After the wedding, Shen Heping and Xu Zhen naturally moved back to the Shen residence. Grandma Xu had just found her daughter, but in the blink of an eye she had to marry her off again. She was so sad that she kept crying.

Xu Zhen was reluctant to leave her parents, and wanted to ask her mother to live with her in the Shen residence. However, it was the end of the year, and there were a lot of things going on in the Xu residence every day. Although she had her eldest and second aunts, she also couldn't do without the old lady. Fortunately, the two families were within the same city and not too far away, and it was convenient to travel by car. When Grandma Xu was free, she would come over sooner or later.

Grandpa Xu would come along when he was not busy, nominally to accompany his wife, but in reality he missed his daughter, as well as his son-in-law, eldest grandson, and grandson's wife. He could see them every day when they lived in the Xu Mansion before, but now they all returned to the Shen residence at once, and the Xu Mansion seemed half empty. He was not used to it.

The New Year's goods for the festival this year are basically complete. We didn't go out of our way to purchase them, as most of them were sent back from outside. Shen Yu and Meng Tao sent back more than a dozen large packages and wooden boxes in Guangzhou, and another ten from Mengzhou, Province D. My eldest cousin Xu Aoxue from Province Y also brought back a lot of things, plus the packages sent by relatives and friends from other places... The Xu family hasn't even started preparing yet, but the warehouse is already filled with all kinds of New Year's goods, almost overflowing.

The New Year goods in the Shen residence were naturally moved from the Xu residence. In fact, they were not necessary, as Meng Tao had plenty of specialties in her space. She wanted to sell the goods she had just received from Mengzhou directly, but Shen Yu would not let her and wanted to leave them to that Tang Zhao as an agent.

After attending Director Shen's wedding, Xu Yuting and Liu Jianli bought train tickets to leave Beijing and go home for the New Year. Meng Tao knew that the two were unwilling to carry large bags on the train. The New Year gifts for the Xu and Liu families had already been sent in Mengzhou, so she only gave them a small travel bag, which contained food for the journey. After eating these, they should be home.

Uncle Gao and Aunt Gao didn't go anywhere and stayed at the Shen's house to celebrate the New Year. In this way, the happiest person was Director Shen.

Director Shen was so happy to find his wife that he almost went crazy. He loved his wife to the extreme, and because his wife was still as young as she was in her youth, while he was already in his fifties, although he knew that his wife would not despise him, he still had to try his best to do his best in all aspects.

He is extremely caring and considerate to his wife, a complete wife-spoiler. He wants to treat Xu Zhen like a idol and not let her do any work. He even has to help her wash her face and brush her teeth, such as wringing the towel and squeezing toothpaste. But Xu Zhen really likes his way of doing things. She can't say a word but is gentle and docile and listens to him all the time. The couple is so willful and feeds everyone with dog food every day.

Director Shen was in high spirits. He was happy, but also very busy: since he couldn't let his wife take care of all the big and small things at home, he had to take care of them. His daughter-in-law was pregnant, and his baby grandson was about to be born, but he couldn't order them around.

His son Shen Yu was even less eager to see her. As the New Year was approaching, he was extremely busy at work. He had to leave home early and come back late every day, and they could only see each other during meal times.

So with Uncle Gao and Aunt Gao helping out at home, Director Shen can feel more than just a little more relaxed. He also has time to find ways to be romantic with his wife and rekindle the love they had in the past. His life is so beautiful.

Shen Yu and Meng Tao are still in the newlywed period, so they can withstand the show of affection from their old father and stepmother. After being fed dog food a few times, the other people in the family have also calmed down and returned to normal.

After Director Shen and Xu Zhen got married, Shen Yu and Meng Tao officially changed their name to call Xu Zhen "stepmother".

At first, Director Shen was very unhappy. She was obviously his original wife, Shen Yu's biological mother, so why did she call her stepmother? It was as if he had married a concubine.

But both grandpa and grandma approved of this title. Firstly, Shen Yu and Xu Zhen looked like they were of the same age, so it would be awkward to call her mom directly. Secondly, to outsiders, this marriage was a second marriage, and Xu Zhen was indeed a concubine.

Finally, Xu Zhen nodded in agreement. She believed that she was both the first wife and the second wife, and her son was her own child. It was enough for the family to be reunited. It didn't matter what they were called. She was open-minded and wrote and drew on the notebook to persuade Director Shen. Director Shen thought about it and felt that this was indeed the truth, so he had to give up.

But he always felt that his beloved wife had suffered a loss, and he was more anxious to compensate her. He wished that dog food was flying all over the house. Even Xiao Wangcai couldn't resist it. He would never go to the main house where Director Shen and Xu Zhen lived unless necessary.

Shen Yu couldn't help but occasionally complain behind her back, saying, "It's not like I haven't seen an old man with a young wife, but why do I always feel that Director Shen is like a father? He raises my stepmother as his own daughter, is that okay? If she doesn't do anything, won't she become useless?"

Meng Tao laughed: "That's because he is your father, so no matter how you look at him, he is still your father. I think Director Shen and stepmother are a good match. In fact, in the eyes of outsiders, Director Shen is very attractive. Many young girls in later generations like handsome uncles like him who are mature, stable, rich, prestigious and responsible."

I remember Song Siming in the previous life TV series "Dwelling Narrowness", who once fascinated a large number of female audiences across the country and was named the most handsome uncle.

In her previous life, a 25-year-old female colleague who shared an office with Meng Tao was a slut of Uncle Song Siming. She claimed that if she met Song Siming, she would marry him even if he had to pay her for it.

Meng Tao also thought that Song Siming had a good image, but from the moment he betrayed his family and kept a mistress, his good image collapsed and was destroyed, leaving only scum.

Director Shen is very different from Song Siming. Whether in appearance or in character, Director Shen is ten blocks ahead of Song Siming.

Shen Yu narrowed his eyes dangerously when he heard his young wife describe an old man so well: "You used to like handsome uncles too?"

"I like him," Meng Tao admitted readily, "but I'm unlucky. I haven't met a single handsome guy that I can fall in love with, let alone a handsome uncle."

Shen Yu was satisfied: It's definitely impossible to meet, otherwise what would he do? He hugged his wife and kissed her: "Isn't it? I am the handsome young man you are obsessed with now, and in fifty years, I will be the handsome uncle you like."

Meng Tao: “…”

You are so right, you narcissist.

On the 25th and 26th of the twelfth lunar month, except for cousin Xu, all the other people from the Xu family who worked outside returned to Beijing to prepare for the reunion of the new year.

Xu Yingshuang, Xu Liwen, Xu Mingni, and even Xu Hengze, who seldom had a vacation, had returned from the research institute. When they returned to the Xu Mansion, they heard that Uncle Shen had remarried, and to a girl from the Xu family. She looked very much like their deceased aunt, and their grandparents had adopted her as their goddaughter. Of course, they would not know the secret that Xu Zhen was Xu Jia.

But it was surprising enough, especially for the three cousins ​​of the Xu family. In their minds, Uncle Shen would always be loyal to Aunt Xu Jia and would not remarry, because he had rejected many attempts by well-meaning people to matchmake him, but now he was suddenly getting married without letting them know.

The cousins ​​were curious about what kind of woman Xu Zhen was, and inevitably disappointed with Uncle Shen: it turned out that his image of deep love and affection for many years was all a lie.
