Chapter 36 Familiar People
Qin Wenlong laughed and scolded him: "You little brat, your grandfather is not deaf, there is no need to make such a loud noise."
Qin Wenlong waved to Lin Jianyan and looked at him with emotion, "Ah Yan, right? Come, come to Grandpa and let Grandpa take a good look at you."
"Grandpa." Lin Jianyan walked forward and held his big, weathered hands.
"Hey!" Qin Wenlong narrowed his eyes slightly, carefully looking at Lin Jianyan in front of him, his eyes full of love and complexity, "Resemblance! Really similar!"
The others looked at each other, puzzled by the old man's action.
"How old are you, kid?"
"Twenty."
Qin Wenlong heard the age and murmured in disappointment: "Twenty years old? That's not right. He should be 52 years old this year. His son shouldn't be that young, and his grandson is too old."
Lin Jianyan had an idea in her mind and couldn't help but want to confirm it, "Grandpa, who are you talking about?"
Qin Wenlong came back to his senses, smiled and took out an old photo from his inside pocket. He turned the photo towards Lin Jinyan, pointed at a young man with a simple smile, and sighed:
"I mean, one of my former comrades-in-arms really looks a lot like you. If it weren't for the age discrepancy, I would have thought you were his descendant."
Lin Jianyan looked at the photo, his pupils dilated, and he confirmed the guess in his mind.
Yes, he was the captain that Grandpa had told him about before, Qin Wenlong, who had saved his life twice! Grandpa had also shown him this photo, which was even older than the one he had now.
If the great grandfather is of the same generation as Old Man Qin, then Qin Wu is older than his parents now, so he has to call him uncle, right?
Lin Jianyan shuddered in his heart and shook his head quickly: It's too scary.
But this gave him another idea. Does this mean that this world is parallel to his world? Then maybe his family from his previous life are still doing well now.
Thinking of this, Lin Jianyan was shocked. If he had the chance in the future, he would definitely go back and take a look.
Qin Wenlong was unaware of the shock in his heart and was still recalling the past. "What a coincidence, his last name is also Lin, Lin Jianye. He was only fourteen years old when he joined my team, and he was the youngest member of our team."
"He's small but has a big temper. He didn't even know to dodge the shells. If I hadn't stopped him twice, the grass would be two meters high now."
He sighed and said, "He was only 18 when I left. I haven't seen him for more than 30 years. When I suddenly saw you today, I suddenly remembered the old man. Now that I look closely, you don't look much like him. People become presbyopic as they age."
Lin Jianyan opened his mouth to say something, but couldn't. He could only hold Qin Wenlong's hand tightly and look him in the eye. "Grandpa, good times have come. You will both be fine. Even if you are not in the same place, your thoughts for each other will be conveyed."
Qin Wenlong's heart was touched. Looking at Lin Jianyan's serious eyes, he felt comforted somehow. It was as if he saw that silly boy, calling him big brother and patting his shoulder to comfort him.
He suddenly felt happy and laughed: "Okay, okay, our Ah Yan is kind-hearted. So, you can recognize me as your godfather. Even if you break up with Xiao Hu in the future, you will still be my grandson."
"Grandpa!" Qin Wu shouted in dissatisfaction after hearing this: "Can you please hope for me! I have finally found someone I like after all these years, please don't break us up again!"
Qin Wenlong let out a "tsk" and suddenly felt that the two people were not very compatible.
Qin Wu ignored him and took Lin Jinyan's hand to introduce them to him, "This is my eldest uncle, you should know my eldest aunt. This is my fourth uncle and aunt, and my youngest aunt."
"My uncle is abroad now and can't come back for a while. My cousins haven't come yet. I'll introduce them to you when I have the chance."
Lin Jianyan smiled and followed Qin Wu in calling out to the elders. Several elders smiled happily and took out red envelopes from their pockets and stuffed them into his pockets.
At first, the red envelope looked particularly thin, so I thought there wasn't much inside. But when he squeezed it, he found it was hard. So I realized there was actually too much money inside, and it was all put in the bank card and given to him.
"This is too much. I can't take it."
Qin Shuting curled her red lips and waved her hand generously, "This is the Qin family's rule. Everyone who comes to our house will bring some expensive gifts. Later, it was too troublesome, so we just sent cards directly to save trouble."
"If you were a girl, there would be a bracelet. But we thought you might not like wearing jade bracelets, so we just discounted it. It's a thoughtful gesture from us, so don't refuse."
Seeing her say this, others also persuaded him to accept it, so Lin Jianyan did not refuse, "Then I will respectfully obey your command. Thank you all for your kindness."
Qin Chaowen liked his gentle attitude. "Look at Ah Yan, and then look at you. Look at how cultured he is. Now let's talk about your family. At the beginning, you just said thank you and that was it."
"Especially your younger sister. She had to find a foreigner at first. She couldn't even speak clearly. She kept saying thank you, thank you. It made my teeth ache."
Qin Shuting got angry when she heard him say that. "Fourth brother, why are you bringing up my matter again? It's been so many years."
"Our John can speak Chinese very well now! Besides, he has settled down in China after running business overseas! Don't call him a foreigner anymore!"
Seeing that they were quarreling again, the others changed positions one after another. Qin Wu rubbed Lin Jianyan's ear and explained to him: "Don't mind it, they have been like this since they were young."
Lin Jianyan chuckled and shook her head, "No, I just think they have a really good relationship."
Qin Wu smiled and said, "That's true. They have been quarreling since they were young and they are still quarreling now."
Lin Jianyan: "It's pretty good, but I feel that there is a big age difference between them, especially between the eldest uncle and the youngest aunt. The age difference seems to be quite big."
Qin Wu wanted to explain to him, but since this place wasn't a good place for a private conversation, he whispered, "I'll tell you when I have time."
Lin Jianyan nodded: "Okay. Let's go over there. Grandpa is calling us."
"good."
Qin Wenlong waved to Lin Jianyan, asking him to come over here, and held his hand lovingly, "Ayan, come here."
When Lin Jianyan walked up to him, he held her hand and she felt something cool and slippery stuffed into her palm.
"What is this?" Lin Jianyan opened his hand and found that it was a jade pendant that was half purple.
"This dragon and phoenix jade pendant was obtained by Xiaohu's parents for him. Half of the dragon is in his hands, and the other half of the phoenix is for you."
"Here, can you give it to me now? If we break up in the future..."
Qin Wenlong patted his hands and glared at him, "Why are you talking about breaking up now? We can talk about the future later. You are Xiaohu's chosen partner now, and this half of the jade pendant should be yours."
"I know Qin Wu well. He is stubborn and possessive. He will never change his mind. I can see that you are a good kid. You two will definitely live happily together for the rest of your lives."
