At the end of February, Zhu Chunlin came to Beijing.

The large and small bags she brought were snacks from Meng Tao's hometown that her relatives from Heilingzi Village, Guanjia Village, Hongsong Town, and Hejia Village asked her to bring back.

Since Meng Tao couldn't finish the food at home, she divided it into several portions and gave some to relatives and friends to try.

After Zhu Chunlin had a good rest, Xu Yuting and Liu Jianli took him out to play for a few days. Then Shen Yu took the time to take Zhu Chunlin to the furniture factory to report. After completing all the formalities, he could rest for another two days and officially start work next Monday.

The factory arranged a single room in a tube-shaped dormitory for Zhu Chunlin, which was in accordance with the preferential policy for skilled workers. Generally, young workers lived in collective dormitories, with two, four or even eight people living in a room. Only those who wanted to get married could apply for a single room, and it depended on luck whether they could get one.

Meng Tao felt that the tube-shaped building was too small, so she planned to give the two courtyards she bought to Zhu Chunlin to live in, so that he could study his craft in his spare time and store wood and tools.

Shen Yu said: "Chunlin has just started working here, so it is better for him to live in the factory first to get familiar with the environment and enhance the relationship between co-workers. If he wants to study after work, he can go to the workshop, which is more convenient, and he can also learn from the master and co-workers."

Meng Tao thought it made sense and stopped talking.

In early March, Shen Yu was going on a business trip to Hong Kong City, and he could take Meng Tao and his son with him, which would last about twenty days.

Meng Tao was very happy: "I can finally go out and spend money again. It's really uncomfortable to have money in my pocket but not be able to spend it. I must buy, buy, buy! And she also has her favorite snacks. I haven't eaten them for a long time. This time I want to eat as much as I can!

Xu Zhen was very disappointed: Not only did she take her son and daughter-in-law with her, but she also took her beloved grandchild with her. She was unhappy! She wrote a note to Shen Yu: Either take the mother with you, or leave the baby at home!

Shen Yu: “…”

He found a reason to take his wife and children on this business trip, but it would be really difficult to take a mother with him as well.

In fact, it is not impossible to bring mother along. If we are going to other places, there is no problem at all. But now we are going to Hong Kong City, which requires passing many checkpoints and requiring prior application. He neglected it before and did not ask his mother whether she wanted to go.

When Shen Yu felt guilty, Shen Heping used an excuse to coax Xu Zhen, and she stopped making a fuss about going on a business trip with her son and daughter-in-law. She just hugged Xiao Yunhai and was unhappy - the sweet and caring little meat ball, the darling, would be away from him for many days, she would miss him very much, it would be hard to let him go! Shen Heping couldn't bear to see his beloved wife unhappy, so he could only comfort her with kind words. In fact, he didn't want his grandson to leave home, but the child was too young and was used to looking for his mother at night. He would feel even more distressed if he didn't see his mother crying. If he was two or three years old, he would decide to leave his grandson at home.

Meng Tao whispered to her stepmother, telling her that she would buy her some things, some daily necessities that are affordable and convenient, such as sanitary napkins that women need every month. This thing is not available in China now, but the Friendship Store sells it, but the supply cannot meet the demand. After all, there are many women who know how to enjoy life, and the Friendship Store is often out of stock. If you go too late, you won’t be able to buy it.

Meng Tao asked if there was anything else that stepmother wanted, and she could write it down. Xu Zhen thought about it and really made a list. Meng Tao picked it up and saw: Oh, stepmother is really rude, there are so many! When Grandpa Xu, Grandma, and Old Man Meng learned that Shen Yu was going on a business trip, they came to ask one after another. They were not very confident that the young couple would take the child to that sensitive and special place.

Grandma Xu said, "The baby will be one year old in a few days, and I'm planning a birthday party."

Mr. Meng also said that he had prepared a lot of items for Xiao Yunhai for the New Year's Eve celebration.

Several elders began to discuss the interesting things about the babies' one-year-old celebration. They were not superstitious, but they were still looking forward to it.

Shen Yu and Meng Tao just listened without saying anything. It was their son's birthday, and it was enough for them to celebrate with him. There was no need to hold another banquet.

Xiao Wangcai was kept in the space on the pretext of being sent for training, and would be released when he arrived there.

Shen Yu's team went to Hong Kong with 20 people, and they still negotiated with foreigners to purchase various industrial machinery and equipment.

Shen Yu told Meng Tao that Grandpa Xu and Grandpa Meng wanted to send a few security guards to follow her and protect her and Xiao Yunhai, but Shen Yu cleverly declined.

Shen Yu told Grandpa Xu and Old Man Meng that he had already contacted Guangzhou City to select security guards, who could speak Cantonese and were more familiar with the situation in Hong Kong City. The two old men trusted Shen Yu very much and did not insist.

So this time there won't be many eyes watching her from front and back, and she can play as she pleases, so Meng Tao is very happy.

Several cousins ​​and their wives asked Meng Tao to help them buy things. When girls like Yan Baozhi, Xia Moli, Han Dongdong and other young wives like Fu Yuting and Su Meiling heard about it, they also took out money, wrote lists and asked for help in carrying things.

Dou Nannan had other tasks this time and would not go to Hong Kong City. She also joined in the fun and asked Meng Tao to help her buy some spring and summer clothes and cosmetics.

Meng Tao agreed to all of them. She hadn't been to the mall for a long time, so she was full of enthusiasm and energy. She didn't think being a buyer was hard at all, it was just fun. Anyway, she didn't have to carry anything on her shoulders, because there were workers packing and shipping it back.

Xiao Yunhai, who was one year old, was just babbling. He was very calm on his first plane ride. He saw the clouds outside from the small window and thought he was in the cloud sea space. He shouted "Wangwang, Wangwang" twice, but found that Xiao Wangcai did not appear. He tilted his little head to look at other passengers on the plane, frowned, and seemed to be thinking about something.

After landing in Guangshi, they have to stay for one night. Shen Yu and his team still have some things to do in Guangshi.

The two of them carefully checked the weapons stored in the space, installed silencers on the hand-held weapons, and prepared Xiao Yunhai's "stand-in doll". Shen Yu knew his wife's fighting ability well, so he still had to remind her a few more times, telling her not to worry too much if she encountered hooligans, and to kill them without hesitation. If the situation was critical, she should just escape into the space.

He is busy with work and cannot be with his wife all day, so when his wife takes the child out to play alone, he must ensure the safety of both mother and child.

The next day we sailed into the port.

Little Yunhai showed great interest in riding the boat. He could already stand steadily and even walk a few steps by himself. Shen Yu and Meng Tao took him to the side of the boat. Suddenly, flying fish jumped out of the sea one after another, which scared him. Then he danced with joy and laughed.

After arriving, colleagues still lived in the office, but Shen Yu applied to live outside because Meng Tao came here for a physical examination last year and this time it was a "follow-up visit", so living outside was more convenient for coming and going.

After Shen Yu made a phone call, the couple took their child and took a taxi to Repulse Bay.

Last year, Shen Yu and Meng Tao bought a villa halfway up the mountain. They left the drawings and requirements and asked Tang Shao to help find professionals to redecorate it. When Shen Yu contacted Tang Shao, he said that everything had been done, with new decorations inside and out, and even all the furniture was available, so they could move in at any time.

The couple decided to stay here for a few days.
