The woman at the door was taken aback when she saw a child open the door. Then she squatted down and said with a smile, "You must be Little Star. Are your grandparents home?"
Little Star was surprised and asked with her mouth agape, "How do you know my name?"
Looking at her adorable appearance, the woman couldn't help but laugh. "Did your uncle tell me?"
"My uncle? Who is my uncle?" Little Star scratched his head, looking very puzzled.
Because Jiang Weiguo only goes home to visit his family once every few years, the last time Xiaoxing saw him was three years ago.
She was young, and after so much time, she had long forgotten that she had an uncle.
When Jiang Weiguo came over carrying the things, he heard these words and was immediately amused and exasperated. He bent down and pinched Xiaoxing's cheek, "Xiaoxing, don't you remember me?"
Lin Wangshu, who was inside the house, waited a long time for Little Star to return. Instead, Little Star was chatting with someone at the door. Lin Wangshu called out, "Little Star, who is it? Why don't you come in?"
Little Star came running in, covering her face, and complained unhappily, "I don't know, he said he was my uncle, and he even pinched my face."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Jiang Weiguo walked in, holding a woman's hand. "Dad, Mom, I'm back."
An Jie was overjoyed and exclaimed, "Wei Guo, I thought you wouldn't be coming back today!"
Jiang Defu was happy to see his son come home, but he still scolded him with a stern face, "You haven't been home for so long, and the first thing you do when you come back is bully your little niece. That's not right!"
Jiang Weiguo chuckled, picked up Xiaoxing, and tapped her nose. "I didn't bully her. It's just that this little girl doesn't recognize her uncle."
Little Star covered her face shyly, shifted uncomfortably, and whispered "Dad" to Jiang Weidong.
Jiang Weidong smiled and took her, while Lin Wangshu teased, "You little ingrate, your favorite nesting doll was bought for you by your uncle."
Jiang Defu snorted, "It's not the child's fault. He only comes home once in a long time. I, as his father, have almost forgotten what he looks like."
As Jiang Defu grew older, he became less carefree than he had been in his youth, and he harbored great resentment towards Jiang Weiguo for not returning home for many years.
"Alright, let's stop talking about the kids." Anjie gave him a reproachful look.
At this moment, Ya Ning noticed the girl Jiang Weiguo had brought back, and, linking arms with Meng Tianzhu, said with a smile, "Big brother, aren't you going to introduce her to us?"
Jiang Weiguo slapped his forehead, put his arm around the shoulder of the person next to him, and solemnly introduced, "This is my fiancée, Jiang Hui."
Jiang Hui blushed slightly and bowed slightly to An Jie and Jiang Defu, saying, "Hello, Uncle and Aunt."
Looking at the poised and elegant Jiang Hui, An Jie was filled with fondness and quickly greeted them, "Hey, hello, Xiao Hui, come and sit down."
As she spoke, she nudged Yafei next to her, signaling her to give up her seat.
Yafei smiled secretly and whispered to Anjie, "Mom, it seems you really like this person's name this time."
Anjie patted her and whispered a warning: "Watch your mouth, don't talk nonsense later. It wasn't easy for your brother to find a wife, don't make him angry and leave."
Of her children, even the youngest, Ya Ning, is married, while the eldest, Jiang Weiguo, remains single.
Anjie was extremely worried. He had thought he would be alone for the rest of his life, but now he had suddenly brought his fiancée home. Of course, he had to be careful.
"You're really underestimating me. Do you think I don't know what I should and shouldn't say?" Yafei muttered in dissatisfaction.
Zheng Jianhua, ever observant, brought out two more sets of tableware from the kitchen, pulled Yafei to sit next to him, and said with a smile, "Sit next to me, I don't mind."
After dinner, Jiang Weiguo and Jiang Weidong chatted in the courtyard, while An Jie pulled Jiang Hui to sit on the sofa and subtly inquired about her family situation.
Jiang Hui answered every question and shyly revealed that her parents were very satisfied with Jiang Weiguo.
Seeing that Jiang Hui kept mentioning her older brother, Ya Ning knew that they had a good relationship. As a writer, she naturally wanted as much material as possible, so she asked curiously, "Sister-in-law, how did you and my older brother meet?"
Lin Wangshu and Yafei were also very curious. When Ya Ning asked first, they both looked at Jiang Hui with bright eyes.
When Jiang Hui heard her call her sister-in-law, her face turned even redder, but when she remembered her first encounter with Jiang Weiguo, a smile appeared on her lips.
"Actually, it's quite a cliché. I work as a nurse in a military hospital. Your older brother was injured and admitted to our hospital. The head nurse asked me to take care of him, and before long, we..."
Upon hearing this, An Jie was taken aback. "Wei Guo was injured and hospitalized? When did this happen? How come I didn't know?"
Jiang Hui was surprised that Jiang Weiguo had kept it a secret from his family, so she quickly explained, "It was about five or six years ago. It wasn't serious. He probably didn't tell you because he was afraid you would worry."
Upon hearing the time, An Jie immediately understood that it must have been the period when Jiang Weidong disappeared.
Thinking of this, she suppressed the bitterness in her heart and patted Jiang Hui's hand, "Child, it's all thanks to you for taking care of him back then."
Jiang Hui shook her head, smiled and said, "It's what I should do."
In fact, when Jiang Weiguo was injured, many nurses volunteered to take care of him. After all, he was good-looking, had a high military rank, and was a hero. Many girls blushed when they saw him.
Jiang Hui was no exception, but she lacked the qualifications and hadn't held out much hope. However, the head nurse unexpectedly chose her in the end.
Outside the courtyard, watching Xiao Taiyang sitting quietly in a chair playing with his airplane, Jiang Weiguo joked to Jiang Weidong, "You were such a mischievous kid when you were little, but I didn't expect your son to be so well-behaved."
Jiang Weidong sighed with worry, "I wish he were a little more mischievous. It would be even better if he could switch personalities with his sister."
Jiang Weiguo smiled dismissively, "Boys should just roll around in the mud with their friends. That's how we all grew up, wasn't it?"
"If that doesn't work, let him touch a gun. When a man touches a gun, his fighting spirit kicks in."
"What kind of idea is this?" Jiang Weidong rolled his eyes at him. "We're in the city, not on an island. Where are we going to find a mud pit for him to roll in?"
"And touching a gun? Do you remember when you were in the army? I never brought my sidearm home."
Jiang Weiguo shook his head and laughed, pointing at him and saying, "You're overprotecting him!"
Zheng Jianhua listened from the side, but smiled and offered a suggestion: "There are legal gun clubs abroad. I can have my friend take him to see them."
"Don't get involved, I'm afraid you'll scare him again," Jiang Weidong said to him irritably.
Meng Tianzhu suddenly spoke up: "Second brother, why don't you bring him to Songshan Island for a visit?"
