Chapter 442 I Want to Eat That Braised Pork
As the New Year approaches, the translation department is getting busy.
He worked overtime several times without saying a word.
It was already past nine o'clock when I left the company building.
At this time, she could always see that familiar Rolls-Royce.
However, after working so hard for a while, it's still worth it to be able to take a few days off and rest.
Neither the Si nor the Shen families objected to spending the New Year together.
On the contrary, they are all looking forward to it.
Ling Huiwen was at home directing the housekeeper to transport things to the resort, telling her what to bring for her daughter-in-law and what to carry for her.
Si Chengli looked around and said, "They didn't bring me anything."
Ling Huiwen said earnestly, "Honey, you're an adult now, the father of our child. Can you stop being so sour and bitter like your son?"
Si Chengli straightened his back. "That won't do. That kid Jingxu is really..."
He's too jealous, he doesn't like that.
The Shen family was not only happy but also grateful.
It's truly rare to find someone as understanding and reasonable as the Si family who would agree to come out and celebrate their 30th birthday together.
Lan Xinyan took on even more tasks.
The in-laws have definitely prepared everything their daughter needs. They not only need to prepare for their daughter, but also for their son-in-law.
Which family doesn't love their own child?
She wanted the Si family to know how much they cared about this son-in-law, so that they could be at ease while treating their daughter well.
At this moment, Shen Buyu was sitting on Song Jingyi's sofa, gnawing on a pig's trotter. "Brother, Si Jingxu said we're going to play cards together on New Year's Eve."
Seeing her eating with relish, Song Jingyi smiled broadly and asked, "What, afraid your brother will lose the game?"
“No, Miss, no,” A-Cheng said, gnawing on another pig’s trotter. He hadn’t spoken for a while, but when he heard this, he looked up. “Yi-ge won’t lose.”
"Really?" Shen Buyu looked over in surprise. "Can you count cards? Brother, teach me! I lost a lot of cards playing with Qin Nianke before."
"Okay, I'll teach you." Song Jingyi handed her a tissue. "I'll teach you whatever you want to learn."
Acheng wanted to say something more, but after meeting Song Jingyi's gaze, he swallowed his words along with the pig's trotter.
Chen Mo carried over a large box of things. "Brother Yi, this is a New Year's gift from President Song, he said it's for Miss."
Shen Buyu glanced at it, then lowered his head to eat the pig's trotter.
"Keep it." Song Jingyi waved his hand, then said to Shen Buyu, "Take whatever he gives you in the future. Anyway, it'll all be yours when he dies. It's only a matter of time."
"..." Shen Buyu looked at the bowl of bones, "Brother, I want to eat more."
"I'm out of food here. Let's go eat at our godmother's." Song Jingyi stood up and glanced at his sister, feeling that she had seemed a little different these past two days.
But he couldn't pinpoint exactly what was wrong.
On the morning of Lunar New Year's Eve, several families gathered at the mountain resort.
The two houses were decorated exactly the same, with festive red everywhere.
"Oh my, this is the first time I've ever celebrated my 30th birthday in such a lively way." Ling Huiwen pulled Lan Xinyan with one hand and Shen Buyu with the other. "Come on, let's call Mu Zi and the four of us go play cards."
"Zhiye, things are going to get lively from now on." Si Chengli walked to Shen Zhiye's side. "Shall we go fishing?"
“No, no,” Shen Zhiye waved his hand. “My daughter doesn’t know how to play cards. I’ll watch over her.”
"Hey? My daughter-in-law doesn't know how to play cards? Come along, come along, let her watch the kids."
"Stop looking," Song Jingyi walked over to Si Jingxu and joked, "My sister has already become the dealer."
"Alright, as long as she's happy," Si Jingxu chuckled. "Shall we all sit at a table together?"
“Sure, I’ve been busy for days, and I’m just waiting to relax,” Shen Yunqi said happily to Shen Yanzhou. “Big brother, you have to have fun this time too.”
Shen Yanzhou pushed up his glasses. "You guys play first, I'll go see why the grandfathers haven't arrived yet."
At the card table, Lan Xinyan and Ling Huiwen took good care of Shen Buyu.
For someone who doesn't play often, being a good card partner is already quite an achievement.
Needless to say, Mu Zi was so eager to feed her her own cards.
Shen Zhiye and Si Chengli helped her with the cards, offering occasional pointers, and no one said anything.
After several rounds of cards, she still won the most chips.
"Alright, it's time for lunch. Let's rest first," Shen Zhiye reminded his daughter as she yawned.
Long Yu was going to stay home to celebrate his 30th birthday, but he made sure the resort had plenty of Shen Buyu's favorite foods.
During the meal, Chen Buyu found this meat delicious and that meat delicious, until he was so full that his stomach felt a little uncomfortable.
Si Jingxu helped her back to her room to rest.
“You eat whatever anyone puts food on your plate, but you insist on keeping the bowl of water perfectly level? Aren’t you afraid of overeating?”
"No, it's not that. I just really thought it was delicious," Shen Buyu said, rubbing her stomach a little embarrassedly. "I might be close to my period, so I probably ate it these past few days."
"Don't lie down yet, you'll feel even worse later," Si Jingxu said, pulling her along as they slowly strolled around the room. "If you don't digest first, there will be even more delicious food at the New Year's Eve dinner, what will you do then?"
"I won't eat so much tonight," Shen Buyu said, yawning again. "I stayed up too late recently, and I can't catch up on the sleep I missed."
"Go to sleep, I won't bother you."
Chen Buyu was genuinely sleepy.
I changed into my pajamas and fell asleep within two minutes of lying in bed.
It wasn't until Si Jingxu came to call her down for New Year's Eve dinner that she finally got to go.
He gently stroked the tip of her nose, then kissed her cheek. Seeing that she didn't react, he kissed her lips directly.
As their lips intertwined, Chen Buyu opened his eyes.
"Awake?" Si Jingxu touched the tip of her nose. "I didn't want to wake you, but it's time for New Year's Eve dinner, baby."
Shen Buyu rubbed his eyes, still feeling incredibly sleepy. "I need to have some coffee tonight, otherwise I won't be able to stay up all night."
“Go to sleep if you’re tired. I’ll keep watch for you,” Si Jingxu said, bringing her slippers and bending down to put them away. “We’re husband and wife, so if I keep watch, it’s your turn.”
"Getting married is wonderful." Shen Buyu smiled and kissed Si Jingxu's chin. "But I'll stay with you. My brothers are here too."
"If I make you coffee and stay up all night, my brothers will team up and beat me to a pulp."
The young couple came down hand in hand, and the adults greeted them with smiles and invited them to take their seats.
The two grandfathers spoke first, and the New Year's Eve dinner, which was twice as lively as usual, began.
Shen Buyu ate too much at noon, so Si Jingxu didn't let her drink alcohol, but only gave her a glass of juice.
However, Shen Buyu's first chopstick went straight for the braised pork knuckle.
She herself found it strange. It was normal for her appetite to increase before her period, but she had never felt like this before, like a bottomless pit, unable to get full no matter how much she ate.
No, it means that even if you're full, you can still stuff yourself with more.
"Buyu," Si Jingxu frowned slightly, carefully choosing his words, "why don't you eat some vegetables?"
“Ah,” Shen Buyu knew what he meant, but was still in a dilemma, “But I want to eat that braised pork.”
