However, Lin Wei still wanted to ask about the arrangements after returning home.
"What should we do when we get back? Should we hire a nanny? We didn't hire one in advance, so it'll be too late to make arrangements now."
“You don’t need to worry about it. I’ve already made all the arrangements. Aunt Mei, who has been taking care of us these past few days, is originally from the inland. Although she doesn’t live in Jiangcheng, she’s getting old and really wants to go back. So I thought I’d bring her back with me this time.”
"Don't worry, I know her background. She had been taking care of me for several years before I went to Jiangcheng. She's trustworthy."
She trusted the people Shen Jize arranged, of course. "I have no reason not to trust them. But since Aunt Mei is from the inland, and she has already gone back, why doesn't she go back to her hometown? Her parents are gone, but her relatives are still there."
"I do have relatives, but most of them have ulterior motives. Aunt Mei doesn't want to get involved with them, and she feels more at ease when she's with us."
Lin Wei understood after hearing this. "Okay, Aunt Mei is quite easy to get along with. We've gotten used to it over time, so it'll save us the trouble of adjusting if she comes with us."
"After we get back, I'll send Xiao Lin and Xiao Zhang to keep an eye on Xi Xi, so you don't need to worry about her safety."
She wasn't worried at all; she just thought it was a bit of an exaggeration. "That's Jiangcheng over there; there's no need for someone to guard it alone."
"No, better safe than sorry. It's always better to be cautious than anything else."
Lin Wei stopped arguing, and when the end of August arrived, the group packed their things and returned to Jiangcheng.
The port city is nice, bustling and prosperous, but it's still not as comfortable as my own doghouse.
"Mmm, that feels good."
"You feel like Hong Kong doesn't belong to you, it's like your own home. Are you not comfortable living there?" Shen Jize asked, puzzled.
"It's all comfortable, but the extravagance over there makes it less peaceful. Although nothing bad has happened, I feel more at ease just staying here."
To put it bluntly, it's just too chaotic over there.
Shen Jize agrees with this point.
But he wouldn't say it, after all, he was one of the people involved in the chaos.
"Alright, if you're tired, go back and rest. We'll take Yuanyuan back later, and we won't have to go to school tomorrow."
It's said that school will start in September, but it's not exactly on time. September 1st is the exact date.
But this month is stuck like this, and on Monday, September 1st, Lin Yuan has to go home.
"My aunt signed me up for the class. If I don't go back today, I'll definitely be late tomorrow." Lin Yuan was getting restless as he said this.
"Then rest for a while, and leave the child at home. We'll take you back after you've had a seat, and we can have a meal together around lunchtime."

At 5 o'clock sharp, while Shen Xi was asleep, the group drove away.
But when Lin Xiaomeng saw Lin Yuan again a month and a half later, she was shocked on the spot—
"Yuanyuan, how much taller have you grown?"
When they were in the port city, they always saw their children wearing short sleeves and shorts, which they felt were too short. However, due to their habits, they bought clothes in sizes that were too large. Now, their clothes only fit their entire bodies, and they don't have any problems with clothes being too small to wear.
But in Lin Xiaomeng's eyes, Lin Yuan had grown much taller.
"At least 10cm, let Aunt Zhang take a look if you don't believe me."
A short while later, Aunt Zhang, who had finished tidying up, came out of the shop.
She first saw Lin Wei, and seeing that the other had recovered very well, she was also very happy.
But when she saw Lin Yuan, she was equally shocked. "Yuan Yuan, it really is you! You've grown so much taller over the summer. I didn't even recognize you just now."
"It's Yuanyuan, isn't it? I didn't even dare to recognize her at first."
But with the person right under her nose, Lin Wei really didn't feel anything.
But it didn't matter; Lin Wei sensed it as soon as the Su brothers arrived.
The three were of similar age, and used to differ only in weight; they were all the same height.
But when the summer vacation ended, Lin Yuan was still thin and wiry, but he had not only gotten darker and stronger, but he had also grown a head taller than them.
Su Sijin immediately objected, "Hey, Lin Yuan, did you grow taller behind our backs?"
"I don't have any height increase, how can I increase my height?"
Su Si'an didn't believe it and looked Lin Yuan up and down. "No, you're not Lin Yuan. You're not the Lin Yuan who played with us. We promised to be brothers for life. How come you're suddenly so much taller than us? How can I be your older brother?"
Su Sijin kicked Su Si'an in the calf, "Who is the older brother? This older brother has never been you."
The envious looks from the two men, along with their praise, satisfied little Lin Yuan's immense vanity.
On the way to the restaurant, Lin Yuan tugged at Lin Wei's sleeve and whispered, "Sis, I want to go again during summer vacation. I'm going to secretly work out and amaze everyone."
Lin Wei joked, "Actually, I thought you were going to say you wanted to go during both summer and winter vacations. Wouldn't it be better to have two amazing experiences a year?"
"Sis, have some decency. My training methods are completely different from yours. It almost exhausted me. Twice a year, I... I..." Lin Yuan chuckled foolishly. "It's not impossible."
"We're here, we're here. What are you two whispering about? Hurry up and eat. You've been traveling a long way. Eat so you can go back and rest sooner."
After Lin Xiaomeng called them into the restaurant, they went their separate ways after finishing their meal.

Having already given birth, Lin Wei had recovered remarkably well. After hesitating for a while, she said, "How about I go back to work tomorrow? I'm bored staying at home all the time."
"Your body hasn't fully recovered yet. You have an incision, after all. Can you really go back to work without resting for a year or two?"
"It's fine. I feel good, and I don't need to breastfeed the baby. Besides, I'm the boss, so I don't have to get up early to clock in. I can go later and leave earlier to finish my work. The company's current plans were all made before, and I haven't been involved in anything that's going to happen later."
Lin Wei's absence does not mean Shen Jize did not make arrangements.
“I’ve arranged some relatively stable projects for you. Even if you don’t participate in them, you can work steadily for 3-5 years without any problems. I’ve also already trained the people in the company for you.”
That evening, Lin Wei still didn't understand the meaning of those words.
After Lin Wei went to the company in the morning and held a meeting with the leadership, she understood.
“Yesterday, Ji Ze told me that the people in the company were all very nice and that I didn’t need to worry. I didn’t believe him, but now I do.” Lin Yuan looked at Wang Ying with amusement. “How did you change? Your loud and boisterous personality just disappeared like that. Although I was away from the company for a while, it wasn’t for very long, only about a year at most.”
Wang Ying said solemnly, "Nonsense, it's been a year and a half since you got pregnant. You've rarely come to the company. In a year and a half, you could train an animal and still work in an orderly manner. If I hadn't been hoping for your return, I'm afraid I wouldn't have made it this far."
