In the county town, the wholesale market is extremely lively during the New Year, with people coming and going, goods piled up like mountains, and the sound of bargaining filling the entire market.

Shen Dong and the other two were selecting things respectively. Shen Xue Ning followed behind them without expressing any opinion.

"Buy more peppercorns, galangal, and star anise."

"Buy some five-spice powder, too."

"You can buy more dried goods such as dried chicken and duck, dried mushrooms, and dried black fungus."

The three brothers discussed and selected things together. They were quite friendly without any quarrels like other brothers.

Shen Dong asked Shen Xue Ning: "Ning Ning, are these things enough?"

Shen Xue Ning said: "You can buy more. If you can't use it all, my factory can use it. It won't be wasted."

Shen Dong nodded: "I understand."

The three brothers continued to go shopping.

A lot of things need to be bought for the banquet. They made a list before coming and now they just need to buy according to the list. If the price is right, everyone plans to buy more to use during the New Year.

Shen Dong said: "Will you celebrate the New Year at my house this year?"

Shen Da laughed: "It's your family's turn for New Year's Eve this year. We would have gone to your house even if you hadn't said so."

Shen Dong smiled and said, "Then I won't say much. Come to my house for dinner on New Year's Eve."

Shen Er said: "Did you tell Fourth Sister?"

Shen Dong waved his hand: "Not yet, I'll call her when I get back."

Shen Da turned around and asked Shen Xue Ning: "Ning Ning, when will Tao Yun and the others have their holiday?"

Shen Xue Ning replied, "It's not until the 28th of the twelfth lunar month. The business in the store is good, so my cousin is reluctant to take a holiday. There's nothing to do if he goes home now."

Shen Da nodded with satisfaction: "You know how to make progress, that's a good thing."

Shen Er said, "Will Fourth Sister cause trouble for Tao Yun if she comes here?"

"When the time comes, protect him more. I won't be afraid of getting in trouble." Shen Dong changed the subject, "I don't know what Fourth Sister is thinking. She is so partial to her son. Isn't Tao Yun her biological son?"

Shen Da continued: "Sometimes I want to pry open that brain to see what's inside."

Shen Er interrupted them and said, "Let's not talk about the fourth sister. Just don't let her have too much contact with Tao Yun."

The three brothers were helpless about their fourth sister and didn't know what to do.

Shen Xue Ning listened to what the three people said and found it very strange. Generally, men tend to favor sons over daughters, but the Shen family seems to be an exception. The men dote on their daughters, while the women, on the contrary, favor sons over daughters.

After walking around the wholesale market, the four of them bought everything they needed and put them on the pickup truck.

Shen Da looked at his watch: "It's only eleven o'clock now, shall we go home and have dinner?"

Shen Er agreed: "Okay, it's almost twelve o'clock now, just in time for dinner."

Shen Xue Ning said: "You can eat before going back. I will treat you."

Shen Da waved his hand: "No, uncle knows you have made money, but we still have to spend it frugally and not develop the habit of spending lavishly. It's not good."

Shen Xue Ning said: "It's just a meal, it can't be considered extravagant."

She understood these people. People like Shen Da and Shen Er had never eaten in the county town. The only time they ate out was when relatives and friends treated them to meals. They lived a very simple life.

Shen Dong said: "It's a rare trip to the county town, why not listen to Ningning and have a meal before going back."

Shen Xue Ning said: "There is a restaurant over there. Let's go over and order a few dishes. It won't cost much."

Shen Da and Shen Er looked at each other and became a little hesitant.

Shen Dong said: "Let's go, don't hesitate."
