Chapter 629: Chapter 629: Quite the Skilled Wrist
Jiang Dashan had not seen Yu Cheng for a long time, either. The boy was sensible and polite, and he had taken a liking to him when he had stayed at his home previously.
He looked at the few teenagers and asked with concern, “Yu Cheng, did you guys take the train to come here?”
Before Yu Cheng could answer, Zhang Guihua excitedly cut in, “No, old man, these kids flew here especially for Mianmian’s birthday.”
“Oh, I see,” said Jiang Dashan, his mind suddenly full of thoughts upon hearing this.
If several boys could come by plane specifically to celebrate Mianmian’s birthday, it showed how strong their friendship was.
Maybe Mianmian could get their help to go to Capital City and become one of the People from Capital someday.
Thinking this, even the usually calm and collected Jiang Dashan became somewhat excited.
Zhang Guihua was even more overwhelmed with emotion, but she did not think as far ahead as her husband.
She was just contentedly and proudly thinking how prestigious her granddaughter must be, to have people come specifically from Capital City to celebrate her birthday.
When she returned to the village, she would certainly have a good boast about it to make the other villagers green with envy.
With these thoughts, she chatted with Yu Cheng and the others a bit more, bursting with affection and laughter, before taking her daughters-in-law and granddaughter into the kitchen to help prepare the meal.
Zhong Yuan and Tian Wei, who were reading in the house, heard the noise outside and came out curiously to take a look. They were taken aback when they saw the teenagers in the living room.
When had their small town ever seen teenagers with such extraordinary looks and temperament?
Jiang Mianmian saw them come out and introduced the two, and when Zhong Yuan and Tian Wei found out they were from Capital City, they abandoned their extracurricular books and started asking all sorts of curious questions right there in the living room.
Tang Lin was renowned in the military district as a “smiling tiger,” always approachable and smiling at everyone, exuding good-natured vibes.
Those he wished to befriend, he would never offend, and Cheng An didn’t need to be mentioned—he was known to have the best temper among them, while Xu Sheng was also a youth with a mild temper.
The Jiang Family children, seeing how easygoing they were, quickly lost their initial restraint and relaxed, crowding around them and peppering them with all manner of bizarre and funny questions.
They didn’t find it troublesome to be surrounded by a group of kids, but instead answered their questions with great patience.
Given Tang Lin and the others’ extensive knowledge and experience, they knew a lot and used the children’s questions as a starting point for elaborating on other topics, telling their tales vividly and enchantingly, quickly captivating the youngsters.
Even Zhong Yuan and Tian Wei, the two top students, listened with great relish.
It didn’t take long before they were all getting along famously, the atmosphere looking very harmonious, to Jiang Mianmian’s great contentment.
Truly worthy of being wards of Capital City’s prestigious compounds, their social skills were impressive indeed!
In the living room, while Tang Lin and the others talked, everyone else listened intently to their accounts of various anecdotes about Capital City.
After about an hour, when the meal was ready, Su Wanyu came over and clapped her hands to draw everyone’s attention and announced, “Alright, everyone, let’s conclude our morning discussion. It’s time to eat.”
“Then let’s have our meal first. We can discuss this issue after we finish eating,” Tang Lin said to everyone with a smile.
“Okay, let’s eat first.”
At this point, what Tang Lin and his friends said was more persuasive than an imperial edict for the Jiang Family children, and the group of kids rushed to the washroom to wash their hands one after another.
