Chapter 661: Chapter 657: Everyone is Very Generous

——————

Nanny Chen appeared to be utterly flustered, sitting on the stool as if it were covered in thorns, shaking tremendously.

Yan Jinsu saw this, and the warmth in her eyes softened even further.

Fortunately, over these years, Nanny Chen had been confined to the kitchen in the backyard and had not encountered Xie Jingchen in public. Otherwise, Xie Jingchen would have long been reported for improper behavior.

"Nanny, I’m not trying to criticize you, but I hope you can understand that calling him like this would only make it difficult for Brother Chen to fit in with others. We’re all his family, and we definitely wish for his well-being, don’t we?"

Yan Jinsu gently patted her aged hand, soothingly persuading.

"I..." Nanny Chen, upon hearing Yan Jinsu actually consider her as ’family’, suddenly felt her eyes welling up with tears.

Her heart felt a wave of affirmation, and looking at Yan Jinsu with grateful, tear-filled eyes, she said, "Madam, I...I’m just used to it."

"Alright, nanny, I won’t force you. If you can’t change the way you address him, could you call ’Thirteenth Master’ as commander instead?"

The currently fashionable titles were ’Mister, Madam’, but Xie Jingchen was already serving as Rongwei Chief, so calling him commander was more appropriate, and he was more accustomed to it as well.

Seeing the old nanny not object and even nodding in agreement, Yan Jinsu breathed a sigh of relief.

The nickname Nanny Chen used for her was quite acceptable, but when she thought of the titles for her two adoring babies, she felt like facepalming, suggesting:

"However, Xiaojiu and Xiao Shi are just too young to be addressed in such a manner by you. In our hometown, it’s customary that the nicknames for little infants are as humble as possible to ensure they are raised well, so just call them Xiaojiu and Xiao Shi like the rest of us."

"Of course, Madam," Nanny Chen nodded repeatedly. After all, servility was not inherent, and in these past years, being surrounded by the transport teams, these big nephews and little nephews were both polite and respectful to her, thus Nanny Chen acted more normal.

It was only when facing Xie Jingchen, her great benefactor, that she was prone to becoming muddled.

"Nanny, during this time, we will have to rely on your help."

"No, no, Madam, this is something nanny ought to do. Madam, the soup will get cold soon, you should drink the bone broth quickly to warm up a bit."

"Alright. Later, please take some soup to Chun Mei in her room, so she doesn’t have to walk back and forth and risk aggravating her wound."

"Oh, Chun Mei got injured? Ah, Madam, I will go check on her right away."

Seeing herself being useful, Nanny Chen’s earlier dejection vanished, and she energetically replied.

"Alright, go ahead." Yan Jinsu responded approvingly, as she liked people who were practical.

Wang Chunmei, having seen Third Brother and Third Sister-in-law needed to talk, took Xiaojiu and Xiao Shi back to their inner chamber. After lulling them to sleep and tucking them in with their warm cotton quilts, she quietly left the main room and returned to her west wing chamber.

After all, she had come to understand somewhat that Brother Xie’s military rank seemed to be not insignificant, and certainly not as simple as the ’small Rong Commander’ he had told the villagers he was!

While she might not be highly educated, there were some things she was not supposed to hear, and she understood that much; at least her emotional intelligence was up to par.

Of course, Xie Jingchen had downplayed his military rank from the start truly out of fear of trouble.

Except for being honest about his real Rong Ji to his own parents, he always told others he was just a small Rong Commander to avoid the headache of villagers wanting to make connections.

Thinking about it, coming from the countryside to become a Rongtong Guard was already seen as a Great Rong Guard by the villagers.

If they were told that Xie Jingchen is now a Rong Guard Captain, to whom even his subordinates must refer to as ’commander’, I guess the suddenly appeared ’distant relatives’ could make three full laps around the village!

Xie Jingchen hated trouble the most, especially these kinds of distant relatives who, while initially seeming helpful, end up being a burden like a cumbersome bear.

This is why, at the beginning of his marriage, although Xie Jingchen was just a small Rong Commander in the eyes of the villagers, he demonstrated the capabilities that were anything but small.

No wonder his subordinates all love to call him ’Rash’, ’Xie Huli’; indeed, he’s too cunning, slippery as an eel.

Xie Jingchen had too much on his plate, and Yan Jinsu didn’t really deal with the matters of the front courtyard. Since she entered the Siheyuan, Yan Jinsu decided to start a life of nurturing her pregnancy and repairing the Soul Crystal.

In the back courtyard, with the help of Wang Chunmei and Nanny Chen, Little Jiu and Xiao Shi were both very well-behaved and obedient. There was nowhere for them to cause trouble when it snowed outside, so they could only stay inside and play where the floor heating was.

Xie Jingchen went to the front courtyard for a while and had already directed people to unload the goods from the cart one by one, and after inspecting the environment with Yan Jinsu, he pointed to a small corner connected to the inner room and instructed her husband to lay a carpet there.

With male labor at home, such a small task was quickly completed. Right after Yan Jinsu finished a bowl of soup, Xie Jingchen had already arranged everything.

Yan Jinsu directed to lay a layer of brightly colored carpet that made the dim environment suddenly very vibrant. The carpet was thick and squarely cut, about six square meters in size, and henceforth Little Jiu and Xiao Shi would play with building blocks or exercise on it.

For little kids, the best thing for their eyes is to look at a variety of colorful things or sceneries while they’re young, it’s beneficial for their pupils.

Seeing that it was getting dark outside, Nanny Chen immediately went to the kitchen to showcase her skills, cooking up two big tables of delicious meaty dishes so that tonight’s meal started from a little after six and lasted till nine in the evening.

As soon as it struck six, all the men out on errands rushed back home, and everyone, upon their return, was excited to finally see the boss’ family arrive in Beijing.

The camaraderie among these men was really forged at the dining table, and that’s no empty talk~

It was also a rare occasion, as it was still during the New Year and the Lantern Festival hadn’t even arrived yet. When they suddenly saw the boss they respected the most bringing over their elder sister-in-law and the cute and adorable little Bao’er, everyone was finding excuses to get Xie Jingchen to drink.

For ’thousand-cup Jingchen’ who never gets drunk, these subordinates were simply masochists!

Hu Zhengjie and Ma Shan, understanding this logic, just shook their heads secretly. Both of them had experienced a lesson when Little Jiu’er added lights on the sixth day of the New Year.

They wouldn’t be so foolish as to walk into self-inflicted harm again. They didn’t volunteer themselves but were instigating their comrades to team up for the upcoming period.

After all, in their eyes, there was only one boss, but in their line of work, there happened to be ten strong men, wow!

If ten against one still couldn’t win, these big guys would really be losing face!

In fact, it’s truly impossible to win over him.

Xie Jingchen was delighted in his heart; today’s life was fulfilling with a son and a daughter, a charming wife, success and fame, and brotherly unity. For Xie Jingchen, these were things worth being happy about.

Therefore, he welcomed all comers.

Although he had the Space Button, he wouldn’t stoop to such low levels of cheating while drinking with his brothers. He was genuinely competing with everyone in drinking.

Half a bowl with just a touch.

The strong Rong men were all very generous.
