Huayu Chunqiu, starting from being adopted by a fairy mother

Chapter 237 Sister

The house is tidy and clean.

Sister Li paid a cleaning lady to clean up the place for a whole day before she achieved such a result.

More than ten days ago, Xixi turned the house upside down in order to find her household registration book.

There are four people in the family. Liu Jing was driven away by Xixi, Xixi ran away from home, and Sister Li returned to her parents' home.

Teacher An was left alone to grieve and clean up the mess.

A few days later, Sister Li came back from Jiangcheng, very dissatisfied.

The house is indeed tidied, but it would be better if it wasn't tidied. Chaos has its own beauty, but what Teacher An tidied is only chaos.

None of these matter; the main thing is the long mahogany dining table.

There were delicious dishes on the table, all of which were quite large. Four cold dishes, four hot dishes, four covered bowls, two pots of soup, one sweet and one salty, and two plates of fruit, one from the south and one from the north.

The tableware was neatly arranged, the wine glasses and tea cups were in place, and the red wine was waiting on the side.

The chairs were pulled out, nine in total, neatly arranged, but no one was seated yet.

Everyone sat on the sofa and chatted, waiting for the host to return.

In addition to Liu Jing, there were eight other attendees, a total of eight people present.

Grandpa and grandma, Li Jie, Lao An, my aunt, my uncle, my second aunt, and Shu Chang...

Shu Chang was able to attend because of the accident in the morning.

Teacher An has three sisters. The eldest aunt is a doctor, the second aunt is an engineer, and the youngest aunt is a cadre in the system.

The old lady was not in good health, so my second aunt came with her.

This is not surprising, as there is a photo of Sissi on the table, which is quite conspicuous.

If the photo is in black and white and a frame is added, it means Qingming Festival.

"That's not necessary! Xixi just ran away from home. There's no need to..."

"Running away from home?" everyone present said in unison.

Shu Chang stood behind Liu Jing and kicked his heel.

Liu Jing was horrified. No way! How come he didn’t know about such important news?

He laughed dryly and said, "I was just joking."

"Didn't you say that Xixi was busy filming recently and had no time to celebrate Mu Tou's birthday?" the old man was surprised.

"Yes. They also said it was a closed crew and we were not allowed to make phone calls. I thought the prison wouldn't be so strict." The old lady sneered.

"Sister, you said Xixi is studying in the United States." My aunt said unhappily.

Liu Jing straightened his back and fixed the mess he had made himself. "It doesn't matter. Why did you put up her photo? It doesn't matter whether she's here or not. This isn't a family dinner."

"How can it not matter? We have traveled thousands of miles here just to see our good granddaughter." The old man said with a stern face.

"Tell me! What's going on?" With the help of Sister Li, the old lady sat on a stool and clapped her hand on the table, with the momentum of a county magistrate.

"Mom, the matter has been resolved, so don't worry about it." Teacher An frowned. This was a family matter, how could he talk about it openly?

"Hey! I don't like to hear that. What do you mean by meddling in other people's business? That's my granddaughter, and she ran away from home. How could she be like that if she wasn't wronged? You guys, on the other hand, are just eating and drinking as if nothing happened. I'm not dead yet, and I must take care of this matter." The old lady shouted.

"Mom, it's about that." Teacher An hesitated.

There were relatives around, and he couldn't say anything about his daughter and adopted son getting together.

What he didn't know was that the people he was concerned about had already guessed the reason.

After all, just because he was embarrassed to say it doesn’t mean that Sister Li or grandpa and grandma are embarrassed.

"Oh, is it that Xixi wants to be with Mu Tou, and you, Elmhead, don't agree? Didn't I tell you a few days ago that this is a good thing. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, so don't worry about them. I think Xixi has a good vision and made the right choice. If you want to break up the couple, then hit me first..."

"Mom, I didn't say I disagree. I also..."

"What do you mean by 'mom'? No one else would be surprised unless they saw it. You are the only one who realizes it later." The old lady said angrily.

"Hehe, we are all family here, there's nothing to be surprised about." Shu Chang smiled innocently.

"A family?" Liu Jing glared at Shu Chang. This is not a private conversation between us. Be careful with your words. Don't shout nonsense about husband and wife.

Shu Chang folded his arms, held his head high, puffed out his chest, and wrinkled his nose. He was very arrogant and looked down on Liu Jing.

"Now that Liu Jing is here, we can begin the ceremony." Sister Li greeted quickly.

"What kind of ceremony is this?" Liu Jing wondered. It was just a birthday. Did he have to worship all the gods and Buddhas? He was really superstitious.

"Today is not only your birthday, but also the day when Shu Chang comes into our family. It can be said to be a double happiness." Teacher An found a legitimate reason to change the subject and regained his composure.

Liu Jing lost his composure and said with a sullen face, "Uncle An, have you read Stories to Awaken the World? There is a governor named Qiao in it, he is an old fool."

Teacher An was speechless. He was scolding me in a roundabout way.

"From now on, aunt is my godmother, uncle is my godfather, and you are my, Shu Chang's, godson." Shu Chang had a sad look on his face, and the more he spoke, the more excited he became.

She was already feeling a little resentful in her heart, thinking how much she disliked me.

Then I thought, hey, this guy is the girl's brother. Then whatever he does in the future, he will have a legitimate reason.

"This car was hit..." Liu Jing muttered.

Sister Li wanted to adopt Shu Chang as her goddaughter a few years ago, but the matter was shelved due to her relatives.

Now Shu Chang has grown up and moved out from his relatives' place. If one person is well fed, the whole family will not be hungry, and he can be the master of his own house.

Sister Li really was feeling guilty about her new car being hit, so she mentioned this just now.

Shu Chang has been living here during this period. She is no different from Sister Li's goddaughter, except for the title.

Since Sister Li said so, Shu Chang bowed his head and knelt down.

Liu Jing understood what was going on and couldn't help but complain, "It is indeed necessary for the ceremony, but you are offering a photo of Sissi. The person who came up with this idea must be crazy."

"What's wrong? Xixi is also a member of the family. Doesn't she need to participate?" Teacher An had a blank expression.

"You can call. Hands-free is fine, you can participate in the scene and interact. She is filming in Korea, and her phone bill is high... ahem..." Liu Jing shut up because Shu Chang kicked him again.

"Oh! So she is in South Korea. I thought she was in the United States. She wouldn't go to find Li Mengdie, right?" Sister Li suddenly realized.

"If I could just get through to her on the phone, there wouldn't be any need to go through so much trouble." Teacher An muttered.

"Yes, she went to find Li Mengdie. She gained a lot this time. It's related to Jiahe. I'll tell you tomorrow." Liu Jing ignored Shu Chang's reminder. Sister Li would know sooner or later, and she might have known it a long time ago.

At this moment, I suddenly realized that this must have been a deliberate act. I was not surprised at all that Lao An was not there.

The whole family cooperated with Sissi in the performance just to make her feel a sense of accomplishment.

boring……

Liu Jing complained silently.

"Okay!" Sister Li understood immediately. It was not convenient to say this in front of everyone. "Changchang, grandpa and grandma, and the others are all witnesses. We don't need those red tapes. You kowtow to the two of us and offer a cup of tea, and the ceremony will be completed. Since you don't have your parents with you, you represent your family. From now on, we two are your parents, Xixi is your sister, and Liu Jing is your brother. No matter what conflicts you have in the future, you must remember today. We are a loving family. No matter how tortuous the road is, we must support each other..."

Sister Li started to speak sentimental words, and when she mentioned her brother, Shu Chang looked at Liu Jing proudly.

Liu Jing didn't care. You want to take advantage of me in the name of your sisters, but you are thinking too much.

My elder sister thought the same way back then, and worked tirelessly for more than ten years, but in the end she got herself into it. As he thought about it, he suddenly became a little excited.

I didn't feel anything for Shu Chang before, but for some reason, I suddenly felt something for her. Now, looking at Shu Chang's profile, I think she's pretty good-looking.

What happened next had nothing to do with him, so Liu Jing just sat aside and watched the fun.

The aunt was the host. After Shu Chang kowtowed, he offered tea to Sister Li and Lao An with a very respectful attitude.

In this situation, she might have thought of something, tears welled up in her eyes, but she tried hard not to let them fall.

"I was in a hurry today and didn't have time to prepare. I gave you a red envelope. Don't think it's tacky. Take it." Teacher An took out a red envelope from his pocket and handed it to Shu Chang.

"Thank you, godfather." Shu Chang smiled.

"This is a longevity lock, which was prepared several years ago. Sissi had no playmates, and she knew you well. You are a strong, brave, kind, and filial girl. At that time, I had the idea of taking you in as my goddaughter. Although it was a sudden idea today, it may be due to my previous thoughts. You are already eighteen years old, so it is not appropriate to give you a longevity lock. You should keep it as a souvenir. But I still hope..."

"It's suitable, Mom. Anything you give me is suitable." Shu Chang choked up and could no longer hold back his tears.

"I don't have anything to give you. This bracelet is a pair. When the Anti-Japanese War was won, your grandfather took out all his savings and made a pair of bracelets for me. One is for Sissi and the other is for you. I won't take it into the coffin." The old lady took off a silver bracelet and handed it to Shu Chang tremblingly.

"Grandma, this is a gift from grandpa. I can't accept it." Shu Chang kowtowed.

"Please accept it. It's a token of my gratitude to grandma." The old man had a complicated expression.

The old lady stroked Shu Chang's head and said, "My poor child, you are indeed very strong. I hope you will get better and better in your future life."

"I'm also tacky. Here's a thousand yuan. You can buy a gift for yourself." The old man smiled and said to Liu Jing, "Mu Tou, your birthday present is half missing. You don't mind, do you?"

"On my eighteenth birthday, you gave me two thousand yuan? That's so tacky. On Xixi's eighteenth birthday, you gave her a golden Buddha. There's a huge difference," Liu Jing said disdainfully.

"Haha, it's increased ten thousand times in fifteen years, you should be content." The old man laughed.

Liu Jing also laughed. Fifteen years ago, he spent his first New Year at home in An's family.

On New Year's Eve that year, the old man stuffed two cents into his pocket as a New Year's gift, but took it away the next morning.

These two people were responsible for creating the atmosphere. Shu Chang's eyes were filled with tears. The crying old lady and Sister Li felt very uncomfortable and were about to cry.

"Liu Jing, where is my gift?" Shu Chang wiped away her tears, stretched out her tender little hands, and said bluntly.

"Oh my god, Shu Chang, are you crazy? I'm younger than you, how dare you ask me for a gift?" Liu Jing was shocked. Do you have any shame? How could this have anything to do with me?

"You're welcome." Shu Chang stretched his hand forward a little further, almost reaching Liu Jing's face.

"Shouldn't you give me a gift? Today is my birthday, and it's also the day you become my godson." Liu Jing glared at Shu Chang. She was looking for trouble.

Everyone present was watching with laughter, and my aunt even said, "Mu Tou, don't be so stingy. You are not always generous."

Liu Jing took a piece of white paper and put it in Shu Chang's hand. "I'm giving you a script. This gift is expensive, right?"

"I..." Shu Chang wanted to swear, "This piece of paper is whiter than your face. You told me it was a script? Why didn't you say it was a check? You lied with your eyes open. You have reached the extreme level of cultivation."

"Just because you don't have it now doesn't mean you won't have it in the future. If you don't want it, I'll take it away." Liu Jing pretended to snatch it.

Shu Chang quickly put it away and smiled flatteringly, "Hehehe, it's too expensive. Thank you."

The old lady smiled and said, "My dear grandson's words sounded so familiar. They were the same things I just said."

Shu Chang took out a dozen red envelopes from his bag and began to distribute them. "My gifts are not only tacky, but also stingy. I asked my godmother for the red envelopes, and each one contains 100 yuan. I have no choice, I didn't take much cash today. My father ran away, my mother is gone, and from now on you will be my relatives..."

Shu Chang has a very sweet mouth, no worse than Yang Mi.

After a while, the old lady burst into laughter.

"Changchang, I heard from your godmother that you have been filming a lot of movies recently. Take good care of yourself when you are working. Filming is very hard, so you must pay attention." The old lady said with concern.

"Yeah, thank you grandma. I don't have many dramas before the New Year. The Deer and the Cauldron and Assembly will be finished soon. I have another drama before the New Year. After I finish filming, I will take a break and have a good New Year." Shu Chang nodded repeatedly. She had never experienced such a loving moment before. She enjoyed it very much.

"I don't really understand what you're doing in a movie. I saw you play Dong Efei on TV. At that time, I never thought that you would become my granddaughter." The old lady said with a smile.

"It means that we are destined to be together, and we have been together for thousands of miles."

"Since we are destined to meet, please return the red envelope to me." The old man joked.

"No, fate is fate, and the red envelope is a red envelope." Shu Chang was very protective of his food, and everyone laughed.

"Grandma, you don't know how nervous I was just now. My godfather gave me a red envelope, and I opened it. Guess how much money was in it?" Shu Chang's movements, expressions, and tone were exaggerated.

"Two cents?" The old lady also cooperated.

She found it quite strange, since Sissi had never been like this before.

The granddaughter was sensible and independent since she was young. But she was too obedient, which made her less intimate with them.

As for Liu Jing, there is no such thing as being coquettish or intimate.

Sissi can do it occasionally, but he never does.

"Ten thousand and one dollars, what a huge stack." Shu Chang gestured.

"Haha, one in a million, there's nothing to be nervous about." The old lady laughed.

"I thought it was a betrothal gift. The wood belongs to Xixi. How could I accept this money?" Shu Chang smiled.

"If you don't want it, give me the money back and I'll give you something else." Sister Li said with a smile.

"Mom, can we change it to another 10001?" Shu Changzhen handed over the red envelope.

"what?"

“QQ number.”

"What is QQ? I've never heard of it. I've heard of IC, IP, IQ..."

……

There was laughter over there, but the aunt did not join in. She quietly sat down next to Liu Jing and said, "Hey! Mu Tou, isn't this trick by Sister Li good?"

"What?" Liu Jing was a little confused.

"She adopted Shu Chang as her goddaughter, achieving four goals at once. It's really brilliant." The aunt sighed.

"Please analyze it for me." Liu Jing glanced at him. This man was caught up in conspiracy theories again.

"First, win over a general. Second, gain a daughter. Third, clear an obstacle..."

"Obstacle?" Liu Jing couldn't help but wonder what this was talking about.

"Yes! Shu Chang is a member of your family from now on. How can she still have the nerve to compete with Xixi for status?" explained the aunt.

"..."

"Fourth, Xixi has gained an ally. Tsk tsk, Sister Li must have read a lot of palace fighting novels. I heard from the people at Chunqiu Academy that she likes to read palace fighting novels oriented towards women the most..."

Liu Jing was a little dazed as he listened to his aunt's revelations. You are quite suitable to be a female writer.

"Mu Tou, when will you and Xixi get married? Tsk tsk, will your children be named Liu or An? This is a problem. Why don't you follow the old man's example and have two children with the surname Kong and two with the surname An. You and Xixi can also have four children, two with the surname Liu and two with the surname An." The aunt was even more excited than Shu Chang.

Liu Jing sighed, thinking that it was very miserable to be at home without Xixi to share the work.

"Mu Tou, I heard that you and Yang Mi are together. When will she get pregnant? And Tang Yan from our company, I heard..."

Liu Jing quickly stood up and said, "Ahem, it's time to eat."
