Sheng An Ning was also startled, and then there was another loud bang, the sound of a cup being smashed to the ground.
I quickly comforted the three children: "Don't be afraid, it's just something that fell to the ground and broke, it's okay."
An An blinked his eyes: "It broke into pieces with a bang, how terrible."
Zhou Shixun came out of the bathroom with wet hands, also because he was afraid that the child would be scared.
Sheng An Ning was about to talk to him when she heard a sharp quarrel from upstairs. It was Leng Jie's voice: "Lu Chaoran, if you don't want to live with me anymore, just say so. We'll get a divorce tomorrow."
Unable to hear what the man whispered, Leng Jie exploded: "What do you mean? Your mother is coming to live here, so I have to serve her? What's wrong with her? She is the empress dowager, I have to serve her?"
"I can't have a baby, but why can't I have a baby? Isn't it because of your mother? If it weren't for her, would I have lost the baby? Will I be laughed at for not being able to have a baby? She wanted to come here when she was sick and asked me to take care of her. Why?"
"If you insist on having your mother come, then we will get divorced and I will move out of this house. Your Lu family is simply too bullying."
The man's voice was a little louder. "I'm not discussing this with you. Why are you so angry? What's wrong with you recently? Besides, my mother was indeed negligent when the child died, but it was also accidental. How could she, an old lady from the countryside, understand so much?"
"I am her son, isn't it my duty to provide for her in her old age? Do you want people to point at me and call me unfilial?"
Leng Jie's emotions were out of control: "You should take care of the elderly, so you should take him out. If you bring him back, you are often not at home, so you still have to take care of him? Have you ever thought about how I feel? My child is gone, and I haven't been sad for so many years? Do you know how I lived when I heard the children laughing and making noises downstairs?"
Sheng An Ning didn't expect that her family would be mentioned suddenly. Then she looked at the three children who were concentrating on eating buns. She understood Leng Jie's hostility towards her a little. Maybe it was because of the three children?
Lu Chaoran was obviously a little annoyed, and his tone was very aggressive: "How long has it been since this happened? I also said that it would be the same even if we didn't have a child, you should keep it in mind."
Leng Jie started throwing things around again, bang bang bang. Then there was the sound of a door slamming, and then someone banging down the stairs.
Sheng An Ning grinned and looked at the cold and arrogant Leng Jie. She didn't expect that she was also trapped by these trivial family matters.
He whispered to Zhou Shixun, "Are you familiar with Dr. Leng's husband upstairs?"
Zhou Shixun shook his head: "I know him, but not very well."
Sheng An Ning sighed: "Then I'll be nicer to Doctor Leng when I'm in the hospital. It doesn't seem to be easy for her either."
Zhou Hongyun came back with Zhou Chaoyang, both of them had their hands full.
As soon as he entered the door, Zhou Chaoyang shouted happily: "Oh, thanks to my aunt and I for meeting, otherwise we would have to buy more. In this way, we bought several more items."
Zhou Hongyun put the basket on the ground and rubbed his arm. "It's so heavy. This girl buys things as if they are free. How can you spend money like this? Even if you are alone now, you should save some money for your old age."
Zhou Chaoyang happily put down his things, hugged An An and kissed her, then hugged Zhou Zhou and kissed her, and when he was about to kiss Mo Mo, Mo Mo quickly dodged him and laughed: "Mo Mo actually didn't let little aunt kiss him, then let Mo Mo take care of aunt in the future."
Momo covered her face and dodged, and nodded seriously to show that she agreed with Zhou Chaoyang's words.
Zhou Hongyun didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Look at you, you are full of crooked ideas every day. But we still need to save some money for emergencies in the future."
As she spoke, she listed the things Zhou Chaoyang bought to Sheng An Ning: "Today's dishes were all bought by Chaoyang. When I wanted to spend money, she stopped me, saying that she had money. If I hadn't stopped her from buying ten kilograms of mutton, even a landlord wouldn't eat it like this. She also bought offal, I have to go and clean it up quickly."
While grumbling, he rolled up his sleeves and went to the kitchen to clean up the waste.
Zhou Chaoyang held An An and played around in the house, making the little girl so amused that she skipped breakfast and chased after her aunt to play.
Around noon, Song Xiuyan and Zhong Yuan came over and brought some mutton and beef, as well as bananas and apples.
Bananas are a rare commodity in the north, and even more so here. You can't buy them just because you have money. It depends on luck. Sometimes the supply truck happens to go to southern Yunnan and will bring back some bananas. The price is also relatively expensive.
Sheng An Ning was reluctant to buy things for the children all the time, and she had only bought them twice in such a long time.
Because there were few of them, An An especially liked to eat bananas. When she saw the bananas in Song Xiuyan's hand, she happily went over and hugged his legs: "Uncle Song, there are bananas. An An likes them. An An wants to eat some. An An is hungry."
As he spoke, his saliva was about to flow out. Sheng An Ning couldn't help but want to cover his face. It was so embarrassing.
Song Xiuyan happily picked up An An and went to the sofa to share bananas with the three children. Zhong Yuan went to the kitchen to put down his things and went over to hold Zhou Chaoyang's arm affectionately: "I heard you got promoted? Not bad, you became a team leader."
Zhou Chaoyang chuckled, a little modestly: "It's nothing special, sorry to embarrass you."
Sheng An Ning didn't know about this yet, and came over in surprise: "You got promoted? When did it happen? Why didn't you tell me when you came back? It's such a big deal, I'm sure Ning will celebrate it properly."
Zhou Chaoyang scratched his head: "Keep a low profile. We should keep a low profile. It's just being a team leader, not a very important position. If we celebrate this, won't people laugh at us?"
Zhou Hongyun came out of the kitchen after hearing this, very happy: "Oh, then we should have a good meal at noon today. I will go buy some wine later. We must drink some wine for such a happy event."
Zhou Chaoyang didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Look, you guys are making it so grand, as if I'm going to be the director. If I become the director, won't you guys have to set up a few tables to celebrate?"
Sheng Anning nodded: "Of course, the team leader is also a leader."
There always has to be a reason to drink. At lunch, Zhou Chaoyang's promotion served as an excuse to drink. After drinking, there were more topics to talk about and the atmosphere was quite good.
Zhou Chaoyang took Zhong Yuan's arm and said, "Thank you for accepting Song Xiuyan. However, if he bullies you in the future, I will definitely stand on your side. Let's deal with him together."
Zhong Yuan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll tell you when the time comes."
Song Xiuyan was a little dissatisfied and looked at Sheng Anning: "Sister-in-law, look at Chaoyang. We haven't even gotten married yet, and she's already started saying bad things about me, as if I was willing to bully Zhong Yuan. Don't worry, I'll definitely be like Zhou Shixun in the future."
Zhou Shixun, who was feeding the child hot pot, looked up, somewhat puzzled: "What does it have to do with me?"
