Chapter 552 The New Son-in-Law Returns Home

Zhou Qingyang and his brother hadn't seen Sheng Xiping for a long time, so they got together for the New Year and were sure to have a few drinks at noon.

It was a rare opportunity for the whole family to reunite, so Zhou Mingyuan was happy and drank a little with them.

The family enjoyed a lively reunion dinner, and it wasn't until after 4 p.m. that Sheng Xiping led his wife and children home.

On the evening of the second day of the Lunar New Year, Zhang Shuzhen led her daughters-in-law to make dumplings in advance and freeze them outside. On the morning of the third day, they got up to cook the dumplings and set off firecrackers to send off the New Year.

After breakfast, the women got busy preparing food.

Today, the Sheng Yunfang and Sheng Yunfei families are coming back, especially since Jiang Yanbin is the new son-in-law visiting, so we have to make a big show of it.

Zhang Shuzhen said that today's meal must have sixteen dishes.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law discussed the menu last night and brought back the chicken, duck, fish and meat in advance to prepare. They started preparing early this morning.

The leftovers from the New Year's Eve reunion dinner weren't finished yet, so we had to clean them up and freeze them outside.

"There must be a lot of people on this journey, right? The train is delayed."

"Absolutely! The train was packed. It was alright when we boarded in the capital, but when we transferred in Tonghua, it was incredibly crowded."

Wu Yucheng wanted to drive, but his family wouldn't allow it, saying it was unsafe.

"Don't get cocky. It's so chaotic outside these days. You still dare to drive back?" Sheng Xiping glared at Wu Yucheng.

"Look at you, it's Chinese New Year, there are so many people taking the train, that's why it's delayed."

Just as Zhang Shuzhen was about to say something, she heard Sheng Xinyu call out from outside, "They're back, they're back. My fourth aunt and the others are back."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Shuzhen disregarded everything else and rushed out the door. "You're finally back! What's wrong? Was the train delayed?"

Zhang Shuzhen quickly squatted down, hugged her two grandsons with one arm and kissed each of them on the cheek. Then she took out the red envelopes she had prepared beforehand and stuffed one into each of their hands.

"You two are really not being polite, accepting what Grandma gave you."

Meanwhile, the Sheng family was waiting anxiously. "What time is it? Why aren't they back yet? They'd usually be home by now."

At this moment, Jiang Yanbin also stepped forward and greeted his mother-in-law with a smile, "Mom, Happy New Year."

Sheng Xiping reached out and took Wu Hao from Sheng Yunfei's arms, then told his younger brother to get the luggage.

Zhang Shuzhen kept looking at the clock on the wall, anxiously muttering to herself.

During the Spring Festival, the train was delayed; it was almost 1:30 when it finally arrived.

"Thank you, Grandma." These two little ones are sturdy and started talking early; they can already say quite a few words.

"Look at you, you're all grown up now, and you're still acting like a child with your mother." Zhang Shuzhen patted her daughter's hand and laughed.

"With the two of them up there to help, they got the child on first; otherwise, we both would have had a hard time squeezing onto the bus," Wu Yucheng said with a wry smile.

"Quick, give me the child. Third and fourth brothers, go get the things."

As they were talking, two chubby little ones ran over and hugged Zhang Shuzhen's legs on either side, saying, "Grandma, Happy New Year!"

Although the Jiang family treated her very well, being someone else's daughter-in-law was never as comfortable as being a girl at home.

It's normal for Sheng Yunfang to be a little excited when she returns to her parents' home and sees her mother.

"Oh, oh, Happy New Year! Everything is good, everything is good." Zhang Shuzhen looked at her daughter and son-in-law with great joy, her smile so wide it almost disappeared from her eyes.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were busy cooking, while Sheng Xiping and his three brothers drove to pick them up from the station.

Although Wu Peng and Wu Hao are only one year and eight months old, these two kids are very clever. They know that red envelopes are good things, so they hold onto the red envelopes tightly and nod.

The brothers stood outside the station exit, craning their necks to peer inside, and finally spotted a familiar figure in the crowd.

Wu Yucheng and his wife each carried a child, while Jiang Yanbin and his wife followed behind with large bags and bundles. They finally managed to squeeze out of the station with the crowd of people exiting the station.

After everyone leaves, we'll probably have to eat the leftovers for several days.

"Why

"Happy New Year! Happy New Year, my dear grandson! Have you missed your grandma?"

This is the first time in her life that Sheng Yunfang has not spent the Lunar New Year at home.

"Let's go home first, we'll talk when we get there." Sheng Xiping hugged and kissed his little nephew, then invited everyone to get in the car.

"Mom, Happy New Year." Sheng Yunfang came forward and hugged her mother tightly.

Wu Yucheng thought about it and realized that the two children were too young, and driving was not as convenient as taking a sleeper train, so he did not drive back.

"Next time, I won't take the train. I'll drive back. It's much more convenient than taking the train."

Sheng Xiping and Sheng Xitai drove off from the station, heading straight for the Sheng family home.

"Wait a bit, he might be back soon," Sheng Liancheng said.

"Here, this is from Grandma. Take it and don't lose it."

"Big brother, second brother, third brother, Xitai, Happy New Year."

Sheng Xiping and his group had two cars, so they quickly put their luggage in the trunk and everyone carried their children into the cars.

These days, there are plenty of robberies on the road. What were you thinking, a family of four driving out like this?

The train was chaotic, but at least it was better than driving back.

Fortunately, we had contacted my fourth brother-in-law and his family before we set off, so we knew which carriage they were in.

Wu Yucheng and Jiang Yanbin also saw the Sheng brothers waiting outside and hurriedly came forward to greet them.

Then today there are two tables of food, and tomorrow someone might come over to treat us, so we'll have to make new dishes again.

Behind them, Wu Yucheng and Sheng Yunfei walked over side by side. When Wu Yucheng saw the red envelopes in his two sons' hands, he teased them.

"Mom, Happy Chinese New Year."

"Okay, okay, all good. Come on in, the food is all ready, we're just waiting for you to come back for dinner." Zhang Shuzhen greeted the children with a smile and invited them into the house.
