Old Mrs. Shen couldn't bear to watch the affectionate scene between the grandparents and grandchildren.
"You know how much the Sanya couple cherishes this girl. Who can bully her?"
Old man Shen glared at her unhappily before looking at Lin Ran and explaining:
"Your grandma has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. I don't know who was the one who kept nagging Ranran at home why she didn't come over to play."
After her secret was exposed, Old Lady Shen looked a little unnatural.
"No, I didn't. I just saw that these kids have grown up one by one and have forgotten about us two old fools."
As he said this, he turned around and walked towards Shen Wenfang. He had a round and plump figure, and the way he walked was quite cute.
Old Man Shen and Lin Ran smiled at each other.
Lin Ran also knew Mrs. Shen's temperament. Although she was a little partial to her children and quite snobbish, she was still nice to her grandchildren.
When Old Lady Shen saw the canned meat brought by Shen Wenfang, her originally lukewarm attitude immediately changed, and she forced a smile on her face.
"Third girl, this is canned meat. Where did you get it? Does the third son-in-law still have this kind of access?"
Shen Wenfang had long been accustomed to Old Lady Shen's attitude. Although she still felt a little uncomfortable, what could she do?
Who said she is your own mother?
At this time, I could only smile and say that it was given to me by someone else.
Sure enough, when Mrs. Shen heard this, the smile on her face immediately disappeared. The speed at which she changed her expression was truly astonishing.
After a while, Fourth Aunt Shen pushed her bicycle into the fenced yard.
Following behind was their only daughter Cao Mingzhu, who was dark and strong. She was the same age as Lin Ran, both were seventeen years old, but she was a little younger.
As soon as Old Lady Shen saw her most beloved little daughter coming back, she hurried out to greet her, her face full of wrinkles from smiling.
"Why are you and Mingzhu the only ones here? My fourth son-in-law isn't here? I even specially cooked his favorite dish, fried leeks and eggs."
Fourth Aunt Shen slowly parked her bicycle, straightened her red dacron shirt, and then replied with a sweet smile.
"Mom, you know how busy Changzheng is usually. He really can't come today."
"But he's also thinking about you, so he asked me to bring you two pounds of egg cakes. They're made with eggs and white flour, so they're super soft and perfect for you and Dad's teeth."
As she spoke, she took out an oil-paper bag from the cloth bag on the front of the cart and handed it to Old Lady Shen.
When Old Mrs. Shen heard that her most promising fourth son-in-law was thinking about her, her heart was already filled with joy.
When he heard that he had brought him some egg cake, he smiled even more, but he still said politely:
"Why did you spend that much money? It's a waste to give us this precious thing to eat!"
Although he said this, his hands moved quickly and he took the oil paper bag.
Aunt Shen Si's grand display naturally attracted the attention of everyone in the main hall.
Aunt Shen felt a little indignant when she saw how happy Old Lady Shen was.
"Look, Mom wasn't this happy even when we came back. Daughters are really different from each other."
Shen Wenfang on the side didn't say anything. She was really used to Old Lady Shen's favoritism towards her younger daughter.
But Aunt Shen's expression turned unhappy when she heard this, and she replied in a neither-so-positive tone.
"Who can blame her for marrying well?"
Several people were sitting in the main room without moving, but when Second Aunt Shen caught a glimpse of the red dacron shirt on Fourth Aunt Shen, her eyes suddenly lit up and she immediately stood up and moved over.
"Little sister, your shirt is so beautiful. Where did you buy it? Do you still sell such beautiful shirts in the commune?"
Aunt Shen Si's face was full of pride when she heard this. She walked into the main hall and said loudly:
"This is the popular Dacron in Shanghai. My red color is hard to find even in the county town. Changzheng had someone bring it back from Shanghai."
"I actually think it's pretty, but it's too expensive. I didn't want it at first, but Changzheng insisted on buying it for me, and I wouldn't listen no matter what I said."
Suddenly, everyone in the room was attracted by the popular Dacron in Shanghai. They gathered around Fourth Aunt Shen, wanting to touch it but afraid that their rough calluses would scratch the new material.
After hearing what Fourth Aunt Shen said next, the women in the room were envious.
Fourth Aunt Shen really enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention, and even imitated the female stars on TV and started posing like a model.
But I have to say that Fourth Aunt Shen is indeed the most beautiful of the four sisters in the Shen family, with fair skin, double eyelids, and slightly curly short hair.
The only shortcoming is probably the height. She and Aunt Shen are not very tall, about 1.55 meters.
After everyone had had enough of the fun, they sat down again. For a moment, the room was filled with the chatter of women.
Old man Shen asked a few more questions about Lin Ran's recent situation. When he learned that Lin Ran had become a scorekeeper, he was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling, and his gap teeth were exposed.
After hearing this, several aunts and uncles also praised me highly.
But Cao Mingzhu was most unhappy to hear her elders praising Lin Ran, so she could not sit still and ran to the yard.
When Old Lady Shen saw this, she started to chase people away.
"Alright, alright, all you kids should go out and play."
Lin Ran knew that they were about to get down to business, so she tactfully got up and left.
The other cousins followed them out.
It’s strange to say, but by the time Lin Ran came to the Shen family, there was a sense of more female than male.
Look, Aunt Shen has four children, three girls and one boy, but none of them came today.
Aunt Shen's family is better, with one boy and one girl.
Lin Ran's family is a special case, with three sons and one daughter.
Aunt Shen Si has only one daughter.
Uncle Shen has two daughters, while Uncle Shen has one boy and one girl.
So only a few cousins gathered together at this time.
