Shen Rong left suddenly and it was already afternoon when she returned to the county town.

When she returned home, she learned that all the members of her mother's family had come, but went back when she saw that she was not there. Shen Rong did not care about anything else. She took a bunch of gifts, got in a carriage and took her two children straight to her mother's yard.

This carriage was bought by Wang Qing today. Although the courtyard where Shen Rong's parents live is not far away, there are too many things, so it is more convenient to use a carriage to carry them there.

"Mom, I'm late." As soon as Shen Rong entered the door, she saw Lu, who was doing needlework in the yard, calling for help.

They hadn't seen each other for several years. As soon as she came back, she was busy with other things, leaving her mother waiting in the yard with needle and thread in her hand when it was almost dark. She was really derelict in her duty as a daughter.

The two children also held the brocade box and called out to their grandmother, "Grandma, Grandpa, we are here!"

When Mrs. Lu saw that her daughter and granddaughter were holding so many things, she immediately stepped forward to take the things from the two children.

As she got closer, she realized there were still a lot of things in the carriage. "Why are you carrying so many things?"

Shen Wu heard the noise and came out of the house, rushing over to help move things. "You're back, why did you bring so much? We don't lack anything at home."

Shen Rong smiled and said, "Dad, Mom, I bought this in Beijing, just for fun.

It’s not that we have a lot of things, it’s that our family has a large population.

My daughter came back too late yesterday, and the house was in a mess. The gifts for my nephews and nieces were all packed, and I couldn’t find them yesterday. I can’t just let it go like this.”

She took a quick look yesterday and saw that her eldest sister-in-law had given birth to twins again in the past few years, so there were six children in their family alone. Her second sister-in-law gave birth to two more children, four children in total, and even her youngest brother had two boys, so there were twelve children in total, not counting the one in her second sister-in-law's belly.

A family of twenty people, isn't that a prosperous population?

Even if she gave one portion to each person, there would be a lot of stuff.

Shen Wu was quite happy when he told his daughter that the family was growing larger and larger.

After they moved the things in the carriage, the driver drove away and Shen Rong followed her parents into the yard.

"Dad, Mom, when did you move out? You don't live in such a big yard, but in such a small place." Shen Rong looked at the small yard in front of her.

Shen Wu and his wife did not live with their son, but bought a small courtyard on the front street not far from Shen Rong's yard.

The yard is really small. There is no front door. There is only a main house with three rooms. The middle is the reception hall, and there is a bedroom on the east and west sides. On the sides of the main house are the kitchen and firewood room, and the toilet is behind the house.

As soon as you enter the door, you can see the situation in the yard clearly.

Mrs. Lu glanced at her husband and said, "After all, your house belongs to your husband's family. How can we live there for a long time?

Besides, such a large courtyard was empty and lonely, and we were not used to living there. Later, your brothers gave us some money as a tribute, and we saved it with the money we earned from selling grain in the past few years, so we bought this small courtyard. It is close to you, and we can take care of the house at other times."

In fact, they have sons, and living in their daughter's house will affect their sons' reputation, so they thought about moving out. However, there is no need to tell this to their daughter.

Not long after Shen Rong sat down, her brother, sister-in-law, younger brother, and sisters-in-law came with their children.

It was really too late yesterday, and we only met briefly and didn’t have a proper chat!

My eldest nephew Shen Qingwen and my eldest sister-in-law's twin nephews, who were at school and did not have time to go home yesterday, asked for leave from school in the afternoon.

Now the whole family gathered together and the house was very lively.

Among so many children, Ping'an and his sister were the most excited.

Of course, the two or three-year-old nephews and nieces were just as excited.

The children only quieted down a little when Shen Rong took out the gifts she had prepared for everyone.

Because my aunt said everyone has it.

No matter what gifts the aunt prepares for them, they are something the children look forward to.

Shen Rong's gift did not disappoint the children.

The girls received all kinds of exquisite gold, jade jewelry and silk flowers, while the boys received jade pendants in the shapes of small animals, as well as all kinds of new things they had never seen before, which made everyone love them.

As for the gifts for sister-in-law and brother-in-law, they were relatively simple. Each person received a set of rouge and powder, and each family was given a few pieces of cloth suitable for making clothes for the children and adults in the family according to the number of people. Bird's nests and donkey-hide gelatin were also indispensable. There were a lot of other things in total.

The eldest sister-in-law Li Fenglian and the second sister-in-law Ma Xiuxiu were extremely enthusiastic towards Shen Rong. When they saw what Shen Rong had prepared, they smiled like flowers.

They are no longer the ignorant country women they used to be. These rouge and powder are so expensive, not to mention that they are from the capital. And these fabrics are not available in the county. No woman would be unhappy to see these.

Men’s things are the simplest. No matter whether it is the eldest brother or the younger brother, Shen Rong prepared a jade pendant worth one hundred taels for each of them.

In short, no one was left behind.

As for the things prepared for his parents, they were given to Lu when Shen Rong first arrived.

Various bird's nest supplements, ginseng and ganoderma lucidum, as well as cloth, silver, the most practical things.

Everyone sat and talked for a while, each talking about what had happened in the past few years.

The braised meat shop of my eldest and second brothers has expanded by two times and business is booming. The two couples are too busy to handle running the shop alone.

Everyone is used to doing the work by themselves and has no intention of hiring anyone. Another reason is that they are afraid that the secret recipe will be leaked.

My younger brother and his wife gave birth to two sons in succession, one with the surname Shen and the other took their mother's surname. Under the management of Shen Dongting and his wife, the grocery store was run well and business was better than before.

Shen Wu was concerned about his grandchildren studying to take the imperial examinations, so the family had more land every year. During the busy farming season every year, even if he hired help, he would take the children back to work in the fields. In this sense, this could be considered a family of farming and studying.

After her family members finished talking about their own situations, it was Shen Rong's turn. She did not talk about the dangerous things she and Changsheng had encountered in the capital. She only talked about how smart Changsheng was and how he practiced kung fu to fight bandits. Just these words amazed everyone.

"This is such a coincidence, Wang Qing was actually rescued by you..." the sister-in-law exclaimed.

Anyone who has lived on that street knows Wang Qing.

"If Changsheng hadn't learned that skill, he wouldn't have to go fight the bandits..." Shen Wu sighed. He hadn't seen what Changsheng looked like after his brain was restored. Who knew that it would be like this...

"Don't talk nonsense. How can you be sure of this? Besides, didn't my daughter say that Changsheng is fine?" Mrs. Lu was afraid that her daughter would be sad after hearing this, so she interrupted Shen Wu in a hurry.

We had dinner in the courtyard. The food was freshly prepared by my sisters-in-law and they prepared two large tables.

There is one table for the children and another table for the adults.

Shen Wu asked his youngest son to run errands and invited his sixth grandfather and sixth grandmother to come over for dinner.

The whole family had a lively dinner together.

When it was time to go back, the children were reluctant to leave and wanted to go back with each other.
