Chapter 86: New Year's Greetings
Taking the apron, Shen Wan'er was in a good mood and said to Hu Yueyue: "I'll put it on, thank you." ”
Shen Zhao'er also said in a low voice, "Thank you." ”
Although the two sisters still look a little strange, they are much better than before, Hu Yueyue felt happy when she looked at it, the family just wants to be harmonious.
The three of them worked together to make a large table of dishes, and Da Zhuang and Erzhuang had never eaten such a hearty meal since they were so old.
Looking at the big fish and meat on the table, he was happy but a little afraid to put down his chopsticks, and looked at Shen Da and Hu Yueyue timidly, waiting for them to speak.
Although his son is not his own, he is now a family, looking at the two sons and two daughters sitting at the bottom, Shen Da was overjoyed, "Come, hurry up and eat, after eating for a while, I will set off firecrackers and have to keep vigil today." ”
Shen Da took the lead in using chopsticks, and the family ate in full swing.
"Eat."
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, Shen Zhao'er sandwiched a chicken leg into Shen Wan'er's bowl.
Although Shen Wan'er was unhappy in her heart, Shen Zhao'er was not an ignorant person, she thought about what Shen Wan'er said last night, and then she got up late.
I have to admit that what Shen Wan'er said makes sense, just fight for whatever you want, and it is not good to be blindly jealous of her.
was targeted for many days, and suddenly Shen Zhao'er was so good to her, Shen Wan'er couldn't help but be a little flattered, and looked at Shen Zhao'er in amazement, seeing that she lowered her head in shame.
Suddenly, her heart became smooth, and Shen Wan'er went straight to eat with chopsticks.
With Shen Wan'er's guidance, the dishes on this table are extremely delicious, although most of them are chicken, duck and fish, but they are not greasy, and the stomach of the family eating is round.
After the meal, Da Zhuang and Erzhuang, under the leadership of Shen Wan'er and Shen Zhao'er, both kowtowed to Shen Da.
“…… It's a New Year's greeting to my father. ”
The two of them are not too good at talking, and they can't say a few auspicious words of New Year's greetings back and forth, so they can only kowtow to Shen dryly.
But in this way, Shen Da can be regarded as satisfied, in previous years, the family was poor, and there was no silver for eating, let alone New Year's money, but now there are more children in the family, and the silver money is also loose, Shen Da happily wrapped a thick red envelope for Da Zhuang and Erzhuang.
It's only thirty or fifty yuan, which is not much, but it is still too much compared to the New Year's money received by other children in the village.
Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang had never received such a rich red envelope, and they couldn't help but feel a little at a loss for a while, looking at Hu Yueyue, not knowing whether they should accept it or not.
"Since your father gave it to you, then take it." Hu Yueyue said with a smile on the side.
She knew that the Shen family did not lack this New Year's money at all, although it was a bit too much for children, but it was always Shen Da's heart, how could she refuse the New Year's money?
Shen Da gave the New Year's money, and Hu Yueyue also pulled Shen Zhao'er and Shen Wan'er aside, and also gave them red envelopes.
"There is not much money, the left and right are a heart, don't dislike it."
Almost all the money in the whole family was earned by Shen Wan'er, and Hu Yueyue, who was less than one or two pieces of money, really felt that she couldn't take it out, but that's all the money in her hand, and she couldn't take out any more.
"What are these words, thank you!"
Shen Wan'er took the red envelope with both hands, and there was no dislike between her eyebrows, and Shen Zhao'er was the same.
Hearing her words, Hu Yueyue was slightly stunned, "What do you call me?" ”
After marrying into this family, her life has been much better, if there is any regret, it is that Sister Shen Wan'er has never called her mother.
This is also understandable, after all, the sisters have grown up, and it is already very good to be able to accept her to marry Shen Daben and have never treated her badly, although Hu Yueyue regretted it in her heart, she did not force it.
Now hearing Shen Wan'er call her like this, Hu Yueyue was a little unbelievable for a while.
The left and right have already been called, and it is not so awkward to come again, Shen Wan'er looked at her with a smile and repeated: "Mother." ”
"Eh, yes, good boy."
Hu Yueyue took Shen Wan'er and Shen Zhao'er's hands, almost bursting into tears.
She looked at Shen Zhao'er expectantly, hoping that Shen Zhao'er could also relax, but she turned her head and went to do her own thing as if she hadn't noticed.
Seeing this, Hu Yueyue couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but it was understandable, after all, Shen Zhao'er was older no matter what she said, and it was already very good to be able to accept her as the mistress of this house without embarrassment, and she couldn't force anything.
Wait, even a stone has a hot day, let alone a human heart?
After eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Shen Wan'er took Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang out to set off fireworks, because the two children were still young, so Shen Wan'er did not get the big fireworks, but just took a few small ones for them to play by themselves, and she herself was watching from the side.
"Looks like you like children."
Shen Zhao'er didn't know where to appear, standing beside Shen Wan'er, watching the joy of Da Zhuang and Erzhuang playing with her.
If the stepmother brings a boy, the daughter of the family will be a little wary and disgusted with them.
After all, the boy is going to inherit the family business, especially now that everything in the Shen family is brought by Shen Wan'er, isn't she worried that Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang will affect her interests in the future?
Shen Wan'er's thoughts, Shen Zhao'er was puzzled.
"Well-behaved and cute children are naturally likable." Although she was taken aback by Shen Zhao'er, Shen Wan'er didn't have much displeasure, and her eyes that were not covered by the veil showed a slight smile.
The sincere and innocent smile made Shen Zhao'er slightly stunned, and for some reason, she was relieved in her heart.
Although Shen Wan'er has a flawed face, her character is excellent, and it is not unreasonable for Jun Enyan to abandon her and choose Shen Wan'er.
She has her own people to admire, since Shen Wan'er and Jun Enyan have affection for each other, it doesn't make much sense for her to intervene sideways, and she will break up the home where she can finally see hope, which is not what Shen Zhao'er expects in her heart.
"You're old enough to make a promise."
Shen Zhao'er looked at her sideways, although the face under the veil was terrifying, but these eyes were very beautiful and lovely, and it could be regarded as the only place in Shen Wan'er's posture that could make people nod.
"I'm still young." Shen Wan'er didn't care, getting married too early was originally a bad custom, she didn't want to follow the bad habits here, even if she became an old girl? has a rich life, and she doesn't care about the opinions of others.
I don't know why, when Shen Zhao'er talked about getting married, Jun Enyan's face flashed in front of her inexplicably.
Shaking her head self-deprecatingly, how could Jun Enyan's identity be something that she could cling to at will as a peasant girl?
Shen Zhao'er didn't answer this question, whether it is small or not is not something that Shen Wan'er can say, and the relationship between her and Jun Enyan may not be successful, it is related to her own reputation, and she is not good to say.
"I heard my father say that next year I plan to let Da Zhuang and Erzhuang go to school, even if I can't take the imperial examination, I can't know a few words and I'm not blind." Shen Zhao'er shifted the topic to another place, she didn't want to imagine the future of Shen Wan'er and Jun Gongzi.
Whether it succeeds or not, she will not be comfortable in her heart.
It was not Shen Da's intention to let Da Zhuang Erzhuang study, but Shen Wan'er's proposal, knowledge changes fate.
"The left and right families are not short of money for the big and strong and the second Zhuang to study, but the second strong is still young, and I am afraid that he will have to be enlightened first, and he will not be able to study in two years."
There was no unhappiness in her tone, which made Shen Zhao'er look sideways.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Shen Wan'er touched her face a little uncomfortably, could it be that her veil was broken?
“…… Do you know that my father let Da Zhuang and Erzhuang go to study, and in the future, he will inherit the family business! ”
The money in the family was all earned by Shen Wan'er's skills, and Shen Da showed the intention of letting others take over, didn't Shen Wan'er feel a little unhappy in her heart?
Even if it was Shen Zhao'er, after knowing about this, he was still uncomfortable when he saw Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang.
If these two are their biological brothers, forget it, but after all, they are not the bloodline of the Shen family, and Shen Wan'er is Shen Da's biological daughter.
Now that Shen Da plans to hand over the family business to outsiders, isn't Shen Wan'er a little unhappy?
She didn't believe that Shen Wan'er had such a mind.
Hearing her words, Shen Wan'er almost laughed, "Where can our family inherit any family business?" ”
Whether it is food for the sky or incense floating in the city, it is Xiong San's industry, and it has nothing to do with their family, and the Shen family is just that bit of silver, where can there be any inheritance?
It was like a joke.
Shen Zhao'er didn't know how to answer for a while.
After a long pause, Shen Wan'er smiled and said, "If they really have a chance in the future, I will give them the silver to go out and break through by themselves, and they may not be able to break out of the world by themselves." ”
If there is no income, what if they give them food as the sky and incense all over the city? Sooner or later, they will all be defeated.
Shen Zhao'er was a little speechless for a while.
"Are you really willing to give this money?"
"What kind of virtue is Dad, you don't know? If the big and strong two strong have a future in the future, we can be regarded as having something to rely on. ”
Although Shen Wan'er is not rare to rely on anyone, it is still more convenient for men to go out in this world, and if she is obedient when she grows up in the future, it will be convenient for her to do a lot of things.
I can't always rely on Shen Da, while the big and strong are still young, won't it be a waste if I don't hurry up and cultivate them?
"I don't know what you're thinking!"
Shen Zhao'er has a little hatred that iron does not become steel, in her opinion, Shen Wan'er now has all the money in her hand, and she should grasp it tightly to make their sisters' dowry in the future, what is the benefit of giving it to outsiders?
Da Zhuang and Er Zhuang are not necessarily of the same heart as them, Shen Wan'er is so good to them now, she has developed a white-eyed wolf to see what to do with her!
Seeing her face full of indignation, Shen Wan'er said inscrutablely: "This is called investment!" ”
