Grandma Chu lives in a residential community in Huangpu District. Since the reform and opening up, Shanghai began to build new commercial housing, and Grandma Chu bought a commercial house. The house is only ten years old now, and the community has been greened, so the living environment is quite pleasant.
Chu Beichen took Su Nian and walked around the community, led her to the second floor of a small building, and knocked on the door on the left.
Soon, a clear voice sounded from inside the room, promising to open the door. The door opened, and a round apple-shaped face with a sweet smile appeared from inside. It was a young girl. When she saw Chu Beichen, she immediately smiled with joy and turned around to shout, "Grandma, Brother Chu is here!"
Chu Beichen moved aside to let Su Nian go in first. The girl was a little surprised. She looked at Chu Beichen and then at Su Nian, "Brother Chu, who is this?"
Su Nian was very sensitive and immediately realized that the girl seemed hostile to her. She looked at Chu Beichen with amusement.
Chu Beichen rubbed Su Nian's hair and pulled her into the house, "This is my girlfriend!" He did not introduce the girl who opened the door, which made her very disappointed.
Su Nian knew that this girl was most likely the nanny at her grandmother's house.
Grandma Chu was watering the flowers on the balcony. She was a kind-looking old lady with gentle features. She was not tall, and her hair was snow-white and permed into exquisite curls.
She saw Chu Beichen and immediately dropped the kettle, wiped her hands, and walked over. "Beichen, you're here? Who is this?"
Chu Beichen then pulled Su Nian in front of him and introduced her seriously, "This is Su Nian, a student at Quzhou Medical College." He put his arm around the old lady's arm and said to Su Nian with a smile, "This is my grandma!"
Su Nian greeted her immediately, and received a lot of praise from Grandma Chu. "What a pretty girl! Are you tired from the long car ride?"
Su Nian smiled and shook her head: "Not tired, grandma!"
"Come and have dinner," Grandma Chu led the two of them to the dining room. "You were in the car all night last night. After dinner, go and have a good rest!"
At this time, the morning sun had risen, and there were a few white roses in a glass bottle on the dining table, and the food was placed next to them.
Chu Beichen pulled out a chair for his grandmother and let Su Nian sit next to him.
"This is a steamed dumpling. If you like sweet food, eat this cake!" Grandma Chu reminded.
Su Nian quickly agreed and told Grandma Chu to just eat and not to bother her.
The bowl contained salty soy milk, which was very fragrant. Su Nian took a sip, and Grandma Chu asked considerately, "Are you used to it?"
"It smells good and tastes great!" Su Nian took another sip.
"Don't always drink soy milk, eat a fried egg," Grandma Chu arranged.
Chu Beichen immediately used the serving chopsticks to pick up a fried egg for grandma, and then gave one to Su Nian.
Nanny Xiaohong stood at the kitchen door and looked out with a look of loss in her eyes. She used to eat with Grandma Chu, but today when Grandma Chu's relatives came, there was no seat for her at the table.
She walked to the chopping board and started chopping the meat fiercely.
Grandma Chu then remembered the nanny and called Xiaohong to come for dinner, but there was no response.
Chu Beichen smiled: "Grandma, someone came to our house today, Xiaohong must have gone to the kitchen to eat, you see, she didn't even serve herself some soy milk!"
Grandma Chu took a look and saw that there were four people in total, but there were only three bowls of soy milk on the table.
They were actually wrong. These three bowls were prepared by Xiaohong for herself, Grandma Chu, and Chu Beichen. She never thought of preparing one for Su Nian.
Xiaohong has been working as a nanny for Grandma Chu for a year. Grandma Chu does not live with her children, so Xiaohong usually eats at the same table with Grandma Chu and eats whatever Grandma Chu eats.
However, when family members come over, such as Chu Beichen's uncle and his family, Xiaohong will take the initiative to avoid them. Although it is a new society, there is still a difference between master and servant.
But after seeing Su Nian today, especially seeing Chu Beichen's affection for her, Xiao Hong couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness. She wouldn't even bother to put a bowl on the table for Su Nian to eat, not even to pour her a glass of water!
They are all young girls, why should Zhang Xiaohong be destined to serve others?
