After Shen Zhengxu carried the dishes to the main hall, she walked towards the main hall with He Hui, and said to He Hui with a mischievous look on her face: "Tsk tsk, sister-in-law, you and my brother are so-called honey-in-oil, right? The way my brother looks at you, tsk tsk, it gives me goose bumps."
As she spoke, she pretended to rub her arms.
He Hui's new wife was still thin-skinned after all, and when Shen Chuning teased her, her face immediately turned red to the root of her neck.
But at this moment, a tall figure happened to walk in from the gate of the courtyard.
He Hui immediately fought back, "Ningning, how dare you make fun of me! Don't you and your Zhou Yubai also hate to wear the same pants?"
Shen Chu Ning was about to argue that she didn't have any.
A shadow had fallen over her head.
At the same time, a warm, calloused hand grabbed her small hand and squeezed it gently. A man's deep voice came from above her head, "Why are you standing outside chatting with your sister-in-law? Are you cold?"
Shen Chuning raised her eyes to look at the man's resolute face, her beautiful eyes flashing, "Brother Yubai, why are you back?"
According to the frequency with which the man came back in the past, he would only come back three days a week at most.
This time the man just came back last night, so he shouldn't have time to come back today.
Seeing his young wife so happy, Zhou Yubai's lips curled up unconsciously, and he explained: "Recently, things at the oil field have been on track. I am not so busy for the time being. Unless there is an emergency, I can come back every day in the future."
When Shen Chu Ning heard this, she couldn't hide the joy on her face.
However, when she caught He Hui's mischievous look from the corner of her eye, she immediately straightened her expression and pretended to be steady and said, "Well, it's good to be able to come back every day."
He Hui, who was standing next to her, couldn't help but burst out laughing when she saw her pretending, "Okay, even if you two haven't seen each other for a day, you should hurry up and go into the house to eat and chat while you eat.
In this weather, the food gets cold as soon as it is served and no longer tastes good. ”
Zhou Yubai took Shen Chuning into the house to eat.
After dinner, Shen Chu Ning originally planned to go back quickly so that he could read for a while while it was still early.
Zhou Yubai said to Father Shen, "Dad, I have something to ask you. It's about Mom."
Shen Qingsong was stunned for a moment, but his eyes were obviously evasive.
But he quickly calmed down and asked, "Why did you suddenly remember to ask about your mother?"
Zhou Yubai’s eyes fell on Shen Chuning.
Shen Chuning remembered what Zhou Yubai had told her last night. He suspected that Wang Yumeng's obsession with the jade pendant had something to do with her mother's life experience.
She hadn't decided yet whether to tell Zhou Yubai about the space.
He felt a little guilty, afraid that Zhou Yubai would find out, so he didn't say anything at the time, but just nodded slightly in response.
Zhou Yubai glanced at Shen Zhengliang with a sharp gaze, and then did not hide anything, and directly told the Shen family his suspicions.
However, he omitted the fact that Shen Zhengliang had already given the jade pendant to Wang Yumeng.
Shen Zhengliang's heart was already hanging in the air when he set his eyes on him just now.
Now that I heard that he had no intention of filing a complaint, I felt relieved.
Then, Zhou Yubai told the situation he found out, "Based on my mother's name and the accent described by the elders in the village, I checked and found that my mother should be from Yangcheng.
The only wealthy family in Yangcheng with the surname Rong was the Rong family, a red capitalist family that made a sensation across the country in the early years.
On the eve of the founding of the People's Republic of China, disagreements arose within the Rong family, which split into two factions. One faction was pessimistic about domestic development and believed that the family should take their property abroad to avoid disaster, preserve their strength, and return after the motherland stabilized.
The other group firmly believes that they should advance and retreat together with the country.
Later, the Rong family split up. Those who wanted to go abroad went abroad, and those who wanted to stay in the country stayed in the country. ”
"But the group that stayed in the country encountered revenge from a defeated party member before retreating when the new country was about to be established and the dawn was approaching. It is very likely that my mother fled to our side because of that incident."
Shen Qingsong was silent for a long time before he said, "Actually, I don't know much about your mother. Your mother always said that the past is over and the people in the past are irrelevant. She just wants to live a good life with me.
She didn't want to say and I never asked her.
Yubai, Ningning, Dad is telling you the truth. If you hadn't told me these things today, I wouldn't even know these. I could only guess from your mother's words and actions that she was a lady from a wealthy family. ”
As he said this, he laughed a little self-deprecatingly, "Yu Bai just said he wanted to ask me some questions about your mother. I was shocked. I was afraid that there was something wrong with your mother's identity, and now she needs to be cleared up."
He was not afraid of being liquidated, but was mainly afraid of implicating his children.
After much difficulty, his children have all started their own families and are about to live a good life. He definitely cannot bear to see them being dragged down by any historical issues.
"Ningning, since the jade pendant is something your mother left behind that can prove her identity, you must keep it well and don't lose it." Shen Qingsong instructed.
Seeing that Shen Chu Ning was not wearing the jade pendant around her neck, she couldn't help but ask, "Hey, Ning Ning, why haven't I seen you wearing the jade pendant for some time?"
As soon as Shen Qingsong said this, Shen Zhengliang became visibly nervous.
Shen Chuning said quickly: "I put it away. Comrades in our commune don't like to wear these."
Shen Qingsong didn't doubt it, he just told her again to keep it well.
After finishing their conversation, Zhou Yubai and Shen Chuning went back to their homes.
Before the two of them had gone far, Shen Zhengliang chased after them, "Ningning..."
Zhou Yubai stopped walking while holding Shen Chuning in his coat.
Shen Chuning turned around and looked at Shen Zhengliang, "Second brother, what's the matter?"
Shen Zhengliang rubbed his nose awkwardly, and after a moment of deliberation, he spoke: "Ningning, in fact, the jade pendant is not that important, right?"
After he finished speaking, he quickly explained, "What I mean is, even if my grandparents were looking for someone, they couldn't determine who their granddaughter was just based on a jade pendant, right?"
Shen Chuning looked at Shen Zhengliang's appearance and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Finally, she just said, "Second brother, don't worry, since I asked you to give the jade pendant to her, I won't let you ask for it back.
But you have to remember, once you give her the jade pendant, you are done with her. My second sister-in-law will be coming home in a few days. You have to treat her well and live a good life with her. ”
Now it seems that the second brother's marriage to Li Xiaolan is a foregone conclusion. Since it cannot be changed, we can only hope that they can live a happy life after marriage.
Shen Zhengliang nodded, "Well, Ningning, don't worry, I know."
