Black Lotus is reborn. Hush! Just lie down and be quiet.

Xia Qingqing counted and found that the Shen family was really large. There were already sixteen or seventeen people squeezed into the living room. It was very lively.

"Qingqing is awake!"

Shen Qiuyan enthusiastically took her hand and introduced them to her one by one.

My eldest brother Shen Qiufeng and his wife have two sons and one daughter. The eldest son is in the army, and the two younger ones are in school.

My second brother, Shen Qiusong, and his wife, and their two sons are all still in school.

My third brother Shen Qiuhua and his wife have a 10-year-old son Shen Zexi and a 6-year-old daughter Shen Jinzhi. Both children are very smart, cute and lively.

The eldest sister Shen Qiuyan and her husband Dongfang Ming only brought their youngest daughter Dongfang Ying, as their two older sons were in the army.

The 17-year-old Dongfang Ying looks like her mother, but more delicate. Her personality is also very much like her mother, straightforward and lively, and she especially admires her uncle Shen Qiubai.

Xia Qingqing greeted everyone one by one. Fortunately, she had prepared a gift for the meeting early.

The three brothers all like to drink tea, so I gave each of them a can of tea.

The three sisters-in-law received a piece of high-end cashmere fabric. The eldest sister-in-law has a calm personality, so she got a dark blue fabric. The second sister-in-law is more lively, so she got a camel-colored one. The third sister-in-law has a reserved personality, so she got a black one.

"Thank you Qingqing, this material feels really soft."

The second sister-in-law, Sun Jingyi, praised with a smile. The eldest and third sisters-in-law were also very satisfied with the gifts. The weather was getting cold, so it was just right to make a new coat.

"As long as the sisters-in-law like it."

Xia Qingqing responded calmly and gave gifts to the younger generations.

In fact, although they are younger than her, they are only a few years younger than her. Some of them in the army are a few years older than her.

Thanks to Shen Qiubai, she was promoted to aunt and aunt at a young age.

She prepared red envelopes for all the younger generations, regardless of their age, and all of them were twenty yuan.

After receiving the red envelopes, the other children thanked her and put them in their pockets. They did not dare to open them in front of her. Only Dongfang Ying was brave enough to open the red envelope and take a look. She shouted happily: "Aunt, I love you so much!"

Twenty dollars!

She only has five dollars pocket money a month!

The other children exchanged glances, made excuses to go out and play in the yard, then took out red envelopes from their pockets, opened them, and gasped.

My aunt is so rich!

They like their aunt so much!

"Qingqing, why do you want to pack such a big bag? It's a waste of money!"

Shen Qiuyan was outspoken and said something scolding.

"It's the first time we meet, it's not like I give it to you every day." Xia Qingqing said with a smile.

"She is rich. Her clothing store opened yesterday and made a gross profit of 10,000 a day. Don't be polite to her!" Shen Qiubai joked.

"What? A clothing store makes so much money?"

Everyone was shocked. Although they were all cadres and held high positions, their salaries were only between 100 and 300 yuan. The highest paid were the two elders, whose retirement salary was 400 to 500 yuan.

I didn't expect Xia Qingqing's gross profit is 10,000 a day. How much money does that make?

"Not all clothing stores make money, only a few do." Shen Qiubai said in a light tone, as if he was not praising his wife.

"When we first opened, the customers were all excited, but they died down after a few days."

Xia Qingqing explained modestly that if she continued to praise him, it might cause a conflict.

After all, there are three sisters-in-law!

Shen Qiubai gave her a knowing look and stopped praising her.

He knew that his three sisters-in-law looked down on Qingqing to some extent, which was why he said that.

Sure enough, Sun Jingyi and the other three all looked up to Xia Qingqing and no longer dared to underestimate her.

When they first found out that Xia Qingqing was from Shanghai and had no father or mother, they did look down on her a little. It couldn't be said that they looked down on her, but they just didn't take her that seriously. If Xia Qingqing was the daughter of a noble family in Beijing, they would definitely take her more seriously.

"No wonder she can control our Qiu Bai so well. If I were a man, I would definitely listen to Qingqing. She is so beautiful and capable, it would be hard to find someone like her even with a lantern!"

Sun Jingyi is a master at livening up the atmosphere. Seeing that the atmosphere in the living room was a bit quiet, she made a joke.

"Qingqing is a doctor. It was she who took care of Qiubai's health."

Although Shen Qiuyan was a bit thick-skinned, she could sense that something was wrong and praised Xia Qingqing a lot.

"Qingqing prescribed some medicine for me and your dad. After taking it for a few days, my body became much looser. Your dad doesn't cough at night anymore, he just snores, which keeps me awake!"

Cheng Yueyun also followed suit and even made a comment about the old man.

"You sleep better than anyone else!"

Shen Junrong muttered softly, and his snoring was so loud that even the people next door could hear it.

The atmosphere in the living room became more and more relaxed, everyone started talking and laughing, and Xia Qingqing also said a few words from time to time. It was not too dull, but not too enthusiastic either. It was the first time they met, so she had to be restrained.

Her overall impression of the Shen family was pretty good. The three brothers weren't talkative, but they were very caring towards Shen Qiubai. Although the three sisters-in-law had their own little thoughts, they were all straightforward and not two-faced.

The three sisters-in-law and Shen Qiuyan prepared dinner. Xia Qingqing wanted to help, but was driven out by them.

"How can you let a new daughter-in-law work? Go out and have fun!"

Xia Qingqing had no choice but to come out. Several men were chatting in the living room. She went over to listen and found the topic was very heavy. They were talking about the war with the neighboring country.

The children were playing in the yard and it looked like they were having a lot of fun.

"Aunt, your skirt is so pretty, and your sweater is also beautiful. I haven't seen them for sale in Beijing."

Dongfang Ying was whispering with another girl. When she saw Xia Qingqing come out, she waved at her vigorously.

The girl's name is Shen Jinxiu. She is the same age as Dongfang Ying. She is the eldest brother's daughter. She is introverted and quiet. The two cousins ​​were in the same class in elementary school, junior high school and high school, and their relationship is better than that of real sisters.

"The sweaters and skirts are from my store. I asked the store to send a few sets over."

Xia Qingqing was very generous. The sweater was imported from Guangzhou and the skirt was made in the factory. The cost was not high, so giving her a few sets was no big deal.

"It's very expensive, isn't it?"

Dongfang Ying was hesitant, as she felt embarrassed to ask for it for free.

"It's not expensive. I'm your elder, and I can't refuse a gift from an elder."

Xia Qingqing took advantage with a smile, even though she was only three years older than the two girls.

"Thank you, little aunt!"

Dongfang Ying and Shen Jinxiu thanked in unison, their eyes sparkling with joy. They would be able to wear beautiful floral dresses soon!

"So good!"

Xia Qingqing patted them both on the head. It felt really good to be an elder.

"Aunt, are the girls in Shanghai particularly fashionable?" Dongfang Ying was particularly curious about Shanghai.

Although Shen Jinxiu didn't say anything, her eyes were also full of curiosity.

"Relatively speaking, Shanghai is more fashionable. Are you going to take the college entrance exam next year?"

"Well, Jinxiu and I both plan to apply to a university in Shanghai. Don't tell my uncle, otherwise my mother will find out." Dongfang Ying said in a low voice.

"Your mother doesn't let you go to Shanghai?" Xia Qingqing asked.

"She asked me to stay in the capital, and I want to go out and see the world."

Dongfang Ying likes talking to Xia Qingqing. They are about the same age and can talk to each other.

"I won't tell your mother."

Xia Qingqing didn't promise not to tell Shen Qiubai, because she would definitely tell him.

Dongfang Ying is very talkative, while Shen Jinxiu speaks very little, so they are very qualified listeners. After chatting for less than half an hour, Xia Qingqing knew the ideals of these two girls.

Shen Jinxiu wants to be a reporter, and a war reporter reporting from the front lines. Although the girl looks quiet, she is actually very opinionated and courageous.

Dongfang Ying looked carefree, but her dream was to form a band, which was beyond Xia Qingqing's expectations.
