"How can there be no benefit? Isn't it a benefit that my parents don't have to eat more wild vegetables than grain? Isn't it a benefit that I don't have to worry about the family being well?"

Her elder and second brothers both have formal jobs, and her parents have a much more important role in her grandmother's life, so helping others is just a matter of convenience.

Besides, most of the good things in her grandmother's hands went into her hands.

That's something worth several courtyard houses in the future, how can it be of no benefit?

It’s just that she didn’t show it on the surface. Who doesn’t know that she helped her family?

"By the way, Shen Fangfang was married off by your third aunt, but it was the wrong man to marry." Lu Baozhu thought for a moment and said again.

It is impossible to write all about my hometown in a letter. Now that she is here, I can talk about it slowly.

"When did she get married this year? No, wasn't it still happening when I went back? Why did she get married when these days are so hard?" Shen Anan was puzzled.

This day

"What for? It's short-sighted. But Shen Fangfang only went to elementary school and couldn't find a stable job, while Shen Miaomiao went to junior high school."

"That's great!" My cousin can go to junior high school, which means she will have more opportunities in the future.

After the two chatted for a while, Shen Anan took her to the second bedroom.

"Are you going to let me live in this room? Is it possible that I shouldn't live with you?" Lu Baozhu asked.

Shen Anan looked around the room and was about to nod when she noticed a strange small box on top of the cabinet.

"This is......"

Shen Anan stepped forward, took the box down, and then opened it.

Inside is a seal made of Tianhuang stone. The seal is of very good quality. This thing will be worth at least several million in the future.

"My fourth uncle left it to me?"

Thinking of Shen Jianye who stayed here yesterday, I knew without a doubt that it was him who stayed here.

Is this because he was afraid that I wouldn't want him so he kept it quietly?

"What Fourth Uncle? Is that the one you found?" Lu Baozhu asked curiously.

She was very curious about how Shen Anan found her aunt and fourth uncle.

"Well, he came to Beijing yesterday to pick up the leader of their factory and stayed at my place for one night."

Shen Anan said briefly, then packed the box and seal and held them in his hand.

"By the way, tell me how you found these relatives? I won't talk about my uncle, I know that, but how did your eldest aunt and fourth uncle find them?"

Lu Baozhu asked again.

"Well, this story starts from the last time I came back. I met my aunt on the train and she had lost her iron egg..."

Shen Anan told her about the situation at that time and the culprit, the stupid and foolish former cousin-in-law.

"How can there be such a cruel person in the world? This person is too vicious. No wonder people say stepmothers are vicious." Lu Baozhu said angrily.

This person is simply not a human being. If this really happens, two lives will be lost.

"It's not that the stepmother is vicious, it's that the vicious person becomes a stepmother. The two cannot be lumped together!" Shen Anan retorted.

As long as a person is kind by nature, she will not harm others even if she becomes someone's stepmother.

On the contrary, some mothers are vicious by nature and will beat their children to death anyway.

"But she was later arrested and sent to a labor camp, and her parents were taken with her. The whole family is together, which is great!"

At this point, Shen Anan didn't want to mention this person anymore, so she changed the subject directly: "Okay, don't talk about this anymore, do you know why I called you here?"

"Are there any signs of finding a job?" Lu Baozhu asked after thinking for a while.

"You guessed right. It's only a matter of a few days before we make an appointment with that person. I went to your house in advance because I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to find you. I didn't expect that the compound you live in is even stricter than mine." Shen Anan said.

"What? You guys are very strict here too, okay? When we first came here, your guard almost stared us to death. It was only after I mentioned your name and my brother's name that he gave him the face to call you."

Thinking back to when they first came, she felt like she had done something unforgivable and was kept away by the guards.

"Okay, that's how it is. Stay home and don't run around these two days. Don't let people mistake you for an enemy spy." Shen Anan reminded again.

"I know. I'm not stupid, but you are so nice, sister-in-law!" Lu Baozhu hurried forward to flatter her.

···

The next day, not long after Shen Anan arrived at the nursing home, Director Xie came to pick up Mr. Xie from the hospital.

"Xie Director, it's fine for the old man to live here, why do you want to go back?"

Am I really that lucky?

I just heard yesterday that this person was coming back, and today he came to pick up his father.

"My eldest brother will be back in a few days. It wouldn't be good to ask him to come to the sanatorium to see my father, right?" Xie Tiejun said with a smile.

Now he is the only son left in the capital, and his father lives in his own home.

If the eldest brother comes back and sees that dad is not here, I wonder what he will say to him.

"Is that so? That's fine too. The old man has been recuperating well recently. If you have any questions, just come back later." Shen Anan nodded and replied.

These old men have the opportunity to come for recuperation twice a year.

Mr. Xie’s opportunities this year should have been used up, but he can wait until next year.

It’s almost November now, and next year is almost here.

"With Professor Shen here in this sanatorium, my father will definitely come next year." Xie Tiejun replied with a smile.

When he saw his father just now, his mental state was completely different from when he came in. He felt that his father must be reluctant to leave.

If it weren't for the limited time he could stay here at one time, his father would definitely not want to leave.

Thinking of this, Xie Tiejun hesitated for a while before speaking to Shen Anan again.

"Professor Shen, can I try your acupuncture? I've been having a really bad headache lately and can't sleep."

Xie Tiejun said to Shen Anan somewhat helplessly.

His father's condition is much better than his. He has been very worried recently because of the severe shortage of various commercial food.

I couldn't sleep all night.

Shen Anan smiled and said, "Sure, but it's not convenient here. How about we set a time and place?"

I originally wanted to take some time to talk to Xie Tiejun about Lu Baozhu. Now here’s the chance, right?
