Chapter 2936

Yan Xiwan was undoubtedly the most qualified sister in the world, knowing exactly how to trick her own brother.

Wang Suyan, distracted by the matter of her son’s marriage, stopped talking about Ouyang Tianyun.

Yan Zhicheng returned on the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, bringing back quite a few things.

"If you’re coming home, just come home. Why bring all this stuff? Is it free?" Wang Suyan looked at the bags of goods with a helpless sigh.

"It really is free. It’s a benefit from our research institute. Every employee gets some, so I did too. The researchers get even more," Yan Zhicheng explained.

"What’s the use of having so many things? It would be better if you brought a daughter-in-law home," Wang Suyan complained.

Yan Zhicheng sighed helplessly, "Mother, please don’t rush. After the New Year, I will bring someone home. Right now, during the festival, she needs to go home to her family too."

Hearing this, Wang Suyan’s eyes lit up. There was hope! "You have a girlfriend? What does she do?"

"Yes, I do. She is a teacher at the kindergarten in our research institute, specializing in teaching the children of the researchers. I met her by chance. She is a gentle girl. She has gone home for the New Year. When she returns to work on the sixth day, and on her day off on Sunday, I will bring her home for you to meet."

Yan Zhicheng knew his mother cared deeply about his marriage, which is why he was so anxious.

Anyway, getting married was only a matter of time. Having a girlfriend wasn’t a bad thing. Most importantly, the girl he knew was quite nice. They could live a simple, peaceful life together.

Yan Xiwan, listening nearby, looked delighted. "Big Brother, so I will have a sister-in-law soon?"

"Yes, aren’t you happy?" Yan Zhicheng pinched Yan Xiwan’s cheek.

"Happy." Yan Xiwan slapped Yan Zhicheng’s hand away. "Don’t pinch my face randomly. If it becomes a big flat face, it won’t look good."

"You’re a doctor, yet you have such absurd logic. Pinching it twice won’t make your face flat," Yan Zhicheng teased.

"Are you still my big brother? Bullying me like this. I’m ignoring you." Yan Xiwan made a funny face. "There are delicious sweet and sour fish balls for dinner. I won’t let you eat any. I’ll eat them all myself."

"Okay, it’s all my fault. Be good. Big Brother bought you a gift too," Yan Zhicheng hurriedly apologized to Yan Xiwan. There was no way out; if his little sister got angry, it was no good.

She quickly took out a piece of clothing from a nearby bag. "This is something your future sister-in-law and I bought for you together. Try it on."

It was a beige wool coat, simple and elegant in style.

"It looks nice." Yan Xiwan liked the coat very much.

"Hurry up and try it on," Yan Zhicheng urged with a smile.

Yan Xiwan went back to her room, changed into the wool coat, and came out. "Father, Mother, Big Brother, how does it look?"

"My daughter looks beautiful." In Yan Tieniu’s eyes, her daughter was unique. She looked good in anything. Even if she were wrapped in a sack, she would still look good.

Yan Xiwan doubted Yan Tieniu’s taste in aesthetics, so she decided to ask her mother instead.

Wang Suyan nodded slightly. "Your big brother and future sister-in-law have good taste. Alright, hurry up and change out of it. You can wear it on the first day of the New Year."

"Okay." Yan Xiwan smiled and went back to her room to change out of the new clothes, then came out again.

"By the way, Big Brother, what is my future sister-in-law’s name?" Yan Xiwan asked while helping serve the dishes and adding rice for everyone.

Yan Zhicheng smiled slightly and said, "Her name is Tian Chunxiang."

"Hmm." Yan Xiwan nodded slightly. "Eh?" Yan Xiwan noticed her palm felt hot for a moment.

What did this mean? It meant that this Tian Chunxiang had some issues. Whether she was a transmigrator or a reborn person, she would have to see first to know.

However, since she hadn’t met Tian Chunxiang yet, Yan Xiwan didn’t know what kind of person she was.

Of course, Yan Xiwan still trusted Yan Zhicheng’s judgment. At least, she could be sure that Tian Chunxiang was not an evil soul.

"I am very much looking forward to meeting my future sister-in-law," Yan Xiwan said with a smile.

"I will bring her back after the first lunar month. You just need to prepare a meeting gift then," Yan Zhicheng teased.

"How can a brother and sister-in-law ask a younger sister for a meeting gift? That is immoral," Yan Xiwan pointed out directly.

Then she pretended to look aggrieved and looked at Yan Tieniu. "Father, Big Brother is bullying me."

"It’s okay. I will teach him a lesson later and vent your anger," Yan Tieniu said, naturally favoring his daughter.

Yan Zhicheng sighed helplessly from the side. "Other families favor sons over daughters. Why does our family favor daughters over sons?"

"If you say it that way, is it my fault?" Yan Tieniu looked at Yan Zhicheng with a half-smile.

Yan Zhicheng hurriedly said, "No, no. How could it be your fault? It’s my fault. My fault."

"Haha." Everyone burst into laughter instantly.

Having family members return was naturally the happiest thing.

Before they knew it, it was New Year’s Eve. Yan Xiwan looked at Wang Suyan and knew she was missing Yan Zhixin and Yan Zhishan. Unfortunately, their current environment restricted their movements. Wang Suyan could understand, but she still missed her children.

"Mother, tomorrow we can make some dumplings and go to the military academy. Let the brothers come out to get them," Yan Xiwan smiled and said.

"Can we deliver dumplings?" Wang Suyan asked.

"It should be fine. At worst, the brothers can eat them at the school gate," Yan Xiwan laughed lightly. "Actually, since it’s the New Year, family visits are allowed."

"Alright. We will go visit them tomorrow," Wang Suyan decided immediately.

"Who are you going to visit?" Two young men in green uniforms entered. They were Yan Zhixin and Yan Zhishan.

"Second Brother, Little Brother." Yan Xiwan waved, her face full of joy. "Mother, Second Brother and Little Brother are back."

Wang Suyan hummed, her face also full of smiles. "Why are you back? I thought you wouldn’t be coming back this year."

"We might have missions next year, so this New Year, they let us come back to reunite with our family," Yan Zhixin said.

"Does Zhishan have a mission too?" Since they became adults, Yan Tieniu and Wang Suyan no longer called them by their nicknames.

"Yes. We will go for internships next year, so we have to go," Yan Zhishan answered.

Yan Xiwan said, "Let’s not worry about things after the New Year. Today is New Year’s Eve, the last day of this year. We must happily send off the old year and welcome the new one."

"That’s right." Yan Tieniu also agreed with his daughter from the side. "Wife, hurry up. The children are all back. Let’s celebrate properly."

Wang Suyan smiled, stood up, and went to the kitchen to add more dishes.

The family of five rarely reunited on this day.

Everyone sat around the small round table.

Yan Tieniu raised a glass of wine. "Come. Today our family is reunited. Let’s have a good drink."

So everyone raised their glasses. Even Yan Xiwan had a glass of drink poured for her, and they all toasted together.

"It’s so good. It’s rare that everyone is here this year," Wang Suyan said with a satisfied smile. "I hope we can add members to the family next year."

Yan Xiwan grinned and said, "Mother, you don’t need to urge this. Basically, Big Brother and I are fine. Big Brother has a partner, and I have Brother Tianyun. You should say this to Second Brother and Little Brother."

"Goodness. You should consider this. We are your brothers. It’s not good to kick them when they’re down," Yan Zhixin said, looking at Yan Xiwan with speechlessness.

Yan Xiwan stuck out her tongue. "No choice. Mother is worried that no one will want you."

Yan Zhishan looked at Yan Zhicheng and said, "Big Brother, you are so unreliable. How could you find a girlfriend?"

"If you don’t find one yourselves, do you think I can’t?" Yan Zhicheng’s words were quite clever.

"Zhishan, don’t tell me you don’t want to find a girlfriend yourself, so you are dragging your brothers along," Wang Suyan’s tone was very dangerous.

Yan Zhishan shook his head hurriedly, thinking in his heart, Oh my god, my mother is so dangerous.

Wang Suyan said directly, "Don’t think that because you are the youngest among the sons, I won’t urge you. Your big brother already has a partner. I give you two brothers two years to bring partners home."

"Don’t," Yan Zhixin spoke up. "Mother, Big Brother only got a partner when he was twenty-seven. I am only twenty-three now. There are still four years until twenty-seven. Why did you suddenly cut it down by two years?"

"Yes. Not to mention Second Brother, especially me. I am only twenty years old. Mother, why are you urging me to marry? I have at least seven years until I reach Big Brother’s age," Yan Zhishan also said.

"I originally didn’t want to interfere with you. But since you wanted to drag your big brother along, I think I should give you some pressure," Wang Suyan said directly.

So the culprits who caused this result were themselves.

Yan Xiwan watched Yan Zhixin and Yan Zhishan with a grin. Yan Zhixin saw his sister’s smile, raised his eyebrows, and his eyes revealed a hint of plea, asking his sister to intercede.

After laughing, Yan Xiwan said to Wang Suyan, "Mother, it’s not that Second Brother and Little Brother don’t want to find girlfriends. It’s that their work environments make it hard to find them."

"That’s right," Yan Zhixin quickly took up the conversation. "Mother, the team I am in now has no girls at all. The only one is a sparrow on the tree at the gate, and I don’t even know if it’s male or female."

"Yes, yes," Yan Zhishan also said. "Mother, although there are female students in the military academy, there are none in my class. Also, dating between students is not allowed in the military academy."

Wang Suyan sighed after hearing this. "If that’s the case, your wives are not settled."

Yan Xiwan hurriedly comforted her. "Mother, don’t worry. Maybe in a few years, they will each find their own destiny. Nothing is better than letting nature take its course."

Yan Zhicheng spoke up at this time. "Yes, Mother. Look, you used to worry about me too. Now I have a girlfriend, right? Zhixin and Zhishan will likely be the same. When the time comes, the marriage destiny will naturally arrive."
