay, I'll listen to my wife."
DouDou and QiQi ran in together.
"Auntie, we've finished calling Dad."
"Okay, then you guys go find Fatty and the others, they're with Grandma."
“Okay, Auntie, let’s go.”
The whole family ate dinner together that evening, and Junjun and Qinglin cooked all the dishes.
Everyone gave them face and finished all the food.
As it was time for bed, Zhuang Zhimeng told the children...
"My father (uncle) is going back to his hometown tomorrow, and it may take him a few days to come back."
Fatty quickly hugged his mother.
"Mom, will you go back with Dad?"
"Mom isn't going; only Dad is going back."
"Oh, okay, Dad, you go back now, we'll all stay with Mom."
The little ones all came over and hugged their mother (aunt).
"Dad (Uncle), don't worry, Mom (Aunt) has us."
"Haha, Aber, you've been rejected by them."
An Qingbai smiled and snatched his wife back, laying her flat.
"Honey, let's go to sleep and ignore them."
An Qingbai, being tall and strong, put his arm around his wife and blocked the children's hands.
The children were so angry that they started poking at him from behind.
"Dad (Uncle), you're cheating."
An Qingbai just wouldn't let go.
"Alright, all of you lie down. I'll count to three: one, two..."
Zhuang Zhimeng had just counted to two when the children were already lying down.
An Qingbai reminded.
"Everyone, close your eyes right now! If anyone opens their eyes again, I'll tickle them!"
The children immediately closed their eyes.
The couple were finally able to chat for a few minutes.
"Honey, take back the school supplies and toys we gave Yangyang."
"Okay, honey, give it to me. I'll put it away now."
Zhuang Zhimeng sat up and handed the things to her lover.
"Oh, right, honey, remember to make a special trip to the police station and don't let An Fugui go."
"Okay, I'll go to the police station first when I get back."
"Okay, let's go to bed early too, and you can leave early tomorrow."
"We really need to go early, we have to go around to buy the door."
An Qingbai hugged his wife and kissed her a few times.
Goodnight, my wife.
Goodnight, my love.
When Zhuang Zhimeng woke up in the morning, her lover was no longer in the house.
There was a note left by her lover on the pillow.
"Honey, I've made dinner. Get up and eat with the kids. Love you."
