Fortunately, Shi Huixian did not go to find Xu Yulin, because she would have been angry even if she had gone.

The next day after the two sides had a falling out over their in-laws, Xu Yulin left Beijing and returned to the team.

After a phone call from Meng Zhehan, Xu Yulin and Liu Jianye ended their vacation early and were sent to the north by their superiors to carry out tasks. In this way, when Meng Tao and his party arrived at Heilingzi Village and Hongsong Town on the Double Ninth Festival, the two of them would have finished their work and could go to meet them and make up for the vacation.

Shen Yu was on a business trip for a week. Meng Tao was reluctant to let him go at first and couldn't sleep well the night before. But she was fine after two days: Shen Yu called her every morning and evening, with a lively and lovely baby son in his arms, who was so adorable that one glance at him would melt her. He couldn't get enough of taking care of his son and playing with Xiao Wangcai every day.

There is still endless work to do in the space. The homework assigned by Master Shen Yu must be done every day without being lazy. Meng Tao also likes to tinker with medicinal food and cosmetics according to various recipes in ancient books... It is easy to get addicted to doing these things, so she has to use an alarm clock to remind herself in the space, otherwise she will forget the time.

During this period, I heard a big piece of news, about Xu Yulin and his girlfriend.

I kept three appointments: went to a restaurant with Dou Nannan; accepted an invitation to have dinner at Han's house; and several moms got together with their cute babies to communicate and show each other what skills their babies had learned.

I was even dragged by my stepmother and mother-in-law to participate in an art exhibition together...

Every time Shen Yu called and asked if she missed her husband, Meng Tao would say she was busy every day and had no time to think about him, which made Shen Yu feel very resentful.

A week passed in the blink of an eye. Shen Yu came back from a business trip. It was evening when he got home and was preparing to have dinner.

He deliberately did not tell his family the exact time of his return, wanting to give them a little surprise. But when he got off the car at the door of his house, he saw Meng Tao coming out holding little Yunhai. The mother and son were smiling triumphantly, and little Wangcai followed behind them, wagging his tail and looking very excited.

Shen Yu smiled and took his wife and son into his arms, kissing each of them. Xiao Wangcai also came over. Shen Yu touched its head, then took his son and found that he was heavier. He lowered his head and gently touched the little head, and asked, "Do you miss your dad?"

Little Yunhai laughed and drooled: "Big brother! Big brother, big brother!"

Then two chubby hands held Shen Yu's face and went straight to his mouth. The couple thought that the little guy was biting again, but they were wrong. Xiao Yunhai didn't use any force, he was just kissing his father and smeared Shen Yu's face with saliva.

Shen Yu's heart softened, and he no longer cared about his son drooling. He hugged him and kissed him twice, saying to Meng Tao, "Look how well behaved and honest my son is. You are nothing but annoyed at me!"

Meng Tao smiled and wiped the father and son's faces with a handkerchief: "Who told you not to accompany us and go out to have fun? I won't be angry with you if you go home."

"How can I be carefree? I'm too busy with work every day. By the way, how did you know I was coming back today? Did Ding Hao tell me?"

"No, it's not hard to guess. You've been saying this for about a week. Then little Yunhai woke up this morning and was playing on his bed. He called out "Dad" many times. During the day, Mrs. Gan and grandma played with him and he kept calling out "Dad". He wasn't like this before. I thought about it a little more and asked someone to find out about the flight and calculate the time. Isn't this how I caught you?"

"Hey... What do you mean by catching a turtle in a jar? Can you find a better word? I'll punish you by making you recite the 'Idiom Collection' later!"

Shen Yu was both angry and amused. He hugged his young wife with affectionate eyes and said, "I brought gifts for you and my son. Mom and Dad also have gifts. Also, I took a look at the specialty products you mentioned over there. They are really good. I asked someone to find a warehouse to buy a large amount of them. I will take a leave in a week. We will take the time to fly over to pick up the goods, and then go to Heilingzi Village."

"Great, my husband is awesome! Here's a Trojan horse as a reward!"

"Is that all?"

"What else do you want? The baby is watching."

Meng Tao was speechless: "I haven't eaten yet, and I came to pick up my dad with an empty stomach. Are you so impatient?"

"Then go home quickly and let dad feed you. After you're full, baby can go to sleep, okay?"

"Hmm, hmm, hmm!" Little Yunhai fluttered in his father's arms, laughing happily. He hadn't seen his father for a long time and was happy no matter what.

In the next few days, the relatives were all talking about Shen Yumengtao taking Xiao Yunhai to visit relatives in the Northeast. Worried that the weather was starting to get cold, they reminded them to bring more clothes.

It was still Grandma Xu and my aunt who helped prepare gifts for relatives and friends over there.

Xu Zhen was the first one who couldn't bear to leave her eldest grandson. It had been almost ten days, and the adorable baby Tuanzi was not at home. The thought of it made her feel bored.

She also wanted to go with her son, daughter-in-law, and grandson, but Shen Heping refused to agree to anything: What would he do if they all went? He would be left alone.

He can't ask for leave because he is currently in charge of two important projects and can't leave.

Don't ask him how he survived decades of loneliness. Anyway, if you let him recall those days now, he will never accept it and won't be able to survive for a day! Seeing that her father-in-law was nervous and tried to please her stepmother and act pitiful, fearing that he would be abandoned, Meng Tao couldn't help but laugh secretly. She wanted to help him, so she moved two pots of beautiful and fresh camellia from the space, asked Shen Yu to pretend that he bought them, and asked his father to give them to stepmother. Sure enough, when stepmother saw such fairy-like camellia, she immediately aroused her desire to create. She didn't mention going to the Northeast, but only wrote a note to Shen Yu and Meng Tao, asking them to take good care of their eldest grandson. Then she began to calm down and paint a few beautiful paintings while her inspiration was overflowing.

When Shen Heping saw that this trick worked, he was overjoyed and praised his son. But the old man was greedy. After calming his wife down, he tried to persuade Shen Yu and Meng Tao to leave their eldest grandson behind, saying that the journey was too far and it was inconvenient to take care of the child, so they could just go there and he would definitely take care of the child at home.

Of course Meng Tao refused to do that. She was worried about leaving her baby alone for such a long time.

Shen Yu also disagreed, saying that his son was so young and needed his parents.

Xu Yuting and Liu Jicheng ran back to Shen's house every night for several days in a row and asked to go to the Northeast.

Shen Yu said, "Aren't Yulin and Jianye over there? Why do we need so many people there? To fight?"

Xu Yuting: "I'm definitely not afraid of a fight. What if I run into that black blind guy I mentioned last year? Wouldn't more people mean more strength?"

Meng Tao said with a smile: "Do you dare to go up to the black bear? Don't regret it when the time comes."

"Little Huahua, do you dare to compete? Brother is no longer a humble man!"

Looking at Xu Yulin rolling up his sleeves to show off his muscles, Shen Yu was speechless and wanted to throw this guy out.

Finally he agreed to their request, but asked them to set off early, not by plane but by car, to follow Ding Hao on a long-distance trip. This time they had to bring more things, and originally only Ding Hao and another driver would drive a truck. Xu Yuting and Liu Jicheng were also going, so they had to get another truck.
