Back to my parents when I was seventeen

The breakfast shop is too tiring, and I need to get up early every day.

Moreover, Xu Chuning knew very well that You Shuzhen was not only good at breakfast and pasta. She would often research other dishes and cook them for Xu Chuning.

However, due to limited ingredients and conditions, she could only replace many of the delicious foods she saw on TV with other dishes.

But this is not a bad solution.

This saves costs.

You Shuzhen was stunned, then laughed and asked, "Why are you suddenly saying this, kid?"

"I thought about what Shen Yubai and Shen Sinian said before. The man who bought noodles just now also said that he came here to buy noodles because he saw his colleagues eating it and thought it must be delicious." Xu Chu Ning said lightly, "If that's the case, then why don't we make the store bigger? Put up a signboard."

Hearing what Xu Chuning said, You Shuzhen shook her head and said, "No, Mom can't do that."

Xu Chu Ning was helpless: "Mom, you haven't done it, how do you know you can't do it?"

You Shuzhen lowered her eyes, "Ningning, you're still in high school."

"..."

Xu Chu Ning was stunned for a moment, then reacted: "Mom, I know what you are worried about. I can work during the summer vacation after I graduate from high school. You don't have to worry about my university tuition and living expenses. I have already planned it."

Xu Chuning never wanted to be a burden to You Shuzhen.

Hearing this, You Shuzhen pretended to be angry and said, "You are my daughter. If I don't worry about your tuition and living expenses, who will?"

She scolded Xu Chu Ning, "Don't say such things in the future. Just study hard. Mom has saved your tuition and living expenses. After you graduate from high school, Mom doesn't want you to work during the summer vacation."

Xu Chu Ning's lips moved slightly, "But——"

"No buts." You Shuzhen was also very persistent on some things. "We'll talk about opening a restaurant later."

You Shuzhen thought for a moment and said, "After you graduate, if I can still work, I will consider it."

Xu Chuning knew very well that she only had one year left before the college entrance examination. At this critical time, You Shuzhen really didn't want too much fluctuation in her life.

She nodded, "Okay, but what I just said can actually be considered from now on."

You Shuzhen glanced at her and said, "I know. Just practice your calligraphy. Mom won't scold you."

Xu Chu Ning: “…Oh.”

She lowered her head to practice calligraphy, and You Shuzhen was afraid of disturbing her, so she said she would go to the next shop to sit for a while.

Xu Chu Ning knew that she wanted to watch TV.

She smiled and said, "Go ahead. I'll call you when there are guests."

The mother and daughter were each busy with their own things.

After practicing calligraphy, Xu Chuning wrote two more test papers.

In a few days, she will be able to finish her summer homework.

After staying in the store until night, Xu Chuning and You Shuzhen closed the store and went home together.

Walking into the familiar alley, Xu Chuning vaguely felt that something was wrong. Before she could react, You Shuzhen muttered, "Hey, it seems that all the light bulbs in the alley have been changed."

Xu Chu Ning was stunned. He looked up and found that all the street lights that had been broken and no longer lit up were lit up again.

Even the light bulbs that were still on but obviously not bright enough were replaced.

A neighbor happened to be walking behind the two of them. He heard what they said and smiled, "Yes, he came here this morning and said that someone in the community reported that the street lights in this alley were broken, so they were replaced."

You Shuzhen frowned, "Didn't you report this to the community before?"

"Why not?" said the neighbor. "I guess the people who reported it before didn't do enough."

You Shuzhen suddenly realized and smiled bitterly, "It's possible."

Everyone is very realistic.

In today's society, money and power carry relatively more weight.

As they were talking, they had already reached the door of the building where they lived.

Xu Chu Ning looked up inadvertently and found that even the light bulb in the stairwell that had been broken for a long time had been replaced.

"Have the light bulbs in the building been changed?" she said.

"Yes," the neighbor said, "It is said that the community has also issued an order to the landlords in this area to check the safety issues of light bulbs, wires, etc. in the common areas of each house. Maybe someone from above will come to check later."

She said to the two men, "Didn't you notice that the bicycles blocking the intersection have also been moved?"

You Shuzhen recalled: "I didn't pay attention."

Neighbor: “Then you can check it out tomorrow.”

You Shuzhen smiled and said yes.

After a few pleasantries, Xu Chuning and You Shuzhen arrived home.

After saying goodbye to their neighbors, the mother and daughter went into the house together.

After changing her shoes, You Shuzhen sighed, "It's good that the light bulb was finally changed."

Xu Chuning didn't say anything. She felt that the change of the light bulb was a little sudden. Unconsciously, a name popped up in Xu Chuning's mind.

But she quickly denied it.

Shen Yubai... shouldn't mind such trivial matters, right? Moreover, even if he did, with his status as the eldest son of the Shen family, it shouldn't be possible for him to put pressure on the community here, right?

Although he thought so, Xu Chu Ning still decided to mention the light bulb incident with Shen Yubai next time he met her to see his reaction.

……

In the next few days, Xu Chuning had no contact with Shen Yubai and Shen Sinian. They were busy, and Xu Chuning was also busy. She finished her summer homework in one go.

The day after finishing his summer homework, Shen Sinian had some time to rest and came to the shop with Shen Yubai.

Seeing them appear, You Shuzhen smiled like a flower, "Si Nian, Xiao Shen."

"Aunt You." Shen Sinian was holding a bag of fruit in his hand, "Do you miss me?"

You Shuzhen chuckled: "Of course I did."

She looked at Shen Sinian and commented, "You've lost weight."

"Aunt You, you have such a good eye." Shen Sinian raised his hand and touched his nose, "I only lost three pounds."

"Is three pounds not enough?" You Shuzhen said, "It's not good to be too thin."

Shen Sinian: "Not too thin, I eat very healthily."

You Shuzhen was skeptical, "Health comes first."

Shen Sinian: “I know.”

As soon as the two of them arrived at the shop, it instantly became lively.

Shen Sinian chatted with You Shuzhen for a long time. You Shuzhen asked him what he wanted to eat for lunch and she could cook anything for him.

Shen Sinian ordered the dishes without hesitation, and You Shuzhen looked at him and said, "I'm going to the supermarket across the street. You guys stay in the store."

After You Shuzhen left, Shen Sinian immediately moved closer to Xu Chuning, "Ningning!"

Xu Chu Ning raised his eyes: "You finally saw me?"

"I saw you a long time ago." Shen Sinian laughed, "What are you doing?"

Xu Chuning: "It's obvious."

Shen Sinian looked down, then suddenly looked at Shen Yubai opposite him, "This calligraphy..."

Shen Yubai glanced at him indifferently.

"What's wrong with the copybook?" Xu Chu Ning asked when he noticed something strange between the two.

Shen Sinian quickly shook his head: "No, I just think it looks a little familiar."

Xu Chuning said "oh" and pointed at Shen Yubai without thinking too much, and told Shen Sinian, "He brought it."

Shen Sinian: “…”

Shen Yubai: "..."

After a few seconds of silence, Shen Yubai raised his eyelids and asked, "How's the practice going?"

Xu Chu Ning thought for three seconds and answered him, "Practicing calligraphy is something that cannot be rushed, it needs to be done step by step."

Shen Yubai: "So?"

"So, don't ask me how my practice is going." Xu Chuning advised him not to ask.

Shen Yubai: “…………”
