The three squad leaders immediately took the luggage from Qian Feng, Qian Yu, and the people behind them.
Ling Yun greeted the group, as she and Qian Feng had lived in Beian Village for a while and had interacted with them.
The squad leader smiled and said, "Qian Feng, this is your son."
Qian Feng smiled and nodded, saying, "This is my son, Qian Yixuan." Then he said to Qian Yixuan, "Son, say hello to your uncles!"
Qian Yixuan was quite accommodating. He turned his head in Ling Yun's arms, grinned at the squad leaders, and then drooled.
This fair-skinned little baby's smile is so different from the other children in the village that even the grown men want to hug him and comfort him!
When the second team leader saw Qian Yixuan's chubby face, he smiled and said, "Qian Feng, your son looks quite like you when you were a child."
Qian Feng laughed and said, "Of course, my son has to look like me, but he looks mostly like his mother."
Commander Ling and his mother followed behind Qian Feng and the others, watching them chat. They felt that the villagers were quite simple and honest, and there were none of the unruly, uncivilized, or sordid things they had imagined.
Qian Feng smiled and introduced them to everyone: "These are my father-in-law and mother-in-law!"
The squad leaders immediately greeted each other.
Commander Ling was a little unaccustomed to hearing Qian Feng introduce himself this way. Back in Guangdong Province, Qian Feng always introduced himself as his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
Watching Qian Feng and Qian Yu chat with the people here, Ling's mother couldn't reconcile this with her son-in-law's strict self-discipline in the army. However, she was still satisfied with Qian Feng as her son-in-law. His respect for her and Lao Ling, his love for his wife, and his protection of his children were all very good.
Qian Shenggang walked out of the brigade headquarters, his hands behind his back, slowly heading home. Just as he turned a corner, he saw a few people ahead. He was about to call out to them when he suddenly saw Qian Yu's face, and his eyes immediately welled up with tears.
This kid's been gone for so many years and only just came back. Doesn't he know I missed him? Ugh, who missed him? You brat, not coming back for so many years, humph, you're asking for a beating!
As a special forces soldier, Qian Yu keenly sensed that someone was looking at him, and with a hint of malice. He turned his head and saw an old man with his hands behind his back looking at him with a "you're asking for a beating" expression. Qian Yu immediately smiled broadly and turned around in a very standard manner.
Qian Feng sensed Qian Yu's change and turned around, seeing a hint of excitement on the old man's face.
Like Qian Yu, he turned around in a very standard manner, and the two brothers marched toward the old man. When they reached him, they both gave the old man a standard military salute.
Watching Qian Feng and Qian Yu march forward with such powerful strides, the third squad leader felt a surge of excitement, wishing he were ten years younger so he could join the army himself. It's true what they say, every man has a military complex.
The old man looked at the two young men standing in front of him and found them a bit of an eyesore. He reached out and pushed them aside, then walked through the middle to Ling Yun's side. He smiled kindly and said, "Eldest daughter-in-law, this is my eldest grandson?"
Ling Yun smiled and nodded, saying, "Father, this is Xuanxuan, Qian Yixuan."
The old man chuckled and said, "Oh dear, Grandpa's a bit dirty, so I can't carry you right now. I'll wash my hands and change my clothes when we get home before I carry you!"
Lingyun smiled and said, "Dad, these are my parents."
Qian Sheng's gaze shifted from Qian Yixuan to the imposing Commander Ling and the gentle and dignified mother beside Ling Yun. He smiled and said, "So you're in-laws! Come on, let's go home. We're having a happy occasion at home today."
Qian Feng and Qian Yu stood there, looking at their father's disgusted look as he brushed them aside, feeling as if they shouldn't be there at all. To their astonishment, they were once again pushed aside, where they saw Qian Sheng smiling and exchanging pleasantries with Commander Ling and his mother!
As they neared their home, Qian Feng and Qian Yu heard the old man shout in a booming voice, "What are you two standing there like idiots for? Don't you even know you're home? Don't tell anyone you're my sons when you go out in the future, you're too stupid!"
Qian Feng and Qian Yu exchanged a glance. Well, they were rejected!
When Commander Ling entered the courtyard, he saw a bustling scene, as if all the villagers had gathered there.
Ling's mother had never seen such a sight before. She and Commander Ling exchanged a glance, both puzzled. What was going on?
Qian Feng walked in, also startled. He saw Qian Xiang and went over to him, saying, "Brother Qian Xiang, what's going on?"
Upon seeing Qian Feng, Qian Xiang immediately exclaimed happily, "Qian Feng, you're back! That's wonderful! We're having a feast at home today!"
Qian Feng was a little confused. Looking at the busy house, he asked, "What's going on? Is the third brother getting married?"
Qian Xiang smiled and shook his head, saying, "No, it's just that our family has produced a college graduate, so my parents, second uncle, and second aunt are discussing throwing a banquet!"
Qian Feng was stunned. He hadn't even told his family about being admitted to military academy. How did they know? Could it be his second brother who told him? He turned to look at Qian Yu, who was completely bewildered. Uh, it didn't seem to be him. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so clueless!
Qian Sheng said with a smile, "Father-in-law, I didn't know you were coming. Please come inside; it's warm there."
He looked at Qian Duoduo, who was picking vegetables at the door, and said, "Old lady, come over here quickly. Your eldest brother, sister-in-law, and your sister-in-law's parents are all here. Take them to your second sister-in-law's place. It's quiet there. Come back later when it's time to eat!"
Qian Duoduo immediately stood up, wiped her hands, and walked over. She first greeted Ling Yun: "Sister-in-law, you're back. Is this my nephew?"
She smiled and clapped her hands at Qian Yixuan: "Xuanxuan, do you want your little auntie to hug you?"
Qian Yixuan looked at Qian Feng and Ling Yun, then smiled and stretched out her little arm to Qian Duoduo. Qian Duoduo immediately took it and said, "Sister-in-law, let's go to Second Sister-in-law's place first. I'll go and light a fire in your room later. It's been a while since anyone has lived there, and it's a bit cold."
Ling Yun nodded, turned around, and said, "Mom and Dad, let's go see the second son's little girl first." After saying that, he walked out first.
Qian Duoduo was also carrying the child, and Qian Feng and Qian Yu followed behind.
Their departure added another topic of conversation to the small courtyard. Unexpectedly, Qian Feng and Qian Yu, the family of the brigade leader, also returned today, bringing their child with them. This time, the brigade leader was practically floating in the aisle!
When Qian Mao and Secretary Lu walked in, Qian Sheng was even happier. Qian Feng's father-in-law was a division commander, a high-ranking official, but that was in the army. A local official is more powerful than a county official, and Secretary Lu was that local official. Qian Sheng immediately invited them into the house. The other village leaders and such were even happier to see Secretary Lu. Being able to show his face to the county party secretary was better than anything else!
