Listening to Taohua's words, Aunt Xiumei knew that it was not a world she could touch or understand, but she just felt that they were living a wasteful life, as many of the things they spent were unnecessary...
Taohua looked at Aunt Xiumei's thoughtful expression and knew that there were some things that she couldn't understand, especially things across classes. Taohua didn't expect her to understand, as long as she didn't interfere.
"Mom, my brother and sister-in-law are married and have children. They can live their own lives. They know when to spend money and when not to spend money..."
"I know," Aunt Xiumei replied somewhat frustratedly, but Taohua didn't know whether she really knew or was just dealing with it temporarily. She just hoped that she really knew.
As they were talking, the group had already reached the gate of the courtyard. They opened the door with the key, took out the portion for the Nan family from their luggage, packed their own luggage, and then headed towards Nanqiao's house. Aunt Xiumei didn't say anything along the way, and no one knew what she was thinking.
When we arrived at Nanqiao's house, we smelled a fragrant aroma wafting out from the yard. The spicy smell made us salivate.
Taohua glanced at Aunt Xiumei, and the two looked at each other and continued to walk towards the yard.
"Sister-in-law, what delicious food are you making? It smells so good." Taohua put on a smile and went to the kitchen.
"Auntie Zhou made some spicy crabs. Try them. They are delicious." Nanqiao held half a crab in one hand and brought out a large plate of freshly made spicy crabs with the other hand.
"There is also a non-spicy one. I thought there are steamed crabs over there, so I'll make one with another flavor. You can try it and see if it suits your taste." Aunt Zhou took off her apron and looked at the Sheng family expectantly.
"Thank you, sister-in-law. Aunt Zhou's cooking must be delicious." Taohua thanked her and picked up two with chopsticks. She held one in her hand and gave it to Aunt Xiumei. She took the other and ate it herself.
"Mom, try Aunt Zhou's cooking."
Aunt Xiumei took it awkwardly and ate it like Taohua. The taste was more delicious than anything she had ever tasted before. She felt a little embarrassed about saying she wanted to cook.
"You guys eat too," Nanqiao said, pointing at the crabs on the table and the Sheng family.
The two kids took the non-spicy ones, and the Sheng family took the spicy ones.
"Let me try it. I haven't eaten it yet," Huiping said frankly.
"Sister-in-law, eat here..." Taohua taught Huiping where to eat, and the two children followed eagerly to learn. The others might be a little embarrassed, but they also secretly watched how Taohua ate.
"This tastes really good." Huiping took a bite and her eyes lit up. She looked at Aunt Zhou in surprise. She didn't expect that her cooking skills were so good. Maybe she could learn from her when she opened a restaurant in the future? Huiping thought to herself.
"As long as you like it" Aunt Zhou's smile became happier after receiving the compliment
"Do you want to eat more? If so, take a few more." Aunt Zhou looked at Nanqiao and Taohua and asked. The other people in the Sheng family were some distance away from Aunt Zhou, so they didn't ask.
Taohua shook her head and said, "No, I'll eat it in the evening."
Seeing that she didn't want to eat anymore, Nanqiao said, "Auntie Zhou, keep it warm in the pot and take it when you go downstairs. Yanchuan should be back soon."
Aunt Zhou nodded in response, put away the two boxes of crabs, and kept them warm in the pot, waiting for Sheng Yanchuan to come over and take them to the next room.
It was getting dark, and the night in Shanghai was a little chilly. The cool breeze was quite comfortable.
Nanqiao sat on the sofa in the yard with a blanket on her back, and Sheng Yanchuan sat next to her and hugged her.

Ying Xuechennian sat on another sofa and chatted with Nanqiao and the other two. Although the eldest and his wife of the Sheng family did not say anything, they also listened to the conversation.
Several children were laughing and playing around after having their meals.
Sheng's parents and Nanqiao's parents were sitting at the dining table chatting.
A peaceful scene
The sound of children playing and laughing is in my ears, and the fragrance of flowers and the smell of charcoal barbecue are in my nose.
No need to work, no pressure, the food is so delicious, and even chatting is not the bad gossip of the village. Aunt Xiumei feels a little strange... It turns out that life can be so...
"My dear relatives, we don't know much about opening a shop and doing business. If you have any questions, just let them do it. They are good at doing business." When I mentioned the future, I saw Aunt Xiumei hanging her head, thinking about something. I thought she was worried about opening a shop. Thinking about the past, my relatives never asked Nanqiao and his wife for help in order not to cause trouble for the younger generation, so I took the initiative to bring up this matter.
"Oh, I know. Huiping hasn't prepared anything yet. If there are any difficulties later, let the younger generation discuss it." After listening to Nan's father's voice, Aunt Xiumei put away her thoughts and replied with a smile.
"That's right. We'll all be in Shanghai from now on. Let's move around more. When Old Nan retires, he'll be planting flowers and raising grass every day. It'll be good to have a place to move around," Nan's mother said with a smile.
"That's great. It was far away and inconvenient before, but now it's close and it's convenient for us to move around." Aunt Xiumei replied. In fact, she knew that the Nan family was sincere, but she was just being polite. After all, he was the director of a factory. Even if he retired, there would probably be many people looking for him. How could he not even have a place to move around? But no matter what she thought, she still had to say what she had to say.
In fact, the Nan family really wanted to get along with the Sheng family. After all, it was their daughter's in-laws, and it was not difficult for them to get along well with their daughter. Even Nan Qiao gave the Sheng family a house, and Nan's father and mother knew about it and supported it. But maybe the gap between the two families was too big, and the Sheng family could never treat the Nan family's sincerity equally. The gap in cognition between the low and high positions is always indelible.
