Chapter 214 The World After Rewind 10 (Bonus Chapter for Donations)
Even if she does nothing, as long as she stays by his side obediently, nothing will be a problem.
He hasn't had a relapse in a long time; Ning Yan is his cure!
"So, we're really moving here?"
"Of course we have to move. There are still about two weeks before the Lunar New Year holiday, which is more than enough time to transfer the property to Xiaopeng."
"Of course, we can hold it on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year. I'll have my older brother send someone to run errands then; these things are easy."
Even the picky father, Ning, was speechless. This son-in-law was alright.
"Okay, I'll do as you say."
The family enjoyed a harmonious meal together.
After the Ning family of three finished their meal, they went downstairs. Once downstairs and the door was closed, the couple started discussing moving to City S. "In my opinion, we'll have to move sooner or later anyway, so let's just get it done before the new year," one of them said.
Ning Peng chimed in, "Yes, yes, everything's taken care of. We can stay here and have a peaceful New Year."
"Right? Right my ass! I wanted to move here early so I could find a job sooner after the New Year and earn more money to support your schooling."
Big cities offer more opportunities and higher wages. Without a house, working would definitely be more expensive. But now, the family can live in their daughter's house, which naturally saves them money. Most importantly, the educational resources here are better, so Xiaopeng can get into a better university.
Ning Peng chuckled as he was scolded, thinking that as long as the result was the same, the process didn't matter.
It wasn't easy for his parents to raise his sister and him. He and his sister are eight years apart, but they have a very close relationship. He saw the effort his sister put in to get into a good university, and she is his role model.
His sister bought a house on her own after only six months of graduation, which gave him even more motivation to move forward.
He wants to get into the best university in the country, and then earn a lot of money with his own abilities so that he can buy a house and a car and support his parents like his sister does.
Therefore, he had no objection to his sister's arrangements.
After discussing it all night, Ning's parents decided that the two of them would return to their hometown early the next morning.
After being busy at home for more than ten days, the Ning family finally returned to S City before the Chinese New Year, and thus officially settled down in S City.
The day before the Lunar New Year, the servants at the old house were given a holiday, and Shi Qingyu was sent over to deliver New Year's gifts to his in-laws.
Miao Lan went to great lengths to get her eldest son to interact with more people.
To please his father-in-law, Shi Xiaofeng took him to the market. Xiao Peng went along too, and Ning Yan came down to help carry things.
This was the first time Shi Qingyu had met his younger brother's girlfriend.
She came down in a bit of a hurry, wearing a dark red cotton nightgown underneath a pure white down jacket that reached her calves, and a pair of light blue slippers with a Persian cat embroidered on them, looking both lazy and cute.
Her hair was simply tied in a ponytail, and she was clearly not wearing any makeup, but she was still more beautiful than those celebrities on TV who were wearing makeup.
At this moment, Shi Qingyu finally saw other colors in his own world.
"Big brother, I am Ning Yan."
When Shi Qingyu saw Ning Yan's beautiful smile, he finally came to his senses. He nodded and then went to the trunk to get his things.
Ning Yan offered to help, but he refused outright, saying, "No need, I can carry it by myself. Just lead the way."
In fact, his entire trunk was packed full.
But it's okay, he can just make a few more trips himself.
What if her exposed fingers are too thin and white and get damaged by the tight strap?
How could Ning Yan really not help at all?
"Then I'll take two of the lighter ones."
Shi Qingyu ultimately chose two bags that were as light as they could possibly be: one bag containing the finest tea leaves, and the other containing cigarettes, so that she would have something to hold in her hand.
Then, carrying a large pile of things, he and Ning Yan entered the elevator side by side.
The two stood diagonally opposite each other, one at the button and the other under the camera, completing the furthest distance in this small space.
When the elevator doors opened again, the two of them walked out one after the other, and Ning's mother was already waiting at the door.
Ning Yan called out, "Mom, this is Xiaofeng's older brother. Brother, this is my mom."
Shi Qingyu nodded, "Hello, Auntie."
"Okay, okay, come in quickly."
Shi Qingyu placed the New Year's goods at the door, saying, "I'll go get some more things from the car."
Ning's mother was about to go downstairs to help, saying, "Why have so many things been delivered? I'll go and get some too."
"No need for Auntie, there's not much left, I can manage on my own."
He quickly got back into the elevator, and then single-handedly carried the rest of the items up all at once.
When Ning's mother invited him in for a chat, he didn't refuse. Ning Yan poured him some tea, but since it was their first meeting, they didn't have much to talk about. After finishing his tea, Shi Qingyu left.
...
On the day of the Lunar New Year, Miao Lan took the Ning family to the old house to celebrate the New Year.
Ning Yan originally didn't want to go, but after Shi Xiaofeng explained their family situation, she agreed.
When the family returned to the Shi family's old house, all three members of the Shi family were present.
Shi Xiaofeng's appearance is exactly like his mother's, with a delicate and frail look. His father and eldest brother, on the other hand, are tough guys. Father and son share the same face, broad shoulders, and strong physique, but one has a gentle smile and the other is expressionless.
After the two families introduced themselves and exchanged greetings, they sat down.
The Shi family prepared gifts for both Ning Yan and Ning Peng.
Ning Peng was given a learning machine and six private tutoring lessons starting in the second year of junior high school after the New Year.
Ning Peng experienced both pain and pleasure.
What was given to Ning Yan was a card.
Ning Yan liked this style, happily accepted the card, and thanked Mr. Shi and Shi Qingyu.
Shi Han treated Ning Yan with the same friendliness as he treated his wife, while Shi Qingyu's thanks to her consisted of only a simple "hmm." He also merely nodded to the Ning family members, speaking very little.
However, it wasn't that he disliked the Ning family; rather, he simply didn't like communicating with others.
Shi Xiaofeng said that Shi Qingyu suffers from emotional detachment, meaning he never smiles even at his closest blood relatives, always wearing an icy expression, like a robot.
He never smiled, never interacted with others, and wouldn't even glance at someone who died right in front of him.
It is said that in the eyes of people with emotional detachment, their world is black and white, and nothing can interest them.
Anhedonia, social withdrawal, and poverty of speech are common complications of the condition.
Therefore, one of the Shi family's two children was emotionally detached, and the other suffered from emotional disorders.
Shi Xiaofeng was born after Shi Qingyu was diagnosed with mental illness at the age of thirteen. Fearing that he would not be able to fulfill his obligation to support his parents, he suggested that his parents have another child.
As a result, Shi Xiaofeng fared even worse. He was diagnosed with emotional disorder at the age of eight. He was irritable, easily angered, and prone to throwing and hitting things. Sometimes he would have emotional breakdowns and become withdrawn.
One of Shi Han's favorite sayings in his early years was: "What sins did he commit in his past life?"
Having two children, with a 100% chance of them getting sick and conceiving, he wouldn't dare have a third, no matter how bold he is.
