Shiyue quickly went over to help, explaining, "I came with He Zhiqing, and he carried everything for me on the way."
Upon hearing this, Shen Ningning couldn't help but sigh, "That educated youth He doesn't look fat at all, and he's quite strong. This bag must weigh at least seventy or eighty pounds, right?"
Shi Yue smiled but didn't say anything.
The large bag originally contained dried vegetables, such as dried green beans and dried wild vegetables.
She took advantage of the moment when the others weren't paying attention and secretly replaced the dried vegetables with the food that had been prepared in advance in the hut.
To be honest, this was the first time Shiyue had ever made such a big show in front of others, and she was quite nervous.
But what else can we do?
She couldn't possibly travel all that way just to bring some dried vegetables for Uncle Shen's family.
Who knows when I'll come back next time?
She had been worried that the Shen family might look down on her.
After all, it had been many years since I last visited.
But the moment I met Sister Ningning, when she said "my sister," all my worries vanished.
If she weren't afraid of being suspected, Shiyue would have wanted to take out even more things right now.
"Ningning, I also brought twenty eggs. You should find something to put them in first. I don't know if they've been broken on the way here."
After Shiyue and Shen Ningning carried the large package into the house, they ran to the yard to pick up the bamboo basket they had been carrying all the way.
Of course, the eggs inside were also newly replaced by her.
Shen Ningning was already taking things out of the bundle.
After taking out two bundles of dried green beans, she stared at the small bags below containing cornmeal, wheat flour, soybeans, and rice...
I felt a throbbing sensation in my head.
Shen Ningning's first thought was—Dad will definitely be furious when he gets back!
Before she could even complain about why Shiyue had brought so much grain, she heard her say in the yard that she had also brought twenty eggs!
Shen Ningning immediately dropped the food and ran out quickly.
Instead of taking the eggs, she went over and covered Shiyue's mouth!
Shiyue was startled by her.
She nodded hurriedly, indicating that she promised not to say anything more, and only then did Shen Ningning let go of her hand.
Shen Ningning pointed to the courtyard next door and made a suffocating gesture to Shiyue before taking the bamboo basket and going into the house with her.
As soon as she entered the house, Shen Ningning put the bamboo basket aside and began to interrogate Shiyue: "Where did you get so much grain? Don't tell me it was distributed by your brigade. We all know what the situation is like in the countryside now. There's no way your brigade could have so much surplus grain."
“And these eggs…” Shen Ningning said, glancing at the basket again, her expression showing even more heartache for Shiyue.
Since Shiyue dared to bring it up, she must have already thought of the reasons beforehand.
She went over and tugged at Shen Ningning's hand, saying with a grin, "Sister Ningning, don't interrogate me anymore. I earned all this grain myself. It really was given to me by the team. There's absolutely no lie about it!"
"How can you earn so much food? Don't you eat or drink normally?" Shen Ningning didn't believe it.
"It really was earned by me. When we divorced, the team ruled that the Sun family should return all the food rations they had earned after I married into the family, as compensation for the past year or so. Then they gave me almost 400 jin of grain all at once."
"I can't possibly eat all this by myself. I'm giving it to Uncle Shen and the others to help them out."
Shen Ningning is going out today to buy a ticket at the train station and then go to the countryside to see Shiyue.
Although they knew that Shiyue had been divorced for several days, the family situation was special now. Her father couldn't leave the house, and her mother had gone to the countryside with a medical team.
Shen Ningning had to switch shifts with others, working several long day shifts and night shifts in a row, finally managing to save up a few days off.
She had just gotten off work and was thinking about buying tickets as soon as possible, afraid that if she was late, her young lady might do something rash or something else might happen.
To her utter surprise, she ran into Shiyue as soon as she stepped outside!
Hearing her bring up the topic of divorce, Shen Ningning's eyes showed a hint of worry.
She stared at Shiyue for a long time, seemingly trying to discern how much of her smile was forced.
No matter how I look at the results, I can't see them.
She even felt that the girl seemed more cheerful than when she visited as a child.
Shen Ningning finally felt relieved, but inwardly she thought her father was worrying for nothing.
The person in question is perfectly fine, but he got so angry that he almost ended up in the hospital!
Of course, Shen Ningning wouldn't tell Shiyue about this.
She simply said, "We just found out about your divorce from Sun Cheng. You didn't even tell your family about such a big thing."
When I saw this news in the newspaper that day and confirmed it was about the two of you, you have no idea how furious your Uncle Shen was! He was so angry he smashed his teacup!
I went out today just to buy a ticket at the station. I saved up a few days off to visit you at the brigade. Your Uncle Shen specifically told me to make sure I bring you back.
"Now that you've come yourself, it's saved me a lot of trouble."
When Shiyue saw Sun Chengcai and Yang Tingting return to the commune, she guessed that Uncle Shen must already know about their divorce.
After all, those two are married, so this matter can't be kept secret any longer.
But Shiyue didn't expect Uncle Shen to react so strongly, even asking Ningning to come to the countryside to pick her up!
This made her feel extremely apologetic.
Seeing that she wanted to explain, Shen Ningning waved her hand and said, "You don't need to tell me. You can tell my dad later. I already sent someone to inform him when we entered the hospital. He should be back soon. You can explain to him yourself then."
