A small hand grabbed Liu Yanning, she looked down, Abao pulled her, and the little hand pointed to her unfinished rice bowl.

Aunt Qin was also worried that she would suffer a loss if she ran recklessly, so she hurriedly persuaded: "Eat first." ”

Shen Mu wanted to persuade her, but he didn't dare to speak, he was also responsible for this matter. He was only busy with work, and Wu Guifen wrote letters from time to time to complain that Liu Yanning did not give them pension money, so he really thought that Liu Yanning had gotten the money.

"I'm to blame for this, I didn't take good care of your mother and son," Shen Mu took the responsibility on himself, "I will ask my mother to apologize to you." ”

When Liu Yanning heard this, he just sneered.

"Bao, you want to remind your mother to finish the meal, right?"

Liu Yanning no longer paid attention to Shen Mu, turned her face to Ah Bao, the coldness on her face suddenly dissipated, and her eyes were full of smiles when she looked at Ah Bao.

Bao nodded, my mother said that you can't waste food!

"You eat first, I'll sit outside for a while." Shen Mu didn't want to affect Liu Yanning and them to eat, so he was ready to withdraw.

Aunt Qin gave Liu Yan a look anxiously.

Shen Mu was about to walk out of the door when he heard Liu Yanning say, "Aunt Qin, didn't you say that you cooked too much today?" ”

Aunt Qin immediately smiled and said: "Yes, yes, on this hot day, I can't finish eating today, and I won't be able to eat tomorrow, it's a pity, Shen Mu, you can help eat a little." ”

Shen Mu couldn't have imagined that there would be such an unexpected joy at all, even if Liu Yanning's face was still not good-looking, Shen Mu also sat down at the table.

Po glanced up at him.

Shen Mu didn't know what to say to Ah Bao, and when he saw him eating obediently with a spoon, he praised him, "Ah Bao is so well-behaved, he doesn't want his mother to feed him when he eats." ”

"Po started eating by himself when he was two years old." Aunt Qin hurriedly came out of the kitchen with a bowl of rice and stuffed it into Shen Mu's hand, "Eat quickly, taste the craftsmanship of smoke condensation——"

Liu Yanning unceremoniously dismantled his own platform, "I helped pick a few beans." ”

Po pinched the spoon and snickered.

Shen Mu looked at Ah Bao intently, his eyes were big and dark, and when he squinted at people, he showed some of the whites of his eyes, revealing a sense of wit, which was very cute. Liu Yanning seems to like to wear suspenders and a white shirt for him, even if he eats by himself, there is no oil stain on the shirt.

Shen Mu took a chopstick to stir-fry seasonal vegetables, green and crisp, he thanked Aunt Qin for taking care of him, and praised him without hesitation, "Aunt Qin, you have done a good job of this dish." ”

Unexpectedly, these words opened Aunt Qin's chatterbox, "This is all forced out, don't you know, this lady can be picky when eating, she doesn't eat onions or garlic, and cabbage only eats vegetable leaves..."

Aunt Qin complained all over her stomach, and finally found someone to talk to, and Shen Mu politely did not interrupt her, Aunt Qin seized the opportunity to talk to him at length.

Liu Yanning ate quietly, as if she didn't hear it, and even poured a glass of water for Aunt Qin to moisten her throat.

Aunt Qin drank the water she poured, so she was embarrassed to read her anymore, smiled at Shen Mu, and took it.

The rice was not enough, so Aunt Qin cooked a pot of noodles for Shen Mu.

Bao finished eating early, Liu Yanning has always been slow to eat, and Bao sat patiently on the floor and played.

Finally waited until Liu Yanning finished eating, Ah Bao happily got up from the ground, and a walk after the meal was the daily routine of their mother and son, and Liu Yanning would also take Ah Bao to buy ice cream.

Liu Yanning didn't say hello to anyone, and pulled Ah Bao out of the door, Shen Mu hadn't finished eating yet, "Where are they going?" ”

"Buy ice cream. You eat slowly. Aunt Qin said.

Shen Mu sped up and finished the remaining few mouthfuls of noodles, and when he chased to the door, he found that Liu Yanning had already walked away with the child, and he didn't want to insert it forcefully. entered between their mother and son, disrupting their regular life, so they fell back and wanted to help Aunt Qin clean up the dishes and chopsticks.

Aunt Qin was taken aback by his actions, "Don't, don't move, I'll clean up!" ”

Shen Mu picked up the plate and walked into the kitchen, "It's okay, you rest for a while, I'll wash the dishes." ”

Aunt Qin disagreed, "This is my job, you go and rest, they will come back in a while." ”

The sun was slowly sinking, and the earth that had been scorched by the sun for a day was steaming, and after tea and dinner, a crowd of people gathered in the open space of the family courtyard to enjoy the coolness.

Obviously, Shen Mu, who had just come back, was their best talking point.

Jiang Dan pulled Xiao Tongtong back from the outside of the family home, Xiao Tongtong had to go out to class every Wednesday and Friday to learn English.

The two pulled their respective children and faced each other in a crowded place.

Jiang Dan smiled at Ah Bao, and then smiled at Liu Yanning: "Yanning, do you want to take Ah Bao to buy ice cream?" ”

Xiao Tongtong grimaced at Ah Bao from an angle that adults couldn't see, and also made a silent lip shape: Little fool!

Po glanced up at her mother, who was clearly not paying attention to him.

"Shen Mu's salary was given to Wu Guifen by you, right?" Liu Yanning was so straightforward that Jiang Dan was surprised, she didn't know how to deal with it for a while, Shen Mu didn't pursue this matter again during the day, Liu Yanning has been silent in the family home for several years, and she would stop her directly.

Jiang Dan stroked his hair, looked a little weak, and said in a low voice: "Yes-aunt is Shen Mu's mother after all, and receiving her son's salary is also in line with the regulations." ”

"Is that what your space institute stipulates? Then I have to ask the leaders of your unit, Shen Mudu specially applied for a salary and I will receive it, but you handed it over to Wu Guifen, is it really in line with the regulations. ”

When Jiang Dan heard that she was going to the Aerospace Academy to ask, she hurriedly said: "Yanning, I thought that you didn't have time to take care of the children, so I gave the money to my aunt, and I was also kind." ”

The attention of the people next to him was originally on Liu Yanning, and when they saw that she seemed to have an argument with Jiang Dan, they immediately gathered around to watch the excitement.

Seeing that there were more and more people, Jiang Dan was a little panicked.

Liu Yanning deliberately chose this time to block her, of course she wouldn't let her go easily, "We live in a family home, even if you think I don't have time to receive Shen Mu's salary and give his salary to his mother, you should tell me, right?" It's been four years, and you haven't seen anything when you look up, and you haven't mentioned a word. ”

Jiang Dan said sneeringly: "I thought you knew, so I didn't talk much, I did something bad with my good intentions, and I apologize to you." ”

Liu Yanning looked at the onlookers, if it wasn't for Shen Mu coming back, she wouldn't know that Shen Mu had applied for her to receive a salary, and Wu Guifen hadn't said anything about the salary in front of her, and these neighbors were just talking behind their backs, Liu Yanning was dumb and ate Coptis chinensis, and she couldn't explain it.

Shen Mu happened to come out to look for their mother and son, and when he heard Liu Yanning's voice, he hurried over, and saw Liu Yanning who was confronting Jiang Dancheng from a group of onlookers.

He quickly parted the crowd and squeezed in.

"Shen Mu is here!"

Jiang Dan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Shen Mu appear, and hurriedly said: "Shen Mu, it's good that you're here, take Yanning back quickly, so many neighbors are watching, and the impact is not good." ”

Liu Yanning looked at Jiang Dan, Jiang Dan's appearance was gentle, and she was pitiful when she showed weakness, but women understand women, Liu Yanning knew that the other party was not simple when she first saw this woman, she sneered and looked at Shen Mu.

Ah Bao craned his neck and looked at the adults around him vigilantly, he could feel that these people were hostile to him and his mother, especially Xiao Tongtong opposite, who kept punching at him.

Ah Bao clenched his mother's hand, his young heart hung high, he was not afraid of Xiao Tongtong, but these adults looked at his mother with unkind eyes, Ah Bao clenched his fists, wishing that he could grow very tall, so that he could protect his mother from being bullied.

Soon Ah Bao saw Shen Mu appear in the crowd, his mother said that this person was his father, Ah Bao observed his expression, unexpectedly, he did not find malicious intent in this person's expression, but was very worried and anxious.

Bao watched him run over and hugged himself, his arms were wide and powerful, completely different from his mother's softness, and the strange thing was that Bao found that he was not afraid in an instant.

Ah Bao turned his head to look at his mother, he wanted this person to protect his mother together, but he couldn't speak, Ah Bao patted Shen Mu's shoulder, pointed at his mother, and wanted to pass on his thoughts to him.

Shen Mu didn't understand what Ah Bao meant, he thought that Ah Bao was unwilling to let him hug him and wanted to return to Liu Yanning's side, but with so many people around, he was worried that Ah Bao would be frightened and refused to put him down.

Under Jiang Dan's gaze, Shen Mu held Ah Bao with one hand, grabbed Liu Yanning with the other, and said to Jiang Dan: "Yanning has indeed suffered a lot of grievances because of your work mistakes," after a pause, Shen Mu said to the crowd again: "While everyone is here, let me say, my salary in the past few years has been taken away by my mother, Yanning has had a very hard time with the child, I don't ask everyone to take care of their mother and son, but please don't arrange to slander her again, she is a good and conscientious mother, I don't want everyone to talk about anything behind my back in the future, if I hear, I'm going to ask the unit leader to uphold justice. ”
