After the vicious adoptive mother gave up, the scumbag children regretted it
Chapter 44: Warm Mother's Home
Shen Nanzhi greeted her mothers-in-law warmly and went to her parents' home according to her memory.
The main road is clean and there are not many idle people. Most of them are working in the fields. It can be seen that they are more hardworking than the people in Shimo Village.
In fact, farmers rarely have time to relax throughout the year. There is always work to be done. It depends on whether you want to be lazy or not.
Except for the winter when it is so cold that you can't even stretch out your hands, people who can stay at home during the winter are generally busy.
Even if you hibernate in the winter, you have to be a diligent person. If you pile up firewood early and have a full warehouse of food, then you can be a real hibernator. Otherwise, you are just enduring a hard life.
The Shen family also has a brick and tile house, which is not inferior to the courtyard built by the Jiang family now. The gate is locked and no one lives there.
Shen Nanzhi didn't know where he lost the key, and was wondering whether he should climb over the wall to get in.
"Nanzhi, is it really you? I saw your back from afar. Are you really back?"
"Well, I came back to see how Aunt Fang is. Is everything okay at home?"
This is the neighbor Aunt Fang, who has taken good care of her since she was a child. Poor girl, she has no mother, and she has watched her grow up. When she had her first menstruation, Shen Nanzhi also went to Aunt Fang for help.
Thinking of this, Shen Nanzhi felt a little more moved. The memories of Elm Village left to the original owner were much better than those of Graphite Village.
"Everything is fine. I just miss you. You didn't come back to do any work or pay respects on your father's death anniversary. Your uncle went to burn paper for your father. Is it because your in-laws are too strict and won't let you come back?"
Shen Nanzhi felt ashamed for the original owner. According to the custom in the countryside, after a person dies, there must be a grand ceremony to commemorate the death in the first and third years, and family members must be invited to visit the grave together. This is a big event.
The original owner did not come back to arrange the funeral for her father or even burn paper money because of Jiang Chen's opposition. She was really sorry for the love that Mr. Shen had for her.
Aunt Fang didn't mean to blame her. "It's hard for a woman to get married. The Jiang family is not very happy to marry you. I know you have a hard life. Your father won't blame you. I shouldn't say this. Come to my house first. No one has lived in your house for a long time. You need to clean it up."
"Okay, thank you, aunt."
Shen Nanzhi came this time to see the Shen family's attitude towards her so that she could make further plans.
Aunt Fang cooked her a bowl of sugar-water eggs and said, "Eat it quickly. Look at this meat. Did the Jiang family bully you?
Don't worry, I'll talk to the village chief and let him decide for you. He and your father are brothers in life and death, just like your uncle, so don't be afraid to trouble him."
"No, I'm losing weight. Being too fat makes it hard to move around, and it's not good for my health."
"Ah, it's bad for your health. The fatter you are, the luckier you are, right? Anyone who wants to be fat must be from a well-off family, otherwise how could they have such a big body of flesh?"
Aunt Fang's talk made Shen Nanzhi laugh and cry. Being a little fat was considered plump, but being as fat as she was was abnormal. How could it be considered a blessing?
"Sister Nanzhi, you're back. You've become prettier. Are you staying this time?"
Fang Tianzhu, the youngest son of Aunt Fang, came in. He was so happy to see Shen Nanzhi that he held him tightly and refused to let go.
The child is ten years old this year. A few years ago, he cried and shouted that he wanted to marry her and didn't let her get married.
When she got married, this child was the one who cried the most. Now he is ten years old, but he still has a childish face and still simply likes Shen Nanzhi.
Shen Nanzhi didn't expect that she would have a little suitor who wanted to marry her directly. She smiled and touched his head: "Tianzhu has grown taller and knows how to make your sister happy. I came back to see you. I have to leave."
Fang Tianzhu almost couldn't hold back his tears, he turned around and ran away. Since he had to leave anyway, why came back?
"This kid has a bad temper. He will be fine soon. Ignore him and eat quickly."
"Okay, I'll eat."
Shen Nanzhi did not refuse her kindness. She only served the sugar-water eggs to her closest relatives and did not want to let them down.
After finishing a bowl of eggs, Shen Nanzhi was full. Aunt Fang was so generous that she gave her five eggs.
"Auntie, I'm full. Is the village chief home now?"
"I'll go with you. If he's not here, I'll wait for a while. How could he not come back for lunch?"
Aunt Fang treated her affairs as her own. She quickly closed the door and took her to the largest courtyard in the village.
The village chief's surname is also Shen. He is Shen Nanzhi's cousin, named Shen Qingshan. He is three years older than Shen's father, but he is stronger than his father and has no problem working in the fields.
Shen Qingshan's family has more people. He has three sons and two daughters. After they got married, there are four or five more grandchildren, and the family is very lively.
"It's Aunt Nanzhi. Aunt, you're back."
Before Shen Nanzhi entered the door, he was surrounded by a group of children. The oldest was eight or nine years old, and the youngest was three or four years old. They were naked and barefoot, but they had bright smiles on their faces.
The children really don’t know what suffering is. They are satisfied as long as they have enough food to eat.
Shen Nanzhi took out a jar of rock sugar from the space and distributed it to the children. She should have bought some candy in the town earlier.
"Why give them so much? Just give them a sweet mouth. Nanzhi, you are too generous. Go and have fun, don't bother your aunt."
"Oh, go play, auntie, I'll catch some loaches for you to roast and eat."
"Okay, be careful and don't go into deep water."
Shen Nanzhi felt only kindness and warmth in her mother's village. No one laughed at or disliked her because of her figure or appearance.
A village like this shouldn't have fostered a character as inferior and unconfident as the original owner. What's wrong?
Shen Nanzhi couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it. He entered Shen Qingshan's house and saw his wife at home. She was also very happy: "Nanzhi is back? Oh, go find your grandfather. He was talking about Nanzhi yesterday and dreamed about your father. Your father missed you and asked him to go see you."
Shen Nanzhi: "..."
The love of her father is so heavy that she couldn't let it go even after his death. How unfilial she is.
"I also sensed that my father was worried, so I came back to see him and burn some paper for him. I'm fine, but my father is too worried."
The village chief's wife sighed, "He has a precious child like you, isn't he worried? Sit down quickly, I'll pour you some sugar water."
"No more poached eggs. I ate five and I'm full."
"How can five be enough? You could eat eight when you were twelve."
Shen Nanzhi was extremely embarrassed. Don't bring up the embarrassing things that happened at that time to attack her memory.
"I really can't eat any more. I'm not being polite."
According to seniority, Shen Nanzhi should call her aunt, and there was no sense of incongruity in doing so. In her heart, she truly acknowledged this elder.
After all, five eggs were laid. Shen Nanzhi laughed dryly: "I'll eat them later. Thank you, Auntie."
The village head's wife held her hand, tears welling up in her eyes. "My poor child, is it because your in-laws can't tolerate you? Don't be afraid, just come back. There will always be a place for you in our village. You look so thin, I wonder how much you have suffered."
Shen Nanzhi: "..."
