Chapter 220: Uninvited Guest

"Mom, how old was I then!" Guangrong shouted in embarrassment. "You always want to use this to make fun of me. When my brother Xingxing was in the elementary school sports meeting, his pants fell off during the sprint race. Isn't that more embarrassing than me?"

Hearing this, Xingxing turned red immediately. "He Guangrong! You won't pass this year's New Year!"

Saying this, he pounced on him and suppressed him!

The people in the car laughed together, and the atmosphere was exceptionally harmonious.

The family had a reunion dinner at home in the evening in advance, because the aunt's family had to accompany the uncle to the countryside of Jixing Town near Shengang to spend the New Year the next day.

People in Shengang are very particular about these things. Daughters must go to their husband's family to spend the New Year, and sons must also go home.

Shen Ci gave most of the things she brought back to her aunt, which made Shen Yingying push back quickly. "Oh, A-Ci, you don't need so much. There are still some left from what your mom brought back last time."

"Take it!" Shen Ci insisted on doing so. She wanted to give her aunt a face. "Take it back to spend the New Year with your uncle. These are all good things, don't let people look down on you again."

Uncle is naturally protective of Aunt, but Shen Ci also knows that Aunt is not liked by the elders of Uncle's family. People are afraid of comparison. Uncle's family is prosperous, only the two of them live relatively poorly. Sui Sui didn't get into university, and Guangrong might not have hope for junior college. Every time they go home, they have to be lower than others on these things.

In fact, Aunt's temperament is not soft, but she always has to take care of Uncle's face, and she only stays for a few days, thinking that she will endure it.

Over time, she got used to it.

Shen Yingying couldn't see her niece's thoughts, and was moved to tears again, making He Bin feel uncomfortable.

After sending Shen Yingying's family away, Shen Jingjing sat on the sofa and sighed deeply. "Actually, your aunt, every time she goes back with your uncle to spend the New Year, it's like going to torture. Knowing that she makes a living by making food, the family caught the handle. Every time your aunt goes back, she is the one who arranges the meals, from New Year's Eve to the fifth or sixth day of the first lunar month."

Shen Li held her mother's hand and sighed. Shen Ci walked to the front and sat down, looking at her mother and asking, "Mom, didn't Grandma ask you to go back for the New Year this year?"

Shen Jingjing shook her head, her tone quite helpless. "What for? It's better for our family to be at ease."

Although she said so, Shen Ci knew her mother must be uncomfortable.

Grandma has two families, the eldest uncle and the youngest uncle, to accompany her. The eldest uncle has three sons, and the youngest uncle has two sons. Funan is one of the places with the most serious preference for boys over girls in the country. Shen Ci's sisters don't receive a message or a phone call from their grandparents all year round.

I guess they have forgotten these two granddaughters.

In the early years, Shen Jingjing took the excuse that Shen Ci was busy with her senior year studies and the holiday was shortened, so she took the initiative to find an excuse not to take the children back for the New Year. It was hard to go back and forth, and the expenses were not small.

And every time she went back and saw the elders treating her children differently, she felt uncomfortable. Originally, she and Yingying were ignored since childhood, so she naturally couldn't bear to see her children treated like this.

So A-Ci followed by A-Li, and then Xingxing were all preparing for exams one after another. It had been three or four years since they went back to Funan.

After a long time, the elders didn't even ask.

Occasionally when they contacted their daughter, they wanted to arrange a blind date for her, but they only looked at whether the person was rich or not, and didn't look at anything else at all. Anyone could understand what they were thinking.

"It's better not to go back. Isn't it happy for our family to be lively?" Xingxing said.

Hearing this, Shen Jingjing smiled. "That's right, Mom prepared a lot of New Year goods this year. The lobster in the sink is still being raised, and there is king crab, everything."

Shen Ci looked at her mother, younger brother, and younger sister, and felt full in her heart. The first Spring Festival after returning to twenty, the whole family was by her side, and nothing made her feel happier than this.

As a result, the next day, someone came to try to break this happiness.

The person who knocked on the door was none other than Shen Ci's eldest uncle, Fu Kang.

Facing Fu Kang's sudden arrival, Shen Jingjing was very surprised, but still politely let him into the door.

Shen Ci and her younger brother and sister also came out to greet him, and called the eldest uncle one after another when they saw him.

Fu Kang saw A-Ci and smiled, his tone was still warm. "A-Ci is a sophomore, right? She's a big girl, and she's getting more and more beautiful."

Shen Ci just nodded politely with a smile.

Fu Kang looked at A-Li again, his expression a bit unnatural and distant, and his smile faded a bit.

And A-Li's personality was reserved, and she had a clear sense of estrangement from the Fu family since she was a child. Although she sat on the side, she subconsciously lowered her head and didn't look at the eldest uncle.

The eldest uncle didn't speak, but looked directly at Xingxing. The smile on his face became extremely sincere. "Oh, Xingxing, Uncle hasn't seen you for two years."

Xingxing nodded with a smile. "Yes, Uncle, I've been busy with my studies for the past two years."

"About to take the college entrance exam, right? Which university are you planning to apply for?"

Xingxing looked at his mother and sister and said truthfully, "Longcheng University."

"Oh, Longcheng University is good. You've been smart since you were a child, just like your dad. You will definitely be admitted."

Fu Kang's love for Xingxing was overflowing. It was no wonder, no matter what, Xingxing was his younger brother's own son, although he followed his mother's surname Shen, he ultimately had the blood of the Fu family.

Shen Jingjing knew that Fu Kang wouldn't go to the Three Treasures Hall without anything to do, so she couldn't sit still and took the initiative to ask, "Eldest brother, did you come here suddenly because of something?"

Hearing this, Fu Kang nodded, the smile on his face faded by three points, and he looked at Shen Jingjing earnestly. "Jingjing, the elders want to see Xingxing, so I came to pick Xingxing back to accompany the elders for the New Year."

One sentence made the faces of Shen Ci and the others change, and Shen Li raised her head.

Fu Kang quickly added, "But don't worry, just go for the New Year, and I will send Xingxing back on the second day of the New Year."

Shen Jingjing's face was extremely unnatural, but before she could speak, Shen Xing had already snatched the words. "Uncle, I want to accompany my mom for the New Year, I'm not going anywhere."

"Xingxing, your grandparents miss you. Don't you miss them?"

Shen Ci's face sank, looking at the eldest uncle and asking, "Uncle, Xingxing is a grandson, and A-Li and I are granddaughters, right? Why didn't grandparents say they would pick us back too?"

"Can't pick you all back, right? Then your mom wouldn't be spending the New Year alone?"

Shen Ci sneered immediately. "Thinking of my mom."

"Anyway, I'm not going anywhere, I want to spend the New Year with my mom and sister." Xingxing was also not polite, refusing very decisively.

Seeing this, Shen Jingjing sighed. "Eldest brother, if the elders miss their grandson, I can let Xingxing go to pay a New Year's visit to the elders after the New Year." ===== CHAPTER 221 =====
