Shi family.
Shi Ning was sitting in the room doing his homework, when there was a knock on the door, and then Lin Xuemo walked in.
"Mom." Shi Ning called out obediently.
Lin Xuemo brought her a glass of milk and cakes she made by herself, and said with a smile, "Ning Ning is studying, is the school class difficult?"
Shi Ning: "It's very simple, I'm doing extra-curricular questions now."
Lin Xuemo was amused by her words.
"Let's understand the knowledge of the textbook first. Let's take it slow. You will be very pleased if you are willing to study your parents seriously."
As soon as Shi Ning saw her like this, she knew that her mother was suspecting that she was lying again. She suddenly hoped that the monthly exam would come soon, and she could prove it to her parents with a good score, so as to make them happy.
Lin Xuemo hesitated for a moment, then said, "Mom sees that you and your brother have been getting along well recently?"
"Yes, we have reconciled." Shi Ning replied.
Lin Xuemo pushed her another glass of milk in his hand: "This glass belongs to your brother, can you help my mother give it to him? Also, your father has something to tell you, you and your brother will come down later. ."
Shi Ning looked at the milk cup: "Mom, you can actually give it to your brother yourself."
Lin Xuemo smiled bitterly: "I gave it to your brother and he won't drink it. When you give it to him later, don't say that I made it, it's just that you made it for him."
Shi Ning: "No, I can pass it on for you, I'm not responsible for delivering the milk."
As she said that, she pulled Lin Xuemo to Shi Chen's room, Lin Xuemo held the milk cup and cakes with a helpless expression: "I'd better not go, your brother doesn't want to see me, why should I bother him."
"If you communicate too little, my brother won't know how good you are. When he understands your mother's painstaking efforts, my brother will respect and love you." Shi Ning held her back to prevent her from running away. "Look at my relationship with my brother before. It's not good now, and my brother is not as difficult to get along with as you think."
"That's different, no matter what I am, you and your brother are biological brothers and sisters, and he loves you from the bottom of his heart. As for me... Hey, that child resents me too deeply, I am a useless mother who has been here for so many years, It didn't make him feel maternal love." Lin Xuemo's face showed a look of remorse.
Shi Ning patted his mother's hand comfortingly.
"I used to have a lot of ignorance, always increasing the conflict between you and my brother. My brother is actually very fragile and needs love. Let's work together in the future to open his heart as soon as possible!"
Lin Xuemo looked at Shi Ning with tears in her eyes. She knew that her daughter had changed a lot recently, but she didn't expect her to become so sensible.
Yes. Even the child is so brave in defending this family, as a parent, she has no reason to back down.
"Okay, Mommy will work hard with you." Lin Xuemo said.
After several hesitations, with the encouragement of Shi Ning's eyes, she bravely knocked on Shi Chen's door.
It didn't take long for Shi Chen to come out and open the door. When the young man saw the person standing at the door, his usually idle expression became even colder.
"What are you doing here?"
"Brother, and me." Shi Ning stuck his head out from behind Lin Xuemo and greeted her brother.
Seeing the thick face of his sister, Shi Chen slightly restrained his disgusted expression, opened the door and continued to read on the bed.
Shi Ning gave Lin Xuemo a wink.
Lin Xuemo took a deep breath and walked into the stepson room with the tray in hand.
She put milk and pastries on Shi Chen's table.
"Auntie made some food for you. You should also pay attention to nutrition after studying, and don't use your brain too much."
She remembered that Shi Chen's grades have always been the first in the whole grade since the third year of high school, and when she saw him reading again, she couldn't help but warn him.
Shi Chen glanced at her coldly, turned the book over, and showed her the cover.
"How useful do you think watching this thing?"
His tone seemed to be mocking Lin Xuemo's ignorance, and the cover of the book looked like a cartoon.
Lin Xuemo was speechless and didn't know what to say. She was a little afraid of talking to her stepson, but now she was mocked by him, and she didn't know what to say.
Shi Ning came over at this time and took away Shi Chen's comic book without a word.
"What's so beautiful about it, let me see it too."
"Give it back to me." Because seeing Lin Xuemo, Shi Chen was in a bad mood.
Shi Ning sat directly beside his bed and started to read a comic book.
"Brother, go eat, I'll help you read."
Shi Chen said bluntly, "I don't want to eat it."
Shi Ning forked a piece of cake and put it to his mouth.
"Eat it. Mom made it by herself. It's delicious. I've tried it for you."
Shi Chen still didn't want to eat, so Shi Ning gave himself three minutes of thought work, and finally decided to use the biggest killer of women since ancient times - acting like a spoiled child.
"Brother, don't you really want to eat? I've already delivered it to your mouth, so just take a bite."
Her voice is soft and squeamish, soft and crisp, very pleasant, and the end sound is dragged for a long time, which makes people feel like stepping into the clouds.
Ever since he was a child, he was used to her arrogant and self-willed appearance, and now she was acting like a spoiled child by his side, and Shi Chen couldn't help but tremble.
"Then let me try?"
"Ok!"
When Shi Ning heard this, he smiled with satisfaction and handed over the spoon in his hand.
Shi Chen took a sip of her hand.
Both Shi Ning and Lin Xuemo nervously observed his expression, especially Lin Xuemo, she was afraid that Shi Chen would dislike it.
The cake is melt-in-your-mouth, sweet but not greasy. It tastes better than many cakes on the market. You can taste the maker's intentions at one taste.
"Is it delicious?" Shi Ning asked expectantly.
Shi Chen glanced at her, then looked at Lin Moxue over there.
Finally, he nodded slightly.
Lin Moxue let out a sigh of relief and showed a gratified smile: "If you like it, just tell Auntie if you want to eat it, and Auntie will cook it for you when you have time."
Seeing Lin Moxue's sincere face, Shi Chen couldn't say any more mean words, and besides, he had to give his stepmother some face even for this cake.
"Thank you." He threw out the words stiffly.
Lin Moxue heard a lot of "Get out of here." "Don't bother me." She almost burst into tears when she heard the words thank you.
"You child, thank you, what is it? Auntie should do it now." Lin Moxue said.
Shi Ning warmed it up while it was still hot, picked up the milk, and stuffed it to Shi Chen's mouth.
"And this, you have to drink too, and read the comics to replenish your brain, how tiring to guess the plot!"
He said he was going to give his brother milk.
Shi Chen frowned: "I don't like drinking this."
It's true, he really doesn't like drinking milk.
Shi Ning didn't care so much and forced to feed.
"That doesn't work either, drink milk and grow taller."
"You leave it, I'll drink it myself."
"Isn't it okay for my sister to feed you with her own hands? Hurry up and drink it."
"You really… I can't drink that much."
This scene is warm and beautiful.
Lin Xuemo watched the scene where the brothers and sisters were fighting, smiled, and quietly exited the room.
"I really can't do anything to you, so you can bully me."
In the end, under Shi Ning's coercion and inducement, Shi Chen couldn't drink the full glass of milk.
Strangely, the milk didn't seem so bad this time.
Shi Ning looked at the empty cup, contented, and showed a sweet smile.
"Where am I bullying you, I just think-"
She looked at her brother who was a head taller than her, and reached out to touch the top of his smooth hair.
"A brain as smart as my brother is the first to take the test, how can I make up for it."
The dim and warm indoor light shines on the girl's side face, which is quiet and soft.
Shi Chen finally understood why there was such a statement as sister control.
A creature like my sister, it turned out to be so cute when it was cute, cute enough to heal everything.
After the brothers and sisters finished chatting, Shi Ning took Shi Chen downstairs together.
"I have explained to my father what happened last time, and he regrets scolding you, but you know my father's temper. He must not be able to show his face to apologize. Your tone should be better for a while, there is no overnight feud between father and son." Shi Ning advised.
"Father and son didn't have an overnight feud. Our feud was separated by more than ten years." Shi Chen said.
Shi Ning: "..."
The two did not quarrel this time.
Shi Pingzhan: "The day after tomorrow is the weekend, and you are on vacation. You should know when."
Before Shi Ning said anything, Shi Chen said, "My mother's birthday."
Shi Pingzhan glanced at him.
"You only know your mother, and have you forgotten your grandma?"
It was only then that Shi Ning remembered that Shi Chen's mother, Cao Xue, had a birthday with Grandma Shi.
Shi Pingzhan said to them, "It's like this. Your mother came back recently, and she should have contacted you. Your grandma has always liked your mother, so your grandma wants to do this birthday with your mother."
…
What is this operation? Are they divorced and still treat their son as a daughter-in-law in the early stage
Shi Ning was speechless for Mrs. Shi's operation.
Think about it, unreasonable but plausible.
The Cao family and the Shi family are also family friends. Speaking of which, Cao Shu and Shi Pingzhan grew up as childhood sweethearts. Before marrying Shi Pingzhan, Cao Shu always recognized Mrs. Shi's godmother. .
Mrs. Shi estimates that she still recognizes Cao Shu as a daughter-in-law in her heart, and treats her as a daughter even if she is divorced.
"It's just a family banquet, not a formal banquet. I have business trips in those days and I won't go. Your mother will also follow me, so during this time, you may have to live at grandma's house." Shi Pingzhan said .
"Well." Shi Chen naturally had no objection.
Shi Pingzhan looked at Shi Ning and remembered that his daughter didn't want to see Lin Xuemo's relationship with her grandma because her grandmother had always defended Cao Shu. Now that her ex-wife was there again, Shi Pingzhan was afraid that Shi Ning would be disgusted and unwilling to go.
"Ningning, how about you?"
Shi Ning handed the peeled pear to Shi Pingzhan.
"I'm fine. It just so happens that I haven't seen my grandma for a long time. I will take this opportunity to accompany her with my brother."
Shi Pingzhan breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Your sister Chuyao is also back. She came back with Shi Chen's mother. You have a company to play with."
Shi Ning said in his heart that he didn't really want to play with Yu Chuyao.
Because of an urgent matter, Shi Pingzhan left overnight that night, and even took Lin Xuemo by plane to go outside the province.
The next morning, there was a knock on Shi Ning's door. She opened the door and saw that it was Shi Chen who was neatly dressed.
Shi Chen obviously used snacks on his clothes today. He was very handsome, and he also wore his favorite pair of shoes.
"We're going to go to grandma's house," Shi Chen said.
Shi Ning: "Okay, wait for me."
She said she was about to close the door and change into a dress.
"Wait." Shi Chen spoke again. "There's something I want to tell you."
Shi Ning looked at him suspiciously.
"The person who will pick us up is my mother," Shi Chen said.
