Chapter 121 Temporary Family Group
With tears in his eyes, Shang Ze said, "Brother, these dumplings... aren't there a bit too many?!"
Shang Chen glanced at it indifferently, "Didn't you say you liked the dumplings I made?"
“I specially asked the aunt to cook extra, so you won’t miss it when you go back to Jiangnan.”
The aunt happened to hear Shang Ze say he liked dumplings, and said with a smile, "Does A-Ze like them so much?"
"Don't worry, there's still one more pot."
Shang Ze exclaimed in disbelief: "...There's another pot?!"
Does his brother really want to stuff him to death?!
"Brother~"
The business owners were all horrified.
Shang Chen prepared a dipping sauce for Wen Xi, glancing at Shang Ze out of the corner of his eye: "Eat quickly, it won't taste good when it gets cold."
Shang Ze: "..."
Why did that sentence make him feel like he was about to be executed?
Shang Ze decided to eat his fill first, then play the victim and beg his brother to show mercy.
Having come up with a solution, Shang Ze immediately picked up a dumpling and began to eat it with relish.
I had only taken two bites when a spicy sensation shot straight to my head.
It's hard to swallow, and it's hard to spit it out.
Shang Ze searched for water with a ferocious expression.
Shang Mu noticed him and handed him some water: "What's wrong?!"
Shang Ze gulped down half a bottle of water, his eyes welling up with tears from the spiciness. He accused, "My brother poisoned the dumplings!"
Shang Shenyun said calmly, "It's not poisonous, just a pleasant surprise."
"This was prepared especially for you."
Shang Ze: "..."
Is it too late for him to return to Jiangnan now?
Shang Ze ate a few with tears in his eyes, his nose and eyes running from the spiciness, and he still tried to get closer to Shang Chen.
He tried to make Shang Chen see his younger brother's tearful face.
In the end, it was Mrs. Shang who felt sorry for her son: "Chenchen..."
There was a moment of silence at the dinner table when those two words were uttered.
Shang Mu turned her head, covered her face with her hand, and laughed.
Shang Ze wasn't afraid of spicy food anymore, and he was so excited that he almost grinned from ear to ear.
Even the merchant's father almost choked on the dumplings.
Shang Chen: "..."
Mrs. Shang, who was just speaking offhand, quickly stopped herself, "Ah Chen, look how spicy Ah Ze is. Don't let his mouth be swollen by tomorrow's New Year. Why don't we just let it go for now?"
Shang Ze nodded with teary eyes.
His mother still dotes on him, her youngest son, the most.
The next second, they heard Mrs. Shang say, "Leave the rest for him to eat tomorrow."
"I'll keep an eye on him and make sure he doesn't cheat!"
"Watching his own brother make a fool of himself, he definitely deserves to be punished."
Shang Ze: "..."
Shang Chen reluctantly replied, "That's fine too."
"There are still a few boxes in the refrigerator. He can take them with him when he goes back to Jiangnan."
The shopkeeper's mother volunteered: "I'll talk to your second uncle and have someone keep an eye on Aze. During this time, he'll only be allowed to eat dumplings."
Shang Ze: "..."
Shang Chen: "..."
He didn't intend to go this far.
The two children fell silent as they looked at their mother, who was clearly enjoying the spectacle.
After dinner, Wenxi received a message from Wenzhou.
[The dumplings arrived. Who made the other box?]
Wenxi walked to the French windows and slowly replied to the message.
The ugly box is mine, the pretty box is from Shang Chenbao.
His cooking skills are pretty good.
[Hey bro, why don't you give him some points?]
Wen Zhou replied after several tens of seconds.
+1
Wenxi's lips twitched when she saw the +1.
What is Shang Chen's total score now?
[12 points]
When Wenxi saw the score, her vision went black.
Given his brother's strictness, when will Shang Chen ever pass?
Wenxi then sent Wenzhou a video of them making dumplings.
The Wen family never had a proper New Year's gathering; it was always quiet and deserted.
After seeing the video, Wenxi thought of sharing this excitement with Wenzhou.
In the video, Shang Mu is secretly applying flour to Shang Chen's face, jokingly urging Wen Xi, "Sister-in-law, you should also put some whiter on my brother, so he doesn't always have such a dark face."
Wen Xi responded, her clear, cool voice tinged with amusement, "Let me see where to apply it."
Shang's parents were laughing, while Shang Ze had a look of anticipation on his face.
It's a very short video, but it's full of warmth and liveliness.
The following video shows Wenxi smearing flour on Shang Chen's face, and Shang Chen helplessly grabbing her hand.
Wenxi was afraid that Wenzhou would be jealous if he saw this and deduct two points from Shang Chen, so she didn't post it.
Brother, let's make dumplings together next Chinese New Year.
【good. 】
You can teach me how to make bags later.
"Okay." Wen Zhou asked again, "Isn't Shang Chen very good at making dumplings?"
He is him, and my brother is my brother!
Wen Zhou sent a cute emoji, clearly having been appeased by Wen Xi.
After a while, he sent Wenxi a red envelope containing two hundred yuan.
Wenxi took the bag, somewhat puzzled.
[Brother, is this your New Year's money?]
In the past, Wenxi would always stay at home on New Year's Eve, and her brother would just give her a red envelope.
[Bonus points for your business performance, a reward for you.]
"Brother, two hundred is a bit too little."
Wenxi felt that two hundred was not enough for her date with Shang Shen.
We can't go to the movies every time.
Wen Zhou remained silent for a moment.
The maximum amount that can be given as a red envelope is 200.
How about I create a group chat, and you can give it to me there later?
Who should we pull?
[If it's just you, Shang Chen, and the three of us, the group red envelope limit can be up to 600.]
This way, Wenxi can have a proper date with Shang Chen, and she can also add her brother and Shang Chen to the same group chat, bringing the two of them closer.
This is a win-win situation.
Wen Zhou remained silent for a moment before replying with a simple "Okay".
In just a few seconds, Wen Zhou created a group chat and sent Wen Xi a 600 yuan red envelope.
Wenxi posted a picture of herself happily spinning around.
Thank you, bro.
After sending it, Wenxi privately reminded Wenzhou.
[Bro, please change the group name. Also, it's Shang Shen's birthday tomorrow.]
[You specifically reminded me because you wanted me to give him a birthday present?]
No, I just wanted to let you know.
【I see. 】
Wenxi was wondering what her brother was planning when she saw the group name had been changed.
——Temporary family group
Wenxi: "..."
