Then he looked at Shen Jiaojiao and said, “Your second brother will be getting married in half a month, so you must come back no matter what.”
Haha, what a different fate.
When she got married, she had to find ways to lie and pretend. How come when it came to Shen Cong, everything was prepared for him before the time even came?
"Also, if Chen Jingzhuo can't come, you must ask his parents to come. Even if they don't have time, any one of them will do. It's been a long time since our Shen family had a happy event, so we have to make it a good one this time."
How could Shen Jiaojiao not know that Dafang said that just to get some money from the Chen family.
She had no way to speak to Chen Guorong and his wife. Not to mention that Shen Jiaojiao had no contact with them privately. Since Chen Jingzhuo left, they had basically never met alone.
They themselves looked down on Shen Jiaojiao, so how could they be so kind to her family?
"I'm talking to you, do you hear me? That will also be a face-saving thing for our parents."
Shen Jiaojiao ignored it and changed the subject.
"Mom, didn't they say last week that a child came to the steel mill looking for his family? Did you know about this?"
Dafang's expression changed immediately, and she said angrily, "What child? What about looking for relatives? Where did you hear all this? You have to intervene in something that is not your business."
She didn't expect Dafang to react so strongly, and then she thought of the doorman, who was almost the same as her.
Who is this Cheng Yao? Why does it seem like everyone knows her, yet no one seems willing to mention her?
"Hurry up and help me in the kitchen. You finally came back, and not only did you not bring anything good, but you also asked some weird questions. I'm warning you, this steel mill business has nothing to do with you, so you'd better not get involved."
Shen Jiaojiao was even more puzzled. She had never seen them react so strongly before. Dafang's reaction today surprised her.
She increasingly believed that many people in the steel plant might know about this matter, but they didn't know why, as if they had discussed it in advance. They were unwilling to tell anyone outside, even to Shen Jiaojiao, who was married.
Is there any secret behind this?
"I get it. Don't be so mean to me." Shen Jiaojiao glanced at her. "If you treat me like this again, I might not come back next time. You can't even ask me to come back."
"I don't want you to come back."
Shen Jiaojiao was speechless and went into the kitchen to cook silently.
Shen Huayi has not retired yet and usually does not come back for lunch. In order to save meal tickets, Dafang usually prepares the food and sends it to him. Shen Jiaojiao wants to know about the steel plant, so she plans to take the initiative today.
She had just gone in and was about to start, but before she could open the cabinet, Dafang quickly closed the cabinet door.
"Mom, aren't the dishes all in there?"
"Chen Jiaojiao, I found that you came back just to go against me, right? I've already told you that the things in this cabinet are for your second brother's wedding. You'd better get out quickly. I can't count on you here at all."
Shen Jiaojiao was kind enough to help, okay, since she was not welcome, she would rather be idle.
Anyway, it’s better to have ready-made food than to cook it yourself.
But she was also surprised. Wasn't it just a dish prepared for Shen Cong? Was there any need to be so defensive against her? He was treating her like an enemy.
Dafang was struggling alone inside, and from time to time she would say some bad things about Chen Jiaojiao. Chen Jiaojiao outside could hear it clearly, but now Chen Jiaojiao didn't care at all.
To her, these things are normal. If one day they stop talking about her, it will make her even more uncomfortable.
"The food is ready."
"Mom, I'll take it to Dad," Shen Jiaojiao stood up on her own initiative, "Look, the sun is so bright outside. You must be tired from buying groceries today. Just leave this to me."
Dafang looked at her doubtfully, but considering the scorching sun outside, she still handed the lunch box to her.
"Don't play any tricks on me."
"No, I promise to deliver the things to my dad safely," Shen Jiaojiao went out with the lunch box. She was still a little unfamiliar with the steel plant.
Shen Jiaojiao took advantage of the fact that it was not yet time for them to get off work and started walking around alone.
She was quite familiar with the inside, but the most important thing was that she had not forgotten the place where the bulletin board was.
It was there that I saw the story of Cheng Yao and his wife last time, and that was when I first learned about that person.
Later, she heard about it from Cheng Yang, so Shen Jiaojiao was full of curiosity about that person.
She walked there again unknowingly, looking at the heroic deeds on the bulletin board without moving again.
The paper had turned a little yellow, probably due to the rain, and the words on it were not very clear, especially the photo of Cheng Yao, which was also very blurry. Shen Jiaojiao looked at the looming shadow and felt strange.
The steel plant was the site of a fire that broke out more than 20 years ago. It is said that Cheng Yao and his wife were both employees there at the time. They were on duty that day and did not know whether it was an accidental fire or someone deliberately started a fire. But after the incident, in order to reduce the losses of the factory, the two of them resolutely rushed into the sea of fire. With their efforts, they successfully put out the fire.
But they never came out again. Occasionally, people in the family compound would bring it up, and they would shake their heads helplessly, saying that they were still young at that time and had just given birth to their children, and yet something like this happened.
No one would be able to get in if it were someone else's place. Shen Jiaojiao did not deny that at that time, let alone such a great thing as putting out a fire, even helping each other was rare.
Most people put profit first, which made Shen Jiaojiao admire them even more.
"What are you looking at?"
Shen Jiaojiao heard the familiar voice and turned around quickly.
"Dad, you're off work, I'm here to bring you lunch," she said, handing him the lunch box in her hand. "I haven't been here for a long time, and I'm still a little unfamiliar with the place, so I just wandered around inside."
Chen Huayi didn't say much. He took the lunch box and said, "Don't wander around here for no reason. It will be bad if someone sees you."
She didn't understand why this had any negative impact. Shen Huayi and Shen Wenwu both worked there, and as a family member, it was normal for her to come here to deliver meals.
But seeing that Shen Huayi's face was not very good, Shen Jiaojiao had no choice but to agree.
