Shen Yu heard her bragging and chuckled, "I know you are amazing, but you are pregnant now and you are in advanced stages of pregnancy. We won't take the risk."

"It's okay. I'm in better health than most people. I feel the same as usual. If you need to go on a long trip, just go ahead and don't worry about me. If you're worried, just take me with you. I can also go on a trip. It's boring to stay at home all the time."

Shen Yu flicked her forehead and said, "You are just playing around. Let's see what happens."

"If something happens, take me with you?"

"Um."

Meng Tao made a scissors hand gesture, and Shen Yu was amused by her again. He was reluctant to let go of his lovely wife, and insisted on pulling someone to send him out the door.

On the way, Meng Tao told Shen Yu: "Grandpa Liu and Grandma Liu knew that Jianli was injured. They are very worried and want to come to see him. They may arrive in Beijing in two days."

Shen Yu: "Didn't Liu Jianli ask us not to tell them first?"

"We didn't tell him. It should be Brother Liu. It doesn't matter if he comes. Jianli has recovered very well. He can eat and drink well and looks good. Grandpa Liu and Grandma Liu will be relieved to see it with their own eyes."

"Okay, I got it. I'll find time to go over there tomorrow and ask Uncle Gao and his wife to clean up the house so that Grandpa Liu and Grandma Liu can stay there. How many people are there?"

"Grandpa Liu and Grandma Liu are bringing Little Mingming. Big Brother Liu should be here soon. When they get here, we have to move back. I'll tell Grandma later."

"good."

"Also, I met Brother Zhehan's aunt in the hospital today. She brought her two children there to visit Mr. Dou. Mr. Dou fell off a ladder and broke his lower leg. His granddaughter Dou Qianqian chatted with me for a while. I told her to go to the hospital again on the weekend to see Mr. Dou...Are you going?"

"I've been busy these days. I originally planned to go see Jianli on the weekend. Now that I know where Mr. Dou is in the hospital, I should visit him."

After a pause, Shen Yu continued, "I want to tell you something: Mr. Dou and our grandfather have been friends for many years. He has watched me grow up and taught me chess. In addition to Dou Qianqian, he also has a granddaughter, Dou Nannan. Before, Mr. Dou wanted to match me with Dou Nannan."

"You promised?"

"Of course not. I think I said at that time that I didn't consider starting a family. Later, Dou Nannan was assigned to our system, and we occasionally met at work. She tried to find opportunities to talk several times, but I clearly refused."

Meng Tao was speechless. So that's what was happening. She finally understood Dou Nannan's hostility towards her. There really was a causal relationship.

"It's the past, why are you telling me?" Meng Tao said pretending to be indifferent.

"Now that you've met Dou Qianqian, you may meet Dou Nannan in the future. They are twins and look alike, but their personalities are different. Dou Nannan is very self-centered, willful and arrogant. I have to be on guard against her saying something unpleasant or being rude to you. If that happens, you can just fight back."

"Look at you. You're attracting bees and butterflies everywhere, and who else? Tell me all of them."

"Wife, you are wronging me."

Meng Tao snorted and poked his chest with her finger: "I have met Dou Nannan, she is as pretty and elegant as Dou Qianqian, a good girl, and a good match for her. Don't you regret rejecting her?"

Shen Yu held the rebellious little hand in his palm and kneaded it: "Except my little fairy, no one else is worthy of my expectation. For me, my precious daughter-in-law is the best!"

Shen Yu looked at his jealous wife, his heart blossoming with joy, and he couldn't suppress the smile on his lips: "I rejected all the gifts from girls in person, who knows if it's a love letter? My heart beats for you, and I will only date you."

"Have you ever dated me?"

"Why not? We have done this many times."

"Do you know what a date is?"

“…”

When Shen Yu was asked by her, he was a little uncertain: "What do you think?"

Meng Tao chuckled: "It's hard to explain it all at once. If you don't have to go out, let's go on a date now."

Shen Yu raised his wrist to check his watch: "Eh? I have to go - wait for tomorrow, remember to make an appointment with me tomorrow!"

Meng Tao: “…”

On Friday, Shen Yu and Meng Tao moved back to the Shen residence in the east of the city. Because Liu Yongsheng and his wife were coming, they had to make some preparations in advance.

Grandma Xu disagreed at first, saying that when Liu Yongsheng and his wife came, they could just live directly in the Xu Mansion. The Mansion is spacious and there is enough room for them, so there is no need to move around. Meng Tao told her that not only Liu Yongsheng and his wife, but also several brothers of the Liu family would come, and there might be elderly people and children as well. There is access control in and out of the Xu Mansion, and she was afraid that it would be inconvenient for everyone, so they could just live in the Shen residence.

Grandma Xu had no choice but to agree, and Grandpa Xu said that it didn't matter where they lived since it wasn't far away, and when the relatives came, he and grandma could go live there and everyone would be happy together.

Uncle Gao and Aunt Gao live in the front yard of the Shen family's house. They usually look after the yard and clean. While the sun is shining, Meng Tao and Aunt Gao turn over the beds and quilts to dry them in the sun. The sheets and quilt covers had been washed and put away in the cupboard before, but they were taken out to dry in the sun to prevent them from getting damp.

On Sunday morning, Meng Tao and Shen Yu went to the hospital and brought three large insulated lunch boxes, which contained stewed chicken and fish ball soup, two vegetarian dishes, rice, and large meat buns. They brought so much because Xu Yuting was there too, and it was Sunday so they could improve his diet. Otherwise, he would not be able to swallow the food in the cafeteria while watching Liu Jicheng chewing chicken legs and drinking fish soup.

Two net bags of apples and pears were also prepared, one for Liu Jianli and Xu Yuting, and the other with two boxes of high-quality nutritional supplements to be taken to visit Mr. Dou.

There is no need for soup, rice, etc. Mr. Dou has the same status as Grandpa Xu, and there are people in charge of their food. Unless they are relatives, outsiders generally don't send food, and they won't eat it even if it is sent.

As soon as the car stopped at the hospital, Xu Yuting came out from somewhere, smiling brightly and calling out "Xiao Huahua". He helped Meng Tao open the car door, and his two big white front teeth sparkled in the sun.

Shen Yu couldn't bear to watch and regretted not bringing Xiao Wangcai with him. This idiot had to be kept by Xiao Wangcai.

The three of them took the goodies upstairs. Xu Yuting, a foodie, kept asking Meng Tao what delicious food she had brought. He was very happy just to hear that there were big meat buns. He loved pasta the most. This was the stuffing Meng Tao prepared herself. How could it not be delicious?

When they arrived at the ward, everyone sat around Liu Jicheng's bed and talked. The topic they talked about the most was naturally the upcoming visit of Liu Yongsheng and his wife. Shen Yu asked Liu Jicheng how he felt and encouraged him. He then asked Xu Yuting to help Liu Jicheng and let the two of them eat in the room. Shen Yu picked up a net bag of apples and nutritional supplements and went to visit Mr. Dou with Meng Tao.
