…
When Shen Qingli woke up, it was already past five in the afternoon. There was still a hint of afterglow of the setting sun shining into the room. The guests had all eaten and drunk their fill and gone home. It was very quiet for a while.
In this strange room, with Meng Xiao, the only familiar person, not around, Shen Qingli felt a little dazed and lonely. Maybe this is the case for everyone who wakes up in the evening, feeling like being abandoned by the whole world.
Meng Xiao pushed the door open and saw his little girl sitting on the bed with her arms around herself, looking pitiful.
My heart felt like it was being squeezed tightly. I walked over and sat beside her, then spoke softly:
"Qingqing. Awake?"
Shen Qingli snuggled into his arms.
"Meng Xiao, I'm hungry."
"Let's go have dinner, okay? My second uncle and his family are here too. I'll introduce you to some people." He kissed her forehead and softly coaxed his little girl.
"Okay, but I haven't prepared a gift for my second uncle yet. Tell me who will be having dinner with us."
In the dining room, before the meal started, Mr. Meng saw his grandson and his wife coming together, and his old face was filled with a smile that showed his teeth.
"Grandpa." Shen Qingli greeted the old man sitting in the main seat.
"Hey! Good boy, come here to grandpa." He took out a red envelope from his pocket and handed it to Shen Qingli.
"Thank you, Grandpa."
Shen Qingli didn't refuse. Whether it was a meeting gift or a change of heart fee, it was a tradition passed down from our ancestors. There was no need to refuse.
"Here, Qingli, take it. It belongs to your father and me."
"Thank you, Mom, and thank you, Dad." Shen Qingli took the red envelope handed over by her mother-in-law Ye Qiu.
Then there is a series of
"Thank you, sister."
"Thank you, Uncle and Aunt."
For a little money-lover, receiving red envelopes is simply the happiest thing. Shen Qingli laughed even happier!
After receiving the red envelopes, Shen Qingli started giving out gifts.
He took a box from Meng Xiao's hand, opened it and handed it to Grandpa Meng: "Grandpa, this is a thermos cup for you. The hot water can keep warm even after a day. You can also separate the tea and water into tea leaves, so you don't have to drink a mouthful of tea foam. We don't have it in the mainland yet. My uncle bought it from a foreign businessman in Xiangcheng and sent it back.
You and your father and uncle each have one, so when it gets cold tomorrow, you can go for a walk and have a drink of hot water wherever you go."
Meng Xiao reached out and handed the other two to his father Meng Jianjun and second uncle Meng Jianye.
The three of them held it in their hands and looked at it again and again. This thermos cup looks much better than the enamel pot, and its main function is good! It looks expensive!
"Mom, Second Aunt, this is a double-sided embroidered pure wool scarf that can also be used as a shawl. Open it and see if you like it."
Meng's mother, Ye Qiu, loves beauty herself, so this wonderful thing touched her heart. "I love it. It's so beautiful. Qingli, thank you. I won't be polite to you anymore."
Second Aunt Meng was a simple woman, and she refused to accept it. She waved her hands repeatedly: "Brother Xiao, my daughter-in-law, this is too expensive. I appreciate the gift, but I really can't accept it."
Shen Qingli took it out and draped it over Second Aunt's shoulders: "Second Aunt, please keep it. This is a little gift from Meng Xiao and me. Look how beautiful it is. If you don't want my gift, I will think that Second Aunt doesn't like me, the new daughter-in-law."
Shen Qingli's tone was low, the corner of his mouth curled up, and his eyebrows knitted together on his delicate face.
Like a small bitter melon.
"Keep it. If you don't, the child will cry." Uncle Meng spoke gently to his wife.
"Okay then. I'll take it. Thank you, Qingli. Second Aunt likes it very much."
Shen Qingli's bitter face suddenly relaxed.
He walked up to Meng Ning and waved to Meng Kexin: "Kexin, come here."
Meng Kexin particularly likes this sister-in-law of the same age. She is beautiful and elegant, speaks softly, has a pleasant voice, is a good person, and is generous...
In short, she is now Shen Qingli's little fan girl, and feels that Shen Qingli is good in every way.
"What's wrong, sister-in-law?"
Shen Qingli took the two handbags from Meng Xiao and said, "This is for you two. I made my own skin care products. I wrote the instructions on the bottle. This set has the effect of rejuvenating and whitening the skin. I use it myself."
Meng Ning and Meng Kexin simply couldn't let it go. Women of all ages and eras love beauty! Who doesn't want to be beautiful? "Thank you, sister-in-law, I like it very much."
"Thank you, sister-in-law! I like it too!"
"Okay, let's eat."
The head of the family, Mr. Meng, spoke and everyone took their seats.
The Meng family did not have the rule of not talking while eating or sleeping. During the meal, Meng Kexin sat next to Shen Qingli, picking up food for Shen Qingli, chattering away, and wanting to say a few more words to her dear and beautiful sister-in-law whenever she had the chance.
This caused Meng Xiao to glare at her several times.
After dinner, the newlyweds walked slowly, hand in hand, back inside, turned on the light, and took out their red envelopes one by one. Grandpa Meng gave two hundred. My father-in-law and mother-in-law gave a total of one thousand. My second uncle and aunt each gave one hundred. Meng Ning gave two hundred.
"My mother is the richest in our family. Although my father is the principal of the Army Academy, he also gets a fixed salary of about 100 yuan per month.
Although my grandparents are no longer with us, they left some property to my mother. My mother used to be in an art troupe, but she retired due to injury a few years ago.
My second uncle was the captain of the transport team, and my second aunt was a match factory worker. Two hundred was a lot, probably two months' salary. They had a son, a year younger than me, stationed in the navy in the south and hadn't been home for several years.
You met our youngest daughter Meng Kexin today.
Kexin is a nice person with a good nature. If you like, you can go out more often.
