As soon as they heard that Shen Lianxin had returned, the old Shen family could no longer sit still.

Old Madam Shen quickly put on her shoes and went downstairs, "This fourth girl is finally back."

"Mom, go slowly, I'll go with you." Sun Xiaoyue supported the old lady from behind.

Old man Shen also stood up and tried to move, but he took a puff of his pipe and sat back down. The fourth girl had become rich, and it would not look good if the whole family went up to her, so the old lady could go. As an old man, he was too embarrassed to go up to her.

Li Cuilan stood up and wanted to go and take a look, but after thinking for a while she sat down again. She had never helped Shen Lianxin when she was down and out. Although she had never objected when her family helped her, she had never given her a good face.

She is not like Sun Xiaoyue, who has a bold and straightforward personality. She used to be at odds with Shen Lianxin, but now she is not awkward at all in getting along with Shen Lianxin.

Sun Xiaoyue helped the old lady out while calling out in a loud voice, "Qingsong, Qingyun, hurry up, your fourth aunt is back. Go and see your fourth aunt."

Shen Qingsong and Shen Qingyun ran out of the yard, "Mom, wait for me."

Shen Dahu followed out when he heard the call, but Sun Xiaoyue didn't call him, so he stood at the gate of the yard, not knowing what to do. He looked at Li Cuilan.

Li Cuilan was a little discouraged. She was quiet and didn't like to talk, unlike Sun Xiaoyue who had clear likes and dislikes and could express herself fluently.

Then she thought, she is her and the child is the child. She felt embarrassed, and she couldn't stop the child from getting close to her fourth aunt.

He gave Shen Dahu a look, indicating that he should go too.

Shen Dahu received the instructions and happily chased after him.

Shen Lianxin was preparing food in the kitchen. Xu Guihua didn't even bother to be a guest and worked with Shen Lianxin.

The two chatted and laughed, and cooking became more fun.

"Guihua, bring me some more water so I can wash the vegetables later."

After Xu Guihua was sent out, Shen Lianxin quickly filled the rice jar with rice and placed the meat and vegetables bought from the mall on the kitchen floor.

When Xu Guihua came back, she was surprised to see so much meat and vegetables. She felt that Shen Lianxin was really different and had made a fortune.

"I brought these back from the city and put them in the storage room. I just took them out." Shen Lianxin explained guiltily, but Xu Guihua didn't even think about where these things came from. She took it for granted that Shen Lianxin had made a fortune and could build such a luxurious house, so it was natural for her to have these foods.

Xu Guihua cooked rice, Shen Lianxin made braised pork, and stir-fried minced meat and mushrooms, spicy shredded potatoes, and other home-cooked cold dishes.

Stew some chicken soup. The two of them had nothing to do, so they chatted and laughed without any hurry.

Gu Chengzhen was playing alone in the yard, digging the soil and rocking in a rocking chair. Everything he saw was new and he was having a lot of fun.

Then she heard someone knocking on the door. Shen Lianxin wiped her hands and went to open the door.

When Shen Lianxin saw that it was Old Lady Shen and Sun Xiaoyue with a few children, she was happy. These were her relatives. She hadn't seen them for a long time and she missed them a little.

As soon as Old Lady Shen saw Shen Lianxin, she patted her on the shoulder and said, "Oh, damn, you still remember to come back?"

As he said that, he punched Shen Lianxin twice, then stamped his feet, tears streaming down his face, "You dead girl, you really have no conscience. You left when you wanted to and came back when you said you wanted to, without even telling me."

Sun Xiaoyue spoke quickly, "Fourth sister, mother is worried about you. Ever since you went to the quarantine area, the old lady has been thinking about you. Later, when you came back, you went to the city without even having the chance to see me. The old lady kept talking about you at home, and she couldn't eat. She was so worried that her mouth was full of blisters."

Old Madam Shen said to her, "Why are you talking so much?"

Shen Lianxin understood that this dynasty was not like the modern era, where people could just make a phone call or send a message if they had any problems. Communications were not well developed, and it was difficult for many people to see each other again once they separated. The old lady was worried.

"Mom, I'm back. Come in quickly." Shen Lianxin quickly let the person in.

This big courtyard is really beautiful. Walking into the gate, we saw the carved screen wall, and a few children went up to touch it.

“This is really beautiful.”

"The stone wall at Fourth Aunt's house is really exquisite."

“This is the first time I’ve seen such a beautiful wall!”

The old lady and Sun Xiaoyue's eyes also lit up.

There are rows of back houses at the entrance. How many people can live here?

Walking in, you will see a bright and spacious courtyard with a standard quadrangle style, which is both grand and warm.

The old lady’s eyes were no longer enough, so when the house was being built, she always came over to see, but she always looked from outside.

When Zhang Gong led his team to do the construction, there were always villagers coming to watch. They did not allow people to get close, after all, the construction was dangerous. And it was not originally for people to visit.

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk!!! This, this is too good to be true." The old lady opened her mouth and only said this, with more shock in her heart that she couldn't express.

Sun Xiaoyue also opened her eyes wide, looking everywhere, and felt that one pair of eyes was not enough.

"Fourth sister, this house is really luxurious. It's not much worse than the county magistrate's, right?"

Xu Guihua came out from the kitchen. "Oh, Aunt Shen, you're here. Look, Lianxin has made a difference this time. Are you happy?"

"The daughter-in-law of the Zhang family. Good, good, good." Old Mrs. Shen laughed.

Shen Lianxin led them into the hall, "Mom, sister-in-law, you all eat here. I just cooked a meal. I'll go add a few more dishes and we can have a reunion dinner."

Shen Dahu, Shen Qingsong and Shen Qingyun stood behind Sun Xiaoyue somewhat stiffly. They were usually naughty, but when they came to Shen Lianxin's house, they had never seen such a big and beautiful house, so the children did not dare to act rashly.

"Da Hu, Qing Song, Qing Yun, go back and call your family members over. Let's have dinner at my place today. My house has just been built, so let's celebrate together."

When the three children heard this, they happily ran back to call for help.

Sun Xiaoyue stamped her feet, "Slow down, these useless guys."

Old Mrs. Shen was very happy, "Okay, our family hasn't been reunited for a long time." When she said the word reunion, Old Mrs. Shen seemed a little sad.

Sun Xiaoyue curled her lips, lowered her head and said nothing.

Shen Lianxin was confused, "What's wrong, mother?"

"Now that you are doing well, I feel relieved. I wonder what the current situation is like for your elder sister and the fifth girl."

Shen Lianxin reacted and realized that she was thinking about her elder sister and younger sister.

Shen Lianxin has never seen these two people, and all her memories of them are in the original owner's memories.

The elder sister was very gentle and efficient. In the early years, the family was poor and the elder sister supported half of the family. In the famine years, the family really had no food, so Shen Laibao and Sun Xiaoyue persuaded Old Lady Shen to marry her to the family of a cripple in Taoshu Village.

At that time, Old Mrs. Shen was reluctant to let her go, but Shen Zhaodi gritted her teeth and agreed. After all, it was worth it for her to suffer alone to save the lives of her entire family. However, since then, Shen Zhaodi never came back.

The younger sister Shen Jinxin had some unpleasantness with her family and eloped with Zhang Li from Shanghe Village. Her family was so angry that they wanted to cut off relations with her, but Shen Jinxin refused to change her mind and went back to Shanghe Village with Zhang Li and never came back.
