After lunch, the three of them went back.
Before they got home, Shen Yuhan received a call from Auntie Wang, today is the winter solstice1冬至 (Dōng zhì): The Dongzhi Festival or Winter Solstice Festival is a traditional Chinese festival celebrated during the Dongzhi solar term (winter solstice), which falls between December 21 and December 23. In Chinese, the word “Dong” means “winter” while “Zhi” means “arrival” giving the literal meaning of the festival “the coming of winter”. Traditionally, the Dongzhi Festival is a time for families to eat together. One activity that occurs during these get-togethers (especially in the Asia and in Overseas Asian communities) is the making and eating of tangyuan (湯圓) or balls of glutinous rice, which symbolize reunion. People typically eat Winter Solstice dumplings which sounds like “reunion”. This custom is said to have been started by the celebrated physician Zhang Zhongjing during the Han Dynasty., she asked if they want to go home for dinner, if they do, she would make dumplings, if they didn’t, she wouldn’t make it.
Shen Yuhan was a little excited and said: “Husband, is today the winter solstice? Are we going to eat dumplings tonight?”
Shan Qihuan looked at the calendar, and saw that today was indeed the winter solstice, so he nodded: “Let’s eat.”
Shan Qixin was still resting with his eyes closed, but as soon as he heard this, he didn’t want to go back to his place alone, he wanted to spend the winter solstice with his third brother and his third sister-in-law, Shen Yuhan is naturally happy to do so, as far as Shan Qihuan is concerned, Shan Qixin is also someone he has watched grow up? Considered half a son?
It has been almost two or three months since he came to modern era, Shen Yuhan hasn’t spent a festival with his husband yet, he didn’t expect that the Winter Solstice festival has been followed from ancient times to this day, thoughts about his family gradually emerged again.
It was already late when they arrived home.
Shen Yuhan had slept for two hours leaning against his husband in the car, and was in good spirits.
Auntie Wang had already made dumplings and was preparing dinner.
At home, there were seafood sent by the second sister, and some precious medicinal herbs sent by the eldest brother, he heard from Shan Qihuan that Shen Yuhan was not in good health, so he sent them over, they are all people with families, and Shan Qihuan usually doesn’t spend such festivals with them, he is either out of town, or in the foreign countries, as time went by2久而久之 (jiǔ ér jiǔ zhī): in the course of time; over a long period of time; as time passes; over time; with the lapse of time., Shan Qiyuan and Shan Qibing also stopped asking him to come back home.
Shen Yuhan can also feel it, the relationship between Shan Qihuan and his eldest brother and second sister is actually not very deep, and there are not many contacts between the two sides, they are probably because they were all rational people in dealing with emotions, and they are not very enthusiastic, with no one acting as an intermediary, after a long time, this indifferent way of getting along has formed.
Family ties are still there, but it is shallow.
However, Shan Qihuan is not entirely without relatives, Shan Qixin has at least been persevering on getting closer to him.
This meal in the evening, the three of them ate to their heart’s content3心滿意足 (xīn mǎn yì zú): to be perfectly content (idiom); perfectly satisfied..
During this period, Shan Qixin also called his eldest brother and second sister, and the voices of children came from the phone, which also added a lot of atmosphere to their winter solstice festival.
The TV stayed on until they went back to their room to rest, and Shan Qixin naturally stayed at home.
After staying out for a night, and riding in the car all afternoon, Shen Yuhan’s whole body was sore, he just wanted to take a shower and go to sleep immediately.
Shan Qihuan remembered that there was one more important thing he hadn’t done yet, his clarification hadn’t been posted on Weibo yet.
While eating dumplings tonight, he took a few photos, Shan Qixin and the dumplings were in the background, and his wife only showed his back and nothing else, no one could see his wife’s face.

As soon as he posted on Weibo, the marketing account immediately forwarded it, and a wave of fans quickly poured in.
– Hahahahaha, who is not smart enough to make this rumor! Chief Shan is domineering!
– These days, marketing numbers can’t even tell a man from a woman, today’s marketing accounts should examine the truth!
– Damn it, this seems to be the first time that Chief Shan has released a photo of his wife’s back, before that, he only showed his hands!
– Wow, with this small figure, this hand, I can knock4磕 (kē): to knock sth. against a hard surface; to dash against a stone; to kowtow; (dialect, figurative) to fight; dialectal word that means 吃 (chī), eat; take; enjoy; T/N: According to netizen, the correct dialectal word is 嗑 (kē), to crack (seeds) with front teeth; 嘮嗑 (lào kē), (dialect) to chat; to gossip. 磕 is a typo but still widely used. it for a year, Chief Shan is so lucky, can’t you just show the face directly, want to see your wife.
Shan Qihuan took one look at Weibo and then went to modify the content of Weibo, he deleted the original photo, and replaced with a photo of Shan Qixin eating dumplings, someone actually dared to to think about his wife, not even the back will be shown!
Netizen: …
You are the first person who didn’t immediately delete a Weibo post to generate buzz, but directly change the content! Can’t we see it if you delete it? Oh, it’s a good thing we know how to take screenshots.
Shan Qihuan’s behavior of deleting photos was directly fired by netizens on the hot search, and then he spent money to remove it, and then he was fired on the hot search again that he was a dog.
Shen Yuhan, who had just finished showering and climbed into bed, completely unaware that during his shower, his husband was on the hot search again.
“Husband, sleepy, are you sleeping?” He said softly, hinting Shan Qihuan not to play with his mobile phone, “Will you sleep with me?”
Fighting with netizens is not as interesting as sleeping with his wife, Shan Qihuan pulled Shen Yuhan into his arms and kissed his earlobe.
Shen Yuhan curled his toes at his kiss: “Husband, I’m really sleepy.”
Shan Qihuan said very unreasonably: “You sleep on your own.”
Shen Yuhan turned around and pressed on top of him, hugged his hands, and yawned: “Don’t move any more.”
Seeing him like this, Shan Qihuan didn’t tease him anymore, he put his hand on the back of his head, rubbed it gently, and kissed him on the lips: “Go to sleep.”
Shen Yuhan finally found a comfortable position in Shan Qihuan’s arms and slept very peacefully.
In the quiet night, Shan Qihuan gradually fell asleep listening to Shen Yuhan’s steady breathing.
Gaining a wife in this way, what more could a man ask for.
–
Shen Yuhan’s first job in the modern world is also considered to be successfully completed, after his husband went to work, he began to download the APP related to online classes, Siri recommended a few good ones to him.
He had many choices, and finally found an online education software, there are tutoring services from famous teachers and so on, he also often saw this advertisement on TV.
It’s actually possible to learn, there are courses from kindergarten to high school third year, it just costs a little money, spend money to learn knowledge, it is really convenient.
While his husband went to the company, Shen Yuhan quietly clicked on the kindergarten curriculum in his study room to see what the children were learning first.
However, as soon as he started the course, Auntie Wang knocked on the door of his study room: “Mr. Shen, there is someone outside looking for you.”
Shen Yuhan pressed the pause button on his mobile phone: “Who?”
Auntie Wang said: “It’s the Second Madam and a young girl, do you want her to come in?”
Shen Yuhan said: “Okay, give them a cup of tea.”
After that, Shen Yuhan didn’t rush downstairs, but continued to watch the video for a few more minutes.
Then he tidied up his clothes, and went downstairs after everything was arranged to his satisfaction.
What does the Second Madam want to do with him?
His steps were graceful and light, and his white fingers rested lightly on the handrail, the Second Madam and the girl raised their heads and watched him slowly go downstairs, and for a moment they didn’t know how to speak.
Shen Yuhan sat down opposite them, and Auntie Wang brought him a cup of freshly brewed green tea.
The girl next to the Second Madam is not her daughter, he has never seen her.
He calmly pushed the lid of the teacup without making a sound, gently blew on the freshly scented green leaves floating on the top of the tea, and said casually5漫不經心 (màn bù jīng xīn): be careless (about); be casual; be negligent; indifferent; absent-minded.: “I wonder what the Second Madam’s visit today is about?”
The Second Madam has something to ask for today, and she doesn’t dare to be as arrogant and sharp as usual, Shen Yuhan speaks in a refined manner, although he didn’t say a single curse word, she feels uncomfortable hearing it, she could only endure it.
She gritted her teeth and said: “Yuhan, I’ll be blunt, the other day, it was Qibai who did something bad to you, you also smashed a vase on him, I want to beg you, can you let Qihuan let him go?”
Shen Yuhan put down the tea cup, and smiled gently: “Oh? What can he do to Shan Qibai.”
The Second Madam couldn’t hide the anger on her face: “Not only did he bring down all the companies that Qibai had finally built up, he also sent him to a drug rehabilitation center!”
Shen Yuhan said calmly: “Do you think I can influence Shan Qihuan’s decision?”
He didn’t know what a drug rehabilitation center was, but since it was his husband’s decision, he naturally wasn’t going to drag his feet.
The Second Madam started to talk recklessly again: “This happened because of you, of course you can do it.”
Shen Yuhan laughed softly and said: “Second Madam, why isn’t it the case that a benevolent mother who spoils her children will have bad children? If you don’t look for reasons within yourself, and always blame others for your mistakes, who will help you.” He stood up, not wanting to say anything more to the Second Madam, and said to Auntie Wang, who was standing not far away, “Auntie, see off the guests for me.”
He still had to go back to take online classes, he didn’t have time to care about these buffoons6跳梁小醜 (tiào liáng xiǎo chǒu): contemptible scoundrel; a buffoon who performs antics; a contemptible rebel; a clumsy mischief-maker., who wasted ten minutes of his time, and delayed his online classes.
At this moment, the girl who had been standing beside the Second Madam suddenly opened her mouth: “Shen Yuhan, don’t you remember me?”
Shen Yuhan raised his eyebrows, who are you?
