Shen Haitao and Liu Fengyun were stunned for a moment, and then they said hello.
The old couple were so happy that their son brought back such a beautiful and sensible daughter-in-law. When they heard Cao Mengyuan's greetings, they responded excitedly.
"I'll serve you dumplings."
Liu Fengyun couldn't help but shed tears of excitement. She quickly wiped them away and said something before turning around and running to the kitchen.
"Auntie, I'm here to help too."
Cao Mengyuan rolled up her sleeves and followed Liu Fengyun into the kitchen.
"My child, I don't need your help..." Shen Haitao was stunned and quickly tried to persuade Cao Mengyuan.
"Dad, it's okay." Shen Dapeng smiled slightly.
"This child Mengyuan is sensible, you can't stop her. Brother-in-law, you don't have to worry about it." Liu Fengxia also laughed.
Although Shen Haitao said no more, a happy smile appeared on his face.
Several plates of steaming dumplings were quickly served. Shen Haitao was so happy that he dragged Shen Dapeng to have a few drinks with him, while Liu Fengyun was holding the dumplings hard for Cao Mengyuan, with happiness in the corners of her eyes.
After a few glasses of wine, Shen Haitao talked more and asked about Shen Dapeng's situation in the past few years.
"Brother-in-law, Dapeng is now very powerful and is now the chairman of Pengzhan Group."
After Shen Dapeng officially revealed her identity, Liu Fengxia no longer had the need to hide it in front of her sister and brother-in-law, so she recounted the actual situation over the years under the surprised eyes of Shen Haitao and Liu Fengyun.
"Dapeng, you are much more promising than me." After Shen Haitao finally believed it, he couldn't help but make a joke out of surprise, which made everyone laugh.
"Are you jealous of your son? We are already old, and we, the old couple, should be happy that our son has such a promising future."
Liu Fengyun deliberately rolled her eyes at Shen Haitao, and then looked at Shen Dapeng with a happy smile, "Dapeng, I didn't expect that you are developing so well now. Mom, my face is also shining."
"Dad, Mom, I have another wish when I come back this time, and that is to buy you a big house in the county so that you can have a happy old age!"
Shen Dapeng smiled and took his mother Liu Fengyun's hand and stroked it gently.
You raised me and I will raise you until you grow old.
It's not easy for my parents to raise me so well. Now that my parents are getting older day by day, I have to let my parents live a carefree, happy and healthy later life.
"Son, as long as everything is fine with you, your father and I will be satisfied..."
Liu Fengyun looked happy, her voice was choked, and she looked at her son in front of her with distress.
"Okay, sister, it's the Chinese New Year. It's also the first time for Mengyuan to come to our house. Can't you let her have a good meal of dumplings?" Seeing that Liu Fengyun was so moved that she almost wiped her eyes, Liu Fengyun hurriedly persuaded with a smile.
"Yes, yes, look at me..."
Liu Fengyun hurriedly wiped her eyes and greeted, "Come on, our family is finally together today. It's time to be happy. Eat dumplings and eat dumplings..."
There was a warm and happy scene in the living room, with bursts of joyful laughter coming from time to time.
After the meal, Liu Fengxia chatted with Shen Haitao and Liu Fengyun in the living room about the past few years, while Shen Dapeng took Cao Mengyuan out for a walk.
Unknowingly, the two of them arrived at the entrance of the former Qingshu High School.
The two people looked at the somewhat old gate, then looked at each other, smiled at each other, and then walked in through the ajar campus gate hand in hand with a tacit understanding.
Looking at the familiar campus, I recall every bit of my alma mater, as vividly as if it happened yesterday.
"Time goes by and never comes back. When I think of the three years here, they are all good memories."
Cao Mengyuan's eyes flashed with sudden realization, and she sighed softly.
"Yes, we were all young and full of energy at that time, full of expectations for the future!" Shen Dapeng breathed a sigh of relief.
That's right, young people in the past spent their youth fighting hard and sweating hard in this place, just to let their ideals fly freely in the days to come.
"I still remember your appearance at that time. You were introverted and rarely spoke." Cao Mengyuan thought of Shen Dapeng's appearance at that time and couldn't help but smile.
Shen Dapeng was stunned for a moment, then laughed softly, "I didn't expect that I would be like this in your mind at that time, but you were the same, too. You had a crush on me at that time, but you were timid. Sitting in the front row, you often looked back secretly.
I, I still remember that look..."
"I have a crush on you? You have a crush on me, okay?"
Seeing Shen Dapeng's snickering expression, Cao Mengyuan suddenly became unhappy. Her face was full of anger and she chased Shen Dapeng with an unconvinced look.
On campus, two young figures chased each other, accompanied by happy laughter from time to time.
Finally, the two of them stopped breathing.
The two people stood opposite each other, looking at each other affectionately, and did not speak for a long time.
"Once upon a time, we met here. After going through the ups and downs in the past few years, the two of us finally came together. Mengyuan, don't worry, I will definitely cherish this hard-won relationship in the days to come.
Treat you well!"
Holding Cao Mengyuan's gentle little hand, Shen Dapeng was filled with emotions. He looked at Cao Mengyuan's clear eyes and said softly.
Cao Mengyuan looked at Shen Dapeng emotionally, a warm current surged through her heart, and she couldn't help but throw herself into Shen Dapeng's arms.
Feeling Cao Mengyuan's body temperature and smelling the faint fragrance of her hair, Shen Dapeng felt a sense of security that he had never felt before...
What I didn't get in the previous life, I already have in my arms in this life.
Nothing is more exciting and satisfying than the reward after hard work.
The vow that was made here a few years ago, and when I returned here after struggling, the vow has come true, Shen Dapeng couldn't help but feel filled with emotion.
The happiest thing in life is to have a successful career, have the people you like by your side, have enough food and clothing, and live happily with the people you love most.
In his previous life, not only was his career in a mess, the person he loved most became someone else's wife, and his family suffered changes. All of this made Shen Dapeng in this life hold back his energy and achieve the two major blessings in life through his own efforts.
Looking back on the past, everything has become so beautiful.
Looking to the future, there are still many things that we need to face.
Standing at the end of 2006, Shen Dapeng was full of emotions and full of expectations. From now on, he will work with Cao Mengyuan and the friends around him to overcome difficulties and create a more brilliant future with even greater confidence.
Shen Dapeng gently stroked Cao Mengyuan's hair, with a smile on his lips.
The warm winter sun shone on the two of them, everything seemed so quiet, and time seemed to have stopped.
