Back to my parents when I was seventeen

After the two turned their heads, Deng Xitong said, "You haven't said anything yet, is there anything happy?"

"Yes." Xu Chu Ning said with a curved lip, "My grandma is here."

Deng Xitong exclaimed, and then remembered: "Is the store open today?"

Xu Chu Ning: "What?"

"If it's open, let's go visit grandma after school."

Xu Chu Ning shook his head, "Not today, but tomorrow."

"That's fine." Deng Xitong nodded, "How long will grandma stay here?"

Xu Chu Ning didn't know yet, "I should go back after the Chinese New Year."

However, Xu Chuning was not very sure. What if her grandmother could not adapt to the life here and clamored to go back to her hometown, she and You Shuzhen would be helpless.

But Xu Chuning hopes that her grandmother can stay here until the New Year, and then they can go back to Pingning together.

Deng Xitong nodded, "That's great, we miss grandma, so we'll go see her on the weekend."

Xu Chu Ning chuckled: "You are welcome anytime."

After grandma came, Xu Chu Ning began to look forward to the holiday.

She wanted to take her grandmother out for a walk during the holidays. When she went back to Pingning before, her grandmother often asked her what fun things there were in Jiangcheng, whether she had been to that place on TV, and whether it was really that beautiful.

Xu Chu Ning naturally had never been there.

Therefore, she wanted to go with her grandmother, You Shuzhen, and You Ying.

They are happiest when their family goes out.

After school in the afternoon, Shen Sinian and Shen Yubai were going to the basketball court to play basketball and asked Xu Chuning if he wanted to watch.

Xu Chu Ning refused without even thinking about it.

Shen Sinian: "Then you go back alone first?"

Xu Chu Ning: "Yeah, you two have a good fight, I'll go back to the shop first."

"..."

When Shen Yubai walked from the international class to the basketball court, there were only Shen Sinian and Yu Gaoyi by his side. He looked around and asked, "Where's she?"

Shen Sinian: "Grandma is more important than us."

Shen Yubai: "..."

He paused, not surprised.

When we returned to the shop, grandma and You Ying were both there.

Xu Chu Ning shouted, "Grandma, I'm back."

Grandma walked out of the store with a smile, "Are you tired from school?"

"Not tired at all." Xu Chu Ning smiled and acted coquettishly with her grandmother, then looked at You Ying, "How did you feel in the store today?"

"Not bad." You Ying looked at her, "Sister Ningning, I want to find some books to read."

Xu Chu Ning nodded without hesitation, "Okay."

She recalled that many of her books were still in the house nearby. She and You Shuzhen had not yet completed their lease, and the landlord did not agree to early termination, so they did not move all their belongings.

After thinking for a while, Xu Chuning and You Shuzhen said, "Mom, I'll take Yingying to the house over there to find some books."

You Shuzhen gave her the key and asked, "I want to go with you?"

"No, just stay in the store and look after grandma." Xu Chuning refused, "The two of us can carry it."

You Shuzhen nodded hesitantly, "Okay, call me if you can't move it."

"know."

The two left the shop, and Xu Chuning took You Ying towards the village in the city.

You Ying looked around and asked in a low voice, "You and mom lived here before?"

"Yes." Xu Chu Ning said, "Mom should have told you, right?"

You Ying nodded, "I know Uncle Xu and Aunt Ye are your biological mothers."

Xu Chuning responded.

The two walked while chatting.

When they walked downstairs, You Ying whispered, "It's so dark in here."

"Yes, a little bit." Xu Chu Ning reminded her, "Watch the road."

The two went upstairs and entered the house. You Ying was stunned, "Sister Ningning."

Xu Chu Ning turned around: "What's wrong?"

You Ying shook her head. "It's nothing, actually. I just noticed that you and mom had suffered a lot before."

Xu Chu Ning was startled, then smiled and said, "It's not bad. The place we live in is indeed small, but my mother and I have cleaned it up well. Don't you think so?"

"I think so." You Ying answered her.

The two of them dug out the textbooks Xu Chuning had used in junior high school. After sorting them out, Shen Yubai called Xu Chuning and asked, "Are you at the rental house?"

Xu Chuning: "Well, your game ended so quickly today?"

"Is it fast?" Shen Yubai asked, "It's been more than an hour."

Xu Chu Ning was stunned. Only then did he realize that he and You Ying had stayed in the rental house for a long time. "You came to the store?"

Otherwise, he wouldn't know that she and You Ying were here.

Shen Yubai: "Well, I'm heading towards you now."

Xu Chuning: "Then we'll wait for you."

"it is good."

After hanging up the phone, Xu Chuning stopped You Ying who was about to pick up the bag and said, "There are laborers coming."

You Ying blinked and smiled knowingly: "Sister Ningning."

Xu Chuning: "What?"

You Ying: "Brother Yubai likes you, right?"

"..."

Several people mentioned this matter within a day, and Xu Chu Ning couldn't help laughing, "I don't know."

You Ying's eyes widened, "Really?"

"Really." Xu Chuning teased her, "Your brother Yu Bai didn't say anything, so I don't know."

You Ying was at a loss.

Before she could think carefully, there was a knock on the door.

Shen Yubai and Shen Sinian came here specifically to carry things.

The four of them left the rental house and went home together.

The shop will not officially open until tomorrow, and everyone has finished school, so You Shuzhen wants to go home and cook. Shen Yubai and Shen Sinian, two coolies, are eating downstairs without any surprise.

You Shuzhen really likes cooking and likes seeing people eat what she cooks.

She will feel a sense of accomplishment.

After dinner, Xu Chuning and Shen Yubai sorted out the information from junior high school and asked You Ying to look at it first. They would sort it out later.

The next day was Thursday.

Thursday is here and the weekend is almost here.

As soon as she walked to her seat, Deng Xitong mysteriously took out an apple from her desk and handed it to her, "This is for you."

Xu Chu Ning was surprised, "Why did you suddenly give me an apple?"

Deng Xitong was at a loss, "Don't you know today is Christmas Eve?"

"Ah?" Xu Chu Ning was stunned, "I know."

But she hadn't before.

No one had ever given her apples before.

"I can tell you're not very experienced." Deng Xitong said with a smile, "So I won't bother with you about not having apples prepared."

Xu Chu Ning chuckled: "Then I'll treat you to milk tea tomorrow night?"

Deng Xitong: “No problem.”

Deng Xitong also prepared an apple for Shen Sinian.

Shen Sinian was as confused as Xu Chuning.

After being reminded by Deng Xitong, he suddenly realized.

Many classmates in the class gave apples to each other. Xu Chuning received apples from Deng Xitong as well as several other classmates. She didn't prepare any gifts in return, so she invited them to have breakfast at the restaurant tomorrow. They could eat as much as they wanted, and she would treat them.

On the way home in the evening, Shen Yubai looked at the apples she was carrying and raised his eyes slightly, "Why are there so many apples?"

Shen Sinian: "You don't understand this."

Shen Yubai glanced sideways.

Shen Sinian: "Today is Christmas Eve, didn't you prepare apples for Ningning and me?"

Shen Yubai: "..."

He only remembered Christmas and really forgot Christmas Eve.

After thinking for three seconds, he looked at Xu Chu Ning's apples and picked them up to help carry them. "Deng Xitong gave them to me. What else?"

Shen Sinian answered him on behalf of Xu Chuning, "It was also given by other classmates in the class. Oh, and a male classmate."

Shen Yubai: "..."

Xu Chuning: “…”

The two looked at each other, Shen Yubai nodded thoughtfully and said, "That's it."

Then there was silence.

Xu Chuning went back to the shop to help, while Shen Yubai and Shen Sinian went home.

When Xu Chu Ning returned home after finishing work in the shop, someone upstairs sent a message: [Come out for a moment? ]

Xu Chu Ning opened the door in confusion, "Come to me so late——"

Before she could finish her words, Shen Yubai produced an apple from nowhere and stuffed it into her hand, "Xu Chu Ning, Merry Christmas Eve."
