The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Huang Ling took Zhuang Xiaoting and Xiang Pengfei to Shanghai by car.

Xiang Pengfei also asked Uncle Qian for help. This time, because Huang Ling was there, Uncle Qian was not afraid that Xiang Pengfei had sneaked out, so he let them all get in the car without collecting the fare.

Huang Ling was naturally not the kind of person who would ride in a car without paying, but Uncle Qian was very determined and asked Xiang Pengfei to help collect the money in the car to liven up the atmosphere, which would be considered the fare.

"Pengfei and Dongzhe went to Shanghai with me last time. It was so lively in the car. That Lin Dongzhe was very good at livening up the atmosphere and telling stories. I found it very interesting and I didn't feel tired driving all the way." Uncle Qian said to Huang Ling with a smile.

"Dongzhe has been a talkative kid since he was young. He can really liven up the atmosphere." Huang Ling said as she sat in the passenger seat.

"Why didn't the child come this time?" Uncle Qian glanced at Xiang Pengfei and Zhuang Xiaoting.

"I can't take care of three children by myself, so I didn't bring Dongzhe with me this time," Huang Ling explained.

"Sister Ling, your son Tuanan is very capable." Uncle Qian said with a smile.

"You know Tuanan, yes, it was last time." Huang Ling said suddenly.

Uncle Qian smiled and said, "Actually, I've been in contact with Tunan all the time. He would ask our driver to bring some things from the south to sell in Shanghai."

Huang Ling was stunned and said nervously: "You mean Tunan is speculating and profiteering!"

Uncle Qian explained: "Don't be nervous. Now that the country has liberalized, private individuals can do business without being considered speculative. The south is very lively. You can go and see it if you have the chance."

Huang Ling frowned and said, "No, Tunan is still a student, how can he do that? What if it affects his studies?"

Uncle Qian explained: "It's not that serious. Tunan just imports some goods from the south and then sells them in Shanghai. Most of them are sold to his classmates. Nothing will happen."

Huang Ling was afraid and asked: "What if something goes wrong?"

Uncle Qian saw Huang Ling's nervous look and realized that he might have said something wrong, so he concentrated on driving and stopped chatting.

After the car arrived at Shanghai Station, Zhuang Xiaoting saw Wang Gang standing there from afar.

"Mom, I saw my brother." Zhuang Xiaoting shouted.

Huang Ling looked out the window with a sullen face and saw that her son did not appear overly happy.

Wang Gang waved to Zhuang Xiaoting, then walked to the side of the car. Huang Ling took the two children out of the car, holding one in each hand.

"Mom, Xiaoting, Pengfei, are you hungry? I'll take you to eat." Wang Gang took the luggage and asked.

"Brother, I've been hungry for a long time." Xiang Pengfei laughed.

"There is a restaurant near the station that serves authentic Northeastern cuisine. I'll take you there." Wang Gang said while hugging Zhuang Xiaoting.

"Just eat something casually, no need to go to a restaurant." Huang Ling asked: "Where is the house you rented? Let's go check it out first."

Wang Gang said: "There is no rush. Let's fill our stomachs first. The house I rent is far from the station. It takes an hour to get there by bus."

Huang Ling didn't say anything after hearing this. Wang Gang took the three of them to the restaurant and ordered some Northeastern specialties.

"Mom, try the sweet and sour pork and fried mushrooms." Wang Gang ordered a whole table full of dishes, which made Huang Ling feel distressed.

"The four of us can't eat so much!" Huang Ling calculated the price and realized that this meal would cost her a week's salary.

"If you can't finish it, take it away and continue eating it at night." Wang Gang smiled and said, "There is a refrigerator in the house I rented."

Huang Ling became even more worried when she saw Wang Gang spending money so lavishly, but Zhuang Xiaoting and Xiang Pengfei were present, so there were some things she couldn't ask.

"Brother, I want to eat that big pork elbow."

"Brother, this pot-fried pork is delicious."

The two children were very happy with the meal. It was their first time to eat Northeastern cuisine, and they found every dish new and interesting. "Eat slowly, be careful not to choke, and drink some soda." Wang Gang opened a bottle of orange soda for Zhuang Xiaoting.

"Brother, I want to drink soda too." Xiang Pengfei's eyes lit up when he saw the soda.

Wang Gang smiled and opened another bottle.

Seeing that the child was eating happily, Huang Ling stopped worrying and picked up her chopsticks to start eating.

"The taste of this dish is just so-so. The portion is quite large, but it's not as exquisite as our Suzhou cuisine." Huang Ling lost her appetite after eating two bites of sweet and sour pork.

"Mom, next time I'll take you to eat Sichuan cuisine. There are so many restaurants in Shanghai now." Wang Gang picked up a piece of fried mushrooms for his mother with chopsticks.

"Don't spend money indiscriminately. I'll cook whatever you want to eat." Huang Ling said.

"Mom, your son is not short of money." Wang Gang said: "I am now doing business with my classmates, and I earn more in a month than you and dad earn in a year."

Huang Ling saw Wang Gang bringing it up, so she asked, "If you don't study hard and try to speculate like others, will something go wrong?"

"It's okay." Wang Gang pointed at the restaurant and said, "This store is privately owned. They operate legally and their business is booming! Now that Shanghai has relaxed restrictions, many people are starting businesses."

Huang Ling said worriedly: "It's not that mom doesn't want you to do these things, but you are still young and should focus on your studies. Can't you do it after graduation?"

Wang Gang explained: "Mom, you forgot that I, your son, am a genius. Doing business does not affect my studies. I am always the best in my age group!"

Huang Ling sighed: "You are grown up now, and I can't control you anymore, but I still hope you can finish your studies first."

Wang Gang comforted him: "Don't worry, I have my own plans. I plan to buy a house and settle down in Shanghai in the future."

Huang Ling was surprised and asked: "Are you not going back to Suzhou?"

Wang Gang nodded and said, "Shanghai has better development prospects. I will most likely be assigned to work in Shanghai after graduation. I also plan to bring you and Xiaoting here."

Huang Ling shook her head and said, "We'll talk about this later."

Wang Gang said: "Mom, are you reluctant to leave your job in Suzhou?"

Huang Ling nodded and said, "Yes! When I came to Shanghai, my job was incomplete and I lost it."

Wang Gang advised: "Mom, now the country is gradually opening up the market economy, the efficiency of state-owned factories will become worse and worse. I asked you to come here this time just to see the business environment in Shanghai. Do you want to come and start a small business?"

Huang Ling was surprised and said: "You want me to engage in speculation? How is that possible?"

Wang Gang smiled and said, "Don't refuse yet. I'll take you to the city tonight. There are many people doing small businesses now."
Seeing her son was so enthusiastic, Huang Ling didn't want to refuse him, so she nodded and agreed.

When it was time to pay the bill after the meal, Huang Ling rushed to pay but was stopped by Wang Gang.

An hour later, Wang Gang, Huang Ling and the other two came to a small Western-style building near Huashan Road.

Huang Ling looked at the Western-style villa in front of her and was so shocked that her mouth couldn't close. The same was true for her two children.

"Is this the house you rented?!" Huang Ling said in shock.

"I only rented an attic, and the landlord's family lived downstairs," Wang Gang explained.

Huang Ling then felt that it made sense. She had only seen such beautiful villas on TV.

At this time, the landlord Xie Huayuan opened the door and walked out.

"You must be Tunan's mother! Please come in. I have cleaned up the guest room for you." (End of this chapter)
