"What good children!" Old Mrs. Li exclaimed. Looking at these lively children, she thought of her son, who was in his mid-twenties and still hadn't found a suitable wife in the countryside. She was quite worried.
If her son had married earlier, her grandchildren would be this age too.
Staring at the family's backs, I thought about how happy Jiang Mingjing really was. Before, he was all alone, and everyone felt sorry for him and advised him to remarry. Now, he is the real winner in life.
This woman is a good person. She gave birth to two good children and raised them very well. Her son is also successful; he became a regimental commander at a young age.
"Mom, will Brother Yuanyuan forget about us?" Danian asked his mother curiously.
I haven't seen my brother Yuanyuan for a long time. I wonder if he has made new playmates and forgotten about his younger siblings.
Da Nian used to be Yuan Yuan's little fanboy.
"No, Yuan Yuan will definitely be looking forward to you guys coming to play with him. When you see Yuan Yuan, play with him properly," Shen Qiaoyue replied to Da Nian's question.
"Okay!" Da Nian said happily.
On the bus, seeing that Shen Qiaoyue had a child with her, a woman kindly offered her her seat. Shen Qiaoyue sat down and said to the woman, "Thank you, comrade."
"You're welcome," the girl replied with a smile and a hint of shyness.
Da Nian looked up at the plump and beautiful older sister who was giving up her seat and said, "Sister, you are so pretty."
"Thank you, little brother," the woman replied shyly to Da Nian.
"Pretty sister, can I treat you to some candy?" Da Nian took a piece of candy out of his pocket and handed it to the woman with expectant eyes.
Seeing how enthusiastic Da Nian was, the girl looked down, handed her some candy, and said with a smile, "Thank you, you can keep the candy."
These days, candy is really precious. Children's candy is definitely saved up by their families for them. As a girl, she certainly can't accept it.
"Sister, this is for you. I have plenty more in my pocket, so please take it." Da Nian happily placed the candy in the pretty sister's hand.
"This..." The woman looked at Shen Qiaoyue somewhat embarrassedly.
“Comrade, this is from your son, just take it.” Shen Qiaoyue supported her son’s actions.
"Thank you, little brother." The girl put the candy in her crossbody bag, reluctant to eat it.
The woman got off the bus very quickly.
"Mom, why won't that girl eat the candy I gave her? Does she think I'm a bad person?" Danian asked his mother curiously.
Shen Qiaoyue pinched Da Nian's cheek and patiently explained, "It's not convenient to eat in the car, and you might accidentally choke on it, so I want to wait until I have time to eat it so I can enjoy the deliciousness of the candy."
"So that's how it is." Da Nian suddenly realized.
The girl's clothes were faded from washing and she was dressed in thin clothes. She treasured that one piece of candy as if it were a precious treasure, which suggests that she was struggling financially.
These days, there are still many people who don't have enough to eat or wear.
This is true for people in big cities, but it is even more difficult for those in remote areas.
Shen Qiaoyue maintained the dignity of an adult, but felt increasingly bitter inside.
Heaven gave her a loving heart, but not the ability to redeem her.
That's human nature.
After arriving at the station, I took the children off the train.
"Xiao Nian?" As soon as they got out of the car, they heard Shen Qiaoyu's voice. Seeing Xiao Nian's appearance, he was overjoyed. "Xiangxiang, Uncle is here!"
When Shen Qiaoyu heard that her younger sister was going to take her child back to her parents' home, she timed it perfectly and went to the bus stop to wait.
After waiting for half an hour, the children finally arrived.
"Uncle!" Xiao Nian was overjoyed to see her uncle, broke free from her father's hand, and ran over.
"Uncle, Uncle." Just thinking about it makes me very happy.
Seeing her niece and niece, Shen Qiaoyu walked over and picked up the two girls.
He happily kissed the two girls on the cheeks again and again.
Da Nian frowned and stared at her uncle's actions. Wasn't it said that boys shouldn't kiss girls? Why was her uncle kissing her sisters like this, even though her parents didn't object?
"Uncle, why won't you hug me?" Da Nian asked her uncle with a wronged expression, not understanding what was going on.
“You’re a boy, you don’t need your uncle to carry you.” Shen Qiaoyu, this rough old man, completely disregarded Da Nian’s feelings.
He wanted a daughter, but his wife gave birth to a son. The boy was not only naughty, but also very difficult to manage, which always made his wife sad.
Shen Qiaoyue knew that her brother liked daughters. He treated Xiao Nian and Xiang Xiang as his own children, and treated Danian the same as his son.
Shen Qiaoyue tugged at Lu Chen's sleeve, and they exchanged a glance.
Lu Chen understood his wife's intention. He looked down at Da Nian and, sure enough, Da Nian had been very depressed since being rejected by his uncle.
"Come here, little sister has her uncle to hold her, and big brother has his dad to hold him." Lu Chen picked up Da Nian and kissed him as well.
Da Nian happily covered the spot where his father had kissed him and grinned, wrapping his arms around his father's neck.
Children can be easily satisfied sometimes.
Shen Qiaoyue stroked Da Nian's head and looked at Shen Qiaoyu, asking, "Are Mom and Dad alright?"
"It's great. Knowing you were coming today, Dad came back from work and started preparing early this morning. He made the ribs and pig's trotters that you and Xiaoying like." Shen Qiaoyu said, her heart aching, "He even prepared the things your sister-in-law likes, but there's nothing I like."
“You like vegetarian food, so there’s the most vegetarian food on this table. What? Are you worried there won’t be enough for you?” Shen Qiaoyue retorted.
"Hey~" Shen Qiaoyu was very unhappy after hearing this. What kind of talk was that?
