When everyone arrived in front of the Shen family's courtyard, almost everyone was holding something in their hands.
Or some small handmade items given by fellow villagers, and some snacks, such as rice cakes, candied haws, small sugar men, etc.
The main reason was that the villagers were too enthusiastic, and the enthusiastic girls felt a little at a loss as to what to do.
Ye Xi stood beside Shen Cheng, looking at the little sugar man in his hand, and suddenly said: "Shen Cheng, do you still remember what I said to you at the beginning?"
"What?" Shen Cheng turned his head and looked at Ye Xi.
"In your eyes, it seems that the whole world is kind. You have no clear understanding of yourself or the world..." Ye Xi repeated what he had said to Chen Cheng, and then licked the little sugar man in his hand.
Mm, very sweet.
Then, Ye Xi continued, "Perhaps... I'm wrong. This world is indeed full of kindness, especially around you, whether it's your cat cafe, Huihui's hometown, or your hometown... I'm just limiting my vision to the dark side of the world. In fact, I should be the one who doesn't have a clear understanding..."
"You're right." Chen Cheng smiled faintly. "If the world is truly full of kindness, then what do we need to do? Human nature is evil, and the growth of darkness does not require any help at all. However, kindness requires people to work hard to spread it. In fact, what you describe is exactly what I pursue. It is precisely because of this pursuit that I have come into contact with more, that's all."
Ye Xi blinked when he heard that, then smiled: "I didn't expect you to say such a thing."
"These are all what my mother taught me." After leaving this sentence, Shen Cheng pushed open the door of the Shen family.
"Snap-squeak" a harsh friction sound was heard, causing Ye Xi to subconsciously tighten his collar.
Hearing what Chen Cheng said, Ye Xi suddenly became curious about what kind of person Chen Cheng's mother was.
In her mind, the image of a tall, middle-aged female scholar wearing glasses and full of literary atmosphere was slowly constructed.
"Xiao Cheng~" A girl rushed out of the house and rushed towards Shen Cheng with a smile.
Seeing this, Ye Xi was slightly stunned.
Is this young girl Shen Cheng's sister Shen Die?
That's not right. No matter how you look at it, the name "Xiao Cheng" should not be how a younger sister addresses her older brother.
Could it be Shen Cheng's sister? From this point of view, Shen Cheng's sister is too young, right?
"Mom!" The next moment, Shen Cheng's call directly broke Ye Xi's fantasy.
……mom?
Wait a minute, Shen Cheng is already twenty-three this year, and his mother... no matter what, she should be approaching fifty, right?
Looking at the girl hugging Shen Cheng, who looked like a high school student no matter how you looked at her, Ye Xi felt like he was struck by lightning.
"Mommy meow!"
"Mom...Mom, Happy New Year..."
"Happy New Year, Auntie!"
The girls who knew Chen Qing started to greet him, leaving those who had never seen Chen Qing standing there in a daze.
Ximing, Lingxue, and Yexi, you looked at me, I looked at you, and we could see the shock in each other's eyes.
Wen Yuanyuan was fine, as she had heard Lin Yuhui and the others talk about Shen Cheng's mother, but even so, she was shocked when she saw Shen Cheng's mother for the first time.
"Grandma!" Yanyan waved her little hand towards Chen Qing. Chen Qing smiled and picked up Yanyan, saying affectionately, "Did you miss grandma?"
Yanyan narrowed her eyes and smiled, "I do!"
Then, Chen Qing looked at Shen Cheng. When she saw that there were many more girls around Shen Cheng, she immediately understood: "Okay, don't freeze outside, come in quickly."
Shen Cheng's father, Shen Wei, also came out of the house. When he saw the girls around Shen Cheng, his face immediately showed ecstasy.
Is the Shen family...finally going to rise?
When I walked into the house, I saw the old man Shen Yu sitting on the sofa, watching the sad-looking Shen Die doing homework.
"No more scribbling, write it properly!" After taking a look at Shen Die's homework, Shen Yu snorted coldly and scolded.
"Grandpa, I understand..." Shen Die wanted to cry but had no tears.
For Chen Die, being at home on vacation is much more terrifying than being at school.
Because if I stay at home during the holidays, I will have to receive training from my grandfather!
Although Shen Yu's training of Shen Die was many times more relaxed than Shen Cheng's, Shen Die was actually even more lazy than Shen Cheng. She was the kind of person who would never stand if she could sit, and would never sit if she could lie down.
"Uh... Grandpa, Happy New Year." Looking at this scene, the corners of Shen Cheng's mouth twitched slightly, but he still stepped forward to wish Shen Yu a happy new year.
The women behind Shen Cheng also came forward to wish Shen Yu a happy new year.
Although the Shen family's rules are quite serious and solemn, there is no such thing as younger generations kneeling and kowtowing to their elders.
I remember when I was a child, during the Chinese New Year, my father's tea friends came to the Shen family and asked the young Shen Cheng to kneel down and kowtow to Shen Yu to wish him a happy new year. The ignorant little Shen Cheng pretended to kneel, but was frightened by Shen Yu's thunderous roar and froze in place. Then Shen Yu scolded Shen Cheng and even Shen Wei.
At that time, the father and son, one older and one younger, were like primary school students who had made a mistake. They stood up straight, lowered their heads, and accepted the scolding obediently.
That was because Shen Wei's tea friends were present, and Shen Yu saved face for Shen Wei, otherwise he would probably have been beaten up.
That was the only time Shen Cheng saw his grandfather so furious.
It was Chinese New Year, and Shen Yu didn't wear his white training suit. Black wasn't suitable either, so he wore a bright red Tang suit, which looked very festive.
"You're back." Hearing the voice, Shen Yu nodded to Shen Cheng first, then glanced at the women behind Shen Cheng, and smiled: "Sit down."
"Brother~" Chen Die looked at Chen Cheng eagerly. Chen Cheng turned his head away, ignored Chen Die, and found a place to sit down.
"Master, what is this, meow?" At this time, Cheese walked forward and handed a red object to Shen Cheng.
“Uh…” Looking at the red envelope handed by Cheese, Shen Cheng was slightly stunned: “Where did this come from?”
"It was given to Cheese by an aunt on the street." Cheese replied.
Sugar, who was standing by, saw this and said, "I received one too."
Then, Shatang also took out a red envelope from his pocket.
The other women also came over, and Shen Cheng realized that they all had a red envelope in their hands, even Lin Yuhui and Wen Yuanyuan were forced to give one.
The villagers were a little too enthusiastic, and it was difficult for Lin Yuhui and the others to refuse.
Seeing this, Shen Cheng suddenly figured it out, and a faint smile appeared on his face.
Maybe the villagers knew that he wouldn't accept red envelopes, so they secretly gave them to Cheese and the others?
