Chapter 28: Surprise
Shen Qingqian was puzzled, "Didn't I tell you not to say it was me?"
She had just pulled Shen Xiao aside to remind him. She did this because she didn't want her family to be dragged down, but she wasn't truly selfless, nor did she want to carry a good reputation.
Upon hearing this, Shen Xiao said, "You did it in the first place, so why can't others know about it?"
Shen Qingqian originally wanted him to take on the reputation so that his words in the team would be more convincing in the future, but he could not do anything to steal his sister's reputation.
Besides, he had such a smart and kind sister that he wanted everyone in the world to know about it, so how could he let what she did be buried?
Shen Qingqian looked up at the sky speechlessly. Okay, in her memory, the Shen Xiao brothers were all crazy about showing off their sisters, but she didn't expect that they would still be like this in this situation.
"You guys are almost done. Come over and have dinner. You can finally have something hot to drink tonight and have a good sleep at night." Mrs. Wu called out from the other end.
The conditions were so simple that it was impossible to sit around and eat together like at home. Wu was in charge of distributing the porridge in front of the stove. Each person had a little more than half a bowl, and the children had an even smaller half bowl. The porridge cooked in a large iron pot was barely enough to share.
Because there was hot porridge, the unpalatable dry food was broken into pieces and soaked in a bowl, then eaten together with rice soup. It didn't seem so hard to swallow.
Shen Qingqian was thinking about her instant noodles, so she only ate a little bit and shared the rest with Liang and Shen Zhe.
"Sister Qian, why do you only eat so little?" Mrs. Wu asked with a frown.
Shen Qingqian smiled and replied, "Aunt, I'm not hungry. I just drank some at the stove."
She did drink half a bowl of rice soup just now.
"In short, you can't let yourself suffer, do you understand?" Wu glanced at Liang and said meaningfully.
This third sister-in-law is really something. Her daughter loves her, but she doesn't know how to love her daughter? Other parents save their food rations for their children, but she is different. She just eats whatever her daughter gives her without thinking about whether her daughter will be hungry.
Shen Qingqian quickly said: "No, aunt, don't worry about me."
Liang was originally the kind of naive and innocent woman. After her husband died, she was still able to take care of her two children. In Shen Qingqian's opinion, it was not easy.
"Sister Qian, aren't you full? Come here. I'm not hungry anymore. Just eat everything in my bowl." Liang was distracted just now. When she came to her senses, she heard Wu's words. She thought Shen Qingqian didn't have enough food.
Shen Qingqian pushed the bowl back and said, "Mom, I'm full already. Please eat more."
Seeing this, Wu secretly held her forehead and waved her hand, saying, "Hurry up and eat. Go to bed early tonight."
This mother and daughter are really good. They are happy on their own, so why should she be the bad guy?
After dinner, Sheng Ze led the Shen brothers to dismantle the stove that Shen Yong had made casually, and then used the big stones he found to rebuild a stone stove.
After meeting him, Shen Qingqian had a better impression of Cheng San. The fact that he could take the initiative to find things to do at least showed that he was not here to eat for free.
Being in the wild, someone is naturally needed to keep watch at night. Sheng Ze took the initiative to ask that he be responsible for the first half of the night, and Ling Yun be responsible for the second half.
Shen Xiao said a few polite words and went to rest.
He knows his own body very well. He has been traveling intensively these days and has had to worry about his family. He has reached his limit. If he doesn't get enough rest, he may collapse at any time.
When Shen Qingqian was half asleep, she heard the system's reminder to sign in again. She subconsciously blurted out, "Sign in."
Sheng Ze at the cave entrance looked over immediately.
The next moment, Shen Qingqian suddenly opened her eyes, her eyes full of astonishment.
