Middle-aged love

Chapter 21
Mrs. Zhang saw them coming down together, especially seeing the smile on the husband's face, thinking that the two of them had reconciled, she was very happy
"Mister and wife, wait a moment, breakfast is ready, I will serve it right away",
It is still Guo Junhuai's favorite Chinese breakfast, millet porridge, meat buns, boiled eggs, and a side dish.

Shen Juan lowered his head to drink the porridge, wishing he could get his face into the bowl,

"Don't just drink porridge, but also eat an egg. By the way, rolling a boiled egg on the eyes can quickly eliminate eye swelling"

"Ah, really?" Shen Juan quickly raised his head and asked suspiciously,

"Of course it's true," Guo Junhuai said firmly. Shen Juan believed in his words, and immediately took an egg and rolled it back and forth on his eyes. The egg was hot, and it was indeed very comfortable.

"Really, it's quite comfortable," Shen Juan said pleasantly.

Seeing her sitting there, Guo Junhuai just squinted his eyes to 'roll the eggs' and didn't eat any food.
"Let's eat first, and I'll ask Auntie Zhang to cook you a hot egg later, it will work better."

Shen Juan nodded without hesitation, put down the eggs and began to drink the porridge again absent-mindedly.

Time was tight in the morning, Guo Junhuai looked at his watch and felt that it was not the time to talk, so he didn't say anything else, thinking he'd better come back at night to talk.

Seeing Guo Junhuai getting up, Shen Juan hurriedly put down his chopsticks and stood up, asking in a low voice,

"Are you going to work?"

Guo Junhuai hummed, then walked towards the door.Shen Juan hurriedly trotted over, took out his leather shoes very attentively, waited for him to change, then arranged his slippers neatly, then went to the sofa to get his briefcase, handed it to him with both hands, and went to open it again door, help him press the elevator.With yesterday's experience, what she did today can be said to be smooth.

While waiting for the elevator, she looked at him flatteringly, and tentatively said,

"Have you considered that?"

"Not yet", Guo Junhuai paused for a few seconds before saying softly,
"Oh, then think about it quickly, I'm afraid it will affect you if we delay like this"

"Well, let's have a good chat sometime,"
"Okay, I'm free anytime," Shen Juan said eagerly. She wished she could go through the formalities now, so she could feel at ease. Now she is like wearing a dynamite bag that could explode at any time. , always frightened.

After Guo Junhuai left, Shen Juan was not in the mood to eat anymore, so he hurried back to the bedroom.

Holding the mobile phone, after thinking for a long time, I sent a message to my brother: brother, are you going to work today, I want to go to work to find you later.

At this time, Shen Chao was still on the road. He was stunned for a while when he saw Shen Juan's text message. He couldn't figure out what this sister would do to him. If you want to come, then meet and ask.

"At work, come over here", Shen Chao replied the message.

After getting his brother's reply, Shen Juan immediately changed his clothes and went out.

At around [-]:[-], Shen Juan arrived at the gate of the Provincial Party Committee.

Shen Chao works in the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee. It is very troublesome to enter such a unit, and he may not be able to enter even if he needs to ask and register many times.Shen Juan thought it was troublesome, so when he got to the gate, he called to say that he had arrived.Shen Chao immediately sent his secretary Xiao Liu to pick her up.

Shen Chao was surprised when he received a call from his sister early in the morning. He sat alone in the office and thought for a long time, but he still couldn't figure out what it would be like for his sister to find him. .For so many years, they have hardly had any contact with each other. They had a polite meal together during the Chinese New Year, during which she seldom spoke. At most, she talked with her sister-in-law about the children's cram school.

Shen Chao has complicated feelings for this younger sister. When she entered the city, he was already a senior and would graduate soon.Because they wanted to pick her up, her parents quarreled countless times.

That day he received a call from his father asking him to go home, saying that his sister had returned.

As soon as I entered the door, I found that the atmosphere was not right. My mother sat on one side with a dark face, and my father sat silently on the other side, smoking a cigarette.Beside her father, there was a little girl sitting cautiously. Her legs were close together, her hands were on her knees, her head was always lowered, and she was a small ball. It could be seen that she was not tall, thin, and dressed in rustic clothes.

Seeing his father visibly relieved,
"Shen Chao, this is your sister, named Shen Juan"

He groaned, and just as he was about to say something, his mother coughed, and he found that her face was becoming more and more ugly, and he didn't dare to show too much enthusiasm. Just as he was about to sit next to his sister, his mother spoke,

"Come and sit here",
Shen Chao had no choice but to turn around and sit beside his mother.

"I'm in senior year, and my studies are heavy, so why run around for nothing!", the mother said seriously, he didn't speak, and looked up at his father, and found that his father's face was extremely gloomy, and his sharp eyes were staring at his mother, but he didn't say anything. explain.

He glanced at the younger sister who was curled up beside her father. She still bowed her head and said nothing. He could see that she was very nervous because her body was shaking slightly.

,,,,

After that, they didn't meet many times, but every time she acted like a bored gourd and didn't say a word.

He knew his mother's attitude towards her, and he also knew that she was afraid of her mother, but he knew that her mother was also in great pain. She didn't want to get a divorce and she couldn't get a divorce. She was so aggrieved and had nothing to vent, so she didn't have a good look at this 'culprit'.

Later, he was about to graduate from university. At that time, his father was busy outside every day, mainly to run off his business.

After work, he also got busy, and it was rare for him to go home for a meal. At that time, she also went to bank school, and sometimes she didn't come back on weekends, so the chances of their siblings meeting were even less.
