"Let's go to my parents' house for dinner today. We have prepared all the food at home, all your favorites." After getting in the car, Sheng Yanchuan took the initiative to say
"Okay, are Mom and Dad healthy?" Taohua nodded and asked. In the past year, when she called her second brother and sister-in-law, she would also call her parents, but her mother would cry every time. Taohua didn't want this to happen, so the time she called home changed from once a week to once a month. However, she never stopped sending international letters, and sometimes she would even take some photos and videotapes and send them home to record her life for her parents and family.
However, Taohua called home early this time when she returned home. Knowing that she was going back, her mother might start worrying about preparing things for her. But she thought...even if she was worried, she was still looking forward to it happily.
Thinking of this, Taohua continued to ask, "Did your parents not bother you guys again in the past six months?"
"I'm in good health. As for other things...nothing. We've been very busy in the past six months, so we haven't had much time to go back."
"Is that so? Are you very busy with company matters?"
"It's quite busy. Chaoyang has acquired several pieces of land this year. Your sister-in-law is going to expand overseas, so there are many things to plan."
"It's not easy for you either," Taohua sighed. During the year she was abroad, she met many business tycoons with her mentor after studying. She used to just watch her brother and sister-in-law busy. Fusheng and Chaoyang were gaining momentum in the Shanghai market at that time and had no rivals. In addition, they all paid more attention to their families, so Taohua just felt that they were working hard, but she didn't feel any empathy.
But when she was in that position, she realized how much psychological pressure her brother and sister-in-law had to face every day when making decisions and developing the company.
There were so many social events to attend, so many people to support, and every decision affected the overall situation. Only then did she truly realize how hard her brother and sister-in-law worked to give them such a life.
However, Taohua should just think about this matter by herself. If Nanqiao and Sheng Yanchuan knew about it, they would probably feel ashamed of Taohua's feelings.
After all... they both worked hard, but they didn't really start from scratch.
To be honest, Sheng Yanchuan made a name for himself through his own efforts, while Nanqiao took advantage of every advantage. The two companies complement each other and cannot be separated.
The car was driving on the road. When it arrived at Sheng's house, Sheng's father and mother had already prepared fruit snacks, including Taohua's room.
"Old man, take a look, is there anything missing?"
"Is there anything missing? Taohua has everything she likes." Father Sheng looked at the table full of snacks and fruits and nodded.
"Mom, stop working. Taohua is coming back for a month. You can do whatever you want in this month. She won't be able to handle it even if you do it today," Hui Huiping said with a smile.
Huiping was really happy to know that her sister-in-law was coming back. The family was in a state of awkwardness now, and there were few opportunities to sit down and talk properly. Taohua’s return might help ease the relationship at home.
"Yeah, let's do this for now. I'll go out and see if they've reached the alley."
"Mom, I'm back!" As soon as Sheng's mother walked out of the main hall, she heard Taohua's voice coming from the front door.
"My daughter, my daughter is back!" Mother Sheng ran out excitedly, only to see Taohua running in from the door, with Sheng Yanchuan holding the child and Nanqiao walking behind.
"Mom, I miss you so much." Taohua saw her mother coming out and ran up to hug her.
"My Taohua, you are finally back." Mother Sheng held her daughter in her arms, her eyes red.
"Okay, mom, don't cry, I'm back safe and sound." Taohua wiped away her mother's tears and comforted her.
"Don't cry, don't cry, this is a happy thing." Mother Sheng wiped away her tears and took Taohua to the house, while she called Nanqiao and Sheng Yanchuan to come in.
"Is Xiaoran and Xiaoche not here?" Taohua went into the house to look for them. Just now when they were on the road, she thought they had come here first.
"They will be late. They have piano lessons today. They can come after that."
"Is that so?" Taohua responded, opened the suitcase brought in by the bodyguard, and distributed gifts to everyone.
Soon, Xiao Ran and Xiao Che were escorted in by bodyguards. They happily acted like a spoiled child around their aunt. The cheerful atmosphere made Xiao Heng, who had been nestling in Sheng Yanchuan's arms, struggle to get down and play with his brothers and sisters.
Mother Sheng looked at the laughter of the family and felt very happy. Thinking carefully, she seemed to have not seen such an atmosphere at home for a long time.
For a moment, I felt sad again
After lunch, Sheng Yanchuan went to coax Xiaoheng to sleep. Nanqiao originally planned to go to the kitchen to get a glass of water and rest for a while. As soon as he entered the kitchen, he saw his mother-in-law standing there, thinking about something. She stood there wiping the dishes in a daze.
"Mom, are you tired? How about I come over and you go and have a rest?" Nanqiao hesitated and asked. After all, they are still a family now. Seeing her like this, Nanqiao felt a little soft-hearted. Suddenly, he found that Aunt Xiumei in the village had also aged a lot.
Hearing Nanqiao's voice, Sheng's mother came back to her senses, turned her head and looked at Nanqiao, her expression froze slightly, as if she just realized what Nanqiao had just said, and hurriedly replied, "It's okay, these are all, I'll do it, do you want to pour water? There's hot water in the thermos over there."
"Okay." Nanqiao nodded and turned to get the thermos to pour water. Seeing that she insisted, he didn't say anything else.
Just as he was about to leave the kitchen after pouring the water, Sheng's mother's voice came from behind him. Her voice was hurried and a little anxious.
