Meng Tao returned home late at night, which scared Director Shen. He had received a call during the day and thought that his daughter-in-law would stay in Mengzhou for one night and return to the provincial capital tomorrow. Who knew she was so bold as to drive alone at night.
Imagine if a car breaks down on the road or even in the wilderness, and a young woman is left alone guarding the car, with no village or shop to turn to, and no one can help her. What should she do? What if she encounters wild animals or bad guys...
The more Director Shen thought about it, the more frightened he became. Cold sweat broke out on him. He frowned and scolded Meng Tao. He felt a severe headache: How come this daughter-in-law gives him less worries than his son?
Meng Tao listened to the lecture attentively. Seeing that Director Shen was thirsty from talking, she poured him a cup of warm water. Then she carried the "local specialties" out of the car one by one. Director Shen had no choice but to help carry them into the house.
Meng Tao flattered him, "Dad, try this bayberry. It's fresh, sweet and can relieve internal heat. It grows on trees that have been growing for hundreds of years. It's a rare species deep in the mountains that most people can't eat! I was lucky to find it, so I made two jars of bayberry wine for you... and this tiger meat. Eating it can prolong your life. You can live to be 120 years old!"
Director Shen had a stern face, and he laughed when he heard this: "Come on, you two can't live a stable life after getting married. One of you is away from home, and one of you tells me you don't want children, and the other one scares me out of the blue - I'm still 120 years old? It's good enough to live to 60, I'm content!"
Meng Tao: “…”
Having a nosy father-in-law is also a worrying thing.
After complaining, Director Shen looked at the "local specialties" spread out on the ground, and his mood inexplicably improved: his daughter-in-law went back to her hometown and brought back so many things for him, and she also remembered that he loved drinking, so she made bayberry wine for him herself. Well, he was very happy that his child was filial.
Although she pretended not to care on the surface, she still had to criticize him. She had to make her daughter-in-law realize her mistake: safety issues must not be taken lightly, and she should not be allowed to walk alone at night anymore.
Girls should stay quiet and well-behaved. They can go to school or work, but they should not travel far away and run around the world alone!
After the Shen head finished scolding his daughter-in-law, he saw that she was docile and obedient, with an expression of "I will be obedient and good in the future", and he felt even more satisfied: You see, the daughter-in-law should be raised as a daughter, she cannot be indulged, she must be strictly disciplined.
However, the next day, Director Shen slapped himself in the face - not only did he allow his daughter-in-law to travel far away alone, he also personally bought a plane ticket for her!
This cannot be blamed on Director Shen being unprincipled; there are reasons for everything.
Director Shen got up early in the morning and rushed to the canteen to buy breakfast for his daughter-in-law. He remembered that his daughter-in-law said she loved the big meat buns, bean juice, fried cakes, and steamed cakes in the factory canteen. He bought a little of each and came back with a big bag. As soon as he walked to the door, he heard his daughter-in-law talking on the phone in the living room. He knew it was Shen Yu: "... Later, it was no use later. You should have... Your calculation is not accurate at all! If I really get pregnant, I won't hurt myself to get rid of him. When my belly is too big and I can't go to school or hold a wedding, I will definitely be unhappy. You can decide for yourself."
“!!!…”
Director Shen couldn't hear what was said afterwards. He seemed to be knocked unconscious by a golden nugget falling from the sky. Only one sentence was buzzing in his head: Pregnant! Pregnant!
Director Shen grinned from ear to ear: He has a grandson! He's going to be a grandfather!
When Director Shen entered the room, he pretended that he knew nothing. He had to pretend, otherwise he would have to admit that he had eavesdropped on the children's private conversations. How embarrassing would that be?
When Meng Tao suggested that they wanted to go to Guangzhou in the south for sightseeing and shopping, it would take many days by train, and the train was hot and stuffy, so it would be great if they could take a plane.
Director Shen agreed immediately, made a phone call and got it done on the spot. He also asked Xiao Guo to drive Meng Tao to the airport in his private car. At the end, he handed Meng Tao a deposit certificate and a private seal. The deposit certificate could be withdrawn at Guangzhou Bank. There was more than 8,000 yuan in it. Director Shen told her that she could withdraw money with the private seal, without a password. After withdrawing the money, she could buy whatever she wanted and there was no need to save.
Meng Tao refused, but Director Shen said that if you are going on a long journey, you must be fully prepared just in case, and if you don't take the money, you can't go. Meng Tao didn't want to hear that, so she put it away without saying anything.
As soon as he sent his daughter-in-law away, Director Shen called Shen Yu and ordered his son in a serious tone that he had never spoken before to rush to Guangzhou immediately and take good care of his daughter-in-law. If anything happened to the precious grandson in her belly, he would never forgive him as a grandfather!
Shen Yu: “…”
Dad is causing trouble for him! He is also very anxious. This sudden and completely unplanned thing caught him off guard.
But the task he has just taken on is very important, involving an overseas project, and no one can replace him, so he simply cannot get away.
Tao Tao said that her physical condition was normal, but she had missed two periods. Previously, they both thought that it might be due to the influence of the spiritual power of the jade mine absorbed by Province Y. Now she was a little bit suspicious whether she was pregnant? It was just a suspicion, and it could not be confirmed without a doctor's diagnosis.
But my dad just believes everything he hears and worries about nothing.
He persuaded Taotao on the phone that since she had doubts, she should not go to the south for the time being, but return to Beijing to reunite with her husband and wife. When he went out to work during the day, Taotao should rest at home and review her lessons. After the busiest days, he would accompany her to the hospital for a check-up. If she was not pregnant, she could still go to the south. It was fine... The father and son did not have a tacit understanding and did not cooperate, but he did not even ask, and immediately booked a plane ticket for Taotao without any principles, and sent her to Guangzhou! This positive attitude and efficiency are really unmatched by anyone.
Dad’s reason: Taotao cannot be unhappy. If Taotao is unhappy, his precious grandson will be in a bad mood, which will affect the development of his precious grandson. This is absolutely not allowed!
Shen Yu was speechless.
He couldn't rush to Guangshi immediately, so he could only contact Meng Zhehan first, and then call relevant friends in Guangshi and surrounding areas to take precautions and be prepared. He hoped Taotao would be safe and sound, have fun, and return soon.
Meng Tao flew to Guangshi in more than three hours. After landing and leaving the airport, she was not in a hurry to find a place to stay. Instead, she went to visit teahouses and restaurants, ordered signature dishes and special snacks, and feasted on them. As the saying goes, eat best in Guangshi, and Guangshi's food is world-famous. It really lives up to its reputation. Meng Tao happened to be hungry, and she ate to her heart's content.
As for what happened to her father-in-law and husband later, she had no control over it.
