The Gu family’s New Year’s Eve dinner was very sumptuous, with fish, shrimp, meat, and spicy rabbit. Everyone raised their glasses together and had a prosperous New Year.
After New Year’s Eve, it is New Year’s Day.
The Gu family’s New Year’s Day was no different from previous years.
It was the first time for Gu Shuhe to see the Shen family’s New Year’s Day.
Starting from eight o'clock in the morning, people from the Shen family began to arrive one after another.
Those people pushed their bicycles, with snow and mud on their feet, and rubbed their feet against the gate of Shen's courtyard. Then they came into the courtyard with smiles on their faces, carrying things in their hands.
After entering the main room, the person left after a while.
People came one after another until 10:30 in the morning when they stopped coming.
In the end, only Uncle Shen's family stayed for lunch.
Shen's uncle has four children.
The oldest one is only 20 years old after the Chinese New Year this year and is not married yet.
So everyone came to pay New Year's greetings.
Chen Ying and Aunt Shen were cooking in the kitchen.
Shen Tingzhi took her cousin into the house to see her new facial cream and lipstick.
Gu Shuhe gave her the lipstick last night on New Year’s Eve.
There was a box of lipstick in Gu Shuhe's dowry, which was stuffed in by Wen Tang.
When Wen Tang was dressing her on the morning of her wedding, he said, "Everyone loves beauty. Take these lipsticks with you. If there is a suitable opportunity in the future, you can give them to your in-laws. Although few people in our county use them, if you have been to the city, you will know that these are used by city women and they will appreciate them."
On New Year's Eve, Shen Pengfei gave red envelopes to all the children in the family, and naturally gave one to Gu Shuhe as well.
Gu Shuhe felt that she should also give something to her in-laws!
She was originally planning to give a red envelope.
She returned to her room, took the money, and wrapped three red envelopes, preparing one for Chen Ying, one for Shen Tingyu, and one for Shen Tingzhi.
But Chen Ying and Shen Tingyu didn't want it.
Shen Tingyu said: If I ask you for a red envelope at my age, I will be laughed at!
Shen Tingci also said that he didn’t need to give it to him.
Gu Shuhe didn't insist either.
Chen Ying didn't mean to say, "Your father and I are still so young, how can we ask for your money?"
"Put it away quickly. I'm glad you have this intention."
"We don't want money. You should give us a grandson as soon as possible. I would love him more than anyone else."
When Gu Shuhe heard this, he subconsciously looked at Shen Tingci.
Shen Tingci “…”
Don't look at him, because he has no say in this matter.
He couldn't make the decision, but Chen Tingci would divert the trouble, so Chen Tingci said, "After the New Year, let Tingyu give you a grandson."
"It doesn't matter if we come later, or you won't be able to bring it all by yourself."
Shen Tingyu had no idea that this was his brother's attempt to divert the blame, and he clamped his legs together, lowered his head, and became shy as he sat there.
Chen Ying and Shen Tingyu didn't want it, and Shen Tingzhi was embarrassed to ask for it, "Sister-in-law, I'm so old now, don't give it to me. When you have a baby, I will give a red envelope to my nephew or niece!"
Gu Shuhe thought of the lipsticks that Wen Tang had stuffed into her dowry box, and then ran back to the room to pick out two good-looking lipsticks that were suitable for Chen Ying and Shen Tingzhi respectively, and then gave them to them.
Chen Ying is not one of those rural farming mothers-in-law, and she dresses quite elegantly when she goes out.
Sometimes you need to dress up for some occasions.
She knew about lipstick. It was quite expensive and hard to buy. Anyway, it was not available in their small county town. They had to go to the city to buy it, and they had to go to the Friendship Store to buy it.
So she was also very surprised when Gu Shuhe gave her lipstick.
Shen Tingzhi was even more surprised. Girls of her age were at the stage of dressing up, and she loved things like lipstick very much.
I immediately found a mirror and applied it on my mouth.
After applying it, Shen Tingzhi was very surprised. "This color... If you don't look closely, it doesn't look like lipstick at all. It's not bright at all."
Shen Tingzhi also showed it to her mother and others.
Chen Ying's eyes lit up when she saw it. "It just looks pretty, not seductive."
Her expectant gaze fell on the one in her hand.
Gu Shuhe said to her, "Mom, I picked this one based on your age. You can try it out and see if it looks good on you!"
"My sister-in-law gave me a lot of lipsticks. If this one doesn't suit you, I'll go pick some more."
With a reason, Chen Ying immediately started to try, "Then I'll give it a try!"
While applying it to her mouth, Chen Ying said vaguely, "It will definitely suit you. The one you picked for Tingzhi is quite suitable."
Sure enough, after applying it, she looked more healthy, and "I feel like she's become whiter," Chen Ying said to the mirror.
Shen Tingzhi took a look and nodded, “Yeah, it makes people look more fashionable.”
Chen Ying couldn't help but be happy, "Shuhe, your lipstick is really good, better than mine!"
Gu Shuhe was proud when she heard this. "Well, this is made in my sister-in-law's factory. These are all the colors she made. She said that lipstick is not just for making your lips red, but more for making you look good."
"But everyone's skin tone and temperament are different, so there should be a wide range of lipstick shades to choose from."
Chen Ying and Wen Tang praised her together, "Your sister-in-law is not only capable, but also smart. No wonder she can be the factory director. She is so capable!"
Because the lipstick looked good, Shen Tingzhi showed it off to her cousin the next day.
I even painted it on my cousin and said, "Look, doesn't it look really good?"
The cousin nodded and looked at the lipstick in her hand with envy.
Shen Tingzhi told her, "My sister-in-law gave it to me."
Then during lunch, Shen's cousin showed her mother whether there was any change in her mouth.
Before the Shen family's aunt could say anything, she started saying, "The lipstick that Sister Zhi put on me looks good, doesn't it?"
"My sister-in-law gave it to her."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Gu Shuhe with eager eyes, and it was obvious that she wanted it.
Shen Tingzhi was unhappy with her cousin. Why did she want everything?
Show off to her, why do you still want it!
Before Shen Tingzhi could get even angrier, Gu Shuhe said, "Well, this is something my sister-in-law gave me. I remembered it yesterday, so I found it and gave one to Mom and Tingzhi."
"I have two more. I'll get them for my aunt and Xiaomin." Xiaomin is my cousin's name.
Uncle Shen's family has two daughters, but the other daughter is too young and obviously not suitable for receiving gifts like lipstick, so Gu Shuhe did not include her.
The young aunt said very embarrassedly, "Shuhe, don't listen to her nonsense, don't, don't."
Although she said she didn't want it, Aunt Shen was very happy after getting the thing.
Because she was happy, the Shen family's aunt talked about the day she married Shen Tingci. "Shuhe, let me tell you, I've never seen such a generous sister-in-law in my life. Your sister-in-law is really good to you."
"Better than my own sister."
Gu Shuhe also nodded seriously, "My sister-in-law is a very good person!"
The Shen family's aunt agreed with this and did not forget to praise, "Your family is also a blessed family, marrying such a good daughter-in-law."
Chen Ying quickly said, "Our family is also blessed to have Shu He married into our family."
