Chapter 186 Family Portrait

186 Family Portrait

It was a rare opportunity for Qin Ru to come back to her parents' home, so she would definitely go back to her room and have a private chat with her mother.

He stuffed the red envelope into her mother's pocket first, then asked in a low voice, "Why is sister-in-law willing to come back this year? How did brother convince her?"

Although she didn't go home very often last year, she knew everything clearly.

It was expected that I would hardly see my eldest brother and his family again in the next few years.

As a result, didn’t Su Yaozu come last time because of Qin Lie and Shen Yiyi’s contract for the reservoir? After he came back, he told me that his eldest brother and sister-in-law had also returned.

It really surprised her.

Even with her intelligence, she couldn't figure out how her elder brother could convince this particularly arrogant sister-in-law.

Mother Qin: "Your eldest brother didn't convince her. She wanted to come back on her own."

"How is that possible? I didn't get along very well with you last year."

"How would I know what she's thinking?" Qin's mother had prepared not to see her son and granddaughter for several years, but she never expected that they would come back.

She was surprisingly good too.

"Or is it that the eldest sister-in-law feels that she was overshadowed by Yi Yi last year and wants to come back and seek revenge this year?" Qin Ru whispered.

Mother Qin: "That's impossible. Yi Yi gave birth to Heng Heng and Fan Tuan this year. No matter how big her business is, can it be bigger than Yi Yi's?"

Qin Ru smiled: "That's what I said."

But apart from this, I really can’t think of any other reason to come back for the New Year.

But she was not a wicked girl, so she stopped talking about this, as it might seem like she was trying to sow discord. Instead, she asked with a smile, "You are happy to have two grandchildren this year, right?"

Mother Qin smiled and said, "Your father and I have finally fulfilled our wish!"

Qin Ru also knew that the two elders' wishes had been fulfilled. She could tell by looking at their mental state.

After chatting with her mother for a while, she came out and went to the kitchen to help Shen Yiyi and the others.

"Sister, you are a guest, just sit and wait for your food. There is no need for you to do anything." Shen Yiyi said as she saw her coming.

"It's okay, I want to talk to you too." Qin Ru said with a smile.

They were busy and chatting in the kitchen, while Su Yaozu was chatting with Qin Feng, Qin Lie and Qin's father.

The children were playing outside, having fun with firecrackers.

After the adults called for dinner, everyone came back one by one, including Qin Ningning, and they had a lot of fun playing with their cousins.

This dish was also served.

A dish of braised chicken, a dish of crispy fried meatballs, a dish of braised pig's trotters, a plate of stir-fried pork intestines with salted vegetables, and a dish of braised pork head.

The taste of roasted pork head is beyond words, it is especially fragrant.

But there are more than these. Crabs and oysters are eaten in the New Year’s Eve dinner, but there are still a lot of shrimps, so steamed shrimps must be arranged.

Fish is definitely a must, so I grilled two.

Then there is a garlic pumpkin and cabbage with oil residue.

When the son-in-law, grandchildren and granddaughters come to visit, they must be made sure to eat well and enjoy themselves before they can leave.

So these dishes go without saying.

Just like last year, Qin's mother also gave her son-in-law more food at the dinner table, allowing him to eat more.

Su Yaozu kept saying it was delicious, enough, enough.

It made everyone laugh.

After finishing the meal, Shen Yiyi asked everyone to get ready to take pictures.

This is truly a big family portrait.

Jiang Xiangyi immediately took out her makeup and applied a layer of makeup to her not-so-good complexion.

When she came out, her nephews and nieces exclaimed: "It smells so good, did you put on makeup? You look so beautiful!"

Jiang Xiangyi was a little proud; she was very confident about her appearance.

But seeing everyone looking at her, she said calmly: "We are going to take a photo, so of course we have to face the camera in our best condition. This is the most basic etiquette."

If you say so, then so be it.

No one said much, and everyone started to stand in line according to the positions designated by Shen Yiyi.

Du Jiang and his wife went back to her parents' home next door, so Shen Yiyi called Ma Aiguo over to help take care of the photos.

When Ma Aiguo saw this scene, he praised: "This is a real family portrait."

Then, he followed the angle adjusted by Shen Yiyi, counted one, two, three, and pressed the key.

A complete family portrait is taken.

Because our family had already taken the photo, now only Su Yaozu and Qin Ru's family were left.

Here is an additional shot of their family of six.

I took a family photo for them, and also a photo of Qin Ru and Su Yaozu.

There are also individual photos of Qin's father, Qin's mother, Qin Feng, Qin Ru, Qin Lie, and Qin Hong, the six members of the family.

As well as the child's father and mother, and a group of grandchildren.

Of course there are also photos of my nephews’ brothers and sisters.

Su Yaozu also took a photo with Qin Feng and Qin Lie, but Su Yaozu stood in the middle, making them look like two righteous public security comrades torturing a prisoner.

Shen Yiyi smiled secretly in her heart when she saw this, but she didn't care about them on the surface and just let them take the photo.

It's not over until the last roll of tape is used up.

"Aunt, when can we see the photos?" the nephew and niece asked happily.

Shen Yiyi: "Not so fast, but don't worry, your grandma will send the photos to you when they arrive."

Of course the children were happy.

It was not until two or three in the afternoon that Su Yaozu and Qin Ru took the children back home.

The children were very happy. They took red envelopes from their grandma and grandma. Their uncle and aunt also gave them red envelopes. Their aunt also gave them one each.

But none of these joys can compare to their joy of taking photos.

This is the first time I’ve taken a photo since I was a child.

Needless to say, Su Yaozu and Qin Ru also had smiles on their faces.

When they returned to Lao Su's home, several of Lao Su's daughters and sons-in-law also returned with their grandchildren.

Because there are five sisters, all of them are here, so it goes without saying how big the scene is, right?

But the sisters are very good at dealing with people and they keep the house clean and tidy, so Qin Ru doesn't have to get involved at all this time.

Mr. Su and Mrs. Su are also very happy.

When an old person gets old, doesn't he just want to have many children and grandchildren and a happy and harmonious family?

I'm not afraid of noise, I'm afraid of quietness and loneliness.

For example, at Old Shen’s house.

He had three daughters, but the eldest got divorced and married and lived in a cave in the mountains. There has been no news since then and no one knows whether she is alive or dead.

Not to mention the second daughter, who was beaten up by Shen Dagang after she took sides in the last quarrel. She will definitely not dare to come to the house again in the short term.

As for the third daughter, she jumped out of the fire pit and cut off all ties with her. She stabbed her every time she saw her.

So when other people's daughters and sons-in-law brought their grandchildren back to their parents' homes to have a great time, no one paid any attention to the Shen family.

The daughter didn't come back, and the sons took their wives to visit relatives.

Shen's mother was the only one left at home.

There were also neighbors who deliberately came to humiliate her, saying, "Oh, your daughters didn't come back this year?"

The neighbors live here, so they all know about the Shen family’s affairs.

Mother Shen was so angry that her face was twisted.

While cursing her daughters for being ungrateful and unfilial, Shen's mother couldn't help but think about her youngest son who was in the city and didn't come back for the New Year.

When her younger son married a woman from the city, she would go to the city to meet her younger son and his wife, making all the neighbors jealous.
