[Chapter 395 Chapter 395 A visitor from my mother’s family]
Cheng Liyan had no psychological burden at all when asking his mother-in-law for things.
Although my mother-in-law has only come once, we have been very close over the years. Even though we have never met again, it feels like we are living together.
Most of what they eat and drink every day is sent by their father-in-law's family.
After several years, even Cheng Liyan got used to it and felt that the food was lacking if he didn't eat it for a few days.
Not to mention that many of their family's underwear and outerwear were made by Shen Yuyao at the sewing room at home.
Cheng Liyan was better off. Most of the time he wore the clothes issued by the army, but all his white shirts and casual pants were made and sent to him from home.
Although Shen Yuyao had made clothes for others for a period of time before, she actually rarely made clothes for her family later on.
The main reason was that ever since Old Madam Shen had the clothing sizes for their family, they had so many clothes sent from home that they could not wear them all and there was no need for her to make any more.
Cheng Liyan later found out that even the woolen yarn that his aunt had sent from Hai City that year was eventually knitted by Shen Yuyao as samples and sent home so that the maids who were good at sewing could learn how to knit it for them.
Cheng Liyan would not argue with his wife about this matter, nor was he so pretentious as to wear clothes made by Shen Yuyao.
Soldiers don't have so many requirements. Besides, he would like his wife to have more rest when he has free time.
After so many interactions, Cheng Liyan had long been accustomed to treating the Shen family as the head of the family and the old lady as his own mother.
Why would you have so many concerns when asking for something for your mother?
So when he heard that Shen Yuyao had asked her family to make a custom desk for her, he immediately said, "Order a bookcase for me, too. I want the kind in Uncle Ye's study, not too big, not to take up too much space, and I'll leave space for a large sand table."
It has been Cheng Liyan’s dream for many years to have a study room and small conference room like the one in Ye Congjun’s home.
"I know, you don't have to tell me." Shen Yuyao said.
Cheng Liyan was very happy to hear that his wife had already reserved the things she wanted.
Because of the excitement, I started talking.
"Today I went to the military district and met with several old leaders, all of whom were my father's former comrades-in-arms. They asked us to visit their homes during our break.
I think this kind of thing may happen frequently for a long time in the future, so you have to be mentally prepared.
I can’t refuse these invitations from the elders.”
"You can visit if you need to. It's nothing. It's just that I'm going to start school in a few days."
"I know. I don't have time recently. I have to go to the army early tomorrow morning. They are waiting for me to take over."
As soon as Cheng Liyan settled down, he naturally took over the work.
When you first start working, you will inevitably be very busy.
This was something Shen Yuyao and the children had already anticipated.
Therefore, no one was surprised that he was not seen early in the morning, as they had long been used to it.
Cheng Liyan is busy, but Shen Yuyao still has a few days before school starts.
She planned to take her two children out for a walk during this time.
And that's what Joan planned.
Joan came to the door early in the morning.
"Xiaoyi and Nanxi are up too. Why are you up so early? I told you it won't be too late to call you later.
It's time to get up. Hurry up and pack up. I'll take you to have breakfast first, and then take you to the park for boating."
Joan stood at the stairs and greeted the two little ones who poked their heads out from upstairs to say hello to her.
Shen Yuyao had just gotten up and hadn't combed her hair yet.
She pointed at the table and said, "Pour yourself some water. I'll go clean up. You're here too early. It's only seven o'clock."
"How can we have breakfast if we arrive late? If we eat breakfast too late, we won't be able to eat lunch. We have already made reservations for lunch, at the same roast duck restaurant as last time. Lao Feng and I will welcome Cheng Tuan and his two children.
We will go together then, and the three of them can go by themselves."
"By the way, where's Cheng Tuan? He's not out jogging right now, is he?"
"No, he just went back to work early in the morning. I don't think he'll be back by noon, so there's no need to wait for him."
When Qiao An heard that Cheng Liyan couldn't make it back, she felt a little regretful but didn't say much. After all, as a military dependent, she was used to this situation.
As the two were talking, Shen Yuyao saw her daughter standing on the stairs, winking at her, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
He waved at her vigorously, looking very anxious.
What is this girl doing so early in the morning?
Shen Yuyao was a little puzzled.
"Sit down for a while, I'll go upstairs to change clothes."
"Go ahead."
After saying hello to Qiao An, Shen Yuyao went upstairs.
As soon as she stepped onto the last step, Nan Xi rushed over, grabbed Shen Yuyao and pulled her to her room.
Shen Yuyao was about to scold her daughter and tell her not to be so reckless, then she saw a little girl of about seven or eight years old wearing a Wushuang national dress standing in the open space of her daughter's bedroom.
Shen Yuyao: “!”
She subconsciously called out, "Ming Yue?"
Shen Mingyue raised her head and looked at the woman in front of her with excitement and curiosity.
Look at her, the aunt who is revered as a deity by everyone!
Since Shen Mingyue was old enough to understand, she has heard countless times about her aunt's miracles.
She knew that now in Wushuang Country, many people were worshipping their aunt's longevity tablet.
Especially the families of the soldiers, they regarded the aunt as a deity who could ensure their safety.
Shen Mingyue didn't know that her aunt was like this.
It doesn't look very majestic and makes people nervous.
On the contrary, she looked warm.
Shen Mingyue was extremely happy when she heard that her aunt could call out her name right away.
He immediately smiled.
However, she quickly put away her smile, and bowed deeply to Shen Yuyao with great seriousness and reverence to express her utmost respect.
"Mingyue meets aunt, I hope you are well." She said solemnly.
Looking at the little person in front of her, Shen Yuyao's eyes suddenly became wet with surprise.
How long has it been since she last saw her family?
She never thought that she would meet Xiao Mingyue at this time!
Looking at this child, she seemed to see her past self across the years.
The same innocence, the same clarity.
Shen Yuyao squatted down, helped Mingyue up, and held her in her arms.
It took me a long time to calm down.
Shen Yuyao quickly wiped away the tears that flowed from her excitement, and then asked: "Mingyue, why are you here? When did you come here? Are your father and mother okay? How about your grandmother? And grandfather, are they all okay? Do they know you are here?"
Shen Yuyao asked a lot of questions in one breath.
She could hardly suppress her inner excitement.
Mingyue blinked, as if she didn't know which question to answer for a moment.
At this moment, the small bowl placed on Nan Xi's bedside made some noise.
Several people turned around at the same time and saw several sets of clothes suitable for Mingyue. The clothes were passed to her from Xiaowan.
There was no need to ask, Shen Yuyao knew that these clothes must have been sent by her mother and third sister-in-law.
