Ye Mingchuan and Sang Yuan had lunch at home and officially set off on their journey home. However, they didn't expect to run into Shen Ping not long after they left the house.
"Uncle Shen"
Ye Mingchuan's expression was normal, but his tone was slightly tense, but very respectful, and his fingers unconsciously shrank.
"You are? Mingchuan?
"Ah, long time no see, Mingchuan. You're getting more and more handsome. Uncle Shen almost didn't recognize you."
………
Sang Yuan looked curiously at the two people in front of him who were chatting with each other. It seemed that Brother Chuan had never used this tone to speak to his family. Look at his nervous and respectful look, as if he was meeting his father-in-law.
They were all in a hurry and dispersed without saying a few words. Shen Ping rushed home to get the documents, and Ye Mingchuan and the others also rushed to catch the bus.
The two men strode forward, and Sang Yuan looked at Ye Mingchuan's profile teasingly.
"Why do you keep looking at me?"
Ye Mingchuan noticed it the first time. This was already the fourth time Sang Yuan had looked at him. He couldn't help but ask him.
"Brother Chuan, you were a little nervous when you were talking to Uncle Shen just now."
Sang Yuan didn't keep anyone in suspense and just said it directly.
Ye Mingchuan certainly knew how nervous he was, but he would definitely not admit it.
He said stubbornly: "Really? You are mistaken."
"Your fingers twitched unconsciously twice, your blinking frequency was faster than usual, and your speech speed was also faster than usual. Moreover, you were very respectful to the uncle you just mentioned. Am I right?"
Sang Yuan is known for his sharp eyes and he used to work in the reconnaissance company for a period of time.
Ye Mingchuan hadn't expected him to observe so carefully, so he simply went along with his words, half-jokingly saying, "That's our Captain Meng's father-in-law. Do you think I'm respecting him? If Captain Meng were here today, he'd definitely be much more nervous than I am."
"There's another layer of relationship? Was that Qingli's sister-in-law's father? Of course it's due, it's due."
Sang Yuan heard the joking meaning in his words, but he didn't expect that Uncle Shen was actually his sister-in-law's father and Meng Tuan's father-in-law.
I didn't expect they all knew each other. The world is really too small. Maybe they are from the same class circle. Sang Yuan thought so.
Thinking of what Meng Tuan had said some time ago about asking his mother to help take care of the child, he said to Ye Mingchuan again: "Brother Chuan, our leader's child seems to be about to be one month old. Should we show some appreciation when the time comes?"
Ye Mingchuan suppressed the sudden surge of sadness in his heart and smiled slightly:
"Now that we know, we must prepare for it."
What he didn't say was that he not only had to prepare, but he also had to prepare for it, after all, it was her child.

"Is it comfortable to take a bath? Is it comfortable? Can we give Niannian a bath every day?"
Aunt Liu was giving Meng Lian a bath and interacting with him, fearing that she would be frightened when seeing water for the first time.
Unexpectedly, the child enjoyed the activity so much that he kicked with great force, splashing water all over Shen Qingli, Ye Qiu and Aunt Zhang who were standing beside him. The old man was sitting on the side watching and was spared because he was far away.
"I was afraid they would be scared, but who knew they were so cheerful one after another, and their short legs didn't even feel tired." Shen Qingli held Meng Xihe while Aunt Zhang washed him.
Because it is a traditional large round basin, it does not have the curvature and bath mat of the later children's bath basins, so you can't lie down in it.
They are too small and have no body support, so one person has to hold them while the other washes them.
"Not short, not short. These two kids' legs are not short at all. Look at the upper and lower proportions. They are perfect. Oh!" Ye Qiu exclaimed.
What's going on?
Little Meng Lian peed and peed all over his grandmother's face...
Shen Qingli and the others nearby were laughing so hard they were almost breathless. The child was taking a bath, and Ye Qiu couldn't let go even though he was holding the child. He lowered his head and rubbed the urine off his face on the clothes on his shoulders.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay. Children's urine is good, it brings good luck and wards off evil spirits! You little thing, only you dare to do this. Even your father didn't dare to do this when he was a child."
Ye Qiu's words made everyone laugh again. Shen Qingli muttered in his heart: If he does this, won't he be spoiled in the future?
"Okay, just wash off the water the first time you see it, don't catch a cold."
Aunt Liu took the lead in picking up the package and took Meng Li'an over. Shen Qingli and the others beside her did the same.
You know what, these two siblings are already pretty and good-looking. They just took a bath and washed their hair, and were wrapped in a small sheet from head to toe, with only their little faces covered with water droplets showing. They are so pretty and adorable.
"They are completely different from when they were just born." Shen Qingli felt that the two children seemed to be getting more and more beautiful, and she didn't know if it was the filter of their biological mother.
"Children grow up quickly, and they change every day." Ye Qiu continued.
"These two children are really beautiful and good-looking. They will definitely be even more stunning when they grow up."
Mr. Meng was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. Such a beautiful baby must be his child! He was the great-grandson of Meng Dahai!
Oh, I can’t think about it. I’ll be so happy that I can’t stop smiling.
No, he needs someone to share his joy.
The old man slowly stood up and walked out
"I'm going for a walk."
Aunt Zhang waited until the old man walked away and lowered her voice, "Every day when I go to buy groceries, I hear from other families that they have heard from their respective masters that ever since our old man had a great-grandson, he always mentions him every day when he runs into them while taking a walk.
Those who have great-grandchildren are fine, but those who don't are all very upset when they go back."
Ye Qiu was fine. After being married for so many years, she had some understanding of the old man's arrogant personality.
Shen Qingli was quite surprised. He turned out to be such an old man, and quite cute at that.
Turn your attention to the old man.
I saw him walking slowly with his hands behind his back towards a place where there were many old men.
An old man saw him from a distance and muttered:
"Old Meng is here."
Another old man curled his lips:
"I'll bet you two dollars that he'll mention his twin great-grandchildren within three sentences of coming here. What do you think? Do you believe me? Do you want to take a gamble?"
Several people lowered their voices and muttered to each other.
"I'll guess five sentences."
"Five sentences? You really don't know Lao Meng well enough."
"Just three sentences. Just wait and see if you don't believe me."
"Stop talking, here it comes."
Mr. Meng stood beside them with his hands behind his back.
"What are you talking about?"
Mr. Lin smiled and said, "Let's chat about family matters."
He had the best relationship with the old man and even invited Mr. Meng to sit down and eat melon seeds together.
The old man was not polite and sat down in the empty seat and sighed:
"Hey, I'm going to sit down and rest for a bit. I just gave my child a bath and I'm so tired. You don't know, my great-grandson's urine suddenly came out very high! Oh, I have some melon seeds in my pocket, you can try them, my granddaughter-in-law fried them specially for me, she said they taste like walnuts, very fragrant..."
As he was talking, several old men made a face and gestured with the number "two".
The second sentence, as expected, did not come out in three sentences.
