"Um."

"That's good. The self-study exam papers are quite difficult. It's great that you can find time to study while working."

"I have no choice. My family was poor before and I couldn't afford to go to school. Now that I have the opportunity, I must work hard."

Shen Mingzhu was sitting in the row in front of the two of them. Listening to their conversation, she felt that the man had a good impression of Shen Hongmei, and her heart was half relieved.

Although Liang Ke'an and Shen Hongmei are of the same age, Liang Ke'an is the one who graduated from a regular university.

And from a physiological point of view, at the same age, Shen Hongmei will suffer a greater disadvantage.

It is not too late for a man to get married at the age of twenty-five or twenty-six, but if a woman is not married at the age of twenty-five or twenty-six, she will be called an old spinster.

After reaching the island in the middle of the lake, Pei Ziheng and Zhao Yun each held one of Guoguo's hands and walked in front. Shen Mingzhu and Yi Ling, who was holding her daughter, walked shoulder to shoulder and chatted as they walked. Chen Liang was responsible for taking pictures of everyone with the camera.

Liang Ke'an and Shen Hongmei walked at the back.

The group followed the island's tour route, sightseeing along the way. Whenever they came across a nice scenery or corner, they would stop to take photos as a souvenir.

In front of a celebrity statue, after Chen Liang took photos of several children, Yi Ling suddenly greeted Liang Ke'an with a smile.

"Ke'an, take a photo with Hongmei as well."

Unmarried men and women these days are still very reserved and shy. Liang Ke'an and Shen Hongmei both blushed.

With Chen Liang's pushing and pulling, the two of them finally stood in front of the statue.

Yi Ling smiled and whispered to Shen Mingzhu, "I think these two can succeed."

Shen Mingzhu also laughed, "Of course it would be great if it works."

After touring the scenery, it was time for lunch.

Shen Mingzhu made the decision and chose a restaurant with good environment and quality.

Maybe they were worried about the cost, but Chen Liang and his wife and Liang Ke'an all seemed very reserved. Especially after seeing the prices on the menu, Chen Liang even suggested changing places.

"Sister-in-law, there's a dumpling restaurant just over here, how about we eat there?"

Shen Mingzhu smiled and said, "It's rare for me to bring the kids out to play, so let's have some fun today. Just order whatever you want to eat, it's my treat."

Chen Liang and Liang Ke'an looked at each other.

"Sister-in-law, this is not nice. You've already bought the tickets for us. Let's just split the meal bill," Chen Liang suggested.

Shen Mingzhu agreed, "That's fine. Guoguo and Minmin are still young, so they won't be counted. There will be four of us here, and you three."

Only then did Chen Liang pick up the menu and start ordering.

Everyone ordered one dish, three meat dishes, three vegetable dishes and one soup. Shen Mingzhu also ordered an extra portion of egg custard for her daughter and niece.

The dishes were served one after another, and halfway through, a dish of braised pigeon was added.

Shen Mingzhu actually likes it very much. Braised pigeon was a hometown dish from her previous life.

However, the prices in this restaurant are relatively expensive. A braised pigeon costs six dollars. If you include the children, you need at least four or five. Considering the income level of Chen Liang and his friends, Shen Mingzhu did not order any.

"Waiter, you brought the wrong dish. This is not what we ordered."

The waiter in a white shirt and black trousers respectfully explained to Shen Mingzhu, "Mrs. Pei, you are Mr. Ning's friend. All the expenses for your table today will be charged to Mr. Ning's account. In addition to the dishes you ordered, our restaurant has also specially added a few signature dishes. I wish you and your friends a pleasant meal."

Shen Mingzhu suddenly realized, "The lake island was developed by the Ning family?"

"Yes, the entire island in the middle of the lake is Mr. Ning's private property."

"Is Master Ning still here?"

"Yes, I'm meeting guests on the second floor."

Hearing this, Shen Mingzhu did not go up to disturb them, but asked the waiter to convey her gratitude.

After the waiter left, Shen Mingzhu saw that Chen Liang and the others were staring at her intently, with expressions of admiration and envy.

Chen Liang and his friends were very happy. It was a rare opportunity to have such a big meal, and it was free.

Yi Ling ate while taking care of her daughter, and did not forget to ask Shen Mingzhu about the Ning family.

Women are gossipy by nature, let alone a top wealthy family like the richest Ning family.

Shen Mingzhu didn't want to say too much, but also didn't want to say nothing, so she only talked to Yi Ling about some things that were known to the outside world.

Ning Yuan was always generous, and in addition to the common dishes such as braised pigeon, honey-glazed roast goose, and boiled chicken, he also served abalone, sea cucumber and shark's fin.

Not to mention that Chen Liang and the others were flattered by the meal, even Shen Mingzhu felt a little pressured.

Abalone, sea cucumber, shark's fin and shark's fin are all included, even fruits are included, nine cases of each, a total of twenty-seven cases, which is five or six hundred.

But considering Ning Yuan's family background, this amount of money is just a drop in the bucket for him.

After eating and drinking their fill and resting for a while in the restaurant, Shen Mingzhu led the group to continue their journey - taking a pleasure boat.

This was what she had promised her daughter a long time ago, so she took the opportunity to do it today while accompanying Shen Hongmei on a blind date.

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

As for boating, forget it in this weather, as it's too hot and people might get heatstroke.

It's nice to sit on the pleasure boat, feel the breeze and enjoy the scenery.

You need to buy a ticket to take the painting boat, which costs two dollars per person.

Shen Mingzhu didn't pay because she was wiping her daughter's sweat, but Liang Ke'an was more conscious and rushed to pay.

She has no control over others, but she will not find a stingy man for Shen Hongmei.

So far, Liang Ke'an's performance has made her quite satisfied.

After touring the lake, today's trip came to an end.

On the way back, the three children were sleeping soundly in the back seat.

Shen Mingzhu was also tired and sleepy, and relied on the wind oil to keep her alert while driving.

"How do you feel about Xiao Liang?"

Shen Hongmei blushed slightly, "Very good."

"Then you should get to know him for a while and then confirm the relationship if you think it's okay. My opinion is to date him for at least a year or two, get to know him well, and then talk about marriage. Marriage is a lifelong thing, so you should be cautious and never rush into it just because of some external factors."

Shen Hongmei nodded seriously, "I'll listen to you."

After entering the city, Shen Mingzhu sent Zhao Yun home first.

After Zhou Hui and her daughter left, Zhao Dafa and his son did not move back to their old house immediately, but continued to live in Zhao Yun's new house.

The old house had been lived in for some years, so Zhao Dafa wanted to take this opportunity to renovate it and redecorate it.

"Xiaoyun, we're here, go home and sleep."

Zhao Yun woke up to Shen Mingzhu's call, and when he saw that he had arrived at his doorstep, he rubbed his eyes, said goodbye to Shen Mingzhu, and got out of the car.

At this moment, the door of Zhao's house opened, and Zhao Dafa walked out with a briefcase in one hand and car keys in the other.

Seeing Shen Mingzhu's car and her son who had just got out of the car, Zhao Dafa walked to the driver's door and greeted Shen Mingzhu.

"Sister Shen, I'm sorry to bother you today. I'll treat you to a meal another day."

When saying this, Zhao Dafa noticed Shen Hongmei in the co-pilot seat, and there was obvious surprise and amazement in his eyes.

"Hey, Hongmei is dressed so smartly today, are you going on a blind date?"

"That's right. The uncle that Aunt Hongmei is dating is young and handsome."

Before Shen Mingzhu and Shen Hongmei could speak, Zhao Yun took over the conversation. (End of this chapter)
