The couple felt grateful and embarrassed when they saw how thoughtful their son and daughter-in-law were.
"An An, thank you for your hard work. I asked you to take care of me while you were pregnant." Yang Qiuju said softly, her face full of guilt.
You said that you originally planned to take care of your daughter-in-law, but in the end you ended up asking her to take care of you. If you tell others about this, you'll be laughed at to death!
After returning to Hecheng, Shen An rested for two days, met his master, Dr. Zeng, and played with Shen Xiaoyu and Luo Tingting for several days before setting off for the small river ditch.
Shen Anan saw her grandmother standing at the door from a distance, waiting for her.
"Milk!" Shen Anan shouted excitedly and ran over quickly.
When Old Lady Shen saw her granddaughter, all the wrinkles on her face burst into smiles. She hugged Shen Anan tightly: "Anan, my good granddaughter, you are back."
Feeling the warmth of her grandmother's embrace, Shen Anan felt much more at ease. Nai looked at Shen Anan carefully and noticed her bulging belly.
"An An, are you... pregnant?" Old Mrs. Shen's voice was full of surprise and concern.
Shen Anan nodded, "Yes, grandma, I'm pregnant, you will have a grandson soon!"
Hearing the news, Mrs. Shen couldn't help but shed tears. She was both happy and moved: "That's great, that's great. My An An is going to have her own child."
The old lady was deeply moved.
In her impression, An An was still a child, but she didn't expect that she is now pregnant and is about to become a mother.
The two returned to the house. Old Lady Shen looked at her granddaughter with deep emotion in her heart: "An An, you have found your biological parents, and you have such a good husband. Now you are going to be a mother again. Grandma is so happy for you!"
When it was time for dinner, Old Lady Shen hurried to her own stove, holding a cooking spatula in her hand, stirring the dishes in the pot while constantly putting dishes into Shen Anan's bowl: "Anan, eat more, you are eating for two people now."
Shen Anan sat at the kang table, watching her grandmother busying around, feeling warm in her heart. She smiled and replied, "Grandma, I know, don't worry, I'm eating well."
After a while, Old Lady Shen put down the shovel, turned around and brought a bowl of steaming hot chicken soup: "Come, An An, drink some chicken soup to nourish your body. When you are pregnant, you need to keep up with the nutrition."
Taking the chicken soup, Shen Anan blew the hot air and drank it in small sips: “Milk, this chicken soup is so delicious, your cooking skills are really good.”
Old Mrs. Shen sat opposite Shen Anan, watching her granddaughter drinking the soup with relish, and the wrinkles on her face were all smiled.
"An An, I can't help you with anything else, so I'll just make you something delicious and make you happy."
After Shen Anan finished drinking the chicken soup, Old Lady Shen came over again and asked with concern: "Anan, is pregnancy difficult? If you feel uncomfortable, tell your grandma."
Hearing this, Shen Anan shook her head, "Grandma, I'm fine, nothing is wrong, don't worry."
After hearing this, Old Lady Shen nodded with relief: "Okay, okay, okay, that's good! An'an, it's rare for you to come back. Grandma is happy, really happy."
The grandparents and grandchildren chatted about what happened before they met. Shen Anan mentioned the situation in Chaocheng. Old Mrs. Shen repeatedly expressed her admiration for her granddaughter's ability and mentioned the changes in Xiaohegou.
Only then did Shen Anan realize that Xiaohegou was developing better and better.
It was also thanks to the suggestions made by Shen Anan and the leaders at the beginning that Xiaohegou's medicinal materials business embarked on the path of standardized structuring. It can be said that it laid the foundation for the subsequent development of the medicinal materials business and avoided a series of problems.
Nowadays, Xiaohegou’s medicinal materials business is no longer limited to sales to surrounding cities, but are even being sold all over the country.
The grandfather and grandson chatted until dark. It seemed like they had endless things to talk about and they couldn't stop. However, they both tacitly did not mention Shen Dacai's family.
However, the next day, when Shen Dahai's family took Shen Anan to their place for dinner, they couldn't help but mention Shen Dacai's family.
"Your father, Shen Dacai, passed away last year. He wasn't sick, but he just didn't want to live anymore. He jumped from the tube building and died just like that. The day before he died, he came to Xiaohegou to drink with me..."
Shen Dahai sighed.
"At the time, I didn't see anything wrong with him. I just heard him keep asking me to say sorry to you. Your father said that he lost his mind and didn't want you. He also said that he had never let anyone down in his life, except for you, a daughter. He said that he was very proud. In fact, he always felt sorry for you, but he thought that as a father, it was impossible to apologize to his daughter, so he just kept silent.
I tried to persuade him at that time, saying that An An was a soft-hearted person and that if he apologized sincerely, the other person might not hate him for the rest of his life. But he said it was too late.
I thought he meant that you were not in Hecheng, so it was too late. I didn’t expect that you were going to jump off the building the next day, so it was too late…”
After saying this, Shen Dahai took a sip of rice wine.
Shen Anan felt depressed when listening to what her uncle said.
When a man is about to die, his words are good.
If Shen Dacai had thought it through at the beginning and had not planned to drift away from her, she would not have cut off all contact with him.
After eighteen years of living together, is it really true that there is no love between father and daughter at all?
Impossible.
But all the things that happened later had already wiped out those feelings, leaving only a mess.
"Come on, why are you saying this?!"
Zhao Lijuan pushed her man away.
"An An, don't take it to heart. These things have nothing to do with you. He is not upset because of you. It's because of those useless people Liu Cailan and Shen Yaozu who do nothing all day long. One only knows how to listen to her parents and gives all the money she earns to them, and the other only knows how to live off her parents!
Before your father died, he was the only one in the family who earned money. You know that his legs and feet were not fully healed, and he limped all the time at the construction site carrying things for others. He looked nothing like a human being!
Your uncle and I couldn't stand it, so we gave money and talked to them, but it was no use. As soon as the money was taken, it was divided up by Chen Yaozu and Liu Cailan. One used it to eat, drink and have fun, and the other used it to give back to her parents' home. As for your father's life or death, no one cared at all.
Later, your uncle brought your father to grow medicinal herbs in our village. He kept half of the money he earned for your father, so that he could have some meat to replenish his body.
Actually, your dad is still a decent person after he passed away. He is not as bad as before. He even saved money to buy things for your grandma. Who knew that Liu Cailan found out about it and came over to have a big fight with her. She was so angry that your grandma went to the hospital for emergency treatment, and then she dragged your dad back to Hecheng..."
