"Ah ah, don’t be so polite, the old man just came to see Chen, and the newborn twins. The old man really just came to share the good fortune—"
"Commander, your visit truly brings light to this humble dwelling!" On hearing ’good fortune’, Xie Tiesheng greeted him with a smile all over his face.
Recently, Mr. Xie learned to use the expression ’brings light to this humble dwelling’ from an old scholar at the hospital.
"Grandpa, the babies are still sleeping upstairs, I’ll ask Aunt Jiang to bring them down," Yan Jinsu said, giving Jiang Xiaoying a meaningful look.
Previously, when the Yan Family visited, she had also moved the children downstairs for the Yan Family to see for a while to avoid any awkwardness.
However, as the infants were only about a month old, she let the children out in the sunlight for just about ten minutes before moving them back to the room.
"Good, good, the old man has never seen twins of a dragon and phoenix before in his lifetime." If it weren’t for his age, he might still be fighting on the front lines, with no time to visit babies...
Really old, truly old.
Liu Aimin’s expression dropped momentarily as Jiang Xiaoying left, but with Yan Xiqing there, and both being old comrades of the same rank, once they began talking, there was no end in sight.
People who have fought are always hearty.
Even the old man, though short of breath when speaking, achieved his purpose through facial expressions.
Elder Mr. Yan and Mr. Liu always spoke loudly, but after a few seconds of silence, only memories of the hardships of past years could be heard between the two old men in the Xie Family’s small courtyard.
From time to time, Xie Tiesheng could join in the fun, catching up with a few sentences, but most of the time, the visit from the Yan Family turned into a long catch-up session between Elder Yan and Elder Liu.
Seeing it like this, Zhou Xiuhua promptly took her daughter to the kitchen to prepare a good lunch.
At this moment, the place was indeed a bit crowded, Zhou Xiuhua noticed that the elders each had brought a bodyguard, which meant two more people to feed, plus Yan Dongsheng and his wife, the three Yan brothers, along with their own family members, just the adults numbered over ten—so much food for so many people surely needed early preparation.
Luckily, the Yan Family had informed Xie Jingchen beforehand about their visit, so today, Zhou Xiuhua had prepared a large amount of groceries when she went to buy vegetables and meat.
Her own son was a soldier, and Zhou Xiuhua very well understood, a single soldier’s appetite equates to that of three ordinary men!
At this moment, Qi Chunlan was just quietly hiding behind Yan Dongsheng, a bit shy and avoiding Liu Aimin with his commanding presence, her three sons by her side giving her much comfort.
Yan Jinsu sat by the side, her face bearing a faint smile, hosting everyone without appearing too detached or overly enthusiastic, fulfilling the host’s duties decently.
Seeing Yan Jinsu behave this way, the three Yan brothers and Yan Dongsheng all looked disappointed.
But they also understood; their daughter/sister [or sister] was not a simple and naive village girl.
