On a small roadside stall, Zhang Tianhao was holding Zhou Xiaofeng's hand with one hand and carrying two skewers of snacks in the other, accompanying her as they strolled down the street.

Although it was already evening and the sky had darkened, there were still people with lights on by the roadside, doing some small business.

"Honey, what do you think of this?"

While holding Zhang Tianhao's hand, she happily pointed to a small toy on the side, her face beaming with joy.

"If you like it, I'll buy it right now, really!"

"Okay!"

Zhou Xiaofeng arrived at the small beach, pointed to several pieces of jade jewelry on the beach, picked them up and began to examine them carefully.

"Boss, how much is this?"

"Twenty silver dollars!"

"And what about this part?"

"It's also twenty silver dollars."

Where's this earring?

"Two silver dollars, sir, madam, what do you think?"

"This is too expensive. This jade bracelet is five silver dollars, and these earrings are one silver dollar each. How about that?"

"That's too little, I'll lose money!"

Watching Zhou Xiaofeng haggle with the shop owner, Zhang Tianhao couldn't help but smile. After all, he was happy to see Zhou Xiaofeng arguing with the shop owner and even negotiating the price. The happy expression on Zhou Xiaofeng's face after she succeeded made Zhang Tianhao very pleased.

"hehe!"

Just then, a person was seen walking over from not far away. When he saw Zhang Tianhao, he was also stunned, and then walked towards him.

Zhang Tianhao took a few steps forward, then gently released Zhou Xiaofeng's hand and stood by another small stall, looking at the other things being sold there with apparent interest.

How much is this?

"300 yuan!"

"what about this?"

As he asked questions one by one, the middle-aged man walked up to Zhang Tianhao and gently tapped his waist.

"Sir, you're making it difficult for the business owner to do business!"

"Yes, yes!"

"Okay, I'll take this one!"

Zhang Tianhao picked up a seemingly ordinary comb from the ground, tried it out in his hand, and then put down two hundred yuan.

It looks like a wooden comb, but it is actually a comb made of precious wood.

"Young Master, how was it at noon?"

"There's no contact information, but that person put the medicine in the ceiling of the men's restroom. Be extra careful when you go there, and don't let anyone find out!"

"I know!"

Neither of them said anything more, as if they had simply passed each other by.

Zhang Tianhao, holding a comb, looked down at it while exchanging words with the middle-aged man, and only after he finished explaining everything did he consider his task complete.

"Honey, what did you buy? Hurry up and pay for it."

"No problem!"

Zhang Tianhao also walked over and saw that the boss and Zhou Xiaofeng seemed to have agreed on a price. They picked up the item and asked Zhang Tianhao to pay 6 silver dollars plus 200 yuan.

As for money, it had already depreciated considerably by this time, let alone counterfeit currency, which depreciated quite rapidly.

"Honey, what do you think of these two?"

"Not bad, you're a perfect match for her."

"Put it on for me, is that okay?" "Sure!"

He stood carefully to the side, helping her put it on and tidying her hair.

"Can we go back now?"

"Hmm, tonight really went by quickly. I wonder if Xiaoyu has woken up yet. If he has, he'll probably be worried and crying if he can't find us."

"Hehe, there's nothing we can do about it, that's just how things are."

Zhang Tianhao also sighed, after all, no one could do anything about this.

"gone!"

Zhang Tianhao took her hand and walked towards home. It wasn't far anyway, so the two of them treated it as a stroll.

……

At home, Zhang Tianhao asked Zhou Xiaofeng to go inside first to look after Xiaoyu, while he went to his own room.

Sitting under the desk lamp, he picked up the piece of paper that Lao Zhou had given him.

Carefully opening the note, I saw it read: "Caught offline."

The arrest of the downstream contact means that this meeting will be the last one. The woman may have to leave Shanghai. After all, if the downstream contact is arrested, only the upstream contact can ensure safety.

This is a last resort.

"Interesting, very interesting. I didn't expect Old Zhou and his team to investigate so thoroughly. Why do I need to go and resolve this?"

Zhang Tianhao couldn't understand it, but he also knew that there was no need to ask or investigate this matter. After all, only he could ensure the smooth and safe rendezvous.

In the end, he could only shake his head, expressing his helplessness.

"Honey, look, should we buy more of this stuff? I have a feeling it will be quite valuable in the future."

She pointed to the bracelet on her wrist and said somewhat seriously.

Zhang Tianhao was stunned when he heard this, especially when she said that this thing would be valuable in the future. He could hardly believe it, after all, it was too exaggerated.

However, he had to admire this person's vision; at least his business acumen was quite impressive.

"As expected of a top student from the New Beijing Business School, you recognized it at a glance. However, now is not the time for this kind of thing to appear. If this thing is valuable, it will have to wait until later, at least several decades later, by which time we may all be old."

"Gold is still the most valuable thing right now, really."

"Gold, I know it's valuable, but we don't have much of it!"

"Don't worry about this. I've prepared it for you. Those who follow me and have children will all have a batch of gold. Basically, everyone will have the same amount to ensure your future life, at least enough for half a lifetime."

"Sigh, you prepared this for us, but we should also prepare some for ourselves, right?"

"That's true, but it doesn't really matter. You can earn whatever you can. You're just sitting around doing nothing anyway, aren't you?"

"That's more like it. But, honey, I'm planning to send Xiaoyu to school for the second half of the year. What do you think?"

"But he's only four years old. Isn't he a little too young to be sent to school?"

“He’s four years old and can go to school now, and he’s sensible, so I’m at ease. Apart from picking him up and dropping him off, there’s nothing else to do. If you support me, I’ll send him there in the second half of the year.”

“Okay, you can take it over there. If you’re at home and have nothing to do, you can teach him some basic literacy and math.”

"Don't worry about that. I started teaching him in Northeast China, and he's mastered it quite well."

"That's good!"

The two quickly washed up, went straight to bed, lay half-reclined on the bed, and picked up a book to read slowly.

Zhang Tianhao mainly looked through some of the latest medical books and Chinese herbal medicine classics, while Zhou Xiaofeng was mainly calculating the revenue for the first day of business.

"The first day's income was pretty good. Basically, the sales and income brought in a net profit of about one and a half silver dollars. Business is still easier to do in Shanghai."

"Yes, there are more wealthy people here, unlike in Xinjing!" (End of Chapter)
