Chapter 84 On the Eve of Returning to Shanghai



Sheng Yanchuan looked at her expression with a smile on his face, and took out the chicken leg and gave it to Taohua on the side.

Taohua, who had been eagerly looking at the chicken in the big bowl, waiting for her mother to share the meat, was extremely surprised when she saw the chicken drumstick suddenly landed in her bowl. But when she thought that it was Sister Nanqiao's chicken drumstick, Taohua's pretty eyebrows slightly frowned, and she pushed the bowl to Nanqiao, "Sister Nanqiao, eat it. It will be very tiring to take the train tomorrow. Sister, eat more."

Nanqiao listened to Taohua's caring words and put the bowl of chicken legs in front of Taohua again. "Taohua, you need to eat more meat to grow taller. Sister doesn't like this."

"Eat quickly." Nanqiao pushed the bowl forward again. Taohua saw that Nanqiao was so determined and looked at her mother.

"Just eat what your sister gives you, Nan girl. Your aunt doesn't know what you like to eat. Just pick up what you want to eat. Don't be polite and treat it like your own home."

"Okay, Auntie"

Taohua felt relieved when she heard her mother say this.

"Thank you, sister." Taohua thanked her and looked at the chicken drumstick in the bowl, eating it carefully. In the past, chicken at home was cut into pieces. This was the first time for her to eat a whole chicken drumstick by herself.

Hui Ping had been staring at the chicken leg. After hearing Nan Qiao's words, she glanced at Nan Qiao inadvertently, with a flash of mockery in her eyes.

"I'm a good person, who wouldn't like to eat chicken legs? If you don't like it, why don't you give it to me? You snob!" Hui Ping cursed in her heart.

"Where is the educated youth from Nan going tomorrow? Why is he taking the train?" Although Hui Ping cursed in her heart, she also heard Tao Hua say that she was taking the train. She was very curious and asked regardless of Aunt Xiu Mei's unhappy expression.

Aunt Xiumei looked at Huiping unhappily when she heard her voice, but it was difficult to say anything at this time. She glanced at Nanqiao inadvertently.

At this time, Nanqiao heard the voice and looked up at Huiping. Nanqiao didn't have any feelings for Sheng Yanchuan, the eldest sister-in-law. The only thing he didn't like was that this person was sullen and could act strangely.

But no matter how unhappy he was, he looked up at Hui Ping and said, "I'm going to go home with Sheng Yanchuan."

"Go home? I remember you are from Shanghai, right? It's a big city. I haven't been there yet, and I don't know if I'll have the chance to go there in this lifetime," Huiping said with envy on her face.

Nanqiao smiled slightly and didn't respond. What's going on? From the tone of his voice, does he want her to lead her?

"It's probably quite far from here to Shanghai, right? It'll take a day? Two days?"

"More than two days," Nanqiao explained.

"It would be too painful to sit there for two days. If you are so resourceful, why don't you get a sleeper berth? Don't you work in town? Ask your colleagues. I heard that there are sleeper berths on the train. They are so comfortable, better than home." As soon as Huiping said this, Aunt Xiumei put her chopsticks on the table with a bang.

"If you don't want to eat, go home." Is this person here to cause trouble? What kind of words are these? I didn't think so before, but now Aunt Xiumei thinks she is more and more like her mother.

Sheng Yanchuan, who was about to speak with a frown on his face, said goodbye when he saw his mother's behavior. In his opinion, his sister-in-law was becoming more and more ignorant of her limits.

"Eat, how can I not eat? I haven't eaten meat for a long time. Don't be angry, Mom, I won't ask." When Huiping heard that she was asked to go home, she hurriedly coaxed Aunt Xiumei. She hadn't eaten the whole table of meat dishes yet, so how could she go back like this?

"You haven't eaten meat for a long time? We got so much money when the family was divided, you shouldn't be unable to eat meat, right?" Aunt Xiumei's gloomy voice reached Huiping's ears, it was like a death warrant. She subconsciously glanced at Sheng Yanjun who was sitting with his head down and his face as black as charcoal.

I smiled awkwardly, then kept silent and didn't dare to say anything more...

Aunt Xiumei, who has lived for most of her life, knows everything about Huiping's behavior. If she was not sure before, now she is 100% sure that this couple... doesn't have much money...

Seeing her like this, Aunt Xiumei no longer wanted to argue with her.

"Hurry up and eat," Aunt Xiumei said, and continued to share the chicken.

Sheng Yanjun looked at the chicken in his bowl and his wife who was eating without paying attention, and his heart was filled with mixed emotions.

"Well, let me hold Yaya, and you can eat too," Sheng Yanjun said as he looked at Aunt Xiumei, who was holding Yaya in one hand and had difficulty eating.

"Eat yours quickly, Yaya, you're being very well behaved."

Sheng Yanjun silently withdrew his hand and lowered his head to eat.

Nanqiao watched the interaction between the few people and exchanged a glance with Sheng Yanchuan, feeling helpless. It seemed that every family has its own problems. No matter how capable Sheng Yanchuan was and how much money he could make for the family, he couldn't help this capable sister-in-law.

After Nanqiao finished his meal, he asked Sheng Yanchuan to take two small cakes to share with the two children, then said hello to Aunt Xiumei and Uncle Sheng and returned to the Youth League.

Sheng Yanchuan sent Nanqiao to the educated youth center and watched her enter the house before going home.

At this time, there was only a dim light bulb in the yard of the educated youth camp. Nanqiao looked at the time and saw that he should have just finished his meal and returned to his room to rest, so he pushed the door and went in.

Shen Nian was sitting on a stool next to the table at this time, with his back to the door, so he didn't see Nanqiao come in. Keke and another old educated youth saw Nanqiao coming, nodded slightly and smiled, which was considered a greeting.

Wang Yuman had been feeling unsure about how to face Nanqiao since that incident. Seeing her come in, she looked away unnaturally.

Dong Jiayan looked strange, as if she wanted to say something to Nanqiao, but didn't know how to start.

Nanqiao didn't care about their reactions, he stepped forward and patted Shen Nian's shoulder, and sat down next to her.
