But when he saw the child, his eyes lit up, and he reached out to hug him: "This child looks much more energetic, and his complexion is better too?"
Xue Ying glanced at Yan Xiaonan, and Xue Honggen immediately understood. It turned out that it was the little girl's doing.
When Hua Meili gave birth to this child, Xue Honggen came down the mountain to visit her once.
At that time, the child not only had severe jaundice, but also obvious weakness.
Xue Honggen sighed inwardly. After all, his parents were getting old, and it was already difficult for them to have a child. Now, he just hoped that the child could be raised.
Unexpectedly, once the child was in Nan Nan's care, he recovered his health so quickly. She truly is a person with superpowers; she is an invaluable resource.
"Let's name this child Huaqiang, hoping he will grow up strong and powerful," Xue Honggen said.
Yan Xiaonan was taken aback for a moment, and Xue Ying quickly explained that Yan Aiguo said the Yan family was not lacking in descendants, but the Hua family only had one daughter, Hua Meili, so in order to continue the Hua family bloodline, this child took her mother's surname.
"Does Hua Zhenguo know?" Xue Honggen asked.
Hua Meili smiled and said, "Grandpa, my dad doesn't know. We'll tell him when we register the household registration."
Xue Honggen smiled. The Hua family finally had an heir. This guy really benefited from the Yan family's many children and grandchildren.
Xue Ying also laughed and said, "If Nan Nan hadn't given birth to three children, I would have let Chen'er choose one of them to have the surname Ye."
Yan Xiaonan glanced at Xue Ying. What a wonderful aunt! No, what a wonderful mother-in-law!
The group didn't stay on the mountain for long before coming down. There were many people coming to visit the Ye family today, and Yan Xiaonan, as the matriarch of the family, couldn't be absent.
Grandma Yan never expected that the first people to come to her door would be Village Chief Ma and Sister-in-law Ma from Mushroom Village, followed by Ma Mingyuan, Ma Mingchun, and Ma Minghua, as well as their wives and sons-in-law.
"Sister-in-law Yan, you look so energetic! You don't look a day older!" Village Chief Ma said excitedly, holding Grandma Yan's hands in both.
"Ah, Village Chief Ma, Village Chief's wife, what brings you all here? You're such rare guests! Please sit down, please sit down. Cuihua, Cuihua, pour some tea," Grandma Yan said, rubbing her eyes.
Everyone sat down. Mrs. Ma looked at the magnificent house and the unfamiliar furniture and appliances, her eyes wide with amazement.
"Cuihua, you really live a life of luxury. How do you manage to live in such a big house?"
"Sister-in-law, I have a lot of family members. My grandmother has many sons." Cuihua smiled and handed over a cup of ginseng and wolfberry soup.
When Ma Da Sao lifted the tea lid, she was startled: "Oh dear, Cuihua, how could you serve ginseng to your guests? It's too precious."
Grandma Yan quickly waved her hand and said, "You are honored guests, I never expected this."
Southwest quickly apologized, saying, "Last year, Uncle Village Chief said he was coming to the capital for the New Year, but I forgot to tell Grandma."
Actually, Southwest doesn't dare to say it, but Grandma is definitely looking forward to seeing the villagers of Mushroom Village. But what if Village Chief Ma doesn't come? Wouldn't Grandma have waited a whole year for nothing?
So the best approach is to keep quiet. Even if she does come, giving her a surprise would be nice.
"Cuihua, where's Nannan?" Sister-in-law Ma asked.
"They've gone to visit the leaders, they'll be back soon." Cuihua ran in and out, bringing them some good food.
Grandma Yan then took out red envelopes and handed them to the five children. Ma Mingyuan had two sons, Ma Mingchun had a boy and a girl, and Ma Minghua had a girl.
When Village Chief Ma saw this, he also wanted to give a red envelope, but Grandma Yan refused: "You only have five children, but I have many more. Don't bother giving me one."
But Village Chief Ma was unwilling. Mushroom Village had now become an eco-village, with plenty of ways to make money.
"No, I still want to meet the child."
Yan Xiaoqiang didn't waste any time and called all the children out to introduce them to Village Chief Ma: "Let me first introduce Nan Nan's children, Tian Ru, Yu Shu, and En Ming."
Village Chief Ma, Sister-in-law Ma, and Ma Mingchun all widened their eyes and looked at it carefully.
You wouldn't believe it until you see it! Tianru is clearly exceptionally intelligent, Yushu is exquisitely beautiful, and Enming has an androgynous appearance and a quirky personality.
"Sister-in-law Yan, these children are truly outstanding! Nan Nan is remarkable!" Village Chief Ma exclaimed sincerely.
Mrs. Ma quickly presented a large red envelope. The three children looked at Grandma Yan, and only after Grandma Yan nodded did they take the red envelope and bow in gratitude.
"This is Ai Dang's daughter and son, Yan Ran and Yan Feng. You know the children from the southeast, Liu Jin and Fu Bao. The children from the southwest, Duo Duo and Bao Er. And the children from the north and south, Yan Li and the one in her belly." Grandma Yan said in one breath.
"Oh, and there's also Aiguo's son, who's only a month old. His mother took him to pay New Year's visits," Grandma Yan added.
“Grandma is truly blessed with many children. I want to live like her in the future,” Ma Minghua said.
Ma Da Sao rolled her eyes at Ma Minghua and said, "Your Yan family grandmother had three sons, how many do you have?"
Ma Minghua shrank her neck. Yes, how could she forget? She was an only child now, and there would never be so many children again.
“Beijing is really great. Our Mushroom Village is nice, but it can’t compare to big cities,” Ma Mingchun suddenly said.
“Then come to the capital! I have plenty of work for you to do here,” Bei Nan said, hooking her arm around Ma Mingchun’s neck.
“No way. I’m a village chief in Mushroom Village, but if I come here I’ll just be a laborer. I’m not going to do this kind of unprofitable business,” Ma Mingchun said, tilting his head.
Grandma Yan wholeheartedly agreed: "Yes, Chunzi is right. Don't listen to Beinan; that guy is wicked."
Everyone burst into laughter, and the atmosphere became noticeably more lively.
More people arrived; it turned out to be Dean Tan and his family coming to wish Ye Ren a Happy New Year.
Ye Ren led Dean Tan to wish Grandma Yan a Happy New Year again. Grandma Yan had completely forgotten about Dean Tan until Liu Jin reminded her.
Ma Minghua then realized that she had forgotten to tell her parents and brother that Liu Jin had filmed a TV series.
The Ma family was surprised to hear that Liu Jin had become an actor, but considering that he had been a natural actor since childhood, it was not surprising that he was now making TV shows.
Around noon, Yan Xiaonan and the others returned. Hua Meili went to the hospital to accompany Yan Aiguo, while Xue Ying, carrying the child, returned home with Nannan.
After everyone met, there was another lively atmosphere. Looking at Yan Xiaonan's unchanged appearance, Ma Da Sao sighed inwardly, thankful that she had been self-aware back then.
Otherwise, asking Nannan to be Mingchun's wife would really be a waste of that young girl's potential.
Although his own son was also good, one cannot turn a blind eye to others' shortcomings. Ma Mingchun was far inferior to Ye Chenming.
And compared to Ye Chenming's father, her own man would probably be relegated to some obscure corner.
