Chapter 800
Sheng Anning didn't expect Zhou Luancheng to come back so soon. Looking at him kneeling in the yard, she couldn't help but tear up.
Zhou Shixun handed An An to Sheng An Ning, walked over to stand beside Zhou Luancheng, patted his shoulder, and comforted him silently.
Zhou Luancheng's eyes were red. He looked up at Zhou Shixun and said in a choked voice, "Brother, why didn't you tell me?"
Even if I told him, he wouldn't be able to come back in time, but it's a pity because he didn't know.
Sheng An Ning took the four children back to the house first. Zhou Hongyun and her aunt had already prepared dinner and placed it on the dining table, which was already cold by now.
Zhou Hongyun saw Sheng Anning and the children coming in and greeted them: "Haven't you eaten yet? Wash your hands and eat quickly."
Sheng An Ning shook his head and whispered, "I've already eaten. When did Luan Cheng come back?"
Zhou Hongyun sighed, "He came back in the afternoon. When he found out your mother was gone, he knelt in the yard and refused to come back no matter how much we tried to persuade him."
"Your father went out this afternoon and hasn't come back yet. Let's talk about it when he comes back. Luancheng is also a filial child. We kept such a big thing from him. He will definitely not be able to bear it now that he knows."
Sheng An Ning looked outside through the window. Zhou Shixun squatted down and the two brothers seemed to be chatting.
…
In the courtyard, Zhou Luancheng was sad and regretful that he could not see his mother for the last time: "If I had come back soon...what did Mom say when she passed away?"
Zhou Shixun shook his head: "No, I didn't suffer any pain."
Zhou Luancheng smiled bitterly: "I always thought I was the most filial. I thought that when my parents got old and I had time, I would take them out for a walk. In the end, I didn't even take them out for a meal, not even once."
"I never bought any clothes for Mom, never took her out for a meal, and she left before I even married Xiao Wan and brought her home."
The more I think about it, the more upset I feel, and the regrets I feel are endless.
Zhou Shixun listened quietly. After listening to Zhou Luancheng's story, he was silent for a while: "Your sister-in-law often said that if you want to do something, you should do it immediately. Don't wait until later. No one knows what will happen tomorrow. Why wait until later? As long as you do it, you won't regret it."
Zhou Luancheng's eyebrows twitched and he looked at Zhou Shixun in disbelief.
Zhou Shixun patted his shoulder and stood up: "Remember in the future, don't do anything that you will regret."
…
Zhou Luancheng did not eat dinner at night. He went to the cemetery early the next morning and stayed with Zhong Wenqing in the cemetery for the whole morning. He returned home at noon with red eyes.
Zhou Nanguang took Jiguang out for a walk, and Sheng Anning took four children to play the handkerchief game in the yard.
Seeing Zhou Luancheng coming in, Zhou Zhou was still very happy. He stretched out his arms and ran over happily: "Uncle, hold me, uncle, go home."
Zhou Luancheng bent down and picked up Zhou Zhou, then nodded and greeted Sheng An Ning.
Sheng An Ning didn't ask any more questions: "There's food left in the kitchen, and lunch will be ready soon. Why don't you go and rest for a while?"
Zhou Luancheng shook his head, carried Zhou Zhou over and touched An An and Mo Mo's little heads. Thinking that the three children were still very young and definitely wouldn't understand, he said directly to Sheng An Ning: "Li Ergeng's case has been solved."
Then he explained the whole process of the case to Sheng An Ning in detail.
Li Ergeng used his identity as a fortune teller to often look for children or homeless people, feed them the so-called happy water, and use their blood to support some powerful people.
But the process is very horrific. Those who drink the happy water will have an enlarged liver and eventually suffocate to death.
Sheng An Ning felt her scalp tingling after hearing this, and looked at Zhou Luancheng in disbelief: "Are they all caught?"
Zhou Luancheng nodded: "All of them have been arrested, and a public trial will be held in a few days."
If we dig deeper into this thread, we will find not only the darkness, filthiness and greed of human nature, but also various cruel methods that are outrageous.
Sheng An Ning exhaled: "It's good that the case is solved."
He didn't pay attention to the four children, three of whom were listening very attentively.
Zhou Luancheng glanced at Momo and said, "Regarding Momo, Li Ergeng said that he felt that this child looked extraordinary and had a lucky face. He originally wanted to give her to someone above him, but they didn't want her, so he sold her."
Sheng An Ning went over and picked up Mo Mo: "Fortunately, he is useless, otherwise where would we find Mo Mo."
The case was solved, and Sheng Anning finally put her worries to rest.
After lunch, Zhou Luancheng went out, probably to look for Mu Xiaowan. Sheng Anning took the four children to take a nap, and dried a large basin of water in the yard for the children to play water fights.
Zhou Hongyun sat aside and watched: "Time flies. Your mother's 57th day of mourning will come in a few days. We will have to invite relatives to come over for dinner. An Ning, you must remember these things in the future."
In other words, Sheng An Ning will be the mistress of this family from now on, and she will have to take care of all the interpersonal relationships, entertaining guests and giving gifts.
Sheng Anning exclaimed: "I have no experience, I may not be able to do it well."
Zhou Hongyun smiled and said, "It's okay if you don't have experience. You can learn slowly when the time comes. Your mother is gone. You have to take care of Luancheng and Xiaowan's wedding. You also have to take care of Chaoyang's wedding. As the saying goes, an elder sister-in-law is like a mother. You have to worry about all these."
Sheng An Ning was silent. It was no problem for her to arrange Zhou Luancheng and Xiao Wan's marriage, but it was indeed difficult for Chaoyang.
At least for now, Zhou Chaoyang is definitely not in the mood to take care of his personal problems.
When going to bed at night, Sheng An Ning whispered to Zhou Shixun about what Zhou Hongyun said today. As she spoke, she felt a little embarrassed: "Why do I feel like it's like a big family in the past, with a mistress in charge?"
Zhou Shixun directly denied it after hearing it: "You don't need to care about them. You are already so old, don't you know what you should do?"
Sheng An Ning laughed: "How can there be a big brother like you? However, we really need to prepare for Luancheng and Xiaowan's affairs. We will graduate in two years, so we have to think about where to arrange our home."
"The other day I saw the house that our unit in Luancheng was allocated. It was a tube-shaped building with several families sharing one kitchen and the toilet on the first floor. The conditions were quite poor."
Sheng An Ning forgot that when she first came here, her living conditions were also very poor, and now most people's living conditions are very poor, so being able to be assigned to a tube-shaped building is a great thing.
Zhou Shixun didn't think so: "You can come here like this, you can live in the front yard of the house or in the dormitory."
Sheng An Ning thought about it and realized that she and Zhou Shixun had no common language in this regard. Their family of five lived in a large courtyard, so there was no reason to let Zhou Luancheng and Mu Xiaowan squeeze into a tube-shaped building.
If you don't have any ideas now, what if you have children in the future? People are selfish. If you have ideas in the future and cause unhappiness after having children, it is better to solve them now.
Suddenly sitting up: "We should buy a yard."
