"Uncle, would you like to know how many children Uncle's family has?"
Needless to say, the second uncle Chen Dongxu mentioned, and the second brother Chen Changzheng mentioned, refer to Song Sanhe. Chen Dongxu knew how many children Song Sanhe had from his elder brother Chen Dongsheng.
How did you know that?
Upon hearing this, Chen Changzheng looked at Chen Dongxu with a smile in his eyes.
Old Master Chen also turned his gaze to Chen Dongxu.
"I heard it from my older brother."
Chen Dongxu answered crisply and decisively, but seeing the doubt in the eyes of Old Master Chen and Chen Changzheng, he couldn't help but explain:
“My older brother was lucky enough to survive a mission last year, thanks to the fact that he and his teammates met my cousin deep in the mountains…”
He recounted how Song Lan rescued her brother Chen Dongsheng, while also praising Song Lan's exceptional skills in helping Chen Dongsheng and his group capture the enemy.
Chen Dongxu recounted how he ensured the mission's successful completion in a vivid and detailed manner, leaving Old Master Chen and Chen Changzheng completely stunned.
Finally, Chen Dongxu said, "Grandpa, Uncle, everything I just said is absolutely true, not a single word is an exaggeration!"
He paused for a moment, then continued, "To express his gratitude, my older brother came to thank my cousin after he recovered from his injuries. He was with his boss and Brother Zhao that day. It was also on that day that my cousin offered to donate the formula for the effective medicine to the country free of charge."
However, my older brother's leader, representing our team and the country, spoke with my cousin about the prescription and naturally refused her offer to donate it free of charge.
Ultimately, my cousin didn't accept the large sum of money offered by my older brother's superior; instead, she accepted both a military enlistment slot and a permanent position at a machinery factory.
But my cousin also gave two more prescriptions to the team. Grandpa, Uncle, I'm not kidding you, I was quite moved when my older brother told me about this.
Almost without hesitation, she agreed to let her older brother take her to the machinery factory's staff hospital, where her cousin would treat her legs.
With an awkward chuckle, Chen Dongxu touched his nose and said, "I'm getting off-topic. What I really wanted to say was that my older brother came here during that trip."
I took some time to visit Grandpa Xiao's family in Shisong Village with Brother Zhao. We stayed at my second uncle's house and learned that he has three sons and one daughter.
One of them worked at the town's grain station, another used the enlistment quota, and the youngest cousin was in junior high school in town.
"That special hemostatic and anti-inflammatory prescription, and the prescription for strengthening muscles and bones, and... were all provided to the team by your cousin?"
Grandpa Chen came to his senses and confirmed with Chen Dongxu.
To be honest, the old master Chen heard about the prescription from Chen Changqing, but at that time, none of the three of them, including Chen Changqing and Chen Dongsheng, knew that Song Lan was related to them.
"Um."
Chen Dongxu nodded.
"Dad, it seems that my second brother's children are all of impeccable character and integrity. They truly are your grandchildren!"
Even though Chen Changzheng had not yet met Song Sanhe, his goodwill towards his long-lost second brother and his three nephews whom he had not yet met had increased considerably.
As for Song Lan, needless to say, I had a good impression of her the moment I saw her yesterday.
Through conversation, and considering Mrs. Chen's surgery today, Chen Changzheng genuinely likes his niece, Song Lan.
He had already planned it all out. When he got home and met his partner, he would definitely tell her about Song Lan and how outstanding his niece was!
"Uncle, my older brother and I are also from impeccable family backgrounds; we are Grandpa's good grandsons!"
Chen Dongxu's tone was a little sarcastic. Upon hearing this, Chen Changzheng laughed out loud and said, "Yes, yes, you and your older brother are both of impeccable lineage. You are indeed your grandfather's grandsons."
"That's more like it."
Chen Dongxu proudly raised his chin. He didn't think he and his brother were any worse than his cousins. Of course, compared to his cousin, no matter what his brother thought, he was far inferior.
After all, the most important thing in being a person is to have self-awareness.
Otherwise, you're bound to make a fool of yourself!
...
In the afternoon, just before leaving get off work, Song Lan went to Grandpa Chen's ward to ask him what he wanted to eat, so she could go home, make it, and have Qin Yanzheng bring it over.
"The food in the hospital cafeteria is pretty good, but don't overwork yourself since you're already heavy."
Old Master Chen refused outright, then turned his gaze to Qin Yanzheng. Indeed, Qin Yanzheng had come to pick up Song Lan, and now he and Song Lan had come to Old Master Chen's ward. However, after he entered the ward and greeted Old Master Chen, Chen Changzheng, and Chen Dongxu,
He was called aside by Chen Changzheng to talk, and when he noticed the old man's gaze, he couldn't help but turn his head to meet it.
The next moment, he heard Old Master Chen say, "Take good care of Lanlan. If anything happens to her or the baby in her belly, I, this old man, will never forgive you!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Yanzheng glanced at Song Lan with tender and doting eyes: "You can rest assured, Lanlan is my wife, and the child in her womb is mine. I will naturally take good care of her and the child."
You better keep your word!
Grandpa Chen snorted coldly, shifted his gaze back to Song Lan, and said, "Go home and rest quickly. With such a big belly, you have to be careful in everything you do."
Seeing that Song Lan was standing still, Grandpa Chen said with a loving yet helpless expression, "Go on, your uncles are here with me, so you can go home without worry!"
"Grandpa, you forgot to mention me! I'm at the hospital with you and Grandma too!"
Chen Dongxu cast a wronged and resentful look at Old Master Chen, thinking that Old Master Chen really had a precious granddaughter and no longer cared about his eldest grandson.
Old Master Chen gave him a disdainful look: "You can't even sit still like a monkey, I don't expect you to keep this old man company."
Chen Dongxu's face instantly turned bright red: "Grandpa, can you give me some face? I may be a bit restless, but I'm not so reckless as to think about jumping around while you're in the hospital."
Upon hearing this, Song Lan couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Although Chen Changzheng and Qin Yanzheng didn't actually laugh out loud, their lips twitched slightly, and their smiles were quite obvious.
"How old are you? You're so immature. You should learn from Lanlan in the future!"
Old Master Chen glanced at Chen Dongxu, his eyes still full of disdain.
"I'll learn, I'll learn! From now on, I'll study hard with Lanlan. Grandpa, can you please stop criticizing me? It's really hurting my pride!"
Chen Dongxu acted strangely and clown around.
Unsurprisingly, Old Master Chen's gaze toward him grew increasingly disdainful.
"Little sister! Little sister, did you see that? Grandpa only has eyes for you now, he doesn't even care about me, his eldest grandson anymore. I'm so pitiful!"
Chen Dongxu tried to gain sympathy from Song Lan.
"Are you sure you're not wronging Grandpa Chen? As the saying goes, 'Spare the rod and spoil the child.' Grandpa Chen's dislike for you stems from the fact that he cares about you. This also shows how deep his love for you is."
Upon hearing Song Lan's words, Chen Dongxu immediately covered his face and acted coy, "Sister Lanlan, your words make me feel so embarrassed!"
