Chapter 465 Feng Shuyan
During the Spring Festival, many people go out, and Sheng Xiping's group, which includes both elderly people and children, definitely needs to be extra careful.
Sheng Xiping was familiar with the people at Songjianghe Station. They told the people on the train, and the conductor had someone take Sheng Xiping and his family directly to some empty sleeper berths.
This side is more spacious and not so crowded. If the elderly and children get tired, they can lie down for a while.
Upon arriving in Hunjiang, Sheng Xiping immediately arranged for a soft sleeper berth, which was spacious and comfortable, though a bit pricey.
Anyway, Sheng Xiping isn't short of money; as long as his parents and children can get some rest, that's all that matters.
In this way, going out is not too painful, and the children can play in the sleeper car without disturbing others.
After playing and making a ruckus, they went to sleep. The soft sleeper was more spacious than the hard sleeper. Sheng Xiping and Zhou Qinglan each slept on the lower bunk with a girl in their arms, while the two rascals slept on the upper bunk.
Sheng Liancheng and his wife slept in the next room with Sheng Xi'an, which was perfect.
After a good night's sleep, Sheng Xiping arrived in the provincial capital the next morning. He first found a hotel to stay in, had a meal, and then called Chen Ruiqing.
Upon learning that Shao Minzhi, Chen Feng, and Chen Yue were all at home, the group carried their belongings and went to the Chen family's house.
"Uncle, Auntie, Happy New Year! Oh dear, you didn't even tell me you were coming. I would have picked you up at the station."
Chen Ruiqing hung up the phone and rushed home, where he ran into Sheng Xiping and the others.
Chen Ruiqing grasped Sheng Liancheng's hand and said warmly, "Come in, come in and sit down." Chen Ruiqing hurriedly invited the Sheng family into the house.
"Wife, Xiaofeng, Yue'er, look who's here!" Chen Ruiqing called out as she took out her keys to open the door.
Chen Ruiqing's new home is in the staff housing of his work unit, and it is about 60 or 70 square meters.
These days, there's no such thing as shared area in apartment buildings; it's all the actual usable area, so it looks quite spacious inside, with a rather large living room.
At that moment, Chen Feng and Chen Yue were sitting in the living room watching TV. When they heard Chen Ruiqing's voice, both children turned their heads to look at the door.
"Grandpa, Grandma?" the two children exclaimed and rushed towards the door.
"Happy New Year, Grandpa and Grandma! Happy New Year, Uncle, Aunt, and Second Uncle!" The two children realized what was happening and quickly wished Sheng Liancheng and his wife a Happy New Year.
"Oh, Happy New Year, all is well. It's only been half a year since I last saw you, and Xiaofeng seems to have grown taller again, and Yue'er is quite tall too. That's wonderful."
Zhang Shuzhen looked at the two children with great joy.
Chen Feng quickly took out his slippers from the cabinet, and everyone changed into their slippers before entering the room.
At that moment, Shao Minzhi, who was busy chopping vegetables in the kitchen, also heard the noise.
"Old Chen, who's here?" Shao Minzhi asked as she peeked outside, only to see the Sheng family.
"Oh my, it's Uncle, Aunt, my brother and sister-in-law here!"
"Hey, let me see! Are these your two daughters? Wow, they've grown so much in the blink of an eye!"
When Shao Minzhi saw the Sheng family, she was both surprised and delighted. She quickly wiped her hands with her apron and went forward to greet everyone.
"Uncle, Auntie, please sit down. Xiaofeng, quickly make some tea."
As she spoke, Shao Minzhi quickly brought the melon seeds, candies, and fruits from under the coffee table onto the coffee table.
The Chen family's living room was quite large, furnished with a corner sofa. As everyone sat down, Chen Feng brought over a teapot and teacups and poured tea for them.
Only then did Chen Ruiqing have time to inquire about the purpose of the Sheng family's visit to the provincial capital.
These days, tourism isn't popular anymore. Unless it's something important, very few people will take their parents and children on a long trip.
"Oh, it's our second son. He's dating someone in Harbin, and my parents are going to meet her parents."
"We're just a few people who came out to have some fun," Sheng Xiping explained with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Chen Ruiqing was both surprised and delighted. "Oh my, Xi'an has a boyfriend?"
That's wonderful. They're all about to settle down and start their own families. My uncle and aunt can finally enjoy their retirement.
"By the way, has Xikang's wedding date been set yet? Don't forget to let me know in advance; I absolutely have to attend the wedding banquet."
Given the relationship between the Chen and Sheng families, Chen Ruiqing will have to attend all the weddings of the Sheng family's children in the future, bringing gifts and drinks.
"Probably in June, but the exact date hasn't been set yet. I'll let you know when it's time," Sheng Xiping replied.
Since the Sheng family rarely comes to the provincial capital, Chen Ruiqing and his wife will definitely treat them well.
Living in an apartment building is not as convenient as living in a bungalow. Besides, everyone wants to chat for a while longer. Cooking and other chores are too busy and don't leave time for proper conversation.
So Chen Ruiqing told Chen Feng to go downstairs, find a restaurant nearby, reserve a large private room, and order the food in advance so they could eat there later.
In this way, there's no need to do anything at home, and everyone can sit down and chat peacefully.
Chen Yue liked the two little sisters very much, so she took Xin Yue and Xin Qi to her room to play.
Chen Yue had many dolls in her room, and the two little girls liked them and played with Chen Yue quite well.
After Chen Feng finished ordering the food, he took Xinhua and Xinyu to his room to play, leaving space for the adults to talk and chat.
Around four o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Ruiqing saw that it was about time, so he led the two families to the restaurant.
Since the Sheng family rarely comes to the provincial capital, Chen Ruiqing and his wife naturally want to treat them well. Chen Feng ordered eight dishes, and Chen Ruiqing added two more when they arrived, and then ordered wine and soda.
The dishes are all ordered in advance, and they are served immediately upon the arrival of the guests, and are all served in a short time.
Chen Ruiqing poured wine for Sheng Liancheng and his son, and the group ate and chatted.
Sheng Liancheng is getting old and can't drink too much. Sheng Xi'an's alcohol tolerance is average; he gets red-faced after just a few drinks. So Chen Ruiqing and Sheng Xiping chatted and drank together.
