As soon as Liu Linlin entered the door, she hugged her aunt and acted coquettishly.
She saw An An coming out of the kitchen and waved to her affectionately.
"An'an, come here quickly. Auntie bought you hawthorn sticks and jujube paste cake today. Do you like them?"
"Thank you, little cousin."
In fact, An An was not hungry yet. She had already eaten some snacks when she came back just now.
But he still politely took a hawthorn stick and put it in his mouth, saying politely: "It's delicious."
"As long as An An likes it, I'll buy it for you next time." Liu Linlin said in a flattering tone.
In fact, she doesn't like Chenchen and Anan very much. These two children are too cunning and hard to fool.
In his previous life, Han Zhenyu attached great importance to these two siblings, and could be said to have treated them like his own children.
When Chenchen got married, Han Zhenyu gave him a bank card with a large amount of money, as well as several houses and cars.
He gave An An more. As soon as the girl started dating, Han Zhenyu prepared a dowry for her.
Liu Linlin didn't know what it was specifically, but her eldest brother-in-law said that it seemed that there was an office building in Beijing, and the house in Hai City was also given.
When Liu Linlin found out, she was heartbroken.
Those things will belong to her son in the future. However, Han Zhenyu generously gave them to others without mentioning them to her.
Liu Linlin felt embarrassed and annoyed when she heard these things from others.
But no matter how uncomfortable she felt, she didn't dare show it at all, and didn't even dare to ask.
Not to mention the relationship between her aunt and uncle, her cousin and his wife were already officials in important departments at that time, and she couldn't afford to offend them.
In fact, her biggest concern was still with Han Zhenyu, because that man didn't care about her thoughts at all.
No matter what he did, he never discussed it with her. This was also the reason why Liu Linlin could not accept it.
………
After An An finished eating the hawthorn bars, she picked up the picture album next to her and started reading it while listening to the adults talking.
"Aunt, why do I hear children talking in the kitchen? Are there any guests at home?" Liu Linlin asked curiously.
Liu Aihua smiled and said to her niece: "Yes, he is the child of Fang Xun's friend, from the Northeast, and he came to live here for a while."
When Liu Linlin heard that he was from Northeast China, she immediately became interested, "Is he from where An An raised his family?"
When Jiang Shaoting heard her asking again, he frowned slightly and became more and more displeased with this cousin.
He didn't wait for his mother to speak, and said calmly: "Linlin, why are you so interested in Chenchen and Anan's support family, is there something wrong?"
Liu Linlin was shocked when she heard this, and quickly smiled and waved her hands, "No, no, second brother, don't misunderstand me. I just feel sorry for Chenchen and An'an. It's so pitiful that the two children left you at such a young age. I want to know if they are doing well there? So I asked one more question."
"Thank you for your concern, cousin. Chenchen and An'an are doing well over there."
Jiang Shaoting put down the newspaper in his hand, looked at her calmly and said, "Linlin, what happened a few years ago has had a great impact on the two children. Our whole family doesn't want to mention it again. I hope you won't ask about it in the future, so as not to make the family sad."
When Liu Linlin saw her cousin staring at her with that look, her heart skipped a beat and her face changed.
She quickly expressed her opinion, "I understand, second brother, I'm sorry, I will never say it again."
Jiang Shaoting looked at her, smiled faintly and nodded, then picked up the newspaper again, but his eyes glanced at his daughter.
The little girl sat there quietly, without even raising her head.
But Jiang Shaoting knew that she must be listening with both ears pricked up, because she hadn't turned the page of the picture album in her hand for a long time.
Jiang Shaoting couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips. He stood up and stretched, and said gently: "An An, let's go and call your grandma and grandpa to come over for dinner, and then see if your uncle is back?"
"Oh, okay, Dad." An An put down the picture album in her hand and held his hand.
Before Jiang Shaoting left, he smiled and said to Liu Linlin, "Linlin, the kids are cooking some rare dishes in the kitchen. Why don't you stay and try some today?"
"Thank you, second brother. I won't be polite then." Liu Linlin tilted her head and pretended to be cute.
She knew that she had been too impatient just now and was ready to find an opportunity to redeem her image.
She must not let her cousin annoy her, otherwise she would not be able to get close to Han Zhenyu in the future.
Liu Aihua sighed in her heart, thinking that her niece was talking too much. She was about to give her a gentle warning and ask her to be more careful with her words in the future.
At this time, Mr. Jiang walked in from outside, and with him was his youngest son Jiang Shaoyun.
Liu Linlin quickly stood up and greeted, "Uncle, brother, you're back?"
The father and son smiled and nodded. Mr. Jiang waved at her and said with a smile, "Linlin, sit down. You're welcome."
Jiang Shaoyun sniffed his nose, "Mom, why does it smell so good? What delicious food is sister-in-law making?"
Liu Aihua opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, she saw her youngest son heading towards the kitchen without even having time to take off his clothes.
She shook her head helplessly, "This brat, he's so grown up, but he's still not steady at all."
Liu Linlin took her uncle's military uniform and hung it neatly on the hanger.
Then he smiled and said to Liu Aihua: "Aunt, don't worry about my brother. He only comes back once in a long time. He must be craving for the food at home."
Old Master Jiang laughed, "Linlin is right. Let alone the third brother, I am greedy just by smelling this."
Chenchen and the others were greeting Jiang Shaoyun, and when they heard Grandpa's laughter, Xuanxuan hurried out of the kitchen because he was the only one who was free, and the others were busy with other things.
"Grandpa is back?" he said affectionately.
Grandpa Jiang said with a smile: "You are back, you are back, what delicious food are you making, my dear grandson?"
Xuanxuan first poured him a cup of tea, brought it to him with a smile, and then told him the dishes they would have for dinner today.
"Grandpa, we have the chicken stewed with mushrooms that you like, the pickled fish that Uncle Jiang likes, and the braised pork, minced meat and eggplant, shredded potatoes with peppers, ants climbing trees, and the Black and White Impermanence."
"Oh, so many delicious dishes?" Grandpa Jiang asked him puzzledly: "Xuanxuan, I have eaten the first few dishes, what are the Ants Climbing a Tree and Black and White Impermanence? Why are the names so strange?"
Xuanxuan saw that his grandfather didn't know either, so he smiled smugly and deliberately kept it a secret, "Grandpa, I won't tell you yet. You'll know when the food is served."
He brought the tea to Mr. Jiang and said, "Grandpa, drink some water to moisten your throat first. I'll go to the kitchen and we'll be ready for dinner in a while."
"Okay, okay, go ahead, my dear grandson." Grandpa Jiang touched his head.
When Xuanxuan turned around and went to the kitchen, he happily drank a sip of tea and said to his wife, "Xuanxuan and Haohao are so well-behaved, hardworking and sensible, and most importantly, they can cook. I really love these two kids, it would be great if I could keep them here to go to school."
Liu Aihua glared at him and said, "Are you dreaming? Will the parents be willing to give their child to us? You old man are really funny. I don't know what you are thinking about all day long."
Old Master Jiang wasn't angry either, he just sat there and laughed.
