Chapter 441 Getting Better
When the whole family was exiled, she insisted on becoming the pillar of the family; on the road to exile, Qian Jie'er gradually became the backbone of the family. She was happy but also deeply worried; when they arrived in northern Hubei, everything was different from what they had expected, but they still survived.
To this day, although they are still fugitives, the life they lead is completely different from that of Wu Laoliu and others in the opposite yard.
Apart from some things that must be bought, the entire Huanxiyuan is self-sufficient in food and daily necessities, and can also earn money quietly, making life less difficult for everyone.
"Everyone has worked hard this year. I don't want to say anything else. I hope our family will live better and better next year!" Mrs. Wu picked up the rice wine glass and said to everyone.
Shen Qingqian and the others all stood up and raised the cups in front of them.
“It keeps getting better!”
Everyone was either excited or emotional, and had different ideas, but they all hoped that they could live a better life in the new year.
Shen Qingning was young, and at this moment she said playfully, "Aunt, we have Sixth Sister here at home, and our lives will definitely get better and better. Anyway, I have made up my mind to follow her forever, so don't fight with me for her."
"Fifth sister, this is not right. Who among us sisters doesn't want to follow Sixth sister? You should at least leave some room for us." Shen Qingman joked.
Shen Qingxiao covered his mouth, his eyes full of hope for the future. "That's right, Fifth Sister, you can only hang on to Sixth Sister's arm at most. The remaining arm, two legs, and neck will all be left to us."
Shen Qingyu, who was drinking rice wine, choked when she heard this and almost spit out a mouthful of rice wine. She laughed so hard that tears came out and echoed, "Ahem, Third Sister, I'll give you Sixth Sister's neck. I'll just hold her legs."
Shen Qingqian was left in a state of confusion by her sisters' words. She pretended to be distressed and raised her arms to look at them. Then, she said regretfully to the sisters around her, "Sisters, I'm so sorry. My arms and legs are so thin that I really can't let you hold me!"
"Hahahaha" Wu and others couldn't hold back any longer and burst into laughter.
The meal lasted for more than an hour in such an atmosphere and ended with Shen Yong's funny behavior.
After the Jiayu tribe sent people to negotiate, Shen Jun and his companions were released and sent back home. Only Shen Yong, who had volunteered to join the army, had become a member of the Hubei Northern Army. However, due to his status as a fugitive, he could only be a low-level soldier. Unless he made great contributions, it would be difficult for him to be promoted.
The women quickly cleaned up the main room, and the men placed the tables and chairs in the corners, leaving the middle space for the children to play.
After finishing the chores, the whole family gathered in the main room, chatting and laughing while eating chestnuts collected earlier in the mountains and melon seeds and peanuts bought a few days ago.
"Sister Man, go get some more chestnuts. I see everyone likes them. Let's roast some more and share them with your Grandma Chen and the others later." Mrs. Wu said to Shen Qingman.
Shen Qingman stood up after hearing this and said, "Okay, mother, I'll go right away."
Their family now uses only coal, which makes it convenient to roast anything and they don't have to save it. After all, the Hubei Northern Army had promised that the Shen family could use unlimited coal.
Sheng Ze and Shen Xiao sat together, forming a circle with a small coal stove in the middle. Water was warming on the stove, and the Shen brothers and Ling Yun were exchanging their recent experiences.
Shen Qingqian was with her sisters, and she didn't know how it happened, but from where she was sitting, she was looking right at Sheng Ze, and she couldn't avoid him unless she kept her head down.
"Sixth sister, why do you always keep your head down?" Shen Qingning suddenly asked, blinking her big eyes.
Shen Qingqian: "You really are my sister!"
"There should be another chapter, but it won't be until after 12 o'clock."
