The next day, in the morning, San Niu and Liu Hao got up, washed up, and went to the dining room to have breakfast!

During the meal, Zhang Laosan said, "My dear daughter, your eldest sister and second sister are starting summer vacation tomorrow. When are we going to Shanghai for fun?"

"We have a holiday tomorrow, so let's go later," San Niu said!

"Really, Third Sister, I've lost so much weight! Please take me with you!" said Second Sister.

“Okay, considering how sensible you’ve been lately, I’ll take you with me,” San Niu said.

"That's wonderful, thank you, Third Sister! Erniu is overjoyed!"

"My dear daughter, we've all gone to Shanghai, what will happen to the family?" Zhang Laosan said.

"Dad, it's alright. So many people are working during the day! Tonight, we'll have Uncle Da and Uncle Xiaojun stay in the second courtyard to help watch over the house, that's all, San Niu said!"

“Okay, let’s do it this way. After we eat, I’ll tell them to watch the house for us,” Zhang Laosan said.

“We’ll take a plane. It only takes a few hours to get to Shanghai. It’s super fast,” San Niu said!

"Then I'll call and ask my friend to help me book the plane tickets," Liu Hao said.

"That's perfect! Brother Wang Jun, Brother Huang Xuan, since Brother Hao and I aren't here, please keep an eye on things at the factory. Make sure the refrigerators the government wants are delivered on time, don't delay them!" San Niu said.

“Okay, we understand. You can go and have fun without worry! We'll keep an eye on things at the factory, and we'll deliver the refrigerators the government needs on time,” Wang Jun said.

"Then you'll have to take care of it," Liu Hao said.

"Okay, how long are you going to stay in Shanghai?" Huang Xuan asked.

"They should be back in about seven days," San Niu said.

"Oh, then you all had a good time," Huang Xuan said!

"It's getting late, we need to hurry to school. We have exams today, so Da Niu and Er Niu need to get to school right away!"

After dinner, everyone went back to their work!

San Niu and Liu Hao returned to their room. Liu Hao said, "Honey, I'll make a call to book the plane tickets, and then I'll go to the textile factory to check things out and make arrangements!"

“Okay, Brother Hao, you go ahead and help! I’ll go to the export store and buy a few pairs of sneakers. We’ll take them with us when we go to Shanghai,” San Niu said.

"Honey, don't go. It's too hot outside. I'll go this afternoon," Liu Hao said.

"Alright then! I won't go," San Niu said.

"Okay, honey, you stay home and rest! I'm leaving," Liu Hao said before heading out.

San Niu put both of their clothes into the washing machine to wash, then sat under the grapevine and read a book!

After the clothes were washed and hung up to dry, I went back to my room and lay on the bed to read!

Around 10 o'clock, Liu Hao returned!

San Niu said, "Brother Hao, you're back! It must be hot outside! There's some iced tea in this cup, have some!"

"Okay, it's too hot outside. I'm all sweaty after just a short walk. It's perfect to have some herbal tea. Great!" Liu Hao picked up the teacup and finished the whole cup of herbal tea in one gulp!

"Brother Hao, is everything alright at the textile factory?" San Niu asked.

“Nothing much. I just made another call and ordered a batch of silk thread. I also got the money back from the account. Honey, this time I got back 200,000,” Liu Hao said.

"So many! Business at the textile factory has been booming lately!" San Niu exclaimed happily.

“Yes, that’s good, baby. Let’s go to Shanghai. Bring more money and some cash with your uncle. We’ll split up and put some in each of our accounts, it’ll be safer that way,” Liu Hao said.

“Okay, Brother Hao, you’re right. Let’s give the five thousand yuan to my dad and leave it with him. Five thousand yuan each should be enough for us!” San Niu said.

"That's enough. We're just eating and staying in hotels, and we're not buying any big-ticket items that will make us money. Fifteen thousand yuan should be more than enough for us," Liu Hao said.

"That's good. We won't buy clothes or anything, just some food. It won't cost much," San Niu said.

"Hmm, baby, are you still wearing your jewelry? If not, I'll put it in the secret room for you. And all this money, you have to put it in there too," Liu Hao said.

"I won't wear jewelry. It's better to be discreet when we're out, otherwise it's not safe," San Niu said.

"Baby, you're right. I'll give it all to you and put it in the secret room. We'll bring it back when we get back," Liu Hao said, locking the door and closing the curtains.

Liu Hao closed the curtains before taking out all the clothes from the closet and removing all the wooden boards inside. He kept 15,000 yuan and put the rest of the money, along with San Niu's jewelry, into the secret room.

After Liu Hao finished putting everything away, he reassembled all the wooden boards and put the clothes in the wardrobe. Once everything was in order, Liu Hao said, "Baby, I'll lie down for a bit too." As he spoke, Liu Hao lay down next to San Niu!

"Brother Hao, you should go home and see your parents, and tell them about your trip to Shanghai," San Niu said.

“Yes! I didn’t even remember. I’ll go back this afternoon,” Liu Hao said.

“Alright, it’s good to go back. Just in case they need you and cause trouble,” San Niu said.

"Sigh, actually nothing much is going on at home. They go to get off work and come home every day, nothing special," Liu Hao said.

"Brother Hao, there are still a few boxes of tonics at home. Take them all. We're going to Shanghai anyway," San Niu said.

"Okay, I'll go buy it when we get back," Liu Hao said.

"Sigh, I wonder if it's cool in Shanghai. I hope it's not as hot as Beijing," San Niu said.

"Probably not. Shanghai isn't as hot in the summer as here, and it's not as cold in the winter either," Liu Hao said.

"Really? That's great! I was worried!" San Niu exclaimed.

“Honey, don’t worry. When we get there, we can hire a car and just drive around and see the sights. That’s enough. We won’t have to walk everywhere. It’s so hot and it’ll be too much of a hardship for you. You’re not very healthy, so if we spend a little more money, you’ll suffer less,” Liu Hao said.

"Oh! Brother Hao is so thoughtful. This arrangement is wonderful!" San Niu exclaimed.

"Okay, honey, let's go eat," Liu Hao said.

San Niu got out of bed and ate with Liu Hao in the dining room!

"Sit down and eat! It's so hot. We've prepared some cold dishes and stewed beef. Come on, everyone, eat up!" said Zhang Laosan.

"Okay, I love Daddy's stewed beef! San Niu, pick up a piece of beef and start eating!"

"Yes, if you like it, eat more. All the watermelons we grew are ready to eat. I picked a few and they're soaking in the water! We'll cut them up and eat them in a bit," Zhang Laosan said.

"Really? Dad, are the watermelons big? Are there many?" San Niu asked excitedly!

“They’re quite big, each one weighs over ten kilograms. There are so many watermelons growing in the field right now. We can pick more once we get back from Shanghai,” Zhang Laosan said.

"That's wonderful, Dad! You're amazing! You grew so many watermelons!" San Niu exclaimed.

"I never expected this would be the first time I've ever grown watermelons!" said Zhang Laosan.

"Isn't it all because of you pollinating, watering, and dealing with all that chicken manure every day? Otherwise, how could so many watermelons have grown?" Wang Cuihua said.

“That’s right, that’s how farming is. If you don’t take good care of it, it won’t grow well,” Zhang Laosan said.

“Yes, Uncle is right. You have to give before you can receive,” Liu Hao said.

"That's the idea. San Niu loves watermelon, so now she can eat as much as she wants," Zhang Laosan said.

"Thank you, Daddy, Daddy, you're the best!" San Niu said happily!

After finishing their meal, Wang Cuihua brought over the watermelon, cut it open, and everyone gathered around to eat!

"Dad, the melons you grew are so sweet!" San Niu said as she ate.

"Yes, it's incredibly sweet, both juicy and sweet," Liu Hao said!

"Dad, this melon is so delicious! I want to eat a few more pieces!" the girl exclaimed.

“You can eat two pieces, the rest are for your third sister. Your third sister is weak. Haven’t you seen how thin she’s been lately?” Zhang Laosan said.

"Okay, okay, I'll only eat two pieces, not one more, alright?" Erniu said!

"Eat quickly, we still have exams to take!" Da Niu said!

"Right, I almost forgot the important thing. Let's go, Erniu, grab a piece of watermelon and go with Daniu!"

Zhang Laosan shook his head, there was really nothing he could do about Erniu!

After finishing the watermelon, San Niu and Liu Hao went back to their room!

The two of them went back to their room and went to bed!

Liu Hao got up around 3 a.m., took his supplements, and went home!

Liu Hao went to a foreign trade store first, bought a few pairs of shoes, and then drove straight home!

When San Niu woke up, Liu Hao was no longer there. San Niu got up, took a shower, and then collected the washed clothes, folded them neatly, and put them in the closet!

Everything was ready. San Niu took a banana and ate two. Then she sat on the bench and started reading!

It wasn't until dark that Liu Hao returned, carrying the shoes he had bought!

"Honey, have you eaten?" Liu Hao asked, sitting down next to San Niu.

"No, everyone's been waiting for you! Why are you so late today? Is something wrong at home?" San Niu asked with concern.

"Yes, my older brother's family and my older sister's family all went today, so we stayed a little longer. Baby, let's go eat!" Liu Hao helped San Niu up, put her shoes on, and then took her hand to eat.

"Liu Hao's back! Sit down and eat!" Zhang Laosan said.

"Okay, Uncle, if I come back late in the future, you guys eat first and don't wait for me," Liu Hao said.

“It’s alright. It’s more lively when the whole family eats together. Without you, San Niu doesn’t eat properly,” Zhang Laosan said.

"No, Dad, don't talk nonsense, San Niu is embarrassed to say it!"

"Baby, you're the best girl. Come on, drink the chicken soup. You don't have to eat the meat, but you have to drink the chicken soup." Liu Hao ladled out some chicken soup for San Niu and placed it in front of her!

“Okay, I want more, cold dishes,” San Niu said!

"Okay, let me get you some. Have some pig's ear! It's not greasy," Liu Hao said as he served food to San Niu.

"Brother Hao, I've had enough to eat. You go ahead and eat," San Niu said as she ate.

Liu Hao waited until the three girls had eaten enough before he started eating himself!

After finishing dinner, everyone ate a watermelon before going back to their rooms to sleep!

Back in the room, San Niu said, "Brother Hao, go take a shower quickly, I already took one this afternoon!"

"Okay, baby, you go to sleep first! I'm going to take a shower," Liu Hao said, grabbing his pajamas and heading to the bathroom to shower!

After taking a shower, Liu Hao went to bed and cuddled San Niu to sleep!

"Brother Hao, how are your parents? Is everything alright at home?" San Niu asked with concern.

"My parents are in good health, and there's nothing wrong at home. Sigh, it's just that my sister-in-law and my eldest sister saw the supplements I brought back today, and they both wanted them. So I had no choice but to give them two boxes each," Liu Hao said.

“It’s alright, we’ll buy more for your parents later,” San Niu said.

"Honey, you don't know, they even told me to buy them more in the future," Liu Hao said.
