The conferment ceremony was still ongoing, and everyone was applauding enthusiastically, but undercurrents were already stirring within a small circle.
Until the conference ended, many people had hope written on their faces, believing that as long as they worked hard and were strong enough, good fortune would come their way.
Of course, a celebration banquet would be held in the evening. Although it was a small-scale event, those who were able to attend were certainly not to be underestimated.
Yan Aidang was so happy he was about to die. He was surrounded by a group of close friends and couldn't get away at all. Not only him, but even Xiao Liujin was being fought over and carried around.
In the end, Yan Ai could only agree to let his close friends attend the celebration banquet, but they could only sit on the very edge.
Those close friends nodded repeatedly; they would be happy even if they were just standing on the very edge, let alone sitting on it.
Little Liu Jin was terrified and kept crying and whimpering, asking for his mother.
Yan Ai Dang is really angry. His precious baby was scared to tears by you guys, so he picked up a stool and started hitting those who were trying to steal Xiao Liujin.
Unexpectedly, the little boy, who had just been whimpering and looking for his mother, suddenly burst into laughter, waving his arms and legs excitedly.
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. Could it be that this little Liu Jin is a little Tyrannosaurus Rex who likes to watch violence?
Yan Aidang was also startled. To confirm his idea, Yan Aidang repeated the action of smashing the stool.
Sure enough, the little girl laughed even louder this time, pointing at the stool and babbling to signal her father to smash it again.
Everyone's first reaction was to run. If they were injured or killed by someone else, they would get compensation, but if they were killed by the little tyrannosaurus, they would be cursed for deserving it.
From then on, Xiao Liujin had a new nickname, "Little Tyrannosaurus Rex." Yan Aidang decided to discuss the name of Little Tyrannosaurus Rex with his grandfather that evening.
Xiao Liujin's formal name was given by Xue Honggen, because he suddenly remembered that burning era, so he named Xiao Liujin Yan Ran.
Look at this "Ran" with the character for "fire" added; it's turned the girl into a burning Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Seeing Xue Honggen walk over with a radiant expression and raise his hand to hug the little girl, Yan Aidang quickly told him what had happened.
"Grandpa, how about changing your name, or dropping the 'fire' character? How about Yan Ran?"
Hearing about Xiao Liujin's performance, Xue Honggen laughed heartily and played a game of lifting her up high with her, making the little girl giggle with joy.
Children from military families don't need to be literary, so Yan Ran will be Yan Ran for life, with no possibility of change.
Seeing Yan Aidang looking like he'd lost his soul, Ye Chen'er shook her head and smiled. She was a doting mother after all.
"Love the Party, it seems that Xiao Liujin will be trained by his maternal grandfather to be a soldier in the future."
"What? That won't do." Yan Aidang's heart clenched. His older brother was probably gone, and his child couldn't be allowed to follow this path.
Ye Chen'er fell silent. She knew all too well that this choice was not up to Ai Dang, just as it was up to her grandfather, uncle, and Chen Ming.
Hu Dazhuang was determined to follow Yan Daqiang, so he not only came by himself, but also brought Hu Lijing and Hu Lisha with him.
His intention was clear: there were still outstanding individuals at this kind of celebration banquet, and if his two daughters could live up to his expectations, he would have a better chance of winning.
Hu Lijing and Hu Lisha were so excited they wanted to scream. The Beijing Club, that enchanting place!
By the way, what clothes should I wear to the club, what hairstyle should I have, and should I wear high heels or mid-heels?
I need to buy lipstick, I need to buy face powder, and perfume would be even better. Oh dear, I don't have enough money. I'll have to ask my dad for some.
Hu Dazhuang glared at him and said, "Why do you need money for a meal? Buying clothes? All those clothes in your closet are just for show. Why are you buying white powder? Can't you use the powder in the kitchen?"
The two sisters were at their wits' end, so they looked at their mother. Their mother shrugged and said, "Don't you know your father is a quota worker?"
The two went from excitement to disappointment, realizing that if they wore the clothes in the closet out, they would definitely be laughed at.
Hu Lisha wasn't in a hurry. Beijing University already had its own uniforms, so she would just wear hers and feel proud.
Hu Lijing regretted it. If it weren't for blocking the dowry, she could have worn the military uniform of the cultural troupe. But now, she could still wear it, since the insignia had already been handed over.
Hu Dazhuang saw Hu Lisha wearing a school uniform and nodded in satisfaction. A college student from Beijing University, that's a good enough identity.
When he saw Hu Lijing in her military uniform, his mind started racing, and his hand unconsciously reached for his belt, trying his best to restrain himself.
"You're trying to remind Yan Aidang of the bad things you did back then, aren't you?"
Hearing her father's sinister voice, Hu Lijing suddenly woke up and rushed to her room.
Hu Dazhuang quickly grabbed a change of clothes and ran out, his anger finally subsiding.
At this moment, Hu Lijing was glad that she liked buying clothes. The clothes she randomly chose were a gray woolen suit, which she bought at Yan Xiaonan's fashion store.
They got into the jeep and drove straight to the Beijing Club. Along the way, not only were the Hu sisters nervous, but Hu Dazhuang was also nervous.
There were many access cards at the entrance, and they were spaced out in sections, so the checks were very strict.
When Hu Dazhuang's identity was confirmed and he was allowed to leave, he broke out in a cold sweat.
Looking at the magnificent banquet hall, the Hu sisters felt like country bumpkins visiting the Grand View Garden.
The two knew their place and followed behind Hu Dazhuang without daring to run around. They followed the example of the others and casually picked up a cup filled with red drinks.
The long buffet-style counter was filled with all kinds of food, and the pastry chef even invented croissants.
Seeing the tempting food, the Hu sisters walked over without prior arrangement.
Hu Lijing suddenly lost her composure halfway through her walk, staring fiercely at the two people slowly approaching.
Yan Aidang and Ye Chen'er, dressed in matching suits and dresses "designed" by Yan Xiaonan, thanked the visiting guests.
Yan Aidang, dressed in a white suit, was elegant and courteous, making him very likable.
Dressed in a pink and white gown, Ye Chen'er was as beautiful as a flower. She held Yan Aidang's arm, and her every move was graceful and fluid.
Hu Dazhuang regretted not spending money to buy clothes for his two daughters. He realized that women looked so beautiful in formal dresses.
Yan Aidang saw Hu Dazhuang and his brows furrowed almost imperceptibly. Especially when he saw the two women behind him, he lost all interest in walking over.
If he didn't go over, Hu Dazhuang could have come over. Hu Dazhuang raised his wine glass and said, "Aidang, it's been a long time."
Yan Aidang could only adjust his facial expression and greet Hu Dazhuang with a smile.
Hu Lijing also took two steps forward, secretly stepped under Ye Chen'er's skirt, raised her glass to Yan Aidang, and said in a sweet voice, "Brother Aidang, it's been a long time."
