As the Spring Festival approached, my third brother, Shen Jianmin, also returned home from his factory vacation. As soon as he entered the house, Shen Jianmin announced his return with his loud voice, "Mom and Dad, Big Brother and Sister-in-law, Qingmiao, I'm back!"
That loud voice was not only heard by everyone in the Shen family, but probably even the people next door could hear it.
Mother Shen came out and said unhappily, “Why are you shouting so loudly? Are you afraid that we can’t hear you?”
Shen Jianmin walked over with a playful smile, "I'm just worried that you guys aren't home."
"Go away, don't give me that." Mother Shen said disdainfully, "Why don't you put the things down quickly? Isn't it heavy to carry?"
“Mom, I know you care about me.” After saying that, Shen Jianmin gave Shen’s mother a loving look.
Shen's mother looked uncomfortable. Why was her son so clingy? Compared with the other two sons, Shen Jianmin was more affectionate to Shen's mother and often joked with her.
Shen Jianmin's return home made the Shen family lively. Xiaojie, who was on vacation, was away all day long, and no one knew where he went with his friends.
Another thing that particularly surprised Shen Qingmiao was that the class Xiaojie had started had actually continued. Shen Qingmiao hadn't expected Xiaojie to be so patient, unlike his usual mischievous self.
In response, Shen Qingmiao praised Xiaojie and gave him some prizes. As for what the prizes were, they were of course Xiaojie's favorite items.
After putting his things away, Shen Jianmin discovered that there was a puppy in his yard. Shen Jianmin came to the puppy, squatted down and wanted to touch it, "Mom, where did this puppy come from?"
The puppy was still unfamiliar with Shen Jianmin, and naturally was not happy when he saw Shen Jianmin wanted to touch him. He bared his teeth and looked ferocious.
But in Shen Jianmin's view, she is cute and naughty.
"You mean beans? Qingmiao and her boyfriend picked them up outside."
At this time, Shen Jianmin's attention was not on the puppy, but on the object that suddenly appeared.
When did Qingmiao get a partner? How come I don’t know?
Now, Shen Jianmin was confused.
After coming to his senses, he immediately asked, "Mom, when did Qingmiao have a boyfriend? How come I didn't know?"
"The last time Qingmiao came back, she was with her boyfriend. Didn't you know?" Shen Jianmin looked so confused that his mother found it strange.
"I don't know. No one told me."
"Didn't anyone tell you?"
"No!"
Shen Jianmin and Shen's mother stared at each other, and after a while Shen's mother reacted, "Oh, I remember, we seem to have forgotten to tell you."
What?
Shen Jianmin was stunned, as if struck by lightning. For the first time, he began to doubt his own existence. What could have caused everyone to forget about a living being like him?
"No way, you even forgot to tell me such important news. Mom, tell me, was I actually adopted?" Shen Jianmin acted as if he saw through everything.
Unexpectedly, Shen's mother just followed his words and said, "Since you already know it, Mom will tell you the truth. In fact, your parents found it under the big tree at the entrance of the village."
Shen Jianmin was so confused that he didn't know what to say.
Such a false lie, and he is being deceived as if he is a three-year-old child. Who would believe it?
"Mom, I'm serious. Don't tell me this to a kid. I'm not a grown-up, so I'm not going to be fooled by you." Shen Jianmin suddenly remembered that when he was young and ignorant, he was often fooled by Shen's mother's lies. Once, he actually ran under the tree to look for clues to see whose child he was.
"By the way, what's going on with Qingmiao's boyfriend? Please tell me about it." Shen Jianmin trotted to Shen's mother with a look of curiosity.
Shen's mother told Shen Jianmin everything about the relationship between Shen Qingmiao and Gu Jingyuan. After listening, Shen Jianmin could only sigh in his heart: It seems that there is no hope for that kid Lin Jian.
Shen Jianmin could see what Lin Jian was thinking. Every time he came to his house, he would chat with Qingmiao. If that wasn't some ulterior motive, then what was he doing? Seeing Lin Jian's sincerity and deep love for Qingmiao, Shen Jianmin had thought it would be nice for Lin Jian to be his brother-in-law.
Unexpectedly, Qingmiao already has a boyfriend.
It seems that the next time I meet Lin Jian, I should tell him the news as soon as possible so that he can give up.
Shen Jianmin felt a little headache for some reason. How should he start the conversation appropriately?
"What's the matter? Are you unhappy to hear that Qingmiao has a boyfriend?" Mother Shen looked at Shen Jianmin's listless look and asked curiously.
Shen Jianmin replied weakly, "No, I'm quite happy, but a little annoying."
"Annoying?" Mother Shen suspected that she had misheard. What the hell was annoying? "Qingmiao has a partner, why are you annoying?"
Shen Jianmin said in an unfathomable manner: "Mom, you don't understand."
Mother Shen looked at Shen Jianmin's weird look and was too lazy to pay attention to him.
With only a few days left until the Lunar New Year, the village had already distributed pork, grain, and money. On this day, Shen's mother planned to take everyone to the county town to buy New Year's goods.
Mother Shen: "The New Year is just a few days away, so we have to go to the county town to buy some New Year's goods. Zhaodi is pregnant and it's inconvenient for her to stay at home and rest. Jianguo, you stay home with Zhaodi, and the rest of you who want to go to the county town can go with us."
The happiest among them was Xiaojie, who was jumping up and down excitedly, "I'm going to the county town, I'm going to the county town..."
Li Zhaodi looked at others with envy. She also wanted to go to the county town.
She tried to test it out: "Mom, I'm fine with my stomach, so why don't I go too?"
Mother Shen disapproved, “Nonsense, there are so many people in the county now, what if you bump into something?”
The eldest brother, Shen Jianguo, helped persuade his wife, "Wife, Mom is right. You should not go to the county town now. I will take you there after you give birth."
Since she said that, Li Zhaodi had no choice but to agree.
As the group went out, they met many people who were also going to the county town, probably all buying New Year's goods. After seeing each other, they greeted each other and then went on their way together.
We chatted and laughed on the way, and it seemed to go faster. Before we finished talking, we arrived at the county town.
