Chapter 581: Family Reunion
On the evening of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Wang Cuimei invited everyone to come over for dinner.
At this time, Jiang Li was already two and a half months pregnant, and the elders in the family knew the news, so they were naturally very happy.
Now she is still a little pregnant, and her belly still looks flat.
Jiang Li came to her mother-in-law's house with gifts as usual, but found that there were a lot of people in the house today.
Jiang Li stood at the door and didn't go in, Shen Changan gently patted her shoulder and whispered to her.
"These are all relatives at home, they went abroad before, and this time they knew that I was married, so they rushed back for the Spring Festival."
Jiang Li nodded, and his heart was immediately relieved.
Sure enough, as soon as Jiang Li entered the door, her grandmother pulled her aside.
"Xiao Li, these are my children, and today I have the opportunity to introduce them to you."
"This is the second child, Shen Huanan, who usually settles abroad, and rarely comes back once in a few years. This is his daughter......"
Grandma patiently introduced, and Jiang Li also listened carefully.
Shen Changan has too many relatives in his family, and his names are somewhat similar, so he is a little confused when he listens to it.
Jiang Li greeted everyone with a smile, and then sat quietly aside.
After the grandmother introduced the specific situation, everyone began to dig out their pockets and get red envelopes for her and the two children.
With the heavy red envelope in his hand, Jiang Li was stunned.
How can adults also take red envelopes? Is this a foreigner's tradition?
Jiang Li thought quietly in his heart, Shen Changan saw through her thoughts, and explained with a smile.
"The new daughter-in-law must have a red envelope when she comes to the door, and there will be no more when she comes to the next time."
"I see."
After all, Jiang Li is someone else's daughter-in-law for the first time, and it is normal not to understand these rules.
Jiang Li accepted the red envelope with confidence, and there was still some faint happiness in his heart.
Jiang Li was pulled by his grandmother to chat with everyone for a while, and soon it was time for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.
There were so many people who came this time that one table could not sit down, and a total of two tables were opened.
One of the tables is the main table, and only the elders of the family can sit.
Grandma took Jiang Li's hand and had to let her sit beside her.
Shen Changan originally planned to take Jiang Li to sit at another table, but now he could only turn around and come over to accompany him.
"Go and go, you just sit over there, Xiao Li is enough to have me with you."
Shen Changan was just about to sit down, and he started to drive people away.
"Xiao Li has to be taken care of by me when she eats, and I will be where she is."
As soon as Shen Changan's words fell, there was a burst of laughter from the other table.
"Yo yo yo! Is this what my cold-faced and ruthless cousin of the old cadre would say? ”
"Cousin, you really love your sister-in-law!"
"Sister-in-law, you are so happy, I envy you a little!"
Shen Changan's younger siblings kept teasing him.
Shen Changan was not angry, but responded generously with a smile.
"You are still young, you will know when you marry a daughter-in-law."
Shen Changan served Jiang Li with vegetables in front of his elders.
Not only Shen Changan, but even grandma is very fond of Jiang Li.
Since Jiang Li married Shen Chang'an, it was as if he was wrapped in honey, and he was very happy every day.
After the meal, the men began to drink, and the women gathered around to chat and drink tea.
Today is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and the Shen family has a tradition of keeping the year.
"You can't stay up late with a baby."
"But it's just one day a year, even if I'm pregnant, I won't be able to stay up all night, right?"
Jiang Li lowered his voice and said weakly, Shen Changan's attitude was very resolute.
"I said no, I just can't!"
"Okay......"
Shen Changan had already begun to blow his beard and glare at her, how could Jiang Li dare not obey?
Of course, she knew that it was not good to stay up late when she was pregnant, but she just wanted to be willful.
Jiang Li originally wanted to accompany him, but in the end he was persuaded by Shen Changan to go back to the room.
Jiang Li lay down in the house early, and Shen Changan did not go down to keep the New Year, but sat on the edge of the bed to accompany her.
Since Jiang Li became pregnant, she has slept very unsteadily every night.
Therefore, every day before she goes to bed, Shen Changan will bring hot water to soak her feet, and gently massage his acupoints.
Every time Jiang Li soaked his feet, he felt warm all over his body.
Shen Changan pressed her again, and Jiang Li only felt that her whole body was crispy.
Shen Changan finished a set of procedures, and sure enough, there was a well-proportioned breathing sound in his ears.
Jiang Li was already asleep comfortably, and even his frowning brows were relaxed.
Shen Changan closed the window tightly and closed the thick curtains.
In this way, the sound outside could not be heard, and the room became dark, which was more suitable for Jiang Li to fall into a deep sleep.
Shen Changan walked out lightly, and did not forget to close the door when he left.
Shen Changan kept the New Year with the others, taking care of any small emotions of Jiang Yun and Jiang Yi.
Even if Jiang Li went to rest, they were still his favorite younger brothers and sisters.
Especially Jiang Yi, Shen Changan used to be his teacher, and he admired his perseverance at that time.
Now that Jiang Yi has become his brother-in-law, Shen Changan also knows more about him than before, so he naturally cherishes him even more.
12 o'clock came, and the bell of the New Year rang.
Wang Cuimei lit a string of firecrackers, and the sound of firecrackers could be heard in the distance.
The silence of the night is now extremely lively, and fireworks are set off in the distance.
Shen Changan put his arms around Jiang Yi's neck and followed him to look at the fireworks in the distance.
After the New Year, Shen Changan personally sent Jiang Li's mother's family back.
Shen Changan returned to the room lightly after washing.
Jiang Li still maintained the same posture he had left and slept very soundly.
Shen Changan got into the quilt, and waited until his body warmed up a lot, then he reached out and hugged Jiang Li.
When his hands were completely warm, Shen Changan put his hand on Jiangli's lower abdomen, which was still very flat.
The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he muttered softly.
"Am I going to be a dad again? My little Li can really be pregnant! ”
Shen Changan closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
In the next few days, Shen Changan's house was very lively.
These relatives ate at Shen Changan's house during the day and went to sleep at their grandmother's house at night.
Grandma's favorite thing to do was to bring her great-grandchildren, but now a bunch of grandchildren are around her, and the old people can't keep their mouths together happily every day.
Shen Changan's relatives came back from abroad, and they were a little nervous about time.
They stayed until the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, and they went back one after another if they couldn't even stay for the Lantern Festival.
Grandma stood guard at the door every day, watching her children and grandchildren leave one by one.
Until all the people were gone, she sighed heavily, and in an instant the whole person seemed to be much older.
"Grandma Great, don't be sad!"
"Great-grandma, you still have us!"
The two little ones rushed away, and one of them hugged one of Mrs. T's legs, which immediately coaxed her old man into a smile.
