Chapter 137 Third Aunt, You Are Really Not a Big Star
Shen Chaoxi naturally felt the strong dissatisfaction coming from Bai Jinyu, but she lowered her head indifferently.

The eldest and second sister-in-law were very smart. They pulled Shen Chaoxi and asked him to go for a walk in the garden.

"Second Aunt is a cold person. I've been married for so many years, and she only said a few more words to me when we met today."

"Yes! When we married into the Shang family, our parents-in-law had already passed away. We thought we could rely on Second Aunt to give us some advice on some things, but who knew she was a person who didn't like to get involved in other people's affairs. We only see her during the New Year and other festivals."

"In life, the most important thing is that the couple live in harmony."

"It can be seen that the third brother cares about you very much. I just heard him ask the kitchen to add two Sichuan dishes. I guess he is considering your taste."

Shen Chaoxi curled the corners of her mouth. Just now, when she was in the corridor, she was far away from the main house. She did see someone from the kitchen come out to ask for permission and glanced at her.

I don’t mind Bai Jinyu’s neglect. In fact, it’s better this way, so I don’t have to put on a show.

The three of them walked to the small garden in the courtyard and heard two children chattering and playing.

There are two children, the girl is about ten years older and the boy is two years younger. They are the only son and daughter of the eldest and second sons of the merchant family respectively.

Before coming, Shang Jianghan had already given her a brief introduction to the people she might meet.

"During the Mid-Autumn Festival, only the three families get together, unlike during the Chinese New Year when all the main family members come over."

The girl's name is Shang Sitian and the boy's name is Shangluo.

The two of them ran over, their eyes fixed on their third aunt, whom they had often heard about at home but had never met.

"Wow! Look, all those naughty boys are so obedient." Qiao Huihui patted her son on the shoulder and joked.

Gu Wenmin pointed at Shen Chaoxi and asked them to call for help.

"This is your Third Aunt! Call someone!"

Shang Sitian: "Hello, Third Aunt!"

Shangluo: "Hello, Third Auntie!"

Children raised with wealth and a high level of education have a clean and superior temperament.

Even if it's the first time we meet, it's comfortable to be looked at.

Shen Chaoxi replied: "Hello, it's our first meeting. Your Third Uncle and I prepared gifts for you. We didn't see you just now, so we left them with Great Grandfather. Remember to ask your Third Uncle for them!"

When the two children heard that there were gifts, their eyes lit up, and they looked at each other, and the smiles on their faces became even brighter.

"Thank you, uncle and aunt!"

Qiao Huihui pulled her son over, straightened his wrinkled collar, and revealed the secret with a smile.

"Are you happy? You know that your Third Uncle's actions are very important, so you've been looking forward to this day, right?"

"Mom! Can you please stop exposing my shortcomings? Look, my aunt wouldn't say those things about my sister!" The little boy's handsome white face was lightly flushed.

Qiao Huihui: "Is your sister the same as you? She is only two years older than you, but she is much calmer and more reserved than you!"

Gu Wenmin interrupted, "Enough! Girls mature earlier than boys. I like our Luo Luo. Your sister is embarrassed because this is her first time meeting Auntie San. She will be fine in a while!"

Shang Sitian stamped her feet: "Mom! How can you ruin things like this!"

Shangluo: "Aunt is the best to talk to!"

Shen Chaoxi watched and laughed. There were very few children of this age around her. She felt that children of this age were most interesting when they were in the stage where their innocence and a little sophistication were blended.

Sure enough, the two children soon surrounded Shen Chaoxi and started asking questions.

"Aunt San, you're really not a big star, right?"

"No!"

"You're much prettier than any big star!"

"Yes, Liu Yuanyuan in our class said that beauties can only be seen on TV. She is so wrong! I can slap her in the face with just my Third Aunt!" The slap in the face the child mentioned naturally did not mean real physical contact.

After staying in the garden for a while, someone from the kitchen came to invite us to dinner.

A family of eleven people gathered in the special restaurant in the east to have dinner.

During this time, dishes were brought in one by one, and the family was still able to eat and chat politely until the last two spicy dishes were served. Bai Jinyu rubbed his forehead in disgust.

The family has been gathering together for so many years, and the kitchen takes everyone's preferences into consideration when serving dishes. It is obvious who these two dishes were for when they were served for the first time.

The person working in the kitchen deliberately placed the dishes in front of Shen Chaoxi, but the dining table was in a rotating mode, so it was inevitable that the dishes would stay in front of some people.

Bai Jinyu put down the cutlery in his hand and stood up.

"The smoke gave me a headache and I have no appetite. You guys eat first. I'm leaving!"

After she finished speaking, she glanced at Shen Chaoxi.

The restaurant fell silent for a moment. Except for the confused old man, everyone else looked somewhat unnatural.

The old man took a sip of fruit wine and praised it. Just then he saw Bai Jinyu taking a step forward. He said angrily, "This girl from the Bai family is so pretentious. Look at Xixi from our third family. There's really no comparison!"

Shen Chaoxi raised his eyes and looked towards the old man, and seemed to see a hint of mockery in his eyes.

She once suspected that the old man was not confused at all at this time.

Shang Jianghan sat next to the old man, gave him a piece of green vegetable, and said with a smile: "Grandpa, since I found you such a good granddaughter-in-law, give me more gifts later."

When Shang Jianghan came to his senses, laughter could be heard from inside the room. Of course, Shen Chaoxi, who was sitting next to the window, also clearly heard the sound of a flower pot falling in the courtyard.

The few people continued their meal, occasionally talking about academic and business topics.

While Shen Chaoxi was picking up some food, he asked Qiao Huihui beside him.

"Sister-in-law, don't you all like spicy food?"

Qiao Huihui knew that she was still upset about Bai Jinyu's attitude just now.

"No, I like to go to Sichuan and Chongqing restaurants the most in private, but Second Aunt doesn't like the taste of this kind of food. Usually when we have a meal together, we do consider her. Also, Grandpa also likes this kind of food. He is old now, and I dare not let him touch spicy food, so we don't order these dishes every time."

Shen Chaoxi glanced at Qiao Huihui's plate and saw that she was also eating spicy fish fillets, and was enjoying it very much, so he stopped talking.

After lunch, everyone went to their own yards to rest, and agreed to go to the city wall to watch the moon in the evening.

Knowing that the Zhong family was also having a party at the old house today, Shen Chaoxi did not prepare for a lunch break and wanted to go find Zhongli, Diandian and Didi.

As soon as she walked out of the hospital, she was caught by Shang Sitian and Shang Luo.

"What are you two doing here instead of sleeping?" Shen Chaoxi asked.

Shangluo scratched his head and laughed, with a dimple faintly visible on his face.

"My uncle said that Aunt San would definitely not be able to stay here, so he asked us to come and monitor her... No, we are here to accompany you. We will follow you wherever you go. There must be some fun place!"

After lunch, the three cousins ​​met in the main room to play cards, drink tea and chat, without going to their own courtyards.

Shen Chaoxi didn't expect that there were "spies" around her!
Shang Sitian: "Aunt San, where are you going? It's so boring at home, why don't we follow you?"

Shen Chaoxi nodded. It wasn't far anyway, and she would be happy to have someone to keep her company and chat and laugh with.

She pointed at the two of them.

"Say hello to your mother, and don't say I kidnapped you!"

Come on!

The two children don’t have to make a special trip, the matter can be settled with just a contact on the phone!
