After Wei Shang settled a few people, he went out to buy groceries, while Pingping and Ye Juan called Zhao Weixi into the inner room.

"Wei Xi, grandma knows that you don't want to come out, but your dad's intention to let you out is very clear. On the one hand, you are the oldest student in the family, and your brothers have already started working. As the eldest brother in the family, shouldn't you step forward and take care of your younger siblings in things like this?" Pingping said softly.

"I know, Auntie. I don't mean anything else, I'm just a little depressed. You know, I don't like mechanical things, so I studied chemistry. I hope to make some progress in this area, but fate made me take the lead in studying mechanics, so I'm a little resistant." Zhao Weixi said to Pingping with his head down.

"Is it just such a small matter?" Ye Juan looked at Zhao Weixi helplessly and said.

"Third mother, do you have any good ideas?" Zhao Weixi asked Ye Juan with a little excitement.

"If you don't want to study mechanics, you can study materials science, right? Although I don't understand it, I also know that shipbuilding is a systematic project. It involves not only the manufacturing and design of the hull, but also the selection of shipbuilding materials, right? Since you don't want to study mechanics, you can study materials science, right? If you can develop a top-notch material, it can be used not only in shipbuilding, but also in other things, right?" Ye Juan said.

Ye Juan's words suddenly enlightened Wei Xi. Yes, he could study materials science! He had been stuck in a rut before.

"Thank you, Third Mother. I know what to do!" Wei Xi jumped up, gave Ye Juan a hug, and ran out.

Pingping and Ye Juan smiled at each other and followed him out. Wei Shang came back from buying groceries just in time, and the family had a happy meal together.

Unfortunately, the weather was unpredictable. That night, it rained heavily in the Special Administrative Region, and there was even a typhoon on the sea. We couldn't take the boat.

"The weather changes so quickly. We have to see what the situation will be like tomorrow. If it doesn't work out, we can only cross the border by land!" Wei Shang looked at the weather and felt annoyed.

"Is it troublesome on land?" Pingping came over and asked.

"Going through one more procedure will increase the risk of confidentiality, but this is the only way we can do now. If the rain doesn't stop tomorrow, we can only activate the backup plan." Wei Shang said.

"It's okay, the alternative plan is fine. We just need to keep it as confidential as possible. It's not that shameful. If it weren't for the future, we wouldn't have to hide like this." Pingping comforted.

The heavy rain continued the next day, and Wei Shang had no choice but to choose a backup plan. He directly found Xiao Erduo's company here and asked Xiao Erduo to bring a modified car to escort Pingping and her group to Mingzhu.

The truck sent by Xiao Erduo arrived at the Special Administrative Region in the afternoon. As one of the largest investors in the Special Administrative Region, Xiao Erduo's company has a large number of trucks traveling between the two places every day.

There was no problem transporting a few people. Wei Shang had also contacted the border guards in advance and requested an exemption from inspection in the name of a secret mission.

For safety, Wei Shang also followed the car to a small village in Mingzhu Yuen Long. It was surrounded by mountains and rivers and had only a few households. After Xiao Erduo spent some money, he bought all the land here.

It was transformed into a secret base. Normally, no one would come here, and few people knew about it. The only people who knew about it were the Lian brothers and some of their true confidants.

"Wei Shang, are all these Xiao Erduo's properties?" Pingping asked curiously.

"That's right, this is Xiao Erduo's place. Every time my father comes to Mingzhu, his food and accommodation are basically arranged by Xiao Erduo." Wei Shang said.

"No wonder!" Pingping said.

"Sister, do you know this little ear? His nickname is quite strange." Ye Juan asked curiously.

"Haha, this is a great man. Before liberation, even our young lady, who was a person with great connections, had to cooperate with Xiao Erduo on some things. This guy can be said to be a know-it-all in the city of Peking. There is no news that he doesn't know!" Pingping said with a smile.

"Grandma is right. After this guy came to Mingzhu, many of the things he did were inspired by my father. So I guess it was my father who arranged for Xiao Erduo to come to Mingzhu!" Wei Shang said.

Although Zhao Cheng handed over all the secret lines in his hands to Wei Shang, he only told Xiao Erduo that he could use them, but also to be on guard.

"Haha, your father always looks at things in the long term, so it's not surprising." Pingping said.

"Knock, knock, knock!" There was a knock on the door. Wei Shang thought that the only one who could come at this time was Xiao Erduo. After all, there was a large group of people coming here to study, and they definitely needed Xiao Erduo to do the work, so Xiao Erduo must be the one who came.

The courtyard gate opened, and Xiao Erduo brought Lian Hu in, while everyone else was left outside the courtyard.

"You are Wei Shang, right? Your father told me that all your children are tall and handsome!" The first person Little Ear saw when he entered the door was Wei Shang. Although he had a childish temperament, he had a strong self-confidence that not everyone could have.

"Huh? Why do you look so familiar to me?" When Xiao Erduo saw Pingping, he felt like he had seen this person before.

But if they can have this feeling, they must be acquaintances from Beiping City, right?

"I met you when I was with our young lady. Have you forgotten?" Pingping said with a smile.

"Your young lady?" Xiao Erduo looked back at Lian Hu, who shrugged. He should have been in the Beijing prison at that time.

"Master Liu!" Pingping said.

"Oh?" Little Ear looked at Pingping in front of him in shock, with countless alpacas whistling through his heart. This woman was the first wife Zhao Cheng mentioned, Master Liu's former maid, Shen Pingping.

But even Pingping can't look this young, right? How many years has it been? And Zhao Cheng doesn't look as young as Pingping. He looks about thirty years old!

"So many years have passed, why haven't you changed much?" Little Ear asked curiously.

"If you ask me, I don't know what's going on. It's been like this for years." Pingping said indifferently.

Xiao Erduo and Lian Hu looked at Pingping. Although they were puzzled, they did not ask any more questions.

"You will be staying here for quite a while. If you have any questions, remember to call me. I will leave an inconspicuous car and take you for a stroll in Mingzhu tomorrow to get familiar with the area. The day after tomorrow, we will start choosing a school for the children," said Little Ear.

"That's fine, let's stay here first!" Pingping said.
