Speaking of this topic, Qu Shuyun and Xu Annan also fell silent.

Isn't it the same for them too?

When Jianshu hurried out to greet them, she saw her father being surrounded by several people, being lifted up and thrown into the sky. She was startled, fearing that the others would fail to catch him and throw her father to the ground.

It was Meng Ying who saw her first and waved at her.

Jian Shu quickly leaned over, calling everyone "Auntie" and "Sister-in-Law." They were all familiar faces. Meng Ying, of course, was a familiar face. Xu Annan had met her frequently in Beijing, and she'd even eaten at their home many times. Even Qu Shuyun had met her once before, at a wedding.

"Don't worry about your uncle and the others. Let them freeze outside. Let's go in first. Although you've finished your confinement, you still need to pay more attention to yourself on a daily basis." Meng Ying took Jian Shu's hand and felt the temperature. She felt relieved only after confirming that it was warm.

Xu Annan, who was standing by, also spoke up, "Right, forget about them. Let's go inside first. I haven't seen Xiao Yiyi yet. All along the way, I've only heard Ah Ying talk about how pretty and adorable the child is. I'm so envious. Let me see him quickly."

Speaking of the newborn baby, Qu Shuyun also became interested and said with a smile: "Shushu and Mingjing are both good-looking, so the child they have will definitely be good-looking."

After the elders said this, Jianshu glanced at her father and confirmed that there was nothing wrong except that he was a little excited, so she took the ladies into the house.

As soon as they entered the house, they were greeted by the strong smell of barbecue, which made those who had not yet eaten salivate.

Jianshu hurriedly instructed Gu Mingjing to go to the back to get a few more plates and pairs of chopsticks, and then move chairs for a few people.

"Aunt, auntie, you all should hurry up and sit down. You must be hungry after sitting in the car for so long. My family is having a barbecue today. Eat something to fill your stomach first. I'll go prepare a few dishes later so that we can all have fun together."

Xu Annan smiled when he saw it, "It's better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early. It seems that we came at the right time. We can eat meat as soon as we arrive."

"I should have called you in advance, but your uncle Wei insisted on giving your dad a surprise. He didn't let anyone know and just came here secretly." Qu Shuyun explained helplessly to Jianshu.

These men, sometimes I really don't know how old they are, they are so childish. The key is that it's not just one person doing this, others also support it.

Jian Shu certainly had no objection to this. "Aunt, you're all welcome to come anytime, and..." She pouted, "Just look at my dad's expression and you'll know. He really likes this surprise."

Her teasing words soon caused everyone to burst into laughter.

Just then, Gu Mingjing's bowls and chopsticks arrived, and Jian Shu quickly arranged for everyone to sit down. "Everyone, please sit down and eat. Today's dishes are all decorated with my special seasoning. Come and see if they suit your taste."

After saying that, he took away the half-empty plate, handed it to Gu Mingjing, and whispered to him to cut some more meat.

Originally, she and her father just had a small treat at home for fun, so they didn't prepare much. Now there are seven or eight more people, and if they don't prepare more, there won't be enough to eat.

"Don't be in a hurry. Let's wait until they come in. Let's go see the children first." Xu Annan smiled and shook his head, and Qu Shuyun also agreed.

Jian Shu persuaded them a few more times, and seeing that they insisted, he took them to see the child. "Yi Yi is sleeping in the room. I didn't bring her out before because I was afraid of disturbing her."

This was a lie. In fact, she was worried that the little greedy cat would be woken up by the smell of meat and would start clamoring for food again. In order not to interrupt his leisurely afternoon tea time, she threw him on the bed and went to sleep.

A few people went into the room to see the children, while a few grown men outside were still reminiscing about the past, as if they were unaffected by the cold or heat, and no one thought of going into the house.

After Wei Zhou hugged Jian Yucheng, Gu Zhan hugged him, then Qian Wenhan, and finally even Zhao Mingze, who had already met Jian Yucheng, was infected by the emotion and cried while hugging Jian Yucheng.

Several grown men hugged each other and cried bitterly. It was a scene... Fortunately, the house was remote, otherwise it would have attracted the attention of others.

After crying and releasing all my emotions, I finally remembered that it was time to go into the house.

"Alright, hurry up and get inside. Aren't you cold outside?" Jian Yucheng pointed at the marks on his body and joked, "It's been a few years since we last met. How come you've all turned into tears? Look at how you've messed up my clothes. Let me in and change."

"Bullshit, you're talking as if you weren't the one crying just now. I'm going to wipe the tears on you anyway." After saying that, Wei Zhou grabbed Jian Yucheng's sleeve and wiped it roughly on his face. After that, he looked at him provocatively.

Jian Yucheng glanced at his sleeves, then raised his leg and kicked him in the thigh, "How old are you? You're still acting like a child, doing things you're not allowed to do. Look at your old face, aren't you ashamed?"

"What do you mean by 'old face'? I'm a few years younger than you. If this is an old face, then what is yours? Orange peel?" Wei Zhou dodged and then ran into the house while retorting, "I'm not going to talk to you anymore. I'm going to see my granddaughter!"

"That's my granddaughter. What does it have to do with you? Don't try to snatch my daughter from me." Jian Yucheng waved behind him and chased into the house.

Zhao Mingze, Qian Wenhan and Gu Zhan, who were lagging behind, watched the two people fighting and laughing as they stood aside, pointing and watching the fun. From time to time, they would deliberately stir up trouble and enjoy the fun.

Now the two of them went in and were ready to follow.

Unexpectedly, Gu Zhan was one step ahead and said, "I'm going to see my granddaughter too." Then he hurried inside.

Zhao Mingze and Qian Wenhan behind them paused, looked at each other, and saw the dissatisfaction in each other's eyes.

"This old guy is just showing off!" Zhao Mingze gritted his teeth.

Qian Wenhan also shared the same hatred and said, "That's right, he must be walking so fast because he's afraid of being beaten up by us."

"It really hurts him. If it weren't for me, his son wouldn't have been able to marry Shushu?" Zhao Mingze was irritated and became more and more unhappy the more he thought about it. If he had known this, he would not have arranged a blind date for Shushu.

"That old fellow got lucky!"

With just one sentence, Gu Zhan successfully offended the two people, who started pointing fingers at him from behind.

But he didn't care at all. At that moment, he was hugging his chubby granddaughter whom he had just met and was very happy. His serious face was smiling like a flower.

Gu Mingjing, who happened to see this when the goods were delivered, couldn't help but feel sad.
