Shen Chengyi felt like he was shot while lying down. He glared at Shen Xiaohu who ran into the yard with something in his hand, and leaned close to Su Yuehua's ear and said, "Xiaohu, this kid, I don't know where he picked these yellow flowers, throw them away quickly. This trick is a little biting, don't bite the kid then."
Su Yuehua stopped and turned around with her eyes wide open. "You are just jealous that Xiaohu is more romantic than you. I won't throw it away. I will find a can to put it in later."
After saying that, she walked quickly into the house holding the child.
Shen Chengyi was left alone holding the child standing there, he took Shen Yuchen’s chubby hand and said, “Son, let’s not learn from your brother Xiaohu and give those flashy things.”
Shen Yuchen seemed to understand, and babbled something with his little mouth open.
Seeing this, Shen Chengyi smiled and said, "Son, do you agree with what Dad said? If we want to give a gift, we should give something practical."
Su Yuehua walked into the house, put Shen Yuning, who was in her arms, on the kang in the main room, and let her play with Shen Anan. She turned around and walked in front of Shen Chengyi, and heard what he said to his son. She took his son from him in anger, "You are not as popular as Xiaohuzi, and you have no sense at all. Didn't you see that the eldest brother and others were moving things into the house? Why are you still standing here stupidly?"
Chen Chengzhong walked into the yard carrying a bag of flour from the jeep, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, why do you bring food with you after coming all the way home? It's so heavy. We have food at home. Can we give you less food?"
"Brother, grandma asked you to take it. Anyway, you have a car. I also bought gifts for you and sister-in-law. I will give them to you later." While Su Yuehua was speaking, Shen Chengyi had already taken the bag of noodles from Shen Chengzhong's shoulder.
Chen Chengzhong straightened his back and said politely: "Thank you, sister-in-law, you are always so thoughtful."
Inside the main house
The children were having fun on the kang, and Bai Xiuying looked a little embarrassed. She poured a glass of water and handed it to Mrs. Rong, "Have some water."
Mrs. Rong took the glass with one hand and held Bai Xiuying's hand, which she wanted to withdraw, with the other hand, "Yingying, don't you remember your mother?"
Bai Xiuying pulled her hand back from Mrs. Rong, clasped her hands together, and said nervously, "I don't remember many things from my childhood. After Yuehua called me, I kept trying to recall my childhood. I only remember that I was sick when I was a child, and my mother was always by my side. Not long after I woke up, my grandfather received a letter saying that my parents had passed away. Later, my grandfather got the news that the enemy was going to bomb in advance, so he took me, my mother, and Uncle Mu to flee to the northeast."
Su Yuehua walked into the room and happened to hear Bai Xiuying talking about the past. She then asked, "Mother, is the Queen your aunt?"
She has always been curious about who the empress Bai Xiuying mentioned is. The fact that Old Master Bai took her with him when he fled must mean that she has a special relationship with the Bai family.
Bai Xiuying shook her head, "No, the Queen has been with me since I was a child, and I have always called her the Queen."
Old Madam Rong frowned slightly, as if she remembered something, and suddenly asked, "Is your mother's name Bai Cui'e?"
"Yes." Bai Xiuying nodded repeatedly and said, "That's how Grandpa calls her mother."
Old Mrs. Rong looked at Bai Xiuying with tears in her eyes and asked with a choked voice, "Are Bai Cui'e and your Uncle Mu Mu still here?"
"They are all gone." This is the past that Bai Xiuying is most reluctant to recall. Tears flashed in her eyes. "Uncle Mu was protecting my grandfather and me when we were fleeing, but he was beaten to death by bandits."
"My queen." When she mentioned Bai Cui'e, she took a long time to continue, "Grandpa passed away not long after taking us to Kaoshantun. My queen had to live with me alone. But there were always those people with bad intentions in the village who wanted to bully us. Later, my queen was introduced to a family surnamed Wang and married. At first, the man treated my queen well, but later, I don't know where the rumor came from, saying that my queen was a concubine who escaped from a wealthy family, and I was the bastard born of her and a farmhand. From then on, the man surnamed Wang often beat and scolded me and my queen. Within two years, my queen fell ill and the man surnamed Wang wanted to sell me."
"When the queen found out that the Wang family wanted to sell me for money, she asked me to dig out the money that my grandfather had hidden and ask Cheng Yi's father to buy me. At that time, Cheng Yi's father had already joined the army, so the Wang family didn't dare to offend him."
"Shen's parents also wanted to leave a descendant for Cheng Yi's father, so they held a wedding for us, and we had Cheng Zhong the following year."
After listening to Bai Xiuying's story, Mrs. Rong hugged her and burst into tears, "I am sorry for you, my poor child, wuwu."
Lin Hongmei was worried about Mrs. Rong's health and kept trying to persuade her.
Bai Xiuying gently patted Mrs. Rong on the back and comforted her, "Mom, you see I'm doing well now, aren't I? I'm already very grateful that God has allowed us to be together again."
After crying, Mrs. Rong felt much better. She took the handkerchief handed to her by Lin Hongmei, wiped the tears from her face and said, "Xiuying, take me to worship your grandfather and your nurse Xiu'e tomorrow. I can only repay what I owe in my next life."
As she spoke, Mrs. Rong's tears flowed again.
The three little guys had been sitting in the car all day, and their eyelids were drooping. Shen Yuyan was even more tired from playing with Shen Anan, so he closed his eyes and fell asleep directly on the kang.
Su Yuehua held back her laughter and shouted to Chen Chengyi to take the three children to her room.
When the family finished dinner, it was already late, and Shen Chengyi had just walked into the bedroom with Su Yuehua when Shen Xiaohu followed, “Second Aunt, I have something to talk to you about.”
Shen Chengyi stood in front of Su Yuehua with a serious face, looked down at Shen Xiaohu and said, “Why are you running over here? Didn’t I ask you to take Uncle Xiao Zhang to live at your uncle’s house?”
The Shen family had only three bedrooms, and Mrs. Rong and Lin Hongmei could just sleep together with Bai Xiuying and Shen Lili. It was difficult to arrange for Xiao Zhang, a grown man, so Shen Xiaohu could only take him to stay at Uncle Shen's house.
"Why are you so fierce? I won't compete with you for your wife. I'm just talking to my second aunt." Shen Xiaohu was still a little afraid of Shen Chengyi, but he still refused to accept it.
Su Yuehua held back her laughter and patted Shen Xiaohu's shoulder, then took out a handful of candy from her coat pocket, "It's late today, if you have something to say, we'll talk about it tomorrow, take this candy and eat it with Xiaohui from your uncle's house."
"Thank you, Second Aunt." Shen Xiaohu thanked her, reached out to grab the candy in Su Yuehua's hand, put it in his coat pocket, and ran away.
Shen Chengyi locked the door of the room, and immediately put on a smiling face. He hugged Su Yuehua's slender waist from behind, and said as he walked to the kang: "Wife, this is our bridal chamber. We wasted it when we were young and ignorant. We must make up for it tonight."
