Shen Yu parked the car on the side of the road, got out and took the bag from her hand. Meng Tao smiled happily and said, "Hey, why are you here? It's not time to get off work yet."

Shen Yu first put the cloth bag on the back seat, then opened the passenger door and let her sit in. He said, "I finished my work and left work early. When I got home, I found that my wife ran away again, so I came out to look for her."

"What do you mean by running away again? You don't even allow people to go out for a walk."

"You call this a walk? You took a heavy bag and went to the black market again. Did you find anything good?"

Shen Yu touched her hair, held her face and looked at her carefully, then looked at her collar: "Where did you go to get into the doghouse?"

Meng Tao was speechless: She had carefully brushed off the dust on her body, but was still discovered.

"I went to a warehouse and found some good stuff."

Shen Yu: "The department stores, shops and black markets on the street are not enough for you to see. You should go to the warehouses. Why didn't you tell me earlier? Dad's factory has a lot of warehouses. How about going there?"

"That's different."

“Aren’t they all warehouses?”

"The scrap warehouse I mentioned contains all the antiques left by our ancestors that were all broken. It's a pity, so I collected some of them to see if they can be repaired in the future. There are also many old books and paintings... It's better for them to be in my hands than to be shipped to factories and treated as waste paper or directly used as fuel in the future."

"We want the broken ones too. Aren't we just collecting rags?"

“…That’s also valuable junk!”

"Okay, as long as you're happy."

Shen Yu pulled her hand over. There were three or four shallow wounds on the back of her white and tender hand, which were cut by porcelain fragments.

"Not wearing gloves again?" Shen Yu looked at her.

Meng Tao said coquettishly: "I forgot."

"If you do it again, I'll punish you."

"oh."

Driving home, Shen Yu continued to ask: "There are people guarding the scrap warehouse, right? Can they let you go in and take things at will?"

"The old man who looks after the warehouse is an acquaintance,"

"…What acquaintance? You've only been to the provincial capital once."

"Yes, I met him last year. I first met his grandson Huang Xiaocheng, and then I met the gatekeeper Mr. Huang through Huang Xiaocheng. So I visited that scrap warehouse last year."

Shen Yu frowned: "Huang Xiaocheng? How old is he? Where does he work? How did he know that you are willing to visit the scrap warehouse?"

Seeing him like that, Meng Tao burst out laughing: "What does Huang Xiaocheng know? He was only six years old. I knocked over his soup in a restaurant, and he was crying. Then I sent him back to his grandfather."

Shen Yu couldn't help laughing, and he used his free hand to hug his young wife's head: "You bad aunt."

Meng Tao avoided him: "No, I'm not an auntie. Huang Xiaocheng calls me sister."

"So when he sees me, he has to call me brother?"

Shen Yu was heartbroken: "No matter what, you are already twenty years old and still dare to be someone's sister. I am a few years older, so I can also be a brother."

"You are so shameless."

“I learned this from you.”

"What..."

The two chatted and laughed all the way back to the unit's family compound and parked the car downstairs of a four-story building. Shen Yu's temporary dormitory was on the third floor, a two-bedroom suite with a large living room.

There were other cars parked downstairs. Shen Yu looked at them and said to Meng Tao, "Your brother is here to eat again. Director Shen is here too."

Meng Tao didn't care: "Come if you want to. We don't have to cook anyway. Just go to the canteen to buy steamed buns or rice. We just need to stir-fry a few dishes."

She put the bag of books in the back seat of the car into the space. When the two got out of the car, Shen Yu was holding a bamboo basket in his hand. In it was half a basket of fresh pea pods, a pile of fresh mushrooms, a handful of spring bamboo shoots, ten eggs, and a few garlic, onions and ginger. These were not grown in the space, but Meng Tao saw them when she was shopping in the black market and bought them and stored them.

There was also a three-pound wild boar meat and a four-pound venison meat, which were cooked in the space and served as "braised beef". These were eaten at noon.

Due to seasonal restrictions, other fresh vegetables cannot be taken out directly.

Normally, she and Shen Yu could eat as much juicy cabbage, fresh and crispy cucumbers, and sweet and sticky pumpkins as they wanted... After all, they were the only ones who knew the secret of the space.

Ding Hao came down from upstairs, and Shen Yu asked, "How many people are in the room?"

Ding Hao replied that there were three, Meng Zhehan, Director Shen, and driver Xiao Guo.

He also told them: "Director Shen brought two large cartons of candies and biscuits, weighing at least 20 to 30 kilograms."

Shen Yu: “…”

He and Meng Tao looked at each other and understood what Director Shen meant. This was the wedding candy prepared for them to use when they returned to Linshui Village to register their marriage.

Shen Yu asked Ding Hao to go to the canteen to buy food, and he and Meng Tao went upstairs to cook.

When I walked into the house, I saw the driver Xiao Guo standing by the door. Director Shen and Meng Zhehan were sitting on the sofa looking at photos. They were the photos of Shen Yu and Meng Tao taken in Y Province. They took them to the photo studio to be developed and then brought back. They put them in the cupboard and they were discovered by them.

Meng Zhehan took a photo and put it in his underwear pocket, saying that his sister looked so beautiful in the photo wearing ethnic costume, and he wanted to keep it forever as a souvenir; Director Shen took the whole set directly, with a more powerful reason: "Show it to mom!"

Meng Tao naturally said nothing, and Shen Yu put away the remaining photos. Fortunately he posted two sets, otherwise there would be none left.

Meng Zhehan went into the kitchen to help Meng Tao wash and cut vegetables. Director Shen pointed to two large cartons and told Shen Yu: "Registering for marriage is a big deal. Prepare the cigarettes and candies so that everything goes smoothly. I specially got some high-end candies, including milk candies, crisp candies, nougat and biscuits, as well as a few cartons of cigarettes. Just distribute the wedding candies and cigarettes to everyone... Otherwise, I will accompany you back?"

"No need, Taotao and I can handle it."

Shen Yu said this calmly, but he was already muttering in his heart: I must not bring anyone with me! He finally waited until the time came to register for marriage, his father followed, and then Meng Zhehan also came to join in the fun. Will he and his wife still have their wedding night?

This period was the happiest and most difficult time since he could remember: his beloved girl was right in front of him, pleasing to the eye, intoxicated, no longer missing her, seeing her every day, touching her, hugging and kissing her, and even sleeping on the same bed in the dead of night, but he could only chat with her under the covers. No matter how many ideas he had, no matter how tempting his fairy-like wife was, he could not break through the last hurdle because he lacked the marriage certificate! First, register, his wife promised him, and he worked hard to get it. After registering, they would be real husband and wife, with at least three days of honeymoon leave, and it would only be his and his wife's world for the two of them, and no one could disturb them!
