Shen Yu then went out and made a few phone calls.

When going to pick up Xu Hengze, I naturally have to bring space medicine, so that if the injury is serious, he can be saved in time. In addition, I have asked my friends in the northwest to help find and collect medicinal materials, so I can bring back a few important ones for Xu Zhen's prescription.

Shen Yu left overnight, so Grandma Xu didn't let Meng Tao and Bao Bao go back to the Shen residence. Shen Heping and Xu Zhen also stayed and called the Shen residence. Liu Jianli and Xu Yuting had to live in the school for the next few days, so they told Uncle Gao and Aunt Gao that the whole family would stay at the Xu residence tonight.

The next day was Sunday. Except for Grandpa Xu, Uncle Xu and Second Uncle Xu who were still busy going out, Xu Hengkai had disappeared last night. Everyone else gathered at home and enjoyed a leisurely Sunday.

But because they were worried about Xu Hengze, no one could feel relaxed. Even the weather was cloudy. It didn't look like it was going to rain, but there was no sun in the sky.

After breakfast, Meng Tao wanted to take Shen Yunhai out shopping in a stroller and take Xiao Wangcai for a walk. Xu Zhen wanted to go with them, but Xu Mingni stopped her: "Auntie, stay at home with grandma. Taotao and I will take the baby for a walk."

Meng Tao smiled at Xu Mingni and said, "Professor Xu's time is so precious that he usually doesn't want to waste it. We dare not trouble you."

"No matter how precious my time is, it's worth spending it on you two."

Xu Mingni patted the bag on her shoulder generously and said, "Let's go to the store later. Just tell me what you want to buy. I have money and I will buy it for you!"

"That's really flattering."

"It's no big deal. Just help me urge Shen Yu to come back and have the courier from the south deliver the pile of ceramic fragments to me as soon as possible! You must protect them for me! I was planning to go there by myself, but Shen Yu insisted that it was not necessary. He asked someone to deliver it, and I don't know when it will arrive. You have to help me urge him."

Meng Tao: “…”

She said that her fourth cousin, who usually didn't want to spend time shopping, was acting so abnormally today, and it turned out that it was because of that pile of broken ceramics.

The things were in the space, and Shen Yu deliberately said that it would take time to transport them over, which made Xu Mingni anxious.

Meng Tao said that she would urge her, but there was really no need for her to go shopping with her, and she could just go do whatever she had to do. However, Xu Mingni said that she also wanted to shop, so it was a good idea for them to go together.

Shen Heping did not approve of Meng Tao taking the child out on the street in a stroller. Several streets were being renovated recently and there was a lot of dust. If he went out for a walk for half a day, wouldn't his chubby grandson turn into a black-skinned loach by the time he got home?

So without further ado, she called the driver to drive them shopping. The car was like a small mobile house. The baby had to be fed every once in a while, and it was more convenient in the car. Otherwise, what would she do on the street? Meng Tao couldn't explain that when she was feeding, she would find a secluded place to enter the space.

Now that Xu Mingni wants to follow, she can't enter the space. She can just take the car. However, the plan is for the mother and son to take Xiao Wangcai on a relaxing half-day trip, which will require two more people and a car.

When Grandma Xu heard that they were going shopping, she didn't want to let them take the baby with them. But the baby needed to be breastfed, and had to stay with his mother. So she reminded them not to play too much with the baby and to come back early. She also wanted Aunt Ma to go with them. Meng Tao said no, and that she and her cousin could take care of each other. Xu Mingni also thought that it would be inconvenient to have too many people, so Grandma Xu had to give up.

I went to several shops on the street and bought some things. On the second floor of the Friendship Store, I met Dou Qianqian and Dou Nannan. The two sisters were there to buy gifts for a birthday party at a relative's home. When Dou Nannan saw Meng Tao and her son, she decided not to go to the birthday party and let Dou Qianqian go by herself.

Dou Qianqian had no choice, because she was the eldest, so she teased Shen Yunhai for a while, and got a sweet smile from the handsome boy, then she left contentedly.

Meng Tao asked Dou Nannan: "You didn't even go to the banquet. Are you still thinking about the meal I owe you?"

"Okay, it's noon now, we all need to eat, why not wait for a better day, let's go have a good meal."

Xu Mingni said: "It's my treat. It's on me."

Meng Tao refused: "You can treat me next time. I need to pay off my debt today so that people won't think about it every day."

Dou Nannan didn't care about them. She smiled and shook Shen Yunhai's chubby hand: "Let's go to Lao Mo. Is the baby happy?"

The driver took them to Lao Mo's restaurant. Xiao Yunhai fell asleep after drinking milk in the car. Meng Tao let him lie in the stroller, and Xiao Wangcai lay next to the stroller. The three women chose a table and sat down. The foreign waitress came over to take their order. Meng Tao looked at her two companions resentfully. They could eat ice cream, but she had to breastfeed, and she couldn't eat spicy cold ice. Grandma Xu had told her this many times since the confinement period.

After finishing their meal and slowly sipping their drinks, a group of guests walked in from outside, four or five men and women. They were originally planning to sit down between two tables and a bronze pillar. One of the women glanced at Meng Tao and the others for a few more times, then walked straight over. The others paused and followed.

Meng Tao had already seen clearly that the woman who came over was Jiang Xiuzhen, so she said to Dou Nannan: "Your friend is here to see you."

Dou Nannan looked cold: "Not anymore, she has a grudge against you, don't bother with her in the future."

Meng Tao: “…” So what did I do to make her hate me?

As expected, it was Shen Yu who attracted bad luck in love again.

As they were talking, the group had already come close and stood still. Jiang Xiuzhen said, "Dou Nannan, just because someone treated you to a good meal and gave you some sweet treats, have you lost yourself?"

Dou Nannan looked at her and lowered his voice: "Shut up, stay away from here, I'll talk to you later."

Jiang Xiuzhen saw the baby carriage next to her and deliberately raised her voice: "If there is anything we can't talk about in person, we can say it now, go ahead!"

The baby in the stroller was woken up. He didn't cry, but just kicked his chubby legs and waved his lotus-root-like arms. Meng Tao picked him up, held him in her arms, and coaxed him softly: "Good baby, mommy is here."

Xiao Wangcai, who had been lying quietly, suddenly jumped up and barked at Jiang Xiuzhen twice. Meng Tao stopped him: "Be quiet, don't make noise in public places. Remember that you are a well-mannered and public-spirited dog."

Jiang Xiuzhen: “…” Her face flushed, she bit her lip and glared at Meng Tao, feeling that she was insulting her in a veiled way.

Xu Mingni stood up and pointed at the three men in the group, calling out their names: "Lian Yinghao, Wei Ziyao! Are you here to eat or to cause trouble? If you want to fight, go outside and I'll play with you! What kind of people are you? You saw a baby and made a loud noise. Can you afford to compensate me for scaring my baby? You are worse than a puppy!"

When Meng Tao heard the two names, she turned around to look at them. She had only been paying attention to Jiang Xiuzhen and hadn't looked at anyone else. When she saw Feng Liuyun, she was secretly surprised to find that he was among the group of people.
