With Cao Jingheng around, it was much easier for Shen Anning to get things home. Whenever someone at home asked, her answer would be, "I don't know where you bought it, Cao Jingheng brought it here."
The Shen family would not think too much about it. The Cao family had many connections, so it was normal for them to get some rare things. Originally, Shen's mother thought it was not good. After all, it was just an engagement, and they gave away sheep, pigs, chickens, ducks, fish and meat, as well as special wine and chocolate, which were not cheap.
However, after she learned that Cao Jingheng had already given the money to his daughter, she gave up. In terms of money, ten Shen families could not compare with the Cao family's wealth. Anyway, the Cao family only had Cao Jingheng as a child, and the two families would be one family in the future.
On New Year's Eve, Shen Anchen was unable to return, but everyone's mood was not affected at all. They ate and drank as usual. The dishes on the table were even more abundant than last year. Everyone was talking and laughing, and it was very lively.
Chen Ziyi is almost half a year old, and he has grown into a chubby boy. He sits in his own special chair, waiting to eat his small half bowl of pumpkin rice porridge. There are many delicious dishes on the table.
Unfortunately, he was sitting a little far away from the table. After screaming for a long time, his fingers were still a little short of the edge of the table.
After struggling for a long time, his face turned red. Shen Anning looked at him with emotion. They were really siblings. This boy was exactly the same as her sister when they were young. They were both so obsessed with food.
Shen Zixi felt distressed when she saw her silly brother. After she finished chewing the ribs in her mouth, her mother brought over the prepared rice porridge. The little girl stretched out her hand and said, "Mom, mom, can I feed my brother?"
Liu Manxue smiled and found a piece of cloth to put on the baby table. "Sure, here's the bowl. Be careful, your little brother is starting to teethe."
Shen Zixi was seen standing in front of the chair, blocking the little guy's sight, scooping up a spoonful of rice paste and blowing on it, coaxing: "Erbao, we don't want to eat it if we can't see it. Smell this rice paste, hmm, it smells really good, doesn't it?"
He was really hungry, so Shen Ziyi was not picky. He ate it eagerly after feeding it to his mouth, and then opened his mouth and waited. He ate with great relish!
After dinner, my uncle, my father Shen, and my uncle-in-law took over the cleaning work.
Shen Anning watched them chatting and laughing as they tidied the table, put away the dishes, and swept the floor... Thinking of the sour words she had heard when she lived in the compound a long time ago, she suddenly missed her fiancé.
After receiving the lucky money from the elders, the family sat in the living room, drinking tea and chatting while digesting the food.
When talking about the things she was going to prepare for her sister-in-law to take back to her parents' home on the second day of the Lunar New Year, her sister-in-law Shen Yipei suddenly said, "The homes of the three of us are our parents' home, and our parents' home is also our home."
A few people looked at each other and laughed loudly.
Isn't it true? Grandma Shen now has only one relative abroad. Her aunt Lin Junqi is the adopted daughter of the Shen family. Her mother Qin Shuni's family is also abroad. Her uncle's relatives all passed away during the war years. When her aunt got married, there were only two people in the family.
As they were talking, several people looked at Shen Anning. Wow, the family that the first daughter of the Shen family will marry into in the future will also have a simple population.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the eldest brother and his wife took Xixi and Erbao back to her parents' home. Cao Jingheng and grandparents came to the Shen family to pay New Year's greetings. He brought two pork legs, two lamb legs, a box of Maotai, and a box of Fenjiu. He didn't ask anyone for help. He ran two trips to put the things in place by himself. The more Mother Shen looked at him, the more she thought this son-in-law was a good one.
The elders were chatting and they couldn't get a word in, so Shen Anning took Cao Jingheng back to the room, looked at the thing in his hand, and asked: "What is this?"
"Why don't you take a guess?"
Seeing his malicious smile, Shen Anning didn't want to join in the conversation. Her intuition told her that the box might not contain anything good.
Pulling Shen Anning over and kissing her, Cao Jingheng opened the box. Shen Anning took a look and blushed with shame. She quickly closed the box and asked, "Why did you buy this?"
Cao Jingheng sat on the bed, feeling a little embarrassed. He explained in a low voice, "Isn't this what I saw you wearing before? A few days ago, colleagues from the Inspection Department confiscated a batch of videotapes. There was a businessman in the yard who was afraid that he would be investigated for selling this kind of underwear, so he took the initiative to confess."
"You know, the men in our police station are very good to their wives and partners. I heard that women will feel more comfortable wearing this kind of underwear. I, I went to pick out two sets for you."
When Shen Anning heard this, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with it, "Well, this was bought in a normal transaction, right?"
"Yeah, of course, selling this isn't illegal. The reason for the videotape is... Anyway, this kind of underwear is allowed. I heard that people in Shanghai wear this kind of underwear."
Shen An Ning picked it up and took a look. She had to say that the man had good taste. It was light yellow, pink, and had patterns of flowers and butterflies. It was the kind with sponge padding, which was indeed more comfortable to wear.
It was indeed reform and opening up. I didn’t expect that the market would be so open just as we entered the 1980s.
Thinking of Shen Ma and An Xuan at home, Shen An Ning finally realized what she had forgotten, "Hey, do you still have this? Where does the clothes seller live?"
Cao Jingheng stroked his short hair, as if he was a little embarrassed to say what happened. "Um, the boss said he only bought 100 pieces, but now they are all sold out. The next batch will arrive in about ten days."
Shen Anning held her stomach with her hands while laughing. These people in the police station were really funny. They went to investigate an illegal videotape and even boosted the market.
Cao Jingheng looked at Shen Anning who was laughing so hard, and pulled her over to sit on his lap, "Laugh again, and I'll make you change into it and show me."
Shen Anning’s laughter stopped abruptly.
. . . . . .
Cao Jingheng felt a little embarrassed and was about to say something when the girl suddenly hugged him.
Sometimes Shen An Ning really felt that it was not only the man who was tortured. The two of them had a good relationship and often became emotional while kissing. This was the most normal thing, especially since Geng Yue had given her condoms after she got engaged... Married women really know more!
Ten minutes later.
After tidying up his messy clothes, Shen Anning went to fetch water to wash his hands, leaving Cao Jingheng lying on the bed, looking at the ceiling and doubting his life.
The young couple who took a deeper breakthrough seemed to become even more embarrassed. After washing her hands, Shen Anning came back and didn't know how to face the man's eyes. After all, she had lived an extra life, and she "had seen pigs run even if she hadn't eaten pork."
"that..."
"An Ning, don't say anything. I... this must be the first time, you know that..." Cao Jingheng couldn't go on. He remembered what his comrades said when he was in the army. Ten minutes was really too short. He was afraid that his wife would dislike him, wuwuwu. . . .
