Shen Anyian was a little nervous about going to see Shen's father and mother.
After all, she was a cross-dresser, and she was worried that Shen's father and mother would see that she was a fake.
Shen Anyui is young and easy to fool.
But Shen's father and mother must know the original owner very well, and Shen's father used to be in a high position, so he must be a shrewd person. It would be difficult to deceive him.
She needs to think carefully about how to cover it up when the time comes.
After a thirteen-hour train ride, they finally arrived in Wu City, and then took another five hours by car to reach Donglin Farm.
Donglin Farm is very remote and strictly guarded. Everything they bring must be inspected one by one before it can enter the farm.
Qin Zhengqi walked in front carrying his things. Shen Annian asked people along the way and finally found the dormitory.
As I approached the dormitory, I could see two people from afar looking over here. They looked familiar.
Shen Anyui's eyes lit up, and he shouted "It's Mom and Dad", and ran towards the two people.
After a whole day and changing four or five buses, they finally saw the person.
Since Shen's father and mother knew that Shen Annian was coming today, they asked for leave and had been waiting for them to come back early.
The moment she saw her two daughters, her nose felt a little sore. Mother Shen hugged Shen Anyui and said, "You have grown up and become taller."
Shen Annian walked over slowly. The person in front of him was completely different from the person in the original owner's memory.
In my memory, Father Shen was elegant and capable, and Mother Shen was exquisite and dignified, but the person in front of me was full of vicissitudes of life, with dark skin and a very shriveled figure.
Father Shen's originally black hair has now turned a little gray, and he is so thin that he is almost unrecognizable.
Mother Shen is forty-five years old this year. She is a very beautiful middle-aged woman. She no longer has any of the grace she had in the past.
Before she met the person, she was very worried that Shen's father and mother would see through her identity.
But the moment she saw them, a familiar feeling surged in her heart, making her forget her worries, and her heart was filled with reluctance and heartache.
"Mom and Dad, we're here to see you."
Mother Shen, with tears in her eyes, walked forward and held her hand.
The hands that were once well-maintained have now become very rough, with thick calluses on the palms. The only thing that remains unchanged is the warmth.
Shen Annianhui held her hand and said, "Mom, I'm sorry, I'm late."
"What are you talking about, silly kid? Didn't I tell you to just take good care of yourself? Why did you take such a big risk to come and see us?"
"I didn't see you, and I was worried."
"You silly child, your father and I are living well here, don't worry."
Father Shen was much calmer than Mother Shen. After greeting his daughter, his eyes fell on Qin Zhengqi.
He has an upright posture, like a pine or cypress rising from a cliff, with an extraordinary bearing. If Qin Zhengqi was just an ordinary person, he would definitely praise him as a young man with great potential.
But he has another identity, that is Shen Annian's husband. Because of this identity, Shen's father's requirements for him are a bit stricter, and the more he looks at him, the more he dislikes him.
Children are the best in the eyes of their parents.
Qin Zhengqi is good, but not good enough to match his daughter.
The son-in-law he wanted was a gentle and considerate man who would obey Shen Annian in every way and with whom he knew each other well.
But this man was as cold as a piece of steel, which was completely different from his ideal son-in-law.
While he was observing Qin Zhengqi, Qin Zhengqi was also observing her. When she met his gaze, Qin Zhengqi nodded slightly.
"Father and mother-in-law, Nian Nian and I got married in a hurry and didn't have time to inform you two. I was impolite, so I came here specially to apologize."
Hearing his words, Father Shen became even more upset.
His daughter is only 19 years old this year, very young, but she hurriedly married a local man after going to the countryside for half a year.
Although Shen Anyan said that Qin Zhengqi saved her and they would get married, he felt that things might not be that simple.
"If you have anything to say, come inside and talk."
"Yes, let's go in first." Mother Shen took the things in Shen Annian's hand and complained, "We are here, why do you still bring so many things?"
"These are specially prepared by my mother-in-law when she heard we were coming. They are some mushrooms and smoked chicken, which are all local specialties. I brought them here for you and dad to try."
“They’re thoughtful.”
Mother Shen welcomed them in and poured them some water.
It was already noon, and Shen's mother had already prepared the meal, including sweet potato porridge, a plate of shredded potatoes, stir-fried vegetables, and a plate of fried fish.
"There's nothing good at home, so you can just make do with a couple of bites."
Shen Annian knew that they felt sorry for him, so he must have taken out the best things in the house.
This shows how hard their lives are.
"I'm just hungry and I can eat something."
Shen Anyian pulled Qin Zhengqi to sit down. Shen's father glanced over and was a little dissatisfied, but he didn't say anything in the end.
Mother Shen gave her a small fish and said, “Eat more.”
Shen Annian couldn't bear to disappoint her, so he picked up the small fish and put it in his mouth.
How can I describe the taste? I can only say it's very familiar.
Mother Shen is not a good cook. When she cooks occasionally, she has to be nice to her before she can eat it.
Later she realized that she had no talent for cooking, so her family ate in the cafeteria and occasionally went out to restaurants.
There are really no conditions here, so they can only cook for themselves, but their cooking skills have not improved much.
Qin Zhengqi has been in the army for many years and has eaten everything, so he doesn't have too many requirements for food.
After being tortured for so long, Father Shen has become immune to it.
For him, as long as the food is not burnt and is cooked, he can eat it.
Although Shen An Nian felt that the food was not tasty, she would not ruin the atmosphere because of such a small matter, so she did not say anything.
Shen Anyui's way of resisting was to say that he was full, give his remaining food to Shen's father, and tell Shen's father to eat more.
Mother Shen had no idea that she was playing tricks, and thought that she was uncomfortable because she had been sitting in the car for too long, so she quickly asked her to rest in her room.
Father Shen coughed from time to time at the dinner table. Shen Annian asked him what was wrong, and Father Shen just said it was a minor problem and it was nothing serious.
But he kept coughing, and it didn't seem like a minor illness at all.
"Dad, have you been to the hospital? What did the doctor say?"
"It's just a minor problem, why go to the hospital? Just rest for a few days and it will be fine."
It seems that they are reluctant to even go to the hospital. Fortunately, she has a spiritual spring, which can be used for Father Shen to drink.
Although Lingquan is not a medicine, it is very beneficial to the human body. It can help nourish his body and will be much more comfortable than him enduring it like this.
In the end, they finished all three meals. After lunch, Father Shen called Qin Zhengqi out under the pretext of digesting the food.
Qin Zhengqi knew that he had something to say to him, so he went out with him without saying a word, while Shen Anyian chatted with Shen's mother.
"Niannian, tell me the truth, what's going on between you and Captain Qin?"
Shen An Nian played dumb, "What's going on? We are in love freely and voluntarily become revolutionary partners."
"Nonsense, how long have you been in Dahe Village? How could you suddenly get married? And you want to lie to me?"
