In China, whether it’s the Lunar New Year or New Year’s Eve, reunion dinner is a tradition. Sitting together as a family, eating, chatting, and watching special evening shows are considered inherent entertainment activities.
And Mr. Shen also pays special attention to this aspect. He doesn't like traveling for festivals. For the great Chinese festivals, they all go abroad one after another. Get together, have a meal and chat.
In fact, the Shen family is not considered prosperous. Mr. Shen is an only child and has no brothers or sisters. Father Shen has a younger sister, but the younger sister is married abroad and rarely comes back except during the holidays. He learned the computer, which he has never been very keen on, just to send videos with his daughter who is far away abroad.
Therefore, Mr. Shen actually loves to be lively in his bones. Not to mention the holidays, even at ordinary times, he hopes to have more people in his family. This is why Shen Yan and Shen Fu always live in Shen's house even though they both have houses outside.
And on the night of the New Year's Eve, everyone obeyed Mr. Shen's wishes as a matter of course, and the family reunited for a meal.
Both Shen Ma and Lin Shuyi went to the kitchen, and each of them cooked a few dishes that they were good at, as well as some home-cooked but delicious delicate side dishes. Stir-fried, stewed, and stewed are available, and the four people who can't cook are left salivating.
Mr. Shen felt that it was too ugly for an elder to drool on the plate, so he stood up pretending to be dignified, saying that he was going to make a phone call with his daughter. Father Shen also stood up, saying that he hadn't seen him for a long time. Sister, go up with the old man to have a look.
Shen Yan and Shen Fu were left staring at each other.
"How is your house?"
The last time Brother Shen went, the house hadn't been completely finished, it was just an empty shell, and the decoration inside hadn't even started yet.
Shen Fu took out his mobile phone and flipped through the photos on the mobile phone, showing Shen Yan one by one.
"The decoration has been completed, and the furniture can be moved in after the smell is gone."
Brother Shen squinted his eyes and looked at the photos Shen Fu was flipping through, and suddenly felt a little envious.
"Very good, actually you two are quite suitable." Lin Shuyi tended to be stable, and Shen Fu could give him this stability.
Shen Fu was a little shocked by the rare kind words from Brother Shen, and immediately bumped into Brother Shen's shoulder, and the two brothers said kindly, "Brother, what stimulated you today? Didn't you want to fall in love after watching us show our affection every day. "
Unsurprisingly, Shen Yan's face darkened. He felt that his brother was indebted, and he couldn't help it.
"Brother, you are not too young, so hurry up and find me a sister-in-law."
Shen Yan turned around and wanted to leave, Shen Fu grinned and said, "I always think you are the best one."
The figure walking forward was stunned for a moment, Shen Yan didn't look back, but the corners of his mouth curled up a little.
"But, what can you do if you really can't find the picky one?" Seeing that elder brother Shen was moved by his words, Shen Fu hooked the corner of his mouth, and made up the knife with a smile.
Shen Yan: ...
The two brothers seem to have not practiced for a long time.
When Shen Ma and Lin Shuyi finished all the things in the kitchen in a harmonious atmosphere, when they came out to see, no one was there, hey, didn't they just drooling around here
Lin Shuyi looked up at Old Master Shen's study room, the door was open, so he said to Shen's mother, "It should be upstairs, I'll go and have a look."
Lin Shuyi went up to knock on the door, just as hearty laughter came from the door, and he heard the knock on the door and said, "Come in."
Lin Shuyi walked in, Father Shen and Old Man Shen were looking at the computer screen facing him, seeing him coming in, Old Man Shen smiled and said, "Little Yi, did you tell us to eat?"
Lin Shuyi nodded, and a clear female voice suddenly came out from the computer, "Xiaoyi? Is it Xiaofu's boyfriend? Call me over and let me have a look."
Mr. Shen said, "Yes, you are open-minded. You were not surprised when you heard the news before."
The other end laughed again, "You are so old-fashioned in thinking and now you don't agree, so you just pull it over and let me have a look."
That's right, Old Master Shen smiled and waved to Lin Shuyi, "Xiaoyi, come and see, this is Xiaofu's aunt."
Regarding this aunt, Lin Shuyi had heard from Shen Fu that she rarely saw her abroad, but because of the large age difference between Shen Shiman and Shen's father, she was closer to these two little nephews than her elder brother. One point, although she has been abroad all year round, she has a good relationship with the two brothers of the Shen family. Aunt Shen was the first to know about Shen Fu’s homosexuality. He was not very surprised by this matter, and encouraged him not to have any thoughts about it. In fact, what thoughts could Shen Fu have at that time? Although he knew that he was gay, it was only because he was not interested in women. There is no one I like, let alone what others say.
Lin Shuyi responded, and walked towards Old Master Shen.
The image of Aunt Shen completely subverted Lin Shuyi's imagination. She has pretty short hair, skin that is sun-tanned into a wheat-colored skin, and her eyebrows and eyes are completely similar to that of Mr. Shen. She has the charm of a mature woman combined with the playfulness of a girl. He doesn't look like a person in his thirties, and when he smiles, he feels like he's soaking in the sun.
As soon as she saw Lin Shuyi, Aunt Shen's eyes widened and she opened her mouth to mutter something Lin Shuyi couldn't understand. Father Shen was speechless after hearing it, and Old Man Shen also stared straight at her, letting her Be decent to juniors.
Lin Shuyi went in without knowing.
Aunt Shen looked at Lin Shuyi's silly and cute expression, and she staggered with a smile, "I'm praising you, handsome boy, the whole green onion was picked off by that boy Shen Fu, that boy's eyes are really good." That's right, I just don't know where the two of you have developed?"
Mr. Shen stared straight.
Lin Shuyi thought that the degree of openness of the Celestial Dynasty had already surprised him. Lin Shuyi, who had never been in contact with foreign cultures, didn't know that there were people beyond the human world, and there was a sky beyond the sky. He simply didn't know what to say.
He could only say hello in a daze, "Aunt Shen."
Aunt Shen laughed even more freely.
Fortunately, Shen's father coughed lightly immediately, "Well, we are going to have dinner, so let's talk about it next time if we have anything to say."
After finishing speaking, he was ready to fork off this amazingly eloquent sister.
Aunt Shen quickly stopped her, saying that she had something serious to say, "Wait, wait, I might come back early this year."
Only then did Mr. Shen look squarely at it, "Didn't you come back only after Chinese New Year before? What does it mean to come back early?"
Aunt Shen flipped through the calendar on the computer desk and said, "Probably next month, I will be with Alan, and I will tell you the details when I come back. Anyway, there are a little bit of work and personal matters."
Hearing that his daughter was coming back early, Mr. Shen was very happy after all, "How long will you be back?"
"This time I may stay for a long time. I have good news. I will tell you when I come back."
Although Aunt Shen bought a pass, everyone was very happy that she could come back early, and immediately told her to call them when she was ready to come back. They asked Shen Yan to pick her up, Aunt Shen agreed with a smile, and turned off the video I still didn't forget to tease Lin Shuyi before, "When aunt comes back, remember to tell aunt about your details."
Lin Shuyi's whole body was stiff, but Aunt Shen was still smiling with malicious intent.
Father Shen turned off the video in a snap, and greeted Lin Shuyi, "Don't pay attention to her, go down to eat, and behave like an elder all day long."
Shen Fu just opened the door and walked in, wiping the sweat off his head with a towel as he walked, "Who? Auntie?"
Shen's father nodded, Shen Fu looked at Lin Shuyi's stiff look, and then thought of his aunt's usual speaking style, thinking about what she said to Lin Shuyi, he smiled and went forward to embrace Lin Shuyi's shoulder, "She's always been like this, just get used to it."
In fact, Lin Shuyi didn't find Aunt Shen's words annoying at all, on the contrary, she gave people an innate sense of intimacy, it was the teasing words between the lines that made Lin Shuyi blush a little.
"Why did you go?"
Shen Fu froze when he heard the words, "It's nothing, I practiced with my brother."
It seems that Shen Yan hasn't exercised much, but in fact his muscles are not vegetarian at all, and he is really not at the same level as Chen Fang. The two of them only practiced for a while, and Shen Fu felt his whole body started to sweat.
"Then hurry up and take a shower, you smell of sweat." Old Man Shen stared at Shen Fu, and Shen Fu put his hands off Lin Shuyi with a smile, "Aren't you going to see Auntie?"
"She will be back next month, so take your time."
Shen Fu's eyes widened suddenly, "Really? Why is it so early this year?"
"Said there was something to tell us."
Shen Fu wiped the sweat from his forehead again with a towel, and said with a twitch of the corner of his mouth, "Good news? Could it be pregnancy?"
Aunt Shen is already in her thirties this year, but she has never had a child, which can be regarded as Mr. Shen's heart disease. However, neither of them has any plans to have a child. Let alone talk about it, and they don't take it seriously at all. Aunt Shen still She always uses the fact that she doesn't look like a 30-year-old person to prevaricate Mr. Shen, but it doesn't look like Gui, her body functions will gradually get old little by little even if she is young, don't treat her Adults and children are not good.
What's more, Shen Yan is about to get married and have children. If Shen Fu and Lin Shuyi are not in this situation, maybe when the two young children are born, she, the aunt, has not yet given birth. Is it still plausible
Hearing what Shen Fu said, Mr. Shen was in good spirits. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case. He wished he could call Aunt Shen again right away.
Father Shen is quite sensible, "It's better not to ask, Xiaoman will tell you when she comes back, and I don't know if it's true, why do you ask?"
Only then did Mr. Shen regain his composure, and waited for Aunt Shen to come back to reveal whether the good news was what they thought.
So the second good news in this little eve is that Aunt Shen is coming back soon.
The family happily sat together, discussing what to do if Aunt Shen's child was born.
While talking, Shen Ma suddenly took a look at Shen Fu and Lin Shuyi, and asked, "What about you?"
Shen Fu, "Huh?"
"Aren't you going to have a baby?"
Lin Shuyi was a little confused by Shen Ma's sudden question, they had thought about these questions, but they didn't delve into them, now that Shen Ma suddenly asked, they seemed to have to give an accurate answer.
Shen Fu glanced at Lin Shuyi, and said with a smile, "Yes, of course, Xiaoyi likes children very much, but I haven't thought about it yet."
Mr. Shen also said, "Although you two are still young, you should consider this kind of thing. If you want to, you have to make preparations in advance. Whether it is adoption or surrogacy, you have to make preparations in advance."
Lin Shuyi tilted his head in doubt, "Surrogate?" Adoption is fine, but what is a surrogate
Everyone didn't expect that Lin Shuyi didn't know about this. Look at me, I see you. In the end, brother Shen explained blankly, "It's the artificially bred child of you and Shen Fu's sperm combined with a woman's egg."
Lin Shuyi was completely shocked. This was the first time he knew that a child could still be born like this. Can a child be born without a union? Will the child born in this way be like Shen Fu, but why is it difficult for him to accept it? A child born from another woman's egg? What if he looks like Shen Fu and other women at the same time? Lin Shuyi felt that he was a bit incompetent.
"Let's adopt it." Shen Fu said suddenly, in fact, not only Lin Shuyi couldn't accept it, Shen Fu also felt that he couldn't accept it after thinking about it.
"Then adopt them, adopt two, and bring them up together to have a companion, what do you think?"
As long as they cross this hurdle, adopting a few is not a big problem. After all, with their family background, adopting a few can allow them to receive the best education.
"It just so happens that your aunt's work has something to do with this. When she comes back, you should discuss it carefully."
Shen Fu and Lin Shuyi looked at each other and nodded, this matter is decided, the last ball will be played after Aunt Shen comes back.
"Let's eat then. Xiaoyi fried the taro and glutinous rice balls. They won't taste good when they get cold."
