Return to the ’70s: A Young Educated Youth’s Slow Descent

In her past life, Sheng Kangning was the classic naive girl—easily manipulated by her scheming stepmother and half-sister, blindly following their every move.

Branded with a ruined reputati...

Chapter 85 Thank you for your hard work

After Xu Hongmei finished feeding Xiaobao milk powder, she planned to go to the cafeteria with Wang Juan and the others. Before leaving, Xu Hongmei asked Sheng Kangning:

"Corning, come with us, and we'll clean up after dinner!"

Sheng Kangning shook his head:

"No, Sister Hongmei, you guys go ahead. I'll take care of these herbs first. Otherwise, you can bring them back for me later. I won't go over there."

Although Sheng Kangning didn't go to the cafeteria, he could guess that it must be crowded at this moment.

Kill the pig!

The day of slaughtering pigs was an event that was only looked forward to once a year. There was the most meat on the day. Who wouldn’t want to eat more meat?

It’s not that Sheng Kangning didn’t want to go, she just wanted to deal with Brother Chu’s medicine as soon as possible, as she had collected it with great difficulty.

Xu Hongmei nodded and said:

"Okay, I'll take your share back."

As he said this, he bent down to hug Xiaobao, but Xiaobao pulled back and said in a childish voice:

"No, I want to stay with my mother!"

Xiaobao has been living here these days, and everyone likes to talk to him and teach him how to speak.

The vocabulary has increased a lot.

Xu Hongmei smiled and pinched Xiaobao's chubby little face:

"You little bastard, you won't leave now that your mother is back, right? You don't want me to hold you anymore, you heartless little thing. Who fed you milk powder just now? Who held you to sleep before?"

Sheng Kangning couldn't help laughing:

"You guys go quickly! Xiaobao is very well behaved, everything will be fine."

After Xu Hongmei and the others left, Sheng Kangning dealt with the herbs on his hands while teaching Xiaobao the Three Character Classic of Traditional Chinese Medicine.

Sheng Kangning also started learning the Three Character Classic when he was about three years old.

At that time, she was just like Xiaobao and could not even pronounce words clearly, so her mother Ling Qing began to teach her to recite the Three Character Classic. By the time Sheng Kangning was about five years old, she had memorized the Three Character Classic of Traditional Chinese Medicine by heart.

Outside the cafeteria, Chu Nanzhou held an umbrella in one hand and a cloth bag in the other.

Inside the cloth bag were three lunch boxes and a large paper bag.

I walked slowly towards the direction where Sheng Kangning lived. As soon as I walked outside the tent, I heard the voice of Sheng Kangning teaching Xiaobao.

Sheng Kangning's voice was soft, followed by Xiaobao's childish voice.

“Learn Chinese medicine and inherit the legacy.”

"It's easy to enter the hall, but difficult to enter the room."

Chu Nanzhou stood outside, listening to the two people, one big and one small, in the tent, with the corners of his lips raised.

After reciting a short passage of the Three Character Classic, the man smiled and said, "Kang Ning, can I come in?"

When Sheng Kangning heard that it was Brother Chu's voice, he immediately stood up and opened the door curtain:

"Brother Chu, why are you here!"

Chu Nanzhou shook the cloth bag in his hand with a gentle smile on his face:

"I heard from Xu Hongmei that you were busy processing herbs and didn't have time to go to the cafeteria to eat. I happened to have something to discuss with you, so I brought it to you."

"Brother Chu, come in first!"

Sheng Kangning made way.

After Chu Nanzhou entered the tent, Sheng Kangning lifted the curtain of the tent.

Chu Nanzhou glanced around the tent. It was quite tidy. Everyone's things were on their beds. His eyes fell on the only old table. The surface was clean and there were no items on it.

There are no stools either.

After Chu Nanzhou put the cloth bag on the table, he moved the table directly to Sheng Kangning's bedside.

Then he took out the lunch boxes one by one from the cloth bag.

When he opened it, the fragrance spread out instantly. When he smelled the fragrance, Sheng Kangning realized that he was really hungry.

"Brother Chu, have you eaten?"

Chu Nanzhou looked back at Sheng Kangning and said with a smile: "No! Let's eat together!"

The man is charming in every move he makes. He is good-looking, has a good figure, and a good temperament. Every move he makes is...

It looks very nice.

Sheng Kangning pursed his lips.

I saw that in the lunch boxes that the man brought over, one lunch box contained stir-fried pork kidneys, one lunch box contained stir-fried pork liver, and the last lunch box contained cabbage and pig blood soup, and there were four large steamed buns in the big paper bag.

After Chu Nanzhou put the lunch box in place, he took out two pairs of chopsticks from his cloth bag and handed them to Sheng Kangning.

Sheng Kangning waved his hand and said:

"Brother Chu, you eat first, I'll wash my hands."

After saying that, he went outside, washed his hands in the rain, and came back.

Chu Nanzhou didn't eat and was still waiting for her.

When she came back, she handed Sheng Kangning a pair of chopsticks:

"Hurry up and sit down and eat, it will get cold soon!"

Sheng Kangning didn't want to sit over there. Once he did, he would be too close to Brother Chu.

But the conditions in the tent were like this, there was no place to sit, so I could only sit on the bed.

Sheng Kangning sat down at the corner of the table.

One on the left and one on the right, even though it was his own bed, Sheng Kangning felt uncomfortable.

Chu Nanzhou glanced at the empty space between the two of them, turned around, picked up Xiaobao, and asked with a smile:

"Do you miss daddy?"

Xiaobao hugged Chu Nanzhou's arm and looked up: "Yes, does Dad miss Xiaobao?"

Chu Nanzhou nodded.

Xiaobao asked again: "Dad, do you miss mom?"

When Sheng Kangning heard this, his face immediately turned red.

After hearing this, Chu Nanzhou smiled, his eyes twinkled, and he looked at Sheng Kangning, raised the corners of his lips, lowered his head and kissed Xiaobao on the soft cheek:

"Of course I do. Dad misses Xiaobao and Xiaobao's mother as well."

Xiaobao giggled with joy.

Sheng Kangning took a big steamed bun and handed it to Chu Nanzhou: "Brother Chu, eat the steamed bun!"

Shut your mouth!

Sheng Kangning didn't know how to explain anything. After all, Xiaobao was too young and children could speak without restraint.

Seeing the embarrassment on Sheng Kangning's face, Chu Nanzhou was in a good mood.
