Go China! Go Wuhan!
Zhang Shouyi drank the entire cup of water in one gulp; this was definitely different from anything he'd ever experienced before. After drinking it, he felt a sense of relaxation he'd never felt before.
I didn't lie in bed, which felt especially comfortable. I just strolled around the room and felt like I had endless energy.
An hour later, I felt that I was no longer sweating, and my arms were covered in a gray, greasy substance.
He hurriedly went into the bathroom again, and this time it took him a full hour to come out.
I feel more relaxed than ever before. It's already 2:30 in the morning, but I'm not sleepy at all, and my mind is clearer than ever before.
Arriving at Zhang Hongmei's door, the lights were already off. He stood there dumbfounded for a while before laughing and going back inside.
The next morning, Zhang Hongmei practiced Tai Chi without fail. Now her posture was particularly good, and there was a certain charm to it.
The two elderly people also came over, and the three of them stood in a triangle. Zhang Shouyi stood at the doorway, looking around, and felt that this was what home truly was. His wife, the elderly—it was a picture of warmth in his heart.
At the dinner table, Zeng Zhongkang and the others finally got to eat a home-cooked meal, so they all had a great appetite.
Zhang Hongmei finally realized something was wrong. It turned out that Wang Ying had been secretly watching Zeng Zhongkang. Had she fallen for him?
That's not bad at all. Zeng Zhongkang is someone you can rely on. Wang Ying is easygoing but kind-hearted. Thinking about it this way, I feel the two of them are really a good match.
"Are the three of you going to pick up your transfer orders today? Or should we have Xiao Li bring them back?"
"Boss, the three of us will pick it up ourselves today. We'll go to town to buy some things today, and then we'll go back to our hometown tomorrow."
"You guys go buy your things first, and bring the transfer order back tonight."
"The three of you come to my study in a little while," Zhang Hongmei said, thinking she would give them the money later and then she could relax.
"Hongmei, let's set off to see Zhou Shixiong in a bit."
"Okay, Grandpa. Are you going too?"
"Yes, the three of us will go. Your dad will stay home today."
"Dad, aren't you going? I'll pick you up when we come back, and we'll go to Wangfujing to look at that apartment. Brother Zhang said our whole family should move there."
"Hehe, okay, no need to pick me up, Xiaoshun will take me there in a bit."
After dinner, Zhang Hongmei returned to her study and took out 180,000 M yuan. She told them to go to the bank to exchange it themselves.
“Hongmei, why don’t you keep the money? We’ve discussed it, and you can include us in your future investments.” Zeng Zhongkang spoke on behalf of the two, stating the result of their discussion.
"But I haven't figured out what to do yet. Should I let you know later?"
"How are you going to find us? We've gone into the research institute, and we don't even know when we'll be out."
Zhang Hongmei thought about it and agreed. "Alright, then I'll leave it here. I'll count out how much each of you is willing to take and keep track of it later."
"Three thousand each would be enough for us."
"Okay. If you run out of money, come find me."
The three nodded, took the money, and left. Cheng Guangxu walked down the familiar street, thinking, "I feel like the air in our home is sweet, and the ground beneath my feet feels solid."
Neither of them paid him any attention. He was in a state of constant excitement.
"Shall we go to the school and take a look?"
Cai Peilin shook his head. "Let's go back to school first. It's more important to go to the bank to exchange money now. We should also buy some gifts for the teachers when we get to school, right?"
"Too."
Zhang Hongmei and the others got into the car and set off for Zhou Shixiong's residence.
The gatekeeper saluted and let Zhang Shouyi pass when he saw his car.
"Brother Zhang, are you not doing any more checks now?"
"Yes, my car doesn't need to be checked."
The three got out of the car, and Li Chang'en came out to greet them, "Boss, the big boss is throwing a tantrum."
"Yes, thank you for your hard work."
"It's what I should do."
Zhang Hongmei walked beside Gu Chuanming. "Grandpa, why is it so quiet in here?"
"He needs to rest."
Following behind Li Chang'en, they entered Zhou Shixiong's room.
Zhou Shixiong spotted Zhang Hongmei immediately and excitedly shouted "Wow!" a few times. Only then did Zhang Hongmei understand what he was saying.
"Hongmei, Hongmei. You're finally back!"
Zhang Hongmei stepped forward and grasped Zhou Shixiong's raised hand.
"Uncle, I'm back. I've come to see you."
"Okay, okay." Zhou Shixiong said, with two tears still in the corners of his eyes.
"You must get better. Look, I'm back. I was even thinking of taking you out for some fun."
"Yes, yes, I'll be fine. I'm so glad you're back, I'll definitely get better."
Li Chang'en moved a chair over to Zhang Hongmei and asked her to sit down.
Gu Chuanming and Zhang Shouyi sat down on one side.
Zhang Shouyi gave Li Chang'en a wink. Then he heard his wife telling Zhou Shixiong about her experiences in the United States.
"You don't know, the food there is practically inedible, and it's amazing that they can eat it every day. Luckily, Brother Zhang sent someone to accompany me, and there are people there to take care of us. Otherwise, I don't think I could have lasted three years."
"Hehe, you little girl, how come all you ever talk about is food?"
"How can it not be about eating? Tell me, who, even a great person like you, can go without eating?"
"You're always right."
"Let me tell you, although their place looks better than ours, there are still a lot of poor people there, and it's not as humane as here. I've only heard of slums, but I've never dared to go and see them."
"It's right not to go; poverty makes people lose their ambition."
Zhou Shixiong spoke unclearly and slowly, but Zhang Hongmei did not show the slightest impatience.
“Uncle, you should go out and see the world if you have the chance. At first, I was a little scared when I saw their blond hair and blue eyes. And the black people, their most striking feature is their white teeth.”
"I'm old and useless now. If it were before, I would definitely go out with you to see the world."
"How could that be? Once you've recovered, we can travel around the country even if we don't go abroad!"
"You need to recover quickly; I'll stay with you."
"Where do you young people find the time?"
"Don't worry, I'll definitely have time to play with you. Next summer, I'll go with you to the retirement home, and we can go to the beach, okay?"
"Okay. We'll go together. We won't take your grandpa!"
"Hehe, I'd better bring my grandpa with me, otherwise I'm afraid he'll beat me up when he gets back!"
"He dares!"
"Zhou Shixiong, are you trying to put me down right in front of me?"
The atmosphere inside was particularly pleasant, and Zhou Shixiong seemed to be in really good spirits today.
But at that moment, they suddenly heard what sounded like the howl of a wild beast.
Zhang Hongmei shuddered in fright.
Zhou Shixiong closed his eyes. What a tragedy! This is a terrible injustice.
"Don't be afraid." The assistant inside immediately received Zhou Shixiong's signal, opened the door, and went out.
