Jiang Shengnan is very popular in the family compound. Most of the family members living near her home have been her old neighbors for many years.
Seeing a strange young woman standing next to Jiang Shengnan with a child, someone couldn't help but ask curiously: "Shengnan, who is this? She looks so pretty."
Jiang Shengnan immediately had a proud smile on her face, and she pulled Chuxia and said, "This is Zhengnian's wife Chuxia, and this is my grandson An'an. He came specially to spend the New Year with us!"
With that proud look, Chuxia was like the best daughter-in-law, and Anan was the best grandson.
Jiang Shengnan touched An An's head and said, "I said it was too much trouble to come here. It's so far and it's not convenient to bring An An with me. But Chu Xia said that it's not a good New Year if the family doesn't spend the New Year together, so she brought An An here directly. She also said that An An was little before, but now he's older, so he must meet his grandparents. It touched me and Lao Cen so much. I don't know how many years of blessing it is to have such a daughter-in-law."
Chuxia stood by without saying a word, just smiling, and cooperated very well with Jiang Shengnan's showing off.
The neighbor who asked the question also laughed and said, "You are really blessed. Look at my daughter-in-law. She can't even come here during the Chinese New Year. She's lucky to be able to make a phone call."
Jiang Shengnan quickly praised her daughter-in-law again. After the two of them praised each other for a while, she put away her smile and continued walking forward with Chuxia.
As they walked, she said to Chu Xia, "The person just now was Lv Qin, the wife of Minister Fang of the Logistics Department. She works in the military hospital. Don't listen to what she said just now. In fact, she doesn't like her daughter-in-law and didn't let anyone come. Don't listen to a word she says, and don't say anything more to her."
Chuxia remembered in her heart, Lu Qin, when we meet, we only need to say hello and there should be no in-depth communication.
On the way out of the family compound, Chu Xia and An An were introduced to many family members by Jiang Shengnan. The family members looked at Chu Xia with some kindness and friendliness, some curiosity, and some picky and disgusted.
Chuxia felt that she wouldn't have much contact with them in the future, so it would be good enough if she could remember their names so that she wouldn't call the wrong people when greeting them. She didn't care about anything else.
An An was not interested in the family members in the family compound. He was more interested in the soldiers who walked past in a line from time to time.
This was a group of people he had never come into contact with before. The soldiers marched in step, with consistent pace and upright posture. They would salute in unison when they saw Jiang Shengnan.
Every time he saw a team, An An's eyes widened and he looked at the soldiers. Even when they walked away, he still looked back.
He was very curious why they all saluted when they saw grandma. It was just that he was not familiar with Jiang Shengnan, and he rarely spoke in front of unfamiliar people.
He learned the word "salute" from his textbook. The teacher told them to salute the national flag.
Chu Xia noticed his actions and asked him, "An An, do you like these military uncles?"
An An: “I like it!”
Jiang Shengnan's eyes wrinkled with laughter when she heard this. She touched Cen Huaian's head and said, "An An is really discerning! Soldiers defend their country and are the cutest people."
Chu Xia nodded, with a smile on her face, and said to Cen Huaian: "Grandma and Grandpa are also soldiers. If you want to know more about soldiers, you can ask grandma and grandpa."
