After entering the house.
Wang Aifen held Shen Man's hand tightly, her eyes fixed on her face. The more she looked, the more curious she became. She couldn't help but pull her to her side and introduce everyone to her one by one.
"There's no need to introduce your grandfather to me. I'll introduce you to the rest of our Shen family."
Having said that, she pulled Shen Man to sit in the house and pointed at a tall and thin woman in her forties.
"This is your great aunt. The last time you came over, she made the red floral dress for you."
"As for your uncle, he is still busy outside and hasn't come back yet."
Shen Man looked at the woman who smiled gently at her, her eyebrows curved, "Auntie is really skillful, that skirt is really beautiful, I can't bear to wear it."
The captain's wife smiled and said, "As long as Manman likes it, I'll make you a new one next time."
Anyone would be happy if they made the gift themselves and were liked by others.
Shen Mang was about to say that it was not necessary, after all, it took a long time to save up cloth coupons to buy a piece of cloth, and it was even more troublesome to make a piece of clothing.
My aunt usually has to go to work and is busy with other things when she gets home, so how can I bother her again?
Wang Aifen noticed her thoughts and spoke first, "Manman, your aunt is now working in our brigade's garment factory, and she's the workshop manager."
"Don't worry, a skirt is easy to make and won't take much time."
The captain's wife glanced at Yang Fang and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, you have taught Manman very well. I like her every move."
"But it's really not a big deal to make one skirt. I was afraid Manman wouldn't like it, so I didn't send more. How about this? I'll make two for Manman in person and send them back in a couple of days when I'm free."
Shen Man couldn't help but feel touched, "Thank you, auntie."
Next, Wang Aifen began to introduce her to Shen Jianbing and his sister Shen Hongxia.
"Manman, this is your cousin Jianbing and your cousin Juxiang. You came at the right time. Tomorrow is Hongxia's wedding, and we can just make it in time for the banquet."
Shen Hongxia's eyebrows curved, and she quickly came up to hold Shen Man's arm, "Sister Man, you are so beautiful. From childhood to adulthood, I have never seen a girl prettier than you."
"I never thought my sister is so beautiful. Others will be so jealous of me."
Before Sister Manman came back, she had already heard her parents and grandma recite it countless times.
She didn't believe how good and beautiful the other person was before, but after seeing her today, she believed it completely.
Shen Man had a natural sense of closeness towards this cousin, which was completely different from the feeling Shen Ping gave her.
She couldn't help laughing, "You are also very beautiful. I have prepared a wedding gift for you. I will give it to you later.
Shen Hongxia immediately threw herself into Shen Man's arms and hugged her waist tightly, "Really, thank you Sister Manman, you are so kind to me."
The captain's wife looked at her daughter-in-law who was so unreasonable and shook her head helplessly.
"Hongxia, you're going to get married tomorrow and become a grown-up girl, why haven't you behaved properly yet?"
As she spoke, she tried to pull someone back, "Your sister Manman just came over, she must be tired, don't throw yourself on her."
Shen Hongxia held onto Shen Man's waist tightly and refused to let go. "No, mother, you don't understand. This is a sign of our good sisterly relationship. It's rare for my sister to come back. I don't know when we will meet again."
"Besides, I'm getting married tomorrow, so stop bothering me."
After saying that, Shen Hongxia looked up at Shen Man with blinked eyes, her tone slightly raised, "Right, Sister Manman?"
Shen Man touched her head and nodded with a smile, "Yes."
After getting to know the Shen family one by one, Wang Aifang and Old Man Shen took Shen Man and talked to her for a long time before letting her hand go and letting Shen Hongxia take her for a walk.
In a blink of an eye, Shen Man and Yang Fang stayed here for a day or two.
During these one or two days, Shen Hongxia got married, and Old Man Shen turned sixty and married Aunt Shen from the next brigade.
The day after the elderly had their day off.
Led by the Shen family, Shen Man went to her father's grave to pay her respects. After everything was done, the two of them planned to leave the next day.
However, when Shen Man saw that Old Man Shen was not in good health and might leave at any time, she thought about it and finally decided to stay for another day.
Yang Fang was also very pleased with her decision. At night, the mother and daughter slept in the same bed, talking and chatting.
"Although mom took you with her to remarry, she had no choice. Manman, you still have your father's blood in your bones."
"Your father was a great soldier who died for the glory of the country. You are his only daughter. I hope you will always remember this."
She paused and continued, "As for your current father, he has also been very kind to you and has raised you. He has been very good to you, and you should also treat him as your own father."
"Of course, feelings are mutual. If you are good to me, you should be good to me. If you are not good to me in the future, you don't have to tolerate me."
…
Early the next morning.
As soon as Shen Man got up, she heard a knock on the door. She was the only one in the yard at this time.
So she went to open the door without thinking.
As soon as she opened the door, a chubby little girl rushed in and hugged her thighs tightly.
"Aunt, why are you here too? You didn't know that Xiaobei missed you so much when you were not here for the past two days."
"Dad, look, my aunt is here too. Did you bring me here just to see her?"
I knew that Dad missed Mom too.
Shen Man was stunned for a moment. Why did the father and daughter come?
But she didn't want to think about these things now, she quickly bent down and covered Gu Xiaobei's mouth.
"Xiaobei, have you forgotten what you promised me?"
Gu Xiaobei quickly shut his mouth and looked at Shen Man cautiously, not knowing where to put his little hands.
I'm in trouble.
I only remembered that I couldn't call her mom outside, but I forgot to pretend that I didn't know her.
Mom won't be angry, right?
Shen Man looked around. There were only the father and daughter here, and everyone else was still in the house. She finally felt relieved.
"Why are you here?"
Gu Qinglin didn't expect to meet Shen Man here.
Looking at the person in front of me, after not seeing her for a few days, she has changed a little, and it feels like she is full of freedom.
"I'm here to visit two old people."
The man had just finished speaking.
Wang Shufen happened to see it, her eyes lit up instantly, and she hurried over.
"Qinglin, why are you here again? You didn't even tell us why you came, and why are you bringing so many things with you?"
Gu Qinglin smiled and pulled Gu Xiaobei from Shen Man's thigh, "Xiaobei, call me grandma."
