Chapter 2 The Chosen One?

Chapter 2 The Chosen One?

Shen Shuyu didn't feel too much about entering the world of the book.

Looking at it from another angle, she has won the jackpot. Why did she get to travel through the book while others didn't? Is it possible that she is the legendary chosen one?

Thinking of this, she was full of expectations for life in this era.

Old Lady Shen was cooking chicken soup in the kitchen. The aroma of the soup drifted into the house with the wind. Shen Shuyu, who didn't feel hungry at first, started to growl in the stomach. She was about to go to the kitchen to check when Old Lady Shen came in with a bowl of chicken soup, smiling.

"My dear, the chicken soup is ready. It smells really good, but it's very hot. You should wait a while before drinking it."

When the fragrant chicken soup was brought to her, Shen Shuyu felt even hungrier. "Grandma, your chicken soup is so delicious."

Seeing that Guaibao was happy, Old Lady Shen was also happy, "Xiang, you can eat more later, it's a big pot."

Her darling was injured, and his little face was so pale that he needed to be healed.

There was a big bowl of chicken soup and two big chicken legs, which showed that Grandma Shen loved her granddaughter very much.

"Grandma, you have some chicken soup too. We'll each have a chicken leg."

Shen Shuyu knew that Old Lady Shen definitely had nothing to eat. Any good things at home were always given to her granddaughter.

Old Lady Shen smiled and shook her head, "Grandma knows that my dear is filial. Grandma has had lunch. I'm not hungry now, so just eat it, dear."

No matter what Shen Shuyu said, Old Lady Shen didn't drink a single sip of the soup. She kept waving her hands, saying that she didn't want to drink it and that she was full and couldn't eat any more.

Shen Shuyu knew that the old lady didn't dislike drinking, but she was reluctant to drink it.

As for what the old lady said about eating full, Shen Shuyu didn't believe it at all. The old lady only ate half full at most.

The lack of food and clothing these days is not just talk. Although people in the countryside can work in the fields to earn work points, some families with a large labor force can earn a lot of work points in a year, but the more they earn, the more they eat. As the saying goes, if a young boy eats his father out of money, I am not kidding.

Shen Shuyu ate a big chicken leg, drank a big bowl of chicken soup, and then said he didn't want to eat anymore.

"Grandma, I'm full. You can have this chicken leg."

Seeing her eldest granddaughter eating with a satisfied look on her face, Old Lady Shen was happier than she was after eating herself. "It's OK as long as you're full. Grandma doesn't like chicken legs, so save this for you to eat at night."

Old Lady Shen went out with the bowl, and soon came back with two white flour cakes, "My dear, these are the cakes that grandma made for you. Eat them if you are hungry in the afternoon. Grandma will go to work and come back to make you something delicious."

If you work half a day less, you will earn half a day less work points. Seeing that her eldest granddaughter had nothing to do, Grandma Shen went to work.

Shen Shuyu was the only one left at home. With nothing to do, Shen Shuyu couldn't stay in the house, so he went out. The house where the old Shen family lived was unique in Shenjiabao Brigade, with five large blue brick and tile houses.

Anyone in the village who sees this house can't help but envy it.

Speaking of the money for building the house, it was sent back by the original owner's parents. Both of them were soldiers, and they received a lot of military allowance every month, so they had saved some money. The couple were filial and wanted their family to live better, so they sent money for building the house. The bricks and tiles were also obtained by the original owner's parents through their connections.

Otherwise, with the whole Shen family busy working in the fields, they would not be able to build this large brick and tile house.

There was a persimmon tree planted in the yard. Shen Shuyu moved a recliner from the main room and lay comfortably under the persimmon tree, enjoying the cool breeze.

Everyone is busy working in the fields at this time, and only Shen Shuyu can lie comfortably at home. There is nothing she can do about it, because Old Man and Old Lady Shen dote on their eldest granddaughter.

It was probably so comfortable to lie on the recliner and enjoy the cool breeze that I slept for the entire afternoon.

When she woke up, the Shen family had already returned from work. Everyone was busy with their own things and no one disturbed her.

"Shu Yu is awake! Does your forehead still hurt?" Old man Shen was smoking his pipe in the corner of the yard. When he saw his eldest granddaughter wake up, he asked with a smile.

"Master, you are back. I am fine. Don't worry."

Mr. Shen, who is in his seventies, has half white hair, and his hair wrinkles when he smiles. He looks energetic.

Old Lady Shen came back from outside with a basket in her hand, "My dear, you've woken up. I just went to buy you a basket of eggs. I'll give you some egg custard tomorrow morning."

"Grandma, you are so kind. I am so happy."

"I am truly blessed to have a good grandson like you."

The grandfather and grandson were having a good time in the yard. Li Caixia, the second aunt, who was busy preparing dinner in the kitchen, heard the conversation between her mother-in-law and her niece. She felt so sad and complained to her sister-in-law.

"Sister-in-law, look at how biased our parents are. A little girl just got a boner on her forehead, and they're giving her chicken soup and eggs. How can we live like this?"

Li Caixia really couldn't understand why her parents-in-law ignored their older grandchildren and treated this little girl like the apple of their eye. All the delicious food and drinks at home were given to that little girl. And her mother-in-law was the head of the family, so she had no way to reason with her.

Aunt Zhang Cuicui glanced outside and said, "Why are you telling me this? It's their business who their parents want to love. Shu Yu's parents have been gone since she was a child, so it's only natural that her parents love her more."

Zhang Cuicui didn't want to say anything. This second brother's sister-in-law was always eating without thinking. She knew that her parents-in-law were very protective of Shu Yu, but she still often said bad things about that girl. If her parents-in-law found out, they would scold her again. Why bother?

Li Caixia turned around and rolled her eyes at an angle where her sister-in-law couldn't see. She was the only one, Zhang Cuicui, who was a good person and knew how to talk. She had been married into the Shen family for so many years and everyone knew who was who. She was the only one who knew how to pretend!

Zhang Cuicui ignored her and turned to talk to her third sister-in-law, "Mom made chicken soup for that little girl at noon. It was a whole old hen. I don't know if we can get two pieces of meat later."

She just looked and saw that there was still a lot of chicken in the pot. Even if her mother-in-law was partial to that girl, she couldn't just not give them any meat. If that didn't work, it would be good to have some soup.

Just the smell of chicken made her hungry stomach ache, but there had been no smell of meat in the house for more than a month.

"Should... we be able to get some!" Liu Pandi also wanted to eat meat, but she didn't know whether her mother-in-law would give it to them.

"time to eat!"

Zhang Cuicui brought out the dishes from the kitchen and shouted.

After a busy day, everyone was tired and hungry. When it was time for dinner, the whole family sat down at the table and waited for Grandma Shen to distribute the food.

After receiving the complete memory of the original owner, Shen Shuyu was able to identify with the whole family. Old Man Shen and Old Lady Shen had four sons and two daughters, all of whom were married and had children.

The eldest son, Shen Xiangdong, has a wife, Zhang Cuicui, and they have two sons. The eldest son, Shen Jiabao, is 23 years old this year, and the second son, Shen Jiawei, is 22 years old this year.

The second son, Shen Xiangnan, and his wife, Li Caixia, have a son and a daughter. The eldest son, Shen Jiaguo, is 22 years old this year, and the youngest daughter, Shen Qiu, is 14 years old.

The third child is Shen Xiangxi, his wife is Liu Pandi, and they have a daughter, Shen Xue, who is sixteen years old this year.

The fourth child is Shen Xiangbei, his wife is Yang Fengjiao, and his daughter Shen Shuyu is the original owner, who is seventeen years old this year.

The eldest daughter, Shen Chunhua, married a city man and gave birth to two sons and a daughter.

The younger girl, Shen Chunling, married into the next village and gave birth to three daughters and one son.
