"Eat more, this is delicious. Look how thin you are." Meng Ning kept putting food into Shen Qingli's bowl, fearing that she would not be full because she was too slow to eat.
"Sister, I'm eating." Shen Qingli thought the chef's cooking skills were pretty good. At least she could probably replicate the taste after tasting it.
"Sister, have you and Meng Xiao known Brother Fu for many years?" Shen Qingli really wanted to ask, but she didn't ask directly, so she added Meng Xiao in a roundabout way.
Meng Ning was eating with his eyes downcast. Hearing this, he looked up at the place where Fu Chen had just sat, and said in a nonchalant tone:
"Ah? Him? Grandpa Fu also lived in the compound before, but now his health is not good, so he moved to a nursing home. So we have been playing together since we were young. Fu Chen..."
Meng Ning paused his chopsticks, didn't say anything, glanced at the empty seat opposite him, lowered his eyes, and ate his food in a casual manner.
She suddenly remembered that when Fu Chen was a child, he was not so prickly at first. His parents separated when he was still young. His mother abandoned him and went abroad with her first love.
It was from then on that he became a bit more reserved. Although he used to be a cold and cruel little boy, at least he was not so withdrawn.
When the younger brother was very young, he liked to play with this older brother. Fu Chen ignored everyone else, but he never objected to her and Meng Xiao following him.
Later, when she was older and could understand what was said, she began to hear other children making fun of her. They said Meng Ning was a child bride, a child marriage, and was old-fashioned and feudal.
At first she didn't care, but she couldn't stand what others said, which aroused her rebellious psychology.
So from then on, she intentionally kept a distance from him and no longer got so close to him. From then on, Fu Chen became even colder when he saw her.
Later, everyone grew up and was no longer as close as they were in childhood, but they would still nod and talk to each other when they met. Meng Xiao and Fu Chen always had a good relationship.
But for some reason, even though they didn't meet very often, Fu Chen always made sarcastic remarks to her whenever they met, which made her very angry.
He always had a cold face every day as if she owed him money, and he would speak to her very harshly sometimes. Meng Ning was born proud and arrogant, and she didn't want to put her face to his cold butt.
Later, when she grew up, she met Ma Fei, who would coax her gently and speak to her in a polite manner.
Unlike Fu Chen who always had a cold face towards her, she had many quarrels with her family, and finally she ran to Fu Chen's workplace in anger and made a scene.
At that time, Fu Chen was just a team leader. She angrily told him to break off the engagement in front of his leaders, his subordinates, and his colleagues!
She still remembered that afternoon when Fu Chen stared at her silently for a long time. His eyes seemed calm, yet also seemed to be restraining emotions that she could not understand.
But in the end he nodded and agreed to cancel the engagement. She remembered that a few days later he applied for a transfer to another place, and after that, there was no more.
She didn't say anything else, and Shen Qingli didn't ask any more questions. It would be impolite to ask further questions when someone stopped talking about something.
Perhaps sensing that the two of them had grown quieter, Meng Ning smiled and said to Shen Qingli, "After dinner, accompany me to the department store to stock up on some daily necessities."
"OK."

"Grandpa, is my sister-in-law back?" Meng Kexin had decided yesterday to take a day off today, rest for a day and then come to see her grandfather.
Unexpectedly, as soon as I arrived, I saw the grandfather taking care of the two little ones under the eaves at the door to enjoy the cool air.
The old man recognized the sound without even looking. Without even raising his head, he gently took out the little fist that An An had stuffed into his mouth.
"You haven't come to see an old man like me for so long, and the first thing you ask is your sister-in-law, huh."
"Grandpa, what are you talking about? Why would I come to give you clothes if I don't miss you?"
Meng Kexin took out a gray Tang suit from her bag and handed it to the old man:
"Grandpa, go try it. I bought the fabric and my mom made it herself. It looks great!"
She took the old man's arm and pulled him up from the small bamboo chair. The old man glanced at her and said, "You watch the two children. I'll go try."
"Go ahead, I'll watch."
The old man walked a few steps and turned back to warn him, "Don't let go, keep a close eye on him."
Having fought in battles all his life when he was young, he has become more particular about his appearance and attire now that he is older.
When people get old, aren't they comparing who has more children and grandchildren, whose children are more promising, and whose children are more filial? He put on the clothes bought by his granddaughter and made by his daughter-in-law. Humph, those little old guys will definitely envy him, Meng Dahai!
Thinking of this, the old man's back straightened up a little.
"Hey, hey, hey! You two, I can't tell who's who."
Meng Kexin looked at this and that, confused and unable to tell them apart.
Yes, babies under three months old are not very recognizable, unless they are with their relatives day and night.
She secretly glanced at the old man and saw that he had not come back yet, then quietly stretched out her finger and poked the little face that she had been drooling over.
Wow! It feels so good to poke, so soft and plump.
"Ah~" Meng Xihe waved his little hand.
"Hey, little one, you still want to fight with me? You don't accept it? Just hold it in, lululu." She pointed at her with her finger in the air again.
“Aa ...
The aunt and niece, an older one and a younger one, were whispering and babbling to each other, while the little boy Meng Lian beside them had a frown on his face the whole time, as if he was disgusted.
Women are such a nuisance, their chattering is so annoying!
