"I know, I know." Xu Ning nodded repeatedly in response. She knew it clearly in her heart. These elderly people meant a lot to her. They were the resources she cherished the most and regarded as treasures!
As the saying goes, an old man is like a treasure. With so many experienced and wise old men around him, Xu Ning feels that what he has now is simply a treasure trove!
She just wanted these lovely old babies to feel the joy of the young, so she suggested that everyone go dancing together and gently twist their bodies. This will not only add fun to life, but is also said to help prolong life!
Of course, considering their advanced age, relatively fragile bones and proneness to problems such as osteoporosis, Xu Ning arranged people to take care of these old darlings early on.
Just after the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Xu Ning gave an order and the staff who had been ready quickly distributed bowls of cool and delicious mung bean soup to everyone.
"Thank you, City Lord!" Several enthusiastic common people in the crowd gathered around happily and thanked Xu Ning with gratitude on their faces.
Xu Ning acted very generous and free-spirited. She waved her hand gracefully and said with a smile, "You're welcome. Let's drink it while it's hot and take a rest afterward."
We have more fun activities and delicious food waiting for everyone later! Be sure to recharge your batteries and maintain sufficient energy, because tonight we are going to party hard and keep going all night long!
"Xiao Ning!" Xu Ning vaguely heard someone calling her name, but the bustling crowd around her blocked the sound, making it difficult for her to tell who was calling.
Then she had an idea and jumped lightly onto the wooden box placed beside her. She looked from a high place and finally saw Li the Hunter and his son, as well as Jiang Yan and others who were slowly walking towards her.
The first thing that caught my eye was Jiang Yan's handsome figure. His complexion was noticeably darker than before, likely due to his recent travels through the Western Regions. Li Hunter was still as sturdy and strong as ever, like an unshakable mountain.
As the weather gets warmer, people wear thinner clothes, so one can see more clearly Li the Hunter's strong and powerful arms, broad and thick shoulders, and the faintly protruding iron-hard muscles on his back, showing his strong physique forged from years of hard work and giving people a sense of oppression that cannot be defeated.
Fortunately, Li Xier actually looked more like his mother, Feng, and was quite handsome. At this moment, the shy little boy was holding his father's hand tightly, cautiously walking towards Xu Ning.
"Uncle Li!" Seeing a familiar face, Xu Ning couldn't contain his joy and excitement, and he greeted him loudly and cheerfully. The people who had gathered around, curiously observing him, realized that the newcomer was someone Xu Ning knew, and they tactfully made way for him.
Jiang Yan, who was walking in front, was wearing a plain and simple casual suit. However, even such a simple outfit could not conceal his innate noble temperament.
Now that he had reached the age of eighteen, his figure had almost fully grown, his posture tall and straight, like a thriving pine tree. Every gesture exuded a sunny and resolute aura that was unique to young men.
Xu Ning stared at Jiang Yan in front of him intently, and for a moment he was a little dazed.
For some reason, she felt that Jiang Yan had become even more handsome after just a few months of not seeing him. His sharp-edged face looked even more handsome and charming, his deep, bright eyes like the stars in the night sky, and his lips slightly raised under his tall, straight nose, outlining a faint smile that made people's hearts beat fast.
"Sister!" A clear and childish cry was heard, and Li Xier suddenly poked out her little head from behind Jiang Yan's tall figure like a clever little rabbit.
The pair of big, round, watery eyes rolled around and attracted Xu Ning's attention.
Jiang Yan, standing nearby, couldn't help but groan inwardly at the sight. He'd finally been hoping Xu Ning would pay more attention to him, but now, this clueless brat had ruined everything!
He secretly glared at Li Xier, his heart full of disgust for this little guy.
At this moment, Li the Hunter, who had been silent in the background, suddenly spoke with a look of surprise, "Oh, it really is Xiao Ning! Girls really change a lot when they grow up, and they become more and more beautiful! Look, she has grown into a graceful young lady!"
When Xu Ning heard this, a smile as bright as a spring flower suddenly blossomed on her face. She responded coquettishly, "Uncle Li, you really know how to praise people! Xi'er has grown so tall, so naturally I have grown up with her!"
As she spoke, she winked playfully, then extended her hand in a gesture of invitation, and said with a smile, "Uncle Li, let's go inside and chat slowly! You've been traveling so long, why not sit down and have some tea to quench your thirst?"
Li the Hunter nodded repeatedly and hurriedly pulled Li Xier to follow Xu Ning's footsteps and walk into the house.
Jiang Yan was quite self-aware. Seeing Xu Ning and the others enter the house, he quickly ordered his men to strictly guard the outside. Afterwards, he followed them into the house and found a seat with ease and comfort.
At this moment, Li the Hunter was completely focused on observing the changes in Xu Ning over the years, and he didn't notice at all that Jiang Yan was acting as if he was alone and at ease as if he was at home.
Xu Ning was already accustomed to such scenes, so he naturally didn't say anything.
