After receiving the package sent by Gu Jingyuan, Shen Qingmiao wrote a letter back to Gu Jingyuan, along with some other things she sent to Gu Jingyuan.
Shen Qingmiao naturally did not forget his second brother who was also in the army, and also sent him a set of items.
Shen Jianjun's absence this year made both his father and mother feel a little regretful. They wondered how he would spend the New Year alone in the army.
Shen Qingmiao returned to her room at night and took out all the items that Gu Jingyuan had sent her and placed them on the bed. She hadn't looked at them carefully during the day, but now she could take a good look at them.
Shen Qingmiao first tried on the coat that Gu Jingyuan had sent her, and it fit perfectly. Then she tried on the pair of black leather shoes, and they also fit her feet.
She was even wondering how Gu Jingyuan knew so many of her measurements. If Gu Jingyuan were here, he would probably say: He has sharp eyes and can tell.
In addition, Gu Jingyuan even bought her a few hair ties and hairpins that girls like. Holding these small items, Shen Qingmiao smiled lightly.
I don’t know what Gu Jingyuan is doing now?
Looking at these things, Shen Qingmiao missed the person who sent them.
In a distant army, someone was also missing her at this moment.
After Shen Jianguo recovered from his injury, he trained even harder to please Zhou Ying's family. He wanted to achieve better results so that Zhou Ying would have an easier time marrying him.
Shen Jianjun had planned to wait until the Lunar New Year to call home and tell his parents about his relationship with Zhou Ying, so his mother wouldn't have to keep nagging him about finding a blind date. Now that he had a partner, his mother didn't have to worry about his marriage anymore.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is New Year's Eve.
Mother Shen got up early in the morning and began to prepare for the New Year's Eve dinner. All the vegetables had to be washed first, and rabbits, chickens, etc. had to be killed and cleaned first.
There are so many things to do, and Shen's mother has been busy since morning.
Shen Qingmiao got up and had breakfast and started to help. In addition, she finally gave Shen's mother a chance to breathe, which made her feel much more relaxed.
Shen's father pulled his second brother Shen Jianmin to start writing couplets on the red paper they bought. Ever since his second brother Shen Jianmin learned calligraphy, he has been the one to write the Spring Festival couplets.
It saves me the money of buying Spring Festival couplets.
Mr. Shen arranged all the things he needed for Shen Jianmin and waited for him to start.
Shen Jianmin held the brush for a long time without moving. Seeing this, his father urged him, "What are you doing here? Hurry up and write."
"Dad, can't you give me some time to think about what to write?" Shen Jianmin turned his head with a helpless look on his face.
"You've been thinking about it for so long, have you made up your mind?" Father Shen asked instead of answering.
"Uh..." Shen Jianmin was stunned, "Not yet."
Father Shen looked at Shen Jianmin with disappointment in his eyes. It had been so long and he still hadn't come up with a pair of Spring Festival couplets. If he had to look at him, he would have been in a daze, not thinking seriously.
Father Shen gave Shen Jianmin a look that told him to stop dawdling and didn't say anything else.
Shen Jianmin could already feel the murderous intent coming from his father beside him. If he continued to procrastinate, he would probably not be able to bear the consequences.
So, Shen Jianmin didn't hesitate any longer. He immediately picked up the pen and wrote on the red paper,
First couplet: Good luck for the year comes with spring
Second line: Colorful clouds roll in from all seasons
Horizontal banner: All the best
After finishing writing, Shen Jianmin asked his father, "Dad, how about this?"
"Okay, keep writing."
Shen Jianmin, who had expected praise, received no praise, only continued to work hard. After he finally finished writing all the Spring Festival couplets needed for the family, he was dragged by his father to paste them up again. In any case, there was no rest.
Thinking about the big dinner in the evening, Shen Jianmin became motivated again.
While busy, Shen Jianmin was still thinking in his head: What delicious food will Qingmiao make tonight?
Soon, a stern voice shattered his fantasy, "Jianmin, what are you thinking, you even put up the Spring Festival couplets crookedly!"
Shen Jianmin came back to his senses and immediately replied: "Oh, oh, right away."
Shen Qingmiao, who was not far away, saw this scene and burst out laughing.
Her third brother is still so interesting.
The entire house had been cleaned two days ago while the sun was shining, even the quilts were taken out to dry. It wasn't just Shen Qingmiao's family; every other villager's household did the same. During those days, you could see the yard filled with quilts drying almost every day.
Xiao Jie had Li Zhaodi dress him in new clothes made by his grandmother early in the morning, and after dinner he rushed out to show off his new clothes. Before leaving, Shen Qingmiao gave him a handful of fruit candies and told him to share them with his friends later.
Seeing the fruit candy, Xiao Jie's smile became even brighter, and he ran out in time before Li Zhaodi could ask him to hand it over. This made Li Zhaodi feel a little sad.
So much candy is going to end up in other people's children's mouths. It makes me feel bad no matter how I think about it.
Li Zhaodi looked at Shen Qingmiao and said with heartache: "Qingmiao, how could you give Xiaojie so much candy and let him share it with others? This is such a waste."
It’s better to give the candy to her. Giving it to outsiders is no better than giving it to your family.
"It's not a waste. Kids, it's a give-and-take thing."
Mother Shen came over and asked, “Have you swept the floor? You still have time to chat here. Don’t you see that everyone is busy?”
"Mom, I'll go sweep the floor right away." Li Zhaodi, who was about to say something, immediately changed her words when asked by Shen's mother.
After Li Zhaodi left, Shen's mother said to Shen Qingmiao, "Your sister-in-law is just petty, ignore her."
