Chapter 21: Nanqiao's dumplings are especially delicious



As the night deepened, Nanqiao gradually fell asleep, having no dreams all night.

The next morning, the alarm in the space rang, and Nanqiao moved to the bedside and shouted towards Shen Nian's room.

"Shen Nian! Wake up!"

Nanqiao had just finished speaking when he heard Shen Nian's reply, "Right away, right away."

Nanqiao felt relieved when he heard the other party's reply.

Just lying by the window watching the other person washing and eating breakfast in the yard

"Qiaoqiao, let me pour you a basin of water, you can wash up in the house."

"No need, go to work, I can do it myself," Nanqiao said while lying by the window and looking at Chen Nian.

"Sister, I'm here" Taohua's voice rang out at the gate of the courtyard

Upon hearing the sound, Shen Nian hurried over to open the door and said, "Xiao Taohua, why are you here so early?"

"I heard from my brother that Sister Nan sprained her ankle, so I came to take care of her, and I also brought this," Taohua said while holding up the small walking stick in her hand.

"Wow, that's great. Sister Shen was just worried that your sister Nan was home alone, and Xiao Taohua is here. That's great." Shen Nian touched Taohua's little head and praised her.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Xiao Taohua, today." Nanqiao jumped out on one foot, holding onto the door.

"Sister, take this." Taohua saw Nanqiao coming out and hurried over.

"Damn, I'm going to be late. Qiaoqiao, you and Xiao Taohua stay at home. I'm going to work first." After saying that, Nanqiao took his things and ran away.

Nanqiao took the cane from Taohua and tried it. It worked quite well. Nanqiao leaned on the cane and pulled Taohua to sit on the rocking chair in the yard and asked,

"Taohua, is this made by your brother? It's quite useful." Nanqiao and Taohua were sitting on the rocking chair in the yard, rocking back and forth.

"My brother made it for me after I broke my leg. He also asked me to bring it to him because he knew my sister had sprained her ankle."

Nanqiao felt warm in his heart when he heard Taohua say this.

"Taohua, please sit down first. I'll go wash up." Nanqiao pointed to the basin filled with water and said

"Okay, sister, be careful." Taohua kept staring at Nanqiao, afraid that she would fall without noticing.

On the other side, Li Zhuoran looked at Shen Nian who was running over alone and asked, "Why are you alone? Where is Nanqiao?"

Shen Nian stood still, panting and said, "Qiaoqiao sprained her ankle, I just asked her for a few days off."

"I was fine at work yesterday, how come I sprained my ankle?"

"Didn't you go get the mail after work yesterday? I guess you didn't see Lu's injury when you came back. But it's okay, it's not serious. It will be fine after a few days of rest."

"That's good." Li Zhuoran nodded.

"Let's get to work. Finish it early because I have to go home to take care of Qiao Qiao." Shen Nian said, ignoring Li Zhuoran and went to work.

After working for a while, Shen Nian heard someone calling her, "Chen girl, come over and take a break. You've been working all morning." Aunt Xiumei, who was not far away, called out.

"Aunt, I want to work faster and go back early at noon," Shen Nian shouted to Aunt Xiumei, and had no intention of going over to rest.

"Come quickly, I asked Taohua to invite Nan Zhiqing to my house for lunch at noon, so you don't have to rush back to cook."

"Ah, really?"

"Yes, yes, come and sit for a while."

Shen Nian was relieved when she heard this. She was anxious to work and wanted to go back early because she was worried that Nanqiao would cook alone at noon. If she had already decided to go to Aunt Xiumei's house for dinner, she would not be in a hurry.

"Okay, there's no need to rush if we have lunch at noon. I'm worried that Nanqiao will have to cook by herself, so I want to go back early." Shen Nian responded and sat down next to Aunt Xiumei, saying with a smile.

"There is food, there is food, you won't go hungry"

"Aunt Xiumei, you are so nice," Shen Nian said, hugging Aunt Xiumei's arm and saying coquettishly

The aunt on the side saw that Shen Zhiqing and Xiumei were so close, and couldn't help but say with some envy, "It seems that your second boy has the hope of marrying an educated youth wife." After saying that, she looked at Shen Nian with an ambiguous expression.

Aunt Xiumei was a little anxious when she saw this. She couldn't let her son down. How could she let gossip about him and another educated youth before her son caught up with her?

"How is that possible? Shen Zhiqing is so beautiful, she must find someone from the city. How can my bastard be worthy of her?"

"Aunt, please don't say that. Brother Sheng and I are innocent. I just simply like Aunt Xiumei."

Aunt Xiumei's explanation is normal, as for Shen Nian...

On the one hand, she really had no feelings for Sheng Yanchuan, and on the other hand, she seemed to have noticed something was wrong between Sheng Yanchuan and Nanqiao.

As for what happened yesterday, with Nanqiao's personality, even if she sprained her ankle, she would not easily agree to be carried back by someone without being discovered.

But Nanqiao agreed yesterday and seemed very happy about it. This is a bit strange.

As the leader of her gossip squad, it is definitely not simple!!!

So when the aunts gossiped about her and Sheng Yanchuan, Shen Nian subconsciously rejected them. If she was really wrong, then he was her sister's man, and she didn't want to get involved at all.

Seeing Xiumei and the young educated youth refuse, the two aunts stopped being annoying.

"Okay, okay, let's stop talking. Look, they're going to eat people."

Shen Nian laughed when he heard this and said, "Oh, Auntie, you are exaggerating. I was just talking. How dare I eat people?"

For the whole morning, Taohua sat at a small table in Nanqiao's yard holding her textbook, doing homework and reading. When she encountered something she didn't understand, she asked Nanqiao to explain it to her. This lesson lasted until noon.

Nanqiao looked at her watch and estimated that Shen Nian would soon finish work, so she said, "Taohua, sister is going to prepare lunch, you can write it yourself first. If there is anything you don't know, draw it first, and sister will explain it to you later."
