As for the two sons, they are his father, Shen Haitao, and the uncle, Shen Haibo, who failed to live up to expectations and made grandma and father and son unable to recognize each other.
Completely different from his father, Shen Haitao, who is adventurous and upright, his brother-in-law Shen Haibo does not look like a member of the Shen family at all. He has neither inherited his grandfather's diligence nor learned from his grandmother's simplicity. Even his eldest brother is upright.
I haven't learned any of my advantages. To put it bluntly, I'm not even as good as my aunt and my sister-in-law, these two good old ladies.
I spent the whole day just fooling around and bragging after drinking, but there was one thing, and the only thing that made me stand out, and that was my beautiful handwriting. For this reason, my grandma even asked someone to find it for her brother-in-law.
Although I can't make a lot of money by working in an engraving agency, I can at least support my family.
But who would have thought that he would start a fight with the master within a few days, and the reason was even more ridiculous. Just because the master asked him to engrave the seal in block letters, and he felt that the running script was free and beautiful, but the customer was a civil servant, and the seal should be square.
, how could he be allowed to act recklessly? As a result, his good work was ruined after the master scolded him.
From then on, my brother-in-law hated injustice and blamed others all day long. He drank more and more fiercely. This is why he drank too much and started fighting with others. This is why his father wanted him to learn a lesson.
No matter what, I never expected that I would be sentenced to two years in prison. It was also because of this that my grandma broke away from the mother-son relationship with her father.
From the moment she entered the house until the afternoon when the aunt came back with a bag full of vegetables, grandma was chatting intimately with Liu Fengyun and Shen Dapeng, mother and son, while always leaving Shen Haitao aside. This was supposed to be the New Year's Eve moment when mother and son were reunited.
But it made it extremely embarrassing.
However, Shen Haitao has long been accustomed to it. No matter he does something or looks for something, he will shout "Mom" from the bottom of his heart, and then do the next thing. This afternoon, he shouted eighty times if not a hundred times.
The old man also turned a blind eye at the beginning, turned a cold eye, and then occasionally responded with a wink or a yes. Calculating carefully, this is also the most intimate behavior between the two after breaking away from the relationship between mother and child.
"Oh, Haitao is back? Fengyun, Dapeng, you two are here too? Just wait, I'll prepare something delicious for you."
The eldest aunt was cheerful as soon as she entered the house. Perhaps it was because she was only two years older than Shen Haitao. She had been particularly fond of her eldest brother since she was a child, but she could do nothing about her younger brother.
Maybe it’s because she loves her family, or maybe because her family and her younger sister’s family are all girls, and the younger brother is unmarried and has no children, so the next generation of the Shen family has only one boy, Shen Dapeng, for the time being. With the feudal idea of carrying on the family line, Shen Dapeng has always been obsessed with it.
Very pampering.
"Auntie! Why are you beautiful again? Did you secretly use some good cosmetics again?"
Shen Dapeng's mouth was as sweet as honey, and he stepped forward to give his aunt an affectionate hug.
"Good boy, your aunt is the only one who treats you well. When did your aunt ever lose you?"
Shen Dongmei hit Shen Dapeng on the head with a small fist, her tone full of jealousy.
"My sister-in-law is naturally beautiful and smart, so why should a dull person like me praise her? Wouldn't that insult my sister-in-law's wisdom?"
Shen Dapeng clasped his fists vigorously like a hero again, "Auntie, please accept my nephew's bow."
As he said that, he leaned over and bowed indifferently. When Shen Dongmei kept laughing, Shen Dapeng suddenly stretched out his hand, "Sister-in-law, I'm so good, don't you have a red envelope to reward me?"
"Fuck you, you brat. You've almost grown to the roof of your house. You still have the nerve to care about me, a petite woman, asking for New Year's money. I didn't let you protect my safety at all times. You're already damn lucky."
The jokes between Shen Dapeng and his sister-in-law may seem crazy, but the family has long been used to it.
Shen Dongmei is about the same age as his aunt Liu Fengxia, so she has a particularly good relationship with Shen Dapeng. Before there was any divorce at home, she often joked about herself as the Condor Heroes!
Of course, Shen Dapeng was still young at that time and didn't know about the love between Yang Guo and Xiao Longnu. He only knew that they acted side by side and acted chivalrously on TV.
"Uncle, happy New Year!"
Shen Dapeng walked up to Wang Liqing and saw that the military coat that his eldest uncle had not changed for more than ten years had been mended and even the cuffs were stained with grease, but he still couldn't bear to throw it away. At this time, he said "Happy New Year" and his eldest uncle was also honest and honest.
He smiled and nodded cordially.
"Brother, how are you doing in Qingshu County? I see that you are now wearing a woolen coat, small leather shoes, and your hair is shiny and smooth. Have you been promoted?"
Shen Dongmei took off her shoes and squatted on the hot kang, hugging Shen Haitao's neck from behind without restraint. They hadn't seen each other for a long time, but the relationship between the brother and sister had not been affected at all.
"It's still the same as before, just take it one day at a time."
Shen Haitao didn't mention the matter of promotion, for fear that if he brought it up, his old mother would think it was just a show off at home, so he pointed everyone at Shen Dapeng:
"On the other hand, Dapeng is becoming more and more promising. He was only an average student in his first and second years of high school, and he no longer had any hope of taking the college entrance examination. Who would have thought that in the past six months, his grades have improved by leaps and bounds, and he is now among the top ten in his year.
It’s not a problem anymore.”
"Hey, isn't that more powerful than our Xinxin?"
The Xinxin in Shen Dongmei's mouth is Wang Shenxin, the cousin of Shen Dapeng's aunt's family. Because her uncle's surname is Wang and her aunt's surname is Shen, they added their surnames to the cousin's name, which can be regarded as the crystallization of their love.
Although Wang Shenxin is a cousin, she is actually only one year older than Shen Dapeng. Her academic performance is the same as her aunt's family life. She is mediocre and cannot be ranked among the best, but she is by no means a loser and is in the middle and upper reaches.
I didn't do well in the college entrance examination last year and didn't get admitted to an undergraduate university. In order to get into a good university, I repeated my studies for a year. Now, like Shen Dapeng, they are both in their third year of high school, but one is in Qingshu County and the other is in Pingshui Town.
"Dapeng, you have to keep working hard and get into a prestigious university to give our Shen family a reputation. I can also let your sister Ting'er learn from you and use you as an example."
Mentioning Ting'er, Shen Dongmei's eyes showed a look of doting. Li Ting was her daughter who had been with her for the past few years. In her eyes, perhaps no one was as important as Ting'er.
"Well, sister-in-law, just be rest assured, I will definitely work hard, but... why aren't Sister Xinxin and Ting'er here?"
Shen Dapeng was a little confused. Could it be that he hadn't seen each other for a long time and had become estranged from him?
Recalling my past life, it seems to be true. People say that women have undergone a transformation. The three of them, brother and sister, have not seen each other for several years. Later, they may not even recognize each other when they walk on the street. When they were children, they could not recognize each other because of a few hawthorns.
The noisy older sister and younger sister couldn't help but feel sour in their hearts.
