Pei Ziheng's fair and delicate little face turned red from Shen Mingzhu's kisses, and joy and happiness were revealed in his dark eyes.

He knew that his mother's biggest wish was to buy a big house.

Now, his mother's wish has come true and he is very happy for her.

Shen Mingzhu shook her finger and said, "It's not that mom bought another house, it's that mom bought a house for you."

"My dear son, this house is your birthday gift from your mother. Do you like it?"

Pei Ziheng was completely stunned, his little face full of disbelief.

His mother bought him a house? Pei Ziheng's reaction was within Shen Mingzhu's expectations. She was in a very good mood and rubbed his pink face. "Come on, put on your coat, I'll take you to see your birthday present."

Today is Saturday and there is no school.

While Pei Ziheng went upstairs to put on his coat, Shen Mingzhu also found a small cotton jacket and cotton shoes for her daughter to wear when going out.

With the arrival of spring, the temperature has gradually warmed up, and there is new green everywhere. It is a good time to enjoy the spring.

Shen Mingzhu planned to take her two children, and call Zhao Yun's siblings, as well as Pei Wenping and her son, to go on an outing to celebrate her son's birthday.

In order to facilitate traveling, Shen Mingzhu specially rented a van.

Put a pot, a gas stove, clean water, sliced ​​meat and vegetables in the trunk of the car, and cook hot pot in the wild at noon.

By the time Pei Ziheng had put on his clothes, Zhao Yun and Liang Xiaowen arrived.

What Shen Mingzhu didn't expect was that Zhou Hui also came along.

In fact, Shen Mingzhu only wanted to take Zhao Yun with her, and didn't even want to take Liang Xiaowen with her.

But Liang Xiaowen is Zhao Dafa's stepdaughter after all, and she always follows Zhao Yun around. Even if she doesn't call her, Liang Xiaowen will still follow her, so it's better to call her openly.

As soon as she entered the room, Zhou Hui joked with Shen Mingzhu with a smile: "I came uninvited and went on an outing with you guys. Do you mind?"

Having said that, Shen Mingzhu naturally greeted him with a smile.

"Sister Zhou, you're joking. It will be more lively with more people. I thought you were at work today, so I didn't call you."

"Today is my day off."

"Okay then, we'll set off once my eldest sister arrives."

Shen Mingzhu was originally planning to take Pei Ziheng to see the newly bought house, but Zhou Hui came. She didn't want to take Zhou Hui and her daughter to see the newly bought house together, but it was not convenient to leave Zhou Hui and her daughter alone at home, so she simply didn't go.

After sitting for a while, Pei Wenping brought the twins in.

As soon as she entered the door, before Shen Mingzhu had time to inform Pei Wenping about the house, Chen Xiaochao started yelling.

"Aunt, when we came here, we saw the big house you bought for Ziheng. It's so beautiful. When my dad makes a lot of money in the future, I will ask him to buy one for us too!"

Zhou Hui immediately asked, "Mingzhu, did you buy a house for your Ziheng? What house? Where is it?"

At this point, Shen Mingzhu had no choice but to take the group to see the newly purchased house.

"The original owner hasn't moved out yet, so let's just stand outside and watch. When the house is vacated, I'll take you inside for a tour."

Zhou Hui looked at the house, her face showing no sign of concealing her shock and envy.

Perhaps it was due to woman's nature, after Zhou Hui married into the Zhao family, she always liked to compete secretly with Shen Mingzhu, who was also her stepmother, intentionally or unintentionally.

She always thought that she married better than Shen Mingzhu.

Although they lived on the same street, the Zhao family was much stronger than the Pei family in terms of wealth, status, connections, etc.

Zhao Dafa can earn tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of yuan from any project.

She married Zhao Dafa, who bought her a motorcycle, while Shen Mingzhu could only ride a bicycle.

All of the above made her feel extremely superior in front of Shen Mingzhu.

But the house in front of her shattered her sense of superiority.

"Mingzhu, how much did you spend on this house?"

"A little over ten thousand."

She looked at Shen Mingzhu's beautiful and fair face with an indescribably complicated look in her eyes.

"You are really generous. You bought a house worth more than 10,000 yuan without blinking an eye. I really didn't realize that your family is so financially strong."

This was a bit sour, Shen Mingzhu pretended to sigh, "Actually, I was just pretending to be rich. I have used up all my savings and borrowed a lot from others, but I still have a long way to go."

"Fortunately, the landlord won't move out until next month, so I still have time to slowly raise the money."

Zhou Hui stopped talking immediately.

Maybe she was afraid that Shen Mingzhu would ask her to borrow money.

…

After looking at the house, Shen Mingzhu drove a van and took a group of people to go on an outing.

Traffic control is not strict in this era. As long as there is no accident, no traffic police will check whether you have a driver's license.

Zhou Hui and Pei Wenping were both very curious about the fact that Shen Mingzhu could drive. Shen Mingzhu made the excuse that she learned it when she went out to play with Zhong Qing before.

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

The outing location is Sun Moon Lake.

As early as the first time she came to the Ning family, she had decided to bring the children over to play when she had time.

Shen Mingzhu chose a flat place that was neither too close nor too far from the lake, parked the car, and built a sunshade using thin linen ropes and waterproof cloth against the trees in the woods. She put out a folding table and took out various snacks and fruits that she had prepared at home.

Although the scenery is beautiful, it is close to the water and there are still certain risks.

Shen Mingzhu asked Zhou Hui to look after Zhao Yun and the children to prevent them from falling into the water or running away and getting lost.

She and Pei Wenping took care of Xiao Guoguo while lighting the stove.

Pei Ziheng spread a foam moisture-proof mat in a sunny place and let Xiao Guoguo sit on it to play. He watched by the side, holding half an apple in his hand for Xiao Guoguo to grind his teeth on.

Xiao Guoguo started to grow teeth last month, and now two small milk teeth as big as rice grains have grown on his pink lower gums.

"Guoguo, are apples delicious?"

“Ah~”

"Call me brother, and I'll give you food if you call me brother."

"Oh!"

Seeing the apple flesh being lifted up, Xiao Guoguo was so anxious that he danced with joy and almost couldn't stand up.

"Call me brother."

"ah!"

Seeing that Xiao Guoguo was about to cry with her mouth pursed, Pei Ziheng lowered his head, his dark eyes sparkling under the sunlight shining through his bright eyebrows.

The tone was doting but also a little paranoid, "Call me brother and I'll give you the apple."

Xiao Guoguo was probably annoyed, and raised her little paw and slapped Pei Ziheng on the face.

Pei Ziheng had a cold and pale complexion, and the slap made a red spot on his left cheek.

Shen Mingzhu hurried over and wanted to say a few words to comfort her son, but she saw her son pinching his daughter's "rebellious" little paws and putting them to his mouth and blowing gently.

"Did it hurt?"

Shen Mingzhu: Who hit who? Xiao Guoguo naturally didn't realize that she had just done something bad, and she only wanted to grab the apple in Pei Ziheng's hand.

Pei Ziheng didn't tease her this time. He returned the apple to her with a smile on his face.

After getting the apple back as he wished, Xiao Guoguo opened his mouth and tried to bite it, but he couldn't bite it hard. He could only use his baby teeth to grind it slowly and suck the juice.

Shen Mingzhu squatted in front of the brother and sister and gently scolded her daughter: "Guoguo, how could you hit your brother? If you do it again next time, I will spank your little butt, do you hear me?"

"Mom, please don't scold Guoguo."
