After playing in the hotel room until he was tired and about to go to sleep, Cheng Tao remembered his grandparents' idea and quickly told his eldest child.
"I don't care, let's see what my parents think." The eldest child rested his head on his arm, looking extremely relaxed.
Erwa is the fastest to fall asleep, and he also sleeps the most soundly, although he's a bit restless in his sleep.
After being mercilessly attacked by his older brother several times, the third child, exasperated, grabbed a pillow and went to sleep on the sofa.
He was thinking that if Cheng Tao wasn't there tomorrow, he would share a bed with his eldest brother, but he would definitely not share a bed with his second brother, because he didn't know how many times his second brother would wake him up in fear that night.
During the day, Li Huai managed to steal a moment of leisure to enjoy himself with his wife, and then went to get a good night's rest and sleep.
Everyone slept soundly through the night on the soft bed, except for Sanwa, who suffered a little at the beginning.
As soon as he woke up in the morning, the usually quiet Sanwa began to complain about his older brother's misdeeds from the previous night.
Erwa scratched his head innocently. "I feel like I didn't do anything."
The older brother glanced at his younger brother speechlessly. "It would be strange if you thought so."
He then looked at his younger brother with some sympathy. "Sanwa, you'll sleep with me from now on."
Sanwa immediately nodded; that was exactly what he wanted to do.
Although the hotel room was large and comfortable, Cheng Tao knew that it was fine for him to stay there for one night, but if he continued, his parents would scold him if they found out.
After all, he came back with the intention of helping his parents take care of his grandparents, so what's the big deal about sleeping outside every day?
The hotel provides breakfast, and even though Zhao Qinglan now has some money, she doesn't waste it, so she eats breakfast at the hotel with the children.
During the meal, the eldest child spoke up.
"Mom, Grandpa and Grandma Cheng Tao want to invite us to their house for a meal. Are you going?"
The couple exchanged a glance.
"I'll listen to you," Li Huai said.
In these unimportant matters, his wife could make the decisions, and he had no objections.
Actually, Zhao Qinglan didn't want to go to a stranger's house, but since they had already made that suggestion, it would seem ungrateful of her to refuse.
Because of Cheng Tao, she also learned about the Cheng family and knew that the Cheng family was not an ordinary family.
Oh well, it's just a meal. I'll just consider it an opportunity to expand my network.
After only a moment's thought, she made her decision.
"Cheng Tao, then we'll take our leave. When you get home, ask your grandparents when they'll be available these next few days. We're ready anytime. Just give us a call when you have a definite answer."
Cheng Tao was quite pleased to see that Zhao Qinglan had agreed.
It was a rare treat for Yan Sen's family to come from his hometown, and he felt he should help them out. Although he always shamelessly freeloaded, he knew exactly what was going on. Now that he could host them for a meal at his home, he felt he had finally given back something.
Grandpa and Grandma don't easily invite people over for meals.
He wasn't completely ignorant about social etiquette; he just hoped that his grandparents would appreciate his uncles and aunts when they visited their home.
As for what benefits it might bring, he wasn't sure; he just felt it was better this way.
Before Cheng Tao went home, his group visited some famous tourist attractions in Haishi City.
This time, Zhao Qinglan was smarter; they took two taxis.
She brought her daughter and youngest son, while her husband brought their two older children and Cheng Tao.
After spending half a day sightseeing and having a meal nearby, they returned to their hotel to rest.
After his afternoon nap, Cheng Tao said goodbye and went home. He originally wanted to take the bus home by himself, but Zhao Qinglan was worried and insisted on taking him to his doorstep.
Having no other option, Cheng Tao had to call his cousin, Cheng Ce, and ask him to come pick him up.
When Zhao Qinglan saw Cheng Ce again, she still smiled politely, but Cheng Ce's friendliness seemed more genuine.
After the two brothers drove away, Zhao Qinglan took her children and husband to shop at the Haishi Department Store.
If we were to visit Grandpa Cheng Tao's house, his family would need to buy some more decent clothes.
In fact, since her family's financial situation improved, the clothes she buys for her family members have become more and more upscale, especially since she goes to Shenzhen once or twice a year and brings back some clothes with her.
But this time she thought it was a trip, so the family dressed more casually. If they were visiting someone's home, she would prefer to dress more formally.
Once she decides to do something, she tries her best to do it to the best of her ability.
This was the first time the whole family had visited the department store in Shanghai, and they looked around with great curiosity once inside.
There were quite a few people in the department store, so Zhao Qinglan could only tell the children to stay close and not run around.
Few women dislike shopping, and Zhao Qinglan quickly became engrossed in selecting items.
She not only compared people she thought were suitable, but also called people over to try out those who seemed suitable for her husband and daughter.
Perhaps due to the impact of numerous individual vendors, the sales service in the department store was actually quite good.
Li Huai has no requirements about what he wears. As long as he has something to wear, that's fine with him, since he usually wears the clothes issued by the army.
However, he never refused when his wife asked him to come over and try various things, just like a puppet on a string, going wherever she pointed.
Li Huaisheng was tall and handsome, with a straight and well-proportioned figure. Any clothes he wore looked better on him.
"Comrade, your husband is so handsome, he looks good in anything." The saleswoman couldn't help but exclaim, wondering why she wasn't so lucky to find such a handsome husband.
Complimented, Zhao Qinglan's lips curved into a smile. "Then I'll take all of these that I've tried on."
Her generous and forthright manner made the sales clerk even more envious.
The sales clerk didn't know that Zhao Qinglan made money through her own business. She thought it was because Zhao Qinglan had married well, and she regretted not marrying someone as wealthy and beautiful as her.
After strolling around for a while, Zhao Qinglan couldn't help but tease her husband.
"Did you see? Just now, a few young women were looking at you differently."
Li Huai coughed lightly, clenching his fist. "My body and soul belong only to you."
He knew very well that he absolutely could not say the wrong thing at this moment, otherwise the consequences would be severe.
Oh my god, I got goosebumps.
The second child, who had accidentally overheard his own father's mushy affectionate words, quickly ran to his older brother.
Zhao Qinglan smiled with satisfaction. "That's more like it."
The couple were both good-looking, and their children were also quite good-looking.
Walking through the department store, no matter which counter you go to, you always attract envious glances.
Some people praised Zhao Qinglan for her youthful beauty and asked her how she maintained her youthful appearance.
Zhao Qinglan spent two hours browsing in the department store. Her whole family not only bought the clothes they were going to wear to visit guests, but also bought a lot of other things.
Anyway, Li Huai, Da Wa, and Er Wa all had their hands full.
Zhao Qinglan once again felt the benefits of having many men in her family. When her youngest son gets a little older, there will be another strong laborer in the family to help her carry things.
The third child, who was being watched by his own mother, suddenly felt that his mother's gaze was a little strange. He quickly reflected on whether he had done something to upset his mother.
