"Did Ningning mention me in the letter? Did she ask you to bring me a scarf as well?"
Although Shen Zhengrong had already anticipated the answer, he still asked with some anticipation.
"No."
Zhou Yubai's two straightforward words hit Shen Zhengrong's heart, making him instantly dejected, as if he had lost his parents.
Zhou Yubai was very proud. It was great that his wife only had him in her heart!
After sending Shen Zhengrong away, Zhou Yubai took out a pen and paper and began to write a reply to his wife.
Although he had thousands of words in his mind, he couldn't write anything after picking up the pen. He was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks.
In the afternoon, the whole battalion knew that their commander had received a scarf knitted by his wife, and he treasured it very much.
By the next morning, the news spread that Zhou Yubai folded the scarf knitted by his wife next to his pillow before going to bed at night.
Shen Chu Ning naturally didn't know about the army's affairs.
She read at home until it was time to get off work.
Then he picked up two bags of egg cakes and went next door.
Today is actually a school holiday, so several children did not go to school.
Even though they don’t go to school, children as old as Zhou Xiaoai, Zhou Xiaoying, Zhou Hongjun and Zhou Minjun already have to help with the housework.
During this season, girls of Zhou Xiaoai and Zhou Xiaoying’s age usually help cut sweet potato vines.
After they cut the sweet potato vines, boys like Zhou Hongjun and Zhou Minjun carried them to the brigade's breeding point and handed them over to the brigade's pig breeders.
The keepers will give them work points based on the weight of the sweet potato vines each of them carries.
The team leader would also give the girls work points based on the area of sweet potato vines they cut.
Both adults and children were working in the fields, so they naturally wouldn't feel comfortable leaving children as young as Zhou Xiaolian and Zhou Yongjun playing by themselves, so they usually took them to the fields to play in the mud.
The adults dug sweet potatoes while watching them to prevent any accidents.
Therefore, when Shen Chu Ning came back this afternoon, there was no one at the Zhou family.
Everyone has returned now.
"Third Aunt, Third Aunt..."
As soon as she stepped into the next yard, she could hear the voices of several children.
But it was the three children from the second wife's family who surrounded her. The three children from the first wife's family glanced at Sun Fengjiao cautiously, then just greeted her in a low voice from a distance and did not dare to approach her.
Sun Fengjiao saw the looks of her three daughters, glared at them, and said fiercely: "Didn't you see that your third aunt is holding something? Why are you standing there instead of going over to say hello?"
Zhou Xiaoai and Zhou Xiaoying shrank their necks, and dared not get closer to Shen Chuning.
Zhou Xiaolian, on the other hand, was young and only remembered food but not beatings. When she heard what her mother said, she ran towards Chen Chuning with her short legs.
"Third Aunt, you are the best..."
Shen Chu Ning quickly greeted the little guys, "Everyone line up, it's time to distribute the egg cakes."
When Zhou Xiaoai and Zhou Xiaoying heard that there was egg cake, their eyes lit up and they wanted to go over, but after looking at Sun Fengjiao, they didn't dare.
Shen Chuning first distributed egg cakes to the three children of the second wife's family and Zhou Xiaolian.
Then he walked towards Zhou Xiaoai and Zhou Xiaoying, "Xiaoai, Xiaoying, you guys eat too."
The two little girls swallowed their saliva, hid their hands behind their backs, took a step back, waved their hands, and whispered, "Aunt San, we don't need it..."
Shen Chu Ning directly put a piece of egg cake into the hands of the two little girls, and said, "Aunt San will give it to you, you can eat it."
Afterwards, Shen Chuning walked straight towards Sun Fengjiao.
He took a piece of egg cake and fed it directly to Sun Fengjiao, "Sister-in-law, you should try it too. It's so sweet and fragrant."
Sun Fengjiao felt very annoyed when she saw Shen Chuning's smiling face.
She didn't want to eat Shen Chu Ning's food, but the egg cake was so fragrant that she couldn't control her mouth at all and swallowed it directly.
Sun Fengjiao's cold face could no longer be maintained.
Shen Chu Ning looked at her with a smile and said, "Sister-in-law, is it delicious?"
Sun Fengjiao tried to keep a straight face and walked into the house, but still responded with two words, "Delicious."
Shen Chuning looked at Sun Fengjiao's back with curved eyebrows. The sister-in-law is quite arrogant.
Lin Shulan in the main room saw this scene, touched Zhou's father and said, "Old man, you are right.
It's better for the third family to solve the problem themselves than for us to step in. You see, the people in the eldest family have been completely subdued by her, but they still feel a little embarrassed about it. ”
Father Zhou raised his eyebrows and took the opportunity to teach his wife a lesson, "I told you that children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, so you should mind your own business."
Lin Shulan was immediately unhappy and glared at Zhou's father, "I told you you're fat and you're out of breath, right?"
On the other side, Zhou Xiaoai and Zhou Xiaoying saw that their mother was eating Third Aunt’s food, so they also started to eat the egg cake without any psychological burden.
It's sweet, fragrant and soft, so delicious that it makes you want to swallow your tongue.
The children were very satisfied with the meal.
Shen Chuning gave Xia Yue'e another piece, and Xia Yue'e took it generously and thanked Shen Chuning.
Shen Chuning gave the rest to Zhou's father and Lin Shulan so that they could fill their stomachs when they were hungry.
When Lin Shulan saw that Shen Chuning bought things for them again, she was happy but also a little worried.
After Shen Chuning left, she couldn't help but mutter to Zhou's father, "Old man, you said that with the Third Old Man's family spending so much money, is the Third Old Man's salary enough for her to spend?"
Father Zhou also took an egg cake and ate it with a look of enjoyment.
Hearing his wife's concerns, he said with an open-minded look: "Young people have their own way of living, why do you care so much?"
Lin Shulan: …
This old guy's words are becoming more and more unpleasant to the ear.
