"I know. I just forget it once in a while."

Shen Heping was washing the mushrooms: "You kid, Fangfang has no appetite because she is pregnant, what's wrong with giving her one or two fruits?"

"Nothing, I don't want to give it to you. The fruit and these ingredients are very rare and good for your health. You can eat more, but you can't give them away. Don't forget this."

"Okay, Dad will remember this."

Shen Heping added: "Actually, your Aunt Jiang has good intentions. Yuan Liqin looks quite neat and tidy. It's okay to invite her to work in our home."

"Nanny? Or stepmother?"

"What nonsense? Of course it's the babysitter!"

"unnecessary."

"Okay, then you can just learn to do some housework. Dad will teach you if you don't understand. Finally, there's a girl who likes you. Tell Dad where she is from? When can the two families meet? Although we advocate a new trend of frugality now, marriage is an important matter. We still need to have a good talk with her parents to find out what we need to do. When you get married and have children... Hey? Shen Yu, Shen Yu!"

After washing the mushrooms, Shen Heping looked around and found that there was no one around him. His son was gone. He shook his head helplessly.

Shen Yu was impatient to listen to his father's nagging, so he went back to his room and sat at the desk. After thinking for a while, he opened the drawer and took out an envelope. He had just received his salary, along with a lot of bills and foreign exchange coupons. He unscrewed the pen and made a list on the notebook. He planned to go to the Overseas Chinese Store tomorrow to buy some food and daily necessities for girls, and also send a package to Meng Taohua.

Next door, in the living room of the Yuan family, Xian Fangfang sat on the long sofa, wiping her tears with a handkerchief. Deputy Director Yuan sat on the single sofa on the other side, silent. Jiang Yushan and Yuan Liqin came out of the kitchen. Yuan Liqin held a bowl of freshly washed apples and pears and handed it to Xian Fangfang: "Look how greedy the child is. Eat it."

Jiang Yushan sat down and said angrily, "Shen Yu is too outrageous! No wonder he still can't find a wife at the age of 26. With his weird look, he deserves to be single for the rest of his life!"

Yuan Liqin agreed: "That's right, he doesn't have the passion of a young man, he's cold and chilly, scarier than the devil."

Xian Fangfang choked up and said, "Don't talk about Brother Yu like that. He has been without a mother since he was a child, so his temper is a bit weird. He is also very pitiful."

Deputy Director Yuan glanced at Yuan Liqin and said, "Did you see Lao Shen just now? Are you dissatisfied with him?"

Yuan Liqin was a little embarrassed: "Well... although he is much older than me, I can't tell. The main thing is that he looks okay, I am quite satisfied with him."

"Since you are satisfied with Old Shen, you shouldn't have a prejudice against Shen Yu. We will be a family in the future. If you talk like this, won't you cause a conflict?"

"Well, I was wrong. Cousin, I was just afraid that I didn't have a job. Would Director Shen dislike me?"

"Wait until you make it clear to Old Shen that you and him are together. Are you still worried about not having a job? However, I don't think Old Shen needs you to go out to work. You just need to take care of the house and let him have a hot meal every day when he comes home. He will be very happy. After you marry Old Shen, you can also bring the child over. Shen Yu has grown up and has a job, but Old Shen likes children very much. He will help you raise the child well."

Xian Fangfang listened to them talking, and forgot to eat her apple. She widened her eyes and couldn't help but interrupt, "Uncle, so you want to introduce my cousin to Uncle Shen? Is this possible? Uncle Shen's ex-wife was so beautiful. I've seen her photo. She was a beautiful woman with an elegant temperament. I heard she was a college student... How could Uncle Shen like my cousin who didn't even graduate from elementary school?"

Yuan Liqin was stunned when she heard this, and quickly said, "Then I'm not bad looking either. Besides, who said I didn't graduate from elementary school? I did!"

Deputy Director Yuan: “…”

Jiang Yushan patted Xian Fangfang lightly and said, "Don't say that about your cousin. Remember, if anyone asks you in the future, you should say that your cousin only has a high school education."

Xian Fangfang was speechless. Why lie about something that didn't exist? She originally thought that her aunt brought Yuan Liqin to the Shen family to be a nanny, but she didn't expect that she was introducing her to be a marriage partner!

Yuan Liqin had been to her aunt's house several times before. At that time, her husband was still alive. Yuan Liqin behaved in a materialistic and petty manner. When she was a guest at her aunt's house, she even wanted to control her niece's food and drink. How could such a woman be worthy of Uncle Shen, who was so dignified, generous and loving?

Uncle Shen favored her since she was a child and treated her very well. He even said that he wanted her to be his daughter-in-law, but Brother Yu did not cooperate. Brother Yu was away from home for a long time. She waited for Brother Yu very devotedly, but fate played a trick on her and she met Tian Zhigao and was moved by his sincerity.

If Yuan Liqin married Uncle Shen, given her stingy personality, she would probably never get Uncle Shen's care again.

Uncle Yuan was teaching Yuan Liqin seriously, telling her what Old Shen likes and dislikes, and how to please Old Shen.

He also blamed his aunt Jiang Yushan, saying that she was too hasty and shouldn't have chosen to go when Shen Yu was at home. Since ancient times, no child from the first wife has liked the stepmother. It would not be too late to let Shen Yu know after the rice was cooked.

Jiang Yushan is a little worried: "I'm afraid this will be difficult. Shen Yu had a bad attitude when he saw Li Qin today. If he objects, it may not work out. Old Shen dotes on his son and listens to Shen Yu in everything."

"What was Mr. Shen's attitude just now?" asked Deputy Director Yuan.

"Old Shen actually looked at Liqin a few more times. Liqin was pretty to begin with, and after I dressed her up, she was indeed beautiful. I think Old Shen was quite satisfied. But when Shen Yu came out, he directly said that they didn't need to do housework."

"As long as Old Shen is satisfied, you can go when Shen Yu is not here. No, let Liqin go alone and help with the cleaning and housework every day. Seize every opportunity to boldly and actively care about Old Shen. When you two develop feelings for each other and have that kind of relationship, why would you care about Shen Yu's attitude? You don't even need to consider his thoughts. Do you understand what I mean, Liqin?"

Yuan Liqin lowered her head shyly: "I understand, cousin."

Jiang Yushan also said: "Liqin, your cousin and his wife can only point you in the right direction. It's up to you to fight for your own happiness."

"Well, thank you, cousin and cousin-in-law. I will repay you in the future."

Xian Fangfang felt that the apple in her hand was sour, astringent and hard, and it hurt her teeth when she chewed it, so she put it directly on the coffee table and didn't eat it.

Yuan Liqin saw it and said hurriedly, "Why did you stop eating after just two bites? This apple is big, red and sweet, don't waste it."

Xian Fangfang said weakly: "I don't want to eat apples. I want to eat oranges from Uncle Shen's house."

Jiang Yushan sighed: "Poor child, that Shen Yu is just an orange."

Deputy Director Yuan: "What's wrong with the oranges? Can you not eat the things from your Uncle Shen's house?"

Xian Fangfang pouted: "It's all my cousin's fault for not being able to speak and offending Brother Yu, otherwise I would be sitting at Uncle Shen's house eating oranges now."

Yuan Liqin: "Hey, this, I..."

Deputy Director Yuan asked, "What did your cousin say?"

"The first time my cousin went to someone's house, she said to Brother Yu that it would be difficult for him to find a girlfriend in the future. How could Brother Yu be happy? Even Uncle Shen would feel uncomfortable!"

Deputy Director Yuan frowned and looked at Yuan Liqin: "If you don't change your mouth, no one can help you."

Yuan Liqin nodded quickly: "I will change it, I will definitely change it!"

Deputy Director Yuan said to Xian Fangfang, "Dinner is ready. Eat first. I'll go over to see you after you finish. Given my relationship with your Uncle Shen, can I get you a few oranges?"

Xian Fangfang then smiled: "Thank you, uncle! Uncle Shen's family also has dried fish, shrimps, mushrooms and so on. The thick meat looks delicious, I want some too!"

"Okay, wait."
