Meng Tao said: "Who can you blame for this? You were the one who sent Xiao Wangcai to me, and the baby is blaming you for stealing his mother first."
Shen Yu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, it seemed to be true.
As the couple was talking, they went into the inner courtyard to meet Grandma Xu. After having dinner with everyone, Shen Yu took Meng Tao back to their room and prepared to change clothes and go out. The doctor said that pregnant women should take regular walks and exercise properly in order to have a smooth delivery. Shen Yu's mother had a difficult delivery, so not only Shen Yu, but also Grandpa Xu, Grandma Xu and others were a little nervous and paid special attention to this aspect. As long as it was a reasonable suggestion from the doctor, they would basically follow it.
Shen Yu and Meng Tao's walk took a long time. Once they went out, they would not come back for three or four hours, mainly because one of them was playful and the other was indulgent. They did not take a normal walk like ordinary people, just walking around the nearby streets or taking a walk in a park. Instead, they went everywhere in the city, east, west, south and north, and were more willing to go to the black market. There was a car in the space, which could be taken out and hit the road at any time. Meng Tao then put a little makeup on their faces and changed their coats, so that even if they were accidentally discovered by acquaintances, they would not be able to see clearly.
The purpose of going to the black market is not to sell things, but to look for opportunities to find bargains. Shen Yu must satisfy his wife's interest in this. The couple, one with a sharp eye and the other with accurate intuition, found more than ten kinds of old items in the black market. Each of them was a treasure that Meng Tao had seen on a treasure appraisal program in her previous life. They were worth millions or even tens of millions, which made her very happy.
Tonight, the two of them were going to a black market in South City. Halfway through the car, they unexpectedly saw cousin Xu. He was not driving, but walking quickly on the sidewalk with two people. Meng Tao looked at him more, and Xu Hengkai's eyes immediately followed. Fortunately, the new car driven by Shen Yu had black windows. Meng Tao stuck out her tongue: "How can you be so sensitive that you can sense someone looking at him through the glass. Is he born in the Year of the Dog? " Shen Yu said, "Cousin Xu is investigating a case recently. Any suspicious things will attract his attention. Our car is rare in Beijing. It may be targeted. We don't care, but we are afraid that it will disrupt their thinking and waste time."
So the two of them did not go to the black market. They were busy turning a few corners to shake off Xu Hengkai's tail, parked the car in a remote place, and then walked home.
Meng Tao said to Shen Yu, "No wonder my eldest cousin hasn't come home for dinner for a few days. He's been running around outside day and night. They're really working hard. On the Double Ninth Festival, you can send gifts to the elders in the name of the sea. Then give my eldest cousin a gourd of chrysanthemum wine."
Shen Yu: "You can give me the wine, but I'll just say it's the elders' help. I'll give you the gourd later. Grandpa and uncle don't have one yet, so it's not my cousin's turn yet. The gourd you gave to Meng Zhehan is now in his grandfather's hands. My gourd was seen by Director Shen, and he insisted that it was made of gold. He was worried about leaving it outside, so he took it and locked it in the safe in his room. Is it still mine?"
Meng Tao chuckled: "There are hundreds of them in the space, just give one to each person."
"No, you can only take out two at a time. Just take out one for this Double Ninth Festival and give it to grandpa."
Shen Yu thought of something and looked at Meng Tao. "The Double Ninth Festival is coming soon. We have to worship our ancestors on the Double Ninth Festival. Previously, Zhehan sent people to the place where He Lian, Guan Xiuzhi and Goudan's mother and son were buried. There have been relatives taking care of them. Grandpa thought that we should go there to worship our ancestors now that we have a family. Grandma is worried about your health and wants to wait until you have a baby. She asked us to go next year. What do you think?"
Meng Tao was stunned for a moment: worshiping ancestors on the Double Ninth Festival, this is different from the custom of Linshui Village.
She thought for a moment and replied, "Yes, we should go. Let's go on the Double Ninth Festival this year. I'm fine."
Shen Yu nodded: "Okay, that's it, I'll make the arrangements."
Shen Yu was training in the space, and Xiao Wangcai patrolled around as usual, then stared at the sea of clouds for half an hour. Meng Tao let it out when the time was right, and let it squat outside the door while she entered the space. Xiao Wangcai's combat power was very strong now. Not to mention Pan Lina, even people with high combat power like Grandpa Xu and eldest cousin would find it difficult to get through Xiao Wangcai and enter the room.
The couple finished their work together in the space, washed up, hugged each other and enjoyed a while of leisure time, then went to bed. Today is the weekend, and they can sleep in the bedroom of the wooden building in the space. It will be fine to get up late tomorrow, Sunday. In the past, Shen Yu would also work half a day, but now that his wife is pregnant, he tries not to work overtime, and postpones it if he can, and spends more time with his wife.
The next morning at around eleven o'clock, Shen Yu and Meng Tao went to the main courtyard. Many people had already gathered in the hall, including the two aunts, cousins, chatting and laughing, waiting for lunch.
Gu Panpan came again, probably because of the last incident, so she behaved very well this time and sat properly next to another strange girl. The girl had fair skin, pretty features, two dimples when she smiled, and was gentle and sweet. She was wearing a fashionable and exquisite autumn outfit, and had the temperament of a lady from a noble family. She was having a good conversation with her second cousin.
Pan Lina did not sit next to Gu Panpan, but sat far away next to her second aunt, with a cold look on her face. She might have been resentful. When she was fighting with Wu Hong, Gu Panpan, as her good friend, did not help her, causing her face to be injured and almost disfigured. The boat of friendship had already capsized.
Shen Yu took Meng Tao by the hand and greeted everyone. Grandma Xu then asked them to go to the side hall. She was afraid that Meng Tao would be hungry because she had slept in and had not eaten anything, so she gave her a bowl of soup first, and Shen Yu also had some to drink.
Meng Tao noticed that Shen Yu's eyes stayed on the strange woman for a moment, so she asked who it was. Shen Yu said it was Gu Panpan's cousin, Gu Yingying, who was familiar with the third cousin, but they didn't meet often because Gu Yingying was a music teacher in Hai City, far away from the capital.
When there was no one around, Shen Yu whispered to Meng Tao: The Xu family and the Gu family are interested in a marriage alliance. According to Tian Zhigao, the Xu family and the Gu family were indeed united in the previous life, but it was an ill-fated relationship. It is rumored that cousin Xu liked Gu Yingying, but in the end he married Gu Panpan because Gu Yingying died unexpectedly at a young age.
However, cousin Xu and Gu Panpan divorced less than two years after their marriage. The cousin was actually domestically violent, and the Xu and Gu families became enemies.
Meng Tao said: "Everyone can see that Gu Panpan likes cousin Xu. She came to the Xu residence just for her cousin, but it is obvious that her cousin doesn't like her. That Gu Yingying seems good. If they must arrange a marriage, and her cousin likes Gu Yingying, then let them be a couple."
Shen Yu fed Meng Tao a mouthful of the cooled soup. "Gu Panpan and Pan Lina are the same type. My eldest cousin definitely doesn't like them. You know Pan Lina was originally going to date my eldest cousin, but he refused, so she turned around and went to find my nerdy second cousin...Gu Yingying was a little impulsive when she was young. She ran away from marriage, eloped, and then divorced. In the eyes of the older generation, this is too rebellious. Grandpa and grandma may not be happy."
