Chapter 477 Red Envelope
The three cubs are much better behaved than before.
The room was filled with the sound of a sleeping baby.
Shen Xingjiang didn't turn off the lights immediately. He rummaged through the boxes and found a piece of red paper, pressed it on the cabinet and cut it, with a bowl of paste next to it.
Jiang Wanwan spread her hair and combed it with her hands. She asked in confusion, "Why don't you sleep at night? What are you doing?"
Without even raising his head, Shen Xingjiang picked up the scissors and cut the red paper.
"Go to sleep first, you'll know tomorrow."
Jiang Wanwan had enough rest during the day and couldn't fall asleep. She propped up her chin and looked at Shen Xingjiang.
"Jiangjiang, you are so beautiful."
Shen Xingjiang paused in his paper-cutting action: “Go to sleep.”
Jiang Wanwan smiled secretly in her heart. She had nothing to do, so she lay down and read a book.
Who can't guess it? It's so mysterious.
Using red paper paste, isn’t it just to make red envelopes?
Jiang Wanwan felt sleepy after watching for a while.
Fell asleep lying sideways.
Shen Xingjiang was indeed giving out red envelopes. Last year he only gave one big one, but this year he gave four.
Although the child cannot spend money yet, Shen Xingjiang, an old father, does not want to lack the sense of ritual of accompanying his child to grow up.
After wrapping the red envelopes, Shen Xingjiang put a hundred yuan in the big red envelope, and the three small ones put ten yuan each.
After wrapping it up, he put the things away.
Turn off the light and go to sleep.
He gently lifted the quilt and just lay down when a sweet and soft body rolled over to him, lay on his arms, hugged his waist, and rode him domineeringly.
Shen Xingjiang took the opportunity to hug her and patted her shoulder.
After a night, the ground was covered with snow and New Year's Eve arrived.
Early in the morning, Xu Lan and Wei Shufen prepared to cook.
White steam was bubbling out of the kitchen, and cigarette smoke was puffing out of the chimney.
The pigs that Shen Xingjiang and his team had brought back had been separated. The ribs, pig trotters, pig heads, and all kinds of meat were separated. They would cook some of them today.
In the morning, Old Mrs. Shen came to the big vat containing meat and looked around.
"Give me some of the cockscomb fat and some tenderloin."
Wei Shufen held the knife in her hand: "Mom, who do you want to give it to?"
Old Lady Shen: "Give some to your Fifth Grandma, the team leader, and Grandma Ge Hongling and Bao."
Wei Shufen found out and went to the kitchen to find some straw ropes. She took the meat out of the vat and divided it into several portions, then tied each portion up with the straw ropes.
After the division was completed, Old Lady Shen asked Jiang Jun to go out for a walk with her.
Jiang Jun loved to join in the fun, so he had already greeted Old Lady Shen. When he returned to the production team, she would call him wherever she went.
Jiang Jun wrapped himself in a big cotton-padded jacket and wore a Lei Feng hat, and picked up the basket containing the meat with a smile on his face.
Old Mrs. Shen smiled and said, "That's quite a lot of power."
Jiang Jun raised his head proudly: "That's right, my brother-in-law and I have been training for so long, and we are much stronger than before."
Old Lady Shen: "Have you seen your brother Erzhu?"
Jiang Jun goes to bed early and gets up early here. He has nothing to do all day and his sleep quality is very good. He woke up at around six o'clock this morning.
"He's in the back garden."
Old Lady Shen: "Then wait a moment, I'll go find him."
Jiang Jun: "Okay."
There were some stones and other things in the back garden. Since he didn't come back usually, Chen Erzhu took advantage of this time at home to repair the garden.
Throw away the unwanted stones and use the usable ones to build walls.
While he was busy, the milk came.
"Erzhuzi, don't do this during the New Year." Old Mrs. Shen called out to him.
Shen Erzhu threw the stone in his hand.
"It's alright, grandma. I have nothing to do anyway, so I'll fix the wall and make it look better."
Old Lady Shen: "I know this yard is given to the fourth brother and his family. Do you want to go home and work for them?"
Shen Erzhu was silent.
He had never told anyone else what he was thinking, but he didn't expect that his grandmother knew it.
Their room is too messy.
When Liu Yeju was around, she caused unrest in the family and did a lot of harm to the fourth son's wife.
They didn't care and took their second wife to the military area.
His mother, his father, and Sanzhuzi were so angry that they showed no mercy at all.
A few days ago, the fourth brother's family finally treated everyone to a meal, but Chen Tang and Chen Tian did that kind of thing again.
With so many things happening, Shen Erzhu didn't know how he should face Lao Si and his wife.
It's not that he can't hold his head up, it's that he doesn't know how to make up for it.
The less the fourth brother and the others cared about him, the more upset he felt.
It felt like there was a stone blocking his throat and he couldn't breathe.
Old Lady Shen: "We can do it anytime. After the Chinese New Year, the fourth son and his wife will go to Beijing to study. You and Dazhuzi can help him look after the factory and keep it going. That's all."
"Some things just happen, and they happen."
"If you take all the blame for other people's mistakes, after a while, you will feel uncomfortable and it will affect the relationship between brothers."
“No one can withstand such great pressure.”
Shen Erzhu lowered his head.
Old Lady Shen: "You said you were working here during the Chinese New Year. If someone didn't know, they would think you were being bullied."
Shen Erzhu was frightened by these words and broke out in a cold sweat.
Most people in rural areas are gossipy.
He didn't want others to misunderstand that he was being bullied here.
Shen Erzhu looked around and said, "I'm done with this. I'll do it another day."
Old Lady Shen: "You and Jing Zhilan are getting married soon, why don't you bring her over here, along with her son, to celebrate the New Year together."
"She is hardworking and can help with the work. Sometimes we work together and become closer."
During the New Year holidays, there are a lot of people coming and going. Jing Zhilan stays here with her children and gets to know some people.
Shen Erzhu: "I talked to her about this, and she said she was afraid that she would have a bad experience and that everyone would laugh at our family, and she didn't want to cause trouble for us during the Chinese New Year."
Old Lady Shen: "You are stupid, they can say whatever they want."
"If you listen to outsiders, you are like their underpants. You have to smell whatever they fart. Whether your life is good or not is your own business."
"You always give in to Jing Zhilan. After so many times, she is disappointed and thinks you despise her too. You can't treat someone badly just because he is sensible."
The words may be rough, but the truth is there.
Shen Erzhu’s dark skin turned red, and he smiled embarrassedly: “Grandma, then I’ll go get her and Xiaotian.”
Old Lady Shen nodded: "Go ahead."
She also had to deliver the meat.
Shen Erzhu was overjoyed.
He went to meet people with a happy face.
Jing Zhilan and Jing Xiaotian did not go back to her parents' home for the New Year. Her brother had gotten married, and no one wanted to see such an unlucky person during the holidays.
She cooked some noodles in the morning, planning to just have a quick bite and then make something delicious in the evening.
Jing Xiaotian is very sensible and studies even during the holidays.
After studying for a while, he still asked: “Mom…why don’t we go to Uncle Shen’s house for the New Year?”
Aren’t you getting married after the New Year?
Jing Zhilan smiled, "It's Chinese New Year, and they have a lot of guests. It would be bad for us to go there. Your uncle Shen's fourth uncle is very powerful, and your fourth aunt is from Beijing. Their friends are all powerful. If we go there, it would be bad to cause trouble for them."
“Don’t worry, your Uncle Shen is thinking about you, and he said he would give you a red envelope.”
