Rebirth of the Millennial: Getting Rich After Parents Get Laid Off

Chapter 150 Housewarming Party

Not long after, Chen Man sent word that they had set off and were heading to Shen Qingxin's new home.

Shen Qingqing told her to send a message on QQ when they arrived, and she would come down to meet them.

When Chen Man and the others arrived, Shen Yangyang had just finished her Chinese test.

Shen Qingqing glanced at her phone and asked Shen Yangyang, "Yangyang, your sister Manman is here. Do you want to come downstairs to greet her?"

Shen Yangyang immediately threw down her pen: "I want it!"

She certainly wouldn't miss out on something that would allow her to slack off for a little while.

When he came out of the living room, Shen Hong was no longer watching TV. A music channel was playing songs on TV, and he was sitting on the sofa reading children's picture books.

"Mom, Manman is here! Yangyang and I are going down to meet her!" Shen Qingqing called out to the kitchen from behind the screen separating the living room and dining room.

Li Xunli and Li Yuxing were busy preparing the ingredients. Li Yuxing had bought a lot of seafood, much of which they had to process themselves.

Hearing Shen Qingqing's words, Li Xunli put down the oyster in her hand. "Then you have to hold Yangyang's hand and make sure she doesn't get lost on her own. You also have to apologize to Manman's parents for not being able to come and pick them up."

Shen Qingqing replied "Okay," and turned her head to see Shen Hong had put down his picture book and was already standing next to them, looking at them expectantly.

Shen Qingqing hesitated for a moment, then, understanding Shen Hong's expression, asked again, "Mom! Can Xiao Hong go too?"

This time, Li Xunli took a little longer to think, as if she was recalling whether there was anything in the neighborhood that would be too dangerous for a six-year-old child.

After a long pause, she said, "Alright, then you'll have to take good care of your younger siblings, hold their hands tightly, and not let them walk alone."

Shen Qingqing looked at the tall and short figures standing behind her: "Did you hear that? You have to hold my hand, you can't walk by yourself."

Shen Yangyang and Shen Hong immediately took Shen Qingqing's left and right hands and strolled out with her.

The neighborhood was easy to find, and with the help of navigation, Chen Yanfeng arrived at Yujing Haoting without any problems.

Shen Qingqing was already waiting at the entrance of the residential area with her two children.

As soon as the familiar car stopped, Shen Qingqing saw the back door open and Chen Man, carrying a large backpack, rushing straight towards her.

"Qingqing—!"

Shen Qingqing's eyes widened, and she quickly pulled Shen Yangyang and Shen Hong a couple of steps away, afraid that she would be injured.

It wasn't a big deal that she was knocked down, but she had promised Li Xunli to keep an eye on the two little ones before she left home. If they were dragged down and fell, she would definitely get a beating when she got home.

Fortunately, Chen Man slowed down when she was almost in front of them, her eyes narrowed with joy, and she reached out to hug Shen Qingqing.

Shen Qingqing was holding the child's hands with both hands and couldn't hug him back, but fortunately Chen Man didn't mind and even took the initiative to hold Shen Yangyang's hand for her.

Shen Qingqing smiled slightly at Chen Yanfeng and Chen Man's mother who were walking behind her: "Hello, Uncle and Aunt. I'm so sorry, my mother is at home preparing today's ingredients and can't come to pick you up, so it's just me, my younger brother and sister, and me."

Chen Yanfeng and his wife didn't care about that, but they were quite surprised to hear Shen Qingqing say that: "Your mother prepared the ingredients herself? Didn't you invite anyone to cook today?"

As Shen Qingqing led them home, she replied, "No, because we only invited close relatives and friends, and there weren't many people, so we cooked it ourselves."

Furthermore, they didn't treat everyone to one meal; some were treated to lunch, and others to dinner.

Li Yuxing was a chef when she was young, and her cooking skills were quite good.

The further they went in, the louder Chen Man exclaimed in surprise. The high price of Royal View Garden was indeed justified; the landscaping and gardening were truly excellent.

It has everything: small bridges, flowing water, and artificial hills.

Chen Man looked at Chen Yanfeng with envy and said, "Dad, let's buy a new house here too, and be Qingqing's neighbors!"

Having seen the prices in the sales hall, Chen Yanfeng smiled and said, "Go ask your uncle. If he's willing to buy a house here, you can come and stay often, but it's impossible for our family to buy one."

Chen Man pouted in disappointment, but quickly let it go.

She's not as naive as she used to be. She knows that while her uncle loves her, she can't leave her own home to live with him.

Moreover, buying a house is not something a child like her can just decide to do.

As they went upstairs, they ran into Zhang Mingfang, who was returning from a walk, and naturally took over the task of entertaining Chen Yanfeng and his wife.

After arriving home, Shen Qingqing took Chen Man to her room.

Shen Yangyang thought she could avoid the remaining exam paper, but before she could even sit down and pick up the remote, she heard an ancient call from Shen Qingqing: "Shen Yangyang—"

Shen Yangyang painfully put down the remote control, knelt down, and slowly crawled into her room. Shen Qingqing and Chen Man were already waiting for her in her room.

After Shen Rongzhou clocked in at the company in the morning, he went to Zhang Zeqin's office to invite him to his home for a housewarming banquet. Shang Tonggui was also among those invited. As for the others that Shen Rongzhou couldn't invite to the banquet, he gave them a pack of cigarettes.

Then Shen Rongzhou had to pick up Chen Manyu's family.

Shen Yangyang finished her math test under the watchful eyes of Shen Qingqing and Chen Man, and then they reviewed it together.

After Shen Qingqing said "okay," he cheered and rushed out of the room to watch TV.

Shen Qingqing was about to ask Chen Man if she wanted to go to the room to play on the computer when a very strong aroma wafted out from the kitchen.

"It smells so good!" Chen Man's eyes lit up.

Shen Qingqing changed her mind, "Should we go take a look?"

Chen Man immediately looked at her, "Is it okay? Won't it disturb Auntie and Auntie while they're cooking?"

“Let’s just stand here and watch,” Shen Qingqing said with great experience.

“Let’s go!” Chen Man agreed immediately.

Once inside the kitchen, they realized that the overpowering aroma they had just smelled was from Li Yuxing frying garlic oil.

Several plates of prepared steamed seafood, such as garlic scallops and garlic mantis shrimp, were already laid out on the table, just waiting for Li Yuxing's garlic oil and sauce to arrive.

Other dishes include braised goose, blood clams, braised prawns, stir-fried crab, pork tripe and pickled cabbage soup, poached chicken, and sweet soup with fox nuts and white fungus...

Li Xunli divided each dish into two plates and served them to the two tables.

When Shen Rongzhou and his men arrived, it was just as Li Yuxing was finishing her last dish of stir-fried vegetables.

Men sit at one table, and women and children sit at another.

As soon as the banquet began, the crisp sound of toasts could be heard from the groom's table, along with words of congratulations on moving to a new home.

See you tomorrow night~
