Back to my parents when I was seventeen

After chatting with You Lingshan for a while and agreeing on a time, You Shuzhen came out of the bathroom and said, "Ningning, go take a shower."

Xu Chu Ning agreed: "Right away."

She said something to You Lingshan and put down her phone.

When Xu Chuning came out of the shower, You Shuzhen was already lying on the bed resting.

The house that the mother and daughter rented was not big, it was a one-bedroom and one-living room, but the room was separated and contained two single beds and a very small desk, making it convenient for Xu Chuning to do her homework.

You Shuzhen slept on the bed near the door, and Xu Chuning slept on the bed next to the window.

She moved quietly and turned on the small desk lamp, trying not to disturb You Shuzhen's sleep.

"Have you finished washing?" Hearing the noise, You Shuzhen woke up in a daze.

Xu Chu Ning hummed, "Mom, I still have some homework to finish, you go to bed first."

You Shuzhen had been busy all day and was indeed sleepy. She yawned and said softly, "Don't write too late."

Xu Chu Ning: "I know."

After You Shuzhen fell asleep, Xu Chuning read a book for a while, went out to the bathroom, and then prepared to go to bed.

When passing by You Shuzhen's bed, she noticed that You Shuzhen had kicked off most of the quilt. Xu Chuning sighed slightly, walked over carefully, and helped her cover the quilt.

Suddenly, You Shuzhen turned over, and a photo on her chest fell down.

Xu Chuning bent down to pick it up, and with the light of a small desk lamp, he saw the person in the photo. The photo was in black and white, and the lens was blurry, so the picture was not clear. But Xu Chuning knew who the person in the photo was.

That was You Shuzhen’s daughter who had been lost since childhood, and her younger sister.

After staring at the photo for a long time, Xu Chu Ning gently placed the photo next to her pillow, then covered her with a quilt and went back to his own bed to sleep.

In fact, Xu Chu Ning felt a little sleepy after the whole day, but when she closed her eyes, she couldn't fall asleep.

With too many things in his mind, Xu Chuning tossed and turned in bed.

Suddenly, she thought of Shen Sinian.

Yes, Xu Chuning opened her eyes, looked at the dim moonlight outside the window and thought, how could she forget Shen Sinian? He came from the future, so he might know where to find You Shuzhen's daughter.

Thinking of this, Xu Chu Ning wished he could go to the next morning immediately.

Xu Chu Ning had too many things on her mind the night before, so she didn't sleep well at all. When she woke up the next morning, she felt dizzy.

Seeing her like this, You Shuzhen asked her to sleep for a while at home and did not allow her to accompany her to the market to buy vegetables and ingredients, but Xu Chuning refused.

"Mom, more people, hurry up."

You Shuzhen couldn't persuade Xu Chuning on many things, so she could only go along with her.

The two of them went to the vegetable market first and bought the freshest pork and vegetables before returning to the store to prepare breakfast. You Shuzhen had fermented the flour the night before, and the meat sauce was chopped freshly, so it would taste much better.

There won’t be too many customers in the store, so they don’t need to prepare too much, so the workload will be relatively easier.

After finishing the steamed buns and steamed bread, Xu Chuning went to wash the beans and prepare to make soy milk, while You Shuzhen was preparing to fry dough sticks.

After five o'clock, customers began to come to buy breakfast one after another.

In the morning, people usually eat steamed buns and steamed bread, and few people eat rice noodles.

After a busy period, at 7:30, You Lingshan and her classmates came over for breakfast. She came from a well-off family and had no worries about pocket money, so she ordered two bowls of rice noodles.

You Shuzhen cooked for the two of them, while Xu Chuning stood at the door selling buns.

After eating a bowl of rice noodles, You Lingshan took the homework book that Xu Chuning had helped her write and said, "Thank you."

You Lingshan looked at her, "Didn't you sleep well last night?"

Xu Chu Ning: "I can't sleep."

You Lingshan exclaimed, "Isn't it because we have too much homework?"

"No," Xu Chu Ning laughed and explained, "I finished your homework at ten o'clock."

Hearing this, You Lingshan breathed a sigh of relief, "It's OK if it's not."

She thought for a moment, took out a bottle of milk from her schoolbag and handed it to her, "My mom forced it on me, I don't want to drink it, can you help me solve it?"

Xu Chu Ning raised his eyes to look at her, knowing what she meant, "Okay, thank you, Senior."

You Lingshan shook the homework book in her hand and said briskly, "I should thank you."

She lowered her voice and said, "Your mother is watching from behind. I'll give you the money on Friday."

Xu Chuning agreed.

Just as You Lingshan and her classmates left, Shen Yubai and Shen Sinian came over.

"Mom... Ningning..." Shen Sinian blurted out, and then changed his words in time, "Good morning."

Xu Chu Ning was amused by his flushed face and smiled, "Good morning."

Shen Yubai glanced at the two of them indifferently and said calmly, "I want one serving of rice noodles."

Shen Sinian: "I want one too."

Xu Chuning said something to You Shuzhen, who looked at the two people who appeared together, a little surprised, "Xiao Shen, Si Nian, you came together?"

The last time Shen Yubai came to see Shen Sinian, You Shuzhen wanted to ask what their relationship was, but she forgot it as soon as she turned her head. Seeing him now, she couldn't help but be curious, "Did you know each other before?"

If the two of them had known each other before, she would have felt more at ease with Shen Sinian.

You Shuzhen believed that Xu Chuning was a sensible child, but Shen Sinian's behavior was also strange. Occasionally, she would still worry about Xu Chuning's friendships.

Hearing You Shuzhen's question, Shen Yubai was stunned for a moment and gave Xu Chuning an inquiring look - You didn't tell your mother about Shen Sinian's identity?

Xu Chuning looked back at him——What should I say?

Shen Yubai choked up a little, and looked at You Shuzhen with a slight smile, "Aunt You, he is my brother."

You Shuzhen was stunned, "Brother?"

She was surprised, "Xiao Shen, aren't you an only child?"

You Shuzhen had chatted with Shen Yubai before and asked about Xu Chuning. She knew that he was a classmate in their international class and that he was the child of the Shen family, one of the richest families in Jiangcheng. He was an only child and had no brothers or sisters.

Shen Yubai hummed, thought for a moment and said, "He is my uncle's son, whom I just found."

"What?" Hearing the words "found back", You Shuzhen looked at the two in shock, with a flash of surprise and hope in her eyes, "Si Nian..."

She stared at Shen Sinian with wide eyes, her voice trembling, "Have you been trafficked?"
