Black Market Boss: His Beloved Wife's Lazy Life

They still couldn't get sleeper tickets this time, but on the train, Gao Jianguo upgraded his ticket because it was inconvenient to travel with three children, and successfully entered the sleeper carriage.

The two-day, two-night train journey, although I didn't encounter human traffickers or weirdos like in the novels, was still very tiring.

After getting off the train, Shang Yanfang felt like she had been reborn.

This time, it was Shang's father and Shang Guoqiang who came to pick them up.

"Dad, Dad, Second Brother, Second Brother. We're here." Shang Guokang, who wasn't holding the child, rushed to the front to greet his father and second brother, whom he hadn't seen in a long time.

Shang Yanfang, her mother, and Gao Jianguo each held a child in their arms.

The father bypassed his youngest son and went directly to the mother, eagerly taking the small bag from her hand.

"Wife, this is my grandson. Let me hold him!"

"Can you even do that? Just hug him." Mrs. Shang glanced sideways at her unreliable husband.

"I can learn," said Shang's father, who was somewhat shameless.

Shang Guoqiang patted his younger brother on the shoulder and went straight to find his younger sister.

"Let's go, what are you all standing there for? Go home." After being rebuffed by his wife, Shang's father wanted to show off his power to his son.

"Dad, I miss you so much." Shang Yanfang's words completely suppressed her father's anger, which he hadn't finished venting.

"Darling, let's go home. There's something delicious to eat at home." Shang's father coaxed Shang Yanfang just like he did when she was a child.

The group hurried back to the food factory's residential compound.

Passersby greeted Shang's mother, who happily showed off her grandson and granddaughter, who also boasted about her youngest son becoming the top scholar in the imperial examination and her youngest daughter being admitted to a university in Beijing.

When she got home, Shang Yanfang put the children on the sofa and lay down herself.

"Little sister, how could you treat this child like this?" Shang Yanyan was quite frightened by Shang Yanfang's actions.

"Sister, I miss you," Shang Yanfang said, trying to stop Shang Yanyan from nagging.

"Jianguo, make yourself at home," Shang's mother greeted him, noticing his nervousness.

"Dinner's ready!" As soon as Shang's father returned, he went to the kitchen to serve the food.

He even went to the state-run restaurant today and bought several dishes.

"Jianguo, dinner's ready. Just leave the kids on the sofa." It was nap time for the kids, so the group enjoyed a proper meal.

When Shang's father noticed that his son-in-law was serving food to his daughter, his displeasure subsided somewhat.

"Big sister, second brother, did you two take the exam?" Shang Yanfang asked as soon as she thought of something.

"No, we're not young anymore, it doesn't matter whether we take the exam or not," Shang Guoqiang said nonchalantly.

Upon hearing this, Shang's mother slapped her son across the face. "You know you're not young anymore! So why haven't you brought us a girlfriend yet?"

If you still don't have a girlfriend next year, you'd better go to university.

Shang Guoqiang was the kind of person who didn't like studying since childhood, while Shang Yanyan was the exact opposite of him, and she was an excellent student from a young age.

"Mom, I took the exam and got into Tsinghua University, majoring in literature," Shang Yanyan said, seeing that her mother didn't seem inclined to do anything more.

"Good, it's great that you got into university! Now our family has three college students. I wonder if your eldest brother has any good news?" Mrs. Shang looked at the dining table, which was now empty except for her eldest son, and felt a pang of longing.

"Mom, let's call my older brother in a few days and ask if he can come back this year," Shang Yanfang comforted her mother.

“Yes, Mother. Maybe my eldest brother will bring us a sister-in-law this time he comes back,” Shang Guokang chimed in.

"I'd be happy if your older brother could bring back a girl," said Mrs. Shang as she ate the food Mr. Shang had put on her plate.

“This time, you absolutely have to make sure your eldest brother brings a wife home. If he doesn’t, he can’t come in,” Shang Guoqiang said.

The meal completely eliminated any sense of distance between the group.

After dinner, Gao Jianguo insisted on washing the dishes.

"Little sister, why aren't they awake yet?" Shang Guoqiang asked, looking at the three children sitting side by side on the sofa.

"She'll wake up soon," Shang Yanfang said confidently.

She had conditioned her three children's biological clocks so that they would wake up for a while after they finished dinner every day.

After playing for a few hours, they would go back to sleep.

Sure enough, just as Gao Jianguo finished washing the dishes and came out, the three children burst into tears.

"Honey, the children are awake." Shang Yanfang can't take care of several children by herself; she can only take care of one at most.

"Little sister, why aren't you comforting them?" Shang Guoqiang was completely baffled by Shang Yanfang's actions.

Gao Jianguo took out a few diapers for the children from his bag, filled a basin with warm water, and came back.

Shang Guoqiang watched as his brother-in-law deftly changed diapers and washed bottoms, while Shang Yanfang went to prepare milk for the little ones.

"Second son, what are you standing there for? Take the diapers and go wash them." Shang's mother said, looking at her silly second son.

"Mom, you want me to wash diapers?" Shang Guoqiang looked at his mother in disbelief.

"It's not you, it's me!" Shang's mother rolled her eyes at her second son. How come he's become so stupid after not seeing him for a few months?

"Mom, no need for Second Brother to wash, I'll wash myself later." Gao Jianguo looked at Shang Guoqiang somewhat embarrassed.

“Jianguo, don’t be so polite. What’s wrong with him washing a few diapers for his nephew? Xiaokang did the same. You’ve been on the road for so long, so get some rest tonight.”

Before Shang's mother could glare at him, Shang Guoqiang took the diapers and went to wash them.

He also wore down Shang Guokang, who was watching the show from the sidelines.

"Second brother, Mom told you to wash, why did you drag me out too?" Shang Guokang looked at his second brother with a wary expression.

He's not the naive kid who used to be easily fooled anymore.

"I don't know how to wash it, can you teach me?" Shang Guoqiang rolled his eyes at his dramatic younger brother.

“Okay, I’ll teach you, but don’t expect me to wash you for you.” Shang Guokang said very generously.

"Fine, fine, fine, start teaching me now!" Shang Guoqiang looked at his younger brother impatiently.

"When you put on a diaper, you should first rinse it with cold water, and then scald it with hot water."

"Why do we need to scald it again?" Shang Guoqiang asked cooperatively, hoping to make Shang Guokang feel accomplished.

"This not only needs to be scalded, but also boiled. Our mother said that this way the children won't get sick easily, and the diapers will feel soft to the touch," Shang Guokang explained while demonstrating.

"Alright, little brother. I got it. Give me the diaper!" After washing and teaching him, Shang Guoqiang took the diaper back.

"Mom, I'm done washing. Where should I put it?" Shang Guokang then realized that he seemed to have been tricked again.
