"No need, Brother Zheng, wait until I buy it back. I don't know how much it costs now." Nanqiao, who had originally taken the envelope to see what was in it, stopped opening the envelope when he heard what Brother Zheng said, and returned it to him.
"Take it. It's not a small amount. We can't let you pay for it all. Keep it quickly. If someone sees us, they will think we are doing something." Brother Zheng said and stuffed the envelope back into Nanqiao's hands.
"Okay then, I'll keep it first."
"That's right," Zheng said and went back to the office.
Nanqiao came to the office today mainly to find Brother Wu Wei to get the sleeper berth certificate, so after Brother Zheng entered the office, he went to Brother Wu Wei's office.
To Nanqiao's surprise, Brother Wu Wei bought sleeper tickets for them.
"Brother Wu Wei, you have already bought the tickets for me!" Nan Qiao was very surprised when he saw the tickets Wu Wei put on the table.
"When you get the certificate, just let him do it together so you don't have to queue up again."
"Then I'll give you the money." Nanqiao looked at the face value of the bill and gave the money to Wu Wei, who accepted it without any rejection.
Nanqiao thanked Wu Wei and left the office. She had originally planned to get the certificate from Wu Wei today and then go buy a ticket with the letter of introduction.
This saves me a lot of trouble. So I went back to the office and started working. This is what Zheng asked me to translate. There is no deadline, so I can just do it when I have time.
Picking up the pen, Nanqiao bent over the table and wrote for the whole morning. It was not until the aroma of food came from outside that Nanqiao realized that he was already hungry. He stood up and tidied the things on the table. Then Nanqiao took the lunch box to the cafeteria. After eating, he returned to the office to work.
It was not until the end of the get off work day that Nanqiao put down her pen and rubbed her tired shoulders. She stood by the window and stretched. The pile of documents with no deadlines had allowed her to complete a lot that day.
I glanced at the time on my watch and realized it was time to get off work, so I packed up the documents on my desk, carried my small bag and went home with Sheng Yanchuan.
These days, Nanqiao has been busy translating at work, and spends his days buying local specialties after get off work.
The night before departure, Nanqiao and Sheng Yanchuan went back to the village and had dinner at Aunt Xiumei's house.
Nanqiao was stared at by the villagers from the moment he entered the village until he reached Aunt Xiumei's house. They kept looking at him and talking about something from time to time. Nanqiao, who was sitting in the back seat, gently tugged at the corner of Sheng Yanchuan's clothes.
"What happened in the village recently? Why is everyone looking at me?"
"Nothing, I guess you know I'm going to Shanghai with you," Sheng Yanchuan looked around and said nonchalantly.
"I have to say that the aunties and grandmas in the village are still very idle. They can make such a big fuss over such a small matter."
"After work all day, there is nothing to do, so we just sit and chat."
"Don't you do housework? Nowadays, every family has so many people, and cooking is hard enough." Nanqiao asked casually.
"That's because you have a daughter-in-law. Besides, every household now drinks brown rice porridge, which can be cooked."
"Oh, I forgot about that..." Accustomed to the division of labor in Aunt Xiumei's family, Nanqiao almost forgot that most mothers-in-law nowadays just leave their daughters-in-law alone after marrying them...
Nanqiao was once again thankful that she had not met that kind of weird family. However, from another perspective, if Sheng Yanchuan had that kind of family and did nothing, she would not be with him.
After all, it's quite happy to live alone without worrying about food and drink
While Nanqiao was thinking about it, the bicycle stopped at the door of Aunt Xiumei's house. What surprised Nanqiao was that Brother Sheng and his family were also there today. Nanqiao glanced at Sheng Yanchuan inadvertently, as if asking what was going on.
After receiving the signal, Sheng Yanchuan whispered in Nanqiao's ear, "Yaya has been with my mother for a while. Today is Yaya's birthday, so I called her to come together."
"Ah! Why didn't you tell me that Yaya had to bring a gift for her birthday?" Nanqiao covered her mouth and exclaimed in surprise, patting Sheng Yanchuan lightly.
"I bought some candies. We can share some of them later." Sheng Yanchuan looked at Nanqiao's panicked expression and comforted him.
"Children should not eat too much sugar," Nanqiao muttered, and suddenly thought of the old-fashioned cream cake she saw at the supply and marketing cooperative a few days ago. She bought a box for novelty. There were four small boxes in the box. She took a bite and felt it was too greasy, so she put it in the space and didn't move it. It was just the right time to take it out now.
He also whispered to Sheng Yanchuan, and when he heard the other party respond, he took out the small cake from the space while no one was in the room and gave it to Sheng Yanchuan.
Sheng Yanchuan put the small cake on the table and did not give it to Taohua and Yaya, thinking that he would tell them after dinner.
Compared to the happy atmosphere between Sheng Yanchuan and Nanqiao, Huiping and Sheng Yanjun were in dire straits.
What Sheng Yanchuan didn't know was that Sheng Yanjun originally planned to take Yaya home for her birthday, but something went wrong when Sheng Yanchuan asked Huiping for money to buy meat...
The night before...
"Huiping, tomorrow is Yaya's birthday. Please give me some money so I can go to town to buy some meat. Yaya has lived with her mother for so long, it's time to bring her back home," Sheng Yanjun said while eating. Even if it wasn't Yaya's birthday, he was planning to buy some meat in the next few days. In the first ten days or half a month before the separation, they could always eat some meat, and even if there was no meat on weekdays, they could always eat some vegetables. But now, not only do they have brown rice and porridge every day, but they also have pickles and pickles all the time. Every day is heavy physical work, and Sheng Yanjun could not bear it a long time ago. If he had not just separated from the family and did not want to cause trouble, he did not know how many times they would have quarreled during this period.
"What kind of meat should I eat on my birthday? You are just a kid." Huiping muttered, not showing any intention of taking the money.
