Back home, the two beautiful women were skewering lamb in the kitchen.
Hearing that Shen Lang had returned, Shuang'er poked her head out of the kitchen and said, "Young Master, the lamb skewers will be ready soon, please wait a moment!"
When Shen Tao saw Shuang'er, he was surprised.
Although there are many beautiful women on the internet now, there are very few top-tier beauties like Shuang'er who are all-natural. Shen Tao has never seen one before.
Shuang'er saw Shen Tao and asked, "Young master, is this your friend?"
Shen Lang nodded: "This is my childhood friend, Shen Tao."
"Oh, oh." Then Shuang'er greeted Shen Tao: "Hello."
Upon seeing the naturally beautiful woman in front of him greet him, Shen Tao was momentarily at a loss for words and awkwardly waved back, saying, "Hello, hello."
Then Shuang'er darted back to the kitchen.
Shen Tao was still staring blankly at the kitchen doorway.
Shen Lang patted the back of his head and laughed, "Don't look, that's mine."
"Brother Lang, is that your girlfriend?" Shen Tao asked.
Shen Lang thought for a moment and replied, "I guess so."
"Awesome, I'm impressed." Shen Tao gave a thumbs up.
Shen Lang smiled but didn't say anything.
Knowing that Shen Lang's friend had arrived, Yu Xian'er put down her work and filled a kettle with hot water from the tap in Shen Lang's house, which was equipped with a water purifier.
"Brother Lang, who is this beautiful woman?" Shen Tao asked in a low voice, watching Yu Xian'er's busy figure.
Yu Xian'er's inherent aura made Shen Tao hesitate to speak loudly for a moment.
Shen Lang patted his shoulder and said with a smile, "Call her sister-in-law."
"???" Shen Tao was completely bewildered: "You mean these two are your wives?"
Shen Lang nodded, without denying it.
Shuang'er's relationship with Yu Xian'er is more solid than an ironclad bond, and Shuang'er is only one step away from taking the final step.
"Brother Lang, please accept my bow." Immediately, Shen Tao bowed deeply to Shen Lang: "I beg Brother Lang to generously teach me the art of picking up girls."
"Get lost." Shen Lang kicked him and laughed, "You're still as unreliable as ever."
Shen Tao chuckled and whispered, "Brother Lang, I would call you the number one tough guy in Nanhui Village."
Shen Lang was speechless. He patted him on the shoulder, and then the two walked to the stone table in the backyard and sat down in front of the stone benches.
Yu Xian'er quickly came over with a pot of hot water and poured a cup for Shen Lang and Shen Tao.
"Thank you!" Shen Tao said, taking the hot water with a look of surprise and trepidation.
Yu Xian'er smiled and said, "No need to be so polite."
Then he looked at Shen Lang and said, "Young Master, the barbecue will take a while, you two chat first."
He then left the water boiler operator behind and went back to the kitchen to continue his work.
"Brother Lang, where is your wife from? How did you two meet?" Shen Tao asked, taking a sip of hot water.
Shen Lang pondered for a moment and replied, "Your sister-in-law is from Beijing. We met at a dinner party."
Shen Lang's words were not untrue. The two did indeed meet at the former Baiyun Restaurant, where Yu Xian'er prepared a lavish raw fish feast for him worth a fortune.
Shen Tao revealed a look of pure envy.
"Don't just stand there, the task of grilling the meat today is yours." Shen Lang gestured with his eyes to the barbecue grill set up in the garden.
"Haha, I love doing this." Shen Tao laughed heartily, then squatted down in front of the oven to start a fire.
After the charcoal in the roadside burned bright red, Shen Lang skewered one of the rabbits that Shuang'er had prepared onto the iron skewer he had bought and began to roast it on the iron grill.
Soon, Yu Xian'er and Shuang'er also came out carrying seasonings and skewers of lamb.
At this moment, Shen Lang said to Shen Tao, "Go to Shen Huan's house and call the three of them."
“Okay.” Shen Tao did not refuse.
He knew that Shen Lang's family and Shen Huan's family had a famously good relationship in the past. If the two families hadn't been related, Shen Lang and Shen Huan might have been betrothed as children.
Shen Lang will definitely invite Shen Huan's family when he returns, and he will be happy to do so.
"Young master, that must be your childhood friend and classmate, Shen Tao, right?" Yu Xian'er pulled up a small stool and sat down next to Shen Lang.
Shen Lang shook his head with a wry smile, while also marveling at the Yu family's capabilities. They had thoroughly investigated him in just one day. Luckily, he didn't have any dark past, otherwise he really wouldn't know how to face Yu Xian'er.
Shen Lang nodded: "Yes, but there are two childhood friends who are very close to us, but they are in other places, not in the village."
At this point, a look of nostalgia appeared on Shen Lang's face.
He still clearly remembers that when he was in the welfare home, those two people would visit him whenever they had free time, especially on holidays.
She even took out all the pocket money she had saved up for several months and bought a lot of snacks for Shen Lang.
"Since we're on a trip, why don't we go see your childhood friends?" Yu Xian'er had a keen eye for people and instantly caught Shen Lang's change in mood.
“That’s fine, it’s been many years since we brothers last saw each other.”
Soon, Shen Tao brought Shen Huan and her family of three to Shen Lang's house.
Shen Huan's father, Shen Haifu, laughed heartily when he saw Shen Lang: "Third son, you're finally willing to stay home this night. Your uncle was so late that I thought you had already gone back to X City."
Shen Lang hurriedly stood up and went to greet him: "Seventh Uncle".
Shen Lang respected his elders who were kind to him. After helping Shen Haifu and Aunt Ning to sit down at the stone table, he offered them cigarettes and served them tea and water.
Shen Haifu, holding the cigarette Shen Lang handed him, exclaimed, "Uncle Seven is so lucky to have smoked Zhonghua cigarettes in this lifetime."
"Haha, look at what you're saying, Uncle." Shen Lang replied with a laugh, "What storms haven't you weathered?"
What Shen Lang said was true. When Shen Haifu was young, he often went out to make his way in the world. Every time he returned to the village, he would bring good cigarettes and wine to his father's house and drink with him all night.
Aunt Ning and her mother were also serving them and chatting.
He put himself and Shen Huan to sleep on the earthen kang (heated brick bed).
If we were to name the most knowledgeable person among the older generation in Nanhui Village, it would undoubtedly be Shen Haifu.
He's someone who's traveled all over the country. Although he hasn't saved much money, he's seen a lot of the world. When the men in the village gather in groups of three or five to chat, he's the most talkative.
Shen Haifu lit a cigarette, skillfully exhaled a puff of smoke, and said, "Little San'er, I heard from your aunt that you're planning to let Huanhuan work at your friend's company?"
Shen Lang nodded and said, "Uncle, if Xiao Huan doesn't want to take the postgraduate entrance exam, let her go out and start working as soon as possible. It's been almost a year since she graduated, and it's not good for her to stay at home all the time."
Shen Haifu pondered for a moment, finished his cigarette, and said, "Alright, let her go then."
Upon hearing this, Shen Huan immediately jumped up excitedly: "Thank you, Dad!"
"Don't jump." Shen Haifu looked at Shen Huan with a stern gaze and said, "You can go to work, but you're not allowed to cause trouble for your third brother. Otherwise, I'll go to X City and break your legs."
"Oh..." Shen Huan instantly wilted like a frostbitten eggplant.
Shen Haifu's approach to educating his daughter was unique and exceptional for most families.
When Shen Huan was a child, if he dared to cause trouble, he would be caught by Shen Haifu and given a good beating.
