At the Ping An Food Therapy Restaurant branch, a green ceiling fan slowly rotates overhead, bringing gusts of cool breeze.
Shen Xiaoyu had just come out of the back kitchen, holding a plate of hot dishes that had just come out of the pot, ready to be sent to the lobby.
Just as she was walking through the corridor, several waiters from the restaurant gathered in a corner, whispering, and from time to time they heard the names of "Shen Anan" and "Li Shunzi".
I felt something in my heart and slowed down my pace involuntarily.
"Hey, have you heard? Our boss Shen Anan and Li Shunzi have been having an unusual relationship recently."
A waiter said mysteriously.
"Really? I didn't see that."
Another waiter was curious.
"Humph, of course you can't tell. I heard that Li Shunzi chats with Shen Anan every day and gives her a lot of things."
Shen Xiaoyu's heart skipped a beat, and she remembered that she did hear that Li Shunzi gave Shen Anan a new dress two days ago. She didn't think much about it at the time, but now it seems that this matter is not that simple.
Taking a deep breath and trying to stay calm, she pretended to walk over casually: "What are you talking about here?"
Wow!
A waiter was stunned when he saw that it was Shen Xiaoyu, and then he laughed: "Nothing, just chatting!"
Seeing this, Shen Xiaoyu didn’t ask any more questions, but her heart was already stirred.
She didn't expect that such a rumor would spread in the restaurant. I thought of Sister An An's usual care and concern for me, and I couldn't help but feel shaken.
His teeth were slightly clenched.
Otherwise, find some time to ask Sister An An?
But, after asking, what if Sister An An is really with Shun Zi...
Shen Xiaoyu walked towards the lobby with the hot dishes, but her heart felt as heavy as if a stone was pressing on her.
She didn't know what to do.
After work, she took a bus back to the village. When she got off the bus, her footsteps made the stones on the roadside bounce, and the expression on her face was heavier than the dark clouds in the sky.
When I walked to the edge of the field, I saw my mother bending over to pull weeds, so I walked straight over.
"Mom, I have something to talk to you about." Shen Xiaoyu stood on the ridge of the field, rubbing her hands back and forth on her pants, looking a little embarrassed.
Zhao Lijuan looked up and saw that it was her daughter. She quickly put down her work, patted the dirt off her body, and stood up: "What's the matter? Look at your tense face."
Shen Xiaoyu pursed her lips, as if she had made up her mind, and whispered: “Mom, I…I want to marry Li Shunzi.”
"What?" The weeds in Zhao Lijuan's hand suddenly fell to the ground. "Why so sudden? Haven't you two just known each other for a short time?"
Shen Xiaoyu lowered her head and kicked the stone at her feet, her voice becoming even quieter: "I...I just think he is a good person and I want to live with him."
Seeing Shen Xiaoyu like this, Zhao Lijuan always felt something was wrong, so she walked up to her and took her hand, "Xiaoyu, are you hiding something from mom? Talk to mom, and I'll give you some advice."
However, Shen Xiaoyu broke free from Zhao Lijuan’s hand and shook her head, “Mom, it’s really nothing, it’s just… I just suddenly want to get married.”
After saying that, she turned and was about to leave.
"Wait!" Zhao Lijuan quickly pulled her back. "Such a big thing, you should at least tell your sister An An, right?"
When Shen Xiaoyu heard that she was going to find Shen Anan, she quickly waved her hand and said, “Mom, please don’t tell Sister Anan, I don’t want her to know.”
After saying that, she ran away.
Zhao Lijuan looked at her back as she ran away, thinking that something must have happened to this girl.
Early the next morning, she took advantage of Shen Anan's restaurant just opening and went there on purpose.
"An An, I came to chat with you." Zhao Lijuan walked into the restaurant and sat down on a stool while speaking.
When Shen Anan saw her aunt, she smiled and greeted her: "Aunt, why are you here? What's the matter?"
Before she opened her mouth, Zhao Lijuan sighed first, and then told Shen Xiaoyu that she wanted to marry Li Shunzi.
After hearing this, Shen Anan frowned, and her mind popped up the way Li Shunzi had been courting her recently, and... Xiaoyu began to avoid her.
After a long silence, she spoke: "Aunt, Xiaoyu is not an impulsive person. She must have something on her mind. I will go talk to her later."
As for the matter of Li Shunzi, she thought it would be better not to tell her aunt for the time being, to avoid any more trouble.
Seeing Shen Anan say this, Zhao Lijuan’s heart settled down. My niece is capable, and I will feel relieved as long as she is willing to make the decision.
"Then I'll go back first!"
Zhao Lijuan stood up.
However, before leaving, she remembered one thing, "Your grandma isn't feeling well, An An, should I go back and check on her?"
Hearing this, Shen Anan sighed.
Since her 70th birthday, I have never gone back to see my grandmother.
I sent Liu Cailan to jail for half a year, hired someone to break Shen Yaozu's hand, and ruined Shen Xiuxiu's job. How can my own mother still recognize me?
"It's okay, if you're busy, forget it!"
Zhao Lijuan could guess something, so she said something and went back.
It was not until her aunt left for a while that Shen Anan came back to her senses.
Let's go back after we've dealt with Li Shunzi's problem...
However, I should talk to Xiaoyu first.
Fortunately, Xiaoyu still lives with her, so she doesn’t have to travel so far.
At night, Shen Anan closed the store and hurried home, but before she got home, she heard the voices of Shen Xiaoyu and Li Shunzi talking at the entrance of the alley.
Shen Anan's heart moved, and she stopped, deciding to listen to what they said first.
"Xiaoyu, have you really thought it through? Are we really going to get married?" There was a hint of uncertainty in Li Shunzi's voice.
Shen Xiaoyu's voice was firm and resolute: "I've made up my mind, Shunzi. I am willing to marry you."
Shen Anan was shocked when she heard this.
She didn’t expect that Shen Xiaoyu really planned to marry Li Shunzi, and sounded so determined.
The next moment, Li Shunzi was heard saying, "Then... let's go to the guesthouse tonight and get a room and get things done first."
Shen Xiaoyu’s voice suddenly became panicked: “Ah? This…this is too sudden, Shunzi, we are not ready yet.”
Li Shunzi seemed a little impatient: "What's there to prepare for? It's going to happen sooner or later anyway, isn't it better to do it now?"
Shen Anan couldn't bear it anymore when she heard this, and she walked over suddenly.
boom!
Shen Xiaoyu and Li Shunzi were both startled by her, and they separated in a hurry, with embarrassed expressions on their faces.
“Sister An An, why…why are you here?” Shen Xiaoyu asked stutteringly.
Shen Anan looked at the two of them and understood everything.
Walking to Shen Xiaoyu, Shen Anan gritted her teeth and said, "Xiaoyu, marriage is a big deal, you can't be so hasty. You and him have only known each other for a short time, how can you be so anxious to get married? Besides, things like renting a room can't be done casually."
Shen Xiaoyu lowered her head after being told by Shen Anan, her face turning red and white. Li Shunzi smiled awkwardly, not knowing what to say.
Shen Anan was too lazy to continue talking, so she took Shen Xiaoyu home.
As for Li Shunzi, he frowned and slipped away to the north of the city to meet the man behind him...
