Chapter 204 Both children miss their mother
Wenrou wasn't angry with him, but she felt peaceful and happy with her life and didn't want anything to happen to anyone in the family.
Although she knew the responsibilities and missions Huo Yanchuan carried, she also hoped in her heart that he could always be safe and sound, and spend the rest of his life with her and their two daughters.
Seeing that Wenrou didn't speak and didn't seem to reject him, Huo Yanchuan knew that she had forgiven him.
So he reached out and picked the person up horizontally.
Wenrou was suddenly picked up and startled. She lowered her voice and said, "Huo Yanchuan, what are you doing?"
The next second, she was placed on the bed, and the door was closed by him.
Li Xiuying was initially worried that the young couple might have some kind of conflict and wanted to try to persuade them, but when she saw the door was closed, she understood everything.
So he went into his room, closed the door, and went to coax the two children.
Jiang Yan, in his own room, had become accustomed to the little squabbles between Wenrou and Huo Yanchuan.
More than half an hour later, Huo Yanchuan came out of the house with a smile and went to prepare bath water for her.
Wenrou was left alone, slumped on the bed, too tired to even move a finger.
In the end, Huo Yanchuan held her and gave her a hot bath before she finally fell asleep comfortably.
Peng Shao finally came back, and besides work, he naturally had to see Peng Xiaowan as well.
She just gave birth to a boy a few days ago, and Peng Shao specially prepared a big red envelope for the child.
He heard about Hao Gang's situation after returning home. Although he felt sorry for his sister, he could only offer his blessings upon seeing her happy.
"Xiao Wan, didn't you want to go to university? If you get into a university in Beijing, I'll arrange everything else, including Hao Gang's job. You can stay at home, and there will be a nanny to take care of the children, so you can go to school without worry."
With Peng Shao's current abilities, he can provide Peng Xiaowan and Hao Gang with a good life in Beijing. After all, his father lives there alone, and if Peng Xiaowan and Hao Gang go there, they can keep him company and talk to him.
"Brother, Hao Gang and I are doing quite well here. He's helping Xiao Rou in the transport team now, and his salary plus bonuses isn't bad. I know you mean well and want to help us, but I doubt Hao Gang will leave."
Peng Xiaowan understood her husband, so she ultimately declined Peng Shao's offer.
Although Peng Shao still felt some regret, he respected Peng Xiaowan's choice.
Hearing Peng Xiaowan say that Wenrou had helped them a lot during this time, Peng Shao felt very grateful.
"Big brother, you'll be staying here for a few days this time. I'll go tidy up your room." Peng Xiaowan also hoped that Peng Shao could stay with her for a few more days, after all, she didn't have many relatives left in the world.
Peng Shao waved his hand, "Don't bother, I just came to see you, I have to leave soon."
"So eager?" Peng Xiaowan looked disappointed when she heard that Peng Shao was leaving.
"Yes, I still have things to do at the company. I've already been delayed on the road for several days, so I have to leave after I finish things here." Peng Shao nodded.
He chatted with Peng Xiaowan for a while longer, and only left when Hao Gang returned and it was almost time.
Before leaving, he hugged Peng Xiaowan and Hao Gang and said, "We're all family. If you need anything in the future, just write to me or call me. This is my phone number and address."
He wanted to help Peng Xiaowan and Hao Gang, but he knew they had their own pride and wouldn't accept his help, so he had to think of another way.
Lu Ming gained a lot of experience during his trip to Guangdong Province. Although they encountered some setbacks, they were able to turn the situation around with Peng Shao's help.
They were also greatly helped by Wenrou's letter at that time.
Peng Shao is a businessman. Although he still harbors feelings for Wenrou, he also has to consider his own interests.
Although his company is just starting out, it is developing rapidly and is in great need of talent.
He had originally taken a liking to Wen Jinian and wanted him to work for him, but Wen Jinian refused without hesitation.
After learning that Wen Jinian was Wenrou's older brother, Peng Shao had no choice but to give up.
He knew that Wen Jinian would choose to help Wenrou no matter what. Although he felt it was a pity, he also believed that Wenrou would not let him suffer.
Besides, he's already poached Lu Ming. If he were to poach Wen Jinian as well, Wenrou would probably chase him down with a knife.
Although he spoke of that 100,000 yuan deal as if it were nothing, it was a project he had been negotiating for a long time before finally securing it.
Everyone else in the company disagreed with him giving the order to someone else, but Peng Shao insisted on doing it anyway.
Of course, as a future business tycoon, he still possesses his own boldness.
He told his men that as long as Peng Shao wanted something, he could get it. He said that they could give away the 100,000 yuan order today, but as long as they had Lu Ming in their hands, he believed that Lu Ming could bring their company orders worth millions or even tens of millions of yuan in the future.
Originally, no one took his words to heart, since such a distant goal was something they could only dream about.
But Peng Shao is different; if he can say it, he can do it.
No one could have imagined that, a few years later, Peng Shao's words would actually come true.
Once international trade was fully opened up, Peng Shao's company experienced unstoppable growth, which was also due to his foresight and early preparation.
At that time, he appeared in a television news interview for the first time, becoming an appliance tycoon and business mogul that everyone envied.
They transported a lot of electrical appliances back from Guangdong Province this time. If they were to sell them, they would definitely make a lot of money. She entrusted Wen Jinian with all of this.
He's quick-witted, so there shouldn't be any problems.
Without Lu Ming, the business of selling used electrical appliances definitely can't continue.
Wenrou initially thought Peng Shao was just talking, after all, business is never easy. But she never expected that the day after Peng Shao left, someone would contact her and say that there was a business deal to discuss.
She learned from that person that this business deal was a big order that Peng Shao had worked hard for several months and spent a lot of resources and money to secure, and he just handed it over to her so casually.
She knew that Lu Ming alone wasn't that valuable to Peng Shao, so he was using Lu Ming as an excuse. What he really wanted to do was help her take the transportation team to a whole new level.
Although she seems to have made a lot of money now, Peng Shao thinks that it's just a small amount.
Her transport team was newly established, and although she had the technology and talent, she was still somewhat isolated in terms of connections.
Relying on Wen Jinian alone is definitely not enough. Although he has experience, his network of connections is certainly not as good as Peng Shao's.
If a transport team is to truly establish itself, it needs to take on large orders.
Otherwise, such a transport team would definitely not have a place in a big city like Beijing or Guangzhou.
Wenrou does indeed have the idea of setting up a transportation team in Beijing in the future, but the money she has saved is definitely not enough.
With Peng Shao's help, she saw hope again.
Thanks to Peng Shao, the business deal went very smoothly this time.
Since it was a big order, she needed to personally handle it, so she had to drive around with the team herself.
She spent more than two months traveling between Beijing and Guangzhou, leading her team to complete the mission within the stipulated time.
When they got tired or sleepy on the road, they would rest directly in the car. To prevent anyone from stealing the goods, they would take turns keeping watch at night.
She lost a lot of weight in the past two months, but felt very at ease.
These days felt like they were taking her back to the most difficult time of her past life, when she was driving a truck and running a transport business.
Those times were even harder than now. She couldn't bear to eat or wear anything nice, and she would take the money she earned back to support the Zhou family.
He ended up exhausted and sick, but his family treated him as a burden and kicked him out of their home.
This time was different; she was making money for herself, even more so than in her previous life.
For the past two months, she has called home every time she arrives at a new place to let them know she is safe.
On the way, she certainly wouldn't make herself suffer.
Aside from not being able to sleep well, the food and drinks were all provided according to the standards of state-run restaurants.
Sometimes when she arrived at the guesthouse, she would go there to take a shower and change her clothes whenever she found a place where she could shower.
In her past life, she traveled to many places with the transport team, and she was still very familiar with these places when she passed through them.
Seeing this, Xiaolin asked in surprise, "Sister-in-law, have you been here before? How come you seem to know this place better than anyone else?"
Wenrou smiled upon hearing this, "Maybe you came in a dream?"
Xiaolin didn't understand the meaning behind Wenrou's words, so he could only scratch his head, looking puzzled.
"Alright, pack up, we need to hurry, it looks like it's going to rain soon." Wenrou said to Xiaolin after finishing the last bite of her meal.
Xiaolin responded and hurried off to inform the others.
After delivering this last trip, they can complete their mission and go home. So even though the journey is tiring and arduous, everyone is happy and looking forward to reuniting with their families soon.
Wenrou also misses her family, whether it's Huo Yanchuan, her two children, or Jiang Yan and his family.
She also looked forward to going home soon so that her family could have a reunion dinner.
When Huo Yanchuan first heard that she was going to be away for more than two months, he disagreed, but under Wenrou's insistence, he had no choice but to nod in agreement.
His only requirement was that no matter where she went, she had to call to let him know she was safe as soon as possible, and Wenrou certainly did that.
Although the two could not meet, she would call the military whenever she was in a place with a telephone.
Huo Yanchuan was relieved to hear her voice and to know that she was alright.
After arriving in Beijing, Wenrou led her people to deliver the last shipment and finally received the final payment.
After all the goods were delivered, they finally felt much more at ease.
So Wenrou booked the largest guesthouse for everyone, allowing them to take a comfortable hot bath and have a good night's sleep, planning to return the next day.
That evening, Wenrou called the military base, and they told her that Huo Yanchuan was on a mission and was temporarily unavailable.
She had originally wanted to tell Huo Yanchuan and her family the good news that she was going back, but when she learned that he wasn't there, she could only hang up the phone with a disappointed look on her face.
She also learned from Huo Yanchuan that he had been busy with training in the army and had no time to take care of his family, so he asked Li Xiuying to take the two children to the house that Wen Jiguang had bought in town.
Jiang Yan is now studying in town, not far from their house, so he can come back after school.
They were all very worried about Wenrou's sudden departure for more than two months.
The two children are growing up and can talk and walk now. They cry and shout for their mother every day.
Every time she saw her two children looking so pitiful, Li Xiuying couldn't help but say, "Tell me about Xiaorou, what kind of business is this woman doing running so far away? How can she ever earn all that money? If you ask me, the most important thing is for our family to be safe and sound."
Wen Jianshe, holding his granddaughter, agreed with Li Xiuying's words, but still said, "You know Xiaorou's personality. She's strong-willed, knows what she's doing, and has her own goals and ambitions. What do you, a woman, know?"
"Okay, okay, I don't understand. You all have your own things to do, and I'm the only one who's idle all day long," Li Xiuying said, glancing at Wen Jianshe.
When Jiang Yan got home, he saw the two old people arguing. He was used to it, so he reached out and took Yun Yao from Li Xiuying's arms and carried her into the house.
As the older sister, Yun Shu is quiet and obedient, while Yun Yao is lively and active. Apart from Jiang Yan, she doesn't listen to anyone else in the family, not even Huo Yanchuan. Only Jiang Yan can control her.
"Mommy, Mommy..." Yun Yao cried out in her sleep that night. Then she climbed out of bed, ran barefoot out of the yard, and said she was going to find her mother.
When Li Xiuying heard the sound, she woke up and found that the little girl was gone, so she hurriedly chased after her.
Just as she was about to go out to look for her, Jiang Yan came back from outside carrying Yun Yao.
It turned out that Jiang Yan woke up in the next room the moment Yun Yao cried out.
Hearing her run out crying, Jiang Yan hurriedly followed, hugged her, and coaxed her until she finally fell asleep.
"Oh dear, if you had gotten lost, your mother would have scolded me to death." Seeing Yun Yao return, Li Xiuying finally felt relieved.
Only then did she notice that Jiang Yan wasn't wearing shoes, and she said with concern, "Xiao Yan, go back inside quickly. It's so cold at night, why aren't you wearing shoes?"
"It's good that Yun Yao is alright. You should carry her back to the house first." Jiang Yan looked at Yun Yao with eyes full of heartache and worry.
Not only did Yun Yao miss his mother, but he also missed Aunt Xiao Rou.
It's been more than two months already, when will she finally come back?
Meanwhile, at the guesthouse where Wenrou was staying, she had just finished making a phone call and was about to enter the room when a figure followed behind her and pulled her into the room.
"You..." Wenrou instinctively wanted to shout, but after smelling the familiar scent on the other person, her whole body relaxed.
"Weren't you on a mission? What are you doing in Beijing?"
