Shen Xiangzhi walked away with An Hongdou.
When she looked back and could no longer see Shen Yuewan, An Hongdou asked him, "Is there something wrong with your sister?"
Shen Xiangzhi frowned slightly, “What do you mean?”
Why does this sound so much like an insult to him?
"What I mean is, is there any conflict between you and your sister? Otherwise, why would you ignore her when she talks to you?" An Hongdou asked him with a stronger tone.
"You're overthinking it. We don't have any conflicts at all." If there is any conflict, apart from some unpleasantness with his stepmother, there is really nothing else.
An Hongdou looked at him with a puzzled look, obviously not believing what he said.
Fortunately, Shen Xiangzhi didn’t have eyes at the back, so he couldn’t see her expression.
Shen Xiangzhi did not take her back directly, but walked around the street and bought some meat at the meat station.
He said that the dumplings made by Grandma Su had thin skin and rich fillings, and were the most delicious dumplings he had ever eaten in the world.
Seeing the longing in his expression, An Hongdou also wanted to taste it.
People always miss the past.
Sometimes when she is alone, she would think of the past when her parents were still alive. Every Chinese New Year, the whole family would make dumplings at home.
While her mother rolled out the dough and her father made dumplings, she would make trouble on the side, which sometimes resulted in her mother scolding her.
However, although she can never go back to the past, she is already a mother and has three lovely babies, so there is nothing to regret.
The corners of her lips slightly raised, An Hongdu smiled softly, wrapped her arms around Shen Xiangzhi's thin waist, and rested her head on his back.
Shen Xiangzhi, who was riding a bicycle, felt her dependence, and the smile on his face became more and more cheerful. Even the bicycle under him was pedaled by his feet as if it was equipped with a motor.
However, as soon as he arrived at the door of the Su family, the smile on his face completely disappeared and he could no longer smile.
An Hongdou jumped out of the car and listened carefully inside the door. She heard adults talking and babies giggling.
Shen Xiangzhi was taking things from his bicycle, and An Hongdou couldn't help herself when she heard the children's voices, so she walked in first.
Inside the door, Shen Wanhua was holding Dabao, and there was a woman standing next to him, smiling gently and teasing Dabao constantly.
However, as soon as they saw An Hongdou coming in, both Dabao and Erbao stretched out their arms to ask her to hug them.
Only Sanbao was still relatively steady, but his eyes were still fixed on An Hongdou with sparkling eyes.
"Dad, you're here..." An Hongdou greeted politely, then stretched out her hand to Dabao and took the child over.
After Shen Wanhua let go of the child, the smile on his face also faded, and he nodded with a bit of seriousness.
The woman next to him looked at An Hongdou and said with a smile: "This is Hongdou, right? She is such a beautiful girl, no wonder our friend is so devoted to him. You know, our friend is good-looking and a young talent, and he attracted many girls' hearts at the beginning. Even now, some people heard that he got married and are still asking about it."
After saying that, Li Jing didn't give An Hongdou a chance to speak, and directly bumped Shen Wanhua beside him with her elbow, "Dad, your daughter-in-law is right in front of you, don't be so cold, what? Or do you not want to introduce her to us?"
Shen Wanhua’s expression was a little embarrassed for a moment, probably because he thought of his second marriage status.
However, after just a moment, he regained his serious expression and said to An Hongdou: "This is...your Aunt Li."
After Shen Wanhua finished his introduction, Li Jing’s face was obviously a little stiff, and she looked at Shen Wanhua with dissatisfaction, which made Shen Wanhua feel uncomfortable, and said, “You guys chat first, I’ll go see Erbao.”
As they were talking, Shen Xiangzhi just came in. Shen Wanhua also stopped trying to pick up Erbao and turned to ask Shen Xiangzhi, "Why didn't you tell us you're back? If your eldest sister hadn't come home and said she saw you, we wouldn't have known until now."
"What's there to say? Anyway, it's all what you want, so just come back." Chen Xiang knew.
For a moment, Shen Wanhua only felt the blood rushing up, and there was a hint of anger in his eyes.
Chen Xiangzhi saw that things were not going well, and quickly moved away from him, "Don't even think about doing anything to me, I'm already an adult."
Shen Wanhua was going to be pissed off by this bear son.
Now you know that you are an adult, so why didn’t you know it when you were flirting with someone?
"I'm here to tell you that my family has prepared dinner. Take your wife and children home tonight to get to know each other."
Shen Wanhua snorted coldly, turned his head and said a few words to Grandma Su and Grandpa Su, then left.
Li Jing just reacted and said quickly, "Xiangzhi, Hongdou, Aunt Li bought a lot of vegetables today, you two have to go early."
Then, he hurried to chase after Shen Wanhua who had disappeared at the gate.
Along the way, Li Jing had a cold face, but Shen Xiangzhi was also angry and didn't notice his displeasure at all.
When they arrived home, he stopped his bike, Li Jing got off from behind, snorted coldly, and walked into the house without saying a word.
Shen Wanhua then realized that she was actually angry.
Shaking his aching head, Shen Wanhua asked her helplessly, “What’s wrong with you again?”
Li Jing looked back, her eyes red and revealing grievance, and asked him, “Shen Wanhua, what did you promise me when you were at home?”
“What’s going on?” Shen Wanhua scratched his scalp again, looking quite annoyed.
He learned from his eldest daughter that his son had returned but did not enter the house, and he did not even know about it, so he was very angry.
Faintly, he seemed to hear what Li Jing said to him, but he didn't hear it clearly. He just wanted her to stop bothering him, so he nodded.
If you ask him what he agreed to, he himself doesn't know!
"Chen Wanhua, I have been married to you for more than ten years. A grown-up girl married a divorced man like you. Your son still refuses to call me mom. But you turned a deaf ear to what we agreed on at home. Do you really treat me as your wife? As a member of your Shen family?" Li Jing questioned.
Shen Wanhua frowned and asked her, "He doesn't want to call you mom, why don't you tell me why he doesn't want to? Isn't it you who said one thing in front of him and another behind his back? You disliked him for making trouble at home, and then dad took him away, and you disliked him for being disrespectful to you. You don't even treat him as a son, so why should he treat you as a mother?"
As for what they had agreed on at home, he indeed did not hear it clearly, and he was in the wrong in that regard.
