Time is like quicksand, and during the days of the Shen family, the priest has lived an unprecedented peace.

No longer have to dig through garbage and pick up waste to fill your stomach, no longer have to be beaten and driven away by your mother and others, and no longer have to endure all kinds of ill-intentioned coveting and touching.

Si Mu lay in the warm bedroom, no longer having frostbite on his hands and feet, he always felt that this might be a sweet dream, but fortunately he woke up in the morning and he was still in the warm bed.

Shen Nian took him to the army to see the majestic old man Shen, the old man stared at the thin and cowardly boy brought by his granddaughter for a long time, and finally sighed and didn't say anything.

I met Shen's father and Shen's mother in the video, they felt most pity for this poor child, and their daughter's idea was too resolute, what else could they do but accept it.

Yang Chunting was sentenced to more than ten years, and the procedures for Si Mu's adoption by the Shen family were also completed, Shen Nian did not change Si Mu's surname for the sake of the plot, and finally Si Mu became Shen Nian's younger brother as the adopted son of the Shen family.

The winter snow is melting, the spring breeze is warming up, and the woods in the mountains are sprouting.

The Shen house for the New Year is the most lively time, the Shen family, which is deserted on weekdays, hangs lanterns and sticks the Spring Festival couplets and red blessings, and the relatives of the Shen family who are busy with work and rarely come back all gather together, and they are filled with lively laughter and laughter everywhere.

The Shen family is thin compared to other powerful families, and now there are only three generations, and under the old man Shen are the three brothers of the Shen family. Shen Nian's father, Shen Pei, is the eldest son, he and Sun Ru are both national treasure-level scientists, and Shen Nian, who got married late, is the youngest child of the Shen family.

Shen Pei's two younger brothers, one followed the old man to join the army and died in the mission, the other was in politics, and his status in the political world was not low, and the juniors also made their own achievements in different fields. The Shen family is gentle and solemn, and serves the people for the people, so although the Shen family is small, they are all outstanding pillars.

In order to facilitate the unified reception, the Shen family will hold a banquet outside the year to invite some relatives and acquaintances, friends and partners.

In the lively inner hall, Shen Nian, who was dressed in festive and lovely clothes, took the priest to greet the elders of the Shen family one by one.

After several months of hard work by doctors, nutritionists and chefs of the Shen family, Si Mu's originally yellow-skinned little face gradually became whiter and fatter, and the delicate facial features of the fleshy little face became more brilliant.

Therefore, the elders looked at the face of Shen Pei and his wife, coupled with Shen Nian's tricks and the boy's well-behaved, although they were a little alienated from the new member of the Shen family, they were generally more kind and kind.

"Hello Uncle Ma, Happy New Year, I wish you all the best......"

"Aunt Liu, you are so beautiful today......"

Shen Nian tossed and turned between the adults, laughing so much that his face was about to crack, and the flesh of his cheeks was still pulled from time to time. But for the sake of the red envelope's face, Shen Nian smiled at the care of all the elders without complaint.

Every Chinese New Year, Shen Nian is undoubtedly the most popular child, because she knows etiquette with a sweet mouth, does not cry, does not make trouble, and is quite rare among a group of children who love to play and make trouble.

Shen Nian, who had finished communicating, took Si Mu to squat in the corner where no one was paying attention and counted the red envelopes, while pointing out Si Mu's performance with experience, teaching him how to get more red envelopes through efficient communication in this special New Year.

Si Mu, who was in contact with the upper class for the first time and talked to many big people, was inferior and awkward at first, and he didn't dare to say a few more words, but fortunately he followed behind Shen Nian, and she took on most of the battlefield.

Seeing Shen Nian talking to people, talking nonsense, and making people laugh in a few words, in stark contrast to the children of the same age next to him, the shocked Si Mu gradually relaxed, and began to adapt and light up his social skills.

"You will experience many of these scenes in the future, although they are very powerful, but the essence is just a person, just calm and sincere with people." Shen Nian counted the number of red envelopes, looked at the boy's big sparkling eyes, and felt that it was time to establish the child's correct concept of interpersonal communication.

Si Mu blinked his big moist and deep eyes and nodded obediently.

Shen Nian was cute, this kid is really getting more and more cute, this face looks so good! She controlled her expression and snatched the red envelopes in his hand with a calm face: "I'll put these red envelopes away for you first, you are still too young to use the money, and I will pay you back when you grow up." ”

Si Mu nodded obediently: "Okay." ”

Shen Nian couldn't help but smile and nodded, very satisfied with his younger brother's performance. Before she could react, her head was suddenly rubbed hard, and a laughing voice sounded behind her: "Hiding here again to count money?" ”

Shen Nian turned his head to see his straight and slender legs, and looked up to see someone shouting happily: "Third brother!" Happy New Year, I wish you a high rise and prosperous official luck! ”

Shen Qing couldn't cry or laugh when he saw Shen Nian's flattery, and when he saw the slightly cramped Si Mu next to him, his smile was a little more restrained, and Shen Nian pulled Si Mu to open his mouth as if nothing happened: "Brother, he is my younger brother, Si Mu." Then he motioned to the priest to call him.

Si Mu looked at the sharp-eyed man opposite, and the strong sense of oppression seemed to make him have nothing to hide, and said hello in a low voice: "Brother, Happy New Year." ”

Shen Qing nodded coldly, and Shen Nian, who was beside his leg, took his hand and said, "Brother, you should give us a red envelope!" ”

Obviously not wanting him to embarrass the pastor, Shen Qing glanced at her with a little meaning. Shen Nian's expression remained unchanged, staring at him with big bright eyes.

Shen Qing couldn't do anything about her, sighed, took out two red envelopes and handed them to them, and laughed helplessly: "I'm not married yet, it's not right to ask me for red envelopes." ”

"My brother wants to get married, great, I must tell my second uncle!" Shen Nian, who was busy accepting the red envelope, returned with a look of surprise.

Shen Qing, who was caught in the lifeline, immediately begged for mercy: "Don't don't, my brother said just now, I didn't want to get married, don't talk too much." ”

Shen Nian saw that Shen Qing had helped her with a lot of things, and she wouldn't really be embarrassed for him, so she nodded obediently and revealed the matter.

Shen Qing was a little angry by her fearless appearance, but if he really dared to bully this girl, the Shen family would probably not let him go.

He put away his smile, pulled Shen Nian over, and said with a straight face: "Xiao Nian, don't interfere in the incident you told me before, you are still a lot younger, and things will threaten your safety, and then I will tell my aunt and uncle." ”

Who hasn't had a handle these days, Shen Nian immediately nodded and sincerely promised that he would obediently stop causing trouble in the future, and Shen Qing finally let her go when he saw her confession.

Turning his head, he saw the taciturn Si Mu on the side, staring at him with eagle-sharp eyes: "Your biological mother's matter has passed, I don't care what you were like in the past, and you will be obedient in the Shen family in the future." ”

The boy nodded obediently and meekly like a lamb, and his drooping eyes hid endless coldness.

In the bright and warm banquet hall, elegant music and whispered conversations were mixed, but the pastor standing in the corner felt that he had returned to the past in an instant, back to the red-lit house.

"Brother, if you don't go over, my little uncle will come to you." A familiar voice rang out, calling back all his thoughts.

Shen Qing followed his sister's eyes and saw his mother who was socializing with a group of women over there and didn't forget to signal to him, sighed deeply in his heart and walked over.

Shen Nian, who sent the person away, turned his head and took the boy's hand and walked to the restaurant: "I'm hungry, let's go eat." ”

Si Mu looked at the girl who was pulling him in a daze, as if in her eyes, everything he had was not worthy of doubt, and all the past was not important.
