In the Shen family study, Meng Zhehan was in a good mood and looked at Shen Yu with a smile: "Childish! She's my sister, how can you not be nice to me?"

Shen Yu snorted coldly: "Go to H City to find your sister. There are two of them, both of them are dear."

Meng Zhehan restrained his smile and said, "Can you really not stand seeing me doing well?"

"right."

At this moment, Shen Yu felt that Meng Zhehan's smiling face was very annoying. Seeing that he could no longer smile, he felt relieved and went straight downstairs to eat. Meng Zhehan snorted and followed him downstairs.

Director Shen went to the city for a meeting. He was worried that his son would not have enough to eat, so he arranged for Master Jiang to come and cook. It happened that Meng Zhehan was on vacation, so he came to eat. He unexpectedly received a call from Sister Taohua and was really happy.

The two washed their hands and sat down at the dining table. They each served themselves rice. Chef Jiang was still making a soup. Meng Zhehan said to Shen Yu very seriously:

"You won't believe it even if I tell you, but I still have to say it. Tao... my sister, I felt very close to her when we first met. Later, when I thought about it carefully, I found that she actually looks about 60% similar to my grandmother when she was young."

Shen Yu looked at him with a sly look: "Are you saying that my eyesight is bad? Have I never seen your grandmother?"

"You have never seen my biological grandmother. She passed away a long time ago. The grandmother I have now is not my biological grandmother."

“That’s ridiculous.”

"I'm telling the truth."

"Why didn't you tell me before?"

"This grandmother didn't have any children, but she raised my father, aunt, uncle, and us grandchildren. She was very good..."

"Very good, can I forget my dear grandma?"

"I have never forgotten. No one has forgotten. All our relatives, friends, and people we interact with know my grandmother. Only you don't know. I didn't tell you because I thought it was unnecessary. No matter what happened between you and me, it has nothing to do with my grandmother, right?"

It seemed reasonable, Shen Yu was speechless, but: "Then why bother talking about it now?"

Meng Zhehan said: "Sister Tao looks like my grandmother. There is an enlarged photo in the Meng family's old house. I will show it to you someday."

"What do you want to say? There are so many similar people in this world."

"That's what I'm telling you!"

“…”

Meng Tao returned to Xingyang County. Meng Jinniu was no longer as nervous as in the previous times, but he still asked a few more questions. He was always uneasy about a young girl going to Mengzhou alone and staying overnight, but he had no choice.

However, Zhang Fu believed in Meng Tao 100%. He knew that Meng Tao was very strong and had a domineering aura when she was lying on her head. She was like the old lady with two guns in the movie. Of course, Meng Tao was much more charming than the old lady with two guns. Zhang Fu felt that even if Meng Tao ran to the capital, she would be able to come back safely.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, he quietly asked Meng Tao: "Did you go to Mengzhou to meet the big boss? Did you come here to transport the wine? I can go and load the truck."

Meng Tao said, "We can meet, but it's the end of the year and we have goods to collect and ship out from all over the country. The big boss is very busy and said he would come to pick up the goods in a while. Please trouble your uncle to help look after our small warehouse."

"Don't worry! I promise it will be fine. I'll give my uncle a pack of the Daqianmen you gave me as a filial gift. He'll be very happy. I promise it will be a good thing."

"The wine from our winery is brewed according to an ancient recipe, using very particular grains, and has a very pure aroma!"

Zhang Fu pounded his chest: "As long as he comes back to ask for it, I'll keep it for him! At worst, I can just show some respect to my uncle!"

Meng Tao: “…”

Why does this chest-beating action look so familiar? Who did you learn it from? No, it's too ugly. I can't do this again.

In the next few days, Meng Tao picked a sunny day and took the bus to the orchard of Fenghe Commune. She used four bottles of wine and two kilograms of crispy candies to get through the back door and asked the people guarding the orchard for some tangerines and navel oranges left on the branches. Those were specifically asked by the superiors to be kept for New Year gifts.

In this day and age, it is extremely rare to preserve this kind of seasonal fruit, and there are not many left in the orchard. Meng Tao managed to get 80 kilograms and stored them in the space.

The rest of the time, she didn't go anywhere and stayed quietly in the county hospital to accompany Brother Jinniu.

After Zhang Ma's shift, she would come to the ward and sit for half a day, and let Zhang Fu take Meng Tao to various places in the county to have some fun. Meng Tao would drag Zhang Fu to find a scrap recycling station, and under the pretext of buying old books and newspapers to start a fire, they would rummage around in the old warehouse. Zhang Fu initially disliked the dusty place, and couldn't understand why Meng Tao, a pretty and clean girl, suddenly liked to rummage through garbage.

Until that day, Meng Tao and he worked together to dig out a heavy, clumsy, and legless old wooden cabinet from the pile of old things. When they opened it, they found it was filled with rags and cotton wool. Meng Tao pulled out a pair of purple flower porcelain vases that were more than a foot high. When they turned the porcelain vases over, the floor was full of gold bars, gold bracelets, gold chains, and Yuan Datou silver coins! Zhang Fu was stunned, as if the door to a new world had opened before his eyes.

There was a pair of purple porcelain vases and a pile of gold and silver coins. Meng Tao understood that the vases might be more valuable because the bottom of the vases was printed with "Official Kiln of the Qianlong Period". Although she didn't know how to identify the authenticity, Meng Tao felt that it was the real thing. Zhang Fu chose the gold and silver without hesitation, and Meng Tao took the vases.

What Meng Tao didn't expect was that, since she thought Zhang Fu was a sincere person, who took good care of Jinniu and they got along well, she intended to guide Zhang Fu to work steadily in the winery and contract the winery in the future. She wanted to make him rich from the winery, but unexpectedly, Zhang Fu was stimulated by the treasure he found at the scrap yard, and secretly became a rag king, which made him successful in another way. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Zhang Fu became a wealthy man by collecting scrap.

This is a later story.

At present, Zhang Fu is still a young worker who gets nervous and his hands shake with excitement when he makes a little money, but he is very clear about one thing: he is determined to become Meng Tao's younger brother.

After calling Shen Yu again at the Post Office, Meng Tao went to the small warehouse of the winery, emptied out all the things in the space, and cleared the Yunhai space stone platform again.

Because we were in the county town and had no conditions to pickle vegetables, we packed a batch of fresh cucumbers, tomatoes and peppers together and prepared to ship them away.

Fresh vegetables are of course better than pickled ones, especially in the winter, there are cucumbers and tomatoes, which can not only be used for cooking, but also can be eaten as fruits. Fortunately, in this era, some places in China already have large greenhouses for cultivation, so the appearance of off-season vegetables is not too abrupt.

According to Shen Yu's request, Meng Tao wrote a letter when attaching the list. The letter implied that fresh vegetables are actually more delicious and nutritious than those dried goods. Anyway, it was not easy to say it directly. Whether Shen Yu could understand the meaning depended on whether he was smart enough.

Since there was nothing to do at night, she really packed a separate bag of items for Shen Yu, which was indeed more than Meng Zhehan's: in addition to various mountain products, there were the sweet fruits (oranges, navel oranges) and wild meat that had been promised before, as well as tea and Bamboo Leaf Green Wine, which were packed in a golden gourd.

Shen Yu and Meng Zhehan each gave a golden gourd filled with wine.

Meng Zhehan's package was not sent separately. Shen Yu told her on the phone that for safety reasons, it should not be sent and asked her to put it in the car and he would pass it on.

The next day, it was still evening and drizzling. Yang Licheng, Ke Jianguo and Zheng Hui drove over and unloaded two wooden boxes, which were gifts from Shen Yu and Meng Zhehan for Meng Tao.

Then quickly move the goods, load them onto the truck, and leave quickly.
