"Okay, wait a minute, I'll be there soon."
Li Xiang agreed and turned around and went out.
Her servant-like behavior reminded Hu Lili of the nanny in a former friend's home.
Li Xiang is the type who does whatever she is told to do and is always cautious at all times.
It would be great if everyone in the Shen family treated her with respect like Li Xiang.
In the following days, as the Chinese New Year was approaching, people were busy preparing food for the New Year's Eve meal, and no one cared about these five educated youth.
Shen Siyue secretly made an appointment with Shitou to go to the mountains again before the Chinese New Year, and naturally gained something this time.
However, the two men planned to keep all the prey this time for the New Year.
Shitou also grinds soybeans to make tofu.
In view of the situation of Shen Siyue and the Shen family, Shitou asked her: “How do you plan to spend New Year’s Eve?”
He hoped that Shen Siyue could come to his house.
Shitou is truly an orphan, and Chen Siyue is almost an orphan. When these two lonely people get together, it feels a bit like the New Year.
The reason why he didn’t say it directly was that he was afraid that Shen Siyue would be embarrassed.
Shen Siyue tilted her head and thought about it, then slowly spoke under Shi Tou’s eager gaze: “How about I live with you?”
Then she saw the corners of Shitou's mouth slowly curl up, and he couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
Shen Siyue was also very happy.
She also didn't want to stay in the Shen family and watch the other members of the Shen family perform family happiness in front of her on that reunion day.
Since they are going to celebrate the New Year together, Shitou plans to make the New Year’s Eve dinner as sumptuous as possible.
Without telling Shen Siyue, he went to the town again and bought some eggs, sesame oil, and some other things.
In the past, when he was alone during the Chinese New Year, Shitou would just make a few dumplings and cook some meat, and that would be considered the Chinese New Year.
This was the first time that someone had spent the New Year with him since his parents passed away, so Shitou naturally took it very seriously.
Shen Siyue took all the white flour and other things she bought to Shitou's house.
Since the relationship between the two cannot be made public yet, Shen Siyue went to Shitou’s house secretly.
The two of you are together, you knead the dough while she lights the fire, chatting while working. Even though it is cold outside, the small mud house is warm and sunny.
Before I knew it, it was the morning of New Year's Eve.
Shen Siyue found the new clothes she had made this winter and put them on over her cotton-padded jacket, then tucked a top she had made for Shitou under her armpit and prepared to lock the door and go out.
Li Xiang, who was busy making paste in the outer room of the east house, heard the noise, wiped her hands with her apron and ran out.
"Yue'er, where are you going?"
The closer it got to the New Year, the more anxious Li Xiang became.
She wanted to call Shen Siyue over to celebrate the New Year together, but she was afraid that her father-in-law and Shen Xiashu would disagree.
So in recent days, she has paid special attention to Shen Siyue’s movements.
After meeting her in the courtyard for several times in a row, Li Xiang wanted to step forward and persuade Shen Siyue to admit her mistake to the whole family so that she would not be alone during the New Year.
But every time Shen Siyue just glanced at her sideways, and left without waiting for her to speak, not giving her a chance to speak at all.
It was really too late today, so as soon as Li Xiang heard the sound of the door of the small east room being locked, she ran out.
Shen Siyue frowned and looked at Li Xiang who was blocking her way with some impatience: “What are you doing?”
Li Xiang was afraid that someone would come out of the east room in a while, so she wanted to pull Shen Siyue to the small east room, but Shen Siyue shook her arm away: "If you have something to say, say it quickly, I'm busy!"
Seeing that she was not cooperating, Li Xiang had to give up the idea of going to the small east room to talk, and whispered to Shen Siyue: “Yue’er, today is the New Year, how lonely it would be if you were alone to keep watch?”
"Come with mom to apologize to your grandpa and your dad, say a few nice words, and come over to have dinner with us on New Year's Eve?"
The most important thing about Chinese New Year is family reunion. Li Xiang felt uncomfortable when she thought about her daughter spending the New Year all alone.
Shen Siyue felt powerless. The original owner's mother was like a dog-skin plaster that couldn't be thrown away.
She thought that after a whole winter, Li Xiang would finally face reality, right?
It seems that there is still no result now.
She still had the idea of reconciliation between the two sides, and thought that as long as Shen Siyue admitted her mistake, the whole family would return to the past!
"If you have the energy to persuade me, you should just contribute your own flesh and blood to the Shen family. Please let me go and give me a way to live, okay?"
"I just want to spend the New Year by myself. I don't want to serve a group of wolves and tigers. I repeat, I will spend the New Year by myself. Thank you for your kindness. Do you understand?"
But obviously Li Xiang didn't understand. She always thought that what happened in the past was because Shen Siyue was too willful. As long as she took the initiative to admit her mistakes and bowed her head, the matter would be over.
"Yue'er, are you still angry? It's been so long, you should be angry now. Why can't you let it go?"
"Your grandfather and your father are the elders after all. Even if what they did was wrong, you, as a junior, should bear more responsibility, right? Let it go. If you keep harping on it, when will it ever end?"
Shen Siyue was so angry that she laughed after hearing this.
Li Xiang, as a mother, is always like this, always trying to make those who are easy to talk to back down.
She always kept saying that they were the elders after all...it was all over...just bear with it...
Today is New Year's Eve. Shen Siyue wants to have a good start and doesn't want to get angry, so she asks Li Xiang: "Do you really want us to reconcile?"
Li Xiang nodded quickly and vigorously.
Is there any need to ask this?
We are all family. Even upper and lower teeth can fight sometimes, let alone family members?
Shen Siyue decided to defeat magic with magic, she put on a somewhat regretful expression, and the words she said were much milder than before.
"I also want to reconcile, but I can't bring myself to do it! How about you ask Chen Xiashu to come and talk to me? Or Old Man Shen can come too. As long as the two of them are willing to come, I will definitely admit my mistake."
After saying that, he looked at Li Xiang expectantly.
"I...I...your grandfather and the others are our elders after all. How could they...they come to you?"
Shen Siyue's words made Li Xiang, who had just been thinking about you, feel troubled.
She kept twisting her hands together and her face was full of embarrassment.
Shen Siyue said indifferently: "It depends on you, right? You have been in the Shen family for so many years, and you have been working hard from beginning to end. The old oxen in the village have not done as much as you. Don't you have this face?"
"You are my mother, haven't you always said that this is all for my own good? Now I just ask you to persuade them, can't you do it?"
