Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space Chapter 1296: Looks Like Uncle Shanzi Took Good Care of You
Previously on Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space...
Xinyan greeted He Jinxuan and Granny Zhang, then grabbed the items prepared for Shen Guqing and ran to the Su Family’s courtyard next door.
Shen Guqing had long heard the commotion outside the courtyard: "Yanyan, you’re finally here."
Xinyan approached with a smile and asked, "With Uncle Shanzi accompanying you, could there really be time for you to miss me, sister?"
Shen Guqing reached out wanting to tickle her: "You naughty girl, always teasing me."
Xinyan dodged her hand and smiled, "Which room are you staying in?"
Only then did Shen Guqing point to the one near the Zhang Family: "I’m staying in that one."
Xinyan turned her head and smiled at Shen Guqing, "Is this Grandma Su’s idea or Uncle Shanzi’s idea?"
Shen Guqing blushed directly: "You guess."
The two gigglingly entered the room, which was kept quite clean. Seeing the items on the bed, it was easy to tell that Uncle Shanzi had put his heart into it: "So, bride-to-be, how are you feeling now?"
Even though this was Shen Guqing’s second marriage, the feelings were completely different. Meng Yifei listened to his mother about everything, and whenever she objected, he would definitively side with her against any suggestion Shen made.
But this time, she truly felt cherished, not only by Zhang Yueshan but also by her mother-in-law, who prepared everything according to her preferences, making her feel both warm and secure.
Xinyan saw her sister blush: "It seems Uncle Shanzi is taking good care of you."
Just as the two were chatting, they heard someone shout from outside: "Shanzi, there’s a phone call for you. They said to call back in ten minutes."
Upon hearing this, Xinyan stood up straight away: "Sister, I bet it’s our master and mistress."
Shen Guqing looked at Xinyan: "How do you know?"
Xinyan laughed, "I called our master when I left Beijing. He said if the weather was bad, he wouldn’t let them drive over. Safety first."
Thinking about the icy and snowy conditions outside, Shen Guqing felt warm and moved, remembering how, when the Shen Family had forsaken her, the master and mistress had promised to be her maiden family.
Initially, she had advised against their visit, citing the upcoming New Year and the cold, snowy, and inconvenient conditions in Ji Province, hoping they wouldn’t exert themselves by coming.
Yet, the master refused to heed her and insisted on visiting to see the place.
She knew his thoughts all too well—it was undoubtedly to provide support for her.
True to Xinyan’s words, the call was indeed from their master, saying their car had run out of gas near a cement factory not far from Malan Town.
Zhang Yueshan rushed back, settled the Ye Family, and then had He Jinxuan accompany him to pick them up.
Fortunately, the car was fine—just that someone had previously used it without refilling the tank.
Once they picked up the group, Zhang Yueshan handed the borrowed fuel to the driver: "Brother, thank you for going on this trip."
The driver sheepishly said, "It’s all my fault for leaving hastily without checking. Otherwise, the old folks wouldn’t have suffered."
Zhang Yueshan laughed and said, "Don’t say that. Everyone makes mistakes now and then."
Meanwhile, He Jinxuan had already greeted the people in the car, helping the master and mistress to get down, along with their senior and second senior brothers: "Let’s transfer these things to my car, so the driver can return sooner."
Mr. Du and the others naturally didn’t object, as Zhang Yueshan had initially planned to pick them up. Nevertheless, the second senior brother had mentioned knowing someone in the county and had arranged for a car to send them instead.
Unexpectedly, the car had this mishap: "Okay, let’s put the stuff into Jinxuan’s car. It’s not far now, and we can squeeze in a bit."
After the driver refueled the car, Zhang Yueshan handed over a pack of cigarettes as thanks, then let the driver head back.
He motioned for the mistress to sit in the front, and the four of them squeezed into the back, closing the door, and said to He Jinxuan in the driver’s seat, "Alright, let’s go home."
When the car returned to the Zhang Family’s gate, Shen Guqing had already been waiting with Xinyan at the Su Family’s gate. Seeing the master and mistress get out of the car, she excitedly waved and said, "Master, Mistress, Senior Brothers, over here, over here."
