"You are busy, but you also have to take care of your health." Aunt Xiumei replied unnaturally when her daughter said this. How could she not know how hard these two worked? Not to mention that they had made such a big business, even if Huiping was setting up a small stall selling sesame cakes now, didn't she still get up early and work late?
"Well, don't worry, Mom. We know what we are doing," Nanqiao replied. Not wanting to continue this topic, he changed the subject and said, "Mom, I saw a stove in the backyard. Is the one in the kitchen not enough?"
"Well, your sister-in-law asked someone to make it. Aren't there many people in the village going to the town to do some small business? Your sister-in-law thought she was just sitting around doing nothing, so she asked you how to make pancakes, and then she made some and brought them to the town to sell."
"Oh, so that's it. I always thought that sister-in-law was going to cook it for our family. So how was it?" As soon as Nanqiao finished speaking, Huiping's voice came from outside the door.
"It's selling very well. I can't take too much by myself, so I sold out and came back early."
"Sister-in-law" Nanqiao looked at the person who came and called out with a smile. Huiping was much more pleasing to the eye now than she was back then.
"Yanchuan, Nanqiao is back, Xiaoran and Xiaoche have grown up so much." Huiping said with a smile as she took out two ten-yuan bills from her pocket and stuffed them into Xiaoran and Xiaoche's hands, "Here, a meeting gift from my aunt."
"Thank you, auntie," the two children responded in unison.
"You're welcome," Hui Ping replied with a smile, and said hello to Nan Qiao before going back to the house to wash and change clothes. After changing clothes, she went to the kitchen to busy herself. Nan Qiao, who was sitting in the yard, whispered to Sheng Yanchuan, "Sister-in-law has changed a lot."
"I guess I don't have much hope for my brother anymore. It's better to rely on myself than on others."
Nanqiao curled his lips when he heard this. What's going on?
The family chatted and laughed as the sky gradually darkened. Sheng Yanjun, who had just finished his work in the town, strolled home. After reporting to Zhou Kai in the afternoon, he went directly to the warehouse and did not run into Li Feng, so he did not know that Sheng Yanchuan had returned.
As he approached the door of his house, Sheng Yanjun saw the car parked at the door, and his eyes immediately lit up. Isn't this the car he saw at the door of the courtyard today? A thought flashed through Sheng Yanjun's mind, so fast that he couldn't catch it, and at the same time he didn't want to believe that thought, so Sheng Yanjun subconsciously ignored it and didn't confirm it immediately. As a result, when he pushed the door into the yard and saw Sheng Yanchuan, the moment the thought in his mind was confirmed, he felt a little breathless.
Those well-dressed people seemed to be from a different world from him.
"Junzi is back," Aunt Xiumei said as she looked at the person who came in. As she spoke, she glanced at Sheng Yanchuan and Nanqiao unconsciously.
For people like Sheng Yanchuan and Nanqiao who work hard in the business world, restraining their emotions is as common to them as eating. Even though they are filled with mixed feelings, their faces are still very warm.
"Big Brother"
"Big Brother"
"Uncle"
"Uncle"
The four of them shouted in unison. Taohua on the side also stopped talking and looked at them cautiously.
Sheng Yanjun saw the smiling faces of Sheng Yanchuan and Nanqiao, and it seemed that they didn't care about him at all. The disagreements over the years didn't affect them at all. In Sheng Yanjun's eyes, it was like they despised him. Even if they were angry with him at the moment, he didn't feel that he was being ignored.
In addition to the possibility that Sheng Yanchuan was the second master Sheng, Sheng Yanjun didn't know how to face these people at this time. Even if Xiaoran and Xiaoche greeted him, he didn't respond and just went back to the house in a daze.
Suddenly, there was silence in the yard. Xiaoran and Xiaoche didn't know why this uncle, whom they hadn't seen for a long time, ignored them. After all, they were just children. After realizing that they were not liked, Xiaoran and Xiaoche walked up to Nanqiao, pulled the corner of Nanqiao's clothes, and their big eyes were full of confusion.
Nanqiao patted the two little ones' heads and comforted them, "Uncle is tired from working all day, just take a rest later."
"But mom and dad also work. After a tiring day, they still come home to bathe me and my sister and tell us stories." Xiao Che is more carefree than Xiao Ran. He said it subconsciously. Aunt Xiumei, Uncle Sheng, and Huiping all felt uncomfortable.
Yes, the children know this, how can they not know that whether he is a good husband, a good son, or a good father is never determined by whether he works or not.
Who isn’t tired? Does being tired mean you don’t have to do anything?
The whole family went to work, went to the town to sell things, who wouldn't be tired? They all came back to cook, wash clothes and chop wood. Except for Sheng Yanjun, who else was free?
"Okay, okay, let's eat." Huiping broke the awkward atmosphere and invited everyone to eat.
"Xiaoguo and Yaya haven't finished school yet at this time?" Nanqiao asked after checking the time.
"I guess he'll be back soon. It's about this time every day," Hui Ping said after checking the time. Sure enough, just as their meal was served, Xiao Guo and Ya Ya pushed the door open. When they saw Nan Qiao and the others, they didn't even have time to put down their schoolbags and happily ran up to call for help.
Nanqiao stuffed the prepared red envelopes into the hands of the two, and then asked them to wash their hands and eat. After Xiaoguo washed his hands, he still clung to Xiaoran like he did when he was a child, calling her "sister" sweetly.
"You kid, you've always been good when you see your sister Xiaoran." Huiping came out and saw her son sitting obediently at the table, looking at Xiaoran eagerly, and said unhappily
"Yaya, go call your dad," Xiumei glanced at the closed door and said to Yaya.
Yaya got up and went into the house to call for someone. She came out soon, sat down at the table and said, "Dad asked me to eat first and said I'll be out in a while." Her tone was calm, as if she had been used to it for a long time.
Everyone sat down at the table, and soon Sheng Yanjun came out. He just lowered his head and ate the food in front of him absent-mindedly. Xiaoran and Xiaoche didn't dare to say much when they saw him. They ate quietly the whole time. The atmosphere at the table was very low.
