After lunch at noon, the three brothers took their wives and children to visit Grandpa Shen.
Originally, we should have brought the old man back to live with us on New Year's Eve, but the temperature at home is not as warm as in a nursing home, and we were afraid that the old man's health would be affected if we had to move him back and forth.
Just as I was at the entrance of the nursing home, I happened to meet my aunt Shen Hongyan who came with her children to wish the old man a happy new year. Shen Bai looked behind her with a subtle expression: "Aunt, my second uncle's family didn't come?"
Although I'm having a falling out with my second uncle's family now, wouldn't it be too much if I didn't even come to celebrate the New Year?
Shen Hongyan shook her head: "I know that I haven't been to my second brother's house since Huanhuan got married."
Speaking of Uncle Shen's family, she had a sad look on her face, it was a mess, even if it was her own second brother, she wanted to take care of it. After all, if you step out, people will definitely scold you for meddling in other people's business.
Shen Wufei usually stayed in the army, and only knew that there was a lot of trouble this time because of the house, and he didn't know how the people from Shen Huan's in-laws made trouble.
Shen Subai turned around and said, "Don't mention their affairs when you see Grandpa later."
Mr. Shen was not lying on the bed at this moment. He was standing in front of the table writing calligraphy. He looked very imposing and arrogant.
Xie Yunshu originally wanted to praise the two old men for their good handwriting, but when he leaned over to take a look, his face became a little stiff. He only saw four words written on the back: Serve the country with loyalty. It was very meaningful, and the handwriting was really...
Well, it can be said to be a black mass, and you can barely make out these four words.
Others were surprised. Shen Subai even changed his expression and praised him: "Grandpa's handwriting is majestic and powerful. It looks much better than last year."
Shen Bai and Shen Wufei both secretly glanced at him. It was no wonder that the third brother was able to get the Siheyuan. Such a thick face was not something that anyone could have...
But Mr. Shen just fell for it. He put his brush aside and laughed a few times: "Are you here to ask me for red envelopes on New Year's Day? Line up and come one by one."
The first to receive the red envelopes were naturally the children. Xixi held the red envelopes and shouted crisply, "Grandpa, Happy New Year!"
Mr. Shen always spoke to the little girl in the same tone. He stroked her pigtails and said, "Xixi is the best!"
Li Chuchu felt a little elated. She was severely punished by Shen Wufei yesterday, but she also understood one thing, that is, he really did not despise her for only having a daughter. Whether it was from her mother-in-law or from the old man, she was the only girl in the Shen family, so she received more preferential treatment.
She secretly glanced at Xie Yunshu's belly, and even began to hope that it would be nice for Xie Yunshu to give birth to a boy...
She would be as open-minded as Second Aunt Shen!
The last person to receive the red envelope was Xie Yunshu. Master Shen glanced at Chen Jingxue and Li Chuchu and said, "Yunshu is the new daughter-in-law this year, so don't be picky about it."
Chen Jingxue covered her mouth and smiled: "Grandpa, this is what we should do. Why should we care about this?"
In the first year after Li Chuchu got married, she received more red envelopes than her elder sister-in-law, so she naturally wouldn't care about this little money.
Xie Yunshu pinched the red envelope, which was obviously thicker than the ones given by the eldest and second sisters-in-law. She said auspicious words sweetly: "Thank you, Grandpa. Happy New Year!"
The atmosphere here was very harmonious for a while, and no one mentioned Uncle Shen's family, and even the old man didn't ask about Shen Huan.
They said they were leaving in the afternoon, but when they were leaving the house, they ran into Second Uncle Shen. He only brought Shen Le with him, and Second Aunt Shen and Shen Huan did not follow.
Uncle Shen looked at the few people, his smile looked a little haggard: "Are you here to see grandpa?"
Shen Hongyan couldn't help but frown: "Second brother, this year is the first day of the new year, and the second sister-in-law and Shen Huan are here to wish father a happy new year?"
This temper is really too big. Apart from the courtyard house, the old man is a little partial. He has absolutely fulfilled his responsibilities as a father to my second brother's family over the years.
Uncle Shen moved his lips and spoke after a while: "She wanted to come. Something happened to Huanhuan..."
Chen Huan was hospitalized for pregnancy protection some time ago, how could something happen again?
The faces of the three brothers Shen and Bai darkened slightly, but no one took the initiative to ask what was going on. Even Li Chuchu, who usually talked a lot, remained silent.
Finally, Shen Hongyan asked him, "What happened to Huanhuan?"
Uncle Shen's eyes were red, but he always complained during the New Year, so he forced a smile and said, "It's not a big deal. It's just that the couple had a quarrel, and Huanhuan is pregnant... I'll explain it to our dad later."
A few days ago, Chen Huan and Zhao Youan finally got a house. The two-bedroom, one-living room house was small, but at least it was enough for the couple and their children. Second Aunt Shen finally felt proud and asked Chen Huan to move in.
As for the apartment that was originally rented, I will return it to Shen Subai after the Chinese New Year when Zhao Youan's family leaves!
It was the night we moved to the new house, and Zhao Yujiao also came over. Her reason was very simple: "My eldest brother and his family live there, and my mother and I can sleep well together. Your house here is empty anyway, so why not let me stay for a few days."
Chen Huan was naturally happy: "Okay!"
She knew what kind of person this sister-in-law was. If she let her live in, how would she survive in the future?
Zhao Youan glanced at Zhao Yujiao and softened his voice to coax her: "Huanhuan, if you are willing to let my mother take care of you, then let Jiaojiao come! I promise that she will listen to you this time. Let her stay for two days and try. If she does something that satisfies you, let her go back immediately, okay?"
Zhao Yujiao nodded quickly: "Sister-in-law, I will help you wash clothes and cook."
Shen Huan had just quarreled with Zhao Youan's family some time ago, and he didn't want to quarrel with him again because of Zhao Yujiao, so he gave in: "Well, if she makes me angry, she must go back immediately!"
What she didn't expect was that this time Zhao Yujiao actually held her temper. She was diligent in doing laundry and cooking at home, but she would never take her things.
Shen Huan was satisfied, so she didn't mention asking Zhao Yujiao to move out, but she never thought that this would become the thing she regretted the most.
On New Year's Eve, Chen Huan and Zhao Youan went back to her parents' home to celebrate the New Year, but Zhao Yujiao did not go home, under the pretext of staying to look after the house.
That night, Zhao Yujiao caused trouble again, which made Shen Huan, who had just returned from her parents' home, quarrel with Zhao Youan. That night, she drove Zhao Yujiao away.
Zhao Yujiao had been serving her for the past two days and was unwilling to leave. In the middle of the night, she moved her mother and eldest brother's family over.
The bank's family compound that had just been occupied was suddenly in chaos.
