[Chapter 431 Chapter 431 Encounter with Zhang Lailai]

Shen Yuyao naturally understood her brother's thoughts.

She didn't say much and walked in with her third brother and the children.

She first put the two children down in the children's book area on the first floor and told them to read there and not go anywhere else.

Then he took his brother upstairs.

There is a science and technology area on the second floor.

Because science and technology are the most popular nowadays, this special area is particularly large, occupying an entire floor!

This is divided into many small areas, such as agronomy, engineering, etc.

Shen Yuyao took her brother to the agricultural area, and then, just like she would treat her own children, she gave him a bag containing a kettle, two small loaves of bread, and a handkerchief, and told him to stay there and not go anywhere.

She said she would come to pick him up at noon.

When Shen Junlin walked here and looked at the books that covered the sky like a mountain and a sea, his mind had already flown away!

He nodded absently, grabbed the small bag and headed for the nearest bookshelf.

Shen Yuyao looked helplessly at her third brother who had instantly forgotten who she was, shook her head, and turned to walk towards the third floor.

She is not worried about her two children at all.

Xiaoyi is very smart now and can already act like a grown-up boy.

Never mind that she had brought them to the bookstore before, they knew that if they wanted to find their mother they could just go up to the third floor and visit the calligraphy and painting section.

Even if he couldn't find it, Xiaoyi could still take his sister home by bus.

As for the third brother...

Shen Yuyao felt that she shouldn't worry.

With his personality, he will probably be growing in front of the bookshelf today.

If I don't come to find him, he won't move for a whole day.

It’s not easy to get lost.

So, she walked to the calligraphy and painting area with confidence, took out a picture album of a modern and contemporary painter and started reading it.

Shen Yuyao didn't know how long she had been watching.

Until she felt her neck a little sore, she put the album back and turned her neck.

And just then, she heard a girl’s voice behind her call out uncertainly: “Auntie Shen?”

Shen Yuyao turned her head and saw a very tall girl with short hair who looked like a little boy.

The girl looked very familiar, but Shen Yuyao couldn't recognize who she was for a moment.

After seeing her appearance clearly, the girl suddenly smiled.

She took two steps closer to Shen Yuyao, then suppressed her excitement and whispered, "Auntie, don't you recognize me? I'm Lailai, Zhang Lailai!"

"Lai Lai!"

Only then did Shen Yuyao recognize that the girl who looked like a boy was Zhang Lailai, the girl who had the best relationship with Xiaoya in the slum!

Shen Yuyao also became excited immediately.

You can't make loud noises in the bookstore. There are many people reading here, so it's not convenient to talk.

Shen Yuyao grabbed Lai Lai and walked quickly to the stairs.

Then he asked excitedly: "Lai Lai, why are you here? When did you come to the capital?"

Zhang Lailai and her mother moved out of the slum about a year after Shen Yuyao moved out.

Zhang Lailai's mother Cui Xia later remarried, marrying a widower with two children, and started a new family.

The widower was eight years older than Cui Xia and was already in his late 40s at the time.

Although he was a bit older, he was a serious skilled worker in the steel plant and earned a good salary.

At least by following him, Cui Xia no longer has to pick up scraps, and Zhang Lailai won't have to starve to death of even a sweet potato.

Cui Xia married without hesitation and was determined to take her daughter with her.

Although the old man and the old woman of the Zhang family usually treat Zhang Lailai as if she were dirt, they now know that she is the only root of the Zhang family.

For Zhang Lailai, they fought with Cui Xia several times!

But Cui Xia has always had a hot temper, and she remarried just to get herself and her daughter out of the quagmire. Lai Lai is her bottom line.

No matter how powerful Zhang's parents are, they are old and have no help.

In the end, amid their cursing, Lai Lai and her mother moved out of the slum and moved into the factory staff housing compound.

At that time, Cui Xia was remarried and Shen Yuyao was pregnant, so she did not go, but asked Sister Qian to help bring a big red envelope.

Ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.

After not seeing each other for so many years, Shen Yuyao felt like she was dreaming when she saw Lai Lai again.

Seeing Shen Yuyao, Zhang Lailai was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth and kept grinning, revealing her small white teeth.

She took Shen Yuyao's hand and said, "Aunt Shen, I was admitted to university! I am now studying at Capital Normal University and have been here for more than half a year.

Why are you here? Didn't you go to Ning Province with my uncle Cheng? Aunt Qiao An said before that you gave birth to another little sister. "

Only then did Shen Yuyao realize that Qiao An had not told Lai Lai and the others about their transfer back to the capital.

But this is also normal. Cheng Liyan's transfer order arrived after Lao Feng and the others had moved here.

Joan and her family didn't know this when they moved in.

but--

"Lai Lai, you're already in college! That's going by so fast."

Shen Yuyao couldn't help but sigh: "When I first saw you, you were only this tall. Are you eight years old?"

"Yes, I didn't eat well at that time and I didn't grow tall. I was already over eight years old."

Through chatting, Shen Yuyao learned that Cui Xia was living a good life after her second marriage.

The man she married was a kind man and was very good to her and Lai Lai.

Cui Xia is not ignorant. Anyway, it's a matter of sincerity in return. You treat my child well, and I will naturally be good to your child.

So, later on, the five of them got along quite well.

Cui Xia and the man never had any more children.

The man, who already had two sons, had no objection to this. Having one less son would give him less pressure.

Later, the children grew up, and the two older brothers moved out after getting married and starting their own families. It was Zhang Lailai who stayed at home the longest.

People's feelings are developed through getting along with each other. The longer they get along, the closer they become, like a family.

After the brothers got married, the stepfather focused all his attention on supporting Zhang Lailai.

Who makes this little girl the smartest and most proud of him in the family?

Zhang Lailai started school late, she went to school after her mother remarried.

But she is smart!

Plus, she no longer had to worry about food, so she could concentrate on her studies.

Zhang Lailai was always at the top of her grade when she was in elementary school.

He skipped a grade in the fourth grade, skipped another grade in junior high school, and then went to high school, which shocked everyone!

After finishing her freshman year of high school, she applied to the school and took the college entrance examination.

When everyone found it unbelievable and thought that she was too ambitious and was bound to fall flat on her face, Zhang Lailai received an admission letter from Capital Normal University.

Not only did she get into university, she got into the best university and came directly to Beijing!
