Siheyuan Shangpeng

Shang Peng went forward and knocked on the door, shouting, "Mom, your sons are back. Open the door quickly and take a look. Who did I catch for you? You must reward me today."

Shang Qi was standing behind Shang Peng with a frown on his face. He stepped forward and slapped Shang Peng, who cried out in pain. Shang Qi said, "I'm not saying anything bad about you, Third Brother. You've become a bad boy in the past few years since I left. Tell me now, are you still my obedient and sensible Third Brother?"

While the two brothers were fighting, Shang's mother's voice was heard from the room: "You little rascal, you said you were going to school, but why did you come back later than your sister? If your father hadn't said that you were studying at your teacher's house, I would have called the police. Where did you go? If you don't tell me clearly today, I will..." Shang's mother said as she opened the door.

After opening the door, he found that there was not only Shang Peng at the door, but also his eldest son who had served in the army for many years. The vegetable basin in his hand fell to the ground with a clang. Tears instantly came to his eyes. With a cry, he took two steps forward, hugged Shang Qi, and began to cry.

Shang Qi's smiling face also became at a loss. He quickly dropped the bag in his hand, hugged his mother and comforted her softly. At this time, the aunties in the yard heard the noise and ran over curiously to see what happened.

When they arrived at the front yard, they saw Shang's mother holding a young man and crying. No one knew what was going on. Shang Peng saw it and quickly said, "Aunts and sisters-in-law, this is my eldest brother. He has been in the army for several years. Today is his first time to come home to visit his family. My mother is a little excited. I'm sorry to bother you aunts and sisters-in-law. Please go about your business! Thank you!"

The third aunt saw that this was not the time to get closer, so she quickly said, "Okay, it's okay. We thought something happened in your family. It's okay. Don't cry, big sister. Take your eldest son back home quickly. It's too cold outside."

After the third aunt finished speaking, she called the other aunts and young wives to go back to their homes. When everyone saw that there was nothing fun to watch, they dispersed.

When Shang's mother saw this, she stopped crying and took Shang Qi to her home. Shang Peng saw that his mother was only concerned about his eldest brother and ignored him at all. He had no choice but to pick up the pots and vegetables that his mother threw on the ground. With his other hand, he picked up the bag that his eldest brother threw on the ground and followed him into the house.

After entering the house, Shang's mother took Shang Qi and looked at her eldest son carefully from front to back. She was relieved when she found that he was not missing any limbs. She said to Shang Qi, "Big brother, why didn't you tell me you were coming back? I thought something happened to you."

Shang Qi was no stranger to his mother at this time, and said, "Mom, where are my dad, little sister, and eldest child? Why aren't they at home? My things are still outside in the car, let me get them in first!"

"Your father hasn't finished get off work yet. Your sister and the old and young have gone to your aunt's house in the Central Courtyard. Let your brother get the things. You just stay with mom!"

Shang Peng saw it and thought, well, he should take the initiative, so he said, "Brother, you stay with mom. I'll go call my sister and brother back, and then we'll go get that thing." After saying that, he turned and left the room.

She went straight to the middle courtyard and saw Shang Xue tutoring Yu Shui and Shang Liang at He's house. He Da Qing and He Yu Zhu were not at home and did not go in. She shouted at the door, "Sister, little brother, Yu Shui, don't study for now. Big brother is back and is staying at home with mom. You should go see big brother first."

Several people heard Shang Peng's voice and raised their heads to speak. When they heard that the eldest brother was back, Shang Xue and Shang Liang ran to the front yard and left He Yushui at home. He Yushui was stunned. What happened to the usually steady elder sister today? And who is the eldest brother?

Shang Peng took a look and thought, okay, he had to do it himself. He walked into the house, pulled up He Yushui who was still thinking, and walked towards his home. After taking just two steps, he turned around and locked the door of He's house. After taking a look, he took He Yushui and walked towards his home again.

When I arrived at my house and opened the door, I found that my brother's left hand was held by Shang Xue and his right hand was occupied by Shang Liang. He was filled with a gentle smile.

He Yushui was also familiar with Shang Qi. When she came in, she was about to run to Shang Qi's mother. Suddenly, she found a soldier in the room whom she didn't know. She was startled and embarrassed. Shang Qi's mother smiled and pulled He Yushui to Shang Qi and said, "Lai Yushui, this is your cousin Shang Qi. He is a soldier and only has time to come back this year. You can just call him Brother Qi from now on. Do you understand?"

"Hello, Brother Qi, I am He Yushui!" He Yushui greeted Shang Qi.

"Hello, Sister Yushui, give you some candy." Shang Qi struggled to free his hand from Shang Liang's hand, took out some candies from his bag and handed them to He Yushui.

He Yushui looked at Shang's mother, who smiled and said to him, "You should take what your eldest brother gave you. He is your aunt's child, just like your sister Shang Xue."

"Well, thank you, Brother Qi, you are so nice!" After saying this, He Yushui's face blushed.

"Yu Shui, is your sister Xue not okay? Sister Xue is so sad." Shang Xue joked.

"Sister Xue, isn't it enough for you all to be nice to Yu Shui?" He Yu Shui said aggrievedly.

Everyone burst into laughter when they saw He Yushui's aggrieved look.

Just as everyone was laughing, Shang Peng walked into the house carrying a lot of things on his back and said to everyone, "It's not you who can do it. I'm working while you guys are chatting and laughing in the house! Why am I so miserable!"

Shang Liang casually said: "With great power comes great responsibility."

Shang Peng wanted to reply at that time, "Why, do you want to swing on the Empire State Building?" Fortunately, he held back.

Several people stopped talking and laughing, and helped Shang Peng move things. It took them two trips to move everything. Shang Xue couldn't help but sighed, "Brother, I suspect you didn't go to the army, but to buy goods. Why do you have so many things?"

Shang Qi said awkwardly: "Haha... the division commander gave a little, the regiment commander gave a little, the instructor gave a little, and before I knew it, there are so many. There are still many things I haven't asked for, otherwise I would have to give so many more."

After that, Shang Qi picked up two bags and gave them to his mother, saying, "Mom, the things in this bag are yours, and this bag is for my dad.

The three over there are Xiaoxue and her friends. I really don’t know about Yushui and her friends. I’ll find some gifts for them in another bag later. We’re all family, so don’t look down on us.”

Several people began to distribute the gifts. Shang Xue took Yu Shui to her own room, while Shang Peng and Shang Liang directly opened the packages to check them.

There was a military uniform, a watch, two pens, and some other things in Shang Peng's bag, including two daggers. Shang Liang's bag was basically the same as Shang Peng's, but Shang Liang's bag had an extra pistol made of a bullet shell. Shang Liang didn't pay attention to the others and fell in love with the pistol at first sight.
