Chapter 285 Good Idea
When she went into the house to change her shoes, Lian Xing whispered in Shen Ci's ear, "Your brother is quite handsome, but he doesn't look much like you. You look more like your aunt."
Chen Ci smiled but said nothing when she heard this. She did look more like her mother, and Xingxing should be more like the Fu family. Although she was unwilling to admit it and had never seen what her father Fu Jun looked like, her younger brother and uncle Fu Kang did look somewhat similar.
"You're back just in time. The food is just ready. Go in, wash your hands and get ready to eat."
Shen Jingjing also came out to greet them warmly. Gu Lianxing and Pili greeted her one after another: "Auntie, we two greedy girls are here to bother you again!"
"Welcome, welcome. Auntie likes the hustle and bustle."
After entering the house, several people lined up to wash their hands. Lian Xing was the most outgoing and sweet-talking. She kept calling Aunt Shen Jingjing all the best and making her laugh non-stop.
When Shen Ci came to the dining table and saw the dinner her mother had carefully prepared, she couldn't help but exclaimed, "This is too rich, Mom, you have more dishes than we made for the Chinese New Year this year."
"There are so many people here." Shen Jingjing responded, and then quickly asked everyone to sit down and eat.
"Come to Pili. Auntie remembers that you really liked this soy sauce chicken last time. Auntie made it specially for you today. Come and try it to see if it tastes the same as last time."
As soon as they sat down, Shen Jingjing put a piece of chicken thigh into Pili's bowl, and looked at her with an especially gentle and compassionate look.
Pili nodded and thanked him quickly: "Thank you, Auntie."
Shen Xing slowly leaned her head closer to her sister and whispered, "Pili? Sis, your roommate's name is quite domineering!"
Shen Ci hit her brother on the head with chopsticks: "Behave yourself, this sister is the inheritor of Chinese martial arts, she can knock you out with one palm!"
This sentence frightened Shen Xing so much that he quickly sat up straight and looked at Pili in surprise.
Is this true or false?
Chen Ci turned to look at her mother and asked with concern: "Mom, have you adapted to being at home these past two days? Have you gone out for a walk around?"
"I've adapted fairly well, but this house is too big. I feel lonely being alone at home." Shen Jingjing said honestly, "I went to the garden to dig the soil this morning. The cold hasn't subsided yet, and the soil is frozen hard. I thought I'd plant some flowers and plants in the garden in the spring to help pass the time."
"Oh, by the way, Mom also found a large market nearby. It sells everything. It's much cheaper than the supermarket and has a wide variety of items. I bought all these vegetables there today."
"Market?" Chen Ci was slightly stunned when he heard this: "Why don't I know there is a market nearby?"
As he said this, he looked at Lianxing, and Lianxing shook her head to indicate that she had not heard of it.
Shen Jingjing explained: "Just walk straight to the east of the community. It will take about twenty minutes to get there."
"Twenty minutes?" Chen Ci was shocked. "That's two kilometers? Did you carry all these things back by yourself?"
Shen Jingjing nodded: "Yes, two kilometers is not far!"
Chen Ci shook his head helplessly: "I will enroll you in a driving school later, and you can go there to learn how to drive. Then you can drive out when the time comes."
"That's a great idea!" Shen Xing also raised her hand in agreement. "Mom's getting bored at home anyway, and the weather's going to warm up soon, so it's a good time to learn how to drive."
Shen Jingjing didn't object to this. Learning to drive was a serious matter. She had wanted to learn it before, but she just never found the time.
When the topic of learning to drive was brought up, Gu Lianxing just gnawed on pork ribs guiltily.
She studied without hindrance every day, but in the end she made no progress. Later, her coach couldn't stand it anymore and advised her to give up.
"Auntie, if you're bored at home, you can go shopping with my mom." Gu Lianxing's eyes lit up and she suggested, "My mom has a lot of young ladies around her. They're all around your age. They go shopping, get beauty treatments, have afternoon tea together, and sometimes even play golf for exercise. You've just arrived in Longcheng, so you can make more friends this way."
"Besides, our two families live so close to each other. My mother likes Ah Ci very much. She will definitely be willing to be good friends with you. Maybe you can become good friends like Ah Ci and I."
Lianxing's suggestion is quite reliable. Her mother has just arrived in Longcheng. If she wants to make new friends and expand her new social circle, then Lianxing's mother who lives next door is the best candidate.
After hearing this, Shen Ci nodded quickly: "Yes, Mom, Aunt Gu is a very nice person, you should be able to chat with each other, I will introduce you to each other someday."
Shen Jingjing didn't object. She liked Lianxing, and it was a good thing for her to get to know her mother. The two families lived close to each other, so they could visit each other more often in the future.
"Okay, invite your parents to visit our house someday." Shen Jingjing said with a smile.
At this time, Pili suddenly looked at Shen Jingjing: "Auntie, you have another good way to kill time."
As soon as Pili started talking, Shen Jingjing instantly became interested: "Oh? What's the method? Auntie, let me hear it."
"Didn't I tell you before that my master runs a martial arts school?"
Shen Jingjing nodded.
Pili continued, "The martial arts school doesn't just accept children and young people. My master opened an 'Adult Tai Chi Training Class' a long time ago, and many adults learn Tai Chi there. Tai Chi is very sophisticated and different from other traditional Chinese martial arts. It strengthens the body while also nourishing the mind and body, making it very suitable for everyone to learn."
"Mom, that's great. You can sign up to learn Tai Chi with Aunt Gu." Shen Ci expressed his support without hesitation.
Shen Jingjing was obviously very interested in Pili's proposal and nodded repeatedly: "It's indeed a good idea. When I was in Shenzhen and Hong Kong before, I often saw many elderly people practicing Tai Chi together in the park downstairs. They were all in their seventies and eighties, but they were all full of energy and walked briskly."
Upon hearing this, Pili smiled and nodded. "It just so happens that my master, senior brother, and Ah Ci are all acquainted with each other. You just go when the time comes, and I'll let my master know."
Shen Xing couldn't help but blink in shock as he listened.
Is this sister really a martial artist?
This was the first time in his life that he had seen a living person practicing martial arts!
After dinner, Pili took the initiative to go into the kitchen and take over the task of washing dishes. Lianxing ate an extra bowl of rice and was so full that she couldn't even sit up straight on the sofa.
Shen Xing took the opportunity to pull his sister over and took the initiative to explain that the bicycle had been damaged.
"Call the police?"
After hearing this, Chen Ci did not blame her brother. Her brother must be the most distressed that his bicycle was damaged by malicious violence.
Shen Xing nodded: "But the police said they might not be able to find the person."
Shen Ci gently touched her brother's head and said softly: "It's okay, nothing is more important than your studies now. If you have any news from the police, tell me and I will handle it."
I came back late today and only had time to write one chapter. I will add more tomorrow.
