In the morning, Nanqiao, accompanied by Sheng Yanchuan, Jian Le and Jian Hua, visited several neighbors around. In the afternoon, he received many gifts in return. Some of the hosts who were not at home also visited Nanqiao the next day to return the gifts. Those upper-class people who were previously considered high and mighty and difficult to approach now seemed particularly friendly.
The friendship between people really depends on each other's confidence.
After receiving these guests, Aunt Zhou helped Nanqiao back to the living room. In the past two days, the new dessert chef in the kitchen and another chef besides Li Yan would take time to prepare some food in the morning and afternoon. They made a small amount of each dish for Nanqiao to taste.
But even if only a little bit of each dish was cooked, there was still a whole table. Nanqiao tasted a little bit at a time and was full for the whole morning.
Sheng Yanchuan would not be back at noon today. Nanqiao looked at the table full of food and felt a little worried. It would be a pity to throw it away. It would be troublesome to keep this small dish. After thinking for a while, he decided to
"Auntie Zhou, why don't you guys eat some of these dishes? I'm full."
"It's okay, we'll finish it later. The leftovers won't be wasted. See if there's anything you don't like to eat, and we won't make it in the future." Aunt Zhou won't waste anything. As for Nanqiao, even when her living conditions were ordinary before, Nanqiao never ate a single leftover meal, not to mention that Nanqiao is pregnant now.
"Okay," Nanqiao nodded in response, and ordered a few dishes that didn't suit his taste from the chef who was standing in front of him waiting for a reply. He also told the chef about his dietary restrictions. After thinking about it and finding that there was nothing missing, he asked them to go about their business or sit down to eat. He stood up and went to the balcony, where he lay on the lounge chair holding the handrail and basking in the sun through the gauze curtain.
Sheng Family
"Mom, you guys stay in the store this afternoon. I'm going out to buy some things."
"What are you going to buy? There are so many people in this store, why are you still running around?" Aunt Xiumei subconsciously stopped Huiping when she heard that she was going out. The store has been very busy recently. In addition, they are old and some things are really hard to get. Sheng Yanjun is a carefree person. This store is becoming more and more dependent on Huiping.
God knows how much trouble they had to worry about during the afternoon when Huiping was away.
"Go buy some gifts. You're going to Yanchuan tomorrow. Are you going empty-handed?" Huiping looked at her mother-in-law in confusion. The question was really inexplicable. But when she looked up at her mother-in-law, she saw her mother-in-law startled. She immediately realized that they had never thought of this.
Hui Ping was somewhat helpless in this situation. Even if she was not good at socializing, she still had to be polite....
They were invited to come over when someone moved to a new house. Even if it was their son's house, the in-laws would still go. They didn't ask a single question about the moving and purchasing, and now they plan to go empty-handed. What are they thinking?... Huiping really can't understand them.
"What? You're not buying anything? Are you going empty-handed?" Hui Ping straightened up and looked at her mother-in-law with a puzzled look on her face.
"Buy...buy it. Do you have enough money?" Aunt Xiumei said unnaturally. She had indeed completely forgotten about this matter... She only thought about how to treat her in-laws when she went there, and had never thought about this gift at all...
"That's enough. Can you help look after the store this afternoon?" Seeing that she agreed, Hui Ping did not ask any more questions and just went about her business.
In the afternoon, Hui Ping had just packed up and was about to go out when she ran into Tao Hua who was driving back.
"Hey, Taohua, you're back!" Huiping's eyes lit up. She was just worrying about how to get the things she bought back. This happened to be the perfect time.
"Yes, I don't have classes this afternoon, so I came back. Sister-in-law, are you going out?" Taohua saw Huiping walking out in a skirt and carrying a handbag, and she thought she was not going to the store.
"Yes, I'm going to your second brother's place tomorrow. I want to buy some things. Are you free? Why don't you come with me? I'm worried about how to carry the things I bought."
"Okay, let's go together," Taohua said as she took out the car keys from her bag and helped Huiping get into the car.
Hui Ping looked at Tao Hua's back and was filled with emotion. The little girl of those years now looked like a typical city girl, intelligent, beautiful, generous and knowledgeable. On the contrary, their family didn't seem to have changed much after coming to the city.
I have to say this is a really good era. Huiping followed Taohua into the car with envy.
The car drove smoothly onto the road, and Taohua asked, "Sister-in-law, why are you shopping alone?"
If someone else asked her this, Huiping might try to cover up for her family, making excuses like they were busy. But when facing Taohua, Huiping didn't have those concerns and started to complain to her without thinking.
"Don't mention it. I don't think Mom has any plans to buy anything. If I hadn't mentioned this today, she would have gone there empty-handed tomorrow."
"No way." Taohua frowned, and while driving, she glanced sideways at Huiping, as if to verify the credibility of her words.
"What's wrong with that? When I mentioned it this morning, my mother was obviously stunned for a moment. It was obvious that she hadn't thought about it," Huiping said helplessly. When Nanqiao was in the village, she would know to send delicious food over there. Now she doesn't even think about it when she comes to visit. She thinks her mother-in-law has been somewhat dissatisfied over the years and doesn't take it so seriously. Otherwise, how could she forget it? After being the director of the Women's Department for so many years, how could she not know the ways of the world?
Although Sheng Yanchuan is her son, Nanqiao is not, and the Nan family is not. She always has to consider the things that need to be done.
"Sister-in-law, I have something to trouble you about when I come back. I plan to find an opportunity to go abroad with my parents, but I guess they won't agree. Please remember to help me speak up for them when the time comes." Taohua is about to graduate from her sophomore year, and the procedures that should be handled during this period are almost all done. Because of this matter, she didn't know how to bring it up, so she has been hiding and seldom went home. Now it's time to confess. It just so happens that her second brother is moving this time and he has to come back, so she plans to wait until she comes back from her second brother's house before she tells him.
