Uncle San held a bulging red envelope in his wrinkled hands and handed it to Wen Wen:

“This is something I prepared many years ago.”

He was trembling, his voice usually hoarse and strong like a gong, but at this moment he showed a rare friendly side:

"Tu Long has been saying he won't get married these past few years, and we, as elders, have been so worried about it that our hair has turned gray. Now that he's willing to start a family with you, it's a blessing for both of you. Live a good life from now on, and try to have a big, fat boy soon."

Wenwen looked at her third uncle's old face and felt ashamed.

My third uncle is nearly ninety years old. To be honest, how many more years can he remain healthy?

She and her boss lied to him about getting married, and she felt embarrassed to accept the red envelope.

"Third Uncle, please keep this money to buy delicious food and take care of yourself."

Third Uncle pushed his hand forward.

"Tu Long gave me a lot of money before, but I kept it all and didn't spend it... This money should be given to you. The fact that he recognizes you shows that you two are destined to be together."

Shen Tulong: "Take it."

Anyway, he will pay for the honoring of his third uncle out of his own pocket, so there will be no problem with money.

Wenwen took it with a guilty conscience.

Third Uncle said to the others:

"After all, this is a make-up wedding banquet. We don't need those extravagant ceremonies. We just need to enjoy the meal in harmony."

As soon as these words were spoken, the relatives who were originally gathered around the table and wanted to make a fuss shut up and no one dared to say anything more.

The Third Uncle turned to Wenwen and said, "Next time you come back, bring your daughter with you. As a grandfather, I have never seen a child in person!"

"Good good."

Wenwen clutched the corner of her clothes and forced a smile on her face.

As she said this, she glanced at her boss out of the corner of her eye.

Shen Tulong's expression remained calm and he was not moved at all.

After this little incident, the wedding banquet finally returned to its happy atmosphere.

There was fragrant braised pork and tender spareribs with sauce on the table, and everyone started to raise their glasses and chat.

Wenwen, however, had no appetite.

She took a few small bites, feeling like a stone was hanging in her heart.

She suddenly felt that she shouldn't have lied to her third uncle. If such an old man knew the truth, he would be so sad.

But, on second thought, if I let my third uncle know that Shen Tulong has never been married and has always adhered to the principle of not getting married.

Then... he will be even more sad.

Wenwen was confused for a long time.

It’s best to keep it a secret for a lifetime. At least in the eyes of the third uncle, Shen Tulong is really married and has children.

It can be said that he has fulfilled his wish.

At this moment, Sangu's eyes suddenly lit up:

"By the way, since the kids aren't home yet, how about a video call? It would be so meaningful for them to see their parents get married!"

"what?"

Wen Wen's heart instantly rose to her throat and the chopsticks in her hand almost fell on the table.

Children can't lie, how could she recognize Shen Tulong!

Once this video is connected, the truth will be revealed!

Wen Wen forced a smile: "...No, no, the child is probably resting right now, so let's not disturb him."

Sixth Aunt: "Just play the video and take a look. Third Uncle must want to see it too, right?"

The third aunt and the sixth aunt sang the same tune and were about to make things difficult for him, but they glanced and saw that Shen Tulong's face was as ugly as ice.

He stared at them with sharp eyes, like ice chips.

"Even eating can't stop you from talking?" he asked coldly.

The two were speechless for a moment.

Shen Tulong said, "My daughter is timid. You are all strangers. Who will be responsible if she cries in fear? Next time I will personally bring her back to see my uncle. I won't be able to wait even for a few days!"

Hearing his firm tone, the others didn't dare to make a fuss.

Third Uncle has always understood Shen Tulong's temper. Although he also wants to see the child, it is not to the point where he must see him.

After all, the preference for boys over girls is deeply ingrained in the village.

If it was a boy, he would definitely insist on seeing it. But if it was a girl, since Tu Long was not willing, he would just let it go.

Only then did Wenwen breathe a sigh of relief.

She was thinking: I need to finish this meal quickly and leave quickly, otherwise I don’t know what will happen next...

at the same time.

Gan Qi in the city had just packed up the painting supplies in his studio.

The colors in her paint palette were not yet dry, and her brushes were neatly inserted in the brush holder.

I looked and it was already twelve o'clock noon.

Gan Qi stretched and rubbed his sore shoulders.

What are you having for lunch today?

Or maybe the beef noodle shop on the corner?

Before going out, she sent a message to Tao Xixi, but only received a reply saying "I'm coaxing my boyfriend, let's talk later."

Tao Xixi hasn't received a reply from her boyfriend in the past two days and is starting to get a little anxious.

She used to act so confident, but now that she hasn’t seen her boyfriend send her any messages these past few days, she’s started to lower her stance!

Sometimes I think that love is really an interesting thing.

The competition between lovers is always going on in secret, it is simply an emotional game.

From beginning to end, Gan Qi never asked who her boyfriend was.

Tao Xixi always said: I will let you see her when our relationship is stable and the time is right.

Gan Qi has been concentrating on drawing these past two days, making rapid progress, and no one has bothered her.

Being able to finish the drawing quietly, she finally regained her former calm state.

Gan Qi put on her canvas bag and took the elevator downstairs.

As soon as she left the building, she keenly noticed: Why are there so few people around here today?

This is obviously a busy intersection, and there are office buildings next to it. Every time it's lunchtime, it's crowded with people.

Why is it that today... there is obviously a lot less.

She checked the time on her phone. It was clearly lunch time and today was a weekday, so there were usually a lot of people coming downstairs to eat.

Just as he was curious, Gan Qi walked to the intersection and was about to go diagonally across.

The moment she raised her foot, she was stunned.

——She saw a scene that she could never imagine in her life.

On the zebra crossing in the middle of the road, Lian Shengpi, wearing a casual windbreaker, was helping an old lady with gray hair and a cane to cross the road!

Ok? ? ?

The old lady walked with a staggering step, but her face was filled with a kind smile.

Lian Shengpi bent down slightly and patiently reminded him, "Walk slowly and be careful on the road."

The sunlight fell on him, revealing a bit of gentleness.

This strange scene made Gan Qi freeze.

She rubbed her eyes, thinking she had seen the wrong person.

But when I looked closely, it was indeed Lian Shengpi.

so magical...

Because of what happened before, when she saw Lian Shengpi, she subconsciously wanted to retreat and run away.

But now this scene made her feel that this world was fake.

Gan Qi lifted her stiff legs and stepped back, afraid of being seen by him.

She rubbed her forehead. "Strange! I haven't eaten mushrooms in the past two days, and there's nothing wrong with my diet... Why would I have this hallucination?"

She walked in another direction and decided to have spicy hot pot instead of beef noodles today.

As I walked to the entrance of the store, the owner was chatting enthusiastically with several other people.

"You know, the eldest son of the Lian family is a really good man! He donated a lot of money to charity! He even funded the construction of several kindergartens."

"Not only that, he built the hospital next to us, and he also built a nursing home in the new district."

"Yes, yes, yes. Young Master Lian has even started a foundation to provide treatment for the disabled and help them find jobs."

……

Listening to these conversations, Gan Qi was numb.
