Shen Shi smiled and introduced his daughter-in-law, Song Jiajia, to his father.

After saying that, he joked with Song Jiajia, "Hurry up and call someone to trick our dad into giving us a big red envelope."

"You little rascal." Father Shen pointed at him, then took a red envelope from his pocket and handed it to Song Jiajia. "I didn't prepare anything for our first meeting, so take this and buy yourself something. Don't think it's too little!"

Song Jiajia blushed as she accepted the gift, and then took out the gift for Shen's father, a scarf.

After receiving it, Mr. Song put it around his neck without saying a word.

If you only look at this behavior, it's easy to mistakenly think that Shen's father is a straightforward person.

But only Shen Shi knew that his father was actually very petty and a complete hypocrite.

In modern terms, it's called histrionic personality disorder.

Shen's mother was a simple-minded and awkward person who was always subtly led by Shen's father. Some of her behaviors were influenced by Song's father, but she herself was unaware of it.

Take today's events as an example. Although his mother was unwilling, she still took the day off to cook at home, but Song's father certainly never thought of waiting for them to come back.

Song's father always portrays himself as a kind-hearted person, but in reality, he is the most indifferent.

Shen Shi was discovered when he was in junior high school. He had hinted at it to his mother a few times, but she always thought he was acting crazy.

After that, I stopped paying attention to it. Sometimes, if I watched it like a play, I found it quite interesting.

But sometimes I still find Shen's father's behavior puzzling. There aren't many people in his family. If he wanted to indulge in his passion for opera, he should have gone to the theater!

However, judging from his old face, it's possible that his appearance is a limiting factor, and that's why they didn't want him.

But since he wanted to act, Shen Shi was naturally willing to cooperate, as long as it saved Jiajia's face.

It's better to live life in a daze; being too clear-headed only leads to suffering.

The family of eight sat down for a meal. The dishes were quite good, including chicken and fish, and the table was full.

The Shen family has a rule of not talking while eating, but with children around, there's bound to be some liveliness, and the meal went quite smoothly.

"Mom and Dad, I'm a little tired again. Let's take Jiajia to rest first." After two days of traveling back and forth, we really can't take it anymore.

After finishing the meal, Shen gave some instructions and then took Song Jiajia back to her room.

The Shen family's courtyard faces south, and the three brothers each have their own room, with Shen Shi's room being the westernmost one.

The house wasn't big, but it was small yet complete, with all the necessary furniture and other necessities.

Shen Shi led Song Jiajia to sit on the bed, putting his arm around her shoulder. "Jiajia, I'm sorry I made you suffer because of me."

After saying that, he nuzzled Song Jiajia's forehead with his head in a conciliatory manner, his handsome face full of guilt.

“I don’t feel wronged or depressed. All I want is for you to stand by me.” Song Jiajia reached out and cupped his face, gently kissing his forehead.

"She's such a wonderful baby." Shen Shi became excited and hugged Song Jiajia, kissing her endlessly.

When Song Jiajia woke up the next morning, Shen Shi had already washed up. "Get up quickly, I'll take you out for a walk." He then tidied Song Jiajia's messy hair.

Song Jiajia was still a bit grumpy when she woke up. She snorted and ignored everyone before going to wash up by herself.

It's all that bastard Shen Shi's fault, he made me suffer from back pain.

Everyone who was supposed to be at work had already gone to work. Since Chen Shi's sister-in-law was a primary school teacher, his nephew went to the school to listen to a class.

With only the two of them at home and nothing to do, Shen Shi took Song Jiajia to a breakfast shop he used to frequent.

While holding his wife's hand, Chen Shi recommended the buns, saying, "The buns here are especially delicious; you must try them."

"Don't you think the steamed buns from somewhere are delicious?" Song Jiajia teased. It seems that the most recommended food is steamed buns, which shows that Shen Shi truly loves them.

“That’s true.” Shen Shi scratched his head and called out to the shopkeeper, “Six pork buns and two bowls of sweet soy milk, please.”

The two found a place to sit down. Opposite them was Chen Shi's old high school, but the people coming and going were all unfamiliar faces.

"Boss, give me two fried dough sticks, two steamed buns, and a bowl of savory tofu pudding." After saying this, the man sat down opposite Chen Shi.

Shen Shi asked in surprise, "Teacher Zhang, what are you doing here?"

Mr. Zhang was Shen Shi's physics teacher in the senior year of high school. I remember him as being very fastidious and never eating out. We weren't close.

The teacher's daughter liked Guochen Shi, but he rejected her. Teacher Zhang was a complete doting father to his daughter, and he even targeted Guochen Shi for a period of time because of this.

"Why can you come, but I can't?" Teacher Zhang joked.

The matter was over, and besides, one shouldn't hit a smiling face, so Shen Shi didn't intend to hold it against him.

"It's been so long since I've seen you, I'm so surprised." Shen Shi smiled and then introduced Song Jiajia, "Jiajia, this is Mr. Zhang, my high school physics teacher."

Song Jiajia nodded. "Hello, Teacher Zhang. My name is Song Jiajia, and I am Shen Shi's wife." She introduced herself.

"Hello, hello! When did you get married? I didn't know that." Teacher Zhang asked in confusion.

"You're so busy teaching and educating people, we got married in the countryside and didn't invite anyone from here," Shen Shi explained.

"Oh, I see. You two are quite a good match." But there was still an undisguised disappointment in Teacher Zhang's tone.

Sensing something was wrong, Shen didn't reply and continued eating his breakfast.

After a moment's hesitation, Teacher Zhang on the other end of the line said, "I have a school recruitment opportunity here. Shen Shi, your grades have always been good, why don't you give it a try?"

"Can I participate even if my household registration is not in this area?" Shen Shi's household registration had already been transferred to the countryside after he went to work there.
