[Chapter 291 Chapter 291 I was fooled by that man! ]
The car was still moving when Shen Yuyao entered the space.
The pair of chopsticks that she had put into Cheng Liyan's backpack were now placed on the passenger seat together with the lunch box.
Shen Yuyao reached out and picked up the lunch box, and found that it was empty. Only then did she feel satisfied.
The lunch box contained the lunch she prepared for the man.
Cheng Liyan was driving, and when he saw the lunch box move out of the corner of his eye, he knew that his wife was coming.
He smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm fine here. This is still far from Jianmen, and I have to work for a while. Go back and have dinner with Xiaoyi before coming over."
Shen Yuyao ignored him, put the lunch box back into the space, and took out a new one for him.
She had prepared this in advance.
Because she thought it would be inconvenient to pack on the way, she prepared fried rice with diced chicken.
The diced chicken is made with the dried chicken thighs that my mother sent me. I cut the chicken thighs into small pieces and fried them with diced carrots, chopped eggs and rice.
The fried rice is salty and fragrant, and it is easy to eat. You can just scoop it up with a spoon without spitting out the bones.
Putting down the fried rice, Shen Yuyao took out a stew pot from the space.
After seeing his wife change the lunch box, Cheng Liyan obediently parked the car on the side of the road.
As soon as he parked the car, he saw the stew pot that appeared out of nowhere, and he couldn't help but twitch his lips.
Without opening it, he knew that this was the tonic soup that his mother-in-law had specially asked her family to send over when she was around.
He drank a lot during that period.
Cheng Liyan didn't know how his mother-in-law knew that he needed supplements. She gave him a bowl of soup every day and insisted that he finish it.
If it was his wife, Cheng Liyan could still resist a little, but facing the warm look of his mother-in-law, Cheng Liyan had to swallow his reluctance no matter how much he was unwilling.
So much so that later everyone who saw him would laugh at him, saying how come his wife didn't gain any weight while recuperating at home after giving birth, so how come he had such a rosy complexion?
Even Cheng Liyan himself felt embarrassed!
Looking at the soup, Cheng Liyan couldn't help but negotiate: "Let's not drink this soup yet. Can you use the kettle to make me a pot of strong tea? I feel a little tired driving alone. Can you make me some tea?"
Before Cheng Liyan could finish his words, a piece of paper suddenly appeared in front of him.
On it was written in his wife's beautiful handwriting: "Don't stay up late!"
I probably wrote it in a hurry, and the exclamation mark at the end was written so heavily that it scratched the back of the paper.
Cheng Liyan quickly explained: "If I don't stay up late, I can reach Jianmen around eight o'clock at this speed, and I will definitely stay in the county town at night.
Make me a pot of tea, otherwise it will be dark later and it will be unsafe for me to drive if I am sleepy."
Sure enough, after these words were spoken, there was no movement from the other side for a long time, and then after a while, a military water bottle appeared at hand.
Cheng Liyan ate the fried rice in big mouthfuls, and from time to time he took a sip of the fine tea that was obviously brought from the Prime Minister's Mansion...
I just feel that my life now is so happy.
Cheng Liyan was worried that if he continued like this, he would be spoiled by his wife sooner or later and would not be able to endure hardship.
While eating, he said, "Yuyao, pack the things that need to be put into my backpack for me. I'm going to the mountains early tomorrow morning."
"I'm free tomorrow, I'll follow you. It'll be too heavy to carry on the road if I pretend to be carrying it when I see Uncle Gu."
"You go ahead and pack it. I want to find a local guide tomorrow to take me to the quarry. If I carry an empty bag, people will be suspicious."
After hearing what Cheng Liyan said, Shen Yuyao felt that there was some truth in it, so she put the clothes, food and some medicine she had prepared in advance into her backpack.
After talking with Cheng Liyan for a while, and seeing that he had eaten and was about to set off again, Shen Yuyao came out of the space.
There were no street lights on the road at this time, and one had to be very alert when driving at night. Shen Yuyao didn't want her husband to be distracted by her at this time.
After eating something casually, Shen Yuyao took her son to rest.
No words were spoken that night.
The next day, Shen Yuyao got up very early, and her first reaction was to bring food to her husband.
But when she entered the space, she found that the pair of chopsticks was still on the passenger seat, but there was no one in the car.
Shen Yuyao looked out of the car window and found that the car should be parked in an open space at this moment.
There was a wall in front of the car, and the windows on both sides were empty, with nothing to see except weeds.
Shen Yuyao immediately realized that she had been fooled by that man!
The guy had originally promised that he would bring the chopsticks with him and put them in his backpack when he went up the mountain.
But now, he has clearly broken his promise!
Shen Yuyao thought again of how that man had insisted that she pack her backpack in advance yesterday, and she gritted her teeth in anger.
Only then did she realize that the guy had already prepared to prevent her from following him.
Although she was angry, Shen Yuyao knew clearly why Cheng Liyan did this.
He didn't want to witness with his own eyes the suffering that Uncle Gu and the others had to endure, so as not to feel sad as well.
Shen Yuyao sat by the bed for a long time, then sighed and stood up.
Now that things have come to this, it’s impossible for me to follow even if I want to. What can I do?
It takes most of the day to drive from Binhai to Jianmen, and it will probably take another half day to climb the mountain from Jianmen to the quarry where Uncle Gu and his team are.
So they definitely won’t be back within two days.
Shen Yuyao can't waste all her time waiting.
She had to start preparing things in advance.
After entrusting her son to Qiao An again, Shen Yuyao rode her bike to the small market by the sea.
She wanted to take advantage of the fact that there was still some time before she left, so she could come over often and buy some more seafood.
In addition to these fresh goods, Shen Yuyao also wanted to go to the small fishing village where Xiao Mei once stayed.
Shen Yuyao has been to that fishing village several times and now knows several people there.
She wanted the villagers to help her collect some good dry goods, and if there were any fresh goods that had just been unloaded from the ship, they could also collect some.
Now she had a good reason - she was leaving soon, so she bought some things for her relatives in advance, as they might not be able to buy them later.
It makes sense wherever you put it.
-
Ever since Mrs. Shen came back from visiting her daughter, her status in the family has almost reached that of the master.
There even seems to be a tendency to surpass it!
Especially the photos she brought back with her daughter, son-in-law, and grandson, those taken at the beach, in front of a warship, on a train, and in front of the department store where her daughter worked...
Her three sons and even her master were so envious!
These days, the eldest daughter-in-law almost worships her like an ancestor.
I want to run to her room three times a day!
It would be fine if she just paid her respects in the morning and evening, but she would also come over to join in the fun at noon.
She said she would serve me meals, huh, how could Old Madam Shen not understand her little thoughts?
The reason why he kept pestering her like this was just to hear her describe more about the new world her daughter was in.
That day, Old Madam Shen finally managed to get rid of her troublesome eldest daughter-in-law and wanted to go back to her room to rest.
As soon as I entered the inner room, I smelled a strong fishy odor!
