Shan Qixin ultimately took the program team’s car home.
He was, after all, the main character of the show, so it didn’t matter if Shan Qihuan and Shen Yuhan go far away, but when he realized that he had been forgotten by this pair of husband and wife, Shan Qixin was not happy when he returned home and starts entering a mode of grumbling on the side.
“How could you forget about me?”
“I was still carrying the groceries at the back.”
“How could both of you think like this, Third Brother, am I still your younger brother, or have I, at this age, been forgotten?” Shan Qihuan peeled chestnuts for Shen Yuhan and said, “Aren’t you back now? You’re not a child, needing us to keep an eye on you, besides, you’re the main character of the program, and we are just accompanying characters, not important.”
“Then you also can’t just say that you don’t remember if you don’t remember.” Shan Qixin got angry thinking about it, “I was still waiting for you in the store for almost half an hour.”
“It’s not that I don’t remember it either, didn’t I call you now.” Shan Qihuan felt a little guilty.
“Yes you did, you’re all home now!” Shan Qixin was still furiously grumbling.
Shen Yuhan came out of the kitchen, and brought out two bowls of osmanthus-scented sweet soup with water chestnuts1桂花馬蹄糖水 (guì huā mǎ tí táng shuǐ): Osmanthus-scented sweet soup with water chestnuts. 
: “One bowl for each person, Brother-in-law, calm down, we didn’t mean to.”
He couldn’t say what he had just said to his sister-in-law, he took a sip of the water chestnuts, and his anger immediately subsided.
“Hmph, I think it’s all my Third Brother’s fault, Sister-in-law, you’ve been led astray.”
Shan Qihuan doesn’t want to talk to him anymore, of course, he had to care about his wife when he was here: “Aren’t you going to drink it?”
Shen Yuhan said: “It’s inside, I bring it to you first.”
Shan Qihuan didn’t want to listen to his brother’s prattle anymore: “I’ll go and get it to you.” He pressed Shen Yuhan into his position, “You drink my bowl.”
Shen Yuhan nodded: “Okay.”
Now it was Shan Qixin’s turn not to want to talk anymore, this osmanthus-scented sweet soup with water chestnuts was quite delicious: he said with emotion: “After a while, I won’t be able to drink this sugary water when I join the set.”
“Then if you want to eat it when you get home, I’ll make it for you.” Shen Yuhan said naturally.
“Oh, that’s right.” Shan Qixin felt comfortable listening to his sister-in-law’s warm and soft words.
–
At noon, Shen Yuhan served noodles to the three of them, after eating, Shan Qixin took the initiative to wash the dishes.
In the evening, he still has to cook a table of food, but this plan doesn’t affect his daily life, he is still doing what he should be doing, but today there is one more person who listens to him play music and watches him write calligraphy and paint.
It was rare for Shan Qihuan to have a day off at home, but there were outsiders at home today, so he was still a little uncomfortable.
Today, the program team wanted to film Shen Yuhan’s study, but it was rejected by Shan Qihuan, they are not the real main character, they should be filming Shan Qixin.
He lay on Shen Yuhan’s small couch, crossing his legs, and feeling comfortable: “I didn’t expect that the small couch you bought would be so useful, it was really suitable for napping, Shen Yuhan, come here and take a nap with me.”
“Not listening to the qin anymore?”
“You have been busy since you got up this morning and haven’t rested yet, so accompany me for a while.”
Shen Yuhan sat up from the qin table, and walked to Shan Qihuan, his husband took him into his arms, and held him tightly.
“Husband, isn’t it hot?”
“It’s not hot, by the way, let me ask you something.”
“Um? You say.”
“Why did you say you had a big brother yesterday? I remember your dad didn’t seem to have any brothers or anything like that.” Shan Qihuan thought to himself, if Shen Yuhan had such a good brother, why didn’t he have a trustworthy relative around him now?
He became more and more curious about Shen Yuhan’s past, because what he said from his mouth was something he could not find out.
Shen Yuhan was originally also a little sleepy, but when he asked him this question, his scalp tightened, and his eyes flickered a little, he had to lie again about the past that he had accidentally told: “It’s my neighbor’s big brother when I was young, they can also be considered my family, they all treated me very well.”
Shan Qihuan didn’t want to doubt him or anything, but asked casually: “Oh, but why don’t you guys keep in touch?”
Shen Yuhan turned his back to Shan Qihuan, found a reason that Shan Qihuan could accept, and said: “Their family left the country a long time ago, and we haven’t contacted each other since, but when I occasionally think back to it, it is a good memory, so I will talk to you about it.”
Shan Qihuan was a little sleepy, half-closed his eyes, and said: “Okay, in the future, if you miss your family, you can think of me, but don’t think of other men, moreover, one who has no blood relationship.”
Shen Yuhan laughed softly: “You’re still jealous of this.”
Shan Qihuan kissed his earlobe: “No, talking nonsense.”
Shen Yuhan shrank his neck, grateful for his husband’s unconditional trust in himself, except about the matter that he came from ancient times that he couldn’t tell that made him feel guilty.
He didn’t want to change the topic anymore, so he fell silent and then heard Shan Qihuan’s steady breathing.
Too tired and fell asleep?
He pinched Shan Qihuan’s fingers on his waist and rubbed them gently, Shan Qihuan’s hands became more and more relaxed, he didn’t wake up no matter how much Shen Yuhan rubbed and kneaded it, it seemed that he had fallen into a deep sleep.
The air conditioner in the room was blowing a cool breeze slowly, Shen Yuhan hooked the blanket next to them with his feet to cover the two of them, falling asleep peacefully in front of his husband’s firm chest.
–
When Shan Qihuan woke up in the afternoon, his wife was no longer on the couch, leaving only the blanket with a faint jasmine fragrance of his wife.
He folded the blanket, his mind gradually cleared up, and his temples were no longer tense, he hadn’t had such a deep nap in the afternoon in a long time.
He actually knew that Shen Yuhan was hiding something from him, the past stories he talked about always didn’t fit in with his family environment, he wanted to get to the bottom of it2刨根問底 (páo gēn wèn dǐ): to dig up roots and inquire at the base (idiom); to get to the bottom of something; get to the bottom/root of a matter., but after thinking about it, he let it go, he was willing to wait, but he was actually also a little bit afraid of what he might find out.
Shan Qihuan picked up his muted mobile phone on the table, sent a message to Assistant Qu, and then went downstairs.
The downstairs was busier than ever, in addition to the people from the program team, his second sister had come over, and was talking to Shan Qixin.
He didn’t understand why his second sister came over at this time: “Second Sister.”
Shan Qibing immediately solved his doubts: “It’s rare that I have free time today, your brother-in-law brought the kids back to their grandmother’s house, so I came over for dinner.”
Probably due to the bond of blood, he and Shan Qibing have always been getting along very peacefully, but they lack a bit of the intimacy he had with Shan Qixin.
“Where’s Big Brother?”
“He’s busy with family matters, he’ll come over later.”
With people from the program team present, Shan Qihuan couldn’t ask too many questions: “You talk to Shan Qixin first, and I’ll go into the kitchen to help.” He began to roll up his sleeves.
Shan Qibing looked at him and teased: “So you can still be caring.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Shan Qixin immediately brought up what had happened that morning: “Second Sister, let me tell you, do you know how annoying Third Brother was this morning…”
Shan Qihuan immediately quickened his pace into the kitchen, where his wife was chopping meat with two knives, “It smells so good, what are you preparing?”
Shen Yuhan stopped chopping meat: “Husband, I’m making braised lion’s head3紅燒獅子頭 (hóng shāo shī zi tóu): lit. simmer-fried lion’s head; braised lion’s head; braised pork meatballs; Lion’s Head 獅子頭 (shī zi tóu) or stewed meatball is a dish from the Huaiyang cuisine of eastern China, consisting of large pork meatballs or beef meatballs stewed with vegetables. There are two varieties: white (or plain), and red (紅燒, cooked with soy sauce). The plain variety is usually stewed or steamed with napa cabbage. The red variety can be stewed with cabbage or cooked with bamboo shoots and tofu derivatives. The name “lion’s head”, derives from the shape of the meatball which is supposed to resemble the head of the Chinese guardian lion, specifically. 
, you’re here at the right time, help me chop it up.”
“Um, what else do you want to do?” Shan Qihuan didn’t hesitate.
Shen Yuhan pointed to a box of aquatic products delivered by Shan Qibing at noon, including fish, crabs, and shrimps: “We need to deal with these first, when will dad and eldest brother arrive?”
Shan Qihuan said: “I don’t know yet, dinner is at six o’clock, they’ll definitely arrive.”
Shen Yuhan glanced at the lively fish and said: “Then I’ll make some light dishes, the elderly shouldn’t eat oily food.” He is very clever, and he didn’t mention in front of the camera that Tianfeng had just had surgery.
“Okay, what else do I need to help you with?” Shan Qihuan didn’t really want to chop meat, so why did this kind of work always fall on him?
“I’ll tell you later if I need help, you first help me chop up the meat.” Shen Yuhan looked at him and smiled, “Husband, don’t be lazy.”
Afterward, Shan Qixin and Shan Qibing came in to help after talking, with four people together, it was very fast, someone washed the vegetables, someone handled the condiments, and someone peeled the beans, it couldn’t have been faster.
There was still an hour left before dinner started, cold dishes were placed on the table one after another, and then hot dishes.
The kitchen has been filled with a mouth-watering aroma.
When the last dish was completed4大功告成 (dà gōng gào chéng): (of a project, work, etc.) to be accomplished; to be crowned with success; successfully accomplished (project or goal); to be highly successful; be brought to successful completion., Shen Yuhan finally breathed a sigh of relief, it had been a long time since he had cooked so many dishes in one go, and when he saw that the dishes on the table were all cooked by himself, he felt very good, being able to help his husband was the best.
Shan Qixin actively ran back and forth between the kitchen and the dining room, helping to serve the food, and preparing dishes and chopsticks.
Shan Qihuan went to his wine cabinet and got a bottle of wine.
Not long after, the doorbell rang.
Shan Tianfeng and Shan Qiyuan entered the door one after another.
After changing his shoes, he went straight to the dining room: “I smelled the chicken soup stewed by Yuhan when I entered the door.”
Shen Yuhan poked his head out from the kitchen door: “Dad, are you here?”
“You’re really amazing, preparing such a table of food by yourself.”
“I didn’t prepare it alone, the four of us prepared it together.” It’s rare for so many people to come to the house, he also didn’t make any pretense, beaming with delight, regardless of everyone’s thoughts, he was really happy right now.
The Shan Group had already been sent by Shan Tianfeng to Shan Qihuan’s hand, from a general point of view, Shen Yuhan couldn’t possibly hate the other party, he had no such reason.
“Oh, I thought all of you don’t touch the spring water with ten fingers5十指不沾陽春水 (shí zhǐ bù zhān yáng chūn shuǐ): lit. don’t touch the spring water with ten fingers (proverb); to have no need to fend for oneself; to lead a pampered life; There is a saying that the ten fingers should not touch the Yangchun water, which means that the weather is very cold in March and you don’t have to wash the clothes yourself. It is a metaphor for a person who has a good family situation and does not have to do the laundry or do housework. It usually refers to a pampered and pampered person, usually a woman from a wealthy family..”
“That’s not possible, I will help every time I come here, I don’t just eat for free.”
“You kid.” Shan Qiyuan laughed and said, “Are you implying that I didn’t help?”
With Shan Qixin’s interruption, the atmosphere became even better.
It seems that the four brothers and sisters have not had dinner alone with Shan Tianfeng, but today they are still blessed by Shen Yuhan.
When everyone was seated, Shan Qixin quietly poured wine for everyone.
Shen Yuhan saw that the wine glass in front of him was different from others, and looked at Shan Qihuan with a little sadness: “Where’s mine?”
“You still dare to drink?” Shan Qihuan looked at him steadily.
Shen Yuhan’s face heated up, remembering that they were sent to the police station by passers-by in broad daylight, everyone laughed.
Obviously, everyone knows about this.
Shen Yuhan had no choice but to give up the idea of tasting the wine: “Okay, not drinking then not drinking.”
At the dining table, Shan Tianfeng didn’t lecture anyone with profound principles, everyone earnestly ate their meal, and when they were almost done eating, everyone started chatting casually, the eldest brother and the second sister both have children, so they talked about the children, Shan Tianfeng can also join in, after all, they are his own grandchildren.
Surprisingly, Shen Yuhan also joined the conversation without any problem.
The second sister mentioned that her child had a cough recently due to the change of seasons, Shen Yuhan told her: “Second Sister, you can try a dietary supplement, stewed squab with apricot and pear6杏水梨燉乳鴿 (xìng shuǐ lí dùn rǔ gē): Stewed squab with apricot and pear. 
, when I had a cough in the past, my family would stew this for me to drink, and I stopped coughing in two days.”
Shan Qibing has indeed been troubled by her child’s cough recently, she has tried all kinds of methods, but there is no improvement: “That’s fine, I’ll try it when I go home.”
“I’ll write you the recipe, and you can cook it according to it.” Shen Yuhan went to get a pen and paper to write the recipe.
He used a modern simple writing brush, without looking closely, it couldn’t be seen that the tip of the brush was soft, but he used it no differently from a signing pen, after he finished writing the recipe, he handed it to Shan Qibing.
Shan Qibing stared at the paper for a long time: “Your handwriting is really beautiful.”
Shan Tianfeng reached out and asked her for it: “I’ll take a look too.” After looking at it, he nodded, “Yuhan, I see you often write characters for Old Man Jiang and the others, why don’t you write one for me too.”
At this time, Shen Yuhan had no reason to refuse, the program team even came over to discuss with them, asking if he could demonstrate his writing on the spot.
Shen Yuhan said yes.
Shan Qihuan secretly glances at Shan Tianfeng, his wife is so tired, but he still has to perform writing, after finishing this program, he will hide his wife away, and won’t let him write for anyone, hmph.
When everything was ready, Shen Yuhan asked Shan Tianfeng: “Dad, what words do you want to write?”
Shan Tianfeng thought for a moment: “Let’s just write; if the family lives in harmony all affairs will prosper7家和萬事興 (jiā hé wàn shì xīng): if the family lives in harmony all affairs will prosper (proverb); harmony in the family leads to prosperity in all undertakings..”
Of course, Shen Yuhan couldn’t say that it was not good, he knew what Shan Tianfeng meant, and presumably, his husband and others also understood.
Just write it.
Shan Qihuan was grinding ink at the side for him, Shen Yuhan chose his most suitable brush, dipped it in the ink, and wrote down ‘If the family lives in harmony all affairs will prosper’, in a single breath, without pause in the middle.
He doesn’t know how others perceive his handwriting, but he knows that his writing style and strength have changed, his previous writing used to be a bit soft, without any sharp edges, and the eldest brother always said he was still lacking a bit of maturity, now when he looks at his own handwriting, it seemed that he had become more mature, it was different from his previous handwriting, he seemed to be a little more energetic and confident.
He wrote the paragraph.
The director also took a photo of their family together.
After the filming of the third day’s program was completed, the program crew thanked them and left.
Everything seemed to be back to normal, but there was something different.
Shan Qibing said that she had to go home first, and she was still referring to the recipe given by Shen Yuhan to stew pigeon meat at home.
Shan Tianfeng sipped the tea Shen Yuhan had made, sat for a while, and said: “Lao San, where is the study, I want to talk to you about something.”
They hadn’t talked to each other before Shan Qihuan took over the Shan Group, but now he want to chat with him alone, which was quite unexpected.
This time, Shan Qiyuan sat leisurely in the living room, talking to Shan Qixin.
Shen Yuhan deliberately avoided it and went to his own greenhouse.
Only when his husband came out did he return to the house.
After sending everyone away, the house quieted down, Shen Yuhan was so tired that he fell into his husband’s arms: “Husband, cooking is so tiring.”
Shan Qihuan gently rubbed his arm: “Don’t do this in the future.”
Shen Yuhan laughed softly: “But I was quite happy doing it.”
Shan Qihuan looked into his clear eyes and knew that he wasn’t lying, so he lowered his head and kissed his eyes: “Thank you.”
“I told you not to thank me.” Shen Yuhan pulled his head down and kissed the corner of his mouth.
Shan Qihuan laughed quietly, his wife was still as active as ever: “Okay, no thanks.”
–
The next day.
Shan Qihuan sat in the car and headed to the company, Assistant Qu was also there.
Assistant Qu said: “Boss, I’ve gotten someone to ask about what you asked me to check yesterday.”
Shan Qihuan asked him: “How?”
Assistant Qu forwarded the information to him: “We found Mr. Shen’s former neighbors, but none of them moved abroad, there’s only one man who went abroad to study for two years after graduating from university, but he’s not the right age, the other party is over thirty, and has long since started a family.”
Shan Qihuan frowned: “Could it have been earlier?”
Assistant Qu: “It’s not impossible, but the residents of the old houses in that area are all local people, everyone knows each other’s backgrounds, so there should be no such person, or should I investigate further? Maybe it’s a relative of one of the families who lived there?”
Shan Qihuan shook his head: “Forget it, there’s no need to check.”
Shen Yuhan said it so sincerely, why did he have to make up a story to lie to him?
The author has something to say:
I have a cold and a cough, so it’s a little less today~
