Chapter 130 New Year, New Atmosphere



After returning home, Shen Qingmiao thought about New Year's Eve today. He wondered how Mr. Xue was doing in the cowshed.

Shen Qingmiao, who wanted to go and see him, told Shen's mother on the way home. Shen's mother knew the relationship between Mr. Xue and Gu Jingyuan. When she heard that Shen Qingmiao was going to visit the old man, Shen's mother agreed and said, "Tell Jianmin to go with you later."

It was dark, and Shen's mother was worried about Shen Qingmiao going there alone. Only with Shen Jianmin accompanying her did Shen's mother feel relieved.

"Okay, I'll ask my third brother to go with me later." Shen Qingmiao agreed, "Or I can go back and cook a few dishes to bring over. It's not easy for those old people here."

It's Chinese New Year, and the three old people don't have much to do there. I guess they have a boring New Year.

It wasn't a big deal, so Mother Shen agreed immediately, "Go home and figure it out yourself."

Shen Qingmiao hugged Shen's mother's arm and said with a smile: "Thank you, Mom, you are so kind."

After preparing a few dishes, Shen Qingmiao pulled Shen Jianmin and headed straight to the cowshed. Since it was New Year's Eve and everywhere was bustling, the two of them deliberately avoided the villagers when they went there to avoid being discovered.

The arrival of Shen Qingmiao and Shen Jianmin made the three old men look surprised, and they immediately invited them to come in.

Mr. Xue asked with a smile, "Are you coming over tonight?"

Aren't days like this supposed to be about family reunions? Unlike these three old men, they were all alone in a foreign land, without a single family member around them. When Shen Qingmiao and Shen Jianmin weren't around, the three elderly men were missing their families, and a sense of loneliness enveloped the entire house.

"I'm looking forward to the New Year, so I'm sending some New Year's Eve dishes to you three old men." Shen Qingmiao said with a smile, "Isn't it because I came too late? Have you all eaten already?"

Shen Qingmiao thought, if she hadn't been eating at the old house, she wouldn't have come so late. It was normal for the old men to have already eaten at this time.

Fortunately, in addition to bringing New Year's Eve dishes, Shen Qingmiao also brought some snacks.

"If you've already eaten, then why not have some snacks and chat."

As he spoke, Shen Jianmin took out all the things he had brought.

"Come on, why bring so many things?" Old Master Xue, worthy of being called the epitome of tsundere, still said one thing and meant another. Even as he spoke, the smile on his face grew ever brighter.

"I'm just thinking that everyone will be bored sitting here."

"You two old guys, hurry up and sit over here. Didn't you see Qingmiao brought so many delicious foods? If you two don't sit over here, I might eat them all by myself."

Mr. Xue said this on purpose because he was afraid that the other two old men would feel embarrassed.

When the two old men heard what Mr. Xue said, they were not polite and said, "Old man Xue, don't even think about taking it all for yourself."

Everyone sat together at the table, eating snacks and reminiscing about the ups and downs of the past year. With the addition of Shen Qingmiao and Shen Jianmin, the originally lonely atmosphere suddenly disappeared and became joyful.

Tomorrow will usher in the new year.

The next day, the Shen family officially split up. When the team leader and Third Uncle were invited over, they were both surprised. They'd never heard of anyone splitting up on New Year's Day, and they'd never heard of the Shen family even considering splitting up before. This sudden proposal really caught them off guard.

After Captain Shen Guohui and the third uncle came over, they saw that the old man Shen Gensheng, the head of the Shen family, was calm and couldn't understand what the old man was thinking.

"Gensheng, have you made up your mind?" Before starting to divide the family, Third Uncle specifically asked Grandpa Shen again.

"It's decided."

Seeing Shen Gensheng's resolute look, Captain Shen Guohui and the third uncle knew that he had made up his mind, so they didn't say anything more and witnessed the division of the old Shen family according to Shen Gensheng's request.

Since their arrival, Shen's father and mother have been sitting there calmly, like two spectators. For them, the division of the old Shen family is just a spectacle.

They didn't believe that the old man would leave them anything. Just as they had expected, the division of the family had nothing to do with them.

After the division, before the old man could say anything, Mr. and Mrs. Shen took their own leave.

The house has been divided up, why are they still staying there?

From now on, the two of them will treat the old man according to what they said when they divided the family property, and don't expect anything else.

After the division of the family property, both the first and second wives looked extremely happy. In the evening, Shen Jianlin was called to the old man's room.

Shen Gensheng: "Jianlin, is everything okay now?"

"Don't worry, Grandpa. You can just wait to enjoy the blessing of your grandchildren in the future."

It turned out that it was Shen Jianlin who proposed that Shen Gensheng decide to split the family business. The reason was that after he left the textile factory, he asked someone to join the transport team. After joining the transport team, Shen Jianlin discovered that there was another way to make money.

So, every time Shen Jianlin went to deliver goods, he would secretly hide some goods and sell them back. In this way, he earned much more money than his salary.

Having tasted the sweetness, Shen Jianlin became more and more greedy, and was afraid of being discovered by the second wife, so he decided to split the family with Shen Gensheng.

Shen Jianlin plans to buy a house in the county town when he makes money, and then move his whole family there.

He doesn't want to make money himself and let the second wife take advantage of it.

Today, my eldest brother and his wife took Xiaojie to visit relatives, leaving only Shen's father and mother, Shen Qingmiao, and Shen Jianmin at home. Shen's mother had fled here, so she didn't have any relatives to visit. On this day when everyone was visiting relatives, the Shen family seemed to be free.

Shen Qingmiao was sitting in the yard basking in the sun, and his friends were running around her feet, as if they were treating her trouser legs as fun toys and having a lot of fun playing with them.

Shen Qingmiao squinted his eyes and enjoyed the warm sunshine.

What a picture of peaceful times.

But it wasn't long before someone interrupted her, "Qingmiao, why don't you go out for a walk? What's the point of sitting here?"

Shen Jianmin, who was bored at home, planned to take Shen Qingmiao out for a walk.

"Where are we going?" Shen Qingmiao opened his eyes and asked.

"Just take a walk around here."

Shen Qingmiao thought about it for a moment and agreed: "Okay, let's go."

When going out, Shen Qingmiao also took beans with him.

Time flies, and soon winter passes, spring passes, and summer comes.

Shen Qingmiao's mushroom business gradually prospers, and her cooperation with Zhang Donghai is becoming more and more frequent. Since Lin Jian found out that Shen Qingmiao has a partner, he has extinguished the little flame of his love for Shen Qingmiao.

Although they couldn't be lovers, they could still be friends. Lin Jian was glad that he hadn't said his feelings out loud, otherwise they might not even be able to be friends.

Lin Jian still visited Shen Jianmin's home from time to time, but he found that Shen Jianmin was becoming more and more to his liking. Although he was pretending to be close to Shen Qingmiao, he actually became a good friend of Shen Jianmin.

Sometimes we have to admit that reality is always more unexpected than expected. However, this is also the wonder of the future, you never know what tomorrow will be like.
