Looking at the solemn and dignified ancestral hall, Yan Zheng helped Yan Aiguo step by step into it, while Yan Daqiang stood by the ancestral tablets and lit incense and candles.
Yan Zheng first handed the sandalwood incense to Yan Aiguo, and then took three sticks of sandalwood incense himself, and respectfully knelt down and kowtowed.
The first incense stick is offered to pray for the ancestors to bless the Yan family descendants, especially Yan Xiaonan, and to pray for the ancestors to protect Nannan's safety and health.
The second incense stick is a prayer for himself and Yan Ge to make further progress.
The third incense stick is offered to the ancestors, begging them to forgive their unfaithful, unfilial, and shameless parents.
Yan Aiguo also devoutly held three incense sticks, kowtowed to his ancestors, and thanked the Yan family for having a Yan Xiaonan.
I bow again, begging my ancestors to grant the Yan family prosperity and lasting peace.
I kowtowed three times, begging my ancestors to grant my grandmother, parents, and family members good health and all the best.
He lit sandalwood incense and bowed several times, watching the smoke rise gently into the air, before turning around and leaving the ancestral hall with peace of mind.
As soon as Yan Aidang returned to the Intermediate People's Court, he saw Xue Ying holding a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes and breastfeeding.
He glanced at Hua Meili, who of course understood Yan Aiguo's meaning, and shrugged helplessly; she had no milk.
Fortunately, Yan Xiaonan gave her several kinds of baby formula so that the child could try them and choose whichever one he liked.
Little did we know that this little guy wasn't picky at all; as long as it was milk, he would gulp it down with relish.
Although Yan Aiguo did not have the memory of the space, he knew that Nan Nan had a magic treasure containing countless good things.
My son is lucky to be able to eat the formula from Nan Nan's magic treasure.
"Can I have a sip of this?" Yan Aiguo asked, pointing to the baby bottle.
Everyone stared at him, dumbfounded. Had Yan Aiguo gone mad? He was even trying to steal his own son's food rations.
Yan Xiaonan laughed and turned to go into the kitchen. She made a cup of baby formula for Yan Aiguo and also made a cup for Grandma Yan.
Grandma Yan initially refused, but seeing Yan Aiguo smacking his lips as he drank, she couldn't help but take a sip herself.
Mmm, it's delicious. A milky sweetness fills my taste buds. No wonder this kid loves it so much.
Before the baby could even finish drinking from the bottle, Yan Aiguo had already put down the cup and licked his lips.
Hua Meili looked extremely embarrassed. She patted Yan Aiguo, which happened to hit his chest.
Yan Aiguo cried out "Ouch!" and clutched his chest, his face turning pale instantly. Damn, it hurt so much.
"Commander" Baoguo panicked and rushed over.
Yan Aiguo shook his head hurriedly, but Hua Meili was already terrified and stood up abruptly, asking repeatedly what was wrong.
Bao Guo pointed to Yan Aiguo's chest: "He was hit by a stray bullet."
"What!" Grandma Yan also stood up nervously.
Yan Xiaonan quickly helped Grandma Yan up and whispered in her ear, "Grandma, it's alright, I can see, she's almost better."
Hearing Yan Xiaonan's words, Grandma Yan finally felt relieved. Xue Ying was unable to get up because she was holding her baby and breastfeeding.
But the panic in her eyes was still very obvious, and Yan Xiaonan's mountain god aura spread towards Yan Aiguo and Xue Ying.
The gentle warmth dispelled Yan Aiguo's pain, eased Xue Ying's anxiety, and even relaxed the nursing infant.
Fortunately, there is Yan Xiaonan in the family, otherwise Yan Aiguo would not have been able to come back. However, Nannan's skills have become even more profound, Xue Ying sighed.
A symphony of pots and pans clattered from the front yard. Cuihua ran over and said happily, "Time for family reunion dinner!"
The baby had just finished the last sip of milk when Xue Ying picked him up and gently patted his back until he burped.
The group slowly walked towards the front yard, where Ye Ren, Fu Qingping, Ye Huili, and Ye Huiguo were sitting at the main table.
Ye Ren quickly invited Grandma Yan, Shen Mingtian, and Hua Zhenguo to sit down together. He also invited Yan Xiaonan and Ye Chenming over, as well as Tian Ruyu and Enming.
Cuihua, Sheng Lijuan, and Xue Ying, along with their daughter-in-law and granddaughter, sat in a circle.
Yan Ran originally wanted to sit with Yu Shu, but Yu Shu was sitting at the main table, so she didn't dare to squeeze in.
Fortunately, Fu Bao pulled her to sit next to Xue Mei, and upon seeing this, Shen Shaohua quickly sat on the other side of Xue Mei.
Liu Lili, with Yan Bao'er by her side, could only sit next to Shen Shaohua, looking at Shen Shaohua's big belly with some envy.
"Shaohua, do you know if your baby is a boy or a girl?" Liu Lili asked.
Shen Shaohua gently stroked his belly and said with a smile, "I don't know if it's a girl or a boy. Whether it's a boy or a girl, I'll love it."
Liu Lili nodded. It was a pity she didn't have any more quotas, otherwise she would have given birth to another son for Southwest.
Yan Ran didn't know why, but he had always disliked Liu Lili. However, after Yu Shu talked to him about it so much, he was able to tolerate it.
She looked around and saw that Ye Chen'er was still in the kitchen, so she quickly ran over and pulled her over.
Yan Daqiang, Yan Xiaoqiang, Xi Nanbei, Nandong, Aiguo, and Aidang sat together, while Baoguo stared intently at Yan Aiguo, saying that they couldn't eat "heaty" foods or foods with certain colors.
When Ye Ren raised his glass, inviting everyone to drink together, Yan Aiguo had just raised his glass, ready to down it in one gulp.
Unexpectedly, Baoguo snatched the wine cup from his hand and placed it in front of Liujin.
Then I handed him a glass of cold water, indicating that if he wanted to drink, he should drink this, and that he shouldn't even think about alcohol.
Seeing Yan Aiguo's embarrassed expression, wanting to get angry but helpless against Baoguo, everyone burst into laughter and downed their drinks in one gulp.
Yan Xiaonan took out the ice wine that Bei Nan had sent back and placed it in front of Yan Aiguo: "You can only drink a small glass."
The slender, tall wine bottle looked exceptionally exquisite and beautiful. Yan Aiguo held the ice wine, too reluctant to open it.
"I want one too!" Hua Meili's eyes lit up, and she quickly stood up and said.
Yan Xiaonan didn't neglect one thing for another, so she placed two bottles on each table.
Hua Meili picked up a bottle without hesitation and placed it in front of her, saying, "I'm taking this bottle home. Don't look at me, I'll give you extra New Year's money."
When everyone heard that Hua Meili was going to give them New Year's money, they laughed and didn't argue with her.
Hua Meili readily agreed, pulling a large bag of red envelopes from her pocket and handing it to Yan Ran: "You're the boss, right? Here's the money."
Yan Ran glanced at Liu Jin. Liu Jin was the boss, wasn't she? But Liu Jin shook her head, indicating that she was the female boss.
Yan Ran handed out red envelopes one by one, even the baby in Xue Ying's arms received one.
Everyone opened the red envelopes and took a look; each one contained two 100-yuan bills. This red envelope was quite large.
Grandma Yan looked at the large bills in her hand. Since 1988, Grandma Yan had been receiving fifty and one hundred yuan bills from her children.
She still remembers the first time she saw a hundred-yuan bill, she thought history was going backwards again.
