With such a legitimate reason, Director Shen of course welcomed them. Grandpa and Grandma Xu did not stop them. They felt that the second courtyard of the Shen residence was quite spacious and there were many rooms that could accommodate them. Young people liked to have fun together, so they could stay for a few days. The two elders hoped that their descendants would remember each other and always be united and friendly.

The sweet newlywed life of Director Shen and Ms. Xu Zhen was disturbed: three women make a drama, not to mention three girls who are very capable of causing trouble. From the moment they came, they have been making trouble in all kinds of ways, and there has been no peace at home. Director Shen himself was not in any trouble, but he was worried that his beloved wife could not bear it.

Xu Zhen didn't mind, as they were all her nieces and she loved them very much when they were young. Now she could continue to be nice to them, and she was so happy that she couldn't contain her joy.

True family affection can be felt. Xu Yingshuang, Xu Liwen and Xu Mingni soon discovered that Aunt Xu Zhen, who was younger than them, not only looked like their biological aunt, but her friendliness and kindness towards them seemed to come from the heart and was 100% sincere. Most importantly, Shen Yu and Meng Tao's attitude towards their "stepmother" was friendly, natural, respectful and protective, which, together with the recognition of their own grandparents, all indicated one thing - Xu Zhen was very good and deserved to be treated that way.

The three sisters were not unreasonable people. After seeing and feeling it with their own eyes, they let go of their worries and only offered their best wishes.

Fourth cousin Xu Mingni and Meng Tao met for the first time, and they hit it off immediately and got along very well.

Xu Mingni has been doing archaeological work in the field for more than half a year, exposed to wind and rain, and sleeping in the open air. Now that she is back, she does not look tired or haggard, except for her slightly bad skin. She is lively and talkative.

Shen Yu talked to Meng Tao about his cousins ​​and said that Xu Mingni was a chatterbox. It was true, especially when the topic involved her major, she would talk nonstop. If no one interrupted her, she could probably talk all day without getting tired.

But what she said was not nonsense, it was all knowledge points. If time permitted, Meng Tao would be happy to listen to it.

It can be seen that Xu Mingni loves her job very much and is a workaholic.

Meng Tao knew that as an archaeological researcher, he could not do this job or persist without abundant energy, a strong physique, tenacious endurance and profound knowledge.

Xu Mingni was born into a powerful family and could have lived a superior and comfortable life, but she chose to pursue a career in archaeology, which is very admirable.

On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, my eldest cousin Xu Hengkai also returned to the capital. After he found his aunt, he stayed in the south. In order to eliminate the great scourge of the golden shark, he still needed to take advantage of the situation to eliminate the remnants of the evil forces that relied on the golden shark to do evil. The workload was not small.

In addition, based on the clues my aunt wrote on the paper, I took the time to go to a coastal town in person, where my aunt was originally imprisoned, to investigate the widow Mu. Local people testified that Widow Mu had hidden more than five women in her home, who all came and went without a trace, and acted secretively and mysteriously, which was definitely not a good thing.

After interrogating Widow Mu, it was discovered that there were several other people in the town who were also involved in the crime of trafficking in women. They were all arrested and sentenced to heavy penalties.

After finishing his work there, Xu Hengkai did not return to Beijing directly with his colleagues. Instead, he went to Hai City and begged his girlfriend Gu Yingying for support. They waited until Gu Yingying had her annual leave before they both took a bus back to Beijing.

When Xu Hengkai called home before, he already knew that his aunt and uncle would live in the Shen residence after their wedding. Shen Yu and Meng Tao would naturally follow their parents. When he came back from Hai City, he heard that his three sisters had all gone to live in the Shen residence, so he didn't hesitate. After reporting to his grandparents, parents, he took Gu Yingying directly to the Shen residence.

Grandma Xu laughed and scolded her grandchildren, asking why they had grown up and become like children, going wherever there was fun and not wanting to stay at home. They were asking for a beating.

"Go if you like, it's not someone else's house."

Grandpa Xu said cheerfully, "It just so happens that Hengze is back, and he hasn't seen his aunt yet, so let's go over and have a reunion! Big brother's wife, take the chef and the meat and vegetables from home to the Shen residence, and have dinner there. Prepare a few more hearty dishes, and we, father and son, and grandson, can have a few drinks."

Grandma Xu scolded: "Look, you just had a drink at Xia's house last night, and now you're greedy again. You're almost a drunkard."

"Haha, it's New Year's Day and the kids are all home, everyone is happy, don't drink too much, just one or two glasses."

"It's a pity that Aoxue can't go home for the New Year this year. I miss my eldest granddaughter." Grandma Xu sighed.

"Why are you in such a hurry? It's not even New Year's Eve yet."

"Ah? Old man, are you saying that Aoxue can come back to celebrate the festival this year?"

"I didn't say anything - OK, I have to go out and do something, so I'll go there tonight. You guys do what you need to do, and remember to notify Lao Er and Heng Ze and the others to go there early, so as not to keep everyone waiting."

"I know. Please go slower."

Grandma Xu and her aunt smiled at each other, their eyes full of joy: "My eldest granddaughter, my eldest daughter, Aoxue, hasn't been home for the holidays for many years. There are so many happy events at home this year. It's great that she can come back!" After being notified to go to the Shen's house for dinner, everyone else had no objection and said they would arrive before dinner. Xu Hengrui came back from outside and heard from his grandmother that his eldest brother had returned to Beijing and was now at the Shen's house. He immediately rushed to see his eldest brother excitedly.

However, some people were very dissatisfied. Deng Liyun complained about her mother-in-law's unkindness. Uncle Xu couldn't stand his daughter-in-law saying bad things about his own mother, so he defended her and accused her of being ignorant at such an old age. Deng Liyun was very angry, and the couple, who had always been harmonious and had a good relationship, quarreled.

Speaking of which, it was because of Deng Linlin and Wu Hong.

The weather in Beijing has been extremely cold in recent days with heavy snow and strong winds. The conditions of the school dormitory are not as good as those at home. Deng Linlin caught a cold and fell ill. Deng Liyun felt sorry for her niece and took her back to Xu's house. She also asked Wu Hong to go with her because Wu Hong's mother felt relieved to go back to her hometown after seeing that Deng Liyun had arranged a job for Wu Hong and assigned her to a dormitory at the company. It was too cold these two days. Wu Hong called her aunt and cried that the dormitory at the company was like an ice cellar. Deng Liyun simply let Wu Hong move back to Xu's house as well.

After finding out about this, although Grandma Xu was unhappy that her second daughter-in-law ignored her words and acted on her own, she changed her mind and thought that since her grandson and his wife had moved back to the Shen residence, she wouldn't have to worry about Taotao having a conflict with Wu Hong and Deng Linlin. It was such a cold day and Deng Linlin was sick, so she let it go. She didn't bother to argue with the younger generation and wanted to give her second daughter-in-law some face.

But today, Deng Liyun wanted to take Deng Linlin and Wu Hong to the Shen residence, but Grandma Xu would definitely not agree.
