Chapter 136

On New Year’s Day, Shen Yiling was called back to Shen’s house for dinner, while Rong Qi and Yu Mengtang were left at home by her. She wasn’t too worried that the two would be embarrassed to get along, anyway, they couldn’t say a few words a day, one could stay in the study all day, and the other could spend a day playing on the phone in the living room.

Even if they are really bored, there are Xiaobai Yulu to accompany them evenly.

The New Year’s Eve dinner was eaten at Shen’s house. This time, not only the Shen Qing family, but also many relatives that Shen Yiling had never heard of, for example, Shen Qing’s brother’s family, Shen Huaihong’s cousin’s family, his cousin’s family, and even the family. Gan Caizhi’s distant relatives, who were not very ranked, sent a representative over.

It has been said that in the new year, you can tell who is doing well and who is not doing well. Anyway, Shen Huaihong is really doing well, and those who come to make a toast will have to line up. Everyone who came to say congratulations had to praise the children of the Shen family, not to mention Shen Yiling and Shen Shuyu, even Shen Zhihan would be praised as a flower by them.

Said to be a family banquet, in fact, it is more like a small Vanity Fair. Even if everyone has a smile on their faces, the inner little Jiujiu can’t hide it very much.

Shen Huaihong is a wealthy family in Yunzhou City. He has a lot of good projects that need people. Even if he gets some benefits from a little relationship, ordinary families can make progress in the new year.

As early as a few days ago, Shen Yiling saw Shen Zhihan’s complaints on WeChat. He said that several relatives’ children were going to graduate from college in the second half of the year, and people have been bringing their children to visit these days, in order to save the children. Stuffed into Shen Huaihong or Shen Niansheng’s company to work.

The Shen’s Group is better than the others. It is one of the top 500 companies in the country. Most of them are people who want to get in. Needless to say, Shen Nian, although it is not as famous as Shen’s, but Shen Niansheng, a young man who has just graduated a few years ago, can start his own company like this, and the future can be said to be bright. I heard that some well-known entrepreneurs in Beijing have approached him to discuss things like corporate culture.

Shen Zhihan could hear giggling sounds from downstairs early in the morning these days. If he didn’t sleep well, his temper was bad, so he would go to Shen Yiling to complain, and he also proposed to live at Shen Yiling’s house after the new year.

Shen Yiling didn’t reject him, anyway, there are so many rooms in the house, as long as he doesn’t make any trouble, he can live in ten more.

This meal was not so pleasant. There were many delicacies from the mountains and seas that were not usually eaten on the table. It was true, but many times Shen Yiling had to drop his chopsticks to pick up the dishes, and there were other juniors around him who were pulled over by their parents to make a toast. It abruptly lowered her eating efficiency. After being interrupted many times, she lost her interest in eating.

After casually eating a few bites of food that could fill her stomach, Shen Yiling left the hall, and she was going to go home in a while.

The heating in the villa is fully turned on, and the yard is very windy and the temperature is very low, but Shen Yiling didn’t feel uncomfortable, but felt that such a quiet atmosphere seemed to please her more.

After sitting on the swing for a while, the mobile phone in my pocket rang, and the caller ID was Grandma Wang.

Shen Yiling listened to the ringtone for a few seconds, and there was a genuine smile in her eyes.

As soon as she answered the phone, she heard laughter and the faint sound of firecrackers coming from the opposite side. It was very lively.

The opposite Grandma Wang seemed to be chatting with the younger generation. When the call was connected, she drove away the people around her with a “Qu Qu”, and only after walking to a quieter place did she lovingly say to Shen Yiling, “Yiling, today. It’s New Year’s Eve, have you had the New Year’s Eve dinner yet?”

Shen Yiling looked up at the starry sky and said with a smile, “I just finished eating, how about you, grandma?”

The old man laughed at the opposite, and said in a babble: “We haven’t eaten yet. Xiaobao and his brothers and sisters have been playing all afternoon, and now they are sleeping soundly upstairs. Wake up. Uncle Wang brought you a gift again, and only when I got home did I realize that you had been to Yunzhou City for a while. Who told him that he didn’t usually call back, and I forgot to tell him about it. ”

Shen Yiling didn’t speak, she just listened to Grandma Wang talking a lot over there.

“The son and daughter-in-law of the old Sun’s family next door haven’t come back. You said that if you don’t come back, you should send some money over to let the old man have a good New Year. Who knows that there is no call on the New Year’s Eve, or your Uncle Wang is holding a hot pot. Jiu only saw that he didn’t even eat a bowl of hot dishes, so why don’t people bring people home to have a New Year’s Eve dinner together?”

When it comes to the next door neighbor, Grandpa Sun, Grandma Wang always feels uncomfortable.

Shen Yiling was also a little silent, feeling gloomy in her heart.

Most of the alleys in Wanshui Town are very narrow. The front and rear neighbors are separated by an alley that is only two or three meters wide. The left and right neighbors are only separated by a wall. If you speak a little louder at home, you can hear the next door.

Shen Yiling’s family and Grandma Wang are neighbors to the left and right, and Grandpa Sun is neighbors to the front and back. In short, they are very close and very close.

To say that this grandfather is also a poor man.

From what he said, when he was young, his family had some money, and since he was a boy, he read a few books and learned a few words. Who would have guessed that there would be unforeseen circumstances, and it didn’t take long for the hometown to be in disaster. They were all together. As soon as the child’s burden was collected, he began to flee south.

At that time, the conditions were poor. Most of the time, he was on the road. If he was not careful, he would be separated from his family.

At a young age, he had no protection from his family and nowhere to accept child labor. He barely survived until he was in his twenties. In the past, he also relied on the braille he had learned to do business, but unfortunately he didn’t meet any good people, and the only girlfriend he had ever paid took all his money and ran away. Instead of booming his business, he owed a lot of debt.

After finally repaying the debt, people have no motivation to want to go to the next level. When he was in his thirties, he went to Wanshui Town alone. The pace of life here is very slow. Although life is hard, the surrounding neighbors are good.

Later, when he was out of the sports car, he saw an abandoned child at the intersection of the street and brought it back… There was a child at home who was waiting to be fed.

There is nothing to say about what happened after that. This son is also an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf. Grandpa Sun offered him to go to university, but he found a better wife in the city. father.

There was someone in the town who fought for Grandpa Sun, but in the end that person actually said that Grandpa Sun did not sign the adoption contract when he adopted him. No one can do anything to him.

The neighbors in the town were very angry, but if they wanted to fight with a person who had gone to college and studied law, they had no chance of winning. In the end, Grandpa Sun smiled and said that it doesn’t matter, the child grows up and has his own family, so don’t drag the child down when he can still live on his own.

The people in the town scolded Grandpa Sun for being too honest. No wonder he was always bullied for so many years, and even the son who had been raised with great difficulty was so unscrupulous.

Shen Yiling also agrees with the thoughts of other neighbors, but every time she thinks that Grandpa Sun is too kind, she will think of a pair of wrinkled and dark hands, inside which is carefully placed a little wrinkled that she doesn’t know how much she is clenched. Baba’s melted sugar.

If it weren’t for Grandpa Sun’s kindness, she would have suffered even more before.

She probably thought it was not good to keep talking like this on New Year’s Eve. Grandma Wang quickly changed the subject and asked Shen Yiling, “Can’t you come back after the New Year? After you leave your house keys with me, I occasionally go to dry the quilt and sweep the ashes for you, I didn’t think your house was big before, but now I always feel empty when I go in.”

She watched Shen Yiling grow up, this girl was so good, she had long regarded her as her own granddaughter, and she hadn’t seen her for so long.

Shen Yiling did have a lot of things she wanted to do, so she replied without thinking, “Go back, I have an exam around the tenth day of the first year. After the exam, I will go back and live for a while.”

Hearing this, Grandma Wang immediately became happy. She responded several times, and said that the weather in Wanshui Town was pretty good these few days, and he would take Xiaobao to her house to clean up, so as not to get used to it when he came back.

Grandma Wang kept exhorting her like an ordinary elder, telling her to take care of her body no matter what, and if she was bullied, she must tell her family. She had said some things back and forth many times, but Shen Yiling was reluctant to interrupt.

It was not until more than ten minutes later, when Shen Yiling said that she would go back and open a WeChat for her to teach her how to use it, Grandma Wang reluctantly hung up the phone.

The climate of Wanshui Town is colder than that of Yunzhou City, but the weather is relatively dry, and a thin layer of snow will accumulate on the ground at this time. Yunzhou City is different. Even when it is the coldest, it rarely snows here, even if it is only a little bit, the drizzle adds to the drizzle, and it melts as soon as it hits the ground.

I don’t know if she was unconvinced, but Shen Yiling had just finished thinking about her thoughts, when a gust of wind blew over, and also clipped a few pieces of snowflakes that were slightly smaller than the fingernails.

She was slightly startled and stretched out her hand.

Sure enough, a thin snowflake fell on her palm, but it turned into a little water in a second.

Under the street lamp, these snowflakes were still a little obvious, which made Shen Yiling feel a little dazed, until a casual male voice suddenly came from behind.

“I said, if you feel bored chatting with them, go to the room upstairs. What are you doing here with the cold air, thinking that you are too healthy?”

Hearing Qiao’er’s stupefied voice, she knew that the person who came was Shen Zhihan, Shen Yiling turned her head and looked back, and as expected, she saw a handsome face that was tender and slightly drawn.

Shen Zhihan wrapped himself like a ball, wearing a thick down jacket twice the size of others, a scarf covering half of his face, and a black fluffy hat on his head. Today, he didn’t wear those hundreds of thousands of sneakers, but a pair of snow boots very casually.

He disliked Shen Yiling for blowing the cold wind, but he walked over and sat on another swing beside her honestly, and asked casually, “I saw you on the phone inside, who are you talking to? Haven’t had you for so long.”

Shen Yiling glanced at him and sneered: “Fifteen minutes is a long time? Have you never found a girlfriend before, do you know what it’s like to talk on the phone?”

“…”

Shen Zhihan is quite good at eating, drinking and having fun like this, but he is not at all enlightened about girlfriends, he feels that he does not need to know these things, but somehow Shen Yiling said that he felt that he had never found a girlfriend. As if there was a problem, even the tone became unnatural.

“What am I doing looking for a girlfriend when I’m having a good time by myself? All the girls are so squeamish, I have to report when I go out to play or play a game.”

After a while, he felt something was wrong again, and immediately said loudly: “I’m only a freshman in high school, Shen Yiling, do you know what you’re talking about, and you actually encouraged me to fall in love?!”

Shen Yiling, who had been accused by him, moved to the side speechlessly, and said slowly, “I just want to tell you that fifteen minutes of phone call time is not a phone porridge at all.” After leaving, she blocked him with what he had just said: “What are you doing sitting here, the warm air inside is not enough for you?”

In terms of physical fitness, Shen Zhihan was much worse than Shen Yiling, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was a flower in a greenhouse.

Shen Yiling didn’t want him to get sick when he was cold outside. Seeing that he didn’t want to go into the room, she stood up from the swing and said, “Go in, I’m going back too.”

Shen Zhihan’s **** wasn’t even hot yet, when he heard this, he immediately frowned and stood up: “Today’s Chinese New Year, you won’t be with us for New Year’s Eve? It’s only what time, you won’t let me go again. Let me tell you, last time you didn’t keep your parents and they told me about it.”

But he was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child, and when he was a little unhappy, his mouth pursed tightly, and his expression was more rebellious than usual.

“There are still people at home. It’s not good for me to go back alone too late.” Shen Yiling made a random excuse, then raised her finger and pointed to the hall, “There are so many people, I go in and say I don’t know if I can make it.”

Shen Zhihan didn’t need to look back to know what the scene was in the hall. It was nothing more than a group of men surrounded Shen Huaihong and Shen Niansheng, women surrounded Gan Caizhi, and the younger generation were bored with their mobile phones.

This kind of situation is really boring, but it’s not the reason why Shen Yiling asked him to help him cut first and then play! With his arms around his chest, he turned his head away and ignored Shen Yiling.

Shen Yiling was not in a hurry, but said slowly: “You said you wanted to go to my house before, didn’t you? I thought about it carefully, maybe I don’t have time—”

Shen Zhihan: “…”

His head “swiped” and turned around, staring at Shen Yiling dumbfounded.

The two were deadlocked for nearly half a minute, and finally Shen Zhihan was defeated. He gritted his teeth: “I’m going! I’ll go and say it!”

He got up irritably, and the swing was rattled by him. After taking two steps, he turned back and said in a hard voice: “Don’t go yet, I still have something for you.”

After he finished speaking, he turned his head and walked back quickly. The night was very dark, blocking his somewhat red ears.

Shen Yiling looked at his arrogant back, and really stood there and didn’t move.

The hall was brightly lit, Shen Zhihan turned a few corners and was blocked from seeing the figure, and Shen Yiling didn’t stare anymore.

It wasn’t until seven or eight minutes later that he ran out with a large gift box and a white bag hanging in his hand.

Because he was in a hurry, his pale face was a little red, and his breathing became a little unsteady.

“For you.” He shoved the gift box in his hand into Shen Yiling’s arms, with a little embarrassment on his face: “Didn’t you recommend that you be admitted to B University, I have all the mobile phones and tablets for you, I choose The latest version has the highest configuration, and it will be more convenient for you to do homework and write papers in the future.”

The thing in her arms was not light, and Shen Yiling’s heart felt a little heavy at this moment.

She has always been very deliberate to keep a little distance between herself and the Shen family. In the past, Shen Zhihan didn’t have any feelings for her, and he didn’t speak well, so she didn’t feel anything about ignoring him, and she didn’t feel ashamed.

But since his attitude slowly changed, it became not so easy for her to distance themselves from the relationship. After all, her heart wasn’t made of stone, even in the original book, Shen Zhihan just never helped her, and never did anything to her. It was not difficult for Shen Zhihan to spend money to buy a set of such electronic products, what was rare was his heart.

Shen Yiling clenched her hands tightly holding the box, and sincerely thanked: “But this is a New Year’s gift? Didn’t you give it before?”

Originally, the corners of Shen Zhihan’s mouth were raised, but when he heard this, he remembered what he had spent half a month waiting for, and his face collapsed again: “You still have the face to ask me, it’s not because you think it’s something I gave you. Practical. I don’t look like I’m stingy if I don’t prepare a new one.”

Shen Yiling: “…”

The corners of her mouth twitched, and she couldn’t help but ask, “Why do you think other people like toilet covers?”

Shen Zhihan also hid it, and a light flashed in those eyes that were quite similar to Shen Yiling’s: “Don’t think I don’t know, when I was hospitalized, you took the custom toilet pegs, right?” He revealed With a look that sees through everything, he hummed: “You just want to say no to me directly, what does it look like secretly? After all, you are also my sister, for the sake of your taste and mine, don’t I Would you not want to give it to you?”

Shen Yiling felt guilty, but did not admit it: “I don’t know what you are talking about.”

Doubt flashed in Shen Zhihan’s eyes: “You really don’t know? I saw it on the ground before you went in that day, and you disappeared as soon as you came out. Later, I asked the nurse, but no one entered my private bathroom. If Who else can you be?!”

“Who knows.” Dong Xiaolei had already given it to her, so it wouldn’t be a problem if she didn’t take it.

Shen Yiling pretended to be calm and waved to him: “Thank you for your gift, I’m leaving first, you can go in quickly too.”

She lifted her legs and walked out, and Shen Zhihan couldn’t even think about his unsolved mystery, so he quickly chased after him: “Today, let Uncle Jin take you back, I just called him, he happened to be outside, drop by.”

This time, Shen Yiling didn’t refuse any more. After thinking about it, she took the initiative to propose: “Tell me in advance before coming to my house, so that I can prepare a room for you, and you can give your New Year’s gift when the time comes.”

“Okay.” Shen Zhihan replied casually.

After waiting for several seconds, he suddenly came back to his senses, and his eyes widened when he looked at Shen Yiling.

What did Shen Yiling say? She wants to help him prepare a room, and a gift? !

Shen Zhihan had never been so moved before, this feeling was as if he had worked hard for a long time and finally saw the rewards.

His eyebrows were raised, and when Uncle Jin drove the car to bring people, he not only did not hold back, but instead waved his hand cheerfully, “Tomorrow I am going to pay New Year’s greetings, and I will go to your house the day after tomorrow! You prepare me well. Ah, I want the biggest and softest quilt!”

Shen Yiling nodded and waved to him.

The hall was still noisy, but now Shen Zhihan’s mood was very different from just now. He was not angry when he was hit by an uncle’s son when he entered the door, he just deliberately asked him to be careful.

These people downstairs would never leave before ten o’clock in the evening. Shen Zhihan was about to go upstairs to play games, but Shen Qing stopped him as soon as he reached the entrance of the stairs. With a pleasing smile on her face, she said with concern, “I noticed that Yi Ling was not in a good mood after dinner. Is she still angry with me and your uncle?”

Shen Zhihan smiled and said casually, “How do I know, hasn’t she always been like this?”

Shen Qing smiled embarrassingly: “She went back so early during the Chinese New Year, and didn’t say anything to the rest of the family. Otherwise, give me her contact information, and I will apologize to her?”

After the last press conference, Shen Qing wanted to ask Shen Yiling to help her go to Ke Jianlin to talk about love. Shen Huaihong had told her several times, but she still thought about it.

Shen Zhihan sneered in his heart, with a helpless expression on his face: “Aunt, why are you telling me this?”

Knowing that he was not happy, Shen Qing hurriedly handed over a red envelope and said with a smile, “It’s not about your relationship with your sister, she has the same attitude towards her family, so you can still have a good word with her, Just help my aunt this time. There are also red envelopes and the gift you said last time, I have to give them to her, right?”

Although Shen Zhihan didn’t have much affection for this aunt, and even thought she was a little annoying, what she said still pleased him very well. Does he have a good relationship with Shen Yiling? If an outsider can see it, it should be fine.

He squinted his eyes proudly, but he still couldn’t give Shen Yiling’s contact information. What if she thought he was nosy and didn’t get along with him?

So he stretched out his hand towards Shen Qing.

Shen Qing looked at his upward palm puzzled, “What do you mean?”

“Didn’t you say that you have prepared a red envelope and a meeting gift? I’m going to Shen Yiling’s house in two days. I have a good relationship with her and can help you with it.” Shen Zhihan said proudly. Seeing that Shen Qing didn’t react for a while, he frowned again: “What’s the matter, aunt, aren’t you ready?”

Shen Qing: “…”

She laughed dryly, took out a large red envelope from her pocket and put it in Shen Zhihan’s hand.

“Thanks auntie, I will help convey your apology.” Shen Zhihan waved the red envelope in his hand and went upstairs without any reluctance.

Shen Qing’s chest seemed to be blocked, and she almost didn’t infarct herself. Originally, when Shen Yiling left, she could save a red envelope fee, but now it’s good, she lost 20,000 yuan before the news!

Seeing Shen Zhihan’s back disappearing at the entrance of the stairs, Shen Qing stomped her feet unwillingly.

The car drove in the direction of the villa, Shen Yiling put the box given by Shen Zhihan aside, said Happy New Year to Uncle Jin, and then pulled the packaging bag next to the box.

Shen Zhihan said that it was given to him by Shen Niansheng. Inside was a diamond-encrusted bracelet and a red envelope. This red envelope only had a thin layer to the touch, and I couldn’t even feel the thickness of the money. Shen Yiling opened it a little strangely and looked at it, and was surprised to find that it was a check, a very simple A check for a million…

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Shen Zhihan arrived at Shen Yiling’s house. As soon as he entered the house, Xiaobai gave him a very warm welcome, which made him scream.

Shen Yiling said that if there is a gift, there is a real gift. What she prepared for him is a drone, a high-end drone that has never been seen on the market. It is difficult to operate, but exciting.

Besides him, Shen Niansheng also had a gift, a dark USB flash drive.

Shen Zhihan laughed a few times with great pride when he saw this USB flash drive. Rong Xi, who was reading a book, was attracted by his laughter and asked him in a low voice why he was so happy.

Shen Zhihan didn’t hide it either, and said bluntly, “Look at what Shen Yiling gave to Shen Niansheng, it’s just a USB flash drive. Is she afraid that she won’t die from anger?”

He had seen it secretly. The cheque given by Shen Niansheng had one million written on it, and one million was only exchanged for a small black USB flash drive.

The more he thought about Shen Zhihan, the more he felt that he was a special one, until Rong Xi told him that the USB flash drive was a game.

“Games?” Shen Zhihan was shocked: “What games?! It’s not what I thought, right?” Shen Niansheng’s company not only develops various electronic products, but also game development is a very important part. The more popular games have made hundreds of millions of profits for his company.

Shen Yiling’s return gift to Shen Niansheng is a game? Games that can be placed in such a USB flash drive should not be simple games.

As if to prove his idea, Rong Xi replied slowly: “I don’t know what game you are thinking of, but the game on this USB flash drive was bought by Yiling, and it is not yet popular in the market. .Probably wanted her brother to use it for development, right?”

Shen Zhihan: “…”

He took the remote control of the drone, and withdrew his big teeth at once.

So his gift is a plane, and Shen Niansheng’s gift is a game that can be developed? !

Could this be too much? !

Fortunately, Shen Zhihan was still a child who was not mentally mature. Although his heart was sour, after seeing the room Shen Yiling had prepared for him, he immediately forgot about the game.

So what if Shen Niansheng can get the game, Shen Yiling hasn’t invited him home or prepared a room for him.

In the final analysis, his younger brother is the most special!
