Shen Yuhan’s first New Year in the modern world is still quite joyful, he is also slowly adapting to modern life, getting to know Shan Qihuan’s relatives seriously, and treating others sincerely.
They all go out together in the first few days of the New Year, and Shan Qixin stays at their house.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the auntie went home to celebrate the New Year, and the only one who could cook was Shen Yuhan, he cooked a table full of Qi Kingdom cuisine, and all the ingredients were cooked according to the way he had been in the Qi Kingdom, it’s much more convenient here, there is a gas stove, so there is no need to burn firewood, which is very convenient, one of his dishes today is braised mutton1燜羊肉 (mèn yáng ròu): Braised Mutton. 
, with seasonings cooked according to the Qi Kingdom style, Shen Yuhan especially went to the spice market to find these seasonings, some of the names of the spices have changed now, he spent a lot of time searching the modern names on the Internet.
In addition to braised mutton, there are also other carefully prepared dishes, some fried, some steamed, the staple food is also quite rich, several colors of grains form together to symbolize abundant harvest of all food crops2五穀豐登 (wǔ gǔ fēng dēng): abundant harvest of all food crops; bumper grain harvest; a good year and a good harvest., eat meat and then eat grains, it is also quite healthy.
Shen Yuhan started preparing meals for three people at three o’clock in the afternoon, with Shan Qihuan helping out beside him, and Shan Qixin was responsible for being a licking dog3舔狗 (tiǎn gǒu): (neologism, slang, derogatory) one who undignifiedly pursues one’s love towards someone who in no way reciprocates it; simp., no, a boasting machine.
“Sister-in-law, you even know how to cook Dongpo Pork4東坡肉 (Dōng pō ròu): Dongpo pork, also known as Dongpo meat, is a Hangzhou dish made by pan-frying and then red-cooking pork belly. The pork is typically cut into thick, approximately 5 centimeter (2.0 inch) squares, with an even distribution of fat and lean meat, while retaining the skin. The texture is tender and juicy without being excessively greasy, accompanied by a fragrant aroma of wine. The dish is named in honor of Su Dongpo (Su Shi), a distinguished Song Dynasty poet and gastronome. 
! This is also too awesome!”
Shen Yuhan accepted his compliment: “Not bad, Brother-in-law, you peel the taro a bit, I’ll steam the pork for you later.”
Shan Qixin looks like a newcomer: “Um, um, um, what is this lotus root used for?”
Shen Yuhan, wearing an apron, was cutting lotus roots: “I’m making stuffed lotus roots, they’re filled with pork, can you eat it?”
Shan Qixin wiped the corner of his mouth: “Can, can, I don’t have enough to eat every day on the set, I won’t watch my diet during the New Year, my manager won’t scold me.”
“Oh, I also won’t care if your manager scolds you.” Shen Yuhan, this sister-in-law, was quite ruthless with his words, having learned them from Shan Qihuan.
Shan Qihuan was annoyed by his younger brother’s talkativeness: “Your sister-in-law asked you to peel the taro, and you’re talking so much.”
“Third Brother, focus on chopping your meat, and don’t boss me around.” Shan Qixin rarely saw his third brother take off his suit, roll up his sleeves, and chop meat, in less than half a year, his third brother had changed so much that he almost couldn’t remember his previous persona.
“Still dare to talk back.” Shan Qihuan waved his double knife used to chop meat, there is a meat grinder at home, but his wife insists that it tastes better if chopped by hand, the minced meat has no soul, and now he is about to chop it until his soul is about to ascend.
Shan Qixin didn’t dare to continue to quarrel with his third brother and obediently went to peel the taro.
Under the leadership of Shen Yuhan, the dinner on New Year’s Day became the contribution of three people, everyone contributed a part, and this dinner became particularly meaningful.
The three of them have eaten their fill, Shan Qihuan and Shan Qixin are already paralyzed on the sofa and don’t want to move.
Shan Qixin patted his round belly: “Satisfied.”
Shan Qihuan’s eyes were empty, and he was so full that it almost reached his throat, he had never eaten so much since he started working out.
His wife is not only extremely talented but also an excellent cook, such a wife belongs completely to him, which makes him laugh just thinking about it.
Shen Yuhan took advantage of his husband’s daze and put his hand on his bulging belly: “Husband, you go and clean up the dishes and chopsticks to help digestion.”
Shan Qihuan kicked Shan Qixin, who was leaning on the other side, and said: “Shan Qixin, go clean up the dishes and chopsticks to help digestion.”
“Sister-in-law is calling you, not me.” Shan Qihuan remained paralyzed and unmoved5不為所動 (bù wéi suǒ dòng): to remain unmoved; steadfast; rise superior to; not to be attracted; not to be swayed; not to be affected by external forces..
Shen Yuhan was amused by his husband and brother-in-law, they were indeed biological brothers, he did the opposite and said: “Then I’d better go.”
Wife still has to clean up the dishes and chopsticks after cooking, it is absolutely impossible, so Shan Huan immediately stood up, and at the same time forcefully pulls Shan Qixin up: “I’ll clean up the dining table, you clean up the kitchen.” At least there is division of labor and cooperation.
Shen Yuhan watched the two of them bickering while bustling about, and couldn’t help but think of his brothers, who also often bickered like this, don’t know if they would still maintain this way of getting along after he left, he hoped that they will always be happy.
–
On the second day and the third day of the Lunar New Year, the three of them went to have dinner with the eldest brother and the second sister respectively, they all have aunties who cook at home, and they are only responsible for eating, Shan Qiyuan, Shan Qibing, and Shan Qixin have completely different temperaments, they are not easy to fool, Shen Yuhan had to be careful at all times and not talk nonsense, so he was naturally more reserved in their home, he only regard himself as a guest, and didn’t deliberately get close to them.
On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Shan Qihuan took Shen Yuhan to visit Ding Quan’s home, there were quite a lot of people, Liu Tan and the others were also there, during this period, Shen Yuhan was also busy at the kitchen with Ding Quan’s wife, he cooked two dishes for everyone to taste, which won a lot of praise and earned Shan Qihuan plenty of face.
Shan Qihuan couldn’t wait to live in the company every day during the Spring Festival in previous years, he never expected that after having a wife, his sense of superiority and vanity would gradually be satisfied, of course, after returning home, he still had to press his wife’s hands and feet, he pressed Shen Yuhan’s body up and down repeatedly to satisfy his wife’s needs.
Shen Yuhan said in his heart, in fact, he didn’t have that many needs, he kind of hoped that his husband would go back to work at the company as soon as possible, he was so sticky and annoying.
Once the seventh day of the Lunar New Year was over, the house became quiet.
Shen Yuhan originally thought that he could continue to study online classes at home, but he suddenly received an invitation from Director Fang, the other party wanted to ask him to come to the capital to help record the ancient music they had unearthed, the details required a face-to-face meeting because it involved confidentiality work.
He told Shan Qihuan about the matter that night: “Husband, Director Fang asked me to play a song, do you think I should go?”
Shan Qihuan had dissatisfaction written all over his face: “Why can’t you record it in Jiang City and then send it to them?”
Shen Yuhan pulled him to sit on the small couch: “Director Fang told me that this is a confidential job and cannot be leaked.”
Shan Qihuan said sadly: “If you went to Bei City on a business trip, wouldn’t you leave me alone at home?”
Huh? Only then did Shen Yuhan realize that, if he agreed to go on a business trip to the capital, wouldn’t it mean that Director Fang’s invitation was considered a job?
“It seems so.” Shen Yuhan recalled that when his husband went on a business trip, he was also alone at home, he hugged Shan Qihuan’s arm and swayed it, “When Husband goes on a business trip, I also wait for you to come back home, so if I go on a business trip, Husband will also wait for me too, right.”
“So, does that mean you want to go to the capital?” Shan Qihuan could clearly hear his implication, which meant that Shen Yuhuan would be away from home for a while.
“Um, I’d like to hear what kind of music is available at Director Fang’s place, to broaden my horizons?” This is a new term Shen Yuhuan had recently learned.
“You are multi-talented enough, and your painting exhibition hasn’t ended yet,” Shan Qihuan couldn’t resist his coquettishness the most, “You can go, but you can’t go alone, I’ll assign two bodyguards, and also an assistant to you.”
“I listen to my husband.” Shen Yuhan responded obediently, mainly because it was impossible not to listen, and then asked with a lack of confidence, “Am I really multi-talented?”
Shan Qihuan reached out and hooked his chin: “You are definitely multi-talented in seducing me.”
Shen Yuhan wrinkled his nose and snorted: “I’m being serious with you, but you’re always being immodest.”
“Where am I being immodest, I’m fulfilling my marital obligations normally, do you know that if one of the spouses doesn’t satisfy the other, and their sexual life is not harmonious, they can get a divorce.” Shan Qihuan discussed the topic of immodesty with him in a serious manner.
“There’s still such a thing.” Shen Yuhan only knew about the seven outs6七出 (qī chū): Seven reasons why wives were abandoned in Chinese feudal society. T/N: The complete phrase is 七出三不去 (qī chū sān bù qù), seven outs and three not outs. It means that there’s 7 grounds for divorcing a wife and 3 reason the husband can’t divorce the wife. The 7 outs is: The wife lacks filial piety towards her parents-in-law; She fails to bear a son; She is vulgar or lewd/adulterous; She is jealous, this includes objecting to her husband taking an additional wife or concubine; She has a vile disease; She is gossipy; She commits theft. The 3 clearly defined exceptions, under which unilateral divorce is forbidden despite the presence of any of the seven aforementioned grounds: She has no family to return to because her parents have passed away; She had observed a full, three-year mourning for a parent-in-law; Her husband was poor when they married, and is now rich. More information: Link 1, Link 2., but this is not common in modern times, however, he did not expect that the country’s laws still protect that aspect of the couple’s life.
Doesn’t it mean that his husband wants him to satisfy him well? He actually reminded him in this way!
Shen Yuhan glared at his husband, don’t they have enough in that regard?
–
Director Fang invited Shen Yuhan to the capital on the grounds that he needed ‘talents’.
On the day of departure, Shan Qihuan personally escorted Shen Yuhan to the airport, looking at the crowds of people coming and going, Shan Qihuan was afraid that others would bump into him and hurt him, so he was considering whether to buy a private jet, after thinking for a second, he kept the plan in mind when he returned home later, he would ask an acquaintance how to buy a jet, and which model was the safest.
Shen Yuhan didn’t know that his husband was thinking so long-term, this was the first time he went on a business trip, and his mood was different from the last time he took a plane alone to find Shan Qihuan, this was for his own work assignment.
Yes, he is also a man with a job now, if he were still in the Qi Kingdom now, he would never have imagined that one day he would have to work for money, however, playing the qin for the country’s institutions is not just making a living as a performer, which is barely acceptable, nowadays, it is still very important to earn his own little money, the netizens on the Internet often say that after getting married, one must have his own career and cannot be a househusband, otherwise he will gradually lose himself.
They walked further and entered the security check, Shan Qihuan couldn’t go in, so he also held Shen Yuhan’s hand and told him what to do after arriving in the capital, after that, he also talked to the assistant he sent over a few words about Shen Yuhan’s living habits.
Shen Yuhan was really happy to hear this, and even joked: “Husband, if you keep talking, I will miss the plane.”
“How dare you dislike me for being nagging, tell me which of your trips out of the house puts me at ease.” Shan Qihuan pushed him forward, “Hurry up and go, I don’t want to see you anymore.”
Shen Yuhan looked at his stern face, turned around with a smile, and took the initiative to hug his waist: “I will take good care of myself, don’t worry.”
“I’m not worried, you go quickly, I can only be happy when you leave.” Shan Qihuan smoothed his hair, his movements were gentle, but his mouth pretended to be cold, “I’m only comfortable when you’re not at home.”
Shen Yuhan has long been used to him saying the opposite: “Then I’ll go in.” He also can’t help but remind his husband, “Husband, don’t get drunk when drinking with friends.”
“Oh, I don’t.” Shan Qihuan played the rebellious adolescent boy for Shen Yuhan.
Since he said so, he would certainly not get drunk, only then did Shen Yuhan feel relieved to go to the security check.
When he handed over his identification document to the security inspector, he looked back and found that his husband was still standing there, Shen Yuhan waved his hand at him, and Shan Qihuan waved his hand stiffly.
The security inspector handed back his identification document, and Shen Yuhan had to go in.
The next part will be up soon.
