After learning that she had to pay for the ambulance ride, she got out of the car and ran away despite the medical staff's attempts to stop her.

Halfway through the run, Shen Baolan saw a public telephone and subconsciously turned around and called Focheng.

After the call was connected, Shen Baolan remembered that it was daytime and was about to hang up, but someone picked up the phone.

"Who are you looking for? " "Zhou Shuhuan from 504."

Shen Baolan didn't have much hope. Zhou Shuhuan should be at work at this time.

Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Zhou Shuhuan's voice on the other end of the phone, "Hello?"

Shen Baolan was overjoyed, "Shuhuan, it's me!"

"Well, what's up?"

Shen Baolan was extremely excited. Zhou Shuhuan had only called home once in all the time he had been in Focheng.

She did call Focheng every now and then, but she never got through to Zhou Shuhuan.

"Shuhuan, how are you doing over there? Did you complete the business?"

Zhou Shuhuan didn't answer her directly, "How's your family? Are your parents in good health?"

Shen Baolan answered truthfully, and then she remembered the main thing, "Shuhuan, let me tell you, Shen Mingzhu and Pei Yang are really shameless!"

"What happened to them?"

"Pei Yang opened a pager store, and the business is booming, but this store should have been opened by you, and it was Shen Mingzhu who stole your opportunity!"

Zhou Shuhuan pinched his eyebrows and didn't take Shen Baolan's words to heart. He just thought that Shen Baolan's old problem had come back and she couldn't bear to see Shen Mingzhu doing well.

"If nothing else, I'll hang up now."

After saying that, he hung up the phone without waiting for Shen Baolan to speak.

Shen Mingzhu hurriedly called back, wanting to ask Zhou Shuhuan whether he had completed the deal, but the line was busy every time she called twice, so she had to give up.

…

Zhou Shuhuan returned to the dormitory, picked up the cigarette under the pillow and lit it, leaning against the steel bed, puffing away at the smoke, revealing a deep sense of loneliness and frustration.

After he entered the electronics factory, he worked during the day and secretly hid in the dormitory at night to study and disassemble game consoles when his coworkers went out to play.

Although there is some progress, it is still a long way from starting my own business.

Pei Yang’s shop has already opened.

It was not the home appliance originally agreed upon, but a pager.

Like game consoles, pagers will also be a hot topic in the next few years and will definitely make huge profits.

He knew all this because of his dream, but Pei Yang didn't know his dream and was still able to accurately choose the most profitable industry.

Such luck and ability could not help but make him envious.

…

Pei Wenping took advantage of her free time at noon to come to the store to show her support for Pei Yang, and also picked up a pager.

After completing the network registration and number selection process, Pei Wenping took out her wallet.

"Calculate how much it is."

"It's free."

Pei Wenping glared at me, "Stop talking nonsense to me, hurry up, I have to go back to the factory to work."

Pei Yang said, "Really, sister, just consider this a gift from my uncle and I."

Pei Ke also persuaded Pei Wenping to accept it.

Pei Wenping was too lazy to talk nonsense and just threw down 2,500 yuan, "That's all I have. If it's not enough, you can pay for it."

After saying that, he left with the pager.

After Pei Wenping left, Pei Yang told Shen Mingzhu the whole story.

Chen Yi had already paid for Pei Wenping's pager, but he lied and said it was a free gift because he was afraid Pei Wenping would not accept it.

Shen Mingzhu only had one thing to say about this, "If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place."

"Let's not talk about him anymore."

Pei Yang magically took out a pure silver hairpin from his pocket, the head of which was inlaid with a white jade magnolia bud.

"Happy birthday, wife."

Today is Shen Mingzhu's 25th birthday.

After Guoguo turned one year old, Shen Mingzhu started growing her hair long, which now reaches her waist.

It is black and shiny, with a soft luster, just like the finest black satin.

Shen Mingzhu liked the style of the hairpin, but she said, "Didn't you give me a gift?"

"In ancient times, women would wear hairpins when they reached the age of 15. When I saw this hairpin, I thought, if you were born in ancient times, you would look very beautiful if you used it to tie your hair."

"You have such a sweet mouth, are you wearing sugar?"

Pei Yang bent down and whispered in her ear: "You can try it when you get home in the evening."

Although there were not many customers in the store at this time, Pei Ke and the sales staff were still there. Several pairs of eyes were looking at the two of them jokingly, and Shen Mingzhu couldn't help but feel her ears getting hot.

"I'm leaving."

"I send you."

"Mind your own business. I can go on my own."

After getting in the car, Shen Mingzhu was not in a hurry to start the car. Instead, she used her fingers to straighten her hair, and then used the hairpin given by the man to tie a bun at the back of her head.

After tying the knot, Shen Mingzhu looked left and right in the rearview mirror, then started the car and left in a very good mood.

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

After finishing work and returning home, several cold dishes were already on the table and aromas wafted from the kitchen.

Shen Mingzhu changed her shoes and came to the kitchen door.

Sister Yu was busy at work, and when she saw her, she smiled and greeted her, "Madam is back."

"Sister Yu, thank you for your hard work today."

"Why bother? It's your birthday, so it's okay for me to do a little more."

Shen Mingzhu said nothing more and went to the second floor.

As soon as I turned the stairs, I saw the brother and sister standing at the stairs, each holding gifts in their hands.

"Happy birthday, Mom. May you stay forever young and beautiful."

Pei Ziheng spoke first, and when he finished, Guoguo also said in a baby voice: "Happy birthday, Mom. Mmm, stay young forever."

Because I am still young, my articulation is not very fluent yet.

Shen Mingzhu walked up the stairs and embraced the two children with her arms.

"Thank you my big and little darlings, mommy loves you."

After the intimacy, Shen Mingzhu began to open the birthday presents the children had given her.

She opened Guoguo's portion first.

After all, it was the first time I received a birthday gift from my daughter, so I was a little excited.

It was a watercolor portrait of her. Although it didn't look like her at all and could even be said to be ugly, Shen Mingzhu was still very happy. She would like it even if it was a piece of white paper given by her daughter.

When Shen Mingzhu opened Pei Ziheng's gift, she was a little surprised.

It turned out to be a hairpin.

The hairpin is made of rosewood, and the head is carved with a plum blossom.

The carving looks a bit rough and raw.

Shen Mingzhu suddenly thought of her son's recent hand injury, "Son, did you make the hairpin yourself?"

Pei Ziheng nodded, his dark eyes fell on the white jade hairpin behind her head, and a look of loss appeared on his face.

"I just learned it not long ago, so my work is not good. It can't be as beautiful as the one my father gave me."

"No, it's such a thoughtful gift, mom will like it very much."

"Will you wear it?"

"certainly."

Shen Mingzhu took off her white jade hairpin and used a rosewood plum blossom hairpin to tie her hair into a bun again.

“Does it look good?”

The two children nodded in unison.

At about half past six, Pei Yang returned home and was stunned when he saw the rosewood hairpin behind her head.

When Shen Mingzhu went into the kitchen to bring the soup, he followed her in.

He pushed her against the stove and asked, "Why don't you wear the hair bun I gave you?"

Shen Mingzhu looked at him and said, "This hairpin was given to me by my son. He will be unhappy if I don't wear it."

"Then I'm not happy either."

Shen Mingzhu was speechless. Just split her head in half! (End of this chapter)
