After finishing breakfast, Meng Zhiyu stared at Wang Hu in disbelief. She couldn't believe that so many buns were enough for one person. Then she walked over to Wang Hu.
"Brother-in-law, how can you eat so much? Look at those huge buns! My sister and I can fill our stomachs with just one each. Are you some kind of super glutton?" Before she finished speaking, she playfully reached out her little hand and gently touched Wang Hu's round belly.
Upon hearing this, Wang Hu's face instantly darkened, and he stared at her speechlessly. Just then, the older sister reacted swiftly, raising her hand and slapping her younger sister's head without hesitation, scolding, "How can you talk to your brother-in-law like that? I kindly gave you pocket money yesterday so you could buy what you like, and even these delicious steamed buns couldn't shut you up!"
Immediately after being hit, Meng Zhiyu realized she had said the wrong thing. She hurriedly apologized to Wang Hu: "Brother-in-law, I'm so sorry! I absolutely didn't mean to laugh at you! I just meant to say that you can eat so much, it's amazing!" After saying that, she gave a fawning smile and cautiously glanced at Wang Hu's reaction.
After all, she was still a child, and children speak without thinking, so Wang Hu naturally wouldn't hold it against her. The three of them quickly finished their meal and went downstairs together to check out. Just as they reached the front door, a gust of cold wind blew past, and Meng Zhiyun couldn't help but shiver violently.
Seeing this, Wang Hu said with concern, "Why don't you call your parents first to let them know what's going on, and then go to a nearby store to pick out a couple of warmer clothes to wear? Otherwise, you'll definitely catch a cold when you get home."
After the call connected, Meng's mother told her not to worry, as there was still an IV drip to be administered that morning, and that they should go for a walk first.
Following the navigation, I arrived in Ningling County, where a massive shopping mall, "West Lake Shopping Mall," stands in the heart of the city. It is renowned for its diverse product range and luxurious shopping experience. This mall is more than just a shopping destination; it is a symbol of urban prosperity, blending the vibrancy of modern commerce with the rich local culture, becoming a shining landmark of Ningling County.

Wang Hu held Meng Zhiyun's hand, with the lively Meng Zhiyu following behind. The three of them stepped into the bustling shopping mall. A warm breeze blew inside, a stark contrast to the cold outside. Meng Zhiyun, wearing only a thin coat, couldn't help but shiver.
"Xiao Meng, look, we need to buy some warm clothes first," Wang Hu said with concern, his eyes revealing his care for his girlfriend.
Meng Zhiyun nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, winters in Ningbo aren't this cold. We weren't prepared."
They headed straight to the down jacket section. Wang Hu carefully selected a stylish down jacket for Meng Zhiyun, while Meng Zhiyun chose a pink one for her younger sister, Meng Zhiyu, which was both warm and suited the tastes of a young girl.
"Try this one, little sister, see if it fits," Meng Zhiyun said gently.
Meng Zhiyu took the clothes and excitedly ran into the fitting room. A moment later, she came out wearing her new down jacket, a satisfied smile on her face: "Sister, it's so pretty! I love it, thank you!"
Looking at them, Wang Hu felt a surge of warmth in his heart, and he decided to prepare some gifts for his future parents-in-law as well. They went to the gold jewelry section, where Wang Hu carefully selected an exquisite necklace.
"Xiao Meng, what do you think of this necklace? Would Mom like it if we gave it to her?" Wang Hu asked.
Meng Zhiyun's eyes lit up: "Mom will definitely like it, thank you, Wang Hu."
Next, they went to the tobacco and alcohol section, where Wang Hu selected some expensive cigarettes and alcohol to give to his father-in-law as a gift.
"Wang Hu, you really don't need to buy so much stuff," Meng Zhiyun said somewhat embarrassedly.
Wang Hu replied firmly, "Xiao Meng, this is my heartfelt gift. I reckon a bunch of friends will be visiting Dad today. What will you say when they ask, 'What did you bring for your son-in-law?'"
After selecting cigarettes and alcohol, Wang Hu's attention was drawn to the mobile phone counter. He pulled Meng Zhiyun and Meng Zhiyu over, pointed to a brand-new model, and said, "Hey girls, how about this phone? I'll buy you a new one."
Meng Zhiyu's eyes lit up immediately, but then dimmed again: "Brother-in-law, this is too expensive, I don't want it."
Wang Hu smiled and shook his head: "Girl, girls should be raised in comfort. This phone has many functions and will help you with your studies."
Meng Zhiyun frowned, took Wang Hu's hand, and said softly, "My little sister is still a student. She should focus on her studies. Using her phone too much will affect her learning."
Wang Hu patted Meng Zhiyun on the shoulder and said, "Xiao Meng, all students these days have cell phones, and our girl needs one too. That way, she can communicate with her classmates more easily, check her study materials in a timely manner, and call us promptly if anything happens at home."
Meng Zhiyun was still somewhat worried, but seeing Wang Hu's insistence, she couldn't object anymore.
In the end, Meng Zhiyu accepted the phone Wang Hu gave her, and she was very happy. She decided that she would use it wisely and not let down her sister and brother-in-law's kindness.
Moreover, she increasingly approved of Wang Hu, thinking that this brother-in-law was truly a good man.
Laughter and conversation mingled together, creating a warm and cozy scene. Wang Hu's generosity and thoughtfulness made Meng Zhiyun feel incredibly happy and at ease. She knew that this man genuinely cared for her and her family.
