"Aren't you leaving yet? Waiting for me?" Shen Fenghua's voice was like a death knell to Shen's mother at this moment. Her hands and feet stiffened. "What exactly do you want to do?"
Mother Shen's voice was hoarse, but Shen Fenghua smiled and said, "Oh, look how excited you are, your voice is hoarse. Quickly drink some water to soothe your throat."
As she spoke, Shen Fenghua handed her mother the military water bottle she was carrying.
Mother Shen: "..."
She glared at Shen Fenghua, who was panting heavily, and reached out to snatch it. But Shen Fenghua wouldn't let her have her way. She took out a cup from her pocket, poured a glass of water, and muttered, "Where did Huixiu get this good stuff from? It's so effective."
For some reason, she always felt that this thing was something for old sows.
Mother Shen opened her mouth, but said nothing. What could she say?
Shen Fenghua raised his hand, and two young men, covered in sweat, ran out from the corner.
When they saw Shen Fenghua, they all smiled and said, "Sister Fenghua."
“Hmm,” Shen Fenghua handed the cup to one of the people, then took out a ten-yuan note from her pocket and stuffed it into their hands. “Could you please make a trip and deliver this to Dr. Li so he can examine it and find out what’s inside?”
The kettle cannot be given away.
This thing is only truly safe when it's in her own hands.
"Sister Fenghua, this money..."
"Go away, kids can't keep their mouths shut. What money? Hospital visits are free, right? I'll just buy you a bottle of cold soda. It's so hot outside, and you've been waiting for me patiently. I'm getting sunburnt."
One of the thinner young men blushed, scratched his head sheepishly, and said with a sheepish grin, "I didn't get any sun. There are lots of trees here, so it's all shady. Sometimes a breeze comes, and it's really comfortable."
companion:"……"
Helplessly facepalming, this incredibly stupid turtle.
Shen Fenghua chuckled, "So honest."
"Alright, alright, go ahead."
Watching the two walk away, Shen Fenghua turned to look at her mother and said, "What are you still standing there for? Let's go."
"You...you knew all along, didn't you?"
Upon seeing the two young men, Shen's mother finally realized, belatedly, that Shen Fenghua hadn't cleverly escaped a calamity, but rather that she had known everything from the very beginning.
Upon realizing this, Mother Shen nearly fainted.
"You vicious and heartless bitch, you set a trap for your sister."
Shen Fenghua: "???"
She was baffled. How thick-skinned did this old man have to be to say such things that were so utterly unreasonable and indiscriminate?
Shen Fenghua's gaze sent chills down Shen's mother's spine. "Why...why are you looking at me like that?"
“Nothing,” Shen Fenghua clicked her tongue twice, “It’s just that seeing your shameless face makes me wonder if you’re really my grandmother’s biological child.”
If the child was her maternal grandmother's biological child, then even if Shen Fenghua loved and respected her maternal grandmother very much, she would still have to sincerely comment that the child was not well-behaved. Look at how crooked and unruly the child is; he doesn't even look like a human being anymore.
After saying this, Shen Fenghua walked to her bicycle, smiled at her mother, and said, "You go back now, I'll go back after work."
She straddled the bicycle, blinked, and kindly reminded him, "When you get back, please, please don't say anything too much~ If any rumors get out, you'll have to weigh the consequences yourself."
After Shen Fenghua finished speaking, she pushed off with her foot, and the bicycle immediately sped away.
She first went back to the steel factory and told Li Yanran that she had achieved a complete victory. Then, amidst Li Yanran's cheers, she leisurely went to the state-run restaurant.
Yes, after all that commotion today, I only had a sip of tea, and I'm starving.
To celebrate his new life, Shen Fenghua rode his bicycle halfway there, then turned around and arrived at the military compound.
This time, they were much more familiar with the place. When they saw Chen Fenghua, the two children were extremely excited and rushed over, hugging her legs on either side, saying, "Auntie."
Shen Fenghua smiled and patted each of their heads, then greeted the woman, "Auntie, I'll take the child with me now, and I'll bring him back before I finish work."
The aunt smiled and said, "Hey, slow down!"
Shen Fenghua rode her bicycle, carrying the two children, and disappeared in a flash.
When they arrived at the state-run restaurant, Shen Fenghua parked her bicycle under the shade of a tree and locked it. The two children, smelling the aroma of the food, hesitated slightly, looking somewhat reluctant to go in.
Shen Fenghua: "Come on, Auntie is in a good mood today, I'll treat you to something nice."
The two children can eat their fill now, but Shen Fenghua is certain that they can only strive to fill their stomachs; nothing else is likely possible.
Given the family's financial situation, they were always short of money and ration coupons. Since the two children were being looked after, they would definitely have to eat and drink with them.
It's difficult to show favoritism when everyone is in the same pot.
Thinking of this, Shen Fenghua's eyes softened. "It's alright. We don't eat out every day. Coming here occasionally won't hurt."
The two children hesitated and were not very willing to move. Shen Fenghua rubbed her stomach and said, "But I'm hungry."
This time, there was no hesitation at all; he grabbed Shen Fenghua and went inside.
A table full of steaming hot food was laid out, but when it came time to order noodles, the three of them only ordered one bowl, and then asked for three small bowls to share among themselves.
While serving the children noodles, Shen Fenghua explained, "We ordered a lot of dishes, so let's finish the dishes first, and then we can think about eating noodles."
Neither of the two children could refuse.
The three of them, one adult and two children, ordered seven dishes.
Today we also have candied sweet potatoes, a rare treat. Shen Fenghua even contributed two ounces of sugar coupons for this dish.
Hot and sour shredded potatoes, stewed cabbage and pork with glass noodles, sauerkraut fish, braised pork, braised eggplant, candied sweet potatoes, and finally, a hot and sour soup.
In short, today's meal was all about rich, dark sauces and oil. If the two children had just come back, she wouldn't have dared to feed them like this.
If you don't have any oil in your stomach, it's no wonder you get diarrhea and become exhausted if you suddenly eat such oily food.
I've gained a lot of weight and been exposed to oil and sugar, so there won't be any problems eating it now.
Despite our best efforts, quite a few of the seven dishes were still left over.
Shen Fenghua burped a little while eating, putting all the unpleasantness of lunchtime behind her. She took out an aluminum lunchbox from her backpack and skillfully began to pack the food.
Yes, we should save where we can and spend where we can. These are all good dishes, it's definitely not right to waste them. Take them all with us.
The two children were also very full, their eyes shining as they ate.
He was obviously overjoyed.
This time, Shen Fenghua decided not to let them ride on the back of the bicycle; walking around would help them digest their food.
Pushing my bicycle, I walked and walked until I came to the soda stall again.
Shen Fenghua: "(°°)～"
aim~
My heart fluttered.
Could I have another bottle of soda to tide me over?
