Best friends transmigrate into a book! They marry a high-ranking official! If you run, I run too!

The Gu family's New Year's Eve dinner was very sumptuous, with fish, shrimp, meat, and spicy rabbit. Everyone raised their glasses together and enjoyed a bountiful New Year.

After Lunar New Year's Eve comes Lunar New Year's Day.

The first day of the Lunar New Year for the Gu family was no different from previous years.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Gu Shuhe witnessed the Shen family's life for the first time.

People began arriving at the Shen family's residence one after another starting at eight o'clock in the morning.

Those people pushed their bicycles, their feet covered in snow and mud, and after wiping themselves in front of the Shen family's courtyard, they entered with smiles, each carrying something in their hands.

After entering the main room, the person left shortly afterward.

People kept coming and going until 10:30 a.m. before the arrival of more people finally stopped.

In the end, only the Shen family's younger uncle and his family stayed for lunch.

The Shen family's younger uncle has four children.

The oldest one will only be twenty years old after the Chinese New Year and is not married yet.

So everyone came to offer New Year's greetings.

Chen Ying and Shen's aunt were cooking in the kitchen.

Shen Tingzhi led her cousin into the house to see the face cream and lipstick she had recently bought.

The lipstick was given to her by Gu Shuhe on New Year's Eve yesterday.

Among Gu Shuhe's dowry was a box of lipsticks, which Wen Tang had slipped into it.

On the morning of her wedding, when Wen Tang was doing her hair and makeup, she said, "Everyone loves beauty. Take these lipsticks with you. If there is a suitable opportunity in the future, you can give them to your in-laws. Although few people in our county use them, if you have been to the city, you will know that city women use them and they will cherish them."

On New Year's Eve, Shen Pengfei gave red envelopes to all the children in his family, including Gu Shuhe.

Gu Shuhe felt that she should also give something to her in-laws!

She had originally planned to give a red envelope as well.

She went back to her room, took the money, and made three red envelopes, one for Chen Ying, one for Shen Tingyu, and one for Shen Tingzhi.

But neither Chen Ying nor Shen Tingyu wanted it.

Shen Tingyu said in a tone that seemed to say: "If I ask you for a red envelope at my age, wouldn't I be laughed at?"

Shen Tingci also said that he didn't need to give it to him.

Gu Shuhe didn't insist.

Chen Ying shouldn't say, "Your father and I are still so young, how could we take your money?"

"Put it away quickly, it's good that you have the intention."

"We don't want the money. You should give our family a grandson as soon as possible. I'd love that more than anyone else."

Upon hearing this, Gu Shuhe instinctively looked at Shen Tingci.

Shen Tingci "..."

Don't look at him, because he has no say in this matter.

She couldn't make the decision herself, but Shen Tingci would shift the blame elsewhere, so she said, "After the New Year, I'll have Tingyu give you a grandson."

"It's okay if we come later, otherwise you wouldn't be able to manage it all by yourself."

Shen Tingyu had no idea that his brother was shifting the blame onto someone else, and he even crossed his legs and sat there shyly with his head down.

Chen Ying and Shen Tingyu refused, and Shen Tingzhi was also embarrassed to accept. "Sister-in-law, I'm already so old, so please don't give me any. I'll give a red envelope to my nephew or niece after you have your baby!"

Gu Shuhe thought of the lipsticks Wen Tang had put in her dowry chest, so she ran back to her room and picked out two pretty ones that were also suitable for Chen Ying and Shen Tingzhi, and gave them to the two of them.

Chen Ying wasn't one of those rural farming mothers-in-law, and she was quite particular about her clothes and appearance when she went out.

Sometimes, it's necessary to dress up for certain occasions.

She knew that lipsticks were expensive and hard to buy; they couldn't be found in their small county town, and they had to go to the city to buy them, specifically the Friendship Store.

So she was pleasantly surprised when Gu Shuhe gave her the lipstick.

Shen Tingzhi was even more delighted. Girls her age are at the age where they should be dressing up, and she especially loves things like lipstick.

I immediately went to find a mirror and applied it to my lips.

After applying the lipstick, Shen Tingzhi was pleasantly surprised. "This color... if you don't look closely, it doesn't look like lipstick at all. It's not vibrant at all."

Shen Tingzhi also showed it to her mother and other people.

Chen Ying's eyes lit up when she saw it. "It only looks good, not glamorous."

Her expectant gaze fell on the one in her hand.

Gu Shuhe then told her, "Mom, I also picked this one out based on your age. You can try it on and see if it looks good!"

“My sister-in-law gave me a lot of lipsticks. If none of these suit you, I’ll go pick some more.”

Having found a reason, Chen Ying immediately started trying: "Then I'll give it a try!"

While applying the lipstick, Chen Ying mumbled, "It's definitely suitable. The one you picked for Tingzhi is quite suitable."

Sure enough, after applying it, her complexion did look better, and "I even look a bit fairer," Chen Ying said to herself in the mirror.

Shen Tingzhi nodded upon seeing it, "Yes, it makes people look more stylish."

Chen Ying couldn't contain her joy. "Shuhe, your lipstick is really good, much better than mine!"

Gu Shuhe proudly replied, "Yes, these are produced in my sister-in-law's factory. She makes all the colors. She said that lipstick is not just for making people's lips red, but more for making people look good."

"But everyone's skin tone and temperament are different, so there should be many choices of lipstick shades."

Chen Ying then praised Wen Tang as well, saying, "Your sister-in-law is not only capable but also smart. No wonder she can be the factory manager. She's so capable!"

Because the lipstick looked good, Shen Tingzhi showed it off to her cousin the very next day.

He even applied some makeup to his cousin's face, saying, "Look, isn't it especially pretty?"

My cousin nodded, then looked enviously at the lipstick in her hand.

Shen Tingzhi told her, "My sister-in-law gave it to me."

Then at lunchtime, Shen's cousin showed her mother her mouth to see if there were any changes.

Before Aunt Shen could speak, she started saying, "Isn't the lipstick Sister Zhi put on for me pretty?"

"It was given to her by my sister-in-law."

After saying that, she stared at Gu Shuhe with longing eyes, clearly wanting it.

Shen Tingzhi was annoyed with her cousin, who wanted everything!

Show her off a bit, and she'll say, "You still want more?"

Before Shen Tingzhi could get even angrier, Gu Shuhe said, "Yes, this was given to me by my sister-in-law. I remembered it yesterday, so I found it and gave one to Mom and one to Tingzhi."

"I have two more here, I'll go get them for my aunt and Xiaomin." Xiaomin is my cousin's name.

Shen's uncle has two daughters, but the other daughter is too young to receive a gift like lipstick, so Gu Shuhe didn't include her.

The aunt said very embarrassedly, "Shuhe, don't listen to her nonsense, no, no."

Despite saying she didn't want it, Aunt Shen was very happy once she got the item.

Because she was happy, Aunt Shen talked about the day she married Shen Tingci: "Shuhe, let me tell you, in all my years, I have never seen such a generous sister-in-law. Your sister-in-law is really good to you."

"She's even better than someone's own older sister."

Gu Shuhe nodded earnestly, "My sister-in-law is a very good person!"

Aunt Shen agreed, adding, "Your family is truly blessed to have married such a wonderful daughter-in-law."

Chen Ying quickly said, "Our family is also blessed to have married Shuhe."
