Chapter 15 Going to sea is not a funeral, so why can’t you come back?
Dad is going to sea and will never come back!
He is so useless. He can't save his father even after resurrecting his life.
The more Pei Ziheng thought about it, the more anxious he became. The more anxious he became, the sadder he became. Big tears fell down his face.
Shen Mingzhu was a little angry at first, but when she saw her stepson crying profusely, she didn't care about being angry anymore.
"Hey, don't cry. I'm not even angry and you're still crying? Don't cry..."
Shen Mingzhu had no experience in coaxing children, so she could only use a handkerchief to wipe the children's tears randomly.
Pei Ziheng pushed her away and yelled at her with red eyes, "Get out of here! You bad woman, my father will never come back! It's all your fault! Wuwuwu..."
"Bah, bah, don't talk nonsense. Your dad is going to sea and not for a funeral. Why can't he come back? He said on the phone that if this trip goes well, he will be back before the Spring Festival."
What? Will Pei Yang come back during the Spring Festival?
Pei Ziheng didn't want to cry, so he looked at Shen Mingzhu blankly, "Really? Dad really said he would come back during the Spring Festival?"
"I lied to you that you were a dog."
Pei Ziheng burped and thought carefully about what happened to Pei Yang in his last life at the end of March next year.
This year's Spring Festival is at the end of January, which means that this trip to sea went smoothly, and the accident will happen on the next trip.
Therefore, he still has a chance. As long as he can prevent Pei Yang from going to sea next time, he can change the ending of Pei Yang's untimely death.
Pei Ziheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Shen Mingzhu also breathed a sigh of relief and finally stopped crying, which was really hard to coax.
Pei Ziheng's original plan was to quietly go to Xicheng Port to find Pei Yang after raising travel expenses. However, for him who is under five years old, this matter is obviously very difficult. First of all, buying a ticket is a difficulty. Who would sell a ticket to someone under five years old?
What about the 6-year-old child?
Otherwise, let the bad woman take him there?
If she agrees to take him to Xicheng Port, he may consider not kicking her out.
"Can you take me to my dad?"
Shen Mingzhu was not surprised at all by her stepson's request. It would be strange for a four or five-year-old child not to look for his father.
"As long as you are obedient and don't get into trouble, I can take you to your dad's place of work during the winter vacation. Then you can pick him up at the dock and give him a surprise."
The conditions proposed by Shen Mingzhu were simply too simple for Pei Ziheng.
"It's a promise, and whoever reneges on it will die a happy death."
"What are you talking about? You are not allowed to talk about this again." After a pause, Shen Mingzhu teased him again, "Can you still speak idioms? Who taught you?"
"grandmother."
Seeing Shen Mingzhu nodding without suspicion, Pei Ziheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Bad woman, you'd better not lie to me, otherwise I will let you know how to write regrets.

When she and Zhou Shuhuan came out of the Civil Affairs Bureau and looked at the red marriage certificate in their hands, Shen Baolan felt relieved, and her hanging heart finally calmed down.
The wedding was held and the marriage certificate was issued. She was completely tied to Zhou Shuhuan. From now on, she only had to wait patiently for a few years. When Zhou Shuhuan became prosperous, she would be able to live a good life.
The more Shen Baolan thought about it, the more beautiful it became, but in the end, there were shortcomings in this beauty.
Looking at her taciturn husband beside her, Shen Baolan took the initiative and said, "Shuhuan, is the money collected today going to be kept by our mother or not?"
Zhou Shuhuan looked at her and said, "Baolan, Mom has always been the head of our family, and she is in charge of the money. Dad and I give our monthly wages to Mom, and you will do the same in the future."
Although she had been prepared, Shen Baolan still felt a little bit in her heart, "I have to hand it all in? Can't I save it myself?"
Zhou Shuhuan obviously didn't expect her to have such an idea. He was stunned for a while before speaking out, "In the past, Xiaohao's mother also handed over her salary."
These words were able to control the strong-minded Shen Baolan.
Although she was born in a family whose academic qualifications are not as good as those of Zhou Shuhuan's ex-wife, she has a great ambition, that is, to be a more virtuous daughter-in-law than Zhou Shuhuan's ex-wife.
"Okay, I'll listen to you. Leave it all to Mom for safekeeping. Mom will save it for us too."
Seeing that his second wife was so considerate, Zhou Shuhuan also smiled.
When we got home, all the guests had left, and the neighbors were helping to clear away the tables, chairs, benches, leftover food, wedding candies, tobacco, and wine.
As a bride, Shen Baolan didn't take anything away from her. She rolled up her sleeves and worked quickly, which was widely praised by her neighbors. Everyone praised Shen Baolan for marrying the right daughter-in-law, for being virtuous and capable, which made Ma Sufen happy. They can't get it together.
It was already evening when we finished cleaning up, and our grandson Zhou Hao kept crying for no idea what was going on. Ma Sufen was busy coaxing the children, and Shen Baolan consciously took over the cooking chores.
There are a lot of leftovers from a wedding banquet, so just pick a few and reheat them, and keep the rest in the refrigerator for several days.
Shen Baolan sighed while heating the food. The people in the city are nice. They don't need to light a fire to cook, but just burn the gas. It's clean and easy. Water comes just by turning on the tap. It's really good everywhere.
Dinner was quickly put on the table, and the family of five sat down to eat.
Seeing that her stepson refused to open his mouth to eat the rice fed by Ma Sufen, Shen Baolan deliberately wanted to show off, "Mom, let me do it. You eat first."
Ma Sufen was exhausted from coaxing her, and her daughter-in-law was willing to help, so she was naturally happy and at ease.
"Xiao Hao, come on, open your mouth and eat. Only when you are full will you grow taller..."
Shen Baolan scooped up a spoonful of rice with confidence, but her stepson didn't give him any respect, raised his hand and knocked the rice bowl over with a "snap".
"Wow--"
Zhou Hao opened his mouth and laughed loudly. Shen Baolan struggled to coax him for a long time but couldn't coax him. Ma Sufen had no choice but to put down the bowl and chopsticks and carry her grandson over to coax him.
Seeing that her mother-in-law looked unhappy, Shen Baolan quickly brought a broom to clean the floor.
"I only know how to eat, but I don't know how to help coax the children!"
Although her mother-in-law was yelling at her father-in-law, it made Shen Baolan, who had just started her job, very embarrassed. She always felt that her mother-in-law was criticizing Huai.
After finally finishing the meal, Shen Baolan took the initiative to clean up the kitchen, and then boiled water for the whole family to take a bath.
It was already 10 o'clock when she returned to the new room. Zhou Shuhuan was leaning on the bedside reading a book. When he saw her coming in, he closed the book and put it on the bedside table.
"Close the door."
"oh."
The red color in the room made Shen Baolan's face turn red. She closed her eyes tightly and let Zhou Shuhuan reach out to untie her collar. Suddenly, Zhou Hao's crying sound came from the next door, crying and calling "Mom" ”.
Zhou Shuhuan had no choice but to say, "Wait for a while, I'll go see Xiaohao." Then he went out.
Looking at the closed door, Shen Baolan covered her face shyly.
The crying next door finally stopped, and Shen Baolan looked at the door nervously and expectantly.
One minute passed.
Five minutes passed.
After waiting and waiting for Zhou Shuhuan to come back, Shen Baolan couldn't lie still, so she got dressed and went out to see what was going on.
Ma Sufen was sitting in the living room sewing clothes with her reading glasses on. When she saw her come out and flirted with her, she said, "Shuhuan sent Xiaohao to his mother's place."
On a wonderful wedding night, her husband took his son to live with his ex-wife. Shen Baolan was in a terrible mood, but she could only endure it.
It wasn't until almost 1 o'clock in the night that Zhou Shuhuan came back. After a day of hard work, he was exhausted and had no energy left for the wedding. He took off his clothes and closed his eyes to sleep.
Shen Baolan, who had waited all night in vain, was very frightened, but then she thought about Shen Mingzhu not having a bridal chamber with Pei Yang, and she regained her psychological balance.
