Standing at the door, Shen Dong was stunned when he saw Shen Yi's actions.

On the sofa in the hall, his parents, three uncles and three aunts were already sitting among them, and there were several elderly people in their twilight years sitting next to Mr. Shen.

As for the other guests who came to pay New Year's greetings, they all stood respectfully by the side, not daring to sit even if there were benches.

After all, this is the mansion of Mr. Shen, and they also know that no matter how awesome they are outside, there is no place for them here, and it is better to stand.

Mr. Shen was chatting with those old men. Seeing Shen Yi barging in, he immediately stretched out his hand to support Shen Yi with a smile, took out a big red envelope from his pocket and handed it over: "Okay, Xiaoyi, come on, this is Put away the red envelope that grandpa gave you."

"Thank you grandpa!"

Shen Yi stretched out his hands to take the heavy red envelope: "My parents are busy with work and are still in Qingyang City, so they won't be coming back this year. The two of them asked me to pay New Year's greetings to you instead."

"I know they are busy with work, your dad has already called me this morning, it's okay!"

Mr. Shen just smiled and gave up.

"Xiao Yizi is back? Come, come, Grandpa Chen also has a big red envelope here!"

"Xiao Yizi, come and knock me one, one is enough, and I will give you a big red envelope."

"Xiao Yizi, where is your girlfriend? Did you bring it back? Which family's daughter is it? Oh, I used to think about marrying my precious granddaughter to you, but it seems hopeless."

Seeing Shen Yi, the old men next to him also laughed from ear to ear.

"Grandpa Chen, Grandpa Guo's grandson is here to kowtow to you for New Year greetings."

Like a child, Shen Yi kowtowed his head on the ground in a well-behaved manner, and then took the big red envelopes from those old men with a smile.

Although he is in his thirties, in front of the older generation, he is always like a child who can't grow up.

With his kowtow to pay New Year's greetings, the atmosphere became more active in an instant.

"Xiaodong, what are you still doing in a daze? Hurry up and kowtow to grandpa, there is a red envelope."

After Shen Yi paid New Year's greetings to the elders, seeing that Shen Dong was still standing still, he immediately greeted them.

Swish!
The lively atmosphere just now quieted down instantly, and dozens of people present all fixed their eyes on Shen Dong.

Shen Dong was the eldest grandson of the Shen family, and he had always been quite mysterious. This was the first time he appeared in front of so many people in public, so it naturally aroused everyone's interest.

Immediately, in front of him, everyone took the initiative to make way for a passage.

Shen Dong carried the gift and walked up to Mr. Shen. After putting down the gift, he respectfully knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the old man: "Grandpa, happy new year, my grandson wishes you a new year."

"well"

Mr. Shen said hello several times, stretched out his hand to help Shen Dong up, then took out a red envelope from his pocket with trembling hands and stuffed it in: "This is yours, keep it."

"Thank you grandpa!"

Shen Dong smiled and put away the red envelope.

"Why did you come? Didn't I tell you to get up early?"

At this time, Shen Jianguo said something to Shen Dong in a low voice, and then introduced to Shen Dong: "This is your grandfather Guo, this is your grandfather Chen, they are all your grandfather's comrades in arms."

"Grandpa Guo, Happy New Year, Grandpa Chen"

Shen Dong bowed slightly to pay tribute to the several elders present.

"Old squad leader, this is your precious grandson, right? He is indeed a good-looking talent, majestic, quite like you back then. Xiaodong, come, this is Grandpa Chen's red envelope, you must accept it."

As the eldest grandson of the Shen family and the future heir of the Shen family, these old men naturally did not dare to ask Shen Dong to kowtow to them in New Year greetings, but they still took out red envelopes and stuffed them with Shen Dong.

Although Shen Dong didn't know these old men, but through his father's introduction, he also knew that two of these old men belonged to the Eight Great Families of Shangjing, and the others were officials from other provinces. It can be said that he was also a prince when he was young.

Old Master Shen naturally pulled Shen Dong to sit next to him, which undoubtedly represented Shen Dong's status in the Shen family. Even Shen Jianguo, the current head of the Shen family, could only sit on the sidelines.

"Third uncle, where is Xiaohui? Why didn't you see him?"

Shen Yi rubbed Old Man Shen's shoulders, looked left and right, and asked third uncle Shen Jianye.

Shen Jianye snorted angrily: "I threw him to the grassroots level of the military headquarters for training, so as not to cause him trouble in Beijing every day."

"Are there no holidays during the Chinese New Year? I still think about our three brothers getting together."

Shen Yi rubbed Mr. Shen's shoulders vigorously, and gave a wry smile.

And then, Shen Dong naturally became the focus of everyone present, and those old men kept finding topics to chat with Shen Dong.

Although these old men had a bit of arrogance, Shen Dong was able to chat with them neither humble nor overbearing, and was quite devoted.

As for the topics they talked about, they were basically what Shen Dong was good at, so it wasn't difficult to talk about them.

Seeing that Shen Dong was so engaged in chatting with his old comrades-in-arms, Mr. Shen was very happy, and he confirmed Shen Dong's status in the Shen family even more.

The lunch was made by the nanny. Shen Jianguo, the patriarch of the Shen family, saw that it was getting late, so he found a suitable opportunity to interrupt everyone's chat: "Uncles, the meal is ready, let's eat while we eat." Can we talk?"

"Okay, let's eat, old chief, can your body drink two cups?"

"Your body, I don't know yet? Let's forget it. When your body recovers, I will have a drink with you, old chief!"

"Good good!"

Several elderly people sat in wheelchairs and were pushed to the dining room, while everyone obediently followed behind them.

The old men naturally sat at one table, Shen Dong originally planned to sit at another table with Shen Yi, but was pulled to the side by the old man and sat down.

Shen Yi originally thought about sitting at the same table with the old man, but looking at the people sitting at that table, he decided to forget it after thinking about it.

After all, apart from those old men, there were only Shen Dong's father and third uncle Shen Jianye at that table.

Shen Jianguo and Shen Jianye sat at this table, and they only served tea and water, so he didn't join in the fun, and sat with a few acquaintances, eating and chatting.

After lunch, everyone left one after another. After all, everyone knew that the Shen family had a family reunion dinner on New Year's Eve, so they couldn't stay and take advantage of other people's New Year's Eve dinner.

"Old squad leader, it's getting late, so I'll take my leave. You must pay attention to your health, take a good rest, and I will come to see you next year."

The old man Guo who stayed in the end also planned to take his family to leave.

But Mr. Shen grabbed his hand and said: "It's not easy for you to come to Beijing. If you come and leave on the same day, aren't you afraid that the old squad leader won't be able to live here? Just stay here and stay with me more , we are both elderly people, we only see each other once a year, I still have a lot of family life to tell you."

Hearing this, old man Guo's twilight eyes were filled with tears: "Old squad leader, you."

Mr. Shen stretched out his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of Mr. Guo's eyes: "Don't cry this New Year's Eve, I think we were sweating, bleeding and not crying back then, why are we living more and more now?"

From the chat just now, Shen Dong learned that Mr. Guo's home is in the south, and it's not easy to come to Beijing.

As for the other old men, their homes are in several provinces near Shangjing, and if they take a plane, they will arrive in an hour or two.

"Old squad leader, Xiaodong, does he have a girlfriend?"

Suddenly, Mr. Guo leaned over his head and said to Shen Qingbai mysteriously: "I have a granddaughter who is pretty good. She is a graduate student from MIT. If there is a chance, I can introduce the two of them to each other."

Hearing this, Shen Qingbai looked at Mr. Guo with a smile, and asked: "This is really a coincidence, Xiaodong has a girlfriend, and her name is Lin Wanqiu."

Hearing this, Mr. Guo didn't continue this topic.

After all, he was just asking, besides, the grandson of the eldest son of the Shen family must have high eyesight, and he may not necessarily have a high opinion of his granddaughter.

So he felt that the girlfriend Shen Dong was looking for must be the daughter of the super family of Yan Kingdom.

At this moment, Shen Dong and Shen Yi were chatting with several family members of Mr. Guo's side. These family members could be brought by Mr. Guo's side.

While everyone was drinking tea and chatting, there was a noisy sound from outside the small courtyard.

Hearing this voice, Shen Dong and Shen Yi glanced at each other, they were startled, thinking something was wrong in their hearts.

When the door of the hall was pushed open, a gust of cool wind blew in with snow in it.

"Brother, I'm here to give you New Year's greetings!"

It was Shen Qingbai's younger brother Shen Mancang and his family who came here.

Ever since Shen Mancang brought his family members to visit when Mr. Shen was hospitalized last time, he never went back to Erjiang City at all and stayed in Shangjing!

Now that New Year's Eve is here, they naturally came to have a reunion dinner.

Shen Qingbai looked at his younger brother, bitterness flashed in his heart, but there was still a smile on his face, and he said: "Why did you come to Beijing? You didn't call me in advance, so I can send someone to pick you up!"

"Brother, we didn't leave in the first place. After visiting you last time, didn't I think that Chinese New Year would be coming soon? It's fine to go back, so I just stayed in Shangjing."

Shen Mancang walked straight to Shen Qingbai with the gift: "Brother, how is your health? Are you feeling better?"

"Much better, able to walk on the ground!"

Shen Qingbai smiled.

Hearing this, there was a flash of surprise and displeasure in Shen Mancang's eyes, but this displeasure quickly disappeared.

He turned his head and greeted his children: "What are you still doing in a daze? Why don't you hurry up and kowtow to your uncle for the new year? And you hurry up and give your uncle a New Year's greeting. The uncle has a big red envelope for you."

Seeing this, the descendants came forward to kowtow to Shen Qingbai one by one to pay New Year's greetings.

Fortunately, Shen Qingbai prepared enough red envelopes today, and he was not stingy when facing his second brother's family's New Year greetings, and gave each of them two red envelopes.

Of course, these red envelopes are naturally not as rich as those given to Shen Yi and Shen Dong.

Cough!

After the end of the New Year's greetings, Mr. Guo, who had been isolated all this time, suddenly coughed softly.

Shen Mancang was just about to sit down, when he heard the cough, he shivered suddenly, and turned his head to look at the corner beside him.

When he saw the familiar figure, his eyes were full of fear, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he came back to his senses after a long while, tremblingly said: "Guo Guo, guard Guo, you are here too!"

Mr. Guo used to be Shen Qingbai's bodyguard for a period of time. Later, when the war became tense, he was assigned to the company to make meritorious service.

That's when Mr. Guo was working as a bodyguard for Shen Qingbai. When Shen Mancang learned that his brother had become a high official, he came to curry favor.

At that time, Shen Qingbai saw that the other party was his own brother after all, so he arranged Shen Mancang to work at the grassroots level in the logistics.

But after Shen Mancang took office full of joy, he found that it was just a job of guarding the warehouse, and it was also very hard. Not only did he have to help with loading and unloading, but he was often yelled at by people, so he was so angry.

Not long after, he approached Shen Qingbai and said that he wanted to be a high-ranking official, and he wanted to be a high-ranking official with rich clothes and fine food, and whatever he wanted.

For his younger brother, Shen Qingbai didn't know. He liked to steal and play tricks since he was a child, and he couldn't do serious things at all.

Moreover, he has a bottom line no matter what he does or how he behaves, and he will never let his own brother go through the back door, simply uttering harsh words, saying that if Shen Mancang has the ability, he will take a platoon to the front line to fight, and if he wins, what? Both.

Hearing this, Shen Mancang was terrified.

He is not stupid, he knows that fighting will kill people.

Later, he returned to his post in despair and continued to guard the warehouse.

But this time he learned Jiling, and everyone said he was Shen Qingbai's younger brother, which also made him very successful in the local area.

Later, I don't know who gave him a bad idea, and let him guard against himself and resell the goods in the warehouse.

He, who is obsessed with money, actually agreed.

But the paper couldn't keep the fire in the end, and the matter was quickly found out by the logistics department, but the logistics department was also afraid that Shen Mancang was Shen Qingbai's younger brother, and it was inconvenient to deal with it. After two days of detention, he was released.

But later, I didn't know what happened. This matter reached Shen Qingbai's ears, but at that time he was negotiating work in other places, so he simply sent the guard Mr. Guo back, beat Shen Mancang into the hospital, and gave the stolen money to him. Checked it out and charged it.

At that time, Mr. Guo didn't show mercy at all. He beat him so hard that Shen Mancang lay in the hospital for more than half a year.

But in fact, in the first two or three months, his injury has healed, but in the hospital, he was in charge of food and shelter, the food was not bad, and there were beautiful nurses, so he simply pretended to be sick for another two or three months, and was finally sent to hospital Fang was kicked out.

Shen Mancang, who had lost his job, planned to find Shen Qingbai again, but Shen Qingbai couldn't find it, only Mr. Guo was found.

At the beginning, he planned to make jokes and force Shen Qingbai out, but Mr. Guo had a very violent temper when he was young, and he didn't mean to get used to Shen Mancang at all. Seeing that Shen Mancang refused to leave, he simply made a move.

Later, he could only return to his hometown Erjiang City in despair.

Since then, Mr. Guo has left an indelible shadow in Shen Mancang's heart. Even after decades, when he heard Mr. Guo's voice, he would tremble with fright.
