Chapter 379: The former servants are now guests in the hall
There is no change in the Shen family.
The living room is still the same living room! The tables, chairs and benches are still the same tables, chairs and benches!
Even the central hall paintings on the wall were the central hall paintings of that year! When Cheng Xuyuan walked into the Shen family, he was in a trance, just like when he first came to Yanjing.
Everything, hasn't changed much.
That’s not right. Over the past year, both Shen Yunliang and Li Xueling seem to be a little older than before.
When Cheng Xuyuan and Shen Yulin entered the room, Shen Yunliang was sitting in the living room reading a book. When he saw Cheng Xuyuan come in, he stood up with a smile and said, "Xiao Cheng is here, come and sit down."
As he spoke, he picked up the teapot that had been prepared long ago and poured a cup of tea for Cheng Xuyuan himself.
Although Cheng Xuyuan felt a lot of strangeness in his heart when facing the enthusiastic Shen Yunliang, he also knew that the reason why Shen Yunliang treated him like this was probably just because he saved Shen Yumo.
Of course, whether there is anything different about this that is different from the past is unknown.
As he sat down opposite Shen Yunliang, he smiled and said, "Uncle Shen, you are always in good health."
"Very good." Shen Yunliang said with a smile: "I usually walk to work now. Walking three or four miles is no problem at all."
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Uncle, your way of exercising is a role model for us young people to learn from."
Shen Yunliang asked Cheng Xuyuan to drink tea and said with a smile: "Xiao Cheng, how are you recovering now?"
"Don't worry, uncle. I've recovered." Cheng Xuyuan said with a smile, "There's nothing wrong with me now."
Hearing Cheng Xuyuan's words, Shen Yunliang laughed and said, "It's good that you've recovered. This time it's all thanks to you. If it weren't for you, Yu Mo would probably..."
"Uncle Shen, we've already said that you shouldn't say such polite words."
"Although Yumo and I can't be together, we are still friends."
"How can I turn a blind eye to my friend's difficulties?" Cheng Xuyuan said solemnly without waiting for Shen Yunliang to finish his words.
After hearing what Cheng Xuyuan said, Shen Yunliang smiled even more.
But at the same time, he also felt more depressed.
Although Cheng Xuyuan's words sounded nice, he instantly distanced himself from Shen Yumo and defined their relationship as just friends.
From this point of view, Shen Yunliang felt deeply disappointed.
Although he was reluctant to admit it, the fact was that Cheng Xuyuan was a good son-in-law that was hard to find even with a lantern.
Just then, Li Xueling and Shen Yumo came out from the kitchen.
Seeing Cheng Xuyuan, Li Xueling felt even more touched.
Cheng Xuyuan, wearing a blue Zhongshan suit, not only looks young and handsome, but also more confident than when he came last year.
If I had known that Cheng Xuyuan was so capable, I wouldn't have asked my daughter for a divorce.
Thoughts were turning over in her mind, and she said to Cheng Xuyuan enthusiastically: "Xiao Cheng is here."
When Cheng Xuyuan saw Li Xueling, he quickly stood up and greeted her, "Hello, Auntie."
Hearing the word "Auntie", Li Xueling felt a pang in her heart.
She remembered that when Cheng Xuyuan just came to Yanjing from Chengjiazhuang to work, he also came to her house and sat for a while.
At that time, I was extremely worried that Cheng Xuyuan would call me mom without caring about anything.
At that time, she felt that if this young man called her mom, it would be a great disrespect to her family! But now, it is different!
Even if you want to hear someone call you mom, you can't do it. Look at this young man, he is neither humble nor arrogant, and calls you auntie openly.
But Li Xueling had been through a lot after all, so after a moment of sadness, she smiled and said, "Xiao Cheng, please sit down."
"The meal at home is almost ready."
"This time, you have to drink well."
Although Li Xueling spoke politely, Cheng Xuyuan's attention was still on Shen Yumo.
Shen Yumo, wearing a light white plaid top, was not only graceful, elegant and solemn at this moment, but Cheng Xuyuan could also see a hint of concern in Shen Yumo's eyes.
The source of this concern...
Thoughts surged in his mind, but Cheng Xuyuan said to Li Xueling: "Thank you, Auntie, you have worked hard today. I will have a couple of drinks with Uncle later."
Shen Yunliang looked at his wife who was about to speak, and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Cheng has come so far, and he must be hungry. Bring the cold dishes up first."
"Yulin, go get those two bottles of wine from under my desk."
When Shen Yulin heard about taking the wine from under the desk, he was stunned for a moment, but he quickly went over.
At this time, Shen Yumo said, "Dad, the wine under your desk was given to you by Uncle Ma. He asked you to keep it and drink it. Please change the bottle and drink it."
"What are you talking about, kid?"
"Your Uncle Ma told me to keep it for drinking, so it's up to me to decide when to drink it."
"Xiao Cheng is here today, I'm happy, so I'll drink this wine!" Shen Yunliang waved his hand and said, "Go to the kitchen and help your mother."
Cheng Xuyuan hurriedly said, "Uncle Shen, we are not outsiders, so let's just drink some regular wine."
"Good wine should be drunk at more important times."
Shen Yunliang said: "Today is a more important time, Xiao Cheng, don't worry about it, we must drink well this time."
Just at this time, Shen Yulin took out two bottles of iron-capped Moutai liquor that looked quite old.
"Xiao Cheng, this wine was given to me by an old friend of mine. I drank a bottle some time ago and it tasted very good. You can try it today." Shen Yunliang opened a bottle without waiting for Cheng Xuyuan to speak.
Just at this time, Li Yufei and Shen Yumo came out of the kitchen carrying two plates respectively.
Garlic pork, boiled peanuts, spicy and sour lotus root cubes, and a dish of Fuqi Feipian (livestock slices) make it so delicious that it makes people salivate at the first sight.
Shen Yunliang pointed at the pork with garlic paste and said, "Xiao Cheng, your aunt is the most classic in making this dish. She put a lot of effort into making it today. You must try it later."
Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Then I will wait and thank Aunt Li."
While the two were talking, Shen Yulin had already poured the wine.
Just as Shen Yunliang picked up the wine glass, the door was pushed open from the outside and Shen Yushu walked in hurriedly.
He quickly apologized, "Xuyuan, I originally said I would come earlier, but something happened at work, so I worked overtime and came late."
“I’m sorry!”
Looking at Shen Yushu who looked apologetic, Cheng Xuyuan smiled and said, "Brother, when we are working, we have no choice."
"We are not outsiders, there is nothing to be sorry about."
Shen Yushu smiled and said, "Xuyuan, you are absolutely right about not being able to control yourself!"
"Hey, before I went to work today, I already said hello and I'm leaving early."
"But I didn't expect that there would be work all of a sudden."
As he spoke, he sat down opposite Cheng Xuyuan and said, "Dad, Xuyuan, let's have a drink together."
As Shen Yushu raised his glass, Cheng Xuyuan and others also raised their glasses and drank the wine in the glass.
While drinking, Shen Yunliang talked with Cheng Xuyuan about things in southern Xinjiang, and he didn't seem embarrassed at all.
In the kitchen, Shen Yumo and Li Yufei kept bringing out hot dishes.
In just over twenty minutes, ten dishes were already placed on the table, and the aroma of the food filled the entire room.
Although Cheng Xuyuan had drunk a few glasses of wine, his mind was extremely clear.
After Li Yufei brought a bowl of stewed chicken soup, he said to Li Yufei: "Yufei, tell Aunt Li that these dishes are enough."
“Any more would be a waste.”
Li Yufei glanced at Cheng Xuyuan and said bluntly, "My mother decided the recipe. If you have any objections, tell her."
As he spoke, he walked away.
Watching Li Yufei leaving gracefully, Cheng Xuyuan was speechless.
At this time, Shen Yunliang smiled and said, "Xiao Cheng, Yu Fei has had this personality since she was young, so don't take it personally."
Cheng Xuyuan hurriedly said, "Uncle Shen, Yu Fei and I are classmates, and she doesn't treat me as an outsider."
"These dishes made by your aunt are all her love. You should eat and drink." Shen Yunliang said: "We must get drunk today."
Although Shen Yunliang said so, Cheng Xuyuan certainly would not get drunk.
When he drank, he always kept a balance.
But even so, after an hour, he was still a little tipsy.
Just as Cheng Xuyuan was thinking about how to say goodbye and leave, Shen Yunliang suddenly held up the wine glass and said, "Xiao Cheng, I rarely regret what I do."
"And I rarely think I'm wrong about something I've determined."
"But today, I still want to say that I was wrong in this matter of yours."
"And I regret it too!"
At this point, he turned to Cheng Xuyuan and said, "Xiao Cheng, some things are just fate."
"If it weren't for me, Yu Mo would never have gone to the Shenjiazhuang Brigade, and of course, he wouldn't have met you."
"It's because of me. If it weren't for me, Yu Mo would probably stay in Chengjiazhuang Brigade and live with you."
Cheng Xuyuan looked at Shen Yunliang, whose face was full of emotion. Just as he was about to speak, Shen Yunliang said, "Xiao Cheng, there are some things I don't want to say."
"But today, I decided to speak out."
"I feel like if I don't tell you, I'll probably regret it later."
Looking at Shen Yunliang's appearance, Cheng Xuyuan felt something in his heart. He felt that he knew what Shen Yunliang was going to say, but he didn't know how to stop him for a moment.
As for the Shen Yushu brothers, they also understood a little at this time.
Shen Yulin said: "Dad, you've drunk too much, why don't you take a rest first..."
"There's no place for you to talk here."
Shen Yunliang said in a deep voice: "I'm talking to Xiao Cheng, don't interrupt!"
Shen Yulin, who was scolded, wanted to say something, but was gently pulled back by Shen Yushu. Facing his brother's serious look, Shen Yulin finally stopped talking.
"Xuyuan, you and Yumo have just filed for divorce. If you want to save the relationship, there is still room for recovery."
"I feel that you and Yu Mo are a perfect match."
"If...if there is still a possibility of redemption, I hope you can reconsider it."
"I know my own child. Yu Mo is also a rare good girl."
Facing Shen Yunliang's gaze, Cheng Xuyuan didn't know what to say for a moment.
The eyes of brothers Shen Yulin and Shen Yushu also fell on Cheng Xuyuan at this time.
Although they were surprised that their father would say such humble words, at this moment, they also wanted to know urgently what Cheng Xuyuan's attitude was.
