Zhou Shixun really didn’t know how Song Xiuyan and Zhong Yuan were doing now, mainly because he didn’t pay attention: “I don’t know, they should be fine.”

Anyway, he rarely sees Song Xiuyan now, and even if he does, he won't remember to ask him about his relationship matters.

However, since Sheng An Ning is interested, he can just ask Song Xiuyan when he returns.

Sheng An Ning sighed: "I hope it has come to fruition, and I also hope that Zhong Yuan's parents can let it go."

Zhou Hongyun then added with interest: "I'm afraid it's difficult. Sister Zhong Yuan's misfortune must have made Zhong Yuan's parents worried. If it were my daughter, I might think so too."

Sheng Anning put herself in An An's shoes and suddenly couldn't accept it: "It's over. I thought I was a very avant-garde person, but when I think about An An meeting such a person, I can't accept it either."

Zhou Hongyun nodded immediately: "You see, this is how it is. If it happened to me, I would definitely not be able to accept it. But then again, Xiuyan is indeed a good kid."

…

It felt like time passed very quickly along the way, and in the blink of an eye we arrived in Jiuquan.

The scenery along the way was desolate, and Sheng An Ning felt chilled when she saw it. This desolation was so severe that not even a blade of grass grew. The setting sun fell on the vast land without a trace of life.

Zhou Hongyun took a few glances and said, "I thought it was desolate, but I didn't expect it to be this desolate. It looks like there is no green at all. There is no grass or trees growing on this mountain."

Zhou Shixun shook his head: "It's dry here, and we depend on the weather for food. There is little soil on the mountain, mostly rocks, and plants can't survive."

Jiuquan Station is very small and simple. The slightly warm breeze carries the scent of grass, and you can still see green wherever you look.

Before Sheng An Ning could take a closer look, she heard Zhou Chaoyang's cheers: "Sister-in-law, An An, Zhou Zhou, Mo Mo, Auntie..."

After a series of shouts, the man rushed over like a madman, laughed and hugged An An, who was in the front, lifted her up and spun her around: "Oh, I've been waiting for you to come. I haven't been in the mood to go to work all day today."

After holding An An, he held Zhou Zhou and Mo Mo and spun around.

The three children laughed continuously.

Zhou Shixun looked at Zhou Chaoyang with some disdain: "Why are you here? The car going back later will be too small to accommodate you."

Before he went to the provincial capital, he applied for a jeep from the team to pick them up this afternoon. Now that Zhou Chaoyang is here, there will definitely not be enough space.

Zhou Chaoyang rolled his eyes: "Brother, can you not say such spoiling things when we are so happy? If I can come, I can definitely go back."

Then he went to hug Zhou Hongyun: "Aunt, I miss you so much. Now that you are here, I don't have to eat in the cafeteria anymore. I can eat at your house every day."

Zhou Hongyun nodded happily: "Yes, you don't have to go to the cafeteria anymore. I will cook for you."

Sheng An Ning looked at Zhou Chaoyang happily. Her hair had grown longer and was tied into a braid. She was wearing a skirt. There was more tenderness in her eyes and eyebrows. She was more feminine than the tomboy before. However, her personality was still that giggling girl.

Zhou Chaoyang, who said he had a solution, squeezed into the car anyway. "My sister-in-law, aunt and I can sit in the back with three children, and it's not crowded. Isn't this good?"

Sheng Anning also smiled: "Yes, just squeeze in like this, we should be able to get there soon."

Zhou Shixun ignored Zhou Chaoyang and went to sit in the passenger seat.

Zhou Chaoyang just smiled and didn't respond.

As a result, Sheng An Ning thought they would arrive quickly, but it actually took more than two hours to drive there. The road condition was very bad and it was bumpy all the way. She felt like her internal organs were shaking and dislocated.

Even An An, who loves riding in cars, couldn't stand it and kept asking, "Dad, are we there yet? Dad, not yet, Dad, An An needs to pee."

We kept walking like this until almost ten o'clock.

It was dark, and Sheng An Ning couldn't see clearly what the environment outside was like, but she felt that it seemed not bad, with rows of neatly arranged buildings.

When we arrived at where we were staying, we could see the building as soon as we got off the car. It was very new.

Zhou Shixun and Zhou Chaoyang walked in front carrying their luggage, while Sheng Anning and Zhou Hongyun walked behind with their three children. They took a look at the surrounding environment and found that there was a large vegetable garden on the first floor.

The new home is on the first floor, room 101.

Zhou Shixun went in and turned on the light. The three little ones couldn't wait to rush in. An An happily asked Zhou Shixun: "Is this our home? Dad, are we going to live here from now on?"

Without asking Dad for an answer, go check each room.

After Sheng An Ning entered the house, she looked at each room. The cement floor was painted red and the walls were light green, which looked very fresh. The layout of the room was standard and each room was large.

The bathroom and kitchen are also very large, but the living room is not big.

But in this era, this design is already the best.

The beds in the three bedrooms have been set up. They are all wooden double beds, and the bedding is also ready. What surprises Sheng An Ning is that the sheets are pink with flowers.

According to Zhou Shixun's aesthetic, he should at least choose plaid or solid-colored bed sheets.

Zhou Chaoyang came over excitedly: "Sister-in-law, do you like it? These were all chosen by me, including the quilt cover and the curtains. My eldest brother initially suggested getting a few pieces of blue cloth as curtains, but I disagreed. I chose this gauze one with a light blue print on the back, which looks pretty good."

Sheng An Ning nodded repeatedly: "It's really good, all of which I like."

Zhou Chaoyang proudly raised his chin towards Zhou Shixun: "See, I told you that my sister-in-law would definitely like what I chose. Sister-in-law, take a look and see if you need anything. I'll take you to the service center to buy it tomorrow morning."

Zhou Shixun was too lazy to pay attention to the childish Zhou Chaoyang, and said to Sheng Anning: "You guys take a rest first, wash up simply, I'll go get the food."

Sheng Anning was a little worried that it was so late, where was Zhou Shixun going to get the food? Before she could ask, Zhou Shixun had already left.

In less than ten minutes, Zhou Shixun came back with a pot of pork belly stewed with cabbage and vermicelli, and a pot of hot steamed buns: "The sister-in-law next door made it and has been waiting for us to come back. When she heard the noise just now, she quickly heated it up again."

Shouting for everyone to come over and eat.

The little ones had recovered by now and knew they were hungry, so they followed their mother to wash their hands, then sat at the table and ate happily.

The dining table is also a low table with eight small chairs, which is just right for children to sit on, but a little uncomfortable for adults to sit on.

Sheng An Ning didn't care, as many families had the same dining table now.

Zhou Chaoyang asked while eating his buns: "Which sister-in-law is it? Sister Yuqin from the next unit?"

Zhou Shixun nodded: "It's her."

Then he said to Sheng An Ning: "Tomorrow, I will take you there to meet him. He is a nice guy."

Zhou Chaoyang took a bite of the bun and looked at Sheng Anning hesitantly...
