Meng Tao asked: "Did your eldest cousin tell you?"

"No, I guessed."

"That's amazing. You can predict the future."

Shen Yu smiled: "I went to pick you up and saw my cousin's car parked on the side of the road, and he was sitting inside. Gu Yingying didn't want to go with us, so I guessed my cousin would get off. After all, the three of them, my cousin, Liwen and Gu Yingying, have a very good relationship. They were a close group when they were in school."

"You saw your cousin, why didn't you say hello?"

"Who knows why he stopped there? His job is quite special, and he usually requires us to pretend we don't know him when we meet him outside and ignore him. If you see him like this on the street in the future, unless he takes the initiative to talk to you, otherwise just go your separate ways and pretend you didn't see him, understand?"

"knew."

As they talked, Shen Yu took a horn comb and carefully combed his young wife's soft and shiny hair. Meng Tao's hair had grown long, and she wanted to cut it to keep it short, but Shen Yu was reluctant to do so, as he thought his wife would look better with long hair. He also heard that she had long flowing hair in another world, so he didn't allow her to cut it. So now he took care of Meng Tao's hair. When the weather got cold, they used the overseas remittance coupons to buy a hair dryer at the Friendship Store, and they would blow-dry their hair after washing it. Shen Yu was smart and had strong hands-on skills. He did a great job in braiding a pigtail for the first time, and he could also tie a bun.

When the two finished washing up, it was already late at night. They closed the doors and windows, turned off the lights and entered the space. Meng Tao remembered the skin care products she promised to give to her two cousins, and took out a box of cosmetics that Shen Yu's friend had given her. There were dozens of bottles of various sizes, glass bottles, fine porcelain bottles and crystal bottles. Meng Tao chose three sets, a total of more than ten bottles for whitening, tenderizing and hydrating. She opened the lids and poured out the pastes and liquids inside one by one, slightly improved and "processed" them, then repacked them and placed them on the stone steps beside the spring pool, allowing the misty spiritual energy to fully penetrate and enhance the efficacy.

Meng Tao can actually make her own skin care products. She found an ancient book in the study room of the space, which recorded more than a hundred ancient recipes for beautifying the skin and maintaining youth. The production of these skin care products does not seem to be very difficult, but the materials required are varied and a bit complicated. She has not collected them all yet. Some medicinal herbs are better to grow by herself, but she has to find seeds.

We are currently slowly preparing for this, and when the time is right, we will open a pharmaceutical company and launch traditional cosmeceuticals.

Shen Yu saw Meng Tao fiddling with the bottles, and learned that they were cosmetics for Xu Yingshuang and Xu Liwen, so he said, "Don't give them too much at once. They won't be able to use them all and will give them away."

He knew the personalities of his cousins. Xu Yingshuang and Xu Liwen were both extravagant spendthrifts, and were often scolded by their grandmother as spendthrift girls. They dared not let their grandfather know about their "glorious" deeds.

Especially Xu Yingshuang, her most typical spendthrift behavior is that as long as she likes something, no matter what it is, she will buy it no matter how expensive it is, and then she will not like it anymore and give it away immediately without even wanting to take a second look at it.

They clean out their personal belongings regularly. Some of the items are duplicates that they no longer use or don't want to use anymore, while others are gifts from friends and relatives that have not been opened and are thrown away or given away.

So Shen Yu reminded his young wives that it is better to be modest when giving them gifts and not give them too much at once, as this would make them feel that it came too easily and it would be a waste.

Meng Tao said: "They are all complete sets. If you give them away, they will be incomplete. You are not that stupid, right? I have three sets here, four bottles in each set. They know they are good things after using them. It would be strange if they were willing to give them away."

"It's just Yingshuang and Liwen, why are there three sets?"

Shen Yu sat next to his wife and said with a smile, "I really didn't see it after all these years. I thought my cousin treated Gu Yingying the same way he treated Li Wen. But he really only treated Gu Yingying and would not take the initiative to interact with other girls outside. If grandpa and grandma don't object, he will get what he wanted this time.

In the previous life that Tian Zhigao talked about, the eldest cousin married Gu Panpan, but they divorced in less than two years. According to the eldest cousin's personality, it is unlikely that he would accept an arranged marriage, and he did not like Gu Panpan even more. It is likely that something unexpected happened between him and Gu Panpan, which led to the marriage. "

"I also think that it might be Gu Panpan who did something wrong. She dared to push Gu Yingying into the trap set by Lian Yinghao. What else can she not do? In addition, Gu Panpan and Pan Lina have a close relationship and are good girlfriends. If they hadn't broken up in their previous life, Pan Lina only needed to give Gu Panpan a little help and set up a trap with the help of both inside and outside. No matter how smart my cousin is, he can't prevent the calculations of his own family."

"Pan Lina... She is my second cousin's wife. My second cousin is not often at home. My grandma and my aunt are in charge of her. You should stay away from her."

"Don't worry, Pan Lina doesn't want to talk to me anymore. Because of my appearance, she was almost disfigured, which caused her friendship with Gu Panpan to fall apart. She lost a 'good friend'. She probably thinks I'm her nemesis now and tries to avoid me."

"That's good."

Xu Hengkai came back from the front yard and planned to talk to Shen Yu and Meng Tao and express his gratitude to Meng Tao. Gu Yingying told him what happened during the day. If Meng Tao had not happened to pass by and rescued her, Gu Yingying would have been killed.

Xu Hengkai knew a little about Meng Tao's situation. He knew that she was naturally strong, but she was a woman after all, and she was pregnant. If Lian Yinghao had been a little more vigilant, the consequences... I dare not imagine! At the same time, he was extremely grateful and extremely angry. Xu Hengkai secretly made a decision in his heart.

As he approached the moon-shaped door, he heard Xiao Wangcai's low growl. He looked around the room and saw that it was pitch black. The couple had obviously gone to bed. He could only wait until tomorrow.

I returned to my room, turned on the light and looked at the room I had lived in for so many years. It couldn't be more familiar, and I knew every corner like the back of my hand. But suddenly I felt that the scene in front of me was quite unfamiliar. There were obviously a lot of furniture and decorations, but it seemed very empty. I even felt as if I was in another world.

After a brief pause, the corners of Xu Hengkai's lips twitched. He roughly understood what was going on: he had just reported to the elders that he and Gu Yingying were officially dating. Except for his parents and grandmother who had objections, his grandfather didn't say anything and finally expressed his respect for his choice.

This means that there won't be too much resistance between him and Yingying. If nothing unexpected happens, he will be able to get married next year and live with Yingying forever.

This courtyard and house will be renovated like Shen Yu's, changing the old layout and preparing to welcome the hostess.

So, he is saying goodbye to his single days in advance.
