Chapter 162 New Year’s Eve
Chapter 162 New Year’s Eve
It wasn't until noon that Shang Yanfang and Zhao Shiya appeared in everyone's sight.
Before that, Shang Yanfang had been eavesdropping for a while inside the house.
Her sister-in-law felt embarrassed because she woke up late, so she was angry with her older brother.
I don't know how his older brother managed to appease him, but in the end they all left the house together.
"Mom, this is my wife, Zhao Shiya. You can just call her Shiya," Shang Guohua introduced to the group.
"Shiya, come here, this is a gift from your mother. Take it." This morning, when Shang's mother learned that her son and his wife had already registered their marriage, she quickly prepared a red envelope.
"Hello, sister-in-law," Shang Guokang, the one with the most mouth, spoke first.
"Little brother, Happy New Year." Zhao Shiya seemed a little shy.
"Sister-in-law, this is a wedding gift for you two." Shang Yanfang went into her space early in the morning to prepare a pair of couple watches.
"Little sister, these are too valuable, we can't accept them." Zhao Shiya quickly refused, looking at the two watches.
"Sister-in-law, please accept this! It's a small token of our appreciation from Jianguo and me. Besides, my brother has always been very good to me," Shang Yanfang said playfully.
In the traditional Chinese manner of pulling and pushing, after a full five minutes, and with Shang Guohua's consent, Zhao Shiya accepted the pair of watches.
There weren't many people at home at noon, so Shang's mother simply cooked a meal; the main event was in the evening.
During this time, Zhao Shiya felt that as a newlywed daughter-in-law, she should help her mother-in-law cook.
However, they were ruthlessly driven away by Shang Mu, while Gao Jianguo and Shang Guohua helped Shang Mu cook in the kitchen.
“Sister-in-law, come sit down and help me take care of the children! My husband and older brother are with Mom! My brother and his family help with the cooking at our house.” Shang Yanfang patted the seat next to her.
Zhao Shiya sat down and looked at the three chubby little ones. "Little Mei, how old are they? They look so cute."
“Sister-in-law, they’re already seven months pregnant,” Shang Yanfang said after a moment’s thought.
"That's great, these three kids are all so cute and chubby." Zhao Shiya patted each of the little ones' heads one by one.
The little ones thought they were being played with by one person and waved their hands.
In the evening, the whole family returned home. Today is Lunar New Year's Eve, and next year we will have a one-day holiday for the Spring Festival.
The family was gathered together making dumplings, while Shang's mother and several helpers were preparing a big meal.
The three mischievous little ones saw the adults gathered together and wanted to join in the fun.
The father gave each of his children a small piece of dough to play with.
The little boy looked at the dough with curiosity, kneaded it, and then tried to put it in his mouth.
"Sweetie, you can't eat that." Shang Yanfang quickly stopped the three children from trying it.
"Wah, wah wah wah," the little brat protested.
"Sweetie, let's have some snacks. Stop fooling around." Taking advantage of a moment when no one was looking, Shang Yanfang secretly took out a bag of small steamed buns from her spatial storage, concealed in her coat pocket.
The little cub sat there obediently, waiting for its mother to feed it.
Shang Yanfang fed the cubs one by one until they stopped crying before she stopped what she was doing.
Dinner was exceptionally lavish; Gao Jianguo even made a bowl of meat porridge to improve the children's diet.
This allowed the little ones to experience the festive atmosphere of the Chinese New Year.
After a long day of hard work, Mrs. Shang felt very gratified looking at the table full of children.
This year, their entire family was finally together.
During the meal, Shang's mother even allowed Shang's father to drink alcohol. Shang's father took the wine glass, clinked it with the others, and drank it down.
By the end of the evening, Shang's father was completely drunk, and it was Shang Guohua and Shang Guoqiang who helped him back to his room.
Gao Jianguo and Shang Yanfang took the children back to their room while they were drinking. They were going to visit the military compound tomorrow to extend New Year's greetings, so they couldn't afford to be late.
"Big sister, Shiya, you two go back and rest first. We can take care of things here," Shang Guohua said to his wife and sister.
"Okay, brother. Then my sister-in-law and I will go back to rest first," Shang Yanyan said before Zhao Shiya could speak, and then she ran away.
Zhao Shiya wanted to stay and help out, but Shang Guohua eventually coaxed her back to her room.
Only the three Shang brothers were left there to clean up the mess.
"Big brother, how did you and sister-in-law meet? I've never heard you mention it before?" Shang Guokang asked his older brother with a gossipy look.
"It's nothing, I just rescued her during a mission," Shang Guohua said with a slight smile.
"Oh my, big brother, this is a story of a hero saving a damsel in distress and then offering himself in return!!!" Shang Guokang said mockingly to his older brother.
"Get lost, what are you going to do? What major do you want to study?" Shang Guohua jokingly scolded his younger brother, teasing him.
"Big brother, I want to study medicine," Shang Guokang said casually.
“Studying medicine is a good thing, study hard in the future! Second brother, what about you? What do you want to do in the future?” Shang Guohua looked at his second brother. All three of his younger siblings had been admitted to university, and he wondered what his younger brother’s plans were.
"Brother, I want to make money," Shang Guoqiang said earnestly.
When he was reinstated at university, he was already thinking about what he should do: continue his studies, or...?
Finally, with the encouragement of his younger sister and brother-in-law, he realized that he wanted to make money, lots and lots of money.
"Making money? Are you short of money right now?" Shang Guohua looked at his younger brother, who didn't like studying, with a puzzled expression. It seemed like the family had never lacked money for him! Or had something happened without his knowledge?
"Brother, I have enough money to spend, but I feel it's not enough. I can't even buy a house." Shang Guoqiang was shocked by his brother-in-law's 20,000 yuan.
He also felt that making money was a meaningful thing because his younger sister had bought clothes for the family that day.
He also wants to earn money, to buy a house, to buy clothes, and to take his family on trips. These are all things he wants to do.
"Alright! When you're making money, you need to be careful," Shang Guohua was convinced by his reasoning and didn't refuse, but just reminded him to be careful.
Soon, the group tidied up the table, and the bowls and plates were washed clean with the three brothers' combined efforts.
"Alright, go to sleep early! We'll be busy tomorrow," Shang Guohua said to the group.
“Yes, brother. You should go to sleep too,” Shang Guoqiang and Shang Guokang glanced at their elder brother and went upstairs.
Shang Guohua checked the gate again and then went back to his room to rest. As for how he rested, only the person involved, Shang Yanfang and her husband who lived next door, and the moon in the sky knew.
In the very end, the scene ended with a "bastard" and the two of them having sex, and then they spent the New Year "together".
