Generally speaking, a married girl will return to her parents' home on the second day of the Chinese New Year.
But Shen Chu Ning had to go to work tomorrow, and since her parents' home was close, she went back under the pretext of paying New Year's greetings.
When she returned, Shen Qingsong was already looking out the door.
Seeing her, Shen Qingsong's old face instantly broke into a smile, "My dear girl, you're back. Are you cold? Come into the house with your father and warm yourself by the fire."
Shen Chuning walked up to Shen Qingsong and took his arm while chatting with his old father.
When Shen Qingsong entered the house, he also discussed with He Hui: "Old man's family, Ningning and Yubai have to go to work tomorrow and won't be able to come back. You should discuss with the second family and kill a chicken and stew it at noon today, cook a piece of bacon and a sausage, and stew the fish that the eldest brought back yesterday. Ningning likes to eat fish."
Shen Chu Ning just wanted to tell her sister-in-law not to bother with so much trouble.
He Hui smiled and said, "Dad, don't worry. When Brother Zhengxu went out this morning, he guessed that Ningning would definitely come back today, so he killed the chicken and fish and cleaned up the place early in the morning."
When Shen Chu Ning heard He Hui's words, she was indescribably moved.
They pay attention to eating fish during the New Year, which symbolizes abundance every year.
But because my father and my brother and sisters-in-law like to eat fish, they didn’t have fish for the New Year’s Eve dinner yesterday, and saved it for her to eat when she came back.
Shen Chuning sincerely said thank you to He Hui.
He Hui smiled and said, "Ningning, you are being polite. When you brought us fabrics and candies, and brought wine to dad, we didn't say thank you, did we?"
Shen Chuning smiled and said, "Okay, sister-in-law, I won't say thank you to you in the future. We are a family, so we don't need to be polite."
As soon as Shen Chuning finished speaking, Li Xiaolan came out of the room.
Li Xiaolan said hello to Shen Chuning and Zhou Yubai with an awkward expression, and then hurried into the kitchen, "Sister-in-law, I'll go light the fire first."
Although Shen Chu Ning felt that Li Xiaolan was a little strange.
But thinking about Li Xiaolan's passionate pursuit of Zhou Yubai in the past, and the fact that they are now married and living together, some awkwardness is inevitable.
I didn't take it to heart.
She chatted with Shen's father and Zhou Yubai in the main room for a while, then left Zhou Yubai to talk to Shen's father while she went to the kitchen to talk to her two sisters-in-law.
As soon as she reached the kitchen door, she heard He Hui's low voice exclaiming, "Xiao Lan, what happened to you? Why are your eyes so swollen? Did Zheng Liang bully you?"
Shen Chuning then remembered that when Li Xiaolan came out just now, she was hiding herself. It was not because she was embarrassed to see Zhou Yubai, but because she clearly didn't want them to see her face.
"Sister-in-law, please keep your voice down. I'm fine. Zhengliang didn't bully me. It's my own problem." Li Xiaolan quickly stopped He Hui.
He Hui sighed, "I'll boil an egg for you, you roll around. Your eyes are so swollen, it won't be good if dad, sister, and brother-in-law see you."
"Well, thank you, sister-in-law." Li Xiaolan responded.
The two people in the kitchen stopped talking, and Shen Chu Ning had to retract his foot that was about to step in.
She couldn't help but sigh and shook her head.
I really don’t know whether it is right or wrong for my second brother and Li Xiaolan to get together.
Since the second sister-in-law didn't want anyone to know that she had cried, it would not be appropriate for her to go in at this time.
Shen Chu Ning returned to the main room.
Zhou Yubai, who was talking to Shen's father, naturally pulled her to sit next to the stove, warmed her hands, and leaned over to ask her, "Aren't you going to talk to your eldest and second sisters-in-law? Why are you back so soon?"
"Sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, there's nothing you need my help with. The kitchen is too small and I can't move around, so I'll leave first."
There is not much work assigned to each production team today.
Shen Zhengliang went to work alone and took over the work of Shen's father, He Hui, and Li Xiaolan, and came back in the morning.
Chen Chuning hesitated for several times whether to ask his second brother what happened between him and his second sister-in-law, and why his second sister-in-law cried so hard that her eyes were swollen on New Year's Eve.
But after thinking about it, I decided to give up.
As a married sister, she had not had a good relationship with Li Xiaolan in the past, so it was inappropriate for her to ask about these matters.
Shen Zhengxu only worked on the road repair for half a day. After lunch, he didn't have to go to work.
During the meal, Shen Qingsong said, "Big Boss, when you got married last time, your aunt came and asked us to visit each other more often. After dinner, you can take your brothers and sisters to the county to pay New Year's greetings to your uncle and aunt's family."
"Dad, aren't you going?" Shen Zhengxu asked.
Shen Qingsong waved his hand, "You youngsters can go, I won't go."
In the afternoon, the three siblings brought their spouses to the county party committee staff quarters.
After they registered in the mail room, Liu Yanfeng, wearing a Zhongshan suit, came out not long after.
Liu Yanfeng came out and shook Shen Zhengxu's hand enthusiastically, "Zhengxu, you are here. I have been thinking about you coming to pay New Year's greetings this year since I woke up early this morning. I am looking forward to it!
Why didn’t my second uncle come? ”
"My dad was happy last night and drank a few extra glasses. He has a headache today, so we came here to replace him."
While talking, several people walked into the family compound.
Liu Junpei had already been promoted to a small leader of the county party committee, and his family members Shen Qingfeng, Liu Yanfeng and Liu Meijun all worked in the county party committee.
So the house they live in in the staff compound is the largest one, a suite with four bedrooms and two living rooms. The living room is very spacious and there is a separate kitchen.
However, houses of this era did not have independent bathrooms. The bathrooms and washrooms were located at the two ends of each floor.
