The winter wind in Beijing was bitingly cold, so they all put on down jackets after getting off the car. After arriving at the courtyard, Su Qingmeng took Kang Kang and waited at the door for a while to give Lin Xiuyao time to put his things back.
Kang Kang asked curiously, "Mom, why is Beijing so cold and Pengcheng so hot?"
Su Qingmeng patiently explained, "Because the sun goes to the south in winter, Pengcheng is in the south, and Beijing is in the north. Is it warm when you bask in the sun?"
Seeing Kang Kang nod, she continued, "The sun has gone away, so it's very cold in the north. When summer comes, it will come back, and it will gradually get warmer."
She tried to explain it as simply as possible, hoping that her son would understand when he went to school and learned geography. The older the child gets, the harder the questions become to answer.
"Come in," Lin Xiuyao picked up the luggage, and Su Qingmeng spread out on the sofa in the living room, "Home is still the best."
After traveling through time, the courtyard house was the house she had lived in the longest. She also liked it the most and felt a little reluctant to move.
Kang Kang followed suit and snuggled up next to his mother. Lin Xiu Yao swept the floor and said, "You two stay here. I'll go to the dog farm to pick up Hei Dou and develop the photos." They took two rolls of film on this trip.
Su Qingmeng: "Go ahead, and buy lunch. I don't want to cook at noon."
Kang Kang stood up: "Dad, I'm with you."
After the father and son left, Su Qingmeng packed her luggage and went to her study to sort out some essays she had written during the trip. She would write a diary whenever she encountered something interesting, so that if she became a famous writer in the future, she could also publish an autobiography.
At night, after Kang Kang fell asleep, Su Qingmeng whispered, "Kang Kang is old now. We can take him to places like museums."
Before, I took Kang Kang to places like parks, zoos, and children's centers, but now science museums can be put on the agenda.
Lin Xiuyao: "Okay, I'll go find out the location and opening hours, and take him there when I have time. Oh, my son has grown up so fast. Time flies."
"Yes, you are 31 this year and a mature man." She described Lin Xiuyao's facial features, which were still very handsome.
"Wife, you haven't changed at all, you're still so young." Lin Xiuyao said sweetly.
"I want to thank you." Su Qingmeng felt that marrying Lin Xiuyao was the right choice. He took good care of her, and there were no worries at home or outside. She kept a happy mood and aged slowly.
Lin Xiuyao raised his eyebrows and said, "Let's do something practical." He carried Kang Kang to the side and pressed on him.
The next day, Su Qingmeng called her friends to inform them that she had brought back a lot of women's products from Hong Kong and couldn't wait to share them with her friends. There were not only skin care products, but also various bath products.
She bought quite a bit of everything, and Wang Xinyan didn't find it strange. People who came to Hong Kong on business or for pleasure always brought local specialties, returning with bags and bags of them. Later, Lin Xiuyao went out on his own and bought quite a bit more. It was a rare trip to Hong Kong, so of course he had to stock up.
He Rui arrived first, "The great writer is back!"
Su Qingmeng begged for mercy, "Sister He Rui, please forgive me and don't mention it." She had always kept her "Chen Shui" vest very secret. Most of the works she published under Chen Shui at the book signing event in Hong Kong this time were published under Chen Shui. When she saw that she could no longer hide it, she confessed to her friends and was ridiculed.
He Rui laughed, "I know you are shy, so I won't say anything more." She didn't expect that Su Qingmeng, who was usually cold and quiet and didn't talk much, could write such a lingering love story. It really shows that you can't judge a person by his appearance.
Qiu Ling and Tang Qiuyu also arrived. Tang Qiuyu brought Xiaoyuan with her. Kang Kang was happy, "Brother Xiaoyuan, come and see my new toys." He pulled Lu Zhiyuan to his toy room.
He Rui envied, "It's easier to worry about children when they grow up. They can play with toys by themselves without the need for adults to accompany them." Unlike her daughter, who needs to have someone around her all the time.
She leaves her child in the care of her mother-in-law during the day, and takes the child home to take care of him herself after get off work, otherwise her sister-in-law will have objections. Qian Shengyuan doesn't know how to take care of the baby, so He Rui has to be busy. She is very tired every day now.
Su Qingmeng objected, "Your daughter is at a stage where you don't have to worry about her anymore. She won't move, and she just needs to eat and drink enough. You won't have to worry about her when she can run and talk."
Tang Qiuyu also said, "I don't know what the children will do when they grow up. The one at my house gets into trouble easily. A few days ago, he even pulled up the vegetables planted by others." She also wanted to go to the house to apologize.
Su Qingmeng said, "Don't mention the child, come and see what I brought back."
She laid out the merchandise on the table, even writing down the prices, like a small supermarket. "Take whatever you like, I've got quite a few." There were both expensive and cheap items, and she had even more in her space.
"Wow, what is this? It smells so good." Qiu Ling took a bottle of shower gel and smelled it. Su Qingmeng said, "Shower gel, similar to soap." Nowadays, people in the mainland use soap to take a bath and have never seen shower gel.
Tang Qiuyu ordered a full set of Estee Lauder skincare products. "Hong Kong's products are really trendy, with so many varieties."
He Rui agreed, "I usually just use Yumeijing facial cream, I've never seen so many facial oils." There were also lotions and eye creams, which she had never heard of. However, looking at the prices, He Rui suppressed her eager hand. They were too expensive. The set that Tang Qiuyu had bought cost several hundred yuan.
Finally, He Rui asked for a box of affordable shampoo. She suffered from severe hair loss after giving birth and wanted to try the effectiveness of Hongcheng's products. Qiu Ling picked shower gel, face cream and cosmetics.
He Rui was a little envious. Among the four of them, her family conditions were the worst. She had no support from her parents' family, and her husband's family was just an ordinary family. Now she had to raise a child, and there was not much savings at home.
Needless to say, Tang Qiuyu's parents and husband's families are both rich. Su Qingmeng's royalties are not low, and her partner can still earn money. As for Qiu Ling, one person can feed the whole family, and her parents can still support her. They all live a more comfortable life than herself.
