The Eldest Daughter Is Beautiful and Saucy
Chapter 1135: Belittle oneself
Chapter 1135: Self-deprecation
Just as Shen Kunyang was about to have someone pass the red envelope over, Bai Qingyu hurriedly stood up and bowed to Shen Kunyang as a junior, then respectfully took the red envelope with both hands: “Thank you, Uncle Shen!”
Shen Kunyang smiled and nodded. Before he could say anything, Bai Jinzhi had already stood up and took the lead in paying respect to Shen Kunyang as a junior. He smiled and said, “Uncle Shen, Happy New Year! I wish you peace and health, and may you live forever!”
A group of people burst into laughter at Bai Jinzhi’s naughty appearance. Shen Kunyang immediately handed over the red envelope: “Happy New Year to the Fourth Miss. May you be safe and happy in the new year! Of course…it would be even better if we could find a good boy to protect our Fourth Miss!”
Bai Jinzhi took the red envelope with both hands and said with a smile: “Why would I need a man’s protection? I am already invincible! Uncle Shen, if you don’t believe me, let’s have a fight later!”
“You’re becoming more and more rude!” Bai Qingyan smiled and scolded Bai Jinzhi.
“Xiao Ruohai, this is the red envelope Uncle Shen gave you. Mine is not as thick as Doctor Hong’s, so please don’t despise it!” Shen Kunyang looked at Xiao Ruohai with a smile. He was very comforted that Xiao Ruohai could return to the battlefield with Bai Qingyan.
Xiao Ruohai hurriedly stepped forward, bowed to Shen Kunyang, said some auspicious words, and took the red envelope with both hands.
“If the deputy commander knew that you have grown up so well, he would definitely feel comforted!” Shen Kunyang admired Xiao Ruohai very much. He glanced at Shen Qingzhu beside him and said to Xiao Ruohai, “The deputy commander has always hoped to see you get married. You should hurry up!”
Xiao Ruohai lowered his eyes and glanced at Shen Qingzhu who was eating dumplings with her head down. He responded in a muffled voice and left.
Shen Kunyang smiled and looked at Shen Qingzhu who was sitting next to him: “Qingzhu, this is the red envelope your foster father gave you! Foster father… also hopes to see you get married soon!”
Shen Qingzhu took the red envelope with both hands and thanked him. She didn’t want to spoil her adoptive father’s mood during the New Year, so she said that she didn’t plan to get married in her lifetime and would just stay by the eldest girl’s side. She said, “After the eldest girl has pacified the world, Qingzhu will definitely think about her lifelong affairs. Don’t worry, adoptive father.”
“Xiao Baishuai! Look… Doctor Hong gave a red envelope! Old Shen also gave one! I, Old Cheng, can’t refuse the red envelope!” Cheng Yuanzhi also took out the red envelopes prepared for several children and divided them among them with a smile.
“Oh my! Why didn’t you guys communicate with each other about preparing the red envelopes?” Yang Wuce looked annoyed, “I haven’t prepared anything here!”
“We are relying on our age to bully others, why are you, a young man, joining in the fun?” Shen Kunyang said to Yang Wuce with a smile.
When Lu Yuanpeng saw that Doctor Hong, Shen Kunyang, and Cheng Yuanzhi gave red envelopes to Bai’s elder sister, Bai’s fifth son, Bai Jinzhi… and even Shen Qingzhu, he felt a little jealous and instigated Sima Ping to go with him to ask for red envelopes.
“Lv Yuanpeng, aren’t you ashamed? Does Doctor Hong know who you are?” Sima Ping glared at Lv Yuanpeng, “If your father-in-law knew that you asked for New Year’s money from Doctor Hong, who doesn’t even know you, he would definitely beat you up!”
“We don’t know Doctor Hong, but we know General Shen! Let’s go ask General Shen for it!” Lu Yuanpeng didn’t want any red envelopes, he just missed his father-in-law, parents, brothers and sisters.
During the Chinese New Year last year, he was in southern Xinjiang. He did not see the Bai family’s sisters handing out red envelopes so lively, but he was able to have a lively time with the soldiers below, and he felt less homesick.
Today, seeing the sisters of the Bai family happily handing out red envelopes, he couldn’t help but think of his own relatives. If he were his son in the Lu Mansion in the capital city right now, his grandfather, uncle, aunt, father, and mother would definitely give him red envelopes, and his sisters and brothers would too, because he is still young!
“Lu San, Ma San…” Shen Kunyang shouted down.
Just as Lv Yuanpeng put the hot dumplings in his mouth, he was pulled up by Sima Ping. Lv Yuanpeng almost swallowed the hot dumplings right out of the pot whole and beat his chest because of the burn.
“I’m here!” Sima Ping stepped forward and knelt on one knee to salute.
Lu Yuanpeng also saluted: “I’m here!”
“Come…” Shen Kunyang waved at the two of them.
The two men hurried forward, saluted again and stood up. Lv Yuanpeng scratched his head and said, “General Shen, please stop calling me Lv San Lv San! I’m almost embarrassed! I thought no one knew who I was! But the result is… The whole army knows that I am Lv Yuanpeng, and I’m the only one who doesn’t know. I really thought that others admired me from the bottom of their hearts, but it turns out that they were just joking with me!”
Bai Qingyan looked at Lu Yuanpeng and smiled, “That’s all later. It’s true that you can endure hardships in the army! General Shen and General Cheng saw it and praised you to me!”
“Here are the New Year’s red envelopes for you two brats! You must work harder and fight bravely next year!” Shen Kunyang threw the red envelopes to Lu Yuanpeng and Sima Ping. After seeing them catch them, he said, “The soldiers in the army are not those opportunists you see in the capital. If you two don’t have any real skills, they won’t obey you! If they can obey you, it means that you two still have some real skills! There’s no need to belittle yourselves!”
Bai Qingyan also smiled and nodded.
Seeing this, Lu Yuanpeng showed his big white teeth and said with a smile: “I believe in General Shen!”
“You two can’t go home to reunite with your families this year, but the soldiers who fought with you are also our family!” Bai Qingyan said, throwing two red envelopes to the two of them, “You two are younger than me, and you call me Sister Bai. What Ayu and Xiaosi have, you also have…”
Sima Ping raised his head and looked at Bai Qingyan, and saw that Bai Qingyan’s eyes were full of warmth and calmness. The flickering candlelight made Bai Qingyan’s flawless and delicate facial features look warm. Sima Ping couldn’t figure out for a moment whether Bai Qingyan wanted to win over the hearts of the Lu and Sima families through the two of them, or if he really regarded them as his younger brothers.
Seeing Sima Ping staring at Bai’s sister in a daze, Lu Yuanpeng pressed Sima Ping’s head down to bow and thank Bai’s sister.
“Let’s go eat dumplings!” Bai Qingyan glanced at Sima Ping. This kid didn’t have a bad heart, but he seemed to be more and more thoughtful. However, the heartless Lu Yuanpeng had such a friend around him, and the two of them complemented each other.
In the bustling camp for the wounded and sick, someone suddenly started singing the Bai Family Army’s military song.
“Wear my armor and I will share the same enemy and hatred with you.”
Bai Qingyan and Bai Qingyu raised their heads and looked at the soldier who spoke first.
More soldiers started singing along…
“Holding the long sword to kill the enemy, I will live and die with you.”
When Shen Kunyang and Cheng Yuanzhi heard the Bai family army’s military song, their expressions were solemn. They also put down their chopsticks and sang along: “Defend the mountains and rivers, protect the people, be fearless and true warriors.”
