When they came back, Old Lady Shen and Shen Jianlin were carrying baskets of vegetables on their shoulder poles, and the eldest and second sons were not idle either, one holding two chickens and the other carrying a few bottles of wine. Although these things were very heavy for their age, they all cheered up and walked home panting as they thought about Fubao's full-month celebration.
A few people in the village who had just returned from farm work were surprised to see this scene and shouted to the old lady, "Wow! Old lady, you bought so many vegetables, are you going to hold a full moon banquet for your granddaughter?"
Old Madam Shen said happily, "That's right, everyone come over tomorrow to join in the fun, there will be delicious food and good wine to entertain you!"
"Okay!" The villagers responded. After the Shen family walked away, they couldn't help but sigh, "The old Shen family really loves the girl to the core. Before, his four boys didn't get this kind of treatment when they were one month old. Isn't it strange?"
"The Shen family has not had a girl for several generations. Now that we finally have one, how can we not love her? It seems that the little girl is blessed. The whole family loves her so much. We should also benefit from it!"
…
The food and wine are ready, now it's time to entertain the guests.
When Fubao was born, Old Lady Shen had written down all the people who were gossiping outside the courtyard in a small notebook and would never invite them. So she only asked Shen Jianlin to invite some families in the village who he interacted with frequently or met frequently.
In the evening, Old Mrs. Shen held Fubao and helped her try on new clothes.
The little clothes were made by the village tailor. Old Mrs. Shen deliberately added a few cents more to the fee so that he could make it look better and use better material.
Fubao is a very pampered child, and is plump and fair. Wearing this red outfit and the new tiger-head hat and shoes bought in town, he looks just like a lucky doll, so adorable that the whole family wants to hug him and give him a few kisses.
Shen Jianlin's eyes were fixed on Fubao, never moving away for a moment. He smiled until his eyes narrowed into slits, and kept on talking: "My daughter is so pretty. How can she be so pretty? She really looks like me!"
Lin Xiujuan, who was standing next to him, was a little jealous and said with a stern face, "Didn't you say before that he looked like me? Why does he look like you now? Fubao is my child, so of course he looks more like me!"
Shen Jianlin touched the back of his head and chuckled, "Yes, yes... like you. But Fubao is also my daughter, so she will always look a little like me as her father. If Fubao doesn't look like me at all, I will cry."
Lin Xiujuan rolled her eyes at him, "What are you talking about? Are you saying that I found another man?"
"Of course not!" Shen Jianlin immediately apologized with a smile, leaned over and kissed her on the face, "I'm sorry, my wife, I'm not good at talking, please bear with me."
Fubao really wanted to close his eyes and didn't want to watch this scene of dog abuse.
However, her four brothers were now surrounding the cradle, staring at her with great interest. They didn't want her to sleep. Didn't they know that babies get sleepy easily?
"My little sister is so cute!" Shen Zhile grabbed the cradle with both hands, raised her little face and asked Mrs. Shen expectantly, "Grandma, when my little sister grows up, can you let her be my wife?"
Old Madam Shen was stunned for a moment, then she poked him hard on the forehead, smiling and scolding, "Go! How can you do this? You kid, Fubao is your sister, how can a brother marry his sister? Forget this idea."
