Han Dongdong, Yan Baozhi and Lu Hongmei came over and surrounded Gu Yingying, chattering about bringing in more barbecue as they would have dinner soon. The chef had already prepared a large table of delicious dishes. Everyone in the room looked at them with envy, but they did not forget about the barbecue outside, so they sent their minions out.
Shen Yu walked into the room and locked onto Meng Tao's sight, frowning: Why is it that fellow Yan Xinhua again? He always follows his wife around for no reason. Xia Yufeng and Meng Zhehan are also beside them. The two of them are concentrating on helping with the work, but Yan Xinhua is chattering on and on, making Tao Tao laugh.
Shen Yu walked over and held Meng Tao's shoulders: "Take a break, there are so many people, let them do it."
Xia Yufeng looked up at Shen Mingyu and adjusted his glasses: "Haven't I been doing it all along?"
Yan Xinhua was dissatisfied: "Am I not a human being? We are busy here, but where are you going to relax?"
Shen Yu glanced at him and said: Are you a human? I think you look like a colorful magpie.
Meng Zhehan was cutting radishes seriously with his head down. His sister taught him a trick. As he was cutting, he picked up the radish and it became a radish dragon. It was quite interesting.
Meng Tao rubbed her head against Shen Yu's shoulder and said with a smile, "I have to prepare the sauce myself. It's an exclusive secret recipe passed down from my ancestors. I can't teach it all to others. My cousin and her friends were helping here just now, but unfortunately their cooking and knife skills are not up to par. So my brother and these two gentlemen took the initiative to take over. After a little training, they did a great job."
"If you want to talk about talent, look at mine, it's so beautiful!" Yan Xinhua proudly showed off a bowl of hot and sour mung bean vermicelli he had just mixed. The colors were emerald green, bright red and white, and the combination of colors was very nice.
"So much?" Shen Yu looked at the five or six pots of cold vegetables on the table. Among them, the fresh cucumbers, lettuce, water spinach, celery, radish and cabbage were not all produced in the space, but grown in the glass greenhouse.
The Xu family has a glass greenhouse, where precious flowers are moved in to be raised in the winter. Meng Tao and Shen Yu also built a glass greenhouse in the Shen residence, growing flowers and vegetables. This way, it would not be surprising if the family could often eat fresh and delicious vegetables.
Meng Tao spread her hands and said, "This is the third batch. They eat everything up as soon as they are mixed. Everyone likes it. Look, they are still eating it over there. We are not allowed to eat these after they are mixed. They said to pack them up and take some back home for their families to try."
Shen Yu: "You go sit over there, I'll come."
"For the last bit, let's go together after we finish it. There's nothing else to do. In fact, we're telling jokes here."
"What's the joke?"
When Shen Yu asked, Meng Tao couldn't help but giggle again and pointed at Yan Xinhua: "He said that he wants to date one of our sisters."
Yan Xinhua quickly raised his hand to correct: "I'm just asking about Taotao's sisters from her mother's family."
He particularly emphasized "Taotao's mother's family" for fear that Shen Yu would misunderstand and expand "our family" to include the Xu family.
He couldn't afford to offend the aunts in the Xu family. He had a misunderstanding with Xu Liwen and was besieged by the sisters. He was almost beaten down. That was when Xu Aoxue was not present.
Since then, I no longer dared to confront them head-on. Today, when I came to Shen's house, I expected to meet them, so I brought my sister with me for courage.
Shen Yu said: "My mother's family is also our family. There is no sister."
"Taotao said yes."
Yan Xinhua raised his eyebrows at Shen Yu, meaning that you have no say.
Shen Yu was speechless: I'm telling you the truth but you don't believe it. My wife was just teasing you.
Meng Zhehan smiled and looked at Yan Xinhua: "Yufeng and I heard it. Taotao didn't specify her mother's family, nor did she directly say that she had a younger sister. Her original words were 'not now, but there will be one in the future'."
"Isn't that right?" Yan Xinhua said, "Taotao is very cautious. She told me: My sister is thousands of miles away in her hometown, so of course she doesn't have it now. When my sister comes to Beijing, she will have it, right?"
Meng Zhehan: “…” This twisted logic left him speechless.
Xia Yufeng said seriously, "I think Taotao meant this: Uncle Shen just married a new aunt, who is very young and will give Shen Yu a little sister in the future."
Yan Xinhua looked at Xia Yufeng in shock: "How can you think like this? Shen Yu is about to become a father, and he wants a little sister? You, you must have understood it wrong!"
"Just pretend." Meng Zhehan picked up a carrot and threw it at him.
Yan Xinhua dodged and couldn't help laughing: "Taotao, are you sure you mean this? Your mother's family really doesn't have a sister? That doesn't matter. If Uncle and Aunt Shen give Shen Yu a little sister, I can wait for her to grow up. How about that, Shen Yu?"
This guy is really thick-skinned than a city wall, and he is also very bold. Meng Zhehan and Xia Yufeng both looked at him sideways, waiting to see Shen Yu deal with him.
Shen Yu was very calm. There was no trace of his sister. If he took it seriously, he would lose. "You don't need to ask me about this. What Taotao and I say doesn't count. You should ask my parents."
Speaking of the devil, here comes the devil. Shen Heping just happened to come over and was about to tell them to prepare for dinner. When he heard what Shen Yu said, he immediately asked, "I'm here. What's up?"
Before Shen Yu could speak, Yan Xinhua rushed over and held Shen Heping's hand tightly, shaking it repeatedly, and said sincerely: "Uncle Shen, you are getting younger and younger, your hair is black and thick, your skin is smooth and tight, and your body is strong and upright. You look younger and more charming than me! If I walk on the street with you, people will definitely think we are brothers!
You and Auntie are a match made in heaven, I envy you so much, I wish I could be half as lucky as you! Uncle Shen, I sincerely wish you and Auntie a happy wedding, a son soon, a long life together, and eternal happiness! "
Everyone likes to hear good things, especially Shen Heping, who was lost and found again, like a long drought finally brought good luck. These days are like being immersed in a honey pot, extremely happy, and feel that being a god is just like this. Being flattered by Yan Xinhua, he was directly floating, his heart was full of joy, and he patted his shoulder with a bright smile and said, "Thank you, thank you Xinhua! Uncle also wishes you to meet your happiness soon. And Zhehan and Yufeng, you two have to hurry up too, Shen Yu is a slow bird that flies first and got married before you, you three should work harder and catch up!"
Meng Zhehan, Xia Yufeng: "..."
Clearly, neither of them said anything and were just watching the fun, yet they were dragged into this too?
It’s all Yan Xinhua’s fault, that nosy flatterer.
Meng Tao said: "Dad, Shen Yu is a stupid bird, then what am I?"
Shen Heping: "You are also a fool, even dumber than Shen Yu. Otherwise, how could he have caught you?"
Meng Tao: emmm...
Shen Yu smiled and hugged his little wife into his arms, demonstrating the "I caught you" action live. The three single dogs smiled with tears in their eyes and were fed a mouthful of dog food again.
Shen Heping told them to wash their hands quickly and sit at the dining table, ready to eat, and then he left.
Meng Zhehan said to Yan Xinhua, "What do you mean by wishing Uncle Shen to have a son soon? Where do you put Shen Yu?"
Xia Yufeng: "Yes, if you want to have a daughter soon, you will have a chance in the future."
Shen Yu said cheerfully, "Why go through so much trouble? Wouldn't it be better to go directly to meet the father-in-law?"
Yan Xinhua was not intimidated at all: "Do you think I'm stupid? It's already this late. If Uncle Shen kicks me out, won't I have nothing to eat for lunch?"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
A few people burst into laughter, causing the people gathered at the table over there to turn around and look over.
