As soon as I entered the door, I saw Shen Mingzhu holding Xiao Guoguo and walking around the living room. The golden sunset outside the window shone into the living room, and soft circles of light lingered around the mother and daughter.
Pei Ziheng couldn't help but stop and quietly look at this warm and peaceful picture.
When Shen Mingzhu turned around, she saw her son standing in a daze at the entrance. Her beautiful face, which was as big as a palm, broke into a brilliant smile, and she called him in a gentle voice -
"Son, come in."
Pei Ziheng walked forward and raised his beautiful white face, "Mom, I'm back."
Shen Mingzhu freed one hand and rubbed his head, "I've made something delicious for you in the refrigerator, go get it yourself."
"Um."
Pei Ziheng went upstairs to change into clean clothes, washed his hands and face, and then went downstairs to the kitchen.
Pei Ziheng sat at his usual dining seat at the round table in the dining room, eating milk pudding from a white porcelain bowl with a spoon.
Shen Mingzhu sat next to him, holding her daughter in her arms, and watched him eat tenderly.
Pei Ziheng took a bite and looked at his mother and sister who were watching over him. The happiness in his heart burst out like bubbles from a bubble machine.
"Mom, did you do this?"
"Hmm, is it delicious?"
"tasty!"
Shen Mingzhu looked at him softly, "Son, I've been busy taking care of my sister recently and haven't paid much attention to you. Are you angry with me?"
Pei Ziheng was stunned and quickly shook his head, "No, Mom, you have worked hard to take care of my sister. I am already grown up and can take care of myself."
Shen Mingzhu rubbed his head lovingly, "What nonsense are you talking about? You and your sister are both my children. I should take care of you and love you equally, without favoring one over the other."
“Aaaah…”
Looking down at her noisy daughter, Shen Mingzhu smiled, "See, Guoguo said I was right."
Pei Ziheng looked at his sister, his black eyes as soft as the stars in the night sky.
After raising him for so many days, Xiao Guoguo's skin has become much whiter and tenderer than when he was just born. His eyes are no longer one big and one small. Instead, they are like two shiny black grapes, rolling around as if he is curious about everything.
Pei Ziheng continued to eat the sweet and cold pudding. It was made by his mother herself, and he had to eat it all to not let her down.
Shen Mingzhu took the opportunity to ask Pei Ziheng about his whereabouts during this period and which classmates he was playing with.
"Mom, I'm not going to play with my classmates. I'm going to work and study." Pei Ziheng swallowed the pudding and answered obediently.
Shen Mingzhu was no stranger to the term "work-study program", but when it came to her six-year-old son, it felt inexplicably awkward and funny.
She held back her laughter and pretended to ask her son what kind of part-time job he was doing to earn money for his studies.
“Selling mooncakes.”
“So how are your sales going?”
"Well enough."
Shen Mingzhu understood it well. It should be that the parents of her classmates bought a few boxes for the sake of face.
Until Pei Ziheng took out a serious sales report.
Seeing the densely packed orders, Shen Mingzhu's first reaction was whether today was April Fool's Day and her son had made a fake report to play a trick on her.
It was not until Pei Ziheng told her the identity of the customers for each order that she was forced to believe the authenticity of the sales list.
Except for a few classmates' parents who ordered dozens of boxes, the rest were orders from a company called Zhengxing Trading Company, with a total of 1,500 boxes.
Regarding Zhengxing Trading Company and Shi Yizheng, Pei Ziheng's explanation is -
Perhaps she had already accepted the fact that her son was a genius, so Shen Mingzhu was not very surprised that her son could think of and facilitate such a business, but she was pleasantly surprised nonetheless.
There are 1,500 boxes of mooncakes. Excluding the agency commission of Zhengxing Company, there is also a profit of 50 cents per box of mooncakes, which comes out to more than 700 yuan.
Although her goal has always been to raise her son into a hardworking, sensible and independent child, she has never thought about getting anything from her son.
At this moment, Shen Mingzhu couldn't tell whether she was too surprised or too moved. She just felt her nose and eyes inexplicably sour.
She freed one hand, held her son in her arms, and kissed the top of his head gently, "Son, you are awesome. Mom is very proud of you."
Pei Ziheng snuggled quietly in her arms, his delicate and pretty little face full of happiness and satisfaction.
He is also happy if he can make his mother happy.
In the evening, Pei Yang saw the report and was also surprised and delighted.
"This kid really made it happen."

Shen Mingzhu looked at him, "You knew it earlier? Why didn't you tell me?"
Pei Yang immediately put the blame on his son, "It was Ziheng who didn't let me tell you, saying he wanted to give you a surprise. Besides, I didn't expect him to really be able to do it. What if I told you and my son didn't succeed, wouldn't that disappoint you for nothing?"
Shen Mingzhu snorted, "My son is only six years old. Regardless of whether this will work or not, the fact that he has this idea has already surpassed other children."
Pei Yang grinned, "Of course not, wife, our son is so outstanding, it's all thanks to you."
Although Shen Mingzhu was happy, she did not get carried away by the man's flattery.
Her education of Pei Ziheng focused on character building, but his intelligence and talent were innate.
After being happy, Pei Yang took out another surprise.
"so much?"
Looking at the overall mooncake sales of the food factory during this period, Shen Mingzhu was overjoyed.
"Old Zhu has been driving for so many years, he knows a lot of bosses, and he has helped us sell a lot of mooncakes. I plan to give him a commission of 20 cents per box."
Shen Mingzhu nodded, "You decide on this."
Although sales increased, production could not keep up. After discussing it, the couple decided to hire ten more female workers.
Before going to bed, Shen Mingzhu asked Pei Yang to find some fruit seedlings and plant them in the yard when he had time. When his daughter grew up a little, the two children could pick fruits in their own yard.
Pei Yang was very proactive and went to the nursery market the next day to buy several high-quality fruit seedlings.
There are peaches, apples, cherries, plums, dates and pears. From spring to autumn, there are fresh fruits to eat in three seasons of the year.
Pei Yang put down the fruit seedlings, looked at his daughter and went to the factory. Shen Mingzhu brought her son and Sister Yu, and the three of them planted the fruit seedlings in every corner of the yard.
After planting the fruit seedlings and taking a break, Shen Mingzhu took a ruler and built a new height wall next to the stairs in the living room.
And measured the height of both son and daughter.
Xiao Guoguo is 45 centimeters tall, and Pei Ziheng has grown a little taller and is already 1.3 meters tall.
When Shen Mingzhu woke up from a nap in the afternoon, she was a little surprised to find Qin Jinlian had come to her house.
It was the autumn harvest season, and people in the countryside should be busy at this time, but he came to the city to find her. Something must have happened.
Seeing that she had woken up, Qin Jinlian asked to see her granddaughter, but Shen Mingzhu replied directly: "Little Guoguo is still sleeping."
Hearing that her granddaughter was sleeping, Qin Jinlian did not insist, but instead coaxed Ai Ai into revealing her purpose. (End of this chapter)
