After comforting her granddaughter, Jin Jinxiu saw the aggrieved old man and couldn't help but smile. She walked over with a one-year-old girl in her arms and said, "Old man, why are you hiding so far away? Come and see, this is our granddaughter, Feifei."
Qian Sheng stepped forward and looked at the little girl who had just been crying her heart out. He wanted to reach out and touch the fair-skinned, delicate little girl, but when he saw her outstretched hand, he hesitated.
Seeing Qian Sheng's conflicted expression, Jin Jinxiu smiled and placed the child in his arms, saying, "You hold him, I'll go call the second son's wife."
She had just turned around when she saw Chen Runan walking over. She smiled and said, "Nanan, come here."
Chen Runan walked over with a smile and greeted him first: "Dad."
Qian Sheng tightened his grip on the child and quickly smiled, saying, "Good, good, it's good that you're back." Just then, he felt something soft press against his face, and he froze instantly. The last time something felt so soft was when his own daughter was this age; she was just as fragrant and soft when he held her.
His heart melted instantly, and his eyes reddened slightly.
Chen Runan was a little confused. Was her father-in-law really this sentimental? He could cry even while holding a child. Would he let her hold the baby or not?
Looking at Qian Sheng, Jin Jinxiu knew that after so many years of marriage, Qian Sheng was probably thinking about his daughter when she was a child. She was also very emotional. Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, her daughter has grown up!
When Qian Duoduo came out of the kitchen, she saw her father holding the child. To be honest, his posture was quite correct. No wonder he was a man who had raised five children.
She said with a smile, "Father, Mother, Second Sister-in-law, let's eat. I'll go call the four Fourth Sisters-in-law and Third Brother."
Qian Sheng carried the child and walked into the main room. As soon as he entered, he saw a large table set up in the center of the room. This large table was usually only used during the New Year. The table was set with dishes that could rival those served during the New Year. He said with a smile, "Ah, you've been gone for so long. Now that you're back, the house feels like it's New Year's."
Jin Jinxiu rolled her eyes at him and said, "Come on, Nannan, come over here." After saying that, she took Qian Yufei out of Qian Sheng's arms and put her on a relatively high stool to the side.
Qian Yufei seemed to have gotten used to it, sitting there obediently, and even though there were many delicious foods on the table, she didn't seem to be in a hurry.
Qian Sheng nodded repeatedly, saying, "This child is so well-behaved!"
Not long after, Qian Mao, Qian Rao, Wen Yugui, and Wen Yuzhu walked in: "Dad (Uncle Qian), you're back!"
Qian Sheng nodded and said, "Please sit down!"
Everyone found their places without hesitation. Qian Sheng said with a smile, "Why didn't you tell me you were coming back?"
Qian Rao said, "I was going to tell you, but things suddenly got chaotic in the city where my second brother lives. He only had time to buy us train tickets before he went on a mission. My sister-in-law's grandfather also said that the countryside is probably safer than the city now, especially since our area is quite remote. We'll come back and stay for a while until the turmoil in the city subsides, and then we'll talk about it!"
Upon hearing this, Qian Sheng turned to look at Qian Mao and saw that he simply nodded slightly. He then said, "I'm so glad you're back. You wouldn't believe it, it's always been so quiet and lonely here with just me and Duo Duo. Now that you're back, the house is so lively!"
Qian Duoduo said with a smile, "Mom, you don't know, Dad is fine when he's busy, but whenever he has a moment to spare, he asks me if Mom has written back!"
Jin Jinxiu smiled and glanced at her old man, saying, "Originally, I planned to come back after Nannan gave birth, but my fourth son's wife also found out she was pregnant, and the pregnancy wasn't going well, so we had to stay there. But it was a blessing in disguise, because my fourth son's wife met a good doctor at the hospital who helped her keep the pregnancy going, which allowed her to safely give birth to her grandson!"
Qian Sheng said, "Why didn't you send me any news after the baby was born?"
Qian Rao was taken aback: "I wrote a letter!"
Qian Sheng: "I didn't receive it!"
Qian Maoruo raised his hand and said, "I received the letter, but I've been too busy lately to come back, so I forgot about it!"
If it weren't for another meal, Qian Mao would have received a severe beating from his father—a beating with a shoe sole.
Qian Sheng looked at Qian Rao and asked, "What's your son's name?"
Wen Yugui smiled and said, "Dad, his name is Qian Yibo."
Qian Sheng nodded: "This name is good. I remember Duo Duo telling me about a phrase, 'learned and talented,' is it this 'Bo'?"
Wen Yugui looked at Qian Rao, who nodded and said, "This name was given by my second sister-in-law's grandfather, who hoped that this boy would be learned and talented when he grows up!"
Qian Sheng happily said, "Good, good!"
Qian Duoduo said with a smile, "Dad, let's eat first. Mom and my second sister-in-law just got back, they must be tired. Let them rest after we finish eating!"
Upon hearing this, Qian Sheng waved his hand and said, "Duoduo is right, let's eat." After saying that, he first picked up a piece of meat and put it into Jin Jinxiu's bowl, and then put the second piece of meat into his own bowl.
A hint of surprise flashed in Chen Runan's eyes at this scene, and then she thought of Qian Yu, who often did the same thing to her. So these things are hereditary!
After dinner, Qian Duoduo was assigned to keep her company with her second sister-in-law, Chen Runan. Chen Runan looked at the clean and tidy new brick house and said, "Duoduo, is this house newly built?"
