Passing by the county town, they visited Zhang's father and mother. Xiao Yunhai received another big red envelope, and Zhang's father also stuffed a large cloth bag into the car. Inside were several sets of clothes made by Zhang's mother for Xiao Yunhai, as well as bedding for their family. Working in a garment factory made it convenient for her to do these things, and she insisted that the things she made with her heart were sturdy and durable, and could not compare to those sold.

As for the styles, they were all recommended to her by Meng Tao in the past. Even her daughter-in-law Yu Li and her sisters, these city girls, like them. There is no such thing as old-fashioned.

As expected, Xiao Wangcai was wildly stroked by Zhang Di, who hugged and embraced him, almost wanting to kiss him. Xiao Wangcai looked like he had lost all hope in life, and his eyes were full of disgust, but since they were old acquaintances and die-hard fans, he had no choice but to tolerate him.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Di asked to follow the car to his brother's home in Mengzhou. Meng Zhehan asked him to look in the car: "There are too many things, there is no room."

Zhang Di: "I will sit in Xiao Wangcai's seat, and I will hold Xiao Wangcai in my arms."

Everyone laughed, it turned out that he was reluctant to part with Xiao Wangcai.

"Xiao Wangcai has grown so big. Do you know how heavy it is? You can't hold it."

"I can do it. I can hold it!"

Zhang Di, who was as stubborn as a bull, was finally beaten twice by Zhang's father. Meng Tao also promised to send him photos of Zhang Xiaowangcai in the future. Zhang Di then stopped making trouble and chased the car, shouting:

"Goodbye, Xiao Wangcai! Goodbye, Sister Taohua! Goodbye, Xiao Yunhai, Brother Shen, Brother Meng, that brother... Goodbye!"

Zhang Guoqing punched him: "You are the one, I am your elder brother!"

At noon, they arrived at Mengzhou City and met Zhang Fu and his wife. Meng Tao gave them the gifts she brought from the capital and asked Yu Li to take one back to her parents. Zhang Fu's business had expanded to Mengzhou and he received a lot of help from Yu Li's father.

Everyone went to the restaurant to have lunch. Zhang Fu knew that Meng Tao and his friends would not stay in Mengzhou and had to rush back to the provincial capital that day, so he talked to Meng Tao alone and told her the important points about the current business situation. Meng Tao also gave him some suggestions. Zhang Fu went back and moved a large suitcase to Meng Tao. In addition to cash, there were also some antique porcelains in it.

The cash was Meng Tao’s share of the business, and the antique porcelain was naturally collected by Zhang Fu.

While this guy was engaging in "speculation and profiteering", he also did not forget to collect waste everywhere. He was addicted to being a "junk king" and had learned a lot. He would keep the gold, silver and jade for himself when he received them, but he did not understand porcelain and was too lazy to learn about it. Mainly, he did not have the time to learn about it at the moment. He thought porcelain was fragile and difficult to keep, so he gave them all to Meng Tao.

Meng Tao naturally didn't want it for nothing. He relied on his own judgment and asked Shen Yu and Meng Zhehan to appraise it together, and then paid Zhang Fu according to the current price.

Zhang Fu also told Meng Tao that from last year to this year, Ma Fengnian had delivered two large batches of goods, including various mountain products, first spring tea leaves and medicinal materials, all of which were stored in the warehouse of the food factory in the suburbs. People had to be called in time to transport them away, as they could not be kept for too long. The food factory was not far from the river and might be affected by moisture during the rainy season.

Meng Tao told him not to worry and she would call and arrange for someone to come and move the things.

Afterwards, everyone went to Zuo Xingzi Lane to take a look. The gate and courtyard wall of No. 9 Courtyard were covered with red flowers and green leaves, full of spring. The vines that had been pruned before had climbed up again, waving in the wind under the bright spring sunshine, which was very pleasing to the eye.

Shen Yu took the key and opened the door. The whole yard was full of colorful flowers and the air was filled with the fragrance of flowers.

Xu Zhen liked this exquisite courtyard with flourishing flowers and trees very much. She was also very interested in the local customs and practices of the Mengzhou area. She used sign language with Meng Tao and expressed her wish to live here for a while if she had the chance in the future.

Meng Tao said: "When dad has a long vacation, you can come together."

Xu Zhen smiled and nodded.

Xiao Wangcai revisited the old place and followed Xu Zhen into the house, walking around the rooms and inspecting the places where he had been before.

Zhang Guoqing habitually picked up a bamboo broom to sweep the fallen leaves. He and Zhou Cuiling had also lived in this courtyard. The flowers and plants in the courtyard were really beautiful, but there were also fallen leaves and petals falling.

Meng Zhehan took Xiao Yunhai to wander among the flowers, squatting down from time to time to smell their fragrance. Xiao Yunhai followed suit, grabbing the branches and sniffing them, and recommended the flowers he thought were fragrant to his uncle.

Shen Yu turned his head to take a look, then came closer, bit Meng Tao's ear and said, "We will sleep together tonight!"

Meng Tao: “…”

I glared at him: What kind of jumping thoughts are these? I said one thing and you said another, it's totally irrelevant!

Shen Yu smiled and pinched his young wife's chin: "You are a married person. Is it appropriate for you to leave your husband alone for a few nights? You should refuse your stepmother. She just wants to be close to your son. Just give your son to her."

"You just know how to blame me, but you still run away in disgrace! Why don't you refuse? Leave the matter of offending your mother to me, right?"

"I'm a man, so it's not easy to argue with her. You can just say it directly. If it were me and my dad, you see what I would do? Be good, when we get to the provincial capital tonight, be smart and come to your husband."

Meng Tao snorted: "It's a must tonight. Even if you don't say it, we have to be together."

Shen Yu's dark eyes sparkled: "Okay, my dear..."

"Heh! Listen to me first, don't be too happy too soon."

"you say."

Meng Tao filled the food factory warehouse with goods, but there were too many people and it was not convenient to store the goods directly into the space in broad daylight. Meng Zhehan had to go back to work tomorrow morning, and it didn't seem a good idea to stay in Mengzhou for one night. Therefore, Meng Tao planned to return to the provincial capital first, and then return overnight to receive the goods.

The method is a bit stupid, and running around will definitely make you tired, but at least it won't arouse suspicion.

Shen Yu nodded after listening: "This is safer. There are fewer cars on the road at night, and we are driving our own car. The new car has good performance and can be used at the fastest speed, which can shorten the time by half."

"Thank you for your hard work, husband."

"As long as I'm with my wife, I'm happy no matter what. Come on, give me a reward first? Quick, Xiao Wangcai is coming over!"

“…”

At two o'clock in the afternoon, after saying goodbye to Zhang Fu and Yu Li, the group got on the car and continued their journey, returning to the provincial capital at seven o'clock in the evening.

We had dinner in the small town we passed through, and all we needed to do was take a hot shower and rest. We were very tired after a whole day of driving.

Zhang Guoqing said goodbye to Meng Tao and Shen Yu and returned to his dormitory.

Shen Yu's family of four still live in Meng Zhehan's house. He moved to a new house with three bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen and a bathroom, which is just enough for everyone. They could have stayed in a guesthouse, but Meng Zhehan wanted to be closer to his eldest nephew and didn't let them stay in the guesthouse.

When he returned to the family compound, the guard told Meng Zhehan that his younger sister and cousin had arrived yesterday and were now staying in the guesthouse. He asked Meng Zhehan to pick them up when he returned.

Meng Zhehan was stunned for a moment and didn't ask which sister or cousin it was. He roughly guessed that he didn't want to bother with them for the time being. His eldest nephew was so sleepy that he was about to fall asleep, so he went home to settle the little guy first.
