"Mama, Mama, where is my ball? Where did you put my ball?" Just then, a boy in his teens ran in from outside.
"Little rascal, can’t you see we have guests?" Wen Shuzhen glared at the boy, then turned to Lin Xiaoguai and said, "This is my youngest son, Luo Jiamin. Jiamin, say hello to your auntie."
As she said that, she turned her head to look at Luo Jiamin.
"Hello, Auntie." It seed Luo Jiamin had just realized there were guests in the house. He turned his head, his eyes lit up, and said, "Auntie, you are so beautiful. What is the relationship between you and my family?"
Luo Jiamin was dark and skinny, but not the malnourished skinny; rather, the kind of skinny a boy gets when he’s growing rapidly. He resembled his mother with very delicate features, but his sun-tanned skin exhausted what his original looks could have brought him in terms of gentleness.
Being stared at by the child’s bright, large eyes, it was hard for Lin Xiaoguai not to feel good. She smiled and said, "My husband and your father were comrades in arms."
"Oh, I see. You are the general’s wife, right?" Luo Jiamin suddenly got excited.
Knowing about the term ’wife’ at such a young age amused Lin Xiaoguai as well.
Although she guessed the ’general’ he was referring to was Shen Chi, she still hesitated and glanced at Wen Shuzhen.
"Jiamin is talking about your hubby," Wen Shuzhen laughed. "This child has been curious since he was little about why his dad ca back from the military. The funniest thing is, when he was a bit older and asked that, my husband would tell him he lost his arm in battle and had to retire. Guess what his response was?"
She mimicked the child’s tone: "Ah~ Dad, so you were kicked out of the army because you weren’t tough enough." She impersonated the child’s disappointed tone perfectly.
Lin Xiaoguai couldn’t help but laugh.
"Jiamin has always wanted to join the military, so he really likes Shen Chi. Every ti he’s here, he surrounds him with questions," Wen Shuzhen’s face always carried a smile.
"I thought you’d be worried?" Lin Xiaoguai paused and asked.
"I know what you an," Wen Shuzhen smiled. "But everyone has their own fortune. If he truly wants to join the military later, although I’ll be worried, I would still respect his wishes."
"Besides, it’s not like before; soldiers don’t just get sacrificed randomly now."
At that mont, Lin Xiaoguai truly admired her. Honestly, even she would be sowhat unhappy when Shen Chi occasionally ntioned his son following in his footsteps, perhaps because she was too anxious about her child. But Wen Shuzhen’s open-minded attitude towards her child truly impressed her.
"Mom, if Auntie is here, does that an Uncle General is also here?" Luo Jiamin asked eagerly.
"He’s in the study discussing things with your dad."
Hearing this, Luo Jiamin stopped caring about his ball and simply sat down next to them, waiting for Uncle General to co down.
Shen Chi and Luo Ming didn’t stay in the study long before they ca down. Without ntioning how Luo Jiamin turned into a little follower of Shen Chi, it was just in ti for dinner, and Wen Shuzhen had the nanny serve the food imdiately.
"By the way, Nanny Liu, go upstairs and call Jiahe down." While setting the table, Wen Shuzhen instructed the housekeeper.
Soon, a tall, thin youth walked down from upstairs.
"That’s my eldest son, Luo Jiahe, 20 years old this year. He just got admitted to Fudan University, and he rushed back for his grandmother’s funeral."
Listening to Wen Shuzhen’s proud introduction, Lin Xiaoguai instinctively looked up, but almost scread.
It wasn’t that she wasn’t composed, but rather that she had seen this youngster in her previous life!
As ntioned before, in her last life, Lin Xiaoniao and her husband had co to visit her. And the Luo Jiahe she was seeing now seed to be Lin Xiaoniao’s husband!?
She herself was 27 years old this year, and Lin Xiaoniao was four years younger, making her 23 years old. If she wasn’t mistaken, had Xiao Niao married a man three years younger than herself in her past life?
Lin Xiaoguai felt a bit confused.
During the al, Lin Xiaoguai kept secretly observing Luo Jiahe. She noticed that this young man, resembling Luo Ming and carrying the looks from Wen Shuzhen improved upon their features, but his cheerful and easy-going personality was exactly like another Wen Shuzhen, making him a very easy person to get along with.
Lin Xiaoguai pondered her niece’s strong personality and thought these two seed quite matched.
Moreover, both Luo Ming and Wen Shuzhen didn’t seem like the kind of difficult in-laws, so this pair seed quite suitable.
And as for the age difference, wasn’t there a saying about won marrying younger n?
Realizing this, Lin Xiaoguai stopped fretting. The Mapo tofu prepared by the Luo family nanny was very authentic; although it was spicy enough to make her mouth swell, she still enjoyed it imnsely.
After their al, everyone moved to the living room, where the nanny had already brought tea and fruits.
Lin Xiaoguai, who had enjoyed her al, now felt her tongue painfully spicy. Ironically, drinking warm water made it worse. Just then, Shen Chi brought her a cup of cool boiled water.
Lin Xiaoguai took a sip, it had cooled down but wasn’t icy, imdiately relieving her pain.
"Wanwan really likes spicy food? You had quite a bit of that Mapo tofu," Wen Shuzhen said with a smile, watching their interaction.
"I don’t have a particular preference for spicy food, it’s just that today’s Mapo tofu was too authentic. I couldn’t help but eat a bit too much." Lin Xiaoguai’s face turned red; in fact, today’s Mapo tofu had been a bit too spicy for her, but encountering such authentic Sichuan cuisine, she had unintentionally let herself go.
"Ma’am, the little girl has woken up. Should I bring her over?" At that mont, the nanny ca over and asked.
Wen Shuzhen nodded, "Bring her over, and don’t forget to put a hat on her." (To be continued. If you like this work, we welco you to Qidian (qidian) to vote for recomndation tickets and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users can read at m.qidian.)
