This time, Shen Jianying went back with a smile on her face. After the old man knew that Shen's father had returned, he no longer frowned at Shen Jianying.
"I understand." The old man's face did not show any emotion, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or unhappy.
However, according to Shen Jianying's guess, the old man was probably happy at this time.
Shen Jianying didn't stay in the old man's room for long. After he finished speaking, he came out. When he came out, Shen Jianying saw Shen Jianlin looking at him from a distance. He sneered and looked down on Shen Jianlin's behavior.
He needed to keep an eye on him all day, as if everything in the Shen family belonged to him, and they hadn't even split up yet. After all, the Shen family should belong to him, Shen Jianying, half, so even if the old man gave him something, that was normal.
Besides, he hasn't gotten anything yet. Is it necessary to be on guard against him like a thief every day?
When Shen Jianying saw Shen Jian like this, she felt depressed and uncomfortable.
"Brother, what are you looking at?" Since he is not comfortable, others can't expect to feel comfortable either. "If you really want to know what Grandpa is saying to me, you can just go in and listen. There's no need to hide here and eavesdrop. We are family, there is nothing we can't listen to."
Shen Jianying's sarcasm was obvious, he was almost saying that Shen Jianlin was sneaky and looked like a thief.
Hearing Shen Jianying's words, Shen Jianlin was furious. "Shen Jianying, I'm your cousin, and that's how you talk to me."
"Shen Jianlin, don't act like an elder in front of me. Let me tell you, everyone in your family knows about your little thoughts. Don't bother me anymore in the future. I, Shen Jianying, am not the type to swallow my anger." After leaving these harsh words, Shen Jianying walked past Shen Jianlin and left without caring about Shen Jianlin's reaction.
Ever since Shen Xuewen was separated from the family, the relationship between the first and second houses has become increasingly tense. Coupled with the partiality of the old man and the old woman, this friction has become increasingly intense.
The second wife has lost her patience with the first wife, and the two sides would quarrel from time to time when they met.
Shen Jianlin watched Shen Jianying leave with anger. He felt that Shen Jianying was becoming less and less respectful of him and not taking him, her older cousin, seriously at all.
This was hard for Shen Jianlin, who had always been favored and valued by the old man, to accept.
"Shen Jianying, I'm going to tell me and see how I'll deal with you. You dare not take me seriously?"
Shen Jianlin made up his mind and planned to find a good opportunity to file a complaint. He must make Shen Jianying apologize to him.
Shen Qingmiao followed her mother's instructions and simply made two dishes for the New Year's Eve dinner: a plate of steamed pork with rice flour and a plate of braised fish.
As for steamed pork with rice flour, Shen Qingmiao steamed taro and pork belly together, so half of the plate of steamed pork with rice flour was taro.
After finishing, Shen Qingmiao brought it to the table and asked Shen's mother, "Mom, what do you think of these two dishes?"
Mother Shen took a look and said in an unhappy tone: “It’s a bargain for them.”
In Shen's mother's eyes, these two dishes are indeed two hard dishes. She is a little reluctant to give them to the people in the old house.
It’s okay, I’ll try to eat it back when the time comes.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Shen's mother called out to everyone in the Shen family so that they could set off for the old house. Before leaving, Shen's mother also said something specifically, "After we get there, eat more and talk less. Got it?"
"I know." Everyone answered in unison.
"Now that you know, let's go."
The group headed towards the old house in a mighty procession. When they met someone they knew on the way, they greeted him and said, "Where else can we go? Aren't we going to the old house to have the New Year's Eve dinner?"
Then he seemed to see the baskets they were holding, "What is this?"
Mother Shen deliberately opened it and showed it to the man, "Well, I'm thinking of adding two more dishes."
The man sighed and said, "Your family is really honest, and all the dishes are solid."
Mother Shen showed a satisfied smile, "Nothing, I just wanted to add some food for the old man and the others."
Shen Qingmiao and the others stood silently by, watching Shen's mother chatting with that person while showing their family's politeness. They thought that it wouldn't be long before the news that their family went to the old house for dinner and brought two hard dishes with them would spread throughout Xiaohe Village.
Shen Qingmiao had to admire Shen's mother's ability. Now, even if they had a quarrel with the old house, others would be on their side.
Maybe in everyone's eyes, their family is synonymous with being pitiful and bullied.
"Stop chatting, they're waiting for us to have dinner over there."
Every time she met someone she knew on the road, Mother Shen would do this, and by the time she got to the old house, the food was already on the table.
As soon as the eldest aunt Lin Juhua saw Shen's mother, she began to speak in a sarcastic tone, "Some people are lucky. They come here only after the dishes are on the table, and they are waiting to eat."
It was so obviously targeted, but Mother Shen still couldn't hear it.
Mother Shen ignored Lin Juhua and went straight past her to talk to her second aunt Wang Xiaohe. "I met an acquaintance on the way and chatted for a while, so I'm late. I also brought two dishes, just in time to add to everyone's dishes."
Shen Jianmin was very tactful and handed over the basket just right, and Shen's mother brought the dishes to the table.
He smiled and said, "Mom and Dad, you must try it later."
He didn't care about other people's expressions and sat down directly. By the way, he also pulled Shen's father.
After Shen Qingmiao and the other juniors called everyone, they sat at a table next to them, which was occupied by all the juniors.
After Shen's mother sat down, she deliberately glanced at the old man. Seeing that the old man looked calm, Shen's mother knew that today's meal might not be so easy.
Shen Qingmiao, who was sitting at another table, felt that the atmosphere was somewhat oppressive. Eating in such an environment was simply torture.
