Chapter 22 How about buying a toy?
Shen Tinglan drove to work this morning, but parked his car at the city government, and then at the Public Security Bureau after get off work, which delayed him going back and forth.
I simply took a taxi home directly in front of the Public Security Bureau.
Just got home.
It was Shen Jianan who opened the door.
With an expression of great joy, he looked at his elder sister inquiringly.
Shen Tinglan looked at him twice more, didn't he just find a job?
How is it like winning five million?
It feels like a horse galloping in the spring breeze.
I bluntly retorted to him: "What's wrong? There's something on my face that I can't stop looking at."
"No, no." Shen Jianan shook his head like a rattle.
I can’t believe it, it’s been more than 20 years.
Having been crushed and oppressed since childhood, slaves can now stand up and sing.
After all the hardship comes happiness.
He wants to show off his brother-in-law's power.
His glory lasted only a few seconds, as a huge transfer message on his phone made him see stars.
Swear on this.
He was willing to work like a slave for his brother-in-law, whom he had never met, for the rest of his life.
Everyone follows his lead in everything.
I am willing to be beaten and scolded.
Shen Tinglan interrupted his oath and saw him staring at his phone with a look of fear on his face.
Walk up and look at his phone.
What news?
Weird.
"What's the matter? Let me see."
Shen Jianan hurriedly held the phone in his palm.
"It's okay, it's okay,"
He appeared calm on the surface, but his heart was beating fast.
She added, "Sister, I suddenly remembered that I didn't use up all the living expenses on my school card. I can buy those sneakers myself. You don't have to buy them for me."
After saying that, he turned and walked into the room, closing the door with a loud bang.
Amitabha, thank God, your sister is short of money.
That's not right.
When he was studying, I often helped him, and the little brat even had some money left over.
Why are you so unconvinced?
In the kitchen,
Mother Shen heard the noise and stuck her head out to look towards the living room.
She saw her baby daughter standing in the living room with her back to her.
"Little one is back, wash your hands quickly, the meal will be ready soon."
"Oh, okay." She replied crisply.
Putting aside my doubts for the moment, I turned and went to the bathroom to wash my hands.
A moment's effort.
The food is served.
It’s not a full banquet, but the size of the meal is indeed up to standard with plenty of fish and meat.
Hoof flower soup, braised crucian carp, fried crispy pork, crayfish and a plate of cold-mixed zheergen.
Of course, there was no stir-fried pork with bamboo shoots that Shen's mother mentioned last night.
Shen's mother smiled happily: "Today we celebrate Shen Jianan's successful interview. The three of us must eat and drink well. Your father is working overtime at the company, so don't worry about him."
Shen's father is the deputy director of the Development and Reform Commission. His work is usually very busy, and with the inspection team stationed in Jiangcheng, his work is even more onerous.
"Thank you, Mom." Shen Jianan smiled warmly.
I was born with talent and it will be useful.
If you don’t take action, then nothing will happen. But if you do, you will make a big splash.
No matter how much you beat or scold your children, you should still praise them.
After all, they are my biological children.
As Shen Tinglan scooped a piece of pig's trotter into the bowl, the phone rang.
It’s Jiangyu.
Shen Tinglan then remembered that she had an appointment with Jiang Yu tonight.
Too much has happened today, and my brain can't handle it all.
The CPU is burnt out.
"Hello, Jiang Yu."
Mother Shen and Shen Jianan looked at each other, stopped chewing tacitly, and listened to her on the phone calmly.
Jiang Yu: "Ting Lan, see you at the usual place later."
"good."
The brief call is over.
Putting down the phone, Shen Tinglan picked up the pig's trotter flower from the bowl and put it into his mouth.
The pig's trotters are stewed until they are soft and chewy, bouncy and rich in collagen, which is good for beautifying the skin.
He narrowed his eyes contentedly.
"Mom, your cooking skills are getting better and better. Next time, make pig skin jelly. It's super delicious."
No movement.
She opened her eyes and saw two faces magnified in front of her.
Almost lost his voice: "What are you two doing?"
Mother Shen smiled meaningfully: "Little one, Jiang Yu asked you out again? Does he like you?"
"No." Shen Jianan interrupted loudly.
Absolutely not.
Brother Jiang, I'm sorry, my future brother-in-law is too powerful.
The key point is that he also saw that his sister didn't like Jiang Yu.
With my sister's impatient nature, she would rush to someone she likes as soon as she meets him.
There has been no movement there for four years.
It has to be said that Shen Jianan understands Shen Tinglan in this respect.
Shen Tinglan didn't say anything yet. She glanced at her brother strangely. She wasn't excited, so why should he be excited?
It's not like I want him to be friends with Jiang Yu.
How strange.
Interrupt mental activity.
Swallow the pig's trotter soup, then calmly scoop a bowl of pig's trotter soup with a spoon and let it cool in a bowl.
Only then did she speak: "Mom, we don't mean that. If I liked him, we would have been together a long time ago. Why wait for four years?"
Mother Shen retorted: “I didn’t say you like him, I said he likes you.”
Before Shen Tinglan could answer, Shen's mother continued, "You are not young anymore, you can have friends. Let's see how they go. Anyway, we are not in a hurry. If there is a suitable one, a prodigal son can get married."
Shen Tinglan was about to open his mouth.
Shen's mother added: "If you don't make friends, your endocrine system will be out of balance. There's a girl in our unit who didn't have it at the age of 30. She's gone through menopause."
"It's just like you young people say, it's okay to find a sex buddy."
"Poof" Shen Tinglan heard the last sentence, and the soup in his mouth was puffed out by thunder.
Sprayed on Shen Jianan's face opposite.
"Sister, why is this happening?" She reached out and wiped it, shook her hands, and went to the kitchen to wash her face.
"I really didn't mean it. Did you hear what mom just said? Did you hear it?" he asked excitedly.
Shen Jianan washed his face and sat back down.
"I heard it, I heard it." Then he turned to Shen's mother: "Mom, you are so avant-garde, and you even know your sex friends."
Shen Jianan gloated over the misfortune.
"Don't laugh. You're the same, a hot-blooded young man. You have buckets of toilet paper in your house. I think your two older brothers, not to mention your second brother, are all the same."
Shen Jianan was no longer calm.
There is half a mouthful of rice in my mouth, and I don’t know whether to swallow it or not.
At this time, Shen Tinglan said, "Mom, we are keeping ourselves clean. There are so many viruses outside now, how dare we just find someone to make wine for us."
Oh shit, my mom reminded me of this.
"Mom, I suddenly remembered that my period is several days late. Could it be menopause?"
Mother Shen felt like she was facing a great enemy.
Angrily: "Then let's go and see it tomorrow. Nowadays, many young people are under a lot of pressure and don't have friends. It would be strange if they don't suffer."
"It won't work tomorrow. Let's wait until Sunday. What if it comes? It hasn't been more than a week yet."
After thinking about it, Shen Tinglan felt that she was making a fuss. Her aunt was always on time, but she was just a few days late this time, which was not a big problem.
Besides.
Wouldn’t it be better if my period didn’t come? I could save on sanitary napkins and do whatever I want during those few days every month.
No need to worry about getting stomachache from eating ice or drinking cold beer in the summer.
So, facing Shen's mother, she said with some relief: "Mom, it's better not to come, and you don't have to give birth to a baby. You can save some money every month, even the money for condoms."
"Cough... cough..." Shen Jianan's elder sister's words unexpectedly choked the rice in his mouth into his trachea. The spicy and irritating taste almost made him faint.
I drank two large cups of warm water before I could finally calm down.
Mother Shen gave a look: What a fuss, why are you pretending to be a pure boy.
He turned the chopsticks over again and tapped them lightly on Shen Tinglan's head: "Good skewers, do you know that if you don't have your period, you will have menopause. Osteoporosis, back pain, leg pain, dark yellow skin, hair loss, baldness, premature ovarian failure, and accelerated aging of women."
"There are so many things, and I'm still getting fat. I can't even finish talking about them. Do you think it's good?"
Shen Tinglan touched his face, hair, and body while listening.
ah,
She doesn't want to become fat, bald, with pockmarks all over her face and dark yellow skin.
I'll go see a doctor in a few days for treatment.
She wants to be a few years younger and not be in a relationship yet.
Speaking of playing friends, someone's figure floated by again.
Stop in time.
Shen Jianan asked curiously, "There are so many details, Mom."
Mother Shen turned the conversation to her son again: "Speaking of this, I have to tell you something. When you are dating in the future, you must be nice to your girlfriend. When you are married, you must do housework and cook, and you must not fall behind in taking care of the children."
Shen Jianan didn't understand: "What does this have to do with menstruation?"
"It matters a lot. A woman's appearance is largely determined by how the man in her family treats her. If you've done your job well, why would she be angry? If she's not angry, her mood, body, and skin will be good."
Shen Jianan nodded repeatedly and kept it in mind.
As expected of the director of the Women's Federation, she speaks very coherently.
The sound of dishes being put down.
Mother Shen paused.
Think carefully.
He said to Shen Tinglan very seriously: "It's not safe outside, how about buying a toy?"
The two siblings looked at each other.
"mom"
"mom"
The shouting was deafening.
