Chapter Twenty-Nine: Once Upon a Time
When Shen Jiao was a small group, he was held in Aunt Li's arms, and the little Shen Jiao was like a white rice ball, sweet and soft.
Aunt Li never got married in her life.
I also talked about a boyfriend when I was young, but according to the words of young people now, that person is a scumbag.
She was cheated out of all her money by him, but fortunately a lady took her in, and she was hurt too much at that time for she to trust anyone else.
She came out of the mountains, couldn't read a few big characters when she was a girl, and was deceived again.
At that time, the Shen family was the best choice for her.
No one thought that she would stay for many years, and she watched Shen Liqing go from being a little immature at work to dealing with everything now.
She grew up with Shen Jiao.
From a child who can only drool, to a little bean seedling who runs behind people with short legs, and then to Miss Shen who is praised by everyone, until now it has been revealed that she is not the real daughter of Mr. Madame.
She has participated in almost every important node in Shen Jiao's life, Shen Jiao is no longer just a little master to her, and she has long regarded Shen Jiao as her own child in her heart.
She was afraid that Shen Jiao would not be able to pass the hurdle in her heart, so she always paid attention to her movements.
Some time ago, Shen Jiao's crazy appearance really scared her.
The impression of Shen Jiao has always been weak and gentle, and he has never complained about anyone, even if he is sad, he is just hiding alone in a place where no one is crying silently.
She still remembered that once, Shen Jiao couldn't complete the task left by his wife that day because she was not feeling well.
It just so happened that the company didn't have anything important to deal with in those days, and Shen Li would be at home every day.
When Shen Jiao's pipa teacher told Shen Liqing that Shen Jiao had not completed the task today, Shen Jiao stood aside, his face pale, and his whole person was obviously worried.
Shen Liqing's face was a little bad at that time, and the teacher was a little unbearable, so he helped Shen Jiao speak.
But Shen Liqing just listened to the teacher quietly, and after she finished speaking, Shen Liqing asked her to send the teacher out.
The tone was very calm, and Aunt Li even thought that she had listened to the teacher's words and would not blame Shen Jiao for not completing the task.
But by the time she sent the teacher away and returned to the living room, the living room was already empty.
Then there was a burst of music from the piano room upstairs, and the door of the room was not closed, leaving a small gap.
Shen Jiao sat on the stool with the pipa in his arms, his slender back was straight, and the movement of plucking the strings in his hand was a little jerky, Shen Liqing didn't say anything, but his brows furrowed even more.
Shen Jiao sniffed imperceptibly, a bit like a sob.
But her complexion was the same calm as Shen Liqing, except for the red at the end of her eyes, she couldn't see her uncomfortable grievances at all.
Because the state was not returned, Shen Jiao played for an hour.
It was already winter at that time, and Shen Liqing may have punished Shen Jiao, so there was no air conditioning in the piano room.
Bounced to the end, and by the time Shen Liqing was satisfied, Shen Jiao's slender fingers had already been frozen red.
Aunt Li felt that Shen Liqing was a little too ruthless.
Shen Jiao has been excellent since he was a child, because he is not feeling well, he will not fall too far in a day, why do you have to force a child to be like this?
But after all, she is just a servant of the Shen family, no matter how long she stays, she shouldn't go beyond the rules to take care of some things that shouldn't be in her hands.
She just silently put water at the right temperature for Shen Jiao to soak her hands, and then carefully used skin care things to maintain Shen Jiao.
Shen Jiao has learned a lot of things, and her hands are very important to her, so she only hopes that she won't have chilblains this year, otherwise she will be sad.
Aunt Li wiped her hands for her while giving Shen Jiao a huff in distress.
This is a trick often used to deal with children, and she often does this to Shen Jiao when she was a child.
But when Shen Jiao grew up, she didn't let Aunt Li do this, she said that she was not a child anymore.
After many years, Aunt Li snorted for her again, and Shen Jiao laughed all of a sudden.
The smile was shallow, and it couldn't get into her eyes full of sorrow.
"Auntie still thinks I'm a child?" She tilted her head, as innocent as a child.
"In my heart, you will always be a child."
Shen Jiao's hand twitched, she thought it hurt her, so she slowed down her movements, but a drop of water stains fell on the back of her hand.
She looked up and found that Shen Jiao was crying, without making any sound, and tears were all over her face.
The tip of his nose and the tips of his ears were all flushed with wetness, and he looked pitiful and helpless, like a child who had not been given candy.
But Shen Jiao's sadness has nothing to do with candy, more about grievances and incomprehension.
She may not understand that Shen Liqing wants to treat her so strictly, and she can't figure it out, so she can only cry.
Shen Liqing didn't like to see Shen Jiao's weak side, so Shen Jiao had to cry in front of her.
For the first time, she took Shen Jiao into her arms after she became an adult, and patted her on the back as she had done before to ease her emotions a little.
"Madame is for your own good, Kyaukjiao, she just wants you to be an excellent person too much, so it is inevitable to be harsh on you."
"She may just not realize that you are very uncomfortable, don't be sad, where are parents who don't really love their children?"
In order to make Shen Jiao cry less, she had to say these words to comfort her.
Finally, she took out another candy, wiped the tears off Shen Jiao's face, and sent the candy to Shen Jiao's mouth.
"Eat some sugar, you like sugar the most."
Shen Jiao cried sadly, and her thick eyelashes were wet into clusters, sticking to the skin under her eyes, which was very pitiful.
A large piece of the fabric of Aunt Li's chest clothes was soaked.
But she still had candy in her mouth, her cheeks bulged a little, and she was a little coquettish.
Aunt Li didn't know how to love Shen Jiao at this moment.
has seen so many daughters of other people's families, and Aunt Li still selfishly thinks that Shen Jiao is the best.
"Thank you, Auntie."
Shen Jiao rubbed the tails of her eyes in embarrassment, she was ashamed that she had shown her vulnerable side.
"Say thank you, hurry up and rest, Kyaukjiao, I have to get up early tomorrow."
I have to go to class tomorrow, because playing the piano delays the time to sleep, if Shen Jiao can't get up tomorrow, Mrs. will be unhappy again.
Shen Jiao also thought of this, and obediently went to bed and lay down.
After leaving Shen Jiao's room, she saw a jar of hand moisturizing cream in front of Shen Jiao's door, this bottle she had seen, and Madame would often use it in winter.
She reopened the door of Shen Jiao's room and showed the jar to Shen Jiao.
"This is what Madame just sent, and she is also distressed."
Shen Liqing's behavior is very similar to a slap and then a sweet date.
But Aunt Li knew that Shen Jiao needed this 'sweet date'.
It's a way to prove the love that a stern mother has for her.
Despite the secrecy, despite being late.
