Having learned the lesson from the last time, Shen Baolan was particularly careful after this pregnancy. In addition to the cold weather, she hardly went out.

It was rare that the weather was good today and the sun came out. After lunch, she went downstairs to bask in the sun. As soon as she got downstairs, she heard people in the family courtyard talking about Shen Mingzhu.

When I asked about it, hey, Shen Mingzhu was in bad luck!

For Shen Baolan, this was even more joyful than the Chinese New Year. She immediately ran home happily to tell her mother-in-law Ma Sufen.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were talking animatedly when Zhou Shuhuan got up and Shen Baolan told Zhou Shuhuan impatiently.

Knowing that his brother was in trouble, Zhou Shuhuan went out without eating lunch and rode his motorcycle to the food factory.

When Zhou Shuhuan arrived, Pei Yang was discussing with Shen Chaobei and his wife about going out to sell candy in the afternoon. He was very happy to see Zhou Shuhuan coming.

"Shuhuan, you came just in time. Are you free today?"

Zhou Shuhuan nodded hurriedly and became concerned about the trouble caused by the food factory. He was relieved to learn that it had been resolved.

"Shuhuan, I want my eldest brother and sister-in-law to go to the family courtyard to sell apple candies, but they are unfamiliar with the place. If you have nothing to do this afternoon, can you help me take care of them?"

"Okay, it just so happens that I don't have to work in the afternoon."

"Thank you. I'll treat you to a drink after these few days of work are over."

Zhou Shuhuan nodded and looked around. He didn't see Shen Mingzhu, so he hesitated and said, "Brother Yang, is sister-in-law okay?"

"fine."

Mentioning Shen Mingzhu, Pei Yang couldn't stop the smile on his face, "I originally wanted to wait until I was done with my work before telling you that Mingzhu is pregnant."

Zhou Shuhuan was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly congratulated him.

Pei Yang happily patted his shoulder and said, "Come on, too."

Zhou Shuhuan smiled, "Actually, Baolan is pregnant too."

"Really? When did it happen?"

"Not long."

As if he had found a common topic, Pei Yang talked with Zhou Shuhuan for a long time before he finally thought of getting down to business.

After Shen Chaobei and Du Juan took the apple candies and followed Zhou Shuhuan, Pei Yang turned around and entered the office.

Besides Pei Ziheng, Da Ya was also in the office.

Pei Yang originally wanted Da Ya to go out and play for a while, so he could talk to his son alone, but considering that it was too cold outside and Da Ya, a four-year-old girl, couldn't hinder Da Ya, he left Da Ya alone.

"Ziheng, what's going on with the grass fruits in the sack?"

"In September last year, Wang Shiting's mother secretly reported her out of jealousy. Later, I asked the teacher and found out what a poppy shell looked like..."

"What about those things?"

"I asked Zhao Yun to take it to the garbage disposal station and throw it away."

The reason Pei Ziheng fabricated was impeccable.

In addition to lamenting his son's clever mind, Pei Yang was also extremely grateful to have a son who was extremely smart.

"Son, thanks to you this time, you not only protected the food factory, but also your mother."

Pei Ziheng was noncommittal, "I am my mother's son, and I should protect my mother."

Pei Yang lovingly rubbed his little head and assigned him a task, "In the afternoon, you take Daya to the hospital to accompany your mother. I will go to work. After I finish the work, I will go to the hospital to accompany you."

"Ah."

After seeing his son and cousin walking into the hospital, Pei Yang left on his bicycle.

However, after he rode away, Pei Ziheng took Da Ya out of the hospital again.

"elder brother."

After walking a few steps, Da Ya stopped and refused to leave. Her big, black eyes were filled with confusion.

Pei Ziheng hooked his fingers at her and said, "Come here."

Da Ya shook her head.

Pei Ziheng twitched the corners of his lips, "Then just stand there and wait for the traffickers to come and abduct you."

Although Da Ya was young, she often knew from Du Juan and Shen Mingzhu's ears that human traffickers were big bad guys who specialized in catching children. Her little face couldn't help showing panic and fear, and she hurriedly swung her short legs and ran to Pei Ziheng's side, grabbing her. His clothes.

"Brother, be afraid."

"If you're afraid, just follow me and don't lose it."

Da Ya nodded quickly.

In the game hall, Zhao Yun was having fun with a few followers.

Seeing Pei Ziheng, Zhao Yun worked the buttons desperately while glancing at Da Ya who was holding the corner of Pei Ziheng's clothes, "Why did you bring her here?"

Pei Ziheng disliked the turbid air in the game hall: "After you finish playing, I will wait for you outside."

"Right away!" Zhao Yun came out quickly, holding a bulging schoolbag in his hand.

Pei Ziheng opened his schoolbag, took a look at the contents, turned to Da Ya and said, "Turn around, cover your eyes and count to a hundred."

Zhao Yun was shocked: "Can she count to one hundred?"

Pei Ziheng glanced at him, "Do you think everyone is as useless as you?"

Zhao Yun: "..."

Amidst Da Ya's crisp counting sounds, Pei Ziheng took out the contents of his schoolbag.

About half a pound of poppy shells, as well as flavored apple gummies, spicy strips, dried tofu, and potato chips.

If these things fell into the hands of the Food and Drug Administration, his mother would be taken away by the police.

Pei Ziheng's dark eyes were cold.

"What exactly is this?"

Zhao Yun didn't recognize the poppy shell and wanted to pick it up to play with, but Pei Ziheng slapped it away with his paw.

"poisonous."

These two simple words completely cut off Zhao Yun's curiosity about poppy shells.

"Is someone trying to harm Aunt Mingzhu? Who is it?"

Pei Ziheng didn't answer, just stared at these things thoughtfully.

……

"Selling candy, the original price of three yuan per catty of apple candy is five yuan per catty today! Just for today, the price will not be the same tomorrow."

"Delicious apple gummy candies, soft and chewy, sweet and sour, welcome to try them, eat them before buying them!"

Under the vigorous shouts of Du Juan and Shen Chaobei, everyone in the family courtyard soon gathered around.

Zhou Shuhuan held the apple jelly candies unassembled on a plate, and while inviting everyone to taste them, he promoted: "This is the candies made in Brother Yang's factory. They are genuine and not adulterated. Today's special offer is five yuan for two kilograms." , I’ll be back to three yuan a pound tomorrow.”

It tastes good and the price is affordable, so many residents are willing to pay for it.

Anyway, you have to buy candies during the Chinese New Year. If a family member sees you with your head down, you should take care of the business.

What's more, Shen Mingzhu had previously hired housewives from the family home to do temporary work to earn money. She would be in trouble, so everyone should help her.

Not long after the sale, Shen Baolan received the news and hurried downstairs.

"Shuhuan, what are you doing?"

Zhou Shuhuan seemed not to hear it and continued to weigh the candies and collect money.

Seeing that Zhou Shuhuan ignored her, Shen Baolan took a piece of apple gummy candy from the plate.

It's sweet and sour, chewy and chewy, and has a strong apple aroma.

It was just too much to her liking.

With bright eyes, Shen Baolan took a plastic bag, filled it with a bag full of apple gummy candies, and carried it home.

"Hey, from Shuhuan's family, you haven't passed your nickname yet, right?"

Shen Baolan rolled her eyes, "My men help them work, what's wrong with me eating some of their sweets?"

After speaking, he raised his feet to leave, but was grabbed by Zhou Shuhuan with a quick step.

"Put the sugar back."

Shen Baolan also lost her temper, "I won't let you go."

Zhou Shuhuan pointed at her with a cold face, "Put it back, don't make me whip you."

In an instant, everyone around her looked at her as if she were laughing.

Shen Baolan's face turned red with shame, and tears welled up in her eyes, "If you whip me, I'll forget about it if you beat me to death!"

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Du Juan hurriedly said, "It's okay, Brother Zhou, a little candy is not worth it. If Baolan likes it, let her take it back and eat it."

Zhou Shuhuan snatched the candy from Shen Baolan's hand, weighed it, counted it, then tied the bag and threw it into Shen Baolan's arms.

Shen Baolan had no shame in staying any longer and ran away in despair with the candy in her arms.

……

The entrance to the cotton mill.

Pei Yang pushed the bicycle and looked at Pei Wenping expectantly, "Sister, can what I told you on the phone come true?"

Pei Wenping glanced at the two big bags on the back seat of the bicycle and said with a smile: "Don't worry, let's go, I'll take you to see the factory director."
