But when everyone came out, they saw Gao Zuochang, the manager of Wanwu Winery, and an old gentleman following behind him.

"Where's An'an? You're lying, there's no An'an." Wu Tiao angrily jumped up and down.

An'an is the same; she's been gone for so long and hasn't even thought about coming back!

He doesn't treat him like a brother anymore!

Tian Guifen tapped her youngest son on the head and gently scolded him, "Do you think An'an is as free as you? Stop talking."

Especially in front of outsiders, how can you be so oblivious?

Shen Wanli apologized to Gao Zuochang: "Manager Gao, my youngest son is being unreasonable. He just misses An'an too much."

"I know, I know. The young master misses you all very much and will definitely come to see you before the New Year."

Gao Zuochang dared not call him by his name directly.

He smiled and cupped his hands in greeting, curiously observing everyone in the Shen family.

What is it about this family that makes the young master so attached to them?

"Quickly, Manager Gao, please come in. It's too cold outside." Shen Wanli invited them to warm up in the east wing.

We can't keep letting people talk in the snow forever, can we?

That would be extremely rude.

"Alright, alright, please, sir."

Gao Zuochang very modestly invited the old gentleman behind him to go first.

Shen Wanli and the others also hurriedly greeted him, but they didn't know what to call him, so they just vaguely followed Gao Zuochang and called him "Old Master".

Upon arriving at the east wing, Shen Tiantian nimbly served tea and water, behaving very appropriately.

"We don't have any good tea at home, so we're sorry to have to make do with this," Shen Wanli said politely.

"It's alright, a cup of hot water is the best thing to do in this freezing weather." Gao Zuochang was very kind and easy to talk to.

Actually, that's not the case. Gao Zuochang was only being kind to the Shen family.

"It would be best if you two didn't mind."

Shen Wanli wasn't really good at dealing with this kind of person.

Grandma Shen Liuliu came up with two bowls of fermented rice wine with eggs, looking up at the old man with a smile: "Grandpa, delicious!"

Children are the best at easing tensions when things get awkward.

The old man, who had been keeping a cold face and not saying a word, softened his expression when he saw Shen Liuliu. He reached out and beckoned to Shen Liuliu, "Come here, let me take your pulse."

Shen Liuliu: ...

The Shen family: ...

What's going on?

Do you take someone's pulse as soon as you see them?

Shen Liuliu was stunned for a moment, then immediately waddled over like a little penguin, stretched out her chubby little hand and said, "Okay, okay, thank you, Grandpa."

Unfortunately, she was wrapped up like a ball, making it quite difficult to show her wrists, so the old man had to give up.

However, the next moment, the old man rebuked Shen Wanli with displeasure: "Children have a lot of energy, and it's only the first snow. How could you dress her in so many clothes? Overheating her will make her more susceptible to illness. Don't you have any common sense?"

Shen Wanli was extremely embarrassed.

He was just worried that his precious daughter would get cold.

Oh dear! Gao Zuochang immediately became anxious. Why did this old gentleman start scolding people right away?

Brother, don't you know what you're here for?

Why are you putting on airs?

No, he'll have to write to the young master later and tell him that if the Shen family has any complaints, it has nothing to do with him.

"Sir, we..."

"Don't speak."

Gao Zuochang:......

The Shen family members were at a loss for words; why was this old man so eccentric?

Shen Liuliu, on the other hand, tilted her head and looked at the old man with great curiosity.

The old man wasn't exactly amiable, but his attitude towards Shen Liuliu was much better: "What are you looking at, doll?"

"Sir, you're so old, about the same age as my grandfather! How come you're so energetic and have such a straight back?"

She looked him over; he must be about the same age as her grandfather.

She looks to be in good condition.

If we knew how to maintain health, wouldn't we be able to make Grandpa look like this too?

"How old do I look to you?"

"Over sixty."

This surprised even Gao Zuochang.

You know, when he first saw the old man, he thought he was no more than fifty years old.

"Your baby has such good eyesight?" The old man was surprised that the baby had such good eyesight.

Shen Liuliu covered her mouth and chuckled secretly: "Because that's what my mother just told me."

She always blames her mother for everything; she didn't figure it out herself.

The old man just smiled and said, "I practice the Five Animal Frolics every day. You're a little chubby, baby. You can practice with me every day from now on."

I've gained weight...

Shen Liuliu immediately performed a Sichuan opera face-changing act, and then turned her head so that her backside was facing the old man.

No one can say she's fat.

"Haha, Liu Liu is such a cute child. Brother Wanli, this old gentleman is a senior doctor invited by my young master. He specializes in obstetrics and gynecology and is here to take care of your eldest daughter-in-law."

Gao Zuochang finally explained his purpose.

It turned out that An'an learned from the letter that Wang Xiuhe's pregnancy was very unstable and that she was carrying twins. The Shen family was very worried, so they specially sent this old gentleman over.

It can be said that with this old gentleman around, even if something unexpected were to happen, at the very least Wang Xiuhe's life could be saved.

"Oh my, really? An'an is such a thoughtful child. I really don't know how to thank her."

Shen Wanli stood up excitedly, rubbing his hands together, extremely thrilled.

The current situation of their eldest daughter-in-law is like a knife hanging over the hearts of the elderly couple, who are terrified that something unexpected might happen to her.

Not to mention the town, they even went to the city government to see doctors. The doctors all said they weren't very confident and that this pregnancy was extremely dangerous.

The elderly couple dared not tell their son and daughter-in-law, and were so worried that they couldn't sleep all day.

It can be said that the arrival of this old doctor solved their biggest worry.

"How dare you address the young master by his name?" the old man said, somewhat displeased.

These people are being quite rude.

Gao Zuochang's eyelids twitched, and he quickly said to the old man, "That's our young master, not the Shen family's young master. Our young master and the Shen family are genuinely friends."

Why are you meddling in this?

Even the young master didn't mind, but you're taking it personally.

The old man glanced at Gao Zuochang, gathered his courage, and ultimately said nothing more.

However, Shen Wanli was still a little embarrassed, as he didn't know how to address An'an for a moment.

“Brother, you don’t have to do that. Just do it the same way as before. Our old gentleman here is very capable, but he also has a very strange temper. Please forgive him, brother.”

"Not at all, our whole family is extremely grateful for such a thing."

How could Shen Wanli possibly have any complaints?

As long as his daughter-in-law and two grandchildren are safe, he will tolerate any temper, no matter how bad.

At the very least, no matter how eccentric his temper is, it's hard to find someone as difficult to please as his mother, right?

"Then please arrange accommodation for the old gentleman. I will come to pick him up after the baby is safely delivered."

"Okay, thank you."

...

Gao Zuochang left soon afterward. Upon hearing the news, the Shen family was overjoyed and expressed their gratitude to the old gentleman.

This made the old man blush.

Shen Liuliu covered her mouth and chuckled beside her.

The old man glared at her and commanded in a commanding tone, "Come with me tomorrow..."

"Wanli, I heard that a carriage from the city government came to your house? Is the distinguished guest still there?"

Suddenly, the village chief's excited shouts came from the courtyard.
