Shen An Nian quickly retracted her gaze and said to Aunt Yang: "Those were things that happened when we were little. How can what we said when we were little count?"
Seeing her embarrassed expression, Aunt Yang realized she had said the wrong thing and said something to make amends, "Yes, that was all in the past. I heard you got married. Is this your lover?"
Shen Annian introduced Qin Zhengqi to them, "Uncle Li and Aunt Yang, this is my lover Qin Zhengqi."
Aunt Yang looked at him calmly. The young man looked very energetic and seemed to be an honest and responsible person.
"Comrade Qin, Nian Nian is a good girl. Treat her well in the future."
Qin Zhengqi nodded, "Aunt Yang, don't worry, I will definitely treat Nian Nian well and won't let her suffer any grievances."
Mother Shen called out to them, "Don't stand there, sit down quickly, let's eat and talk."
Everyone was invited to sit down together. Looking at the delicious food on the table, Aunt Yang asked in surprise, "Niannian, did you make all this?"
"I made it, please don't look down on my craftsmanship, auntie."
"You are so modest. With my cooking skills, there is no reason for me to look down on you.
This food looks delicious, I am in for a treat tonight."
"Everyone, please feel free to eat."
Shen Annian's cooking skills are indeed good, and the food tastes good, especially the smoked chicken, which tastes really good.
Aunt Yang said enviously, "Nian Nian's cooking skills are really good. Old Shen, you are so blessed to have such a good daughter."
Mother Shen was very happy when she heard someone praising Shen An Nian. "Niannian has been able to do things since she was young. She is very sensible at a young age and helps with housework. Every time she comes home, she will help us pass on slippers."
Shen An was embarrassed. This little thing didn't seem worth praising.
But Aunt Yang was very kind and gave face to Shen's mother's words, "That's not the case. In our compound, Nian Nian is a rare well-behaved child."
Shen An Nian was really embarrassed by their praise, "Mom, Auntie, let's eat."
Qin Zhengqi raised his glass and said, "Father-in-law and mother-in-law, thank you for raising such an outstanding daughter. I am fortunate to marry such an outstanding lover. I toast to you."
Father Shen also picked up and raised his glass, “Xiao Qin, Nian Nian has been soft-hearted since she was young, and she is kind, you have to treat her well.
If she does anything wrong in the future that displeases you, please don't hit her or scold her. Return her to us, the two of us old bones, to take care of her."
Qin Zhengqi knew that he said this to warn him.
He was not angry at all, but was glad that Shen Annian had such loving parents.
"Don't worry, father-in-law. Since I've married her, I will spend my entire life protecting her and will not let her suffer any injustice."
"Okay, I'll remember what you said. I hope you can keep your word."
Father Shen raised his head and drank the wine clean. He drank too quickly and choked. He couldn't stop coughing.
Mother Shen was both angry and amused, “Drink slowly, you thought you were still the same as when you were young, why are you drinking so fast?”
"I'm happy today. My daughter and son-in-law came to see me. I'm happy. Come, let's have a few more drinks."
Shen's mother did not persuade them anymore, and let them continue to drink by themselves. She chatted with Shen Anyian, asked her about her situation in the countryside, and asked her about Shen Anyui's performance.
Knowing that the Qin family treated them very well, Mother Shen finally felt relieved.
My daughter is married and will live with her husband's family. With a mother-in-law who is easy to get along with, her life will be easier.
After drinking, the men talked more, but it was Father Shen and Uncle Li who were talking, and Qin Zhengqi was listening.
Shen Annian listened in, and from their conversation, she vaguely understood that someone on the farm was targeting Shen's father.
"Dad, who is making things difficult for you?"
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Today is such a happy day, let's talk about something happy."
Father Shen changed the subject.
Shen Annian knew that he didn't want to say it, so she didn't continue asking, but she felt a little uncomfortable.
Father Shen has been in a high position for many years, so he naturally offended many people.
Those people were in high positions and powerful, and it would be easy for them to instruct the people on the farm to make things difficult for Father Shen.
The farm was too far away for her to be of much help.
Her mood was quite low.
At around eight o'clock in the evening, Uncle Li had almost finished drinking and said goodbye to Aunt Yang to go home. Father Shen still grabbed Qin Zhengqi to drink, and he looked very drunk.
Shen An Nian was about to go over and persuade them, but Shen's mother stopped her, "Don't worry about them, your father is happy today, let them drink more. Nian Nian, come with me."
Mother Shen brought her into the room, and Shen Annian asked her, "Mom, who is targeting you?"
Mother Shen sighed, "You don't need to ask about this. It's just a small matter. Your father and I can handle it."
They kept their mouths shut, so it was difficult for Shen An Nian to get any information. She could only persuade him, "Mom, if there is anything, you must tell me."
"We are fine. As long as you and Sui Sui are doing well, I will be relieved."
"Sui Sui and I are both fine. Sui Sui lives with me in the Qin family now. I will definitely take good care of her, don't worry."
Shen's mother also heard about this from Shen Anyui. She didn't expect that the Qin family would actually be willing to let Shen Anyui live with them. She had a better impression of her in-laws whom she had never met.
"I'm relieved that you'll take care of her."
"Ayu wrote to me some time ago. He is doing well in the army now, but the training tasks are a bit heavy. He can make you and dad rest assured."
Mother Shen nodded. At this point, what she was most worried about were these children. Knowing that they were all safe, what else did she have to worry about?
"I heard Suisui say that someone at the educated youth camp spread rumors, and you even got into an argument with them. Is that true?"
Suisui is such a big sieve, how come he says everything?
But Sui Sui has already said it. If she hides it and doesn't explain it clearly, I'm afraid Mother Shen will be even more worried.
Shen An Nian then told her about the dispute between herself and Chen Qianqian. After listening, Shen's mother sighed and said, "This girl has evil intentions, and she deserves it.
But if you make such a fuss, I’m afraid your relationship with the other educated youth will be affected.”
"I'm not afraid. I don't have a very good relationship with them anyway, and I don't want to deal with people with such bad intentions."
Mother Shen sighed secretly in her heart, this child has a righteous mind and a straightforward temper, and she doesn’t know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing.
She stood up and walked to the cupboard, taking out a small package.
"Niannian, this is the swaddling clothes you were wrapped in when we first found you.
This material is high-quality silk, which is not available to ordinary people. Your biological parents should come from well-off families.
I've discussed this with your father. If we continue like this, it will only bring trouble to you. Have you ever thought about going to find your biological parents?"
Shen's father and mother never concealed the fact that the original owner was adopted, and the original owner knew her life experience since she was a child.
The original owner was also curious about who her biological parents were, but for her, she didn't care that much.
But what did Mother Shen mean by digging out the things today? Didn’t she plan to keep her?
