As they chatted, the three young and promising married men moved to the bar in the corner of the living room to enjoy drinks and conversation.
"Brother Yan, when are you planning to have a second child?"
Ji Huan, being an experienced man himself, could easily see the spring-like look on Yan Shao's face.
"As soon as possible!" Young Master Yan swirled the wine in his glass, looking quite confident.
None of the three people mentioned the matter of Zhu Qianying leaving back then.
Wise people are generally like this: they look forward to everything, and they use past mistakes to learn from experience rather than to repent or hinder their progress.
"Does Xiaoyu also come in pairs like Sihan?"
Yan Shao didn't want to talk much about his relationship with Zhu Qianying, but he was more concerned about his sister-in-law.
Ji Huan took a sip of wine and glanced at his brother Ji Yu. "Not many people are as lucky as my brother. Two at once, and both a son and a daughter. My sister doesn't have to suffer twice."
Ji Yu, with the air of a winner in life, handed a cup to Yan Shao, but spoke to his younger brother.
"Xiao Bao, you really can't have this kind of thing."
To be honest, Yan Shao is quite envious of someone like Young Master Ji, who has both a son and a daughter.
"Young Master Ji, don't think Ji Huan is envious, I am too."
Young Master Ji Yu handed the cup to Young Master Yan again, "Then work hard!"
Young Master Yan handed over a cup, "Definitely!"
Here, three young men are discussing children; there, three young women are also discussing children.
However, the three of them mostly talked about the baby in Zhu Qianyu's belly.
As the older sister, Zhu Qianying was naturally most concerned about her younger sister's condition during her pregnancy. Although she knew that with a thoughtful and meticulous mother-in-law like Letong, her younger sister would definitely be well taken care of.
"Sister, did your figure change drastically when you were pregnant with Zizai?"
Zhu Qianying looked at her younger sister carefully, "No, she's probably about the same as you are now!"
"That's right, but Mommy always says I don't eat enough, so I'm not growing tall. She also said that Sister Han was much taller than me back then."
Zhu Qianying couldn't help but laugh, "Silly girl, how can they be the same? You forgot, Sister Han is a twin!"
"Of course I know, I'm not stupid, it's just that Mommy keeps saying I'm not growing tall..." Xiaoyu herself felt quite wronged.
"Aunt Tong is just concerned about you. Don't worry, once the baby is about four months old, it won't be possible for you to stay slim!" Zhu Qianying comforted her sister with the words of someone who had been through it all.
The three families, totaling more than a dozen people, were divided into four smaller teams, and each team had a great time playing games, drinking, and chatting.
The kids got thirsty from playing and went back inside to get drinks. Zizai quietly walked up to Yan Shao and mysteriously tugged at his arm.
Yan Shao understood and bent down to get closer to him. "Baby, what's up?"
"Can I bring my older brother and sister to visit Uncle Ke Kai?"
Young Master Yan nodded immediately, "Of course, no problem! As long as Uncle Ji agrees!"
Zizai then walked up to Ji Yu, tilted his little face up, and asked in a childish voice, "Uncle Ji, can my older brother and sister stay for the night? Tomorrow, Zizai wants to go with my older brother and sister to watch Uncle Ke Kai wrestle and shoot!"
Ji Yu was very familiar with the affairs of the Yan and Tong families, and of course he also knew Ke Kai.
"Okay, that's a good idea! We'll stay here tonight, and Zizai can take his older brother and sister to see it tomorrow!"
And so, the Ji family, who originally planned to stay for most of the day, ended up spending the night at the Yan family's house because of the children.
The next day, the two fathers and Ji Huan, who was about to become a father, the three grown men accompanied the three children back to Tongjia Village.
Several elders and young women stayed at the Yan family home, chatting inside or strolling in the garden, quite content.
In the afternoon, the three men accompanied the three children back. The three children talked about the training ground in Tongjia Village with longing in their eyes.
As for Yan Shao, he had also come to look at the Ji brothers with new respect after spending most of the day with them.
"Young Master Ji, Ji Huan, I never knew you two were so skilled!"
Yan Shao himself knew from a young age that he would inherit the Tong family business in the future. In addition, he was born into a family like the Yan family. His grandfather also made him learn shooting and martial arts from a young age, so he developed excellent skills.
As for the two young masters of the Ji family, although they looked tall and imposing, Young Master Yan had always assumed they were just muscles and physiques from working out at the gym. But after sparring with them at the training ground today, he discovered that the two young masters of the Ji family were actually just as skilled as him.
Ji Huan smiled and said, "Actually, it's not just the two of us; my sister is just as skilled!"
Only then did Yan Shao realize that his previous views on the Ji family were ultimately too superficial.
Similarly, the Ji brothers also changed their opinion of Young Master Yan quite a bit on this day.
From then on, Yan Shao's relationship with the Ji brothers grew closer, but of course, that's another story.
The Ji family said goodbye and left on the afternoon of the third day of the Lunar New Year. After the whole family left, the Yan family suddenly seemed much quieter.
Not only was Zizai not used to it, but even Madam Yan, sitting on the sofa looking at the empty living room, couldn't help but sigh.
"Speaking of which, I really envy the Ji family. They have such a big family, it's so lively. Unlike us, we only have one son, Xiaohan, and Xiaohan only has one son, Zizai..."
Madam Yan's pointed words caused Yan Shao, Yan Bo, and Zizai to all turn their gazes toward Zhu Qianying.
Zhu Qianying felt a chill run down her spine as everyone stared at her.
Not wanting to become the target of everyone's criticism, Zhu Qianying quickly stood up. "Zizai, do you want some ice cream? Mommy will get it for you!"
Normally, she strictly controls the amount of sweets and frozen food the little guy eats, so this time she's feeding him on her own initiative, which clearly indicates that her motives are not pure.
"I want it! Can I have two flavors?"
As soon as the little guy heard there was ice cream, he immediately jumped off the sofa and ran after Zhu Qianying, following closely behind her, just like a star usually following its owner, shaking its head and wagging its tail.
"Mommy, can I have chocolate and strawberry flavors?"
In Zizai's bright eyes, there were two big "greedy" characters written on them!
"Sure!" Now, let alone two flavors, even ten flavors would be acceptable to Zhu Qianying.
Chen Jing went back to R City with Xiao Yu, saying she would take care of Xiao Yu for a few days. At this time, only Yan Bo and his wife and Yan Shao remained in the living room.
"Son, it seems you really need to work harder!" Old Madam Yan gestured with her chin toward Zhu Qianying's retreating figure.
"Mom, I know what I'm doing!" Yan Han remained confident throughout.
