"If nothing changes, will you be the same as Aunt Miao and the others?"
"Honey, if you still hold on to your dreams, you'll be even more exhausted than them. Because your dreams are too big!"
Anne lowered her head and thought for a while, but couldn't come up with anything.
"Honey, are you scared?"
"Mom, I don't know!"
“Annie, you’re still young. It’s too early to think about these things. As long as you study hard and diligently, you might even enjoy that busy life. As long as you manage your emotions well, it can be a source of enjoyment, just like your father. He doesn’t find work tiring because he enjoys it.”
Zhang Hongmei felt a pang of regret. How could she have said such things to a child? She didn't want Annie to develop any psychological trauma.
"Yes, Dad is so busy, but he enjoys it."
"Ladies, we've arrived at the mall. Shall we get ready to get out of the car?" Zeng Zhongkang quickly changed the subject.
The group was large and impressive.
Last night I told Zhang Shouyi, and that shameless guy said he didn't need any other gifts, just that I wanted to go back. Honestly, how could I not want to go back?
Women shopping should not be underestimated; they carry bags and bags of purchases.
Zhang Hongmei didn't find anything she liked, and Ningning wouldn't let Zhao Tiancheng hold him at all, and ignored Zeng Zhongkang as well, so Wang Xinyi and Zhang Hongmei had to take turns holding him.
The little one couldn't take it all in. Zhao Tiancheng specially bought a stroller, which Ningning found very novel. Sitting in the stroller made things much easier for Zhang Hongmei and Wang Xinyi. It was quite heavy; Zhang Hongmei felt her arms go numb.
Annie looked at Ningning in the stroller with envy. Did Zhang Hongmei notice this envious look? She found it very amusing.
"Uncle Zhao, where did you buy the stroller?"
"It's the shop right up ahead."
"Annie, you come with Mom to take a look. Aunt Wang, you two can go look around by yourselves first!"
"Mom, are you going to buy Ningning a stroller?"
"I just want to go and see."
There really was a larger stroller. "Annie, why don't you try sitting in it?"
The little girl understood now and excitedly got into the stroller. It felt a bit small, but Annie was extremely excited.
"Baby, don't get down, Mommy will push you."
The ladies had a great time that morning. Cheng Guangxu and Cai Peilin each bought one set of clothes and two sets of underwear, which they had already purchased. They even took the shopping bags that Zeng Zhongkang was carrying to the car.
"Mom, can we eat out?"
"Does the baby want fast food?"
"Hmm, I want to eat fried chicken."
"Uncle Zhao, why don't you and your family go home? We'll go get fast food; I'm afraid Ningning might want some."
"Hehe, alright, you young people have a good time."
They discussed things quite well. But they overlooked this shrewd little devil.
Why would Ningning leave? She kept crying and making a fuss, and finally, having no other choice, the group went straight to a fast food restaurant.
The little guy looked at Annie eating so happily and felt wronged. In the end, Wang Xinyi had no choice but to give him a small spoon to eat the egg tart.
"Mom, from now on, when we go out with Ningning, I will never eat fast food again. I feel embarrassed watching him eat like that."
Zhang Hongmei burst into laughter after hearing what Annie said.
These people have always been law-abiding and rarely eat fried chicken.
"Hongmei, I think fried chicken is pretty delicious."
Cai Peilin agreed with Cheng Guangxu's opinion and nodded. Both girls also agreed.
"Hehe, from now on, you can bring Annie here whenever she wants to eat. You all have similar tastes."
“Hongmei, you’re younger than us, why don’t you like these things? We’ve lived together for almost two years, and I’ve noticed that your eating habits are very similar to Aunt Wang’s!”
"Senior Miao, are you saying I'm old?"
"Hehe, you said it yourself, I didn't say anything."
After lunch, Miao Xinyue checked the time and said, "Uncle Zhao, Aunt Wang, Hongmei, you guys have fun. We'll go to work this afternoon!"
Annie watched them leave and asked, "Mom, do those two aunties also enjoy a busy life, just like Dad?"
"Hmm, that might be the reason."
Back home, after waking up from her afternoon nap, Zhang Hongmei began teaching Annie how to use a computer.
When Cheng Guangxu came over, he saw her and said, "Annie, how about Uncle Cheng teaches you?"
Zhang Hongmei was relaxed and happy. She sat to one side reading a book.
When Miao Xinyue and Kong Yushun returned in the evening, they said, "Hongmei and Kong Yushun said they'll come over together tomorrow night."
"Okay, I understand."
Zhang Hongmei picked up the phone and dialed McCann's number.
"Godfather, I haven't prepared any gifts, but I have a lot of letters. I'll go deliver them the day after tomorrow morning. Will that be enough time?"
"Sure. Don't worry, the flight is the day after tomorrow night."
"knew."
"Hongmei, there's an auction on Saturday night, the day after tomorrow! Shall I pick you up?"
“Annie, we’ll go home the day after tomorrow, and the day after that we’ll go together.”
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Hongmei was a little excited, thinking that she could finally go to the auction and see what it was like.
"Zhao Haozheng, there's an auction on Saturday night, would you like to come check it out?"
"I'm not going. If I see something I like but don't have the money, that would be too unpleasant. So I'd rather not see it."
Zhang Hongmei then looked at the people present and asked, "And you?"
They all shook their heads; they thought the same as Zhao Haozheng. Zeng Zhongkang was definitely going. After all, he had to be responsible for Zhang Hongmei's safety.
“Zeng Zhongkang, let’s deliver the mail on Friday morning. Annie and I will stay there.”
"Okay, I'll drop you off and come right back. I'll go over again on Saturday afternoon."
The next day, Annie continued to study computers with Cheng Guangxu and Cai Peilin.
Zhang Hongmei went to the research group and played two more small games.
The new computer Wyatt sent was much more advanced; at least the main unit's operating speed was significantly improved, and the resolution and pixel count were also much better. It was time to start working on medium-sized games.
After saving the game to drive A, the game script was decided, and Cheng Guangxiu and the other two were asked to give it a try.
The phone rang. "Zhang Hongmei, we need two movies to be huge hits."
The film company will be having a dinner party on May 31st.
"Hehe, that's great! Annie and I were thinking of going to the cinema to see it."
"Zhang Hongmei, you're so awful! You don't even know when the movie will be released?"
Zhang Hongmei said very hesitantly, "I know, but I felt there would be too many people if I went to see it on the first day."
"Since you're being so irresponsible, then you must attend the banquet. Also, I need five scripts."
The third book you wrote, along with another one written by someone else, will be released a week before the holiday ends.
