Chapter 51 Eating

Shen's father and Wang Cuifen returned at noon, and Shen Cong and Shen Ming also came back.

Jinran jumped for joy, constantly bringing them food and urging them to eat, as if someone who had been isolated from the world had finally encountered human beings.

Jinran admitted that she was lonely.

She misses the days spent with her family, but everyone is busy making a living. It's all temporary.

Wang Cuifen saw that her home was well-managed and that she had also raised pigs and chickens.

With a mix of heartache and tenderness, she held Jinran in her arms, softly saying, "My Nini, you've worked so hard."

Jinran, forced to bury her face in his chest, thought, "So, this is how you reward her?"

The three members of the Shen family, father and sons, also looked at Jinran with tears in their eyes.

Jinran: Actually, life on my own is not bad.

The whole family sat together, chatting and laughing, sharing the people and things they had encountered recently.

Jinran's life wasn't particularly interesting; she always found her own fun, but everyone still praised her and said she was really great.

Grandpa Shen and Grandma Shen arrived at noon, but Da Nan and the others did not come with them.

Grandma Chen shook her head and said, "They're probably afraid that if they come, your eldest aunt and second aunt will complain. They thought the younger generation would all get a share, but they didn't invite the elders. Especially Yan Hong, if she comes, no one will have a peaceful meal. Your eldest sister is too thoughtful."

Jinran was deeply grateful that "one family's rice can feed several different kinds of people!"

"Grandma, when you finish eating and go back, please take some back for the three of them. I'll pack some out separately."

Grandma Shen repeatedly said yes.

Everyone was shocked to see the large table of sumptuous food. Wang Cuifen had just learned that Jinran had killed a wild goat, and warned in a not-so-friendly tone, "Little girl, you better watch yourself. If there's a next time, I'll skin you alive."

Jinran obediently agreed on the surface, but in her heart she was thinking that she would do it again next time.

Everyone was eating without looking up. Shen Ming, with his mouth full of meat, said in a muffled voice, "My brother and I have been eating steamed buns with the pickled vegetables my little sister gave us for the past few days. But these guys at our school are all fighting over them. They say they've never eaten such delicious pickled vegetables before. If they get to eat this mutton hot pot, they'll be moved to tears by the aroma."

Shen Cong also said, "Yes, it smells so good. This is the best meat I've ever eaten."

Father Shen nodded in approval.

Grandpa Shen was drinking his wine. He was already full, but he could still eat a few more bites with his wine.

This is a life even the gods wouldn't trade.

The meal left everyone deeply moved, but they still disagreed with Jinran's decision to venture into the deep mountains.

After finishing the meal, Wang Cuifen cleaned up quickly by herself without needing Grandma Chen or Jinran's help.

Mr. Shen talked to his grandparents about work.

Grandpa Shen instructed, "Once the famine is over, save some money. The children are growing up and need to be taken care of. Congzi and Mingzi are both smart kids and have graduated from high school. Keep an eye on them and see where they can find jobs. I've also had people looking around, but you can't expect me to shamelessly arrange jobs for the children. I can't take advantage of my age and profit from the country."

Shen's father, Shen Cong, and Shen Ming all solemnly acknowledged that they understood.

But in the end, Grandpa Shen said boldly, "But if something really happens, don't be afraid. In this small area, no one can fool me, Shen Hongjun."

Jinran, who was listening to this, became curious about Grandpa Shen's background.

The book didn't explain things clearly at the end, and she got angry and dropped it halfway through. So she doesn't know what happened after that.

But human will can overcome nature, and the story's trajectory in the book is not entirely unchangeable; didn't Wang Dali get reborn?

Therefore, Jinran has always just lived her own life well, regardless of how much trouble the male and female protagonists cause.

She had originally planned to avenge the original owner of this body, but now she realized that Wang Yanhong's brain capacity was so limited that she could easily bring about her own demise.

They didn't even need her. I have to say, the male and female leads are so sensible!

Jinran brought the quilt back and spread it out. When she went out again, Grandpa Shen and Grandma Shen had already left. Jinran asked her mother, "Did Grandma take the vegetables?"

"I've taken it, why are you still thinking about it?"

Jinran took her usual afternoon nap, and when she woke up, she found that no one was home.
