Chen Yi, this bastard, not only did he do something shameful to his sister, but he also implicated him.

He should have beaten him harder at night.

Pei Yang cursed Chen Yi in his heart, while hugging Shen Mingzhu aggrievedly, "Wife, I am different from Chen Yi. I will not do anything to let you down. You are not allowed to talk about divorce again."

Shen Mingzhu glanced at him sideways, "You men are all the same. I used to think my brother-in-law was a good man, but he cheated on me, didn't he?"

"Anyway, I'm just reminding you that if you dare to cheat, be prepared to leave the house with nothing. Otherwise, choose between the bottom of the sea and the refrigerator."

Pei Yang naturally didn't understand the internet meme from more than 30 years later, so he curiously asked what it meant.

"Your grave."

Pei Yang: “…”

…

The next day was New Year’s Day.

Shen Mingzhu set the alarm clock and got up early to prepare a hot breakfast for the whole family. However, Pei Wenping got up earlier than her and was already busy making glutinous rice balls in the kitchen.

"Big sis, why don't you sleep a little longer? I'll do all this."

Pei Wenping's hands kept moving, and she looked much more energetic than last night. "I'm used to getting up early, so I woke up on time. Wake everyone up, I'll be done soon."

Shen Mingzhu nodded, went to the next room to wake up the twins, and then went upstairs to call Pei Ziheng.

"Son, Happy New Year! Get up and eat glutinous rice dumplings. Your aunt made your favorite peanut glutinous rice dumplings."

"Mother."

Pei Ziheng sat drowsily in the quilt, his little snow-white face was delicate and pink, his eyes were half-closed and half-open, his hair was messy and sticking up, he looked cute in a dazed way.

Shen Mingzhu rubbed his furry little head with amusement, "You haven't woken up yet? Get up and eat the dumplings and then come back to sleep for a while."

Pei Ziheng shook his head, "I woke up."

Little idiot, your eyes are not even open.

Shen Mingzhu secretly laughed but didn't expose him. "Now that you're awake, get dressed. Then come down and wash up."

"Um."

"Mother."

When Shen Mingzhu stood up and prepared to go out, she was pulled back by Pei Ziheng who was lying on the bed.

"What's the matter? Do you want me to help you get dressed?"

Shen Mingzhu handed over the clothes from the low cabinet, and Pei Ziheng took the clothes and held them in his arms.

"Thank you, Mom."

After a pause, he said, "Mom, I have something to tell you in private."

"Okay, go ahead."

Shen Mingzhu sat down and pretended to listen carefully.

"Mom, I'm worried about my aunt. She looks a lot like my old grandma."

Shen Mingzhu didn't understand the meaning of this and said with a smile: "Aunt is grandma's daughter, of course she looks like grandma."

Pei Ziheng's pretty face showed a bit of anxiety. "Grandma also lost a lot of weight before she passed away. My aunt is also thin now. Mom, I'm worried that my aunt will get a serious illness like grandma."

The smile on Shen Mingzhu's face turned into seriousness and solemnity.

Some diseases can indeed cause people to lose weight rapidly in a short period of time, so, did Pei Wenping die of an incurable disease in the book? Shen Mingzhu was feeling mixed emotions.

The joy is getting a clue, the worry is worrying that I am powerless to change it.

Even in 3202 when medical technology is advanced, there are still many terminal illnesses that cannot be cured, let alone in this backward era.

"Mother."

Shen Mingzhu came back to her senses and touched her son's cheek soothingly. "Son, thank you for your reminder. After the New Year, I will take your aunt to the hospital for a full-body check-up. If your aunt is sick, we will find a way to cure her."

Pei Ziheng nodded obediently, but he felt relieved in his heart.

Now, my aunt should be saved, right? ...

"Mom, I can't finish it."

As soon as they sat down at the dinner table, the twins started chattering.

Pei Wenping scooped two glutinous rice balls from her daughter's bowl, and used a spoon to scoop away the yolk of the poached egg from her son's bowl, while scolding: "One has a small stomach, and the other is picky. They are older brothers and sisters, so why don't they learn from Ziheng?"

Pei Ziheng was eating hard. Hearing this, he looked up at the twins and said sweetly to Pei Wenping, "The dumplings made by my aunt are delicious!"

Pei Wenping was coaxed into smiling for the first time, "Ziheng, be good. After dinner, auntie will give you New Year's money."

"Thank you, auntie."

Chen Xiaochao was unhappy, his mouth pouted like a bottle of oil hanging from it, "What about me? I want lucky money too."

Chen Xiaolu also raised her head, but did not ask for it directly like her brother Chen Xiaochao.

Pei Wenping glared at her son and asked, "Didn't your aunt give it to you last night?"

"That doesn't count! You promised to give my sister and me New Year's money, you can't go back on your word!"

Seeing her son about to make a scene, Pei Wenping hurriedly stopped him, "Here, here, here, eat quickly. You can have more after you finish eating."

Only then did Chen Xiaochao happily concentrate on eating the dumplings.

Seeing Shen Mingzhu looking at the twins and laughing, Pei Wenping explained embarrassedly, "My Xiaochao has been like a naughty monkey since he was young. He is very noisy. You eat yours and leave him alone."

"It's okay. It's rare for my breakfast table to be so busy."

Pei Yang joked with her, "It's okay if you like excitement. Let's have two more children."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Mingzhu rolled her eyes like a Sichuan opera performer.

Pei Wenping also glared at her brother, "You think giving birth is so easy? You don't suffer."

This immediately annoyed the two women at home. Pei Yang smiled and explained: "I was joking. Having Ziheng and Guoguo at home is enough."

Breakfast ended in a lively atmosphere.

In Fengcheng, there is a custom of visiting relatives on the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Pei Wenping is a married woman, and according to the rules, she should visit relatives on the Chen family's side.

However, Shen Mingzhu didn't care about the rules and directly asked Pei Wenping to take the twins with them out.

As soon as I walked out of the door, I ran into Zhao Dafa's family who came to pay New Year's greetings.

"Sister, Xiao Pei, Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year, Brother Zhao, Sister Zhou, please come in."

The adults walked home talking and laughing, while Zhao Yun and Pei Ziheng gathered in the yard, chattering and showing off their New Year's money.

Liang Xiaowen had never seen twins before. She looked up and down at Chen Chaolu beside Pei Ziheng, "Who are you?"

Zhao Yun said, "This is Ziheng's cousin, you can call her Sister Xiaolu."

Liang Xiaowen acted as if she didn't hear anything. She pushed Chen Xiaolu aside and stood next to Pei Ziheng.

"Pei Ziheng, are you going out to visit relatives? When will you be back? I have a question that I don't know how to do. When you come back, come to my house and teach me."

Pei Ziheng replied coldly: "I'm busy."

Liang Xiaowen pouted, then smiled again, "I'll go talk to Aunt Mingzhu. You can't just ignore her words, right?"

Pei Ziheng glanced at her coldly, "You try it."

Liang Xiaowen stamped her feet, "My brother is so stupid, but you are willing to teach him, why don't you teach me?"

Zhao Yun proudly embraced Pei Ziheng, boasting, "Compared with me, when I met Ziheng, you were nowhere to be found."

"You just knew me a year earlier, what's so great about that?"

"It's more than just knowing each other for a year. We are real brothers. Our friendship is life-long and unmatched."

The brother and sister were arguing when Zhou Hui came out and called a few children in to receive their New Year's money.

The six children swarmed into the house.
