Chapter 22: South Bridge Wants to Go to the Black Market



"I'll go help, you guys take your time," Sheng Yanchuan stood up and said to Nanqiao and the others.

Sitting down at the table, Nanqiao looked at the bowl in front of him and didn't know what to do.

Eating meat is not easy these days. Nanqiao felt even more uneasy when looking at the pheasant leg in his bowl.

There were nine people at the table, one pheasant and two legs, one in Uncle Sheng's bowl, the other in my own bowl...

Nanqiao was immediately embarrassed. "Aunt Xiumei, I'll give you this chicken leg. I'm not hurt at all, so I really don't need any supplements."

Nanqiao was about to pass the chicken leg to Aunt Xiumei, but before she could pick it up, Aunt Xiumei pushed it back.

"It's the food you're given. Just eat whatever you want."

Nanqiao had no choice but to give up. Uncle Sheng started eating, and the others also started eating.

Nanqiao looked at everyone casually

Aunt Xiumei and Taohua didn't care much, they were happy as long as they had meat to eat

Chen Nian kept winking at her, hinting at something, and only after being knocked by Nanqiao did she sit there and eat obediently.

Sheng Yanchuan kept asking her to eat it while it was hot.

She is the eldest daughter-in-law of the Sheng family. There is something wrong with the look in Sister-in-law Sheng’s eyes…

"Qiaoqiao, did you bring this from Shanghai too? Where did you buy it? Why haven't I seen it before?" Chen Nian picked up a piece of luncheon meat that Nanqiao brought and asked

Nanqiao nodded and said, giving the reason why he had already numbered it, "My eldest brother is in the army, he asked someone to bring it back, and my parents brought it to me when they went to the countryside this time."

"I told you, there are things in the Shanghai market that I don't know about," Shen Nian said with a look of sudden enlightenment.

"Oh, Mr. Shen has been traveling around a lot these years," Nanqiao said jokingly while eating.

"My parents are busy with work, so when I have nothing to do, I often go out and play with my brothers and sisters. They have been working for several years, so they know a lot and often take me with them," Shen Nian explained.

"Then you're fine. My brother is busy and doesn't play with me." Nanqiao said with some disappointment. This is why Nanqiao was spoiled in the past. Her parents and brothers only paid money but didn't accompany her. That's why Nanqiao spent money on others like a silly girl, thinking that this would buy her friends' company.

Who would have thought that she would meet Dong Jiayan and Qin Fang, who praised her openly but slandered her secretly? If she were to say, she couldn't blame anyone else, it was just that the original owner was too stupid.

"Qiaoqiao, is your brother in the army?" Aunt Xiumei suddenly asked

Nanqiao nodded and said, "Yes, it's my eldest brother. He has been gone for seven or eight years. He rarely comes home. This time I went to the countryside and couldn't contact my eldest brother."

"Your elder brother must be worried about you, so he will surely find a chance to visit you." Aunt Xiumei was also a little worried. This educated youth's family background seemed to be better than she expected...

She originally thought that the most common thing about the educated youth in Nan was that both parents worked, but this one had a brother in the army, and he had been on duty for many years, so his position couldn't be low. Now that there was an officer in the family, it was really a great honor.

Sheng Yanchuan paused while eating.

"I don't know, but his base is quite far away, so he probably can't come, and he doesn't have many holidays," Nanqiao said. It would be fine if she didn't talk about this. Nanqiao also missed her brother whom she had never met.

In her memory, the eldest brother came back once a year. Every time he came back, he would bring her many gifts. He said that they were bought locally when he was on a mission. There were small hairpins, handkerchiefs, and small woven vests. He even brought her a lot of colorful nail polishes once. I don't know where he went to carry out the mission.

When he left, he would give her a lot of pocket money, and the rest, except for what he used, he gave to his mother.

In the eldest brother's words, he didn't know what girls liked, but when he saw colorful things, he thought his sister would look good in them, so he bought her whatever he saw.

I never consider whether these things are expensive or worth it.

But Nanqiao had only seen her brother, who was so kind to her, a few times since she grew up. Even during this trip to the countryside, she was unable to communicate with her brother who was on a mission.

In the final analysis, the original owner's emotions were still influencing her subtly. Sometimes, if she didn't deliberately think about life in the 21st century, she would feel like she had lived here since she was a child.

The original owner's parents looked like her deceased parents, which helped Nanqiao integrate into the family little by little.

"It's okay. Your brother will come to see you if he has time," Aunt Xiumei said comfortingly.

He just glanced at his little son secretly, and added in his heart, 'I came back just in the hope that he wouldn't beat my silly son too hard... My little daughter, whom I dote on so much, was targeted by my own son within a few days of coming here. If her eldest brother knew about this... I don't dare to think about it.'

The more Aunt Xiumei thought about it, the more melancholy she felt. But when she saw that her son's attention was all on Nan Zhiqing, she sighed imperceptibly and said, "Forget it, forget it. Just let him be."

Nanqiao nodded as he listened to Aunt Xiumei's words, thinking that if he could go to town in a few days, he would have to call his eldest brother.

I guess my brother can't hit or scold her...

But, although she told Aunt Xiumei that she didn't know whether her eldest brother would come, subconsciously, she felt that her eldest brother would definitely come, and he would come as soon as he received the news...

I hope my parents haven't called my eldest brother yet, so that she can wait a few days before getting scolded... Nanqiao thought awkwardly while drinking her soup...

After finishing their meal, Nanqiao and Shen Nian walked slowly towards home, and once they got home, they went back to their rooms for a nap.

On the other side, in the courtyard of the male educated youth dormitory
