Happy New Year everyone! Wishing everyone good fortune and prosperity! Thank you all for your support in 2019! 2020 will be even more wonderful!
Zhang Hongmei forced a smile and turned around, looking at Ningning who was wailing. "Didn't you say you didn't want to see me? That you were ignoring me?"
The little guy quickly opened his arms, wanting Zhang Hongmei to hug him.
Annie watched her mother from the side, feeling that she was probably lying to Ningning, but then again, it didn't seem like she was.
The little guy clung to Zhang Hongmei's neck and wouldn't let go. Even when Annie tried to coax him with toys, she couldn't get him off Zhang Hongmei.
When Zhao Tiancheng returned, he lamented that he had raised this son for nothing.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it was time for the exam.
Zhang Hongmei was already familiar with the exams for her third year. She felt pretty good about it, and thought she should at least pass them all.
That evening, I went to pick up Anne. Elizabeth seemed to be adapting well to life with the McCanns; she looked particularly good, and it seemed that Huang Meihua and Elizabeth were getting along very well.
After dinner, Beth called Zhang Hongmei to the study. "Hongmei, I'm planning to send someone to your country. Please prepare anything you want to bring back. They'll be leaving in about three days."
"Okay, I'm just bringing some gifts for my family. Any news from over there?"
"Okay, take a look at the letter."
"Hehe, this is great, go get the money and come back."
"No, I don't plan to bring the money back. Instead, I will take the money over there. The steel plant will be built, and the car plant will be developed in cooperation with your country."
"Hehe, Godfather, you have excellent taste."
"Of course. Otherwise, why would I have chosen you as my daughter?"
"What about the other families in the Roy family?"
"They all sent messages back, and this time they also sent people over. As for whether they share the same idea as me, I don't know."
"Okay, I'll prepare the gift tomorrow and send it over tonight."
Carlos also came in, and when he saw the smiling woman, he hesitated for a moment.
"Hongmei, do you want to go back and take a look?"
Zhang Hongmei shook her head. "I'm afraid if I go back, I won't want to come back. I'd rather hold on for another year."
Beth laughed. "Why don't you go back and take a look?"
Zhang Hongmei just smiled and didn't say anything. She was certain that once she set foot on this land, she would never come back.
I also discussed the current situation of the company with Carlos.
Zhang Hongmei didn't care much about these things; she was content as long as she got her share of the money. Wyatt and his colleague were both successful businessmen, and their company's projects were all cutting-edge products, so there was no possibility of failure.
"Hongmei, when will the ladies' club be able to open?"
"I'm planning to open in December, Godfather. Do you know someone named Y?"
"Not very familiar with it? What's wrong?"
“I know they have yoga there, so I’d like to invite two people; the ladies’ club’s fitness program is planning to open this.”
"Never mind that, I'll ask around, we should be able to find it."
"Okay, please help me out. There's still no news from the service company. If it doesn't work, I'll bring someone from China to teach Tai Chi."
"I'll ask for you tomorrow."
"Godfather, Carlos, I'm going back."
"How about we go on a holiday? To the beach?"
Zhang Hongmei shook her head. "I'd rather not. I don't even have the energy to go out and have fun right now. I'm planning to teach Annie how to use computers."
Beth frowned. "Let's go on a family trip during the last week of this holiday. As for where you want to go, you and Annie can discuss it."
Unable to refuse the old man, he immediately nodded, "Okay, I'll ask Annie what she thinks."
After Zhang Hongmei left the study, she chatted with Huang Meihua for a while, while Elizabeth sat on the side with a smile, listening and occasionally chiming in.
"Mom, I've finished packing."
Zhang Hongmei stood up and took Anne's hand. "Godmother, Elizabeth, we're going back now. By the way, Godfather said the whole family is going on vacation during the holidays. Godmother, is there anywhere you'd like to go?"
"Hehe, I have no objection. What about you, Elizabeth?"
"I have no objection either, I'm fine with going anywhere."
"Okay, Annie and I will go back and discuss it. The time is the last week of the holiday."
Zeng Zhongkang helped Annie carry her luggage. The three of them got into the car and went home.
The next morning, after Zhang Hongmei finished her Tai Chi practice, she woke Annie up, saying, "Baby, wake up."
"Mom, why so early?"
"It's getting late. Let's go shopping in a bit and buy gifts for your maternal grandfather and godfather."
At the dinner table, Zhang Hongmei put down her cutlery. "Senior Miao, when you go to the company later, tell Kong Yushun and the others that some people are returning to China the day after tomorrow, and they can write letters home. As for their belongings, it's best not to bring them. Not many people are going back, and they'll have to transfer flights, which is too much trouble."
"Hehe, I can write home now."
In contrast to Miao Xinyue's excitement, Zhao Yuetong showed no reaction. She wouldn't write home; she'd pretend they didn't exist. If they weren't unreasonable when she returned, giving her some money wouldn't be a problem. If things remained the same, she'd simply pretend she had no family.
"Hongmei, are you going shopping?" Cheng Guangxu put down his cutlery, feeling he should go out with her.
"Well, I'll just go take a look. I don't plan to bring too many gifts for my family."
"I'll go too."
"I'm going too!" Cai Peilin had been wanting to go out for a while; she needed to buy some clothes.
"Aunt Wang, why don't you take Ningning with you? The temperature outside is just right."
"Okay, I haven't been out for over a year either. It's just that this brat probably won't be able to stay at home anymore."
"Honey, I'll come with you. The textile factory isn't too busy right now."
"Okay. Ningning is in your hands now."
Miao Xinyue said with a long face, "You guys can go have fun, but the three of us have to go to work?"
"Why don't you two take a day off? It's time to buy clothes for the new season."
Miao Xinyue stared longingly at Zhao Haozheng.
"Ahem! This is not my responsibility, you can ask for leave yourselves."
"Mom and Dad, Hongmei, you two go shopping. I don't have time today; I have a meeting at 9:30 this morning. I can't miss it!"
Miao Xinyue jumped up and quickly called to ask for leave.
The group set off in three cars at the same time, which could be considered a relaxing trip.
"Mom, Aunt Miao and Aunt Zhao are both very happy, but isn't this just going shopping?"
"Hehe, that's because your two aunts are either at school or at work, they don't have time to play, so even just going shopping makes them feel very happy."
"Mom, aren't they so pitiful?"
“Annie, there are so many more pitiful people in the world. How can they be considered pitiful? They are busy because they want to change their lives and realize their value through their own efforts.”
But people have a natural tendency to be lazy, and of course they need to relax. Because of their long hours of intense study and work, suddenly being able to play as they please is naturally a happy thing.
"Mom, will I be like this in the future?"
"Hehe, that depends on whether your dreams will change in the future, darling?"
