Siheyuan Shangpeng

Tian Xiaocao chatted with Shang's mother for a long time in Shang's house. Shang's mother found that although Tian Xiaocao was a country person, he had very positive values ​​and a straightforward personality, but he was also very talkative. The two got along very well. When Shang's father came back with the children, he found that Shang's mother was chatting with Tian Xiaocao at home very enthusiastically and had not even made lunch. As soon as they entered the house, He Yuzhu came to call Tian Xiaocao back to eat. Only then did Shang's mother realize that she was chatting so enthusiastically that she had not even made lunch.

After Tian Xiaocao returned home, Shang's mother told them to go to He's house for dinner and just have a quick lunch. They had no choice but Shang Peng went to the kitchen and quietly took out the noodles prepared in the space, put them in a pot, and fried a few eggs. Then they had lunch.

After lunch, everyone went about their own business.

At dinner time in the evening, He Yushui brought Tian Silin to Shangjia and invited Shangjia's family to his home for dinner. When everyone arrived at He's house, they found that the food had been prepared and they were waiting for everyone to start eating. Shang Xue gave Tian Xiaocao the gift prepared by Shang's mother, which was a quilt cover. Tian Xiaocao liked it very much. Shang Qi gave He Daqing a belt, who liked it at first sight. He also gave Tian Silin two hairbands, which he bought in the afternoon after asking Shang's mother. After all, it was not time to give something too expensive.

After eating at He's house, the merchant went back to his own home. After returning home, the family sat at the table and chatted for a while before going back to bed.

The next morning, Shang Peng practiced boxing as usual. After practicing and having breakfast, Shang Peng said that he wanted to go out for a while. Shang's mother and others didn't say anything. But when Shang Peng came back after half an hour, the whole family was not very calm.

Shang Peng secretly brought back two large sacks from outside, feeling like a thief. The family was in the living room and noticed Shang Peng's actions and looked at him. Shang Peng put the things in the house, walked to the table and poured himself a glass of water. He drank it in one breath and said, "Oh my God, I'm so tired, it's so heavy!"

The family looked at each other, no one knew what Shang Peng was doing. Shang Liang couldn't resist his curiosity and walked to the bag and opened it. He screamed, and Shang Peng was so scared that he quickly ran over to cover his brother's mouth. With a shushing sound, he turned around and said to his family, "Keep your voice down. I don't want to be reported on New Year's Day!"

Shang Qi said, "Xiao Peng, we can't do anything shameful. If you have anything to say, tell me and I'll see if I can protect you."

Shang Peng realized that this was a misunderstanding, so he let go of Shang Liang's hand and said, "What are you thinking about? Xiaoliang will cut it and we can try it." After that, he took out a big watermelon from the bag.

Several people then breathed a sigh of relief, but then they reacted and wanted to shout out, but Shang Peng put his hand to his mouth and made a hushing sound, so the family didn't shout out. Then they saw Shang Liang holding the watermelon and going to the kitchen. Shang's mother quickly took two steps and helped Shang Liang carry the watermelon to the kitchen.

Just when Shang's mother went to cut the watermelon, Shang Peng started taking things out of the bags. One bag contained beef, mutton, pork and other meats, another bag contained river crabs, two big carps, and another bag contained fruits and vegetables.

When Shang's mother brought Shang Liang back with a basin of watermelon, she found a bunch of things in the house. She was so scared that she almost dropped the watermelon in her hand on the ground, but Shang Liang held her back.

Mother Shang looked at the three dumbfounded people in the room and Shang Peng who was sitting and drinking water. She couldn't help but come to Shang Peng and asked anxiously: "Xiao Peng, where did these things come from? You didn't do anything bad, did you? Otherwise, you should go to your master uncle and explain it clearly. Your master uncle will not watch you being shot."

Shang Peng almost spit out a mouthful of water and said, "Mom, what are you thinking? Don't worry about where the things come from. It must not be against the rules."

Mr. Shang also recovered from his shock and said, "No, Xiaopeng, shouldn't you explain it to us? We can't eat it if you do this. Look at what you brought back. It's winter, and you're looking at this watermelon. Damn! Is this a watermelon? Which watermelon is so red? Don't be anxious, let me have a taste too. Hmm... Which watermelon is so sweet? Hmm... It's delicious!"

Shang Peng looked at the people eating watermelon in silence. He had to wait until they finished a bite of watermelon before he spoke: "No, you've already eaten it, what else do you have to worry about? Don't worry, there's nothing wrong with this thing. But I can't tell you where it came from. Everyone can have some secrets, right, dad? A seventh-level worker went to be the director of the fitter workshop! And brother, the tigers of the Southwest Military Region were transferred back because they killed a few rebels. Who would believe it? Everyone is worried about their families, so don't ask me. I won't tell you even if you ask me."

When Mr. Shang heard that the third son actually mentioned him, he immediately retorted, "I passed the seventh-level section worker exam. I didn't say I didn't have a machinist certificate. My machinist certificate is still eighth-level. Isn't that a job requirement? It's not eye-catching to announce that a seventh-level section worker is leading the machinist workshop."

Shang Qi also said unconvincedly: "Killing prisoners will lead to a military court. I have done a pretty good job."

"Haha...you are fooling fools? A seventh-level section worker is leading the fitter workshop. If someone says something, there must be someone behind it. Killing prisoners? Do you call that killing prisoners? You call that killing the prisoners who resisted. You came back for a mission, right? Don't tell us! We don't want to know.

You all have secrets, and so do I, so just eat with peace of mind. I will bring back some food from time to time, probably not too much, just for everyone to taste."

Father Shang and Shang Qi looked at each other, and they both understood what the other meant. Father Shang said, "Okay, Xiaopeng, you've grown up now. Your elder brother had already joined the army when he was your age. I won't ask where these things came from in the future. Just remember, don't make any mistakes, understand?"

"Hehe... Dad, don't you know what kind of person your son is? Just rest assured.

Well, we can't keep all these to ourselves. How about we pick some out for Master? Master Uncle should also be spending the New Year at Master's house, right? Let's go early and come back before lunch."

Mr. Shang nodded and said, "Okay, then your eldest brother will drive us there, and we'll come back after we drop the things off."

"Okay, let's go now." Shang Qi turned around and went into the house to get the key, while Shang's mother divided the things and gave them to Shang's father's master.

When the three people went out with the bags, there were a few children playing outside. After all, it was too cold, and everyone was preparing for the New Year in the house.

They rushed all the way to the old man's house, and the father and his two sons agreed to come over to pay New Year's greetings on the second day of the New Year and then left.
