On the first day of New Year's Eve, Shen Feng and Shen Yu rushed back from the port city, and Shen Lei also returned from leave in the army. All six members of the Shen family were present, and they sat together in a happy atmosphere, but there was also a bit of awkward confrontation.
"Afeng, Ayu, why do you keep staring at me?"
Wen Maidong had a smile on his face and squinted his eyes like a fox, as if he was staring at people and plotting something bad in the dark.
"Don't you understand? Stop playing dumb." Chen Yu was furious. Ever since he guessed that Wen Maidong was behind this, Chen Yu was filled with anger.
They didn't get home until the 29th of the lunar year, and upon arrival, they were jointly scolded by their parents. Feeling extremely aggrieved, Chen Yu couldn't help but want to beat up Wen Maidong, the culprit. Don't let him get the chance, otherwise, he'll definitely be punished. Don't treat them like sick cats!
"What do you mean by playing dumb?" Wen Maidong remained calm, sitting quietly on the platform, watching the group of people accusing him.
Haha, do you have any evidence? If you don't have any evidence, then stop whining and complaining. You have no sense at all.
"Hehe...boy, if you have the guts, don't let us catch you."
Otherwise, I must teach this kid a lesson. Don't think they don't remember everything that happened. Wen Maidong's ability to cheat people is getting better and better, especially at his hands, I really suffered a lot.
However, he had a fatal weakness: Niuniu. With his younger sister around, they didn't believe Wen Maidong could gain any advantage. From now on, they had to trick this old fox, Wen Maidong, in front of his younger sister. With his cunning and calculating deception, it was easy to fall into his trap without realizing it, so they had to remain vigilant at all times.
"Really? Well, you better be careful."
Wen Maidong's calm demeanor might fool many, but Shen Feng and Shen Yu absolutely didn't believe him and naturally couldn't be fooled. Who doesn't know who? This pattern of behavior is all too familiar.
"snort……"
With a cold snort, everyone turned their heads away, looking at each other with disgust. If it weren't for the New Year, they would have met at the door and had a sparring match to vent their hatred.
"My home has changed so much. When I first arrived, I couldn't believe it. Is this our village?"
Chen Lei leaned over to his sister and spoke of his shock. He hadn't been home for a few years, and everything had changed so completely that he almost couldn't find his home. Luckily, he'd run into his uncle and his family, otherwise he wouldn't have known where his home was. Everyone built the same houses, making it hard to tell whose was whose.
"Haha...the feeling we had when we came back last time was exactly the same as yours, second brother. We were completely confused and couldn't find our home." Shen Yun said with a smile. He had the same expression and feeling as his second brother when he came back for the first time.
"Oh...it's changed so much."
Chen Lei was filled with emotion. The changes in his family were so great that he almost couldn't believe his eyes. Dad was really amazing. He was indeed the person he admired most.
"Brother, what's the military camp like? Are you tired from training? I've checked your body, and it's pretty good, but you still need to recuperate at home this time. Too much training intensity will always leave some hidden injuries."
It wasn't obvious, but it was enough to cause suffering in the future. Chen Yun naturally didn't want his brother to suffer from illness in his old age. So, during the New Year holiday, it was time to take care of his brother's health. The eldest and third brothers had already recovered, leaving only the second brother.
"Okay, I'll leave my brother's body to you."
Chen Lei readily agreed, completely confident in his sister's abilities. It was a family consensus that his sister's medical skills surpassed those of Old Man Wen. Even though his sister was young, her skills and experience were no less impressive than those of an experienced Chinese doctor.
"Well, okay. We can start tonight. Coincidentally, I also brought home some of the herbs I'll need during this time."
"Okay, okay, okay, everything is up to you."
Chen Lei rubbed his sister's head lovingly, expressing his gratitude. Family members didn't need to say thank you; simply remembering the thought was enough. From now on, if his sister needed anything, he would definitely not hesitate. He would go through fire and water for her.
"You two should stop hiding and talking nonsense. Come here and make dumplings."
"That's right! The dumpling wrappers are all ready."
"Hurry up, the meat filling is ready."
Shen Feng and Shen Yu saw the two people hiding in the corner and couldn't help but yelled in jealousy. The second child couldn't just monopolize his sister like this. Although he hadn't seen his sister for a long time, they were still the same, having not seen his sister for the same amount of time.
"I know...don't urge me like I'm summoning a soul."
"It's coming... It's coming..." Chen Lei threw the rag in his hand and muttered to himself.
“Come and make dumplings.”
As he tucked the apron around his tall, burly brother, Chen Feng couldn't help but laugh. The pink apron against his brother's figure was simply... an eyesore. He felt like he should go find his sister to cleanse his eyes; he couldn't bear to watch it any longer.
"puff……】"
On the other side, Shen Yun turned around and saw this scene, and he spit out the milk tea he had just drunk. It was so eye-catching...
"Afeng, could you please not do this?"
Wen Maidong couldn't help wanting to close his eyes. It was really painful to watch, and his stomach was twitching.
"Hahaha……"
The others couldn't help but burst into laughter. Chen Lei rubbed his head and looked around in confusion. What happened? Is it really that funny? A look of bewilderment was written all over his face.
"Okay, stop messing around. Hurry up and make the dumplings for me. The water is already boiling, just waiting for the dumplings to be put into the pot."
Miao Guihua walked out of the kitchen and glared at the noisy kids. "Hurry up and get to work! Don't even think about slacking off. Only Niuniu can be lazy in their family. Everyone else, stand aside." "You're so partial, so overbearing. So what? If you have any complaints, just keep them to yourself."
"knew……"
The three people who were being scolded all envied Wen Maidong who was leisurely watching TV on the sofa. It was really infuriating.
Wen Maidong and Shen Yun were discussing their plans for the evening. Staying home to celebrate the New Year's Eve? They couldn't sit still with so many people. Playing cards was boring, so why not go out for a walk? After all, there was a shopping street right outside their home, making it as convenient as being in the city, and most importantly, not too crowded.
"I heard there will be fireworks tonight. Do you want to watch it?"
"Well, of course I want to see it."
Chen Yun's eyes lit up. He hadn't expected the villagers to spend so much money on fireworks this time. Perhaps it was because of the bonuses they had made, everyone's pockets were bulging, so naturally they became more generous.
