Don't talk nonsense, this is the Emperor's Banner

Chapter 28 At Home
"Dad." Shen Siyuan called out.

Shen Jianjun stopped the car and just nodded to him with a serious look and no smile.

But Shen Siyuan has gotten used to it. From childhood to adulthood, his father has always been serious in his memory.

But his personality is just the opposite, he is a very gentle person.

Seeing him carrying a lot of things from the back seat of the motorcycle, Shen Siyuan stepped forward to help, but was avoided by Shen Jianjun.

"It's heavy, I can do it myself."

Shen Siyuan was also helpless, as he still treated him as a child.

However, Shen Siyuan really did not intervene, but asked directly: "What are they?"

"Two chickens and some eggs. When you go to see grandma in the afternoon, bring these to her." Shen Jianjun said.

Shen Siyuan's grandmother is Yu Suzhen, who lives in nearby Yujiazhuang, which belongs to Qingshui Town together with Linjiaopo. She is seventy-three years old this year. As for Shen Siyuan's grandfather, he was an educated youth who was sent down to the countryside. He divorced his grandmother in order to return to the city. His grandmother never remarried and raised his father alone.

Shen Jianjun and his wife also invited her to live with them, but after a while, she felt uncomfortable and insisted on going back, saying that she was in good health and could take care of herself, and would come back to live with them when she could no longer move and was bedridden.

The old lady had a very stubborn temper, and the couple couldn't do anything about her, so they could only agree to visit her more often and take care of her on weekdays.

"Oh, I haven't seen grandma for almost two months."

He came back once a month ago, but he came back in a hurry and didn't come to see her.

"Well, your grandma misses you. I bought her a mobile phone, but she doesn't know how to use it and she doesn't want to be taught..." Shen Jianjun said helplessly.

I went into the house and put the things in the refrigerator. It was hot and if I didn't put them in the refrigerator, they would start to stink by the afternoon.

"She's so old, if she doesn't know how to use it, just let her be."

"I thought that if she missed you, she could call you herself," said Shen Jianjun.

Shen Siyuan was silent, then asked: "What about the phone? Is it turned off?"

"No, your mother has always paid her phone bill. She can't make calls, but she can answer them. We sometimes call her, but she often forgets to charge her phone. I can only charge it when I go there..."

"Leave it to me, I'll talk to her in the afternoon." Shen Siyuan said.

At this time, my mother Huang Huijuan came out of the kitchen holding a large glass of water.

"Old Shen, drink some water."

Shen Jianjun took it naturally and drank it down with his head tilted back.

Huang Huijuan naturally took two tissues from the table and helped him wipe the sweat from his neck.

While wiping, he said with disdain: "Look at you, you smell like sweat. Go take a shower and change your clothes first."

She said this, but there was no trace of disgust on her face.

"No need. If I cook right away, I'll be sweating again." Shen Jianjun said.

"My son is back now, let him cook." Huang Huijuan said.

Shen Siyuan: ...

I promised to cook his favorite green fish and edamame chicken when I got home? But after all this time, he still had to cook it himself.

In the end, lunch was still made by dad Shen Jianjun, but Shen Siyuan helped out.

As for Huang Huijuan, she was sitting in the living room, clasping her hands, watching TV with a silly smile.

Both father and son have gotten used to it and don't think there is anything wrong with it.

While cooking, Shen Jianjun also asked about Shen Siyuan's work, saying that if he was not satisfied with his work, he could come back and raise chickens with him.

The chickens he raises are purple shell chickens unique to Qiongzhou. This type of chicken is characterized by its square body, short and thin legs, thin skin and crispy bones, and sweet and tender meat.

Therefore, purple shell chicken is one of the four famous dishes of Qiongzhou. It has good sales and there is no worry about sales at all.

But Shen Siyuan was not willing to do it. Raising chickens was hard work and it was also very boring. Although he made less money at work now, the work was easy and comfortable. However, Shen Siyuan did not say anything definite, but just said that he would think about it.

Shen Jianjun just said this and didn't force it. He was not too old and in good health, so he didn't need Shen Siyuan to come back to help him.

"By the way, who did my mother introduce to me?"

"Did your mother tell you?"

"No, I guessed. She urged me to come back. What else could it be?"

Shen Jianjun was also amused when he heard what he said, and a rare smile appeared on his face.

"It was your seventh aunt who arranged it for you. It was a girl from the neighboring Shiqiao Village. She also works in Binhai..."

Shen Siyuan listened to him for a long time and asked directly: "Is she beautiful?"

"What's the use of being beautiful? When looking for a partner, you should look for someone with good character and who knows how to manage a life." Shen Jianjun said dissatisfiedly.

"Why did you marry my mother in the first place?"

There is definitely no problem with Huang Huijuan's character. As for whether she knows how to live, well...

"Because she's beautiful."

"Hehe~"

Both of them were happy.

"What are you two talking about? You look so happy. Let me be happy too."

"I told you you're beautiful."

This time, all three of them were happy.

After lunch, Shen Siyuan didn't delay and rode Shen Jianjun's motorcycle directly to Yujiazhuang.

It’s not that my dad can’t afford a car, but he just likes riding a motorcycle. I really don’t understand what he is thinking.

He doesn't think he looks cool riding a motorcycle, does he?

It is indeed possible to think so. Although Shen Jianjun now has round cheeks and a big belly, when he was young, he was a handsome young man in the area. After all, his grandmother had good genes, otherwise Shen Siyuan's grandfather, who was sent down from Shanghai, would not have married her.

Thinking of his grandmother, he became impatient. He rode his motorcycle through the tree-lined path dappled with sunlight, heading towards Yujiazhuang in the breeze, and his speed increased unknowingly.

Fortunately, it was noon and there were not many vehicles on the road. Apart from paying attention to chickens or dogs that would pop out from time to time, everything was safe.

In fact, it is not far from Linjiapo to Yujiazhuang, and it only takes more than half an hour to ride a motorcycle.

It's just that the road is a bit winding, with tree-lined avenues, riverside roads, and low ridges, which can make people who are not familiar with it feel dizzy.

Shen Siyuan's grandmother lives at the northernmost end of the village. After entering the village, turn right and ride forward for four or five minutes, and you will arrive directly at the door of your grandmother's house.

The red brick and tile house that my grandmother lived in before was too dilapidated, so a few years ago my father built her three flat-roofed houses with a cement floor in front of the door, and in front of it were stretches of rice fields.

In terms of living environment, it is better than where Shen Siyuan and his family live now. At this moment, the cement ground in front of the door is full of dried radishes drying in the sun.

Probably hearing the noise of the motorcycle, grandma came out of the house.

Her face was wrinkled and her body was thin. She was wearing a gray cloth dress and a blue headscarf on her head.

Because my eyesight is not very good, I like to squint when looking at people.

Seeing that it was a motorcycle, he immediately said, "It's Jianjun who's back."

"Grandma, it's me, Siyuan." Shen Siyuan turned off the motorcycle.

Upon hearing this, grandma immediately strode forward, a bright smile breaking out on her wrinkled face.
