She quickly packed two baskets of things, which she had dragged Song Shunzi to town to buy. "Keep an eye on your son-in-law. Don't sit in the back like a dead man. Also, watch your mouth. If you can't say anything, then shut up." She was really afraid that he would say something inappropriate when he went back to her parents' house and anger her parents to death.

"Son-in-law, let's go!"

Is he the type to act recklessly? He was just there to support his son-in-law, okay? This woman, instead of praising him, she's scolding him. Lately, her husbandly authority seems to be waning! Has he been neglecting her? Is she getting restless?

Hehehe, just say so if you need anything, it's no big deal!

Let's stretch our muscles and bones in the evening!

"Dad! I'm here. Why is the gate open?"

The old Fang family's courtyard was quiet; only a path had been cleared for people to walk on, while the rest of the yard was covered in snow.

The whole family huddled together on two kang beds, one for the men and one for the women, chatting away. The third bed belonged to Fang Lao Si, who was studying and couldn't be disturbed.

It's the same every year, everyone's used to it, and no one finds it boring.

"Father, my eldest brother is here!" He must have come to deliver holiday gifts.

"Go down and let him into this room." As he spoke, he shrank back, feeling cold as he got older. His bottom was stuck to the kang (a heated brick bed), and he didn't want to move at all.

Fang Laosan got off the kang (a heated brick bed). "Big brother, we're in this room, come in quickly!"

"Coming!"

"Dad, you all live such a comfortable life. In broad daylight, the whole family is huddled together on the kang (heated brick bed). Unlike me, your son, I have to look at the roof every now and then."

Old Man Song didn't reply. "What brings you here? Young Master Song is here too!"

"I'm bringing you a holiday gift! Our Xiaoning is so filial; the winter solstice is just around the corner. She hasn't forgotten you at all."

"grandfather!"

Grandpa Fang snorted coldly. Filial piety? She is quite filial, eating fish and meat herself, but ignoring him, an old man, and making excuses when asked to borrow a few coins.

"Thank you for your kindness. I'm an old codger, it's kind of you to remember me."

Song Feng: ...

That would be difficult to accept.

“Dad, what are you saying? Who wouldn’t remember you? Who wouldn’t cherish you? Tell me, who buys so much meat for the holidays? It’s because they miss you and want you to eat more. Even this fish, we searched for two days in town before ordering it, and we gave you the biggest one. Dad, how can you say such things? It makes Fengzi and Xiaoning feel heartbroken.”

After a barrage of criticism, the old man was completely stunned. Fang Lao Er and Fang Lao San looked at Fang Youcai with admiration. It had to be the eldest brother; he always went all out, and their father couldn't handle it at all. Only the eldest brother had this ability. They were usually the ones being scolded and ordered around. Why did they secretly feel a little happy seeing their father speechless?

Gods and Buddhas, please don't blame them, they are not unfilial.

"Did you come here specifically to annoy me?"

"What are you saying, Father? Your son and son-in-law have come to bring you holiday gifts."

"You're so kind." He lowered his head as he spoke, then raised it after a moment. He couldn't treat Song Feng like this; he might have to ask him for help again in the future. "How's Ning girl doing lately? Is she managing to keep things at home?"

“Xiao Ning is doing well. She misses you, Grandpa, and she originally wanted to come with us, but now that she's pregnant, and it's cold and slippery, we were worried about her going out, so we didn't let her go.”

This was the first time Old Man Fang had dealt with Song Feng, and he hadn't expected the man to be so eloquent and not at all dull. "It's good that she's alright. We need to be careful now. It's not too late to come back when the roads are clearer. Is your family busy? If you're too busy, just say so. We're all family, so don't be shy. Your uncle and aunt are both free right now. They may not have much else, but they're all strong enough."

"Thank you, sir. I'm managing a bit at home right now, not too much work. If I get busy, please don't hesitate to ask."

Grandpa Fang scrutinized him. He was tall and handsome. Ning girl was lucky. Everyone said that he was marrying someone he didn't deserve, but he never expected to marry such a good person. His future was sure to be bright.

Wow, the eldest son and his family are incredibly lucky.

"Second brother's wife, why haven't you brought a bowl of hot water yet?"

"Right away, right away!"

The old man didn't say anything, so how could they dare to take it? Song Feng looked at the big bowl of hot water. If he went to one house and drank one bowl, he'd have to go to the toilet several times today. He took a small sip and put the bowl down.

"Father, we're leaving now."

"I won't sit here any longer."

"You don't even have a brazier in this room, what are you going to sit on? It's freezing. Besides, my grandfather is busy. Maybe next time. I still need to have Fengzi drive the carriage to my wife's family to deliver gifts."

Unfilial son, unfilial son! Whose son is he anyway? Why is he so eager to curry favor with the Zhao family, and even dragging Song Feng along? What a brainless bastard!

"get out!"
