The machinery factory's staff compound is very large, with bungalows made of blue bricks and gray tiles, as well as tube-shaped buildings with a simple appearance.
Going deeper, there are several small single-family houses that are particularly eye-catching. These small single-family houses are provided by the factory for some senior technical backbones or leaders.
Shen Nanqing's family is one of them, but her house is said to be her mother's dowry. She doesn't know the specific situation. Her parents seem to be very secretive when talking about this matter.
"Nanqing is back." An aunt was standing at the door of her house calling her children to come home for dinner, and saw Shen Nanqing and greeted her with a smile.
Most people at this time were warm and simple, and Shen Nanqing liked this atmosphere very much.
Ana Shen smiled and nodded, and replied: “Yeah, I’m back.”
My aunt asked again, "You haven't eaten yet! Come to my house and have something to eat."
Ana Shen shook his head, “No, I’ll go home and eat.”
"That's right. Your mother mentioned you yesterday. She missed you very much. It's rare for her to come back. You should go back soon." The aunt didn't see the child come back, so she closed the door and walked out of the yard, preparing to go to the place where the child often played to catch him.
Shen Nanqing's mother, Ye Qilan, is an elegant and intellectual woman. The small yard is full of flowers, plants and trees, with different scenery in every season.
It was a summer evening, the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the courtyard, giving everything a warm glow, the jasmine flowers bloomed quietly, and the breeze blew by, filling the air with sweet fragrance.
Shen Nanqing pushed open the courtyard door and went in. There was no one in the living room. There was a sound of running water in the kitchen. He looked out and saw the busy figures of Shen's mother and second sister-in-law.
"Little sister!" Su Hua turned around and saw Shen Nanqing, her eyes widened instantly, revealing surprise. She wiped her wet hands on her apron and went to greet her, "You didn't even tell the family when you came back, so I can prepare your favorite dishes in advance."
With a "bang", a crisp sound suddenly came from the kitchen.
Shen's mother rushed out and saw that the person coming was Shen Nanqing. Her eyes were instantly lit up with surprise. She stepped forward to hold her daughter's hand, but when she thought of the water on her hand, she retracted it, her voice trembling slightly with excitement: "Qingqing, why did you come back suddenly? Are you tired from the journey?"
Shen Nanqing smiled. How could he be too tired? We all lived in the same city, not very far away.
"I'm not tired, I just miss you." She held Mother Shen's hand in front of her, her tone revealing that she was being intimate and coquettish without even noticing it.
Before even stepping into the compound, Shen Nanqing's heart was in his throat, his heart was in turmoil, he didn't know how to face it, every step was filled with hesitation and uneasiness.
It can be seen that the moment she saw Shen's mother, surprise and love welled up in her mother's eyes, wrapping Shen Nanqing like a warm current, which was a feeling she had never experienced in her previous life.
Shen Nanqing keenly noticed that Shen's mother carefully retracted her hand, and she couldn't help but shake it.
Mother Shen gently stroked Shen Nanqing's hand, as if to pass on all her thoughts and love, which made Shen Nanqing's originally tense heart relax instantly. For no reason, she easily accepted this affection, and her eyes couldn't help but feel slightly hot.
Su Hua watched this scene with a smile on his face, "Mom, my little sister likes fish the most. I'll go see if there's any left. If not, I'll go to the cafeteria and get some ready-made fish."
"Oh, I would have forgotten if you hadn't said it." Mother Shen came back to her senses, a little annoyed. She patted her forehead, and was so busy looking at her daughter who hadn't returned home for a long time that she forgot about it.
"Besides fish, see if there is anything else and buy a few more." With that, Shen's mother turned and ran straight to the bedroom, and soon came out with the meat ticket and money.
Su Hua did not shirk her responsibility, and took the money and ticket readily, took off her apron and went out.
"Qingqing, go upstairs and rest for a while. I'll call you down after I've prepared the meal." Mother Shen said with a smile, and she was obviously in a very happy mood.
Ana Shen couldn't sit back and enjoy the fruits of others' labor, so he followed her to the kitchen, rolled up his sleeves and wanted to help, but was pushed out by Mother Shen.
Seeing that she really couldn't help, Shen Nanqing prepared to go downstairs to take a shower. It took an hour and a half to take the bus from the Workers' Group to her home. The bus smelled really sour in summer.
Shen Nanqing raised her arm and sniffed. If she didn't ask, she wouldn't know. She felt that she was rotten.
Her small detached house has a living room, kitchen, bathroom and a bedroom on the first floor. This bedroom is where Shen's father and mother live.
Her room is on the second floor.
There are a total of 3 rooms on the second floor. My second brother and his wife have one, and my nephews have two. She is the spoiled little princess and naturally has one room to herself.
When she opened the door, she saw that the things in the room were neatly arranged. It was obvious that someone cleaned the room regularly. Even though they knew she would not come back, the bed still changed with the seasons, changing to summer bedding and mats, as if to tell her that there would always be a place for her at home.
In her previous life, her home was always empty and cold. Sometimes she would be away for months, and what greeted her was a house full of dust.
But at this moment, the care of her family was like fine sunshine, spreading a warmth from the bottom of her heart, dispelling her inner loneliness and making her feel a complete sense of belonging.
Several little boys gathered in front of the door, their faces flushed, shouting at the top of their lungs: "Auntie, come out for dinner!" Their voices were clear and loud, full of warmth.
Shen Nanqing was awakened by the sound. She took a while to respond and went home.
Maybe she had completely accepted everything here and had no burden on her body. After taking a shower, she just wanted to sit for a while, but she fell asleep without knowing why.
It was completely dark at this moment. She found the switch skillfully in the dark and the room was lit up instantly.
The noise outside the door continued. She didn't dare to delay. She smoothed her messy hair, tidied her clothes, and opened the door.
The moment the door opened, Shen Nanqing was surrounded by children. They looked up with red faces, bright eyes, and shouted in unison, "Auntie, eat."
Shen Nanqing was startled at first, then he laughed. Shen Man, who was the tallest, touched his head and said, "Let's go, we'll go downstairs now."
Chen Man was the only one favored, and he raised his chin proudly towards his two brothers.
At the moment, the other two were unhappy, and Shen Nanqing shook his head helplessly, and could only treat them equally.
The aroma of food filled the air, and Father Shen and second brother Shen Nanru also came back.
Father Shen is tall and burly, and his long-term factory life has given him a simple and resolute temperament. The moment he saw Shen Nanqing, his originally tough body instantly had a different temperature.
"My daughter, you finally remembered to come back to see your dad." His eyes were concerned, unable to hide his joy and concern, he strode to meet her, rubbed his clothes with his strong hands, then gently landed on Shen Nanqing's shoulder, raised the corners of his mouth, and smiled in a simple manner, and said, "You are too thin, you can tell you didn't eat well."
There is indeed a kind of thinness, that is, your parents think you are thin.
Shen Nanru's face was full of smiles, his eyes were full of doting on his sister, and his tone was brisk and firm: "How can you lose weight? I think my little sister is just right, neither fat nor thin."
