"I was hurt just below the knee."

Shen Huanxi's body stiffened and he didn't dare to raise his head.

"I am conscious above my knees," Xiao Shanhe added.

Shen Huanxi's body stiffened again and his head drooped slightly.

“Also, my hands have feeling, I can zip it up myself.”

Shen Huanxi: “…”

He said that the first sentence to remind her that his injury was below the knee was enough, why did he say so much!

Shen Huanxi only felt that his cheeks were hot, very hot.

It feels like being caught doing something bad.

In fact...it seems to be the case.

"I...then you put it on yourself." Shen Huanxi lowered his head and took his hand back, then turned around and stood up.

"I'll get you a mirror, you unzip it yourself." After saying that, she was about to go out, and she seemed to hear Xiao Shanhe's chuckle from behind her.

He laughed?

Shen Huanxi didn't dare to turn back to confirm it. She walked to the faucet, turned on the cold water and washed her face twice. When she felt that her face was no longer hot, she went back to her room to get a mirror.

It's so embarrassing, so embarrassing! How could she do such a shameful thing? She feels like she has lost all her image in front of Xiao Shanhe.

After taking the mirror, she hesitated for a while, and only went back to Xiao Shanhe's study when she felt her heartbeat had calmed down.

Xiao Shanhe has already put on his jacket. The straight, dark color makes him look even more calm and reserved, even though he already looks righteous and serious.

It is true that clothes make the man. Xiao Shanhe is the type who looks good even in a sack, but he looks even better if he dresses up properly.

Shen Huanxi could hardly take his eyes off him. Seeing Xiao Shanhe wearing a high-end jacket was a visual enjoyment.

"Is it strange?" Xiao Shanhe asked when he saw Shen Huanxi staring at him.

Shen Huanxi finally reacted and shook his head quickly.

"It's not strange, not strange! Not strange at all, it looks good and fits me well, take a look." Shen Huanxi walked over with the mirror.

Xiao Shanhe glanced at himself in the mirror perfunctorily and then looked away.

"This dress is not cheap. Buy less in the future. Men don't need to dress up so much. If you have money, buy yourself a few more skirts."

"I already have enough skirts." Shen Huanxi bought a lot of clothes for herself right after she was reborn.

She came back decades later, and although she was very aware of the aesthetic tastes of people of that era, she was still not used to wearing those old-fashioned Dacron clothes. She had quite a few beautiful clothes in her closet.

"Raise your hand and check if it's stuck in your armpit and if it's affecting your activities. If it is, I can take it to have it fixed or replace it with another one."

"It won't affect you." Xiao Shanhe raised his hand obediently, "No need to change it."

"Hmm..." Shen Huanxi couldn't help but look at him, "Let me buy you another pair of pants. This jacket doesn't look good with your pants. I'll buy you a nice pair of pants. What's your waist size?"

"Would you like to measure it for me?"

Shen Huanxi: “…”

Thinking about how she had just been caught touching his abdominal muscles, Shen Huanxi almost blushed again. This man must have done it on purpose.

"No need to measure, just tell me your waist size and I'll buy it for you."

"Want to help me put on my pants?" A smile suddenly appeared on Xiao Shanhe's face.

Shen Huanxi almost threw the mirror in her hand. Was this man pretending to be serious and solemn in front of her? He was actually teasing her here!

She just found out that he was injured below the knee.

"Actually, if you want to touch it, it's okay. We are husband and wife." Xiao Shanhe laughed again.

Shen Huanxi: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"I don't need pants. I have plenty of pants."

"There are a lot of trousers that have been washed white. If you don't want to tell me, then forget it. I have a ruler. Can't I measure your trousers myself?" Shen Huanxi said and went out. This was just a good reason to go out.

She really can't stay here any longer!

Her image collapsed today, and Xiao Shanhe is no better. The true face of this man is revealed. It turns out that he is a dull, coquettish, and slutty man!

…

Shen Huanxi's life was back on track. She went to work at the Sanbei Command Headquarters. Zhang Guifen took her children to and from school. She was only responsible for taking the children to the Children's Palace on weekends.

Later, the children were familiar with the way to the Children's Palace, so the four of them went there on their own. It was not far from home anyway, so Shen Huanxi didn't care anymore.

It was Saturday again, and the children all went to the Children's Palace. Shen Huanxi was at home planning the next promotion of the Three North Shelterbelt Project when she heard someone outside calling her name and knocking on the big iron gate of their house.

Zhang Guifen went out to buy groceries and no one opened the door. When Shen Huanxi came out of the study, he saw his good friend Zhao Mingyue whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Shen Huanxi originally came out of the village and went to work in a state-owned hotel, where he made many friends, such as Zhao Qiu'e, Deng Runmei, Wei Zhenzhen, Nie Dongxiang, and Xue Ruihua.

But the one with whom he has the best relationship is Zhao Mingyue.

All in all, she and Zhao Mingyue had been colleagues for the shortest time. Zhao Mingyue only worked in the state-owned hotel for a year. He felt that there were more opportunities outside, so he ran to the provincial capital and stayed there for several years.

Over the years, she would often return to Yunnan City, and every time she came back, she would come to see Shen Huanxi. The relationship between the two did not become cold just because Zhao Mingyue did not live in Yunnan City for a long time.

Shen Huanxi hurried out to open the door.

"You're back! Didn't you usually come back during holidays in previous years? Why are you back now? Come in quickly, come in quickly."

"Are you not happy that I'm back? You got divorced suddenly and then got married suddenly. You have a wild temper. I only found out today when I drove back to Taolin Village. I asked around for a long time before I found out that you live here now."

"Oh, weren't you in Yunnan recently? Otherwise I would have told you first, and my marriage was quite sudden, I didn't expect..." Shen Huanxi was telling the truth and saw Zhao Mingyue's car parked outside.

"Please drive your car in. Our front door can be fully opened. It's better to park your car in the yard. I'm afraid it will be scratched by naughty kids if it's outside."

"Then you have to carry things for me first. They are all bought for you." Zhao Mingyue said, and stuffed a bunch of things in her hands into Shen Huanxi's hands.

Shen Huanxi was used to this woman bringing gifts for her every time she returned to her hometown, so he didn't hesitate. After taking the gifts, he opened the door for her and asked her to park the car before the two of them entered the living room.

Zhao Mingyue was observing the courtyard along the way, and when he entered the living room, he looked left and right.

"I used to advise you to divorce Feng Shenghui, and you finally did it. But you remarried so soon. I wonder if the other party is reliable. I think this condition is quite good, much better than the Feng family, but I heard that the other party is a cripple." Zhao Mingyue was a little worried.

Shen Huanxi shook his head.

"Don't worry, he's a very nice person. Chang'an and Changning followed me and their household registration was transferred. They are now studying in the city and are also studying at the Children's Palace.

The main reason is that the environment in the city is much better than in the village. As you know, Chang'an and Changning's lungs have always been in poor condition, and they are prone to colds and allergies. The dust in the city is not that heavy, which is good for them."

"That's true. It's up to you if you feel it's good. As long as you can divorce decisively, I believe you. But if this man doesn't treat you well now, you have to be as decisive as you were in your first divorce. Don't let yourself or your child suffer."

"Of course." Shen Huanxi nodded, thinking that women who could go to a big city alone to make a lot of money were indeed different in their outlook. Nowadays, rural women with little experience still think that divorce is a big deal.

Look at Zhao Mingyue, so cool and elegant.

"But I probably won't get divorced again. Xiao Shanhe is a good person. Although he has disabled legs, he..." Shen Huanxi told Zhao Mingyue everything that had happened in the Xiao family recently, and also talked about Xiao Shanhe's work.

"If he hadn't injured his leg while saving someone, he would still be working as a power engineer. He is a very honest, trustworthy and capable person."

"That's good." Zhao Mingyue felt more relieved after hearing what Shen Huanxi said.

"What about you? You haven't told me yet, why are you suddenly going back to your hometown now?" Shen Huanxi asked.

"She's still my mother." Zhao Mingyue sighed helplessly.

"My mother is not used to life in a big city and wants to stay in Yunnan. She is old and I don't want to torture her anymore. Her health is getting worse and worse and I don't know how many more years she can hold on.

There is no end to money. What I fear most is that my parents are no longer around to support me, so I came to accompany her. I think I have been developing in Yunnan City in recent years."

"That's fine."

Shen Huanxi understood Zhao Mingyue, but was also a little surprised. In his previous life, Zhao Mingyue had to wait until 1985 to return to Yunnan City, but in this life, he returned two years earlier.

"Have you thought about what you're going to do when you get back?"

"Maybe selling saplings. The country is currently carrying out some kind of tree planting project called the Three Norths Project. By the way, I heard that you are still working at the Three Norths Command Headquarters, right?"

"Yeah." Shen Huanxi nodded.

"What a coincidence! We may see each other more often in the future. When I was in the provincial capital, I saw people from the Three Norths Project buying saplings. I saw them buying two saplings for one cent. In fact, they are not that expensive.

I learned some methods of planting saplings outside. Using seeds, you can quickly grow healthy saplings. I sell them to you for the Three Norths Project. Three trees for one cent, so I still make a profit, and your cost of purchasing saplings can also be reduced. It is a win-win situation, and I can also make a contribution to my motherland."

"That's great! Mingyue, please come back soon to plant the saplings. I'm waiting for our unit to purchase your saplings!" Shen Huanxi was very happy.

Even though she has only been a member of the Three Norths Project for a short time, it does not affect her feelings for the project. She hopes to see the green mountains and clear waters of the Three Norths region of the motherland as soon as possible. She also hopes that the Three Norths Project can proceed more smoothly and that the cost of purchasing saplings can be reduced. She would also be happy.

"That has to wait until spring. It's already autumn now, and tree seeds can't sprout in autumn and winter. It just so happens that I can spend more time with my mother in these few months. She's old.

Anyway, I am very happy to have this opportunity to come back. I heard about the Three Norths Project several years ago, but it was only then that I realized that so many saplings were needed. It is just right that I am back to do a good business in saplings. "

"Yeah." Shen Huanxi nodded and didn't say much.

She now began to feel that Zhao Mingyue's return might have a lot to do with her.

Before she joined the Yunnan Sanbei Command, tree planting activities in Yunnan were difficult and the demand for saplings was not that high.

It was from the moment she proposed that ordinary people could take tree seedlings home to plant and then be rewarded after they were grown that the demand for tree seedlings in Yunnan City increased, and Zhao Mingyue took this opportunity to return to Yunnan City.

Otherwise, why didn't Zhao Mingyue come back at this time in his last life?

"What about you? Have you been working at the Sanbei Command? I heard that the monthly salary is only more than 40 yuan. Even if you set up a stall to sell things in the past, you could earn more than that. Do you plan to work there forever?"

"Yes." Shen Huanxi answered firmly.

"You just said that there is no end to making money, and I don't want to make that much money anymore. Just like you want to come back to be with your mother, I also want to do more for Chang'an and Changning.

The two children's lungs are not very good, and it has a lot to do with the dust. I do this in the hope that there will be fewer children suffering from lung diseases in the future."

"Well, I understand you." Zhao Mingyue smiled.

There must be a reason why the two of them can become good friends. Other people may not understand why Shen Huanxi would do business instead of doing this kind of job.

"Huanxi, I want to ask a more personal question..."

"Um?"

"Your current man, isn't he unable to stand? Is he still okay in that aspect?"

"In what aspect?" Shen Huanxi was unable to react for a moment.

"That aspect, that aspect. You've been married twice, and you still want me to explain it? It's that ability of a man."

"..." Shen Huanxi's face suddenly turned red when she heard Zhao Mingyue ask this.

She thought about the time when she helped Xiao Shanhe put on his clothes, and she even secretly touched his abdominal muscles, but he found out...

His injury was below the knee, so he must still be good at that. Thinking of this, Shen Huanxi's face became even hotter.

When Zhao Mingyue saw her expression, he understood clearly.

"I see. He looks pretty strong."

"No, no! Mingyue, you misunderstood. He and I didn't..." Shen Huanxi said this, and suddenly she didn't want to say it anymore. Zhao Mingyue wouldn't believe her even if she told him, and why should she explain this.

"Okay, we're all adults, we understand. I just don't know if you two are still planning to have children. There is family planning now, but I heard that some places are more accommodating to second marriages. What are your plans?"

"I have no plans. I made it clear before I married him that we don't want children, and I will raise Chang'an and Changning."

"That's good." Zhao Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief.

"You already have two children. Now many families only have one child. All their energy is focused on their child. A family only raises one child, so the children born these days are very outstanding.

You already have two children, Changan and Changning, and two stepchildren. You have enough children. If you have more, you will not be able to take care of their education, which will harm the children. The idea of ​​having many children is a blessing in the past. Now if you have many children, you really feel sorry for the children."

"I understand all these principles. Don't worry, I won't let my child down." Shen Huanxi said.

She really admires Zhao Mingyue. Mingyue was born in the 1960s, and it is not easy for her to have such awareness in this era.

Zhao Mingyue's childhood experience was not very good.

When Zhao Mingyue was young, she was touched by a perverted man in the village, and later the news spread throughout the village.

At that time, the people in the village did not blame the wretched man. Instead, they laughed at Zhao Mingyue for being unclean and unable to get married. Even her father thought she was a disgrace and kicked her and her mother out of the house.

Zhao Mingyue's mother was in poor health, and she worked hard to raise her. Over the years, the mother and daughter have suffered from contempt and ridicule, but Zhao Mingyue did not become depressed because of this. Instead, she became self-reliant.

She realized that throughout history, including this era, this nation has been very unfriendly to women. She did not try to be a good wife and mother to please others, but instead became an independent woman.

In her previous life, Zhao Mingyue never got married. Later, she wanted to have a child of her own, so she went abroad by herself. When she was in her fifties, she bought sperm for in vitro fertilization and gave birth to a daughter.

In her words, this child is hers alone. She does not trust men and does not want to share a child with another man, so she chose this way to have a child.

Later, she raised her daughter to be an excellent student and she was admitted to an Ivy League school.

It is normal for such a courageous and sober woman to realize that having more children is unfair to the children.

"By the way, Mingyue, I want you to help me with something." Shen Huanxi thought of Zhao Mingyue's experience in his previous life and suddenly remembered something.

"You say."

"You've been traveling between the provincial capital and the capital over the years. Do you know any better hospitals or better doctors?" Shen Huanxi asked.

Zhao Mingyue is the most capable and well-connected person Shen Huanxi has ever known in his life.

She was able to find a way to buy sperm for in vitro fertilization in her fifties and give birth to a healthy and smart baby at that age. Perhaps she knew about medical resources when she was young.

"Why are you asking this? Do you want to show your legs to your current man?"

"Yes." Shen Huanxi nodded. Zhao Mingyue was indeed her good friend, and she guessed it right away.

"Do you know him? I don't want him to sit in a wheelchair all his life. It would be great if he could stand up. He could also help with more things at home and reduce the burden on the children in the future."

"I don't know him."

"Hmm..." Shen Huanxi was a little disappointed.

"But I can keep an eye out for you. If I hear of any good doctors, I'll introduce them to you. But didn't his previous employer treat him? Logically, since he's a government employee, they should provide him with a pension and help him find a doctor."

"There is a pension. I was hospitalized in the capital for almost a year and my condition did not improve. I thought that you have a lot of experience and connections, so maybe you can get to know some foreign doctors. The medical level in the country is not high enough right now."

"Let me keep an eye out for you. I know some foreign friends and I'll ask for you when the time comes. I'm going home first." Zhao Mingyue looked at his watch and stood up.

"Are you going back now? You won't stay for dinner." Shen Huanxi stood up.

"No, you're in the city now anyway, and I'm living in the city with my mom, so there are plenty of opportunities for us to meet, and today doesn't matter. I have to go back to accompany my mom."

"Okay, come again when you have time." Shen Huanxi saw her out.

As soon as they walked out of the living room, they saw Xiao Yutang coming back with his younger brothers and sisters. The four children were curious to see a private car parked in their yard.

Xiao Yutang looked at the car and thought it didn't look like Pan Jianguo's car. Zhao Mingyue bought a new car, a Changan or Changning that he had never seen before and couldn't recognize.

But the moment Chang'an Changning saw Zhao Mingyue, he ran over.

"Aunt Zhao!"

"Aunt Zhao! Long time no see!"

Zhao Mingyue squatted down and touched the two children's heads.

Xiao Yutang and Xiao Yuzheng stood aside without saying anything.

Zhao Mingyue is 23 years old this year. She wears a camel-colored waisted windbreaker, camel-colored high-heeled boots, and has waist-length hair curled into waves. She also carries a black leather bag. She is pretty and fashionable, like a rich person on TV.

Xiao Yutang frowned when he saw her like this, but Shen Huanxi asked his brothers to call for help.

"Tangtang, Zhengzheng, this is Aunt Zhao, hurry up and call for help. Mingyue, these are my two stepchildren, Tangtang and Zhengzheng."

"Hello, guys." Zhao Mingyue greeted the two boys. She was wearing bright red lipstick and smiling brightly.

When I saw such a beautiful and bright aunt, I felt a little shy and said in a low voice, "Hello, aunt."

Xiao Yutang seemed a little perfunctory, but he still said hello, "Auntie."

"Okay, kids. I'm going home first. I'll come to play with you when I have time. I brought you some White Rabbit milk candies. Go and try them. Bye." After Zhao Mingyue said goodbye to the kids, she got in the car.

Chang'an, Changning and Zhengzheng ran back to the living room when they heard that there were White Rabbit milk candies.

This is a high-end snack in the eyes of children of this era. Anyone in school who has eaten White Rabbit milk candy can brag about it for a long time. If they can bring it to school and show it to other classmates, they will be envied to death.

Several children were delighted to know that they could eat White Rabbit milk candy. Only Xiao Yutang stood in the yard, looking at the direction where Zhao Mingyue's car left, without going in.

"Tangtang, don't you want to eat White Rabbit milk candy?" Shen Huanxi asked.

"Why do you always make friends with people like this?" Xiao Yutang asked instead of answering.

"This kind of person? What kind of person?"

"They are the kind of women who dress like big stars, like Chenchen's mother and this Aunt Zhao." Xiao Yutang frowned.

Shen Huanxi obviously noticed his resistance.

This child still hasn't gotten over the hurdle in his heart.

He still thinks that Lan Linxiang wants to remarry a rich man who doesn't want them because she likes to hang out with rich ladies. He is still very resistant to fashionable women like Jiang Xiaomei and Zhao Mingyue.

"Tangtang, go back and eat White Rabbit candy with your brothers and sisters. I'm going to cook dinner now. After dinner, you can take a nap. The Children's Palace doesn't start classes until three in the afternoon. You can sleep until two and I'll take you out."

"Go for it?"

"Just come with me, and go back to eat some White Rabbit candy first."

"I don't want to eat it." Xiao Yutang was very determined.

At this time, Changan, Changning and Xiaoyu were just coming out of the living room. Several children were holding a few White Rabbit milk candies in their hands and one in their mouths.

The children were still young, and their cheeks were stuffed so full of White Rabbit milk candies that they could not speak clearly.

"Mom, fuck me!"

"A big white belly is a good thing, and so is the mother."

"Brother, you have a big white belly!"

"Okay, thank you kids." Shen Huanxi took the White Rabbit milk candy.

Xiao Yutang is still being stubborn.

"I don't want to eat."

"It's time to have a good meal, Da Baidu is so delicious!" Chang'an didn't care. Even though he spoke unclearly, he still opened a candy and stuffed it into Xiao Yutang's mouth.

"I don't want to eat it. I don't want to eat it. I won't go out..." Xiao Yutang refused, but was afraid of pushing Chang'an down, so Chang'an successfully stuffed the White Rabbit milk candy into his mouth.

The sweet aroma of milk filled his mouth. Xiao Yutang wanted to refuse it, but he was conquered by the wonderful feeling of his taste buds.

White Rabbit Milk Candy is a very delicious snack in this era.

…

After the children had lunch, Shen Huanxi urged them to take a nap. At two o'clock, she woke up the four children on time and took them out.

Along the way, Xiao Yutang asked Shen Huanxi from time to time where he wanted to take them, but the other three children were busy eating White Rabbit tea and did not ask.

Shen Huanxi just said that you will know when you get there, and didn't say anything more.

Finally, she took her children to Hanlin Street and met Xue Ruihua and Deng Runmei who were setting up a stall.

"Huanxi! What a coincidence, you're bringing the kids shopping!" Deng Runmei shouted when she saw Shen Huanxi, and Xue Ruihua also waved at her and Chang'an Changning.

Shen Huanxi brought the children over to introduce them to Xiao Yutang and Xiao Yuzheng.

"I knew these two aunties when I was working in a state-owned hotel. They were my former colleagues. This one is Aunt Xue and this one is Aunt Deng."

"Hello, Aunt Xue, hello, Aunt Deng." Xiao Yutang and Xiao Yuzheng both greeted politely.

Xiao Yutang suddenly felt very happy. Shen Huanxi was taking them to meet her friends.

I remember that their mother was never willing to take them to meet her friends. She always said that they were low-class, uneducated and shameful.

Chang'an Changning had met Deng Runmei and Xue Ruihua before, so he was familiar with them, so he gave them some White Rabbit milk candies.

"Aunt Xue, Aunt Deng, please have some White Rabbit candy."

"Oh, you're so polite. We are so embarrassed."

Xue Ruihua and Deng Runmei said they were sorry, but seeing how enthusiastic Chang'an and Changning were, they felt embarrassed to refuse their kindness, so they accepted the candies.

Xue Ruihua was selling persimmon cakes at his stall, while Deng Runmei was selling dried beef. As a token of reciprocity, they also gave each of the children a persimmon cake and some dried beef.

Persimmon cakes and dried beef are not cheap, and they were given to them as gifts because they have a good relationship with Shen Huanxi.

How could Shen Huanxi be so embarrassed? She just squatted down and said she wanted to choose and buy.

"Isn't Mingyue back? Oh, that's Zhao Mingyue. She had just resigned when you arrived at the state-owned hotel, so you weren't very familiar with her.

I have known her for a long time and have a good relationship with her. This White Rabbit candy was given to me by her. I also want to buy something for her, but I am worried about being ripped off if I buy it outside. So I will buy it from you two. You two will not rip me off. "

"Look at what you said, isn't that nonsense? How could we possibly cheat you? Come, I'll pick out the best for you."

"I'll pick the best ones for you, too."

As Xue Ruihua and Deng Runmei talked, they helped Shen Huanxi pick out persimmon cakes and dried beef.

In the end, Shen Huanxi ordered three pounds of persimmon cakes and one pound of dried beef.

Since the purchase was quite a lot, they gave Shen Huanxi a discount, but Shen Huanxi was busy trying to refuse.

"It's not easy for you two to carry your baskets and go from street to street to do business. I've done this before and I understand you. You don't have to give me a discount."

"That won't work." Xue Ruihua shook his head. "Usually I sell persimmon cakes one by one. Few people buy so many at once. At most, they buy one kilogram. You bought three kilograms. It's only right that I give you a discount."

"I'm the same way. I sell dried beef by the ounce. Business has been even harder in the past two years. It's not easy to sell even one ounce. You bought so much, so I should give you a discount."

"That won't work." Shen Huanxi forced the money into Deng Runmei and Xue Ruihua's hands, then left with the four children.

After they had walked for a while, she broke off a piece of air-dried beef for each child to taste.

Su Liming drove by with Lan Linxiang and Su Chaoyang in the car.

Su Chaoyang is looking for Su Liming.

"Brother, then let me go to the factory and assign me a position as a supervisor or something." Su Chaoyang said this, and then remembered that Lan Linxiang had the final say on family matters, so he looked at Lan Linxiang again.

"Sister-in-law, why don't you let me go? My brother is the factory director, so what if I'm a supervisor?"

Lan Linxiang shook her head.

"It's not that I don't want you to come to the factory, I just want you to start from the bottom. You know nothing about the furniture industry chain, how can you be a supervisor? Do you know how high the cost of raw materials is now? And logistics, labor, warehouses, do you understand all these?

You don't know how to be a supervisor? If you don't have a good foundation, you won't be able to do well even if you are asked to be a supervisor. You should do everything step by step. Don't think of reaching the top overnight. Anyway, the factory belongs to your brother. You don't have to worry about not having a position. Starting from the grassroots is also for your future. "

"Can't I be a supervisor and learn the basics at the same time?" Su Chaoyang just wouldn't listen.

He was ridiculed and looked down upon by Shen Huanxi, so he wanted to prove himself quickly and make a lot of money.

Lan Linxiang was very annoyed. No matter how Su Chaoyang tried to persuade her, she just wouldn't listen.

She was too lazy to say anything more, so she just looked out the window. Then she saw Shen Huanxi and the four children.

She was even more upset when she saw that Shen Huanxi had just bought something from the stall and shared it with Xiao Yutang and Xiao Yuzheng.

Shen Huanxi was a strong woman in her previous life, but why is she so unpresentable now that she buys no-name products from street stalls for her children to eat?

That's right, Shen Huanxi hadn't started making a lot of money at that time, so it was normal for him to buy goods from a street stall. But Lan Linxiang was very unhappy to see her two biological children eating goods from a street stall.

"Sister-in-law, why not? Sister-in-law, do you hear me?"

"Let's go home first. There aren't many cars ahead, so we can drive faster. I still have to go home to pick up my child to go to the Children's Palace." Lan Linxiang was very annoyed.

Su Chaoyang annoyed her, and Xiao Yutang and Xiao Yuzheng eating at the stall also annoyed her. She couldn't get Su Chaoyang out of the car, so she had to ask Su Liming to drive faster so as not to see Xiao Yutang and Xiao Yuzheng.

…

Shen Huanxi took the children for a short walk before Xiao Yutang remembered something.

"Why did you suddenly wake us up and bring us here?"

"Yeah." Shen Huanxi touched Xiao Yutang's head. Xiao Yutang wanted to hide at first, but failed in the end.

"Aunt Xue and Aunt Deng are both my good friends. Tangtang, you can see that their conditions are not very good and it is not easy for them to make money, but I am just good friends with them.

Among my good friends, there are those who are rich and fashionable, like Chenchen’s mother and Aunt Zhao who met today, and there are also those who are not very rich, like Aunt Deng and Aunt Xue. So don’t think that people make friends because the other person is rich or poor.

I won’t use whether someone is rich or poor to judge whether I can be friends with them. Birds of a feather flock together. I can be good friends with them because we get along well. Do you understand? Are you still unhappy that I am friends with Chenchen’s mother and Aunt Zhao? "

"I..." After hearing what Shen Huanxi said, Xiao Yutang began to think, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't say anything.

"Tangtang, let me explain this to you again. You think that if I hang out with Aunt Zhao and Chenchen's mom, they will learn bad things, and you will dislike your dad for having no money, right?" Shen Huanxi said.

"That's right." Xiao Yutang answered without thinking. Their mother had been playing with those rich aunts, so she abandoned their father and divorced him.

"But I also make friends with poor aunts like Aunt Xue and Aunt Deng. If I'm so easily influenced, would I think your father is amazing just because I'm friends with Aunt Xue and Aunt Zhao?"

"Ah?" Xiao Yutang raised his head and looked at Shen Huanxi with wide eyes.

Shen Huanxi looked at the child's expression and knew that the child should understand a little bit.

"Tangtang, what kind of person a person is, that's what she is. It was determined when she became an adult, and it won't change much because of the outside world.

Just like seeds, tree seeds can only sprout into trees, and weed seeds can only sprout into weeds. The same is true for humans.

There is a seed deep in everyone's heart. The people she comes into contact with and the environment she is in are the conditions for the seed to germinate. If she is a tree, she can never become a grass.

If what I love most is money, no matter who I make friends with, I will love money. If what I love most is not money, even if I make friends with a hundred Chenchen mothers and a hundred Aunt Zhaos, I will not love money the most. Do you understand? "

"It seems... I understand a little bit." After Xiao Yutang understood, he suddenly felt even worse.

Just now Shen Huanxi said that birds of a feather flock together...

So their mothers wanted to be rich wives from the beginning, so they made friends with rich wives, rather than wanting to become rich wives after becoming friends with rich wives?

Xiao Yutang was very sad, but also somewhat moved.

He understood that Shen Huanxi woke them up and stopped them from taking a nap just to bring him to meet her two friends and tell him not to think it was bad for her to make friends with rich women.

It seemed that their own mother had never tried so hard to reason with them.

"What about you? Do you want to be rich?" Xiao Yutang suddenly asked.

Shen Huanxi shook his head, nodded, and shook his head again.

“No one doesn’t love money, because money is the guarantee of survival and life, but money is something that you cannot bring with you when you are born and cannot take with you when you die. I will not let the pursuit of wealth become the goal of my life.”

"Then what is your goal?" Xiao Yutang suddenly became curious.

"As for me, of course I will protect and accompany my children, plant trees and spend more time with them." Shen Huanxi said, and when he thought that he would have Chang'an and Changning by his side in this life, the corners of his mouth could not help but rise.

Xiao Yutang was silent for a moment, lowered his head, and looked at his toes as he walked.

"Do the children you mentioned include me and Zhengzheng?"

Shen Huanxi smiled.

"I am married to your father and am his current lover. If you call me mom, I will of course treat you as my children."

"Mom! Mom!" Xiao Yuzheng called out in a clear and crisp voice.

Xiao Yutang's mouth made an "M" shape, but he still didn't shout out in the end.

…

As the weather gets colder, the work of the Three North Command becomes busy again.

It is autumn and winter is coming soon. This season is not suitable for planting saplings, but as winter approaches, they also have to pay attention to protecting the trees from the cold.

After the trees have grown into a forest, there is no need to do these things. However, the trees used for sand control in Yunnan City were only planted in recent years, and many of them have not yet taken root, so cold-proof work is very necessary.

In the past few years when the people's communes still existed, the command center allocated tree planting targets to each commune.

Later, the commune was dissolved and the tasks were assigned to various towns, schools, and government agencies.

But after all, everyone has their own lives, work and studies, and they don’t have that much energy to take responsibility for these trees. Therefore, the subsequent care and management of these trees is not guaranteed. For example, protection against cold and frost still needs to be supervised or even done by the staff of the command department themselves.

There was a shortage of manpower, so even the publicity staff in the publicity department were called upon to help with the cold-weather preparations.

Shen Huanxi and his colleagues brought some wood cold-proof supplies and sat on small three-legged bikes with them. Director Zhou was also very moved.

"Xiao Shen, luckily you thought of letting the public get tree seeds and saplings for planting, so that the subsequent care of the trees will be guaranteed.
