Chapter 87 Why Can't I Hit You
In mid-January, snow fell one after another. Shen Yuming wanted Shen Yuzhu to come and stay at his house, saying that he could take care of her food and drink so that she wouldn't have to cook alone at home. Shen Yuzhu did not agree. She did not want to live in this old courtyard and felt more comfortable at her own home.
Shen Yuming didn't insist. He stewed a wild rabbit with potatoes, put it in a sand basin, and delivered it to Shen Yuzhu's courtyard.
It won't spoil overnight. You can eat it whenever you want; just scoop out a spoonful, heat it up, and it's ready in no time.
Shen Yuzhu didn't want the wild game that Zhao Yue hunted last time. She could eat at Shen Yuming's house. There was so much meat at home, enough for her sister's family to eat for a whole winter. She didn't try to save any.
She has so many good things in her space, not to mention the black soil, so she has no shortage of food.
After translating documents all morning, the postman suddenly arrived at her door, carrying three huge packages. He was panting heavily, and her heart skipped a beat.
No way, could it be that it was sent by Zhou's mother again?
She opened the door to let the postman in and quickly poured him a large mug of sweet pear soup.
"You've worked hard, making this trip in such cold weather."
“I’m not tired, I’m just miserable, Shen Zhiqing. Your family is so good to you. They send so much stuff every time, it’s overwhelming.”
Shen Yuzhu: "......"
There was no way to refute that. She went over and took a look at the list. Uh... the largest one was indeed sent by Chu Lian, another one was sent by Chen Huatao and his son from Haicheng, and the third one was actually sent by Ren Baobei.
"Here are two more remittance slips. Take them."
The postman drank half a jug of pear syrup and finally felt a little better. He took out two money order slips, a large envelope, and stamps from his pocket.
"These are the things you asked me to bring last time. You can decide what to send, and I'll take them with me this time."
"Okay, thank you, brother."
The postman shook his head and gave a wry smile. This trip was more tiring than three trips for others to the countryside. Fortunately, this educated youth, Shen, knew how to treat people and always gave him some good food and drink whenever he came.
Otherwise, this would really be a tough job.
Shen Yuzhu was very embarrassed. In the past, the things were always delivered to the brigade headquarters. It was just that during the busy farming season, this kind-hearted man felt that it was no big deal to walk a few more steps.
This became a habit over time. When it got cold, there was usually no one at the brigade headquarters, and he didn't know when he would be notified to pick it up after delivering it. Plus, it was cold, and the items might get soaked in snow water, which would render them useless.
Shen Yuzhu sent the translated materials to the provincial library and the manuscript to the newspaper office. After writing down both addresses, she sealed the envelopes and handed them to the postman.
He then asked for a water bottle and filled it with pear syrup. He also took two large meat buns from the steamer before seeing the person to the door.
"I'm so sorry, brother, I'm always troubling you like this. The buns are still hot, eat them while they're hot, they'll keep you warm on the way back."
The postman felt embarrassed and chuckled twice while holding the bun wrapped in oil paper.
"Oh, how could I accept this? It's made with wheat flour!"
"Hey, I definitely wouldn't give this to anyone else, but who are you, brother? You always deliver things to my house. If you don't take it, I'll feel embarrassed to ask you to deliver things to me next time."
Fu Yu witnessed the two talking, and with a cold laugh, she turned and went to Shen Yuming's house.
It was noon, and Shen Yuming was making meat pies in one pot and boiling meat broth in another. He lifted the lid, put cabbage, tofu, and bean sprouts into the pot, then added the soaked vermicelli. After boiling it a couple of times, it was ready to eat.
Every time she cooks, the little ones gather in the kitchen and watch, behaving very well without making a fuss.
"Dinner will be served shortly."
"Mom, don't put coriander in it."
"Let it go."
"I won't let go."
......
The twins, Panpan and Qianqian, have different tastes. Shen Yuming put coriander on the cutting board and told them to put the ones they liked in their bowls and leave the ones they didn't like out.
The family was cooking in the kitchen, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere.
Suddenly there was a knock on the courtyard gate. Shen Yuming asked Zhang Jie to open the gate. After a while, she looked up and saw a somewhat familiar woman standing at the kitchen door.
"Hello, Comrade Shen."
"Yes, it's Officer Fu. Oh, what brings you here? Wait a moment, I'm coming right now. Xiao Jie, quickly invite the guest to the main room for tea, hurry up."
She called out to people without stopping her hands. When the last pancake was ready, she quickly added a ladle of water to the pan, turned off the fire in the other pan, and hurriedly led people to invite Fu Yu into the main room.
Seeing that she was about to pour water, Fu Yu waved her hand.
"Comrade Shen, stop working. I only have a few words to say today, and I'll be leaving soon."
Seeing her so serious, and holding Ya Ya tightly, Shen Yuming was afraid that the family wanted to take the child back again.
"It's like this, our Captain Zeng is a good person. He probably took pity on you, a divorced woman with a child, so he took care of you and your children. But I think you should stop having some of these thoughts."
What does this mean?
Fu Yu frowned, thinking that she was pretending to be stupid. She found it strange that Zeng Hu insisted on participating in the mission to rescue Zhao Di last time. These past few days, she had seen Zeng Hu smiling every day. When she asked him, she found out that he wanted to propose to this person named Shen Yuming.
Isn't this ridiculous?
"Comrade Shen, I think we're all adults, so let's not play dumb. Who is Zeng Hu? He was an outstanding soldier who solved several major cases after retiring from the army. Now he's the captain of our squad and has a bright future. As for you, as far as I know, you've been married twice. No, it shouldn't be called marriage; you were sold and had six children. One of them isn't even around. Do you think someone like you is a good match for him?"
“Shut up, Officer Fu. I’m grateful that you helped my Yaya get home, but I have no feelings for you as a captain. My affairs have nothing to do with you. You really shouldn’t have said these things in front of my child. Get out of here. You’re not welcome in our home.”
Fu Yu sneered and stood up, looking down at her.
"Whether you mean it sincerely or not, some people are not for you to covet. You'd better give up on that idea."
Shen Yuzhu came in carrying a large bag of things and happened to hear this. Just as she was about to run over, she heard a crisp "snap".
"You, you dare to hit me?"
"Why can't I hit you? Who do you think you are? Are you Zeng Hu's father or his mother? Why are you meddling in his business? Let me tell you, I have no feelings for him. I just want to take care of my child and live a good life. If you're interested in him, go find him. What's the point of coming to me? What are you glaring at me for? If you were so capable, you wouldn't be here bullying me!"
Fu Yu glared at her a few times, then turned and walked away angrily. As she passed Shen Yuzhu, she gave her a disdainful look and sneered before leaving the house.
Something's wrong with this!!!
When Shen Yuzhu turned to look at Shen Yuming, her eyes lit up. Her sister had actually dared to rebel! Wow... amazing!
