"What's wrong, Lanlan?"
Hearing the commotion, Xiao Yuqin quickly came over.
"Mom, who is this lady? She's a guest in our house, and we'd think she was the hostess! She's being so sarcastic and unfriendly!"
Xia Lan pointed to the woman who had just spoken.
"Yu...Yuqin."
The woman saw Xiao Yuqin and smiled awkwardly.
"I guess you could call them relatives!"
Xiao Yuqin glanced at the woman and explained to Xia Lan.
"If you don't want to come, you don't have to force yourself. I'll just tell my dad!"
Looking at this distant relative, Xiao Yuqin's face darkened.
"What do you want to tell me?" Xiao Guoqiang and his mother walked hand in hand toward Xiao Yuqin and Xia Lan, and he asked Xiao Yuqin.
"It's nothing, it's nothing. I just talked too much and said a few extra words."
The woman quickly said.
"I'm sorry, I was too talkative! It was my fault."
The woman's sudden act of humility gave outsiders the impression that Xia Lan and Xiao Yuqin had bullied her.
Xia Lan slowly stood up.
"You didn't say anything, you just think that my mom and I used abnormal means to get married, right? What's wrong with saying that? If you want to know, just ask directly. How long will it take you to guess the right answer?"
Xia Lan's voice silenced everyone.
Xiao Guoqiang's face immediately darkened.
"If you can't speak, then don't speak. Go back."
Xiao Guoqiang glared coldly at the woman.
"And all of you, get out of here!"
Pointing at the other women, Xiao Guoqiang's face was grim. He decided to kill the innocent rather than let the guilty go free, and sent them all away.
"no……"
The woman wanted to say something more, but Xiao Guoqiang was too lazy to waste words with her and directly called her husband over.
"Go back and teach your wife properly, so she knows when to shut up!"
"I'm so sorry, Mr. Xiao, I'll take her back right now!"
The man quickly and forcibly pulled the woman away.
After the gossipy women left, Xiao Guoqiang apologized to Xia Lan.
"It's my fault for letting these clueless people come and join in the fun."
Xiao Guoqiang wanted everyone to know that he had two great-grandchildren, but the people who came were a bunch of clueless people, which was indeed his fault.
“How can you blame yourself!” Xia Lan shook her head.
"What happened?" Qin Jun walked over with a bad expression. Xiao Guoqiang felt a little uncomfortable when he saw Qin Jun.
"Father-in-law." Qin Jun nodded to Xiao Guoqiang.
"It's nothing, Grandpa Xiao has taken care of it!"
Xia Lan spoke on behalf of Xiao Guoqiang.
Xiao Guoqiang nodded in response, and his eyes lit up when he saw Tuantuan in Qin Jun's arms.
"Is this Tuan Tuan? Or Yuan Yuan?"
Xia Lan pointed to Tuan Tuan in Qin Jun's arms and laughed.
"This is my older sister, Tuantuan, and the one I'm holding is my younger brother, Yuanyuan."
Xiao Guoqiang looked at Tuantuan and wanted to go into Qin Jun's arms, but Qin Jun immediately took a step back and refused to give Tuantuan up.
Even my father-in-law wouldn't allow it.
"Tuantuan is shy around strangers, so it's better if I hold her."
Xiao Guoqiang glanced at Qin Jun, and Xia Lan handed Yuanyuan, whom she was holding, to him.
Xiao Guoqiang glanced at Xia Lan with amusement, then turned and glared at Qin Jun.
Holding Yuanyuan, Yuanyuan wasn't afraid of him at all, and she giggled as she looked at him.
"This little thing is quite bold; it's not afraid of me."
Xiao Guoqiang smiled.
"Like the children of our Qin family! They're naturally bold."
Qin Jun held Tuantuan in his arms and said proudly.
Xiao Guoqiang narrowed his eyes speechlessly, glanced at his mother, and his mother took out two longevity locks from her bosom and placed them in the arms of the two children.
"Thank you, you've gone to so much trouble."
Xia Lan nodded to Xiao Guoqiang and his mother.
"You're being a bit too formal, aren't you?"
Xiao Guoqiang glanced at Xia Lan.
"I've always kept an empty seat for you here, just waiting for you to nod."
"Thank you for your kindness, Grandpa Xiao, but I've decided to try it on my own. If all else fails, I'll come back to you, alright."
Xia Lan smiled at Xiao Guoqiang.
“You can do the same with me. If you have any thoughts, just tell us.”
Xiao Guoqiang looked at Xia Lan, and Xia Lan nodded.
As soon as Xiao Guoqiang finished speaking, the other guests immediately brought over their gifts and exchanged a few pleasantries with him.
They all came specifically for Xiao Guoqiang.
Xia Lan glanced at the pile of gifts and then ignored them.
Qin Jun held Tuantuan in his arms the whole time and sat down at a table with a few old friends.
Although it was called a full moon celebration, it was still considered taboo these days, so the only people who actually stayed for the meal were a few of Qin Jun's old friends and Xiao Guoqiang and his wife.
For everyone else, it's just a formality; you just need to know that they have twins in their family.
As for Xia Lan's friends, Wu Shishi, Su Dan, Zhao Yuexin, and Wu Tianming, Xia Lan arranged for them to sit at the same table.
Finally, it became even more flexible, with one table for the younger generation and another for their elders.
"Thank you for coming all this way for Tuantuan and Yuanyuan today. We appreciate all the words you've said. You are all our family. We would like to raise a glass to you."
Qin Yu and Xia Lan stood up and smiled at all their relatives and friends.
"Alright! Let's drink until we drop tonight!"
A group of veterans immediately shouted with joy.
"Drink up! There's plenty of alcohol tonight."
