After the New Year, they visited relatives from the second to the sixth day of the New Year. It was the first year of Cao Jingheng and Shen Anning's marriage, and this was the busiest time for them in the family. They had to visit and get to know the old friends and relatives of both families at the end of the year.
It was not until the evening of the sixth day of the New Year that the younger generations of the family had time to go out and get together. They didn't bring any of their children with them. There were the Qin cousin and his wife, Shen Anyan and his wife, Cao Jingheng, Shen Anning, four bachelors from the Shen and Peng families, and Shen Anxuan.
There were thirteen of us, and we happened to have requested the largest private room at Xingwei. It was a rare opportunity to get together like this throughout the year. There were no elders or children, and everyone was chatting and laughing together, making the room very lively.
When men get together, they definitely drink. This is a rare opportunity, so no one stopped them. Shen Anning took her sister-in-law and sister to sit at a small table nearby and chat with her cousin's wife and sister.
Hua Yan's business is getting better and better now. Qin Wan and Xiao Chuchu are becoming more and more like career women, and they are confident in their every move.
Qin Wan ate some fruit while keeping an eye on the other table. She asked curiously, "An Ning, I think An Chen seems a little off lately. I've never noticed him drinking so much before."
Shen Anning looked at her sister-in-law and sister and smiled at each other. Who would have thought that her second brother Shen Anchen had such a story.
"He's been pressured to get married by his family lately. I asked Jingheng to talk to him a few days ago. After all, he's almost 30, and my mom is worried. She's given him an ultimatum: if he doesn't find a partner this year, his family will arrange a blind date for him."
"So, he has someone he likes? He loves but can't get her?" Qin Wan was too curious. According to Shen Anchen's looks and abilities, what kind of girl would look down on him?
Shen Anning was also speechless and confused. According to what Cao Jingheng said, her understanding was that two people who had feelings for each other were testing and torturing each other.
"Cousin, you don't know, but my second brother actually had someone in his heart before he joined the army. She was his junior high school classmate. She started studying earlier, so she is two years younger than him and not much older than me. I heard that she is very cool. After graduating from high school, she was admitted to the machinery factory. Later, when the college entrance examination was resumed, she studied mechanical manufacturing at Tsinghua University. Now she is also in the army, a talent of the arsenal.
Last year, my second brother was transferred to this unit, and they met. The girl had been engaged before but then broke off the relationship. I don’t know why.”
Qin Wan opened her mouth wide. This was too surprising. She really didn't expect that her cousin was such a passionate person. He had been a soldier for more than ten years and had always liked someone!
"Then why doesn't he pursue her? It's not like my aunt and uncle would disagree just because the girl broke off an engagement. Oh my God, look at him, he's simply trapped in love!"
Looking at her second brother whose face was flushed from drinking, Shen Anning really didn't know what to say. In her opinion, both of them were just thinking too much.
The meal lasted four hours and we didn’t leave until ten o’clock.
Fortunately, the ladies in the family can drive. Shen Anning felt a little distressed when she saw her second brother being helped out after being drunk. She stepped forward to help support him, "Brother and sister-in-law, you can take An Yu and An Xuan back home. My second brother will stay at my place tonight."
"Okay, then drive carefully on the road, Ningning."
Along the way, the drunk Shen Anchen lying in the back seat kept yelling, "Jingyi, Wang Jingyi, Wang Jingyi you bad guy."
"Wang Jingyi, you have no conscience. You took my first kiss, and now you say you don't want me anymore."
"You clearly said you would only marry me in this life, but you didn't keep your word..."
"How dare you get engaged? I wrote you so many letters. I almost died on the battlefield, and you didn't even bother to care about me."
"Ah, Wang Jingyi, Wang Jingyi, I'm telling you, I'll marry you in this life, bad guy, bad woman, wait until I take you home..."
Fortunately, he was in a good mood. There were not many people on the road so late, and the car was driving quite steadily. Shen Anning really didn't expect to hear such big gossip. Looking at the man with clear eyes beside him, Shen Anning raised his eyebrows and asked in a threatening tone: "That day, when you chatted with the second brother, he told you that little bit."
Compared to what I heard in the car tonight, it’s simply not news!
When Cao Jingheng heard his wife say this, he immediately raised his hand and swore, "Honey, I promise, it's true. He only told me that little bit. He just said that the girl liked him, but that was all she said. She just didn't agree to be with him."
"How would I know he was so good at hiding it? If he hadn't drunk three bottles of Shaoguozi tonight, I think he would still have something to hide."
"Okay, I'll let you go this time."
When they drove back home, their grandparents had already gone to bed. The couple took them to the guest room, which was filled with the stench of alcohol. Shen Anning covered her nose in disgust.
"Hubby, I'll leave Second Brother to you. I'm going to go wash up first. Remember to wash up before you come back. If you still smell of alcohol, you can sleep here with Second Brother tonight."
Looking at his wife who waved goodbye and left decisively, Cao Jingheng resigned himself to his fate and covered Shen Anchen with the quilt. There was a floor heating in the room, so he wouldn't be cold anyway. So let it be, and he would talk about it after everyone woke up tomorrow morning.
He washed himself as quickly as possible, brushed his teeth three times, used soap and shower gel twice, and made sure that there was no smell of alcohol on his body before Cao Jingheng entered the house.
Shen Anning was doing skin care when she saw someone come in, "Huh? Why so fast? Second brother has finished cleaning up. He drank so much, don't you want him to vomit tonight?"
"Hey, I've prepared a bucket for him. It's right next to his bed. Don't worry, my second brother is just drunk, but he's not stupid."
"Wife, kiss, we haven't had sex for several days..."
Slapping the man's hand, Shen Anning's voice was a little unstable when she spoke, "Stop making trouble. You drank so much today, it's not suitable for having a baby."
"I'm telling you, this year, this year I must get pregnant. You better be careful with your cigarettes and alcohol these days. Be careful with yourself."
Looking at his sweet and soft wife, Cao Jingheng felt itchy in his heart. This was the wife who wanted to give birth to a baby for him. The next second after Shen Anning put down the things in her hands, she was picked up. The man's kiss was too overbearing, and his fingertips seemed to be dancing on her body. The pajamas she had just put on were quickly thrown out of the bed curtains one by one.
The light was much weaker when it shone through the bed curtains onto the bed, and the overlapping figures on the wall separated and merged...
Shen Anning collapsed on the man's body, her whole body sore and weak, pinching the soft flesh on the man's waist, and said bitterly: "You sleep alone tomorrow."
Cao Jingheng kissed the little face with a little sweat, then kissed from the forehead to the eyes, and then slowly moved down until it covered the girl's mouth. "Baby, when you get pregnant, your husband will become a monk, so before that, you have to love me well."
"You just have so much strength. The flesh on your husband's waist must be blue. Baby, this is not how you use your strength, do you know..."
The ambiguous atmosphere continued until dawn...
