After Shen Yuesheng and Gu Ye's extraordinary operation, all the dilapidated houses in Shenjia Village were renovated and the safety factor increased dramatically.
So nothing big happened in the village. Every household was happily preparing for the New Year. Today is the day before the New Year. All the family members have returned and it is very lively.
At the Shen family, Shen Xuanwen and Shen Xuanwu also returned home from the county machinery factory on holiday. The family sat neatly around the kang, eating roasted sweet potatoes and discussing what to do tomorrow.
The last time Shen Yuesheng put ginseng in the chicken soup, he was discovered by Shen Aiguo and was gently scolded. He looked aggrieved and promised that he would not do it again next time, but Shen Yuesheng thought to himself, "I will put it in again next time."
Shen Aiguo also knew that his little granddaughter was doing this for the good of the family, but that was ginseng, and they had finally found a few plants in the mountains, but they were stewed into soup by Shen Yuesheng, so he felt sorry for her and couldn't help but say a few words.
However, Shen Aiguo regretted it later and quietly apologized to Shen Yuesheng, fearing that other family members would find out.
Shen Yuesheng looked at Shen Aiguo like this, and wanted to laugh in her heart, but she held it back, with a smile on her face.
Shen Yuesheng rarely went out to visit Gu Ye in winter. One reason was that the weather was too cold and Gu Ye was worried about his safety.
Secondly, Gu Ye was busy in the black market during the period approaching the Chinese New Year, as many people were stockpiling New Year goods.
Moreover, the food in Shen Yuesheng's space was very popular in the black market. It was always in short supply and finally became a limited-time sale.
Originally, Shen Yuesheng planned to invite Gu Ye to come home to celebrate the New Year, but Gu Ye said that he had something to do and could not come to the Shen family.
Shen Yuesheng didn't force it, but prepared a lot of things in the space for Shen Yuesheng, some rare medicinal materials, and the medicines she had researched in the warehouse during this period of time, including hemostatic, detoxifying, and body conditioning medicines, of many types.
Gu Ye didn't say where he was going, and Shen Yuesheng didn't ask.
On New Year's Day, the Shen family was very lively. Because the Shen family’s tradition is to have a meal together as a family during the Chinese New Year.
Shen Aiguo was still alive, so the eldest son, Shen Chenshan, and the second son, Shen Qingshan, all came to the main house for dinner. As for aunt Shen Qingling, she called and said she would arrive later.
Shen Yuesheng quietly replaced the chickens, ducks, fish and meat bought from the county with those produced in the space, and also quietly replaced the vegetables and other things.
The Shen family has been drinking the spiritual spring for a long time and will not feel the changes in the water they drink every day, so Shen Yuesheng now directly leads the spiritual spring water to his own water tank and quietly replaces the well water brought back by his father.
The whole family was busy in the kitchen when they suddenly heard a knock on the door. Shen Xuanwen went to open the door and saw his aunt Shen Qingling's family.
“Aunt, uncle, come in quickly.” Shen Xuanwen said with a smile.
Turning around, she shouted into the house, "Grandpa, grandma, my aunt is home."
Zhang Cuihua, who was busy in the kitchen, heard what Shen Xuanwen said, and hurried out of the kitchen. Seeing her daughter standing at the door, she burst into tears: "Qingling! You finally have time to come back this year. You were busy last year and the year before last."
Shen Qingling looked at her mother with red eyes, holding her hands and shaking slightly, and couldn't help but have tears in her eyes: "Mom, I am unfilial and can't come back to see you often."
The mother and daughter hugged each other, and when Shen Aiguo went out, he saw this scene and whispered, “It’s New Year’s Day, a good day for the family to reunite, don’t shed tears, wipe them and go into the house, it’s cold outside.”
But his steps were a little hurried, and he was missing his daughter in his heart.
Shen Qingling looked at her father: "Dad, I'm back." Her eyes were red.
After inviting Shen Qingling's family into the main hall, Shen Yuesheng and Shen Xuanwen greeted Shen Qingling and her husband one by one: "Aunt, Uncle."
At this time, Shen Aiguo spoke: "Shengbao, take your cousin Cheng Xu and cousin Cheng Yan out for a walk. It's a rare occasion for you to come back."
"Okay!" Shen Yuesheng responded sweetly.
Cousin, let me take you out to see the snow. The snow scenery in our village is beautiful.
Shen Yuesheng took Cheng Xu for a walk along the river and looked at the frozen trees. They felt it was very cold outside so they went back home. When they got home, the meal was ready.
It was a rare occasion for the whole family to get together. Several younger generations were present, sitting around two tables in the main house of the Shen family, and the whole evening was spent in a joyous atmosphere.
Finally, when everyone had almost finished eating, Shen Xuanwen announced the news that he was going to get engaged to Ji Qingran. The entire Shen family compound fell silent, but only for a second, and then everyone congratulated him.
At this time, Shen Aiguo coughed: “Have you discussed it with Qingran girl?”
Shen Xuanwen nodded: “Well, we discussed it, and she said she would listen to me.”
You can tell from Shen Xuanwen's tone that he is very happy, but his face is still gentle.
Shen Aiguo: "Let's get engaged first, and then discuss the wedding date or get married directly. Also, what does Qingran's parents mean, and do they have any requirements for you?"
Shen Xuanwen: "Uncle Ji and Aunt Ji should like me very much. As for other details, Dad will have to talk to me when the time comes."
At this time, Shen Jianshan said, "Originally, when you and Qingran confirmed your relationship, your family planned to visit Director Ji, but then it was delayed because of the busy farming season and the heavy snow."
Shen Aiguo: "It's not rude to come to your house now. It's enough for us to show our intentions. We don't need to pay so much attention to it."
Shen Xuanwen: "Uncle Ji and Aunt Ji are both easy-going people, they won't care about those things."
However, Shen Xuanwen paused for a moment, and said in a serious tone: "I want to give a betrothal gift of 666 yuan, and then I want to prepare all the three turns and twelve legs. I value Qingran so I want to give her the best."
