Transmigrated to a Period Novel as the Genius Antagonist's Birth Mother

Chapter 52: New Year's Eve, Coming Back

Jiang Shengnan has a good relationship with the residents in the family compound. Most of the neighbors who live near her house have been there for many years.

Seeing a young woman standing next to Jiang Shengnan with a child, someone couldn't help but ask curiously, "Shengnan, who is this? She looks so beautiful."

Jiang Shengnan immediately had a proud smile on her face and said while holding Chu Xia's hand, "This is my daughter-in-law Chu Xia, and this is my grandson An'an. They specially came to celebrate the New Year with us!"

With that proud look, Chu Xia seemed like the best daughter-in-law, and An'an was the best grandson.

Jiang Shengnan touched An'an's head and said, "I told them it's too troublesome to come here, it's so far away, and it's inconvenient to bring An'an. But Chu Xia said that it's not a real New Year if the whole family isn't together, so she brought An'an here directly. She also said that when An'an was younger, it was fine, but now that he's older, he should meet his grandparents. It really moved me and Lao Cen. With a daughter-in-law like her, Lao Cen and I don't know how much good fortune we've accumulated over the years."

Chu Xia stood silently by the side, only smiling, cooperating perfectly with Jiang Shengnan's show-off.

The neighbor who asked the question also laughed along, saying, "You are truly blessed. Look at my daughter-in-law, she doesn't even come here for Chinese New Year, it would be nice if she just made a phone call."

Jiang Shengnan quickly praised her daughter-in-law again, and the two of them complimented each other for a while before she restrained her smile and continued walking forward with Chu Xia.

As they walked, Jiang Shengnan said to Chu Xia, "The person just now is the wife of the logistics department's director, Lu Qin. She works at the military hospital. Don't listen to what she just said, she actually doesn't like her daughter-in-law and doesn't want people to come. Don't pay any attention to her words and don't talk to her too much."

Chu Xia will remember in her heart, when she sees Lu Qin, just greet each other when meeting, and avoid deep communication.

On the way out of the family compound, Chu Xia and An'an got to know many family members led by Jiang Shengnan. The gazes of those family members towards Chu Xia varied from friendly and curious to critical and disdainful.

Chu Xia felt that she wouldn't have much contact with them in the future. It would be enough for her to remember their names and greet them without calling the wrong person. She didn't care about anything else.

An'an was not interested in the families in the residential compound. What interested him more were the soldiers who occasionally marched in formation from time to time.

This was a group of people he had never come into contact with before. The soldiers walked in perfect unison, with a straight posture, and would salute when they saw Jiang Shengnan.

 Every time he saw a group, An'an would stare at the soldiers with wide eyes, even after they had walked away, he would still turn around to look at them.

He was very curious as to why they would salute his grandmother. However, he was not familiar with Jiang Shengnan, and he rarely spoke in front of unfamiliar people.

 The term "salute" was something he learned from his textbook, where the teacher taught them to salute the national flag.

 Chu Xia noticed his actions and asked him, "An'an, do you like these soldier uncles?"

An'an replied, "I like them!" 

Jiang Shengnan smiled with wrinkles at the corner of her eyes and touched An'an's head, saying, "An'an has a good eye! Soldiers protect the family and the country and are the most admirable people."
