Chapter 50 A Strange Gift



The old woman sighed and said, "My son is not at home."

Shen Jianmin didn't ask any further, thinking that perhaps the other family had some unspeakable secrets. After helping the old woman to the doctor, Shen Jianmin even ran errands to pay the medical bills, running around busily.

After finishing his work, Shen Jianmin said to the old woman, "Auntie, just rest assured in the hospital. I've taken care of everything for you. I have to go to work, so I'll leave first."

The old woman pulled Shen Jianmin's sleeve and said to him, "What's your name, young man? I will thank you when my son comes back."

Shen Jianmin quickly waved his hand and said, "Auntie, my name is Shen Jianmin. There's no need to thank me."

"No, if it weren't for you, young man, I don't know what would have happened to my old bones. I must thank you very much."

“No, no…”

Shen Jianmin finally managed to escape and walk out of the hospital, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"This lady is too enthusiastic!" He really couldn't bear it.

It was only then that Shen Jianmin realized that sometimes being too enthusiastic could be a form of torture.

"No, I have to get to the factory quickly. I'm going to be late for work."

Thinking of going to work, Shen Jianmin no longer cared about anything else. He raised his legs and ran towards the textile factory at the speed of a 100-meter sprint.

Hurry up, faster!

Shen Jianmin kept urging himself.

As expected, when Shen Jianmin ran to the textile factory, he was already late.

Shen Jianmin walked into his production department with a nervous mood. As soon as he entered, he was seen by his team leader. The team leader didn't say anything, but waved to Shen Jianmin.

Shen Jianmin walked over obediently, and the two of them came to a corner.

Shen Jianmin's team leader was a middle-aged man with a friendly face, like a kind elder. He took Shen Jianmin to a corner and asked with concern, "Jianmin, why are you late today? Is there something wrong at home?"

Seeing that the team leader had no intention of blaming him, Shen Jianmin told the team leader everything that had happened in the morning.

"So, you're late today just to help the people. You're a good guy. I won't record your lateness today. Go back to work."

Shen Jianmin could feel the admiring gaze of the team leader.

After the team leader said this, Shen Jianmin finally put his uneasy heart at ease.

When Shen Jianmin got home from get off work, Shen Qingmiao had already returned. She had arranged the mooncakes one by one and left a note for Shen Jianmin, telling him to take good care of the mooncakes and that she would come over tomorrow.

On the way home, Shen Qingmiao was already thinking about what reasons he could use to convince his mother to let him live in the county.

Only by living in the county can she move around more conveniently.

After thinking for a long time, Shen Qingmiao finally came up with an idea.

When Shen's mother saw Shen Qingmiao coming back, she immediately smiled and greeted him, "Qingmiao is back!"

"Mom, I'm back."

"How is your brother?" Mother Shen still cares about her son and is very concerned about his life.

"Third brother is doing well in the county, you don't have to worry."

"That's good. I'll feel relieved then."

During dinner, Xiaojie pulled Shen Qingmiao aside and kept asking her what the county was like and whether it was as beautiful as his friends said.

Shen Qingmiao patiently explained the county town to Xiaojie, what was there in the county town and what it looked like.

After listening to Shen Qingmiao's description, Xiaojie looked longing.

He also wants to go to the county to take a look!

At night, while Shen's mother was alone in the room, Shen Qingmiao sneaked in and told her her idea. After thinking about it, Shen's mother finally agreed to Shen Qingmiao's request.

If I could really find a job in the county, that would be great.

The next day, Shen Qingmiao went to the county again. This time, she took some spare clothes with her when she left. It seemed that she would stay in the county for several days.

Li Zhaodi looked at Shen Qingmiao carrying the bag and asked curiously, "Qingmiao, where are you going?"

"The county."

Li Zhaodi began to wonder in her heart, could it be that Qingmiao has also found a job?

For a moment, everyone looked at Shen Qingmiao with envy.

"If you have the chance, take your sister-in-law to have a look," Li Zhaodi said with a shy face. The meaning behind her words was naturally not as simple as it seemed. In fact, Li Zhaodi just wanted Shen Qingmiao to help her.

Shen Qingmiao glanced at her, seemingly unaware of her thoughts, and shattered Li Zhaodi's fantasy with cold and ruthless words, "Sister-in-law, you haven't lost your memory. You can't even forget the way to the county. If you want to go, go by yourself. Just tell mom."

Li Zhaodi, who was confronted by Shen Qingmiao, suddenly became unhappy and walked away with an unhappy look.

Humph

Mother Shen and Li Zhaodi passed by each other, and when she saw Shen Qingmiao, she asked, "What happened to her?"

"Maybe someone came and he's in a bad mood." Shen Qingmiao gave Shen's mother a look that said you know what I mean.

Which one is that? Mother Shen looked puzzled.

Unfortunately, before she could ask, Shen Qingmiao had already left.

I had just arrived at the rented house and hadn’t even sat down when I heard a knock on the door.

Shen Qingmiao walked into the yard and shouted outside the door, "Who, who are you looking for?"

She and her third brother just moved in. Who would come to their house?

"Is this Shen Jianmin's home? I'm looking for Shen Jianmin?" asked the man outside.

After Shen Qingmiao opened the door, he saw a strange man. He looked towards the next door and saw the man next door looking towards him.

She knew that the lady next door would come out to take a look.

After only two days here, Shen Qingmiao already noticed the neighbor's jocular nature. On the day they moved in, she spent the entire afternoon gazing towards him. Shen Qingmiao was impressed by her perseverance; it was truly remarkable.

When I was making mooncakes myself, I still had the audacity to come and ask for them, and my words and actions implied that I wanted to get them for free.

Shen Qingmiao said directly at that time, "The cakes at the supply and marketing cooperative are delicious, why don't you go and get some? With your shamelessness, I think you can do such a thing. I'm telling you one thing, no."

After saying that, he closed the door with a bang.

Shen Qingmiao stood at the door and did not invite the man in. "What do you want from Shen Jianmin? He is not at home now."

"When will he be back?" the man asked, handing the things in his hand to Shen Qingmiao, "Please take these things first. I will come to thank him when he comes back."

"Let's talk about it when he comes back." Shen Qingmiao, not knowing what was going on, kept refusing, "He gets off work in the evening."

"Then I'll come back in the evening." The man put down his things and turned to leave.

"Hey, you haven't taken your things yet."

Shen Qingmiao looked at the man's back as he left, and the thing under his feet, and was completely confused.
