The stepmother control group counterattacked with cubs in the era

With fewer people in the way, the birthday party was a complete success.

As the New Year approaches, Shen Mingzhu also prepares a New Year gift for all the guests.

In addition to the candies and pastries produced by the in-house food factory, there are also newly cured bacon and sausages this year.

Go to a farmer's house in the countryside to buy grain pigs, marinate them with Moutai wine and secret spices and air-dry them. Whether you eat them steamed, stir-fried or braised, the unique aroma of bacon can make the people on the next street stand out. The child cries.

Bacon sausage is also the restaurant’s first takeaway item.

Shen Mingzhu registered the trademark two months ago, called Shenji Cured Meat, and it will be mass-produced and sold starting next year.

After finishing the meal, some guests took the New Year gifts and left first, while others stayed and continued to have fun.

The remaining guests, including the male guests, were taken to the teahouse next door for entertainment by Pei Yang.

The teahouse has three floors, and Shen Mingzhu reserved the third floor for the male guests to drink tea and play cards. She also gave Pei Yang a thousand dollars in cash for him to play cards.

When Shen Mingzhu took money from Pei Yang, Zhou Shuhuan, He Tao and other family members who grew up together looked at him eagerly, with envy and jealousy in their hearts.

Who doesn’t want to have a beautiful and capable wife?

As for the female guests, Shen Mingzhu directly booked a karaoke room for the ladies to have fun.

The karaoke halls of this era were hall-style, with a TV and VCR placed in the front, and high-power speakers placed in the four corners of the hall.

For women who lack entertainment life, if they can enter a karaoke hall, it means that their mother-in-law is wearing fancy shoes and following the fashion.

In addition to singing and dancing, Shen Mingzhu also prepared various snacks, fruit plates and drinks.

Guaranteed to keep everyone entertained and well-fed.

As for the older female elders who didn't like making noise, Shen Mingzhu took them home to drink tea and chat.

"This house is really well-kept. You can tell it is well-run."

Relatives were full of praise while visiting Pei's home.

Wang Huizhen is also there.

She came specially from Xicheng Port to celebrate Pei Yang's birthday.

It is said that time is like a butcher's knife, but it has no effect on Shen Mingzhu.

Compared with the tenderness and tenderness of four years ago, she now shows no sign of the fatigue and hard work of a traditional housewife. Instead, she is as bright and rich as the carefully cared for flowers in the garden.

At first glance, she looks like a woman living a happy life.

Thinking of her niece Wang Xiuzhu, Wang Huizhen couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in her heart.

Regardless of her origin, family background, or education, her niece is much better than Shen Mingzhu in everything, but when it comes to running a marriage, she is far inferior to Shen Mingzhu.

"... Yuandong is away from home all the year round. Xiuzhu and the two old people have different living habits. They live under the same roof and quarrel every day. It's been a year since she moved back to her parents' home, and she is still arguing about divorcing Yuandong. She says she is suffering. I can’t live as a widow all year round.”

"This child is as stubborn as a cow. She didn't listen to any advice at first, but she regrets it after only two years. I should have brought her here so that she could learn how to live a good life from you."

Please don't. If Wang Xiuzhu gets involved with Pei Yang again, she won't be too lazy to deal with it.

"Teacher, everyone has their own path. It's better for us to put aside the idea of ​​helping others and respect the fate of others."

Hearing that Shen Mingzhu didn't like her niece, Wang Huizhen changed the topic and talked about something else.

……

At around two o'clock, Yan Yi drove over to Pei's house to pick up Zhong Qing.

Shen Mingzhu sends Zhong Qing out.

Guoguo also enthusiastically followed Shen Mingzhu to see off the guests.

Today was a big day. She was wearing a red cotton-padded jacket and had a small chirp on her head. She ran outside the door as round as a candied haws and shouted "Uncle Salt" to Yan Yi who was standing by the car door.

"come over."

Yan Yi smiled and waved to her.

Guoguo didn't give in, walked over to the little girl, looked up at her snow-white round face, and asked in a coquettish voice, "What do you want me to do?"

Yan Yi bent down, touched her little antlers-like chirps with his index finger, and said with a gentle smile: "Happy New Year, Candy Guo."

Guoguo puffed up her face, "Today is not the Chinese New Year!"

"Well, this is uncle's blessing to you in advance."

After saying that, he handed a red envelope to her.

"No."

Guoguo proudly held her two little paws behind her back, and her attitude of refusal was quite firm.

Yan Yi was curious, "Why not?"

"Brother said, I can't have it, I'm not a good person."

After all, I am still young and my ability to express myself is not very clear, but it is enough for adults to understand. Anyone who gives things to children without any reason when going out is not a good person, so he cannot ask for them.

"This is the New Year's money given to you by your uncle. You can ask your mother."

Guoguo turned to look at Shen Mingzhu.

"Go on, say thank you uncle."

With Shen Mingzhu's approval, Guoguo happily accepted the red envelope and said thank you in a sweet voice.

Zhong Qing explained to Shen Mingzhu: "This year, Yan Yi and I are going to take Yinyin and Xiaomin abroad to celebrate the Spring Festival. We will also look for clues about my parents. It is estimated that we will not come back until March."

"Then I wish you a Happy New Year in advance."

Zhong Qing took her hand and said, "When I get there, I'll contact you. You can think about what you want to buy and I'll bring it back to you."

"When do you leave? I'll see you off."

"No, you're busy with the flight tonight, so don't worry about it. See you next year."

"Well, have a safe trip."

Zhong Qing hugged her goodbye.

Yan Yi also exchanged greetings with her, then bent down and handed Guoguo another red envelope, "Can you pass this to my brother for Uncle Yan?"

Guo Guo took the red envelope with her tender white paws and said, "Okay."

"Thank you, Candy Guo."

"You're welcome."

The serious little adult look made all three of them laugh.

……

In the car, Zhong Qing looked sideways at Yan Yi who was driving, with curiosity on his face, "You seem to like Guoguo particularly."

The Yan family is a big family with huge roots. The children in the family are as densely packed as the fruits on the tree. They are countless. Yan Yi has never been so gentle and patient with any child of the Yan family as he is today.

"Yeah, very cute."

The affection between Yan Yi's eyebrows was undisguised.

Zhong Qing nodded, "Is it because of Guoguo's influence that you want to have a child?"

Yan Yi did not answer directly, "If you have concerns or regret, our cooperation can be canceled at any time."

Zhong Qing shook his head, "No, I'm just curious."

"I don't rule out being influenced by Guo Guo, but another more important reason is that I need to have a child."

……

Raising his wrist to check the time on his watch, Pei Ziheng stood up and said, "No more fighting."

Zhao Yun hadn't finished playing yet, but when he saw Pei Ziheng walking out of the game hall, he had to give up the unfinished game and chase Pei Ziheng away.

When other friends saw it, they followed suit.

"Why don't you fight? Don't you fight well?"

Pei Ziheng said concisely and concisely, "Go home and make lanterns with Guoguo."

Zhao Yun: "Can't you do it tomorrow?"

"I promised to teach her today."

Zhao Yun knew the temperament of his brother's doting on his sister, so he didn't bother to say anything more. He passed by a candied haws seller and immediately booked the place.

Zhao Dafa's business is booming this year, and his pocket money has doubled.

Seven or eight friends each got two bunches, and there was still a large handful left. Zhao Yun held it in his hand like a bouquet, ready to take it back to Guoguo.

You can’t finish it, and it looks great on display.

Near Zhu Zechi, he and Pei Ziheng were always together, and he also habitually doted on Guoguo as if he were his own sister.

……

A group of half-grown children, who were at their most energetic age, had not yet entered the house, and their loud voices were heard back to the Pei family.

Guoguo, who was being held by her elders like a lucky doll, heard the noise and immediately turned around and jumped to the ground, then ran out the door on her little leather shoes.

"Brother~"

Seeing his younger sister greeting him, Pei Ziheng finally had a faint smile on his cold and snowy face. He bent down to hug people as a habit, but was overtaken by Zhao Yun at the side.

Pei Ziheng's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot. (End of chapter)
