Old man Jin rarely comes to such occasions, so everyone can't help but feel fresh when they see him.
What's more, when people in Huaihe Village saw Old Man Jin before, he always looked seldom smiling, but now he was holding the child, and even in the middle of winter he looked like a happy person.
"Uncle Jin, is this the child you want?"
Old man Jin was also happy today, and he answered everyone's questions happily.
"Yeah, let Hancheng give him a name called Long Sheng, it sounds nice, right?"
"Oh my, that name Teacher Ling came up with must be good!"
"Hahaha, I think so too!"
Many people did not ask Old Man Jin why the child took his wife's surname. Anyway, since it was decided that way, why should they ask more questions? After all, Old Man Jin's wife had passed away a long time ago, and it would not be good to open up her scars.
"This child is so cute and looks healthy. Is he difficult to raise?"
"It's not difficult, it's not difficult. This child has never cried. Even if there is something wrong, he just hums a few times. He is so well-behaved!"
Seeing how energetic Old Man Jin looked while holding the child, you knew that what he said was definitely not a lie.
The people in Huaihe Village had heard the announcement on the loudspeaker before, and some were interested, but many did not even come to take a look. They just thought that since the child was abandoned, there might be something wrong with him, not to mention that he was picked up in the snow.
Now seeing the child's appearance, many people feel regretful.
If I had known that this child was so well-behaved and good-looking, I would have taken him.
Unfortunately, it’s too late to think about anything now.
Old man Jin walked into the Ling family's house holding the child amidst the envious gazes of some people.
"Old Man Jin is really different now!"
"Having a child here finally gives me something to think about."
"Old Man Jin has had a hard life. No one should gossip about this kid. You'll go to hell if you do!"
"Yeah, but we can't be like the Gao family..."
When someone mentioned the Gao family, everyone sighed.
But the situation of Old Man Jin and the Gao family is different. If anyone gossips like Old Man Gao's nephew Gao Dali, he would probably be drowned in the spit of all the people in Huaihe Village.
The Ling family's yard is really busy at this moment.
"My goodness, this is such a big scene!"
Old Man Jin couldn't help but sigh.
"Old Jin is here!" Mrs. Ling saw Old Man Jin and smiled cheerfully. "I haven't seen you in a while. You look much more energetic. Is this your new son?"
Old Man Jin saw Old Lady Ling approaching and said, "Old sister, how about this? Look at how handsome my son is!"
It was also the first time that Old Lady Ling saw Long Sheng. She had heard Ling Hancheng mention him two days ago but had not gone to see him yet. Now, looking at the child in Old Lady Ling's arms, he was really fair and tender, with a spirit in his eyes. He didn't cry or make a fuss, and looked very calm.
"What a nice kid!"
When Old Lady Ling looked at the child, she felt that he had a promising future.
Old Man Jin grinned and said, "I brought him here to play with your granddaughter. Last time I saw him and your granddaughter being very affectionate."
"What?"
When Mrs. Ling heard this, she was a little confused.
Old Man Jin was not good at observing people's expressions, so he didn't understand what Old Lady Ling meant by her expression, and happily recounted what happened last time.
"My little kid likes the one in yours..."
"Don't say that!" Old Mrs. Ling's eyes widened. "My little granddaughter can't be liked by anyone casually!"
Old Madam Ling was really fond of her granddaughter, so how could she let another boy get close to her so easily?
Absolutely not allowed!
"Go to that room and rest!" Old Mrs. Ling said as she was about to drive Old Man Jin to Ling Mu's room. She wanted to isolate the two children.
Old man Jin happily carried the child to the main room. After all, he had been to the Ling family and knew which room the child was in.
Old Mrs. Ling shouted twice but failed to stop Old Man Jin. She wanted to follow him anxiously, but there were still a lot of things to do to prepare the banquet and she couldn't get away for the time being. She could only stamp her feet in anger.
When Old Man Jin entered the main room, he saw a room full of children. The only adult was the pregnant Lu Kelan.
"Uncle Jin is here!"
Lu Kelan also recognized Old Man Jin. Old Man Chu had asked Old Man Jin to make furniture before. The bed and coffee table that Lu Kelan and Chu Sangen used when they got married were both made by Old Man Jin.
This was also thanks to the favors of Ling Hancheng and Chu Yuefang, otherwise Old Man Jin might not be willing to take the job.
Old Man Jin and Lu Kelan waved and greeted each other.
Lu Kelan looked at Long Sheng and smiled, praising him a few words. She was about to ask Old Man Jin to put the child on the bed, but when she turned around, she saw that several children from the Ling family were sitting around the bed, surrounding little Linglong so tightly that there was no way out.
Um?
What is this doing?
The three-year-old Chu Zhou next to them was holding a rattle and looking at his cousins in a daze.
"Ling Mu, what are you doing?" Lu Kelan couldn't understand.
Ling Mu pursed his lips and said nothing, but his eyes were fixed on Old Man Jin.
No, it was Long Sheng in Old Man Jin’s arms.
Lu Kelan looked over and saw that Long Sheng seemed to be more energetic than before, with his eyes very focused, staring at a certain place.
Following this path, I found that the child... was staring at Xiao Linglong who was playing with a tumbler.
Why?
Could it be that this child already knows how to like little girls at such a young age?
Lu Kelan shook his head, trying to throw the thought out of his mind.
How old is this child? How can a child of this age be so precocious?
Maybe it’s because Xiao Linglong is so cute. I guess anyone who sees him would like to play with him.
When Lu Kelan came over and saw Xiao Linglong's appearance, she finally understood why her elder sister-in-law wanted a daughter so much, and why her elder sister-in-law and her husband were so excited when they went to the Chu family and talked about this child.
Who wouldn't want or like such a lovely daughter?
Look, now even little boys like it.
Lu Kelan smiled and said, "Xiao Longsheng must like Xiao Long'er and want to play with her. You can't stop them from playing together!"
The Ling brothers looked at each other.
Ling Sen raised his head and said, "My sister belongs to us. What if someone else takes her away?"
"Yes, yes, my sister is so good, she can't be taken away by others! If she is taken away by others, we will have no sister!"
Ling Li also spoke loudly.
Lu Kelan laughed: "How could she be snatched away? My sister is yours, she won't be snatched away no matter what!"
Unless she gets married in the future.
But that will be at least ten or twenty years later.
However, looking at the current situation of the Ling family's sons, Lu Kelan felt that it was really difficult for her to say such words.
