"At that time, we didn't have enough to eat every meal, and you should have gone to school, but the old lady of the Shen family would never let you go to school.

She asked you and Yaya to pick wheat ears for Shen Baozhi to roast and eat every day, and also asked you to cut grass for pigs and dig wild vegetables every day. But even so, you two were clean every day. You mended your torn shoes neatly and washed your hair clean. Many children had lice on their heads, but we didn't.

At that time, the house we lived in was the most dilapidated, we didn’t have enough food to eat or warm clothes to wear, we were very pitiful, but you and Yaya would never cry loudly in front of others..."

After hearing the end, Shen Linfeng suddenly raised his head, his eyes shining. The problem that had puzzled him for a day was solved in an instant.

"Third sister, I understand. The environment is the environment, and people are people. What you do depends on yourself."

"My little brother is so smart." Shen Mingxi praised him generously.

In fact, the smartest one in this family is my younger brother.

Afterwards, Shen Mingxi talked to Shen Linfeng for a while, and after seeing that the boy had completely figured it out, he put aside his feeling of pity for Sanwang.

Shen Mingxi was relieved. Besides, Sanwang often bullied his younger brothers and sisters in the old house of the Shen family.

At that time, they thought they were a family, but under the instigation of the adults, the children had no family affection for them.

No matter how miserable their situation is now, it is their own business. Shen Mingxi doesn't want his younger brothers to get into unnecessary trouble just because they feel sorry for them.

Shen Mingxi left his younger brother's room and returned to his own bedroom. Yaya had already finished the cup of sour nutrient solution and fell into a sweet dream.

Shen Mingxi reached out and gently pinched Yaya's face before starting to do his homework.

Alas, she is still a student now.

…

One year later.

Cloud City of China.

In the early years, the Shen family manor was divided into two parts. Two-thirds have been turned into a park, and the other one-third is about 400 square meters. Together with the garden in front, the yard in the back and the lotus pond on the other side, it is almost 1,000 square meters.

This lotus pond is not big, and it is full of green lotus leaves and lotus pods.

There are still a few lotus flowers blooming on the edge of the pond.

Standing gracefully in the summer breeze, swaying slightly, waves of lotus fragrance quietly diffuse around the lotus pond with the breeze.

There is a pavilion not far away, and connected to the pavilion is a grape trellis, which is now full of thumb-sized grapes.

The road was paved with bluestone slabs, with low bushes on both sides covered with red chrysanthemums.

The yard is not as big as the former Shen family manor, but it is filled with a warm atmosphere everywhere.

Old Master Shen was sitting in the pavilion, and sitting opposite him was Shen Linfeng. The old man and the young were playing chess with serious expressions.

Yaya was skipping rubber rope with two little girls under the shade of a tree.

Although the weather was very hot, the three little girls had a lot of fun playing here because of the special geographical environment, which made it a good place to be warm in winter and cool in summer.

Chen Li was busy in the kitchen.

The aroma of food wafted through the air from time to time.

Then a black car stopped in front of the gate of the Shen family. The driver was Ouyang Xu, still in a black straight uniform, still handsome, and his peach blossom eyes still flashed with smiles.

He opened the back door and two girls got out of the car.

In a year, Shen Mingxi grew a little taller, with curved eyebrows and watery almond eyes that seemed to be filled with the sunshine.

Su Xiaojuan's height hasn't changed much, but as they say girls change a lot when they grow up, she has become more and more beautiful. The two of them have their own characteristics together, and they immediately attracted the attention of passers-by.

Shen Mingxi smiled and said, "Brother Ouyang, thank you for today."

Both of them were holding bags in their hands, obviously they were going shopping.

"Don't be polite, I just happened to meet you." Ouyang Xu's voice was also full of smiles, and then he changed the subject, "Xiaoxi, did you receive the admission letter?"

"No, but it will be soon."

Ouyang Xu nodded slightly and praised, "Yes, Uncle Shen's children are so outstanding. I believe the old man is the happiest now."

After Shen Jiawen was admitted to Peking University, the old man’s granddaughter was also admitted to Peking University, and she was the top student in liberal arts in the northern city and also the top student in the country.

I guess these two things alone will be enough for Mr. Shen to talk about for the rest of his life.

Not to mention others, even his great-grandfather was jealous and said sour words.

Shen Mingxi didn't shy away. "Yes, great grandfather and grandfather are very happy. Brother Ouyang, it's quite hot today. Come in and have a cup of herbal tea."

Ouyang Xu didn't hesitate and followed Shen Mingxi into the Shen family's yard. Su Xiaojuan followed with a smile.

Today, Su Xiaojuan is studying textile and design at a vocational school in Yuncheng, which she likes very much. Although her cultural level is not high enough, Su Xiaojuan is smart and has the bonus of Shen Mingxi's system and energy, so she caught up with the course in just half a year.

Although the results were not the best, they were not the worst either, which was already very impressive for Su Xiaojuan.

This courtyard of the Shen family was bought by Shen Yu in May this year. There are many twists and turns and some stories in it, but in the end the courtyard returned to the hands of the Shen family.

After all, the old man had lived here for a long time and had deep feelings for this place, so under Shen Yu's persuasion, he moved back.

The old man moved back first, and then after Shen Mingxi took the college entrance examination, the whole family moved in.

This place is also very close to Shen Zheming's home. The two girls jumping rope with Yaya are from Zheming's family, one is one year older than Yaya, and the other is one year younger than Yaya.

The older one is called Shen Zishuang and the younger one is called Shen Zitong.

The girls often play together and have a good relationship.

They have only lived here for a month now, but because Shen Yu bought it a long time ago, the place has been renovated to be very beautiful and warm.

Many of the flowers, plants and trees outside were replanted.

The trees are green and the flowers are blooming. In August, the flowers and trees at the gate of the yard are in full bloom and the most beautiful.

Shen Mingxi was the last one to enter the yard.

She stood at the gate and suddenly felt like a thorn in her back. She turned back involuntarily, and then her heart suddenly started beating wildly.

He blurted out, "Brother Anchen, you are here."

It's been more than a year since the two of them last met.

When they met for the first time, Shen Mingxi found that Feng Anchen had grown taller. He was wearing a white shirt, black trousers, and carrying a travel bag in his hand. His features were as delicate as a painting, and he looked handsome.
