If Jiang Chunlin hadn't mentioned the Shen family, Shen Qinghe would have forgotten about Yu Jinchan and Shen Jun.
These are the excellent family members that Qi Qingmei specially arranged for her in the book.
"Well done!" Shen Qinghe stood on tiptoe and kissed Jiang Chunlin on the corner of his mouth. "This is a reward for you, but don't pay attention to them in the future. They have nothing to do with me now!"
"Then why were you crying just now?" Jiang Chunlin was suspicious, "Aren't you crying because you thought of them?"
Shen Qinghe didn't know how to explain it, so she said perfunctorily, "I won't do that again in the future."
Jiang Chunlin nodded and glanced at Shen Qinghe's belly. "From now on, I will take care of you and my daughter together. You are both my daughters."
Shen Qinghe didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Ailan is asleep. I will sleep on my side with mother and Ailan tonight, and you can sleep with father."
Jiang Chunlin's body stiffened. Can't he sleep with his wife in his arms on New Year's Eve?
He was thinking in his mind, why not beat up Shen Jun again? !
"Ailan is in a bad mood. I want to keep her at our house for the New Year. Do you agree?" Shen Qinghe's words were meant to negotiate, but her tone was unquestionable.
Jiang Chunlin took Shen Qinghe into his arms and said, "You have the final say in our family!"
Shen Qinghe was stunned. She stood on tiptoe and kissed Jiang Chunlin on the corner of his mouth, and whispered, "I will make it up to you after the New Year!"
"How to compensate?" Jiang Chunlin asked with little interest.
Shen Qinghe cleared her throat and said, "It's almost four months now, I can do that now."
Jiang Chunlin didn't react at first, but then his eyes flashed green, "Really?"
"Well, as long as the amplitude is not too big and you don't press on my stomach." Shen Qinghe covered her hot face with her hands.
She is becoming more and more shameless. She can actually say such words.
Jiang Chunlin said excitedly, "Okay!"
After He Xiuyun heard about Luo Ailan's situation, she immediately said, "Ailan, if you don't mind, you can be my goddaughter. I will love you as much as Qinghe in the future."
It has always been He Xiuyun's regret that she doesn't have a daughter in this life.
She knew that some people were old-fashioned and favored boys over girls, but she never expected a mother to treat her daughter like this.
"Godmother!" Luo Ailan responded crisply.
Every time she went to Shen Qinghe's house, she was particularly envious when she saw He Xiuyun's meticulous care for her.
She dreamed of having a mother like this.
"Hey!" He Xiuyun responded and said with a smile, "Tomorrow is the first day of the Chinese New Year. From now on, you are my daughter!"
Luo Ailan smiled with tears in her eyes.
He Xiuyun got up at dawn on the first day of the new year.
He tucked the quilt into Shen Qinghe and Luo Ailan and tiptoed out.
Luo Ailan slowly opened her eyes and grinned.
Godmother is so nice!
This was a treatment she had never had since she was a child.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, she is the first one to get up. She has to cook dumplings for the whole family and fill the kettle with water. Others will get up only after the dumplings are cooked.
When He Xiuyun arrived at the kitchen, Liu Hongmei and Chen Fenxia were already there.
When they saw He Xiuyun, they all smiled and said.
"Happy New Year, Mom!"
"Happy New Year!" He Xiuyun said happily.
After He Xiuyun left, Luo Ailan also got up.
"Godmother, I'll help you!"
"You're not needed. Just stay with Qinghe and sleep for a while." He Xiuyun reached out and gently pushed Luo Ailan.
This woman is pitiful. The dumplings are already wrapped and just need to be cooked.
"Godmother, I can't sleep. I'll light a fire for you." Luo Ailan looked around, picked up the gourd ladle and scooped the water in the bucket into the pot, then sat in the kitchen and lit the fire skillfully.
Liu Hongmei and Chen Fenxia looked at each other.
Why does Luo Ailan call He Xiuyun godmother?
He Xiuyun motioned for the two to come out. She did not tell them about Luo Ailan's family situation, but only told them that she adopted Luo Ailan as her goddaughter.
Liu Hongmei and Chen Fenxia also liked Luo Ailan very much, so naturally they would not object.
Luo Ailan made the fire, He Xiuyun turned the stove to cook dumplings, and Liu Hongmei and Chen Fenxia prepared four cold dishes.
After the meal was ready, He Xiuyun went to call Shen Qinghe to get up.
The boys ran away with their pockets full of disassembled firecrackers.
Jiang Chunshan stood on the side of the road, made a trumpet shape with his hands, and called the boys to come back for dinner.
"Yuyang, Yuping, Yuhua, Yujun, Yufeng, come back quickly to eat dumplings!"
I called out three times but no one responded.
Jiang Chunshan rolled his eyes, put his hands to his mouth and shouted, "There are coins in the dumplings. Whoever eats more has a greater chance of winning!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the five boys rushed back one after another.
Jiang Chunshan smiled triumphantly, and led the five boys home with a smile.
You little brat, if you want to fight with me, you'll have to eat for a few more years!
"Grandma, I want to eat dumplings."
"Grandma, I want to eat coins."
The five boys shouted one after another, and the chattering made He Xiuyun's head hurt.
If it wasn't the New Year, she would have given everyone a slap on the face.
"Speak nicely, why are you eating the coins?" He Xiuyun asked.
"Mom, it's nothing, just dumplings." Jiang Chunshan said hurriedly for fear of being exposed.
He Xiuyun immediately understood that she had forgotten to put coins in the dumplings yesterday.
I guess the second brother came back to coax those guys back.
In this special era, most families can only eat meat dumplings during the Chinese New Year.
The Jiang family is living a comfortable life now. They can eat meat dumplings anytime they want. The boys are not interested in meat dumplings anymore.
"Only one coin is wrapped. Let's see who is the lucky one!" He Xiuyun said while scooping dumplings from the iron cage.
The five boys put their heads close to the bowl and stared at the dumplings in it carefully.
It's like you can see through the skin whether there is a coin inside.
In the end, naturally no one got the coin.
The five boys had bulging bellies from eating so much that they stared at their empty bowls and looked towards Jiang Chunshan.
Jiang Chunshan said with a smile, "I am this year's lucky guy!"
He opened his hand, and in his palm was a dime.
Of course, he didn't eat the coin.
The five boys have grown up and are not as easy to fool as they were when they were young.
Children are children after all. They don’t know when Jiang Chunshan ate the coin. They all look at this “lucky lump” with envy.
After dinner, Jiang Jianguo and He Xiuyun led the others for a stroll in the village.
When we see people, we greet each other.
Jiang Jianguo was wearing a brand new suit, with his hands behind his back, and greeting the villagers along the way.
My back is straighter than in previous years.
"Village Chief, Happy New Year!"
When he saw the village chief, his old classmate, he greeted him with a smile.
In the entire Taoyuan Village, the Jiang family has the largest number of members.
Four sons, five grandsons, and daughters-in-law made a huge group of people, which was quite spectacular.
The village chief also brought his family out to celebrate the New Year!
Seeing the group of people from the Jiang family, he felt a little depressed. He did not regret having few children, but he regretted that his son was not doing as well as the Jiang family's son.
"Happy New Year!"
No matter what he thought in his heart, the village chief always had a decent smile on his face.
When he saw Jiang Jianguo wearing a Zhongshan suit, his smile froze.
Qi Qingmei looked at the happy smile on Shen Qinghe's face, reached out and touched her flat belly, and almost bit her teeth with jealousy.
