"Qianqian, your fourth brother asked you to go to Dijiang for an internship during the new year, and then follow Secretary Wu to learn." Mrs. Shi said kindly to Shi Qianqian.
Shi Qianqian couldn't hide the surprise on her face. Although she was not worried about her future employment after graduation, she did not expect it to go so smoothly.
"Thank you godfather, thank you fourth brother." Shi Qianqian thanked him again and again, his face flushed, and he didn't hide his happiness and excitement at this time.
Shi Chengxuan glanced at Grandpa Shi, who was almost smiling, and then moved his eyes to Shi Qianqian, raising his eyebrows slightly.
Probably because Shi Chengxuan was obedient, then father and son were at peace with each other.
According to the rules of the Shi family, New Year's Eve vigils until twelve o'clock, and the next morning at five o'clock in the morning to worship the ancestors. Mr. Shi is so old that he has to go to bed after twelve o'clock. As for the young people, most of them didn't go to sleep, they stayed up until the next morning, and then rested after worshipping their ancestors.
Finally, in the middle of the night, Mrs. Shi handed out the prepared red envelopes one by one, and then was supported by Aunt Xu to rest. Shi Chengxuan was pulled aside by several cousins to play cards.
Several female relatives of the Shi family, those who were familiar with each other sat together to chat and watch TV, and those who were unfamiliar, sat on the side and went their separate ways.
As Shi Chengze said, although she was liked by the old man, the female family members of the Shi family had no feelings for her, and no one around her paid any attention to her.
Wang Yue is the same as her, but those people ignore Wang Yue because her identity is not on the stage, and taking the initiative to talk to her seems to be a loss.
Wang Yue didn't care about this at all, and stayed by Shi Chengze's side all night. He played cards, and she peeled grapes, handkerchiefs, and even prepared tea for several people at Shi Chengze's table. Seeing that they had almost finished drinking, they went to the kitchen to get some snacks to fill their stomachs.
Because it's too good to happen, even though everyone thinks this woman's identity is a little worse, there is still a little smile on her face.
Shi Qianqian kept staring at Wang Yue, seeing her pretending to toss, like a maid, she felt ashamed, and at the same time there was a trace of secret envy in her heart.
She couldn't help but glance at Shi Chengxuan's table next to her. Of course, Wang Yue would not forget the others, but the table was full of things that Shi Chengxuan didn't handle.
Shi Qianqian hesitated for a while, and was driven into the kitchen by that little secret thought in her heart. Not long after, she came out with a glass of hot milk.
"Fourth brother, drink something to warm your stomach." Shi Qianqian put the hot milk on the empty table in front of Shi Chengxuan and called him softly.
"Yeah." Shi Chengxuan responded, neither looking at her nor refusing.
Seeing this scene, Wang Yue tickled the corner of her mouth and looked back.
For the next few hours, Shi Qianqian glanced at the poker table from time to time, the cup of hot milk had been sitting there, no one saw or touched, until it got cold.
It was almost four o'clock, and several men from the Shi family got up one after another and went to wash their faces to find something to eat. The women were already asleep on the sofa, the TV was still on, and it was not known which program was rebroadcasting. The gongs and drums were blaring and firecrackers were blaring. It was quite lively.
After the game was over, Shi Chengxuan got up and went outside.
As soon as the door opened, cold air poured in instantly, he closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and instantly woke up a lot.
He walked out the door, lit a cigarette, but did not smoke, just held it in his hand. Not long after, Shi Chengze, who had just washed his face, also came out. He still had a drawer of melon dumplings in his hand.
Shi Chengxuan shook his head, and by the light of the lantern at the door, he could clearly see that the drawer of melon dumplings was actually quite delicate, and he casually praised, "The craftsmanship is good."
"That's right." Shi Chengze looked rather glorious, "Xiaoyue's craftsmanship is not ordinary."
Seeing his beaming expression, Shi Chengxuan flicked the soot on his hand, "Tell me, what's the matter with me?"
The two brothers can't say a few words all year round, but compared to Shi Chengen, this second brother is more knowledgeable about current affairs, and his attitude is naturally much gentler.
For those who are wise, he will never be too embarrassed.
"It's not a big deal." Shi Chengze swallowed what was in his mouth, "I heard that Dad arranged Qianqian in your company?"
"Um."
"Can you help me arrange one by the way? Just find a more leisurely position. Xiaoyue has a younger sister, and that child is quite honest and shouldn't cause trouble." Shi Chengze asked.
"What kind of trouble can a child cause." Shi Chengxuan smiled, "You can tell Secretary Wu when you go back and let him arrange it."
Shi Chengze also smiled, he looked back at the brightly lit hall, and said casually: "Dad didn't have this plan two months ago, and I don't know why Qianqian suddenly caught his eye, and now even that girl My clothes are made by a tailor with my dad."
Shi Chengxuan said in a light tone, "When you're old, you can just follow it as soon as you want."
Probably because Shi Chengxuan's reaction was too light-hearted, Shi Chengze couldn't help but glance at him and sighed inwardly. I'm afraid only he himself knows what the fourth child is thinking.
People, you still have to be confident enough to not care about those things. For them, the big things are just trivial things.
Like him, there is a turbulent situation at home, he has to carefully study whether it will involve himself.
Even if you are a playful slut, at least you have to have a brain.
After all he had to say, Shi Chengze didn't leave. He took the phone out of his pocket and handed it to Shi Chengxuan, "Look at my son, does he look like me."
Shi Chengxuan glanced at the photos on the phone, the child was not very old, wearing a small red robe, grinning with a toothless smile, it was quite cute. The child's eyebrows and eyes are really similar to Shi Chengze, but the skin is whiter, obviously following his mother.
"It looks like it, what's it called?"
Shi Chengze paused, "I haven't thought of a name yet."
Shi Chengxuan was also silent. The so-called he didn't think about the name, it was not because he really thought about it, but the old man probably didn't plan to recognize this child.
Of course it doesn't matter if you want the surname Shi, but as long as it's not recorded in the family tree, it's just an illegitimate child to the outside world, and Shi Chengze obviously doesn't want that.
He promised to record Shi Qianqian in the family tree before, but he actually wanted to test the old man a little bit, hoping that the old man could think of his son by the way, but unfortunately, the old man didn't mention it at all.
Also from the grandchildren's generation, Shi Chong is already that virtuous, and the old man still remembers it in his heart, but his son didn't even look at it.
"Children can't always be without a name. Instead of relying on others, it's better to find a way by yourself."
"What can I have..." Shi Chengze said halfway through, and suddenly stopped, he patted his head, and suddenly grinned.
