Chapter 055

Happy to see each other, everyone had a delighted smile on their faces.

Because it was the first time for Shui Huaizhong’s family to come to a big city, there was an expression of restraint and excitement that could not be hidden.

Servant Huai Ming stood on the platform and said a few words to them, then immediately took them out of the train station.

On the way back, Servant Danling and Servant Xingguo looked out at the street scene together, their eyes getting more and more excited.

Serving Huai Ming talked to Serving Huai Zhong and Chen Qingmei about the situation in their hometown.

Shi Danling and Shi Xingguo got together and whispered about the houses and streets of the big city.

Their village friends had never been to the big city, and they were going to talk about it with them when they returned.

When they go back, their status among their peers will be even more different.

***

In the kitchen, Zhong Minfen and Zhen Zhen were cooking by the fire.

From time to time, Zhen Zhen carried Dan Sui out to take a look, and when she saw that he hadn’t returned, she carried Dan Sui back to the kitchen.

Estimating how long Shi Huai Ming had been gone, Zhong Min Fen said, “It should be soon.”

Zhen Zhen’s voice was filled with anticipation as she smiled and said, “It’s been a long time since I’ve seen elder brother and sister-in-law and Dan Ling Xing Guo.”

Zhong Minfen responded, “Yes, I miss them too.”

The two of them talked for a while in the kitchen, but suddenly they heard the sound of the door opening.

Zhen Zhen’s ears were better than Zhong Minfen’s, and her eyes lit up as she said, “It’s here.”

Hearing Zhen Zhen say this, Zhong Minfen’s face instantly brightened up.

She put down the spoon in her hand and went outside with Zhen Zhen, and sure enough, she saw Servant Huai Ming bringing Servant Huai Zhong’s family through the door.

Before Zhong Minfen and Zhen Zhen had the chance to make a sound, Serv Huai Zhong’s family greeted them first.

“Mother.” “Grandma.” “Third aunt.” “Zhen Zhen.”

Zhen Zhen held Dan Sui and greeted Chen Qingmei with a smile, “Big brother and sister-in-law.”

Saying this, she looked at Shi Danling and Shi Xingguo, “Danling Xingguo, you guys have grown so much taller.”

After greeting, Chen Qingmei came over to look at Dan Sui, and said with a smile, “This is our Spike, right?”

“It’s Spike.” Zhen Zhen said as she picked Dan Sui up and turned him in a different direction to make it easier for Chen Qingmei to see him.

Shi Danling and Shi Xingguo also came over to look.

After looking for a while, Shui Danling said out loud, “Her eyes have grown so big.”

Chen Qingmei smiled and said, “What her ah, this is your sister.”

Standing together after a lively greeting, Zhong Minfen was busy and said: “Quickly go wash up, immediately eat.”

After saying this, she turned around and went to the kitchen, while Serving Huai Ming took Serving Huai Zhong and went to put their luggage to wash up.

Because they had already agreed to come over to celebrate New Year’s Eve together, the rooms in the house had already been packed and prepared.

Chen Qingmei and Shi Danling slept in one room with Zhong Minfen, leaving one room for Shi Huaizhong and Shi Xingguo.

After putting away the luggage and washing up, all the food was put on the table.

Dan Sui was lying in the rocking chair next to the table, and the rest of the family sat down at the table.

Serving Huai Ming brought over a bottle of wine, ready to accompany Serving Huai Zhong to drink some wine.

Serving Huai Zhong waved his hand and said, “Let’s not drink today, tomorrow New Year’s Eve, let’s drink tomorrow.”

Seeing that Servant Huai Zhong was not going to drink, Servant Huai Ming put the wine away.

He sat down and asked Shi Danling and Shi Xingguo, “Are you guys tired of riding in the car? If you’re not, after dinner Uncle San will take you to the mall and buy you some food and games, school supplies, and so on.”

Hearing the new term, Shui Danling’s eyes filled with curiosity and asked, “A shopping mall? What is that place?”

Zhong Minfen answered, “It’s a place where things are sold, and there are all kinds of things, so it’s really confusing to go in there and take a stroll, and before it closes, you should all go and take a stroll.”

Serving Danling eyes born out of longing, turned his head to look at Serving Xingguo asked: “Are you tired?”

Shui Xingguo was too embarrassed to say, and threw the question back to Shui Danling: “What about you, sister?”

Seeing his siblings like this, Zhen Zhen smiled and spoke out, “After lunch you guys will rest for a little while, then your third uncle and I will take you to the shopping mall, tomorrow morning there will be a half day of the market, and then I will take you to catch the big market, okay?”

Servant Danling and Servant Xingguo were not as restrained in the face of Zhen Zhen.

Hearing Zhen Zhen say this, Shui Danling’s face was full of excitement, smiled and answered in a shallow voice: “Yes.”

After discussing the arrangements for the next two days, the family ate together and naturally talked about the countryside.

In particular, Zhong Minfen was always thinking about her family and asked Shi Huaizhong and Chen Qingmei, “How’s the family doing?”

Shi Huaizhong answered her, “The family is doing well. This year, the pigs are especially fat and have been sold for a lot of money.”

Zhong Minfen said, “You all put away those bean sprouts for me.”

Chen Qingmei looked at her and smiled, “What? The city is so comfortable, Mother, do you still want to go back to making bean sprouts?”

Zhong Minfen looked at her and said, “To grow or not to grow, anyway, just put it away for me.”

She was getting older and was no better than Zhen Zhen and Shui Huai Ming at adapting to life in the city.

Although the city life is comfortable and nourishing, but she still feel more at home in the countryside, here to eat and drink to enjoy the blessings of the last two years, or to go back to the countryside, and then depending on the circumstances of the two sides of the change.

After talking and eating, Zhen Zhen and Shui Huaoming let Shui Huaizhong’s family rest for a while.

After resting, Zhen Zhen and Shi Huai Ming took them to the shopping mall, Zhong Minfen was not willing to go out and stay at home with Dan Sui.

Zhen Zhen and Shi Huai Ming take Shi Huai Zhong’s family to the mall.

Shi Huai Ming takes Shi Huai Zhong and Shi Xing Guo shopping while Zhen Zhen takes Chen Qing Mei and Shi Dan Ling.

After entering the mall, Shui Danling and Shui Xingguo were very excited, turning their heads to look here and there.

The body of Servant Danling has begun to develop, Zhen Zhen bought her a small undershirt and sanitary belt, and also bought her some beautiful headband hairpin, as well as black and shiny shoes.

Chen Qingmei did not want the hairpin and headband, so she bought some more practical ones.

As she looked around the counter, Chen Qingmei sighed and said, “It’s different in the city.”

Zhen Zhen said to her, “Sister-in-law can come here more often in the future.”

Chen Qingmei smiled and said, “It’s so far away, how can it be so easy? I’m already satisfied to be able to come this time.”

Speaking on the topic of coming or not, Chen Qingmei thought of Shi Huaixia.

She subconsciously lowered her voice and asked Zhen Zhen, “Before Dan Ling’s second aunt came over, was there a conflict?”

At that time, Zhong Minfen had set a time to come to the city, and Shui Huaixia insisted on coming along.

When she came here, she said that she would help take care of Zhen Zhen’s month, until Zhen Zhen was out of the month.

But after she had been here for more than ten days, she went back early.

And after she returned to the countryside, she went around telling people that Zhen Zhen was bad.

In her mouth, Zhen Zhen has now become an arrogant, bossy, lazy, loser daughter-in-law.

The good reputation that Zhen Zhen had built up in the countryside has now been almost destroyed by her.

Hearing Chen Qingmei ask this, Zhen Zhen naturally looked at her and said, “She went back and said a lot of bad things about me, right?”

Chen Qingmei didn’t say yes or no, and Zhen Zhen didn’t need her to answer, she had her own answer in her heart, and then she didn’t hide anything, she told Chen Qingmei all the things that Servant Huaixia had done after she arrived here.

She told her how she had tried to act like an aunt after she arrived here, and how she had looked down on her and always tried to bully her. She said that she had done nothing for ten days, but every day she went to Wu Dafeng’s house to chew her out.

On the day she gave birth, she didn’t even cook a brown sugar egg, and not only did she not take care of the baby, but she also stole a lot of meat.

Then also rummaged through her things to steal her clothes and burst them.

……

There are too many things, Zhen Zhen talked to Chen Qingmei, that then talked for a while.

Chen Qingmei wasn’t surprised to hear it, and continued the conversation in a very normal way, “It’s something she can do.”

The sister-in-law relationship between her and Servant Huaixia was not good, and every time Servant Huaixia went back to her mother’s home, they couldn’t say much, but maintained a superficial harmony. Because she was the sister-in-law, Servant Huaixia was still slightly more polite to her.

Regarding this, Zhen Zhen naturally looks at it with a clear mind and added: “Third brother protects me, she was not able to bully me, there is no place to vent her anger in her heart, and she is definitely going to say bad things about me everywhere. Love to say it, I won’t lose a hair anyway.”

Chen Qingmei looked at her and smiled, “It’s good that you can think this way.”

Servant Danling was also able to understand these rights and wrongs at this age nowadays.

When Zhen Zhen and Chen Qingmei had finished, she also made a comment, “I don’t like Second Aunt either.”

Chen Qingmei gently patted her, “You can’t go anywhere else with that.”

Servant Danling: “I didn’t go somewhere else to talk nonsense.”

After telling the story of Serving Huaixia from beginning to end, Zhen Zhen did not say any more.

With all her attention back on the things in the counter, she took Chen Qingmei and Servant Danling to continue looking at and buying things.

There was no need to affect the good mood over people and things that were thousands of miles away.

***

After shopping in the department store and coming out, each person held something in their hands.

In the midst of the slightly sinking twilight, Zhen Zhen and Squire Huai Ming took Squire Huai Zhong’s family back home again.

All six of them had happy, contented smiles on their faces, with a light blush on their cheeks.

Servant Huai Ming asked Servant Danling and Servant Xingguo, “Did you have fun today?”

Servant Danling and Servant Xingguo laughed together and replied in unison, “I’m especially happy today!”

When the children were happy, the adults were naturally happy too.

The family talked and laughed as they headed home, arriving just in time to make dinner.

After opening the door to the house, Servant Huai Ming washed his hands and went directly to Zhong Minfen’s arms to hold Dan Sui.

He held Dan Sui and coaxed him on his own, accompanying Shi Huai Zhong to the side to talk.

Seeing how skillful he was at holding the child, Shi Huai Zhong smiled and said, “Looks like you haven’t done much at home with the child.”

Servant Huai Ming didn’t feel embarrassed and replied, “Zhen Zhen has to go to work, and my mother is old, so I can’t let them take care of the children.”

While Shui Huaoming was talking to Shui Huaizhong with the children, Zhen Zhen and Chen Qingmei Zhong Minfen went to the kitchen to cook.

Servant Danling and Servant Xingguo returned to their room and took out all the things they had bought and looked at them, loving each and every one of them.

The steaming kitchen.

Chen Qingmei took her apron and hadn’t even tied it around her body when Zhen Zhen reached over and took it.

Zhen Zhen smiled as she tied the apron and said, “Sister-in-law, you can just rest and wait for dinner.”

Chen Qingmei was not comfortable waiting to eat without doing anything.

She told Zhong Minfen to rest on the side and helped Zhen Zhen cook herself.

Looking at Zhen Zhen’s cooking, Chen Qingmei smiled and said, “It’s still Zhen Zhen that you cook well.”

Since going to work, Zhen Zhen didn’t cook as often as she used to.

She looked over at Chen Qingmei and said, “It’s probably not as good as it used to be.”

Chen Qingmei arched her eyebrows, “That’s delicious too.”

After cooking, Chen Qingmei carried the dishes out to the dining table and yelled, “Let’s eat.”

Serving Huai Ming carried Dan Sui and Serving Huai Zhong over, and Serving Dan Ling and Serving Xing Guo immediately ran out of the room.

So those who brought food brought food, those who brought rice brought rice, and those who brought chopsticks brought chopsticks.

After finishing their work, the family sat down at the successive tables, still lively and bustling.

Zhong Minfen like this atmosphere, children and grandchildren, a moment to hear a mother, a moment to hear a grandmother.

***

Because of the service Huai Zhong family on the road to run around for a long time, arrived here and went out to stroll for half a day, are very tired. So after eating, they immediately freshened up and went back to their rooms to sleep.

Chen Qingmei took the service Danling to sleep, and Zhong Minfen slept in the same room.

After turning off the lights and lying down, Chen Qingmei and Zhong Minfen chatted a little more.

Chen Qingmei said with emotion, “Zhen Zhen has had a really good life, don’t even need to ask, just look at her appearance and know that she has lived a very happy life for more than a year. After giving birth to a child, not only can she not see half of her age, but she is also more spirited and more beautiful.”

Zhong Minfen tilted her head towards Chen Qingmei’s side and spoke directly, “Are you jealous of Zhen Zhen too?”

Chen Qingmei softened her tone and smiled, “How can I be jealous? Each person has a different life, and Zhen Zhen has a good life.”

The author has something to say:

It’s hard to go back to the sun.
