"Brother still understands me!" Shen Nanqing had a gentle smile on his face, his eyes full of warmth.
Mother Shen came out of the kitchen and saw them talking and laughing, full of relief.
Last time, Qingqing and her father had a very unhappy quarrel because of the Li family's affairs. Maybe he was angry and had not come back for a long time. Her father was a principled person and refused to give in, so the relationship between father and daughter remained at a stalemate.
She said that Li Haoxuan was indeed a good person. He had watched her grow up and taken care of Qingqing. However, the people and things in his family were really hard to describe, and it was definitely not a good destination.
There was no overnight grudge between father and daughter. It seemed that everything was settled now.
She wiped her hands on her apron, smiled, and said loudly, "Stop chatting for now, come and eat!"
"Yes, yes, let's eat first." Father Shen walked to the dining table, stretched out his hand to pull out a chair, and called Shen Nanqing: "Daughter, come and sit here and try the fish your mother made specially for you."
Su Huaxiao echoed, "You said my little sister is lucky. When I went to buy fish, there was only one left. If I was a little later, there would be no more."
"Thank goodness my mom and sister-in-law are here. I will definitely try it." Shen Nanqing said with a smile.
Parents all like others to praise their children, and Shen's father is no exception. He glanced at the second child's wife with approval, turned around and went to the kitchen to help serve the dishes. His movements were very skillful, and it was obvious that he helped a lot.
The meal was very lively, with the family sitting around the table, chatting with each other, and the occasional childish talk from the children making everyone laugh.
After dinner, Shen Nanqing took out the gifts she bought for her family. She bought some candies and snacks for the children, and exquisite handkerchiefs and vanishing cream for her mother and sister-in-law.
In fact, Shen Nanqing felt that cheongsam was more suitable for Shen's mother's temperament, but unfortunately cheongsam did not conform to the current social spirit.
Shen Nanqing thought of a saying, time never defeats beauty, her beauty was undoubtedly inherited from Shen's mother.
Mother Shen has fair skin, delicate features, and long eyebrows like a crescent moon, revealing gentleness. Time and life have left traces on her, but it is still difficult to conceal her temperament as a lady from an ordinary family.
"Is this for me?" Father Shen was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that he actually received a gift. In the past, Shen Nanqing would only bring some food to the children when he came back. He was nothing.
In fact, it’s not that Shen Nanqing didn’t want to give it to her, it’s just that she spent money like water. If she didn’t ask Xu Ruyan to pay her back, she would be really poor.
"Of course it's for you." Shen Nanqing stuffed the pen into Shen's father's mouth. His mouth was covered with calluses, but it was broad and warm, which made people feel at ease.
Shen Nanqing: "You should have changed the one you usually use. As a factory director, it's so embarrassing to shake it before writing every time."
Father Shen felt warm in his heart, and his rough fingers gently stroked the pen. It was not that he could not afford the pen, but that pen had a different meaning to him.
That was the first prize he won after joining the factory. Over the years, he has been reluctant to exchange it because he has grown attached to it.
He took out the pen pinned on his chest, pinned the one given by Shen Nanqing on it, and stroked his chest carefully, cherishing it. I wonder if he even inlaid the pen with gold.
Seeing that his father and mother were immersed in the emotion, the atmosphere in the room seemed to be overflowing with warmth. With a smile on his face, he shouted, "Hey! Little sister has grown up! Everyone here has received gifts, so what about mine? Little sister can't be partial."
"Don't worry! I won't forget you, my second brother, no matter who I forget." Shen Nanqing said jokingly, handing over a beautiful notebook, "Seeing that you work so hard, you always use this notebook to record. I hope you can use it to record your achievements in the future and your career will rise all the way."
Shen Nanru liked to hear this, and said with a smile: "Your second brother loves you well."
The Shen family was full of warmth and affection, while the Li family was in a very low mood.
"Did Shen Nanqing really say that?" Li Gaoyi raised his eyebrows slightly, took a deep breath, and then exhaled, the air was filled with smoke.
"How could I lie to you?" Li Yanhong was very sure. Thinking of the position of deputy factory director, her heart seemed to be shrouded in a shadow, and her eyes flashed with resentment.
"Boss, what do you think we should do if we bring her here? I'm afraid that girl won't say bad things about you in front of her father when she goes back!" Li Yanhong was very worried.
There was a gloomy flash in Li Haojun's eyes. It was all because of his mother who doted on Li Haoxuan too much and spoiled him so much that he couldn't make sense of himself.
He has been in the position of team leader for too long. If his father cannot be promoted to deputy director, he will never have a chance to make a breakthrough.
"With Shen Nanqing's temper, he will definitely say bad things about Dad." Li Haojun's narrow eyes narrowed slightly: "I can't control much now, let's go to Shen's house to find Shen Nanqing and bow our heads, stabilize Shen Nanqing, and make plans for the rest after my younger brother comes back."
"This is the only way." After saying that, Li Gaoyi threw the unfinished cigarette to the ground and stomped his foot, and the fire went out.
All the important things in her house were kept in locked cupboards, so it would be inappropriate to leave them empty when asking someone to do something for her.
Li Yanhong took out a key from her trouser pocket, opened the cupboard door, and took out the pastries she had bought for Li Haoxuan last time.
She put the cakes in the basket, hesitated for a moment, opened the bag and took out some, muttering, "Don't take them all. Xiaoxuan might come back tomorrow and he'll like these cakes. I have to leave some for him."
Seeing his wife dithering, Li Gaoyi became impatient: "Don't dither, hurry up."
Li Guifen looked at her mother-in-law with resentment as she locked the cupboard. The two children could only stare at the basket. She couldn't help feeling jealous and pinched Xu Haojun hard.
Li Haojun shook her hand away, glared at her coldly, and told her not to do anything stupid.
It's true that her mother is partial to him, but her father values her as the eldest son very much, so he turns a blind eye to her actions, just to use this opportunity to get in touch with Shen Wenbo.
As long as his father's position as factory director is stable, the position will be given to him sooner or later.
The moonlight was like water, and the Shen family's small house was hidden in the swaying shadows of the trees. The dim light shone through the window, reflecting the figures inside the house.
I don't know what they are talking about in the room, but laughter can be heard from time to time.
Li Yanhong stared at the two-story building and the flowers and plants in the yard. She clenched her hands unconsciously while carrying the basket. The jealousy in her heart was like a surging tide.
If Ye Qilan hadn't shamelessly seduced Shen Wenbo, the woman in this small detached house would not be her.
"Is Director Shen home?" Li Gaoyi knocked on the gate with his back hunched, shouting in a rough and hoarse voice, his body casting a distorted shadow in the dim light.
The laughter in the room stopped abruptly. The sound had a smoky texture, and each word seemed to be squeezed out from a broken bellows, making people feel extremely uncomfortable.
The Shen family is too familiar with it.
