After passing Xingyang County, he went to the small warehouse of the winery to take away the thousands of kilograms of liquor that Zhang Fu had stored there, and then he kept on going. When he felt sleepy, he went into the space to take a nap, and then continued to run when he woke up, and arrived at the provincial capital at nine in the morning.

Go directly to the provincial capital railway station to pick up the goods.

A whole train car of various specialty goods purchased by Province Y was sent to Province D and unloaded in the warehouse at the railway station freight yard.

The two young men were very nice. They did things efficiently and without asking too many questions. As a reward, Meng Tao stuffed a bag into each of them, which contained a lot of food and daily necessities. This was quite economical, but the key was that they didn't want the money or tickets.

I took the delivery note to go through the formalities to pick up the goods, avoiding the crowded space, and then hurried to the airport and took the noon flight back to Beijing.

She missed her son so much that she almost went crazy. She didn't leave him when he was weaned, but this time she left him for so many days for "business". She wondered if the baby would be angry or cry? She imagined that her son might cry like a cat if he couldn't find his mother. Meng Tao felt distressed and her nose was sore.

I kept saying to myself, "Baby, don't cry, it's all my fault, I'm on my way home!"

Meng Tao blamed herself and missed her husband. She wondered what he was doing now. She hoped everything would go well and he would come home soon.

Tomorrow is the full moon banquet for the son of one of my husband’s friends, and she did not miss the wedding banquet.

Late in the evening, Meng Tao returned home. Aunt Gao and Aunt Lin told her that her baby and grandparents were at Xu's house. They went there in the morning these days and came back after dinner.

Aunt Gao smiled and said, "Our little Yunhai understands it. No matter where we go, no matter how good the place is, he will not stay and will go home at night. When he comes back, he will rush to his parents' room to see if they are back. If they are not back, he will not cry. He will lie on the bed and play for a while. He will also hug the photo of his parents on the table and kiss it, and then go back to the upper room with his grandparents to rest.

The next day, I woke up and went to check on the room again, thinking that my parents might come back in the middle of the night..."

Meng Tao was about to cry when she heard this. She dropped her luggage and went to Xu's house to pick up her son.

The Xu family was having dinner. When they saw Meng Tao come in, their cousin and sister-in-law greeted her first. Grandma Xu hurriedly called Aunt Ma to bring a set of bowls and chopsticks, and asked the kitchen to quickly prepare two more dishes.

Little Yunhai was sitting in his own dining chair, eating seriously. When he heard "Taotao is back", he immediately looked up, his eyes wide open and shining like stars. When he saw Meng Tao, his eyes curved into crescents, and he opened his hands and shouted, "Mom, mom!"

Meng Tao only had her son in her eyes. She ran over, picked up her son, called him good boy, and kissed his forehead and cheeks non-stop.

Little Yunhai was smiling at first, but when he was in his mother's arms and smelled his mother's scent, he started crying loudly.

Xu Zhen hurriedly patted her grandson's back. There were still grains of rice in his mouth and she was afraid that he might choke.

Meng Tao also put her face close to her son's face and coaxed him: "Don't cry, don't cry... My dear little bunny, mommy is back, mommy is back!"

When they heard Xiao Yunhai being compared to a little rabbit, everyone in the room laughed.

Little Yunhai liked it very much, hugged his mother's neck tightly, and stopped crying.

Grandpa Xu coughed and said, "A little tiger or a little lion, a little calf or a little horse would also be fine, why a little rabbit?"

Meng Tao: "Grandpa, this is a nursery rhyme. The little rabbit is the most obedient and the cutest."

Xu Mingni: "Grandpa, are you overthinking this?"

"Hey, old woman, look at this girl!" Grandpa Xu glared.

Grandma Xu raised her hand and gestured to Xu Mingni: "You're eating while your mouth is still busy, you deserve a beating!"

Little Yunhai refused to leave his mother's arms, so Meng Tao held him and sat at the table. She fed her son and then ate herself.

After dinner, Gu Yingying, Xu Yingshuang and Xu Mingni surrounded Meng Tao and her son and asked her where she had been traveling.

Gu Yingying pushed her and said, "Don't talk nonsense. Who dislikes you?"

"You keep asking me to go on blind dates every day. If that's not disgust, what is that?"

Meng Tao looked at the men gathered at the tea table. Knowing that her eldest cousin and eldest cousin had not told anyone about her whereabouts, she smiled and said, "I'm doing business with someone in my hometown, privately, on the black market, you know. I didn't have enough time to go back last time, and some problems were not resolved, so I went back again this time... Second cousin, I really didn't know you were free. I apologize to you. I will definitely let you know next time I go out."

"That's more like it. So, what kind of business do you do? Is it profitable?"

"Who would do risky things if they don't make money? I don't know how to explain it specifically, but it's just selling goods. It opens up the supply and demand channels, and the north and south can exchange what they have and what they don't have, and do a little bit of everything."

“It sounds impressive.”

"Not impressive. Only an uneducated person like me would do this. My second cousin, third cousin, and eldest cousin's wife are all well-educated celebrities. You don't need to endure this hardship."

"Don't give me that crap! Just tell me what good stuff you got this time, mugwort rice cake?"

"No, what season is it now? Wild vegetables are not tasty when they are old."

Meng Tao looked at Gu Yingying and said, "I just checked in some seasonal fruits. My cousin's wife might like them."

"What?" Gu Yingying was looking forward to it.

"Yangberry, plum, loquat."

"Ah, Yangmei? That's great, I love it so much!"

When Xu Yingshuang and Xu Mingni heard about Yangmei, they immediately perked up: "We like it too! This is hard to find. Where can I get it?"

"At my house, I was in a hurry to pick up my son and didn't have time to take it."

"Hey……"

The aunts and sisters-in-law had already been aroused by their greed and could not wait any longer, so they immediately went straight to the Shen residence on the pretext of sending their uncle, aunt, and Taotao's mother and son home.

Meng Tao airlifted two baskets of fruit, sealed in wooden crates. There was bound to be some damage, so she replaced the fruit in the space when she got off the plane.

So when Gu Yingying and the others ate the fruit, it still felt as fresh as if it had just been picked from the tree. The group of people slurped the fruit and couldn't get enough of it, while praising and thanking Meng Tao for bringing back such delicious fruit.

The pineapples and peaches would have to be kept for some time, and as for other specialties such as tea and ham, Meng Tao made the excuse that they would have to wait for about a week and distribute them to relatives once they were shipped by train.

Mom finally came home, and little Yunhai was so happy. Little Wangcai also stayed around Meng Tao all night. Meng Tao had to comfort them well. She must sleep in the same room with the two little ones tonight.

Xu Zhen came to join in the fun and wrote a note to Meng Tao, saying that she was used to her grandson sleeping in her bed and she couldn't sleep without him. Anyway, Shen Yu was not at home, so she wanted to sleep with her daughter-in-law and grandson!

Meng Tao was at a loss whether to laugh or cry: It was not a good sign that the mother-in-law wanted to sleep with her daughter-in-law all the time.

She could still fight back if Shen Yu complained, but if her father-in-law came and blamed her for stealing his wife, she would have no way to defend herself.

She quickly brought out the gifts, a box of top-quality jade pendants, pearl necklaces, bracelets, and ear studs that she had picked out from the black market at the border of Province Y for her parents-in-law, stuffed them into her mother-in-law's arms, coaxed her to take them back and admire them with her father-in-law, then quickly closed and bolted the door.
