Chapter 8 Reading
In the bedroom on the second floor, Chief Shen was lying on the bed reading a book with the desk lamp on. Du Lan was sitting in front of the dressing table applying lotion. Looking at her well-maintained face, she thought of Liu Mei's words and observed carefully. Sure enough, Shen Feifei's face shape was like hers. She went to the bed and looked at Chief Shen, his eyebrows and eyes. Shen Feifei's eyebrows and eyes were also very similar to Chief Shen's.

Duran couldn't help but sigh: "Fei Fei looks so much like you, especially her eyebrows." As he said that, he couldn't help but touch Chief Shen's eyebrows. Seeing his wife like this, Chief Shen put down the book and held his wife's hand: "It's not easy for that child these years. It's a blessing to be able to find her back. What plans do you have for her?"

Duran leaned his head on Chief Shen's shoulder. "I asked. Feifei never went to school. She said she didn't want to go to school and study with those kids. But she secretly studied and learned to read. She wanted to find a job. She said she wanted to be independent and couldn't just stay at home." Duran started crying. "How could this child be so sensible? She has suffered so much over the years. Those people in the Shen family should be cut into pieces!"

"Tomorrow, the police over there will go to the village to arrest people. Now that Feifei is back, let's treat her well and everything will be fine." Chief Shen comforted his wife for a while before they went to sleep.

In another room, Shen Yueru tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. She didn't believe that she had a twin sister. If she did, there would be no way that there would be no news at all.

However, this Shen Feifei looks so much like my parents, and my parents look so real. But when I thought about how I don’t look like my parents at all, I couldn’t help but feel a little nervous. I didn’t dare to think too much and forced myself to go to bed quickly.

In the early morning, the sun shines into the room from the window. Shen Feifei opens her eyes and gets up from the bed. Looking at the clean and bright room, she changes into a neat new set of clothes and walks out with a cane. An old lady in the kitchen comes out with a big bowl of porridge. When she sees her, she warmly calls her over to eat.

The table in the morning had rice porridge, pickles, steamed buns and two small dishes, which looked very rich. The lady saw her sit down and introduced herself enthusiastically: "You are Feifei, right? The commander told me about it. I am here to help with the cooking. Your parents are busy at work. If you have anything in the future, just call me. Just call me Aunt Li."

"Okay, Aunt Li, I'll trouble you to take care of me from now on." Shen Feifei said, picked up a bun, took a bite, and gave a thumbs up: "Aunt Li, your meal is so delicious!"

Aunt Li was so delighted by the praise that she smiled happily and went upstairs to call Shen Yueru and Shen Yaoyang to get up.

Shen Feifei was eating when Chief Shen came back from exercising outside. He washed his hands and sat at the dining table: "Feifei, you got up so early, how did you sleep last night?"

"I slept well. Dad, you're awesome for getting up so early to exercise." Shen Feifei looked at Chief Shen with admiration, "When my foot is healed, I want to go exercise with Dad."

"Okay then, let's go for a morning run together when we get back. Don't complain of being tired then." While the two were chatting, others also went downstairs to have breakfast.

Chief Shen asked Shen Feifei: "Feifei, I heard from your mother that you want to work, which is a good thing. But you don't have a diploma, so the job you can find won't be very good. Dad's idea is that you should study and get a junior high school or high school diploma first, and then Dad will find a way to arrange for you to work in a better place like the supply and marketing cooperative or the railway bureau. What do you think?"

"Dad, what you said makes sense. But my foot is injured and it's inconvenient for me to go out now. How about I study at home, and then go to school to take the exam when I come back, and get my diploma directly. Is that okay?" Shen Feifei asked.

Chief Shen looked at his wife. Duran thought about it and nodded. Chief Shen said, "Okay, you can study at home first. Your mother is an elementary school teacher. Ask your mother to bring back a set of elementary school textbooks from school today. Yueru has just graduated from high school and has nothing to do these two days waiting for assignment. Let her teach you."

After that, Chief Shen looked at Shen Yueru and asked her: "Yueru, are you available to teach your sister homework these two days?" Shen Yueru was eating, and when she heard Chief Shen's words, she raised her head and said: "Dad, Zhou Yitong came to see me today. We have to go to the hospital in a while, and then we have to go back to school."

"It's okay. Your mother won't bring the books back until tonight. You can teach her tomorrow." Chief Shen didn't care. Du Lan saw that Shen Yueru was still a little aggrieved: "Oh, Yueru finally has a holiday, and you want her to stay at home every day. Let her have some fun while she's not working."

Chief Shen thought about it and asked Shen Yueru, "Will Shaojun go back to school tomorrow?" Shen Yueru blushed and said, "He will go back to school too. My classmates and I have agreed to go out and play together in the next few days."

After hearing this, Chief Shen said: "Okay, have fun. I'll ask your mother to give you some more money later."

"Mom, when will big brother come back?" Shen Yaoyang asked Du Lan who was sitting next to him after finishing his meal. "He should be back soon. What's the matter? Do you miss your big brother?" Du Lan smiled and looked at his youngest son. "Did your big brother promise to bring you something good again?"

"Hey, I won't tell you. This is our secret." Shen Yaoyang's flowers made the whole family laugh. He left the table and picked up his schoolbag: "Mom, I won't wait for you. I'm going to school first!" He was about to run away, but when he passed by Shen Feifei, he made a face at her: "Illiterate! Shame on you!"

Shen Feifei was not angry. Instead, she smiled as she looked at Du Lan who was angry because of her youngest son. "Mom, I have to study every day in the future. Why not let Yaoyang come home from school and study with me? This will create a better learning atmosphere."

"That's a good idea. Let's do it this way for now." Seeing that it was getting late, Duran and Chief Shen went out to work one after another.

When Shen Yaoyang learned the news later, he felt like crying but had no tears. Shen Feifei smiled smugly and said, "This is what happens to you if you provoke me, little brat."

Aunt Li was cleaning the table when there was a knock on the door. Shen Feifei saw an ordinary-looking girl coming to see Shen Yueru. After the girl and Shen Feifei got to know each other, Shen Yueru pulled her out.

Shen Feifei was in a better mood than last night. She had learned a lot of things at the dinner table just now.

She saw two names above Shen Yueru's head, namely [Zhou Yitong] and [Hou Shaojun]. Zhou Yitong was not a child from the military compound, but from the family compound of the garment factory next door. She, Shen Yueru and Hou Shaojun grew up together and were in the same class. The three of them were often together.

And that Hou Shaojun was the youngest son of the commander, whom Shen Yueru had just gotten engaged to two days ago.

This week Zhou Yitong has an average appearance, looks generous and decent, and is very cheerful, but when Shen Feifei saw the words "Shen Yueru" appearing above her head, she could only say that it was very shocking.
