Transmigration: I Have Storage Space in the Apocalypse-Chapter 385 - 381 Commander, You Flatter Me 【850 Votes＋】

——————

"Ah ah, don’t be so polite, the old man just came to see Chen, and the newborn twins. The old man really just came to share the good fortune—"

"Commander, your visit truly brings light to this humble dwelling!" On hearing ’good fortune’, Xie Tiesheng greeted him with a smile all over his face.

Recently, Mr. Xie learned to use the expression ’brings light to this humble dwelling’ from an old scholar at the hospital.

"Grandpa, the babies are still sleeping upstairs, I’ll ask Aunt Jiang to bring them down," Yan Jinsu said, giving Jiang Xiaoying a meaningful look.

Previously, when the Yan Family visited, she had also moved the children downstairs for the Yan Family to see for a while to avoid any awkwardness.

However, as the infants were only about a month old, she let the children out in the sunlight for just about ten minutes before moving them back to the room.

"Good, good, the old man has never seen twins of a dragon and phoenix before in his lifetime." If it weren’t for his age, he might still be fighting on the front lines, with no time to visit babies...

Really old, truly old.

Liu Aimin’s expression dropped momentarily as Jiang Xiaoying left, but with Yan Xiqing there, and both being old comrades of the same rank, once they began talking, there was no end in sight.

People who have fought are always hearty.

Even the old man, though short of breath when speaking, achieved his purpose through facial expressions.

Elder Mr. Yan and Mr. Liu always spoke loudly, but after a few seconds of silence, only memories of the hardships of past years could be heard between the two old men in the Xie Family’s small courtyard.

From time to time, Xie Tiesheng could join in the fun, catching up with a few sentences, but most of the time, the visit from the Yan Family turned into a long catch-up session between Elder Yan and Elder Liu.

Seeing it like this, Zhou Xiuhua promptly took her daughter to the kitchen to prepare a good lunch.

At this moment, the place was indeed a bit crowded, Zhou Xiuhua noticed that the elders each had brought a bodyguard, which meant two more people to feed, plus Yan Dongsheng and his wife, the three Yan brothers, along with their own family members, just the adults numbered over ten—so much food for so many people surely needed early preparation.

Luckily, the Yan Family had informed Xie Jingchen beforehand about their visit, so today, Zhou Xiuhua had prepared a large amount of groceries when she went to buy vegetables and meat.

Her own son was a soldier, and Zhou Xiuhua very well understood, a single soldier’s appetite equates to that of three ordinary men!

At this moment, Qi Chunlan was just quietly hiding behind Yan Dongsheng, a bit shy and avoiding Liu Aimin with his commanding presence, her three sons by her side giving her much comfort.

Yan Jinsu sat by the side, her face bearing a faint smile, hosting everyone without appearing too detached or overly enthusiastic, fulfilling the host’s duties decently.

Seeing Yan Jinsu behave this way, the three Yan brothers and Yan Dongsheng all looked disappointed.

But they also understood; their daughter/sister [or sister] was not a simple and naive village girl.

Yan Jinsu was progressive in thought, so much so that even Xie Jingchen had to consider her opinions many times, showing her to be a woman with strong personal principles. This familial relation had to be willingly reciprocated to truly embody familial harmony!

Jiang Xiaoying came downstairs with her two treasures, and Xiao Si and Xiaoqi came along as well.

Since the courtyard was full of adults, Xiao Si volunteered to take care of his sisters Xiaojiu and Xiao Shi.

After all, Xiaojiu and Xiao Shi would just quietly lie in their cradle and sleep soundly after eating, not making any trouble and very easy to look after.

As soon as there was a slightest movement from Xiaojiu or Xiao Shi, Xiaoqi would become even more nervous than Xiao Si, immediately calling out loudly for Aunt Jiang to come, seemingly possessing a little shadow of a ’housekeeper’.

Because Yan Jinsu was finding the confinement period incredibly boring, and the two little ones were on kindergarten holiday, Xiao Lei and his sibling seldom came over, and the little ones were lacking playmates.

Thus, they often stayed at Second Aunt’s place, ostensibly to help look after Xiaojiu and Xiao Shi, the twin dragon and phoenix siblings.

In reality, while staying in Yan Jinsu’s room, they were often bribed by Yan Jinsu with Space candies and snack biscuits, loyally hoping they could just stay on the third floor forever.

However, now, ’Princess Tiantian’ had started frequently visiting the Xie Family because of Xie Jingzi’s connection and also being her kindergarten classmate, making herself quite at home.

At the beginning of their interaction, because Tiantian kept calling Xie Jingzi ’little aunt,’ Xiao Si and Xiaoqi really didn’t like her arrival and couldn’t warm up to her at all.

But little Tiantian had a certain leader-like charm, occasionally bringing over trendy toys, and soon Xiaoqi was the first to lose her resistance, softened by Tiantian’s small toys.

As for Xiao Si, he could not hold out much longer either — as Zhou Zheng Hui brought over a model airplane, which completely captivated Xiao Si.

From then on, Tiantian became a favored guest for Xiao Si and Xiaoqi, making appointments to come over every two or three days, their friendship rapidly progressing.

Finally, when Xie Jingzi finished her college entrance exams at the end of last month and school was out for the summer vacation, Tiantian started spending her mornings, afternoons, and evenings at the Xie Family, not wanting to leave at all.

Fortunately, today, because they were hosting the Yan Family, Zhou Zheng Hui tactfully held back Tiantian from coming.

Given Tiantian’s natural familiarity, Xie Jingzi had no choice but to give Zhou Xiuhua a brief lowdown regarding Zhou Zheng Hui’s intentions—knowing that her daughter was formally dating him, and the man repeatedly requested a meeting between both families, Zhou Xiuhua finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Don’t blame Zhou Xiuhua for being overcautious; it’s because Xie Jingzi’s path to marriage really made her anxious.

Xiao Si, taking his sister alongside, shyly glanced at Liu Aimin, a stranger, and promptly called him ’Grandpa Liu’ as invited by Second Aunt, straightforwardly and politely greeting him.

Then, recognizing the Old Master Yan and his family, as the Yan Family had stayed for a month and were familiar faces now, Xiao Si straightforwardly led his sister in greeting them.

"Good kids, Nephew Xie, you’ve raised your grandchildren well." Liu Aimin warmly nodded, turning his head to smile at Xie Tiesheng.

Hearing this, Xiao Si, feeling quite shy, along with Xiaoqi excused themselves and ran to find their grandmother and little aunt in the kitchen.

"Hehe, commander, you flatter me." After nodding at his grandson, Xie Tiesheng, with a naive expression, touched his own short white hair and happily replied.

Given his age, standing in front of Yan Xiqing and Liu Aimin, he used to only claim to be of the grandchild generation.

After all, Xie Tiesheng was just over fifty, while Liu Aimin and Yan Xiqing were both at the rare age of over seventy.

It’s because his son San’er had married Yan’s granddaughter, now increasing his generational status to that of a nephew.
