Chapter 1496: Not for Shen Yan

On the other side, Shen Qi returned home with a basket of dumplings, only to find that his sister, Shen Yan, was also back.

He was quite unhappy: Didn’t Grandpa say she shouldn’t come back? And typically, she should return to her maternal home on the second day of the New Year, but she ran back on the first day. Also, because she came back on the first day, her husband did not accompany her, which means she wasn’t chased away?

Right, she figured that no one would chase her away if she returned home on the first day of the New Year, right? Or perhaps, because Mom and Dad are back, she doesn’t have to fear Grandpa anymore?

Even though he had returned to his master’s school, he still didn’t like this sister who had caused him to lose his memory for half a year.

The Shen Family was gathered around the fire, watching TV and eating sunflower seeds.

Shen Qi’s father, Shen Jianian, had recently been transferred back to the Capital City. Although it was a lateral transfer at the same level, it was technically a secret promotion.

As a result, having not spent the New Year at home for several years, Mr. Shen and Mother Shen were finally celebrating the New Year at their home in the Capital City.

Mr. Shen had only two sons. The elder son, Shen Jianian, inherited his career and continued working in the military, while the younger son, Shen Jiaying, entered politics and is now the mayor of a prefecture-level city.

Learning that his brother was coming home for the New Year, Shen Jiaying also brought his family back, making for a rare reunion celebration.

Shen Qi carried his basket across the threshold and greeted everyone, "Grandpa, Dad, Mom, Uncle, Aunt, and cousins, I’m back."

Everyone was greeted, except his sister Shen Yan.

Shen Yan couldn’t understand why her brother held a grudge against her. She may have had personal motives, but overall, wasn’t it for his good?

Initially, Shen Qi planned to cook the dumplings for everyone immediately upon returning home, which is why he took the basket out of the storage bag when he was not far from home. But upon seeing his sister, he wanted to put the basket back in the storage bag.

However, his return with the basket was already seen by others, so it was awkward to put it back. He had no choice but to carry the basket directly into his room.

Shen Jianian laughingly criticized, "This cheeky boy, coming home and immediately burrows into his room, thinking he’s a young lady."

Mrs. Shen was dissatisfied with her husband’s comment about their son, "He’s just going in there to freshen up."

Shen Jiaying quickly intervened, "Qiqi is quite the sensation at the military academy. I’ve heard even the strictest instructors praise him endlessly."

Talking about his son’s excellence, Shen Jianian was naturally proud, but tried to remain humble, "He’s still young."

Tie Xinyu, Mrs. Shen, was immensely proud, casting a glance at her sister-in-law. Although she came from an ordinary background, she gave birth to a capable son who truly did her proud.

Second Madam Wu Chan smiled, but internally she was rather disdainful: No matter how impressive, my two sons and daughter will surely surpass him in the future!

Shen Qi kept thinking, Master dislikes Shen Yan, and Shen Yan looks down on Master. The dumplings Master gifted should not be given to Shen Yan.

But how can he cook the dumplings for everyone and skillfully prevent Shen Yan from eating them?

Wait until later to cook them? But given her posture, Shen Yan is likely to stay overnight.

Master also said that the dumplings are best eaten today. Besides, Uncle’s family might leave after today.

Forget it. What’s the point in worrying so much, just cook them and serve everyone, but not Shen Yan!
