Shi Jintao took Shi Jinlei out of the living room, went directly to the second floor, and entered the study.

This study was used by several of their brothers, and the old man's study and room were downstairs.

After the two of them sat down separately, Shi Jintao was able to ask about the current situation of the younger brother.

"How have you been doing, have you encountered any difficulties?" Shi Jintao looked at his little brother, and what emerged in his heart was a father's love.

At that time, their mother died of illness not long after giving birth to Xiaosi, and then Shi Yongzhi, the father, took the excuse of finding someone to take care of Xiaosi, and quickly married Yin Jie, a nurse who was serving Shi's mother who was seriously ill at that time, back to his family as a steproom.

At that time, because of Yin Jie's age and identity, he was strongly opposed by several brothers of the Shi family, but Shi Yongzhi didn't know what kind of ecstasy soup Yin Jie was used to, so he had to marry her, and it was not easy for anyone to oppose it.

In the end, Yin Jie still married into the Shi family and became the young stepmother of the Shi family brothers. Shi Yongzhi can't say what kind of character he is, he is so energetic, he is confused, he can jump his feet in popularity, if he is good, he can be regarded as an understanding person.

Although Shi Yongzhi had to marry a little girl as old as his eldest son, he also knew that for the benefit of several children, he had not given birth to a younger brother or sister to the Shi brothers over the years. So although Yin Jie has been married into the Shi family for so many years, she hasn't really gained much benefit, after all, she doesn't have any own children, and she is worried about the little thing in the old man's hand.

Before Yin Jie married into the Shi family, the brothers of the Shi family could see how big this girl's heart was. So after she married into the Shi family, Shi Jintao directly took his younger brother Shi Jinlei away, and he didn't worry about putting his ignorant brother under the nose of that woman.

It happened that Shi Jintao was newly married at that time, and Li Aiping was also a good woman, so in this case, she took on the responsibility of raising Shi Jinlei.

Therefore, Shi Jinlei should have been raised by his eldest brother and sister-in-law. When Shi Jinlei grew up, he didn't have much affection for Shi Yongzhi's father, and some of them were just responsibilities.

"No, it's not like you don't know me, big brother, I'll talk about something if there's something." Shi Jinlei looked at his eldest brother. A smile finally appeared on his face.

If it weren't for the big brother's request. This year, he spent it at home with Dandan, and he didn't have a sense of belonging to this family at all.

"Hmph, I just know your virtue, that's why I asked." Shi Jintao paused. I looked at the little brother's face. Only then did he ask tentatively. "Little Four, you're not too young, it's time to think about lifelong events. I know you don't like the girls you've been introduced to before. But this time your sister-in-law met a girl, it's really good, I've seen it too, or let your sister-in-law take that girl to the capital to play around in the future, and you help entertain you? ”

Shi Jintao is such a big chief, and at this time he is just a parent, a parent of a scheming child's lifelong event.

This topic is basically Shi Jinlei's taboo, but every time they meet, Shi Jintao, who is the eldest brother, has to be mentioned.

In previous years, as long as this topic was mentioned, Shi Jinlei would definitely have to turn his face, but this time it was unexpected by Shi Jintao.

"Big brother, you don't have to work for me, I have a girlfriend now." Shi Jinlei announced in a good mood. Although he told Li Dan that he would go with the flow, now that the eldest brother asked, he just said it naturally, and he should be able to say it in the past.

Shi Jinlei's answer made Shi Jintao dumbfounded, "Yes, I have a girlfriend, didn't I lie to my eldest brother?" ”

Shi Jintao didn't believe what he heard, he watched Xiao Si grow up, it can be said that the effort spent on Xiao Si is more than his own children, when Xiao Si reached puberty, he watched other people's children jump up and down, only his own children should still do something, he felt a little wrong, and later Xiao Si personally told him that he was not interested in girls, Shi Jintao was like a lightning strike.

But the reality is so cruel that you can't do anything if you want to change or correct him. When he, who is a brother and a father, finally takes the child as the foundation and reluctantly accepts the facts, Xiaosi tells him again that he is not interested in men.

This made Shi Jintao so worried that his hair was about to turn white, what kind of disease did his child have, why couldn't he be normal.

Since then, other people's parents have warned their children not to fall in love early, their families are good, and they have time to remind Shi Jinlei to look at the girls around them, in fact, girls are more interesting than books.

After talking about it for so many years, Xiao Si has never been moved, he didn't expect happiness to come so suddenly, Xiao Si actually said that he had a girlfriend.

Shi Jinlei thought of Li Dan, and the expression on his face softened.

"She's a good girl." Shi Jinlei said such a sentence, and the others refused to say more.

But this sentence is enough, the breath that Shi Jintao has been holding in his heart for all these years has finally cleared, and he can't help laughing.

"Okay, as long as you like it, big brother likes it, your vision big brother believes, hahahaha......"

The people downstairs heard Shi Jintao's laughter, Yin Jie glanced at Shi Yongzhi, and then pulled the corners of his mouth and said: "Hey, after so many years, no matter how hard we work, we still can't do it, Xiaosi is still the closest to Jintao." ”

Shi Yongzhi turned around and patted Yin Jie's little hand hooking his arm, and said comfortingly: "I know that you have worked hard all these years, and I have been wronged for the sake of Xiaosi, I know it in my heart." ”

Yin Jie's moved eyes were filled with tears, "Look at what you said, what kind of hard work I have, as long as the children are well, I can do anything." ”

Shi Yongzhi sighed and said, "Don't worry, Xiaosi will understand your motherly heart sooner or later." ”

The corners of Yin Jie's mouth twitched, but thinking of today's incident, she hurriedly knocked the side drum on Shi Yongzhi, "Old man, I don't think it's better to talk about Jiajia and Xiaosi today." You also know the temper of the little four, although we are parents, but I don't think he will listen to anyone except the eldest and the two. ”

An old man like Shi Yongzhi can't be agitated now, so he can't listen to anything he can't do. And it's his son's business, so Shi Yongzhi stalked his neck, "It's turned upside down, I'm his son, he must listen to my words, you don't have to worry about this, I'll tell him." ”

This is exactly what Yin Jie wants, she just wants Shi Yongzhi and Shi Jinlei to talk about this, if she speaks, it will definitely not work. She knew what the little cubs thought of her. But if this matter is said by the old man, then it is another matter, after all, no matter how bad the old man is, he is also Shi Jinlei's father. The father is the lord of the son. It has been taken for granted from ancient times to the present. Isn't it.

"You can take your breath away, it's not a big deal, but don't make you angry. What should I do? Yin Jie said with a distressed face.

The old man pulled his little daughter-in-law to tell his heartfelt here, and Zhou Li pouted disdainfully on the sofa, and then approached Shi Jinyuan and pulled the hem of his clothes.

"What for?" Shi Jinyuan frowned and asked in a low voice.

Zhou Li didn't speak, so she used her chin to snug at the old man.

Shi Jinyuan glanced over there, then lowered his head to focus on the newspaper in his hand, and said, "What should you do, what should you do." "It means that you don't see it, what are you still squeaking?

Zhou Li was not angry at all, and grinned happily, she just likes to watch these bad things of the old Shi family, who made her marry into the Shi family look down on her from top to bottom, just because she is the daughter of a merchant.

"What can I do here, I have a nanny for cooking, a sister-in-law for command, and I don't have my share in talking to the old man, you see that people put it tightly." Hmph, I'm here every year. Zhou Li elegantly picked up the teacup in front of her and took a sip, well, sweet and mellow, good tea.

Shi Jinyuan still didn't raise his head, and directly ordered: "Then you just shut up and take a good look." ”

Shi Jinyuan's relatives in his heart are only a few brothers and sisters, and as for the old man Shi who gave birth to them, he died when he insisted on marrying the little nurse, at least there is no place for him in his heart.

Zhou Li snorted twice, but she didn't say anything, just holding the teacup and drinking in disguised sips, but the rest of her eyes were always aimed at the two and a half centenarians who returned you and me.

I thought of it in my heart, I was really ashamed, I was so blatant in front of my juniors to show my affection, and I was not afraid of dirty other people's eyes.

In fact, Yin Jie did it on purpose, she just wanted these children of Old Man Shi to see it. How important she was in Old Man Shi's mind. Don't you want to see me, hmph, do you see it, your father treats me, do you dare to take me seriously?

Li Aiping was busy in the kitchen with the nanny, and by the way, he also listened to what happened at home during their absence.

Sister Ma is the nanny hired by Shi Jintao for the old man, which can be regarded as an ear at home. Shi Jintao's brothers don't think that Yin Jie, who is more than 20 years younger than Old Man Shi, can marry Old Man Shi because of true love, that is, there is a plan, because Yin Jie has no children over the years, and she is honest in the Shi family, the Shi brothers will tolerate her until now, but the precautions that should be taken are still necessary, otherwise it may not be stabbed in the back one day.

Li Aiping listened to Sister Ma whispering to her about Yin Jie's new news, her face was a little bad, the fourth child was brought up by her since she was a child, and it can be said that she is equivalent to her eldest son.

Li Aiping looked at his watch and said to his son who had been accompanying him all the time: "Shi Yan, you go upstairs and call your father and uncle, it's time to eat." ”

Shi Yan stopped and stood up from the chair, and asked before leaving, "Mom, do I need to remind my uncle?" He also heard Sister Ma's words just now, and he was very sneering at Yin Jie's desire to calculate his uncle.

Since he was a child, he has been following his uncle's ass, and he knows better than anyone how capable his uncle is, and that woman still wants to calculate his uncle, which is simply a fool's dream.

"You can do it yourself." Li Aiping waved his hand after speaking.

Shi Yan turned around and walked upstairs after a few steps, he didn't plan to say it, how boring it would be if he said it in advance, just think about it when he saw the woman and her niece's shriveled faces.

Li Aiping wiped his hands with a towel and said to Sister Ma: "Sister Ma, let's bow down all the prepared dishes to the table, lunch time is almost coming." ”

After giving the order, she turned around and walked into the living room, always with a gentle smile on her face, as if she didn't see Yin Jie, and said to Shi Yongzhi: "Dad, the meal is ready, let's start the meal." ”

The Shi family sat around the dining table.

The position is similar to that in the living room, Shi Yongzhi sits in the main seat, with Yin Jie on the left and Yin Jiajia on the right. Shi Jintao's family sat on Shi Yongzhi's right, and Shi Jinyuan's family sat on the left.

Shi Jinlei happened to sit opposite Shi Yongzhi.

"Old man, you are the head of the family, you can say a few words." Yin Jie sat on the side and said softly.

Shi Yongzhi laughed out loud by her sentence of the head of the family, picked up the wine glass on the table, moved forward, and said very imposingly: "Come, the new year is coming, I hope that in the coming year, you brothers can go to the next level in their careers and make greater contributions to the motherland and society." ”

After he finished speaking, he tilted his neck and dried the liquor in the wine glass.

The old man raised his glass, and of course the juniors below also raised their glasses, but they all pursed their lips and put them down.

The family feast has officially begun.

Everyone chatted while eating, most of them were Li Aiping and Shi Jinyuan asking about Shi Jinlei's recent situation, Shi Yan and Shi Qi didn't know what to say, and they were also talking and laughing quietly below, Zhou Li and her daughter talked.

It was to cool the old man in the first place.

"Come, old man, this is your favorite braised pork, you can taste it, how does Sister Ma make it today." Of course, Yin Jie also saw that everyone at the dinner table was doing their own thing, and she didn't put her and the old man in her eyes at all, and she was angry, but she didn't show it on her face at all, she was still so virtuous, "New Year's Day, don't be angry, be careful of your high blood pressure." The children have not seen each other for a long time, and it is understandable that they care for each other. ”

Her words sounded like persuasion, but they actually added fuel to the fire.

Sure enough, the old man was just a little depressed and poured himself a drink, so when she persuaded her, his anger became bigger, he slapped his chopsticks on the dining table with a snap, and shouted at Yin Jie with big eyes: "They haven't seen each other for a long time?" Is there a time when I haven't seen each other, and they care about each other? Why didn't I think to care about my father? ”

When the country was in trouble, he resolutely abandoned the peasants and joined the army and walked out of the countryside. He was lucky enough to have been seriously injured many times on the battlefield, but he survived in the end. According to the normal procedure, if an old Red Army like Shi Yongzhi survives that special era, the state will reuse and take care of it.

But at the beginning, due to various reasons, Shi Yongzhi did not sit in a very high position. A few years ago, after Shi Yongzhi retired from his job when he reached the age of age, he basically had nothing but a house of about 90 square meters and a pension of 1,800 yuan a month allocated to him by the state.
