Looking through the French window at the helicopter not far away, Shen Mingzhu turned around and asked her son, "Did you rent it?"
Pei Ziheng shook his head, "No."
Shen Mingzhu was about to nod when she heard her son say, "I bought it."
Shen Mingzhu wanted to ask when he bought it, how much it cost, and why he hadn't mentioned it beforehand, but the questions flashed through her mind and she swallowed them back.
Her son has grown up and should have his own space and privacy. He doesn't need her, an old mother, to interfere in his affairs.
Thinking about it, she changed her words and reminded the brother and sister to be careful when traveling.
Pei Ziheng agreed seriously.
After watching the helicopter turn into a black dot in the sky, Shen Mingzhu turned around and returned home to continue working.
…
"Brother, look, that's our school!"
In the cabin, Pei Tang held his brother's arm tightly with his left hand, pointed with his right hand at the sky-blue, isolated building on the ground that looked like a matchbox, and said happily:
"If we land now, will it be cool for my classmates to see me getting on and off the helicopter?"
Pei Ziheng chuckled, "Want to go to school?"
Pei Tang quickly shook his head, "No, I just got out of here, I haven't had enough fun yet."
A light laugh escaped Pei Ziheng's throat.
Soon, Pei Tang pointed to a white building a little further away as if he had discovered a new continent, "Is that our mother's food factory?!"
"Um."
"Is that building over there Dad's company?"
"Um."
The helicopter circled over the city for nearly ten minutes, and only turned around and flew to the outskirts of the city after Pei Tang had feasted his eyes on it.
…
In the evening, the sunset glows like fire, lighting the entire sky red.
After finishing a day's work, Shen Mingzhu stretched, stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the beautiful sunset like an oil painting to relax her nerves.
“Beep, beep, beep.”
The notification sound of QQ message came from the computer.
She sat back at her desk and clicked on the flashing avatar in her QQ friends list.
Shen Hongmei: [You are so foresighted that you just stay at home and don’t go out. I am almost annoyed to death by the reporters.]
Shen Mingzhu: [It's just for a while, it will be fine after a while, if it doesn't work you can rest at home for two days]
Shen Hongmei: [No need for that. I’m going on a business trip tomorrow and won’t be back until next week.]
Shen Mingzhu: [Hard work]
Shen Hongmei: [Of course, I will bring you some local specialties when the time comes]
Shen Mingzhu: [Yes, thank you]
While chatting with Shen Hongmei, the door of the study was pushed open and Pei Yang's head poked in from outside the door.
"Honey, are you done with work?"
"Almost done." Shen Mingzhu said to the man while typing: "Call and ask where Ziheng is."
"Ziheng is back?"
"Yeah, I came back at noon and took Guoguo out to play."
After closing the study door, Pei Yang took out the cell phone from his pocket, dialed his son's number, walked into the bedroom, and closed the door.
The call was quickly connected, and Pei Yang got straight to the point, "You and Guoguo should eat outside tonight, and don't go home before ten o'clock."
Pei Ziheng was speechless: "Other parents are afraid that their children will come home late, but you are afraid that your children will come home early. Are you a father?"
"They are not my biological children."
Pei Ziheng: I can’t refute it.
In the bustling video game arcade, Pei Tang was riding on a motorcycle at lightning speed. When she saw Pei Ziheng coming back after answering the phone, she stared at the electronic screen and said loudly:
"Brother, let me play one last time!"
"We're not going home?"
Pei Ziheng did not answer but asked: "Do you want to go home for dinner or play outside for a while?"
"Brother, play with me until seven o'clock and then we'll go have a barbecue!"
Pei Ziheng chuckled.
At home.
After finishing the call with his son, Pei Yang turned to Shen Mingzhu and said, "Ziheng said they won't be back for dinner tonight. They want to play outside for a while and won't be back until after ten o'clock."
Shen Mingzhu's first reaction was that her daughter was pestering her son and refusing to go home, and she couldn't help but scold her daughter.
Pei Yang also agreed, "I will criticize Guoguo when she comes back. It's not right for a girl to play outside until 10 o'clock."
"I'll call Ziheng and ask them to go home early."

Wouldn't it be a revelation if he called? Pei Yang snatched the phone from Shen Mingzhu, "Ziheng rarely has time to play with Guoguo. It would be a big disappointment if you called him. Are you still unsure of Ziheng? He knows his limits. Okay, let's think about what to eat tonight. I'm hungry."
After the man changed the subject, Shen Mingzhu gave up the idea of calling her son.
My son is busy all year round and rarely has time to play, so I just let the brother and sister do what they want.
…
Cui Lianying and Pei Ke went to the Maldives for vacation. Sister Yu had rheumatism and was recuperating at home. Both nannies were not at home, so Shen Mingzhu had to cook for herself these days.
Her son and daughter were not at home, and she was not in the mood to prepare food, so she asked Pei Yang to call the hotel for delivery, and she went back to her room to take a bath.
As I get older, I feel very tired after a day's work and just want to lie down and do nothing.
Soaking in a bathtub filled with aromatherapy essential oils, every nerve ending feels relaxed, and the comfort makes people drowsy.
After taking a bath, I went downstairs and found the food already set on the round mahogany dining table.
Shrimp dumplings, steamed buns, chicken feet, steamed pork ribs, golden cakes, fried noodles with crab roe, pineapple buns, shrimp porridge, etc., all filled the table.
"Can we finish all this, just the two of us?"
"Eat as much as you want. Anything you can't finish will be given to Fugui."
The German Shepherd was squatting beside the dining table, staring at the delicious snacks on the table. When he saw Shen Mingzhu looking at him, he immediately wagged his tail to please her.
"Bring your food bowl here."
As soon as Shen Mingzhu finished speaking, the German Shepherd ran to his own kennel and brought the food bowl to Shen Mingzhu's feet.
Shen Mingzhu picked up chopsticks, picked up a piece of each snack on the table and put it in the German Shepherd's rice bowl, and finally poured a large spoonful of shrimp porridge on it.
Pei Yang watched, his heart grumbling: "This bastard eats better than me."
Shen Mingzhu rolled her eyes at the man and said with a smile, "Then bring the bowl over and I'll pick it up for you."
"Then why don't you give it to me first? In your heart, I'm worse than a dog, right?"
Shen Mingzhu pointed to her feet, smiling, "Then why don't you squat here? I'll let Fugui sit in your seat?"
German Shepherd stuck out his tongue: I have no objection.
Pei Yang said awkwardly: "...I was just joking, but you took it seriously. Let's eat."
After dinner, Shen Mingzhu left the dishes to the man to clean up, found the dog leash, and prepared to take the German Shepherd for a walk in the community.
Pei Yang called her, "Wait for me to wash the dishes and join you."
"You wash your dishes and I walk my dog. Why do we have to do it together?"
Shen Mingzhu replied to the man while putting a leash on the German Shepherd.
Pei Yang squatted in front of her and the German Shepherd, and babbled, "We haven't taken a walk together for several days. Taking a walk together after dinner is good for the relationship. If you don't wait for me, I won't wash the dishes. I'll wait for my son to come back and wash them."
Shen Mingzhu rolled her eyes at him and said, "I'll give you five minutes."
"Okay!"
Five minutes later.
Shen Mingzhu was holding the German Shepherd, and Pei Yang was holding her, and the two of them and the dog went out happily.
