After traveling through the book, I realized my wish in my previous life

Shen Nannan was caught off guard and was called out. He covered his head and looked at his mother with a wronged look on his face, "Mom, please don't blame me. It was my sister who said she couldn't eat and asked me to help her eat some!"

Seeing the look from Shen's mother, Shen Xiaoxia nodded immediately, with a helpless look in her eyes, "Mom, it's like this, your bowl is too much, I can't finish it, and I'm afraid it will be wasted later!"

Mother Shen then let Shen Nannan go and turned to look at Shen Xiaoxia. Her eyes returned to their previous gentleness and she said, "It's okay. You eat first. When you can't eat anymore later, you can give it to him!"

"Uh...!" Shen Xiaoxia was a little uncomfortable with letting others eat her leftovers, so she said in a coquettish tone, "Mom, I really can't eat it. I won't lie to you, I'll share some with Nannan!"

Seeing that Shen Xiaoxia didn't seem to be lying, Shen's mother agreed, "Okay!"

Without waiting for Shen Xiaoxia to make a move, she took Shen Xiaoxia's bowl and chopsticks, and with skillful and neat movements, she picked up a few chopsticks of noodles and put them into the bowl that Shen Nannan had just taken. After selecting them, she placed them in front of Shen Nannan and said in a stiff tone, "Eat!"

Looking at the noodles in the bowl, Shen Nannan was a little speechless. The corner of her mouth twitched, her eyes widened, and she couldn't help but protest, "Mom, can you at least give me some vegetables? Or, can you at least give me some soup?"

Shen Xiaoxia was a little amused for a moment. She saw it clearly and didn't know how Shen's mother picked up the meat. There were so many shreds of meat, but the few times she picked up the meat with her chopsticks, there was not a single shred of meat mixed in. Her skills were really amazing!

Hearing Shen Nannan's words, Shen's mother pretended to take the bowl away, raised her eyebrows, and said angrily, "If you don't want to eat it, forget it!"

Shen Nannan immediately protected the bowl, "I'll eat, I'll eat!"

No matter what, it’s definitely better than plain porridge and vegetables!

At the dinner table, everyone's eyes were focused on Shen Xiaoxia, their expressions full of concern and curiosity. They asked her one after another about what had happened after she went to the countryside in the past two years.

On weekdays, every time she wrote back, she only reported good news and not bad news, and her words were full of optimism and strength.

In the past two years, I have never heard her complain about anything. She always downplayed the difficulties she encountered and never asked for anything. Every time she wrote to me, she said that she was doing well and asked her family not to worry!

Every time, the family just thought that Shen Xiaoxia was comforting them and didn’t really believe it!

Shen's mother sat next to Shen Xiaoxia, staring at her daughter who was eating noodles seriously without blinking. For a moment, she felt sad and had the urge to cry.

She quickly lowered her eyes, desperately trying to hold back her anger. She took a deep breath before asking, "Xia Xia, tell me, how are you doing in the countryside? You haven't suffered any injustice, have you?"

After swallowing the food in her mouth, Shen Xiaoxia raised her head and slowly swept her gaze across the four pairs of eyes that were staring at her. Father Shen's eyes were filled with heartache and concern, her eldest brother's eyes were full of brotherly love, her youngest brother's eyes were filled with curiosity and sadness, and Mother Shen's eyes were red, probably because she was trying hard to suppress her emotions.

With the corners of her mouth raised, Shen Xiaoxia revealed a comforting smile and said softly, "Mom, I'm really doing well. I've made a lot of friends in the countryside and learned a lot of new skills. Don't worry about me!"

Mother Shen was still worried, her brows furrowed slightly, and she asked again, "What about the farm work? Is it intense? Is it tiring?"

Scenes of working in the countryside emerged in Shen Xiaoxia's mind, and she organized her words, "The intensity was higher during spring planting and autumn harvest. I had to get up before dawn every day and was so busy that I had no time to rest!

Although I have to go to work every day, it gets better. At the beginning, I was a little uncomfortable and got a lot of blisters on my hands. They healed and healed, and then I got a lot of calluses. It took time for them to heal, and then I got used to it, and now I feel it’s okay! ”

Shen Xiaoxia said it lightly, but everyone could imagine that life must have been hard. The environment in the countryside was harsh, with wind and sun all day long!

Although these people also have to go to work, they spend most of their time indoors. Except for the short time on the road, at least they are protected from the wind and rain!

After hearing this, Father Shen felt his throat was very dry. He opened his mouth and stammered for a long time before speaking, "Xia Xia, you have suffered...!"

Shen Weidong tightened the chopsticks in his hand, feeling a little speechless for a moment, and felt that whatever he said would be inappropriate!

Shen Nannan sat on the other side of Shen Xiaoxia. Hearing this, she pulled Shen Xiaoxia's hand over, touched the calluses on her hand, looked at her own hand, bit her lip, and muttered softly, "Does it hurt when the blisters appear?"

He remembered that one time he was scalded by boiling water and a blister appeared on his hand. He was in pain for a long time!

Shen Xiaoxia looked at him, smiled, and said nothing!

Mother Shen pulled Shen Xiaoxia's other hand over and touched the calluses on it. The tears she had been holding back finally fell, "Xia Xia...!"

The atmosphere at the dinner table was a bit depressing for a moment. Shen Xiaoxia didn't want to be too upset, so she helped Shen's mother wipe the tears from her face and said, "Mom, don't be too sad. Actually, going to the countryside is not that bad. At least it's quite free, and..."

She looked at everyone with a sly look on her face. "I'm not that sincere in working hard. I'll slack off whenever I can. The team leader knows that we educated youth don't rely entirely on work points to make a living. Our families will give us some subsidies, so he turns a blind eye to us. As long as we can reach the minimum work point standard every day and behave ourselves and don't cause trouble, that's all that's needed!"

After hearing what Shen Xiaoxia said, Shen's mother clapped her hands in agreement and said, "Xia Xia, you're right. Your health is the most important thing. Life in the countryside is hard enough. It wouldn't be worth it if you ruined your health. Don't worry, we'll send you more money in the future. Don't put too much hardship on yourself!"

Shen Xiaoxia's eyes were also red. She held her mother's hand and looked at her with a touching face. "Thank you, Mom. I was just afraid that you would leave me alone...!"

Mother Shen choked up and said, "No, Xia Xia, you are also a piece of flesh that fell from my body. How could I ignore you? If it weren't for the quota that every family must go to the countryside, I would not be willing to let you go..."

Shen's father and Shen Weidong also felt a little uncomfortable. Shen Nannan sniffed, moved closer to Shen Xiaoxia, and said seriously, "Third sister, I will not spend the pocket money I secretly saved in the future. I will keep it all for Mom to send to you!"

Shen Weidong also said, "How about this, from now on, I'll take out five yuan from my salary every month and send it to Xia Xia. It's my token of appreciation as a brother!"

Mr. and Mrs. Shen did not object, and even nodded in agreement. Shen Xiaoxia would not object either. Although she did not need this money, why not take it for free?

"Thank you bro!"

Shen Xiaoxia thanked Shen Weidong with tears in her eyes!
