Because it is a newly built residential area, the buildings are very new and it has a bit of an urban feel, but there are very few shops and only two large supply and marketing cooperatives at the entrance of the community.

Zhou Shixun introduced to Sheng Anning: "We will build some more shops here. Two hundred meters from the gate is the school of the base. Currently, there are only elementary and junior high schools. Children will go to the city to attend high school. When the time comes, the base will have a shuttle bus to pick them up every week."

Sheng Anning calculated silently that by the time Zhou Zhou Momo and An An went to high school, it would have been the 1990s. At that time, the city was developing very fast, so there would probably be a high school here.

Moreover, by the time An An and the others go to high school, they might have all been transferred back to Beijing.

Zhou Shixun pointed to a white building not far ahead and said, "That's the base hospital. There are many departments inside. The hospital leader also talked to me the other day. Which department would you like to go to?"

Sheng An Ning looked at the white building, which should be four stories high. There were red slogans painted on the white walls, but the distance was a bit far and she couldn't see clearly what was written.

"I heard that the doctors at the base are very good. Is there any famous senior? I would like to learn from him for a while."

It’s not that Sheng Anning is overly modest, but she sincerely wants to learn.

Zhou Shixun thought for a moment and said, "It seems that there is a doctor named Zhang who is quite good. I will take you there when the time comes. Don't worry, just take a few days to rest."

An An heard her father and mother chatting and ignoring her. She looked around with her big eyes and saw someone selling popsicles on a bicycle. She immediately pointed with her little hand: "Mom, mom, there are popsicles, mom, have some."

Sheng An Ning smiled as she watched, then bent down and pinched the little girl's cheeks: "You are such a greedy little cat, you can see it from so far away. But it's hot today, so let's go buy some popsicles."

Unexpectedly, while buying popsicles, I ran into Zhong Yuan’s mother Qian Min.

Sheng An Ning was still a little surprised, but then she realized that they all worked at the base and must live nearby, so it was normal for them to meet. She just didn't expect to meet them on the first day.

Qian Min obviously also saw Sheng An Ning. She didn't want to say hello at first, and was even a little wary of Sheng An Ning. She thought that after she came, Zhong Yuan would probably look for her again. Wouldn't that mean he was in contact with Song Xiuyan again?

But Sheng An Ning was already looking at her with a smile, and she couldn't just turn a blind eye, so she could only nod politely at Sheng An Ning: "You're here? When did you come?"

Sheng An Ning still smiled: "I just arrived last night, and I said I would visit you and Uncle Zhong after a day of rest."

Qian Min smiled and said, "You don't have to be so polite. You must have a lot of things to do when you first arrived, and you have three children with you. I'll try to avoid unnecessary courtesy."

How could Sheng Anning not hear Qian Min's displeasure? The reason was because of Zhong Yuan and Song Xiuyan, and she was a supporter of Zhong Yuan and Song Xiuyan.

But he still said shamelessly: "It's okay, we don't know anyone after we get here. How about this, after we have cleaned up the house in the next two days, we will invite you and Uncle Zhong to come over for dinner."

Before Qian Min could refuse, Sheng An Ning had already said affirmatively: "Auntie, it's settled. Don't be disgusted by the simplicity of our preparations when the time comes."

Qian Min couldn't say anything unpleasant, and she wouldn't reject Sheng Anning's enthusiasm, so she could only nod reluctantly: "Then I'll trouble you then."

After a few more pleasantries, Qian Min said goodbye and left.

Sheng An Ning waved goodbye with a smile, and called An An, Zhou Zhou and Mo Mo to say goodbye to grandma.

The little girl was in a very good mood because she ate her favorite popsicles. Her voice was unusually loud. She waved her hands and shouted, "Goodbye, grandma."

Qian Min left helplessly.

Zhou Hongyun could see Qian Min's reluctance: "That's Zhong Yuan's mother, right?"

Sheng Anning nodded: "Aunt, how did you recognize it?"

Zhou Hongyun smiled and said, "Zhong Yuan looks like her mother, and you just mentioned Uncle Zhong. But Zhong Yuan's mother doesn't seem to be willing to come to our house for dinner."

She felt even more puzzled, because Sheng An Ning would never pay attention to others if they ignored her, let alone try to please others.

Sheng An Ning chuckled, "Because she doesn't agree with Zhong Yuan and Song Xiuyan being together. Although I don't know whether Zhong Yuan and Song Xiuyan will be happy together, I think they should be given a chance. Only by getting along with each other can we know whether they are suitable for each other. And they are in love with each other now. If we force them to break up now, it will be unfair to both of them."

Zhou Hongyun sighed: "Before, Xiuyan was too stubborn, it was rare that Zhong Yuan, such a good girl, didn't mind."

Sheng An Ning was even happier because she saw Qian Min: "I can see Zhong Yuan later. I miss her a lot."

The two haven't been in touch since Zhong Yuan left. One reason is that Zhong Yuan left in a hurry and Sheng An Ning forgot to ask for his address. The other reason is that communication is not convenient now and it is too difficult to get in touch.

Even if she asked Zhou Shixun for the address, it would take a month or two to get in touch with him. Sheng Anning lost her patience at the thought.

Although the family compound is quite large, there are not many places to go around. Apart from a few places selling things, there is nothing else to go around. The sun is getting hotter and hotter.

Without waiting for Zhou Shixun to say anything, Sheng Anning suggested going home quickly because the ultraviolet rays in the northwest are strong and there is no such thing as sun protection now.

Zhou Shixun had no objection and went to the grocery store to buy two pounds of meat, planning to go back and make dumplings.

When I arrived at the door of the unit, I saw that the vegetables in the vegetable patch belonging to my family had been picked, and the remaining cucumber racks, peppers, and eggplant vines were trampled into a mess.

Zhou Hongyun looked at the messy vegetable field and frowned, "How could this person be like this? Look at how good the land is, how can he plant other people's vegetable fields and still think he has the right to do so? He gave it away for free and yet he became an enemy."

Zhou Shixun handed the meat in his hand to Zhou Hongyun: "Aunt, you and An Ning take the children back first. I will tidy up the vegetable garden, and you can plant it directly in a few days."

Sheng An Ning knew that Zhou Shixun was angry. He was a person who never cared about these trivial matters, but he was probably angry this time.

All I can say is: "The sun is too strong. If it gets hot, come back and take a rest. Wait until it's cooler in the afternoon before doing it again."

Zhou Hongyun entered the house still mumbling: "I've never seen such a person. She gave her a good piece of land to cultivate for a year, and now she can't take it back in the end? I thought the people living here were all high-quality people, but I didn't expect there would be such a person."

Sheng An Ning could only comfort Zhou Hongyun: "There are people who like to take advantage of others everywhere. We should not spoil her in the future and let her not take advantage of others. Don't be angry. Shi Xun didn't want to do this to her before."

Zhou Hongyun snorted coldly, and then heard someone talking to Zhou Shixun outside the window. The voice sounded unfamiliar.

Sheng An Ning went to the bed curiously and saw Zhou Shixun busy in the vegetable garden with a tall man standing next to him...
