In early April, the flowers planted in the courtyard bloomed.
On April 12th, Shen Anning's family moved to the place where they lived ten years ago.
Shen Anyu and Shen Anxuan had no impression of this place. They were only three years old when they moved into the tube building. However, after seeing that they had three connected rooms in a row, Shen Anxuan laughed out loud.
There are three rooms in the west wing, a study, a bedroom, and the room in the middle is the living room. The rooms are connected to each other. Once the door is closed, it becomes a separate little world!
My aunt Lin Junqi hasn't worked in the northwest for the past few years. She has been doing some family work in the Women's Federation of the family compound. It seems that it is tacitly accepted that the families of high-ranking officers join the Women's Federation. The military forces in Beijing are complicated, and the Women's Federation of the compound is not short of people, so she has been taking care of her granddaughter and the family in the past few months since she came back. Without the burden of worries, she feels much younger.
She took Xixi for a stroll in the yard, swinging the little girl on the swing. Listening to the little girl's giggles, it was like stepping back in time. "Mom, this place looks no different than before. The swing is in the same position as it was ten years ago. Back then, An Xuan and An Ning also occupied this swing every day and refused to let go."
Grandma Shen smiled and said, "Yes, it's been more than ten years. Xixi is eight years old now. By the way, Xiaoqi, the courtyard on the back street is now being renovated. When An Yan's wife gives birth to her second baby, let her stay there for the confinement period. You can also move in with her and replenish your body with her. Although your body looks good, it is still a little weak. You need to eat more good food."
Lin Junqi naturally agreed with a smile. She was adopted by the Shen family after her parents died. The Shen family was both her husband's family and her natal family to her.
"Grandma, grandma, I want to live here too. Can you all come and live here with me? Mom and Dad, come here too, and grandpa, come here too." Xixi was having fun playing on the swing. The little girl wanted to stay here. She thought that since she was small, she could just sleep with her elder and younger aunts.
Grandma Shen wiped the sweat off the little girl's face and said, "Xixi, of course you can live here, but you have to stay with your great-grandmother and grandma for a while. When the yard at the back is repaired, your parents will live there. You can live wherever you want at that time, and change places every night."
Shen Yixing and Peng Cheng are both powerful and influential, so they must live in the compound. After all, it is very inconvenient for people who have to be accompanied by guards when entering and leaving to live outside, and the couple naturally cannot be separated, so Lin Junqi and Shen Yipei naturally have to accompany them. Grandpa Shen has retired for many years, and he and Grandma Shen can live anywhere. The old couple had already agreed to live in a mixture of the compound and the quadrangle.
In the evening, the family finished their meal in the courtyard. The uncle and aunt took the eldest brother and sister-in-law back to the courtyard. Xixi said she didn't want to leave at all and stayed in Shen Anxuan's room. "I'm going to sleep with my aunt tonight. We always slept together before. My aunt must be cold tonight without me to warm her bed."
The little girl spoke so confidently that everyone laughed.
Lin Junqi watched as the sky darkened. "Okay, let's let her stay here tonight. Her clothes are here anyway. Tomorrow morning, An Yan and Man Xue will bring her schoolbag over when they go to work. The yard on the back street will be finished soon, and we'll all live here by then. I guess the little girl will want to go back."
After Mr. and Mrs. Shen moved to the courtyard, they were closer to the school. In the morning, Mr. Shen would ride his bicycle to take his wife to work and could sleep ten minutes longer than usual. Living here near the street, it was also convenient to buy breakfast.
After moving, Shen An Ning was very relaxed. She would always carry something with her when she came back from going out. Moreover, she and her parents, brothers and sisters all came home at different times, which made it more convenient for her to take out the supplies in the space. As long as no one was at home, the kitchen would be full of delicious food. Because of this, Xixi was also very happy. She had developed a big aunt's stomach since she was a child. Usually, she would eat more as long as Shen An Ning cooked.

Another week passed, and Shen Anning was overwhelmed by the classes in both Chinese and Western medicine. Last year, the basic medicine courses were all basic courses, but this semester, human anatomy, pathology, and anatomy were added. The knowledge was much more difficult. Shen Anning's roommates had to study overtime in the dormitory after returning from cram school in the evening. For a while, the learning atmosphere in the class improved a lot.
Wu Siqi watched as most of the students in the classroom had left and slumped in her chair. "Oh, finally I can take a day off. I'm going to sleep until 9:30 tomorrow morning, so you guys are not allowed to get up early."
"If I don't get up early, I will definitely sleep later than 9:30, so don't worry."
"Me too. I woke up before 9:30 and was still lying in bed."
Chen An Ning looked at them as if their bodies were hollowed out by knowledge, and casually put a handful of candies in her pocket on the table. "It's just right. The cram school is closed tomorrow. After you wake up and pack up, go directly to my house. It was difficult for you to get in when you lived in the compound before. Now that we've moved, go to my house to get to know the place. Geng Yuejiaman and the others will be there."
Several people raised their hands happily. "Okay, I want to eat chicken stewed with mushrooms tomorrow, the same one you packed for us in lunch boxes last time."
"I want to eat sweet and sour pork. The last time I ate it was during the Chinese New Year at home. It tastes like Northeast China!"
"I want to eat..."
Shen Anning nodded, "Okay, go to work and teach the students. I will prepare dinner for you tomorrow."
Separated from her roommates at the school gate, Shen Anning rode her bicycle to the police station. She had recently learned acupuncture points from her master. She had heard from her senior brothers and sisters that they had practiced on themselves. The day before yesterday, when she talked about this with Cao Jingheng at dinner, Cao Jingheng's original words were "He is a man who loves his wife!"
It happened that he was on duty tonight, so Ana Shen brought a needle bag and prepared to go get the gentleman from her family to practice first.
It was past lunchtime when they arrived at the police station. Shen Anning greeted the police officers on duty downstairs and went upstairs.
Before she could knock on the door, the man opened it before her, pulled her into the house, sat her down, and asked, "Have you eaten?"
"No, I came here straight after class."
"That's perfect. The canteen made braised fish and scrambled eggs with lettuce tonight. They're still hot."
Looking at the man who was holding chopsticks and handing her a steamed bun, Shen Anning suddenly pulled his collar and leaned in close to kiss him. Cao Jingheng's eyes lit up all of a sudden, and he began to act presumptuous while hugging him, "You took the initiative."
She pushed the man's head and said with a smile, "Wait until after dinner."
"Well, I'll eat later. Let me kiss you first. I haven't seen you for several days."
It turns out that men who act like spoiled brats have the best lives! — Because women will be soft-hearted.
