Grandpa and uncle knew about this a long time ago and were speaking up for Shen Yu.
Granny Xu had heard that Shen Yu was going on a business trip in the near future, but she didn't care. All men were like that, traveling all over the world. He could just go on a business trip, and Taotao could stay at home and be taken care of by the whole family.
Knowing that Shen Yu was going to take Meng Tao away, she immediately became anxious and refused to agree no matter what: "Are you kidding me? My granddaughter-in-law's belly is so big, she will give birth in two months. I watch her every day and never let her go out, but now she wants to take a plane. What are you doing?"
There was no other way, Shen Yu had to tell his grandmother that he was reluctant to leave his wife, and he also wanted to take his wife to the international standard hospital over there for a physical check-up. There was a specialized obstetrics and gynecology hospital over there, with experienced and famous doctors, so he would feel more at ease after seeing her.
Grandma Xu glared at him, "Don't try to fool me. Which of the many hospitals in Beijing is not up to standard? What are the internationally renowned doctors? Aren't they those who studied abroad? We have quite a few of them! How about Doctor Lin, Professor Lin? She just came back from an academic exchange abroad. Grandma has already greeted her and she agreed to personally deliver Taotao's baby!"
Meng Tao was secretly excited: Wow, what did she hear? Doctor Lin, Professor Lin? Was it the goddess in the medical field that she knew?
Shen Yu: “…”
Grandma knew more about this than he did, so he changed the topic: "Grandma, we have many famous doctors, but the medical equipment and instruments they currently use are outdated. Not only does it waste time, but it also consumes too much of their energy and affects their performance. We are going on this business trip to bring back various advanced equipment and instruments. You know that trade negotiations cannot be passed in one or two times. It's a bit long to stay there. I don't want to be separated from Taotao for too long, so I want to take her with me."
“……” Grandma Xu was silent.
My grandson said it so clearly. First, the newlyweds have a good relationship and are reluctant to be separated. Second, the hospital over there has advanced equipment and if they have the conditions to go there for a check-up, they can understand their physical condition more accurately. It is a good thing. We can't stop them from going, right?
After thinking about it, I began to feel a little relieved.
Grandma's mind was a little off, and she didn't think of this for a moment: Taotao was in good health, why did she have to go to those advanced equipment for examination? Many people didn't go through advanced equipment for examination, but they were fine, right?
But it may also be that grandma was thinking more deeply. After all, Shen Yu's mother died of complications during childbirth, and so did Taotao's mother. It just so happened that these two children were destined to be together. She was really happy, but at this time, people who have experienced it can't help but think about it and have all kinds of worries. Anyway, it's - very worrying.
Shen Yu assured her again and again, and finally grandma agreed to let Taotao go with him. However, she couldn't help nagging and giving him many instructions, which made the couple's ears callused.
Two days later, Shen Yu and Meng Tao left the capital by plane. Their family and friends thought they were flying directly to Guangzhou in the south, but in fact they went to Y Province first and planned to go to Guangzhou three days later.
For the trade negotiations with foreign businessmen in the port city this time, Shen Yu's unit sent a team, which set out in two batches. Shen Yu had other tasks and did not go with other colleagues, so he could lag behind.
Arriving at the capital of Y Province at noon, Shen Yu sent Meng Tao to the empty house of his cousin. It was called an empty house because his cousin was in the camp for a long time and seldom came back. Sometimes no one lived in the house for a month. It was not empty, but fortunately someone came in regularly to clean it, so it was clean and fresh. In addition, it was in the family compound, so it was safe.
After settling his young wife and watching her release Xiao Wangcai from the space to keep her company, Shen Yu transformed into Grandma Xu, chattering away and giving Meng Tao some instructions. He also told Xiao Wangcai to protect the hostess, and then went out to do his business. If all went well, he would be back around tomorrow afternoon.
After seeing Shen Yu off, Meng Tao was not idle either. She took out her notebook and called the contacts and numbers one by one according to the numbers on it.
Y Province has various special products of high quality and low price. Last time, she and Shen Yu purchased a large number of items according to this network of relationships, and went back to distribute them to relatives and friends. The remaining items were repackaged and Shen Yu sold them directly to the mysterious boss in wholesale. Later, she requested to continue the supply many times, but unfortunately Shen Yu had a grudge against money, and Leng Ao just said "No" and sent him away.
Shen Yu was both angry and amused, and tapped her forehead twice: You are disobedient. You ran around everywhere when I told you to have a good rest. You are so obsessed with money that you won't let go of any opportunity to make money.
The eldest cousin had two phone calls with Meng Tao, but she didn't come back. It was obvious that she was too busy. Before Shen Yu and Meng Tao left, they left a lot of food produced in the space for the eldest cousin, and told her on the phone to come back as soon as possible to take them and eat them as soon as possible to avoid them "spoiling".
The various sauces, dried meats and drinks would not go bad, but the spiritual energy in the food would slowly dissipate if left like this, which would be quite a waste.
When the couple arrived in Guangzhou, they felt very hot as soon as they got off the plane. Their cotton coats suddenly seemed cumbersome. The temperature in Guangzhou was still very high in winter. Many people at the airport were still wearing short-sleeved shirts. The climate difference between the north and the south was too great. It was no wonder that people from the north flocked to the south to spend the winter in later generations, while southerners who had never really seen ice and snow envied the cool world of the north.
The person who came to pick them up turned out to be their eldest cousin Xu Hengkai. He was dressed casually, was a little tanned, and had a gray-blue cloth hat on his head. If Shen Yu hadn't reminded her, Meng Tao would not have recognized him.
"Taotao." Xu Hengkai smiled with his white teeth. Perhaps because he was dating someone, his expression became lively and his face was not so stiff anymore.
"Thank you for your hard work, cousin." Meng Tao said with a smile.
"It's not hard, it's not hard. I just arrived too. I heard Sun Hong say he wanted to pick you up, so I hijacked his car and came here myself."
Xu Hengkai helped carry the luggage and talked to Shen Yu as they walked. When they got in the car, he asked Meng Tao, "What's in these heavy bags? Give me some food if you have any. I'm starving here."
Meng Tao: "They say that eating is the best in Guangshi. There are so many delicious foods on the streets. You are actually crying out for hunger here. Are you being worthy of the people of Guangshi?"
"I don't always go around the city... Besides, you have to have money to eat those delicacies. If you don't have money, you can't even touch them."
"That's for sure. You still want to eat for free? It's not like you don't have money."
"I really don't have any money."
"Where's your salary?"
Before Xu Hengkai could answer, Shen Yu interrupted, "You can't touch your salary. You have to save it for marrying a wife."
All three of them laughed.
